"Your situation does not meet the conditions for direct signing. Although the data will be recorded, you are not considered a player who has played in the NBA. There are only two ways for freshman to enter the NBA, one is to participate in the draft and be selected, the other

The first is to enter the draft and lose the draft. Of course, Noah, I'm not sure if you can actually participate in the draft, but we have to give it a try."

"It would be great if it is possible, Mr. Duffy, let's see if we can participate in the draft first, and there is no guarantee whether we can be selected. If I can't enter the NBA in the end, I won't be able to cooperate with you.

"Sun Ce did not give a specific commitment, but he did not refuse either.

"Okay, let's stop talking today. I'll go back and help you prepare to apply for early participation in the draft. This is Yao's contact information. He is very happy to have a compatriot who can play such a beautiful game in the NBA."

After exchanging emails and mobile phone numbers, Bill Duffy finally left Yao Ming's phone number and left.

He didn't press forward step by step, trying to leave a good impression on Sun Ce.

But after almost every sentence, Yao Ming is mentioned, playing the relationship card...

Needless to say, even though Sun Ce knew that this famous agent was best at playing the relationship card, his first impression of Bill Duffy was very good.

Sun Ce really almost agreed to sign the contract directly, but he knew that agreeing now might be very different from agreeing after actually entering the NBA.

Now that I have signed a contract, it seems that everything can be accomplished with the help of Bill Duffy. I feel like I can't enter the NBA without Bill Duffy.

But after actually entering the NBA and then signing a contract, although the process may be the same, the psychological aspect will be very different.

This is already a favor owed to Yao Ming, who he still doesn't know. Sun Ce doesn't want to owe Bill Duffy any more favors. At least he needs to be in a balanced state when working together in the future.

But Sun Ce really didn’t expect that he could still participate in the draft!

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the opportunity to step onto the draft stage at Madison Square Garden, is something no basketball player wants to give up, and Sun Ce will also experience it.

And being selected, even in the second round, means there is the possibility of signing a guaranteed contract!

…

On the afternoon of April 25, 2009, less than two days before the early draft application deadline, NBA Vice President Adam Silver was looking at the status of this year's early draft applications.

The registration deadline is two months before the draft. This year's draft is set to be June 27, which means registration ends on April 27.

Adam Silva looked at 135 early draft applications, of which a total of 134 have been approved and only one has been rejected.

The NBA early draft draft system was stipulated during the labor negotiations in the summer of 2005. It limits the age of participation to 19 years old and restricts high school students from participating in the draft.

However, the 19-year-old age limit is relatively broad. As long as you are 19 years old or older in the year of the draft and have graduated from high school for at least one year, you can participate in the draft. It is only for American high school students. That is to say, high school students are restricted from participating in the draft, but as long as they have studied

You can participate in the draft every year in college.

There are even fewer restrictions on overseas players, because except for the United States, basketball players in most countries enter youth teams when they are in junior high school. Those who are talented enough to enter the NBA usually start playing in leagues around the world when they are sixteen or seventeen years old.

Playing for the first team.

For example, the future Antetokounmpo was only 18 years and seven months old when he participated in the 2013 draft, and he only turned 19 in December.

Since American high school students cannot participate in the draft, the NBA will not accept draft applications from high school students. Applications from college students will definitely be approved, so Adam Silva is just going to take a look at the names that apply for the draft in advance, and he is not very interested.

Applications for the general draft will definitely be passed, such as overseas players and American college graduates under the age of 22, who will definitely pass as long as they have not played in the NBA. Of course, more young players

Players over the age of 22 are automatically eligible for selection.

After the early application for draft system was introduced, there had been no rejection of draft applications in three years. Suddenly, a name appeared on the rejected list, and Adam Silva became curious.

Clicking on the rejected list, Adam Silva saw the name, thought of something, thought for a while, got up and went to the president's office...

…

…

"Mr. Sun, congratulations on passing the early draft application. Your draft information has been sent to each team..."

Sun Ce jumped up with excitement when he saw the email from the NBA official.

