Chapter 123: 【International Storm】


  The draft convention turned into a trading floor in the final stage. The selected rookies are the same as free agents, and the team can trade them at any time as needed.
   There was no big deal this year, only the Spurs traded the 28th pick guard Barbosa to the Suns for a future first-round draft pick.
  Wang Jun quickly received a call from the management of the Heat, called by manager Pat Riley.
   Riley is very famous, known as the "golden counter". As the head coach, he is the only person in NBA history who has led two different teams to win more than 330 games.
   Heat followed Wade and watched the Golden Eagles vs. Wolverines game. As a result, the uniform team also became interested in Wang Jun, and watched the game of Wolverine VS Kentucky.
   Riley had some expectations for Wang Jun's "extraction". He had no good goals in the second round and he was selected.
   Riley smiled and introduced herself: "Wang Jun, hello, I'm Heat Manager Pat Riley."
   "Hello, Mr. Riley."
   Riley spoke straight away. "I want to ask you if you have time in July and hope you will play for the Summer League on behalf of the Heat"
   "Of course there is time."
   "Okay, someone will contact your broker for specific situations, be prepared to take advantage of you, and you will get enough performance opportunities."
   "Thank you, I will work hard."
   Riley hung up the phone.
   Soon after, Hughes called.
  Wang Jun asked: "What do you think of joining the Heat, is it a good thing?"
   "It's hard to say that the Heat are rebuilding. Only when Wade plays the point guard will you get stable playing time. What is his level, I believe you are very clear."
   Wang Jun sighed. He was not afraid of competition, but it felt badly suppressed.
   Hughes could not give a clear answer, because the Heat have sufficient salary space, can dig people in the free market in the summer, the strength is undecided.
   "Play the summer league first. Only when it shows value, the team will give you a chance, and then it depends on luck."
  Wang Jun made several phone calls.
   Chatted with Abby, Annunciation to family, then heard Kaman complained for a while.
  David also had a phone conversation with Wang Jun. He thought the Heat were a good choice. Wang Jun was proud to be selected in the fourth round.
   This year's pitcher is generally considered low, and Brian Cook of the inside all fell to the end of the first round, initially predicting that he will enter the green house.
  David urged: "Wang, you must play the summer league well. This is a game to investigate newcomers. It is promising to play beautiful data. You have to fight to sign a contract with the team in July."
   "I'm definitely trying my best. But Wade is also participating, this guy is bad if I don't pass the ball..." Wang Jun feels a hidden danger.
   "As a teammate, you have to work hard to have a good relationship with him. There is only a misunderstanding between you. I don't think there will be any problems."
   "I hope so." Wang Jun knew that David had some good intentions.
   As for hatred, he really didn't have that idea. A thing that happened in the past is over. Are the two guys playing games and remembering all their lives?
   just didn't know what Wade thought, so he had no idea.
  Everyone says that the Summer League is the key. If the Summer League is not played well and the Heat is reluctant to use Wang Jun, he may not be able to obtain a guarantee contract and will be laid off by the team before January of the following year. That has a bad influence on the player's entire career.
   Young players must avoid being laid off, which shows that this player has obvious defects, either offense is too bad or defense is too bad.
   The next day, the US media overwhelmingly reported the NBA draft results.
  The highest exposure rate is James, followed by Wade, because he created an upset.
  The media mentioned Wang Jun, who used the term "lucky Chinese" to describe him, and analyzed that he could be selected in the first few rounds, largely because of the Chinese market. In terms of personal ability, he should not be ranked before Mo Williams, Pachulia and others.
  ESPN also talked about the younger age of rookies.
   This year's top 4 draft picks are all players under the age of 20. Number one pick James and top spot Milicic are only 18 years old, Anthony and Bosh are 19 years old, and all 29 rookies in the first round are all players born after 1980.
  All 58 rookies except the Hawks only had the 8th pick in the second round. Hansen was born on April 15, 1978. The other 57 rookies were all born after 80 years, and as many as 14 under the age of 20.
   A large number of young rookies entered the NBA, which brought a change to the team's management and forced the team to add assistant coaches. At present, there are at least 3 assistants in a team, and the Mavericks are the most exaggerated. They actually have 9, and their job is more like a nanny.
   In order to change the younger age of rookies, the NBA is now trying to transform the draft system, not allowing players under the age of 20 to participate in the NBA draft. This slogan has been called for several years, and there has been no specific action.
   Radio's "big mouth" Barkley commented on the draft and laughed that the NBA is becoming a WBA.
   This year's rookie conference is simply an exhibition of international players. 21 international players were selected, and 8 first round players set an NBA draft record.
Capono was dissatisfied with his order and joked in an interview: "I should go to Croatia to play after a year of college, and then I must wear a beard and change the name to Vladimir Kaponovic. It's perfect. I will definitely be selected in the first round."
   In short, the NBA's international player storm has already started, and Wang Jun is also one of them.
   Scouts recognize the strength of international players. In international competitions, the gap between American basketball and world basketball is narrowing. People are desperately pursuing the next Nowitzki, the next Stojakovic, the next Yao Ming. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
  Three days later, the summer league schedule was announced.
   This summer league is very different, divided into four places, Long Beach in California, Orlando in Florida, Boston area and Salt Lake City.
   The game time is also divided: Long Beach July 7-21; Orlando July 9-13; Boston July 14-21; Salt Lake City July 19-27.
   China has three players participating in the summer league. Wang Zhizhi is in the Long Beach area. Bart, who has just won the championship with the Spurs, will play in Salt Lake City.
  Wang Jun received a notice to represent the Heat in the Long Beach Summer League. Wade was also in the battle.
   This summer league was broadcast live on television for the first time due to the participation of No. 1 LeBron James. The Heat's first game opponent was the Cavaliers.
   One week before the game, the media began to hype, attracting the attention of many fans. For a rookie, even if he is the champion, it is very rare.
  What surprises will James bring fans?
  Wade is superior, or is it a parallel selected by Gao Shun?
   Chinese players Wang Jun and Wade changed from opponents to partners, can they cooperate?
  The matchup between Capono and Wang Jun was also regarded as one of the highlights. Someone reported that the Cavaliers had invited the two to try out and finally chose Capono.
  On July 6, Wang Jun flew to Los Angeles, and then drove to Long Beach City to meet with the summer league teammates.
  During the game, the players will all stay in the booked three-star hotel, and the treatment is good.
  After three months, Wang Jun and Wade met again.
