Yang Rui contacted Jerry Colangelo, the head of the U.S. Basketball Association, and when asked, it became clear why they did not want to engage in training camps.
It is not that the American Basketball Association looks down on the Chinese youth team, but that the U16 U.S. Championship ended as early as mid-June. Now together to train together, the American players are purely helping the Chinese team warm up, who would be willing to do this?
Since the NBA Finals was in progress at the time, there weren’t many people paying attention to this group of kids. Even on June 13th, they beat the Mexican team by a 130-31 disparity, tied three U16 records, and broke four U.S. records. The U16 team's history record can only be posted on a small section of the news.
The young Mexicans were beaten mentally, and the basketball court on the playing field was also twisted by these precocious black boys. The Mexican coach exclaimed after the game: "Which is like a group of middle school students playing?"
Training with this group of strongmen will definitely help the Chinese teenagers. As for the careful consideration of the Chinese Basketball Association who is unwilling to spend money, Yang Rui didn't care about it at all, and he took it all over.
Helping Chinese basketball improve is a feeling for him, to do something for his compatriots, and by the way, to brush his reputation. He sponsored the opening of a training camp, and the media will surely scramble to report, and in this way, he can legally contact future potential stars and lay a good emotional foundation for future cooperation in the NBA.
Yang Rui stated that he would bear the cost of training for the U16 players. Colangelo immediately called his men to a meeting and settled the matter in less than an hour. The training location was in Los Angeles, using the Clippers training ground.
Officials are not stupid, and this is also an advantage for American players. These people were fortunate enough to accept the guidance of the pope in basketball in high school, maybe there will be several stars in the future.
The U.S. Basketball Association only needs to send an email invitation to the players, limit the quota, and find replacements if they don't want to come.
It was a training camp sponsored by Yang Rui. Of course, young players are willing to participate. This is a shortcut to fame.
The finals have been over for more than a month, and the media often reports on Yang Rui’s news. He can attract attention no matter what he does. His achievements are people’s talk after dinner.
Not only sports news, but entertainment news often talks about Yang Rui. Recently, "The Thief and Dad 2" was released, and it was the consecutive box office champion. The world boxed up hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. It is predicted that the world's box office will eventually exceed 1 billion dollars, and it is crazy to attract gold.
The twelve players who participated in the U16 U.S. Championships all received the email and voluntarily participated in the training camp. The Basketball Association also invited one more person to be selected. He missed the U16 World Championships due to injury. He is now healed and has a bright future.
As long as they can be appreciated by Yang Rui, their chances of entering the NBA will increase greatly in the future. The short-term benefit is to wait for the end of high school and to play in prestigious universities.
Yang Rui looked at the list and found several acquaintances in the previous life.
Jason Tatum, a small forward with a height of 203cm, was selected by the Celtics in 2017, and his shooting accuracy.
Tatum was notorious as soon as he entered the league because the Celtics originally held the No. 1 pick, which was traded from the Nets, but they gave the No. 1 pick to the 76ers for a third overall pick. And a protected first-round draft pick in 2018. The reason for this transaction is that the Green Army only wants to pick Tatum because they hold the top pick.
Josh Jackson, who joined the Suns in the fourth round of the first round, 203CM swingman, has super explosive sports ability, excellent running and jumping, both strength and agility, he staged many popular explosive dunks in this year's US Championships.
Harry Giles, a very mobile center, joined the Kings with 20th pick in the first round of 17 years. He is now 202cm tall, playing power forward, can grow taller, and performs well in small ball tactics.
The handsome Thomas Bryant, a 208cm tall center, joined the Lakers in the second round of 2017. He is a meat shield center and signed a two-year contract. He has a good body and has potential to be tapped.
The most famous one on this list is the injured person specially approved by the Basketball Association, "Social My Brother"-Lonzo Ball!
Yang Rui also received a list of Chinese players, Zhang Xiaolei, Wu Mincheng, Hu Jinqiu, Zhao Yanhao, Wang Zixu, Fu Hao and so on.
Yang Rui is completely unfamiliar with these names. His previous life was only responsible for the NBA section. There were not many CBA games. He vaguely remembered the names of some CBA stars. He was not deliberately remembered in the book.
Can be selected to participate in the training camp, it must be the leader of the younger generation in China, Yang Rui is ready to give them some suggestions to make them less detours.
Even if there is no rebirth memory blessing, Yang Rui has been an NBA coach for 16 years from 1997 to now. The horizon is not comparable to that of ordinary coaches. He can provide players with the right direction of development.
On August 8, the training camp was officially opened, and the players arrived in Los Angeles one after another.
Surprisingly, not only the U16 players of the two countries, but also several young players of the Clippers, Curry, Draymond Green, Sackley, Crabbe, Middleton, Wesley- Johnson and others volunteered to do sparring for free.
Last season's marginalists wanted to get higher and get more playing time. Before that, they teamed up to play in the Summer League and achieved a victory record.
U16 players will not be very strong. These adult players are suspected of bullying children, but they want to seize every opportunity to perform in front of Yang Rui.
Green and Middleton are particularly active. Yang Rui specifically mentioned their names in an interview with the media, thinking that they have the potential to become All-Stars. They hope that the sooner they succeed, the better, rather than complacent after listening to praise.
The newly joined Wesley Johnson cherishes this opportunity most. He has long forgotten that he was the fourth place in the draft. There is no shelf, and he intends to use this opportunity to have a good relationship with his teammates.
Stephen Curry, who is already an All-Star, came not entirely for fun, because he brought his younger brother Seth Curry~EbookFREE.me~ Seth, who had just recovered from injury, had previously participated in the NBA draft , Unfortunately lost.
In 2013, in the early draft year, Seth didn't even get mixed in the second round. It was too miserable, and he couldn't compare with his brother.
Stephen wants to bring his brother in this way, let Yang Rui help guide for a while, or look at Seth's strength, consider signing him to the Clippers in the future, and fight side by side.
Next season is definitely impossible, the Clippers 15 people are already full. Fortunately, Seth didn't expect to be a foothold in the NBA next season, willing to go to other teams to practice, playing in the Development League. It's okay to delay some time. Their entire family believes that Yang Rui is a bit capable of becoming a goldsmith.
Yang Rui knew that Seth had potential. They all inherited his dad's soft wrist and shot accurately.
In his previous life, Seth made a start in the Mavericks in the 16-17 season, averaging 29 minutes per game, contributing 12.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals. He shot 48.1% from the field and 42.5% from the 3-point range. Unfortunately, he will be sidelined indefinitely due to a left tibia injury next season.
What Yang Rui cares most about is, why is this baby's face value so different from that of her brother? He would like to ask: "Are you really Stephen's brother? How does it look like his uncle?"
It's not an exaggeration at all. The two facial features are not the same except their mouths, unlike their brothers. Seth smiled, his eyes and eyebrows down into eight characters, seemingly unenergized, as if going to the wine table to talk about business and drunk the profiteers signing the contract.
Many Clippers players who went on vacation abroad also considered whether to fly back to participate in the training. Yang Rui sent them a message online, it is not mandatory training, continue to rest. Especially Livingston and Nash, who have hidden injuries, must rest more, and they have to limit their playing time in the new season.
Enough people came this time.