After waiting for three days, when the early draft application deadline came on April 27, I finally received an email reply from the NBA official stating that my application was approved.

After getting excited, Sun Ce guessed that the reason for passing the draft application might be related to his identity.

Chinese defender!

Sun Ce was very grateful that he still had Chinese blood in his body.

It feels really great to be able to participate in the draft.

I immediately called Bill Duffy and thanked him for his help.

However, Bill Duffy did not mention the signing this time. He asked Sun Ce to continue training hard, and after the draft lottery, he would help Sun Ce contact some teams that are suitable for him to try out.

Bill Duffy's gentle and non-aggressive communication style made Sun Ce feel very comfortable.

Sun Ce also wanted to thank Yao Ming, but seeing that the Rockets were playing the first round with the Trail Blazers, and the game was fierce, Sun Ce did not bother Yao Ming, and waited until the first round was over before congratulating the opponent. Currently, the Rockets had the advantage.

, and according to Sun Ce’s memory, the Rockets can pass the first round this year. In the second round, Sun Ce wanted to remind Yao Ming of something.

Regardless of whether you can succeed or not, you have to do your part anyway!

After informing his friend John about this matter, Sun Ce continued to devote himself to training, and now he is even more motivated!

The training for the Essence and Blood Strengthening Card has been going on for less than half a month, and he has developed a habit. In terms of basketball skills training, Sun Ce began to increase the intensity of training.

The content of the training is very simple, there are only three items, two of which are the head coach, these two are ball control and layup.

When he got up for his morning run in the morning, Sun Ce started to take the ball and go out for a morning run while dribbling the ball.

The advantage of living in the villa area is that the roads are flat and clean, which is very suitable for Sun Ce to practice dribbling while running.

Layup and shooting training are done after daily training.

Mainly layups and ball control, these are two things that Sun Ce is good at. Of course, it is only relative to his personal skills. C-level ball control and C+ level layups... are actually not very good.

But this is an ability he demonstrated in the only NBA game he played, so he naturally has to train hard.

In this way, on the basis of eliminating external interference, having perseverance and perseverance, and having stronger motivation, seeing the progress of the training tasks of the Essence and Blood Strengthening Card increase from (0/30) day by day, Sun Ce's training effect

It's getting better and better, at least he can clearly feel that his physical condition is getting better!

ps:

If I suddenly want to say something, I won’t start a single chapter and just say it directly.

5000 collected, thank God, thank earth, thank fate for allowing us to meet here...Three alliance leaders, 12 thousand rewards, plus recommendation votes, it is still less than 1000 chapters. The number of recommendation votes has been updated on the first day of release, and the total has reached 8

It’s already 10,000 words. I guess there will still be 50,000 or 60,000 recommendation votes before it is put on the shelves. I can add another 10,000 words by then. If I have the spare capacity, I will try to see if I can add more if all the scattered rewards are collected to reach 10,000 coins.

Please update, Xiaofeng will work hard to write more.

The latest prediction is that it will be released in the middle of next month. I guess it will be highly recommended at the beginning of next month. It will be released as soon as it is released. The cumulative addition will exceed the 20,000 words originally planned to be updated on the first day of release. The update on the first day of release will start with 100,000 words.

, Dare to say it when there are only 16,000 words left in the manuscript, Xiaofeng will dare to update so much when the time comes!

From now on, I have to work hard every day to write and save the articles for publication. Don’t rush in updating during the public period. Take your time. Since the number of words on the shelves has been reduced, you can’t update too much every day, otherwise you won’t be able to keep up with the recommended rhythm, Xiao Feng

This book is already 70,000 words long, and it has not been recommended by any good people yet. It can even be considered as not recommended at all, so there is no need to rush. It will show off its glory as soon as it is put on the shelves.

I’m really grateful to my friends for their tolerance. Xiaofeng plans to write two more player articles including this I Don’t Want to Be the Boss. The total estimated word count is 4 million to 12 million words, so don’t be anxious. If the results are decent, two books will be written.

The total is about 12 million words. If the results are... it will probably be 4 million words. In terms of content, there will be a lot of interesting things in a few days.
Chapter completed!
