Chapter 565: Getting hotter

Old Jim retired from the NBA and returned to teach at Syracuse University.
D'Antoni became the head coach of the Nuggets. The original coaching team barely moved, leaving it to him.
"Lee, the one we fancy was chosen."
"Oh, what a pity!"
Zhu Ba was selected, which Li Nan did not expect. If there were more shooters like him on the bench, the Nuggets bench would be even more powerful.
It's just a pity that it was cut off.
Zhu Ba went to the Cavaliers, which was actually pretty good. The Cavaliers are the belly of the East, and they don't even have a decent star. Perhaps Zhu Ba went there. Maybe it can really be famous.
"Coach, let's change our goal, just him."
"Gilbert?"
Gilbert Arenas is a player from the University of Arizona, the NCAA runner-up team this year. At that time, D'Antoni only watched the game with old Jim. However, Arenas' performance was completely beaten by teammate Richard Jefferson and opponents Battier and Boozer of Duke University. Arenas is not as conspicuous as they are.
D'Antoni doesn't know why the old Jim and Li Nan both value this kid, but they are also the 26th overall pick.
The team's championship lineup is basically still there, and Bobby Jackson, who proposed to leave, will be replaced by Michael Reid as the sixth man. Now there is no problem with adding a few rookies here.
"Okay. Lee, I believe in your choice."
Originally, Li Nan wanted to suggest Tony Parker, but Li Nan still chose Arenas by comparison.
Tony Parker was quickly lost by the 28th overall pick traded by the Spurs.
The first round ended soon.
Many Chinese fans have changed channels, and there is nothing to watch in the second round.
However, many people kept watching.
Then, the surprise came.
In the second round, more Chinese players' names appeared.
"The Atlanta Hawks selected Xue Yuyang from China with the 48th overall pick."
"The Dallas Mavericks selected Bart from China with the 58th overall pick."
Although the other 7 people who were not selected are very sorry, they are really happy for their brothers.
"Yeah! Brother, come on!"
"Xiao Xue, come on!"
"Bus, come on!"
Xue Yuyang and Bart both nodded resolutely and agreed. Stepping onto the stage and receiving their own hats, their new life journey began.
And a corner of the stands also became a sensation.
"Yay!"
This is a group of little guys studying abroad.
The kid Xu Yong kept admiring, "Wow! They are so awesome. 11 people came and 4 were selected. If there are 100, wouldn't it be necessary to select 40."
"Hahaha," Yi Jianlian and others were also laughed at by Xu Yong's algorithm.
"You kid really dare to think about it." Captain Wang Zi corrected it; "This is not the case. Even if we come to a hundred, only 4 will be selected. The best 4 are known as Americans. 600 people participated in the draft, isn't that just over 40 selected?"
Xu Yong just didn't believe it, "Why? We have a dozen or twenty people here, plus those at home, we will be rushing to participate in the draft when the time comes. I don't believe that we are only four selected."
"Hen~" Wang Yu was also made fun of by Xu Yong's words, but what Xu Yong said did make some sense.
"Who knows what will happen then."
In the future, can we also set foot on that stadium like them?
Everyone's faces are full of expectation.
...
The draft is quickly over.
A total of 11 Chinese players participated in the draft, and 4 of them were selected. This result is very good.
We ate a meal together, and then we parted, and went to different things.
The four selected stayed, and the others had their own plans.
Some of the 7 have made up their minds and come back next year!
"I can practice for another year this year, too!"
They are still young, motivated, and motivated. Not this year, maybe next year it will do. It won't work next year, maybe it will work the next year.
Some people gave up.
"It's better to go back to CBA. The gap is too big. I'll just play CBA with peace of mind."
Some people choose to stay.
"Li Ge said that this year the NBA will have a secondary league formation. I think this is an opportunity."
Liu Wei is the only one who wants to stay.
Others think that the secondary league is not as valuable as going back to play CBA. The point is that the secondary league is too bitter, and the salary is too low.
How many years have they suffered since they started training in sports schools when they were young, and now they play professionally? Now that we have to start from the bottom league, this is not something that everyone can hold on.
People have their own ambitions.
This is their own way of life.
...
The South Korean team also left New York. On the plane, their faces were full of frustration.
There are 4 Chinese players selected, plus the two who were in the NBA, now there are 6. And what about your country? No one!
Every year is the most promising year, but every year is disappointed.
This hit them too hard.
The Korean media also began to help find the "reasons for the failure of the Korean men's basketball team":
"Why is Chinese basketball developing so fast? This is because there are too many people playing basketball in China. If we want to catch up with the Chinese team, we need to encourage more children to participate in basketball."
The Japanese media reported: "In this draft, 11 Chinese men's basketball players participated and 4 were selected. As a result, they will have 6 players in the NBA. NBA superstar Li Nan, star Wang Dazhi The new champion Yao Liang...Chinese basketball has stood on top of Asia and they have begun to take the world stage. We are too far behind. It is time for our Japanese basketball to reform."
But our domestic basketball fans have experienced the event once again and are very excited.
The news network even gave 1 minute. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
"In the NBA Draft just this morning, our country selected 11 outstanding players to participate, and finally 4 were selected by the NBA team. Among them, Yao Liang was selected by the Wizards with the first pick, becoming the first in NBA history. No. 1 in the international draft. And the others..."
Yao Liang, Zhu Fangyu, Bart, Xue Yuyang, the four have been mentioned many times, and Liu Wei, who stayed in the United States to play in the secondary league, is also mentioned. Li Nan and Wang Dazhi were also highly praised.
"...Facts have proved that our Basketball Association's "going out" policy is extremely correct. Today, we have a Li Nan, and in the future, we will have more Li Nan, more Wang Dazhi, Yao Liang. The future of Chinese basketball is promising."
Under such circumstances, more people began to understand basketball, more people stepped into the basketball court, and more people started basketball.
Various levels of large and small competitions, various types of basketball games in the communities of provincial and municipal units have sprung up constantly.
Domestic basketball is becoming more and more popular.
