Chapter 31 Main task, NBA draft!

Five days later, Yang Di received a new main task.

"NBA draft."

"The NBA draft is a fast track to guarantee young players to enter the NBA. The potential of the host has attracted the attention of some NBA teams. They participated in the NBA draft in June this year and won the ranking. Rewards for completing the task: start a brilliant career in the NBA, 500 villain points Value, task failure penalty: 10 points of indeterminate attributes will be deducted. When the task is completed, the NBA draft will end."

Yang Di was slightly surprised that this task was announced so soon.

He now has a simple understanding of the operation of the system. He knows that even the main task is related to his growth in reality. The main task of the NBA draft has already been expected in his heart, but it is only May. There are still nearly two months left for this mission, which gave him full preparations.

On the other hand, it also proves that this task is not small.

This year's NBA draft is recognized as a big draft year. Now that the NCAA tournament is over, Syracuse University's MOP and super small forward Carmelo Anthony publicly announced that he will participate in this year's NBA draft.In addition, LeBron James from St. Mary's High School in Ohio announced his willingness to give up college to continue his studies and participate in the NBA draft. Is he an excellent point guard?

The scouts of various teams in the NBA also mostly focus on such superstar rookies.

Thursday, November 5.

The 13 NBA teams that failed to make it to the playoffs gathered at Madison Square Garden in New York for the draft lottery ceremony, which brought together the eyes of NBA club owners and fans from all over the world.

In total, the NBA officially announced that there are 163 players participating in the NBA draft, a total of 117 high school/university/graduate players, and 46 international players.

Yang Di is naturally among them, and his information belongs to the least batch of players participating in the draft.

His definition is that he belongs to "foreign players" but is not an international player. He belongs to the rare group of basketball players aged 18-22 who participate in the NBA draft on their own. "In principle, it is allowed to sign up for the draft, reflecting the enlightened nature of the NBA, but in reality, 90.00% of such anonymous players will not be selected at [-]%.

And like international players, such as Yao Ming.They all follow the formal process, are supported by agents and the National Sports Commission of their country, have certain strengths, and sign up after going through the assessment.

One side is Gen Zhengmiaohong, and the other side is completely wild.

The lottery conference opened with Stern's vicissitudes of life and steady voice. The 13 teams, or owners, or star players, or relatives of the owners, or team management stepped up to the front stage and drew numbers in turn.

The Cavaliers and Nuggets, both with a record of 17 wins and 65 losses in the regular season, have the same chance of winning the No. The bottom team in the regular season with the No. 22.5 pick.

Then the Pistons won the second pick, and the Pistons were ecstatic. You know, they can be the team with the first regular season record in the NBA East this year! .This draft pick was obtained by the Pistons from the Grizzlies in Thorpe's trade six years ago. As a result, Thorpe failed to play a big role and was traded to the Wizards after playing in the Grizzlies for less than half a season. The team was so heartbroken that he vomited blood.

Then came the Nuggets who won the lottery...

……

Night, California, Los Angeles.

Cai Nan is a reporter for the international department and the basketball department of "China Sports Daily". Assistant level, senior Su Qun, a basketball reporter who is also based in the United States, is the second place and goal he has been striving for.

The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the focus of the basketball department's work is concentrated on the teams that are fighting each other in the east and west.He has little qualifications, so he is naturally not allowed to go to important reports. The line he is assigned to is about the recent NBA draft.

After the lottery was over, Cai Nan took a serious look at the list of players participating in this year's draft, lit a cigarette, and searched for the so-called news.

Suddenly, a player's name and nationality came into view.

"YANGDI, a Chinese player?"

His heart suddenly beat violently...

"There is another Chinese player participating in the NBA draft besides Xue Yuyang? Who is this person? How did he participate in the NBA draft?"

Yao Ming completed an excellent rookie season with the Rockets. The NBA has greatly improved the game of yellow people playing basketball, and the attention paid to Asian players is also increasing day by day.For example, Xue Yuyang, the NBA has already reported on him in many ways when he was under 22 years old, and many teams have expressed their interest in Xue Yuyang.But this Yang Di, never heard of it before?

Cai Nan quickly logged on to the official NBA website, looking for effective information on the constantly flipping computer screen.

"Official data Yang Di (Chinese name), aged on June 1984, 6, 28 meters tall, 2 pounds in weight, serves as a power forward, game experience: none."

Cai Nan was in a mess for a moment. What does "none" in the game experience mean?Amateur?Could it be that today is April Fool's Day, someone was joking with him, right?

His fingers tapped on the keyboard quickly, and there was no information about Yang Di on the Internet at all, as if this person appeared out of thin air.

"It's unbelievable that something like this still exists."

Cai Nan was amazed, but at the same time, the thought of the young man gave him an idea, that is, he wanted to learn more about this mysterious Chinese player and see what was going on.

He used his account on the official website, and then posted a post on the forum, "Please ask for the information of this year's Chinese draft player Yang Di!"

A reply popped up immediately below: "What are you talking about, man."

"I have information on the Chinese "Xue", do you need it?"

Cai Nan posted this post with the mentality of giving it a try. Few people responded to him. He was quickly topped by various video highlights and exclusive analysis reports of "James" and "TJ-Ford" in the draft section. I went later, but when he was disappointed, a netizen actually replied to him seriously.

"I know some information about this Yang Di." A netizen named "Grassland Music" replied him.

"That's really great, buddy, can you add a friend to chat with!" Cai Nan typed quickly on the keyboard, feeling nervous and apprehensive.

"No problem." The other party was very forthright.

The two had a private chat using their accounts.

"Grassland Music" said: "I have played with Yang Di before, he is an unimaginable big man, he is full of energy on the court, and he is always passionate."

"You played with him? You're a basketball player too?"

"Yes, but I'm an amateur street athlete. Unlike Dick Young, he is young, talented and has great potential."

Cai Nan sighed, a little disappointed, he didn't expect that Yang Di was really an amateur player.If there is no regular game experience, this may be very disadvantageous in the career path.

"Grassland Music" became more and more excited, "He is very good at grabbing rebounds, especially offensive rebounds. He has amazing strength and is like a beast on the court. I like to be teammates with him. At that time, he was our Madison. Star players, led us to win a lot of games."

"Madison? The capital of Wisconsin?"

"Yes, but later I heard that he went to Chicago. We rarely saw each other at that time, but I also heard that he became an invincible player in Chicago's second-tier league."

"Level [-]? Is that a regular professional game?"

"Dude, I'm afraid not. Although the second-level league is a bit more advanced than our street games, it is still a loose, amateur league in the final analysis. The level of players is uneven. It is not comparable to the regular professional basketball league."

"Grassland Music" typed extremely fast: "But then he is also extremely good. I guess you are a scout for a certain NBA team. You should go to watch his game live, and you will understand what I said tomorrow. He's a game changer on the court and he has a unique vibe."

Cai Nan was amused, it turned out that this netizen regarded himself as an NBA scout, but having said that, it was not easy for Yang Di to have such a supportive friend.

He probably had the outline of the draft in his mind - "Born out of nowhere, street kid Yang Di's NBA dream journey".

Cai Nan shook his head, feeling a little pity in his heart. Up to now, no media has paid attention to this player. I am afraid that the probability of him being selected will not be very high. If it is not for his Chinese nationality, and he has deliberately searched for his information If so, I'm afraid this kind of player is the legendary soy sauce party, but now it's good to help him brag, which can be regarded as an exclusive report, and there are also news points about this year's draft.

But he didn't know that because of this manuscript, his whole life changed drastically.
