Junior Basketball says

Chapter 484 Testing the Waters

I have to say that Xue Yubing did a good job in the preliminary work. In addition, Xu Hao recruited many retired players who were interested in joining but did not make a final decision as coaches with his own name. His training camp was in early September. official opening.Different from other training camps, each session of Xu Hao’s training camp will last for one year, and basketball training will be carried out every weekend. The tuition fee can be said to be so cheap that it can be said to be explosive—it only costs 1200 yuan to participate in a session, and the unit is RMB.

This price has an absolute advantage over the training camps held by other domestic players.Although the total price may be almost the same, it must be known that Xu Hao's training camp lasts for a year, even if it is only a weekend, the accumulated time is extremely terrifying.Other training camps can last from a few weeks to a month, and it is not necessary to think about which of the two is more cost-effective.

As soon as the news was released, those children who were interested in basketball were ecstatic. Most of them have good family conditions. 1200 a year is not a lot of money, and the average is 100 yuan a month. The money is still affordable.Xu Hao's recruitment strategy directly led to hundreds of people coming on the day of registration, which surprised him immensely.

As a training camp whose expenses must be greater than its income, Xu Hao will definitely not take all these hundreds of children under his command. This will bring huge pressure to the training camp. Apart from anything else, the coaching team will not have enough manpower. .Under such circumstances, he could only forcefully reject some of the young players in order to improve the quality of the overall students as much as possible.

When it was heard that the screening was going to be carried out, the scene was full of grief. Some children who were not so talented but also loved basketball were about to cry. They basically came for Xu Hao's name. disuse?
Seeing that the registration site was about to get out of control, Xu Hao hurriedly asked the staff to find a megaphone. He wanted to say something to these lovely children. Even if it might hurt their hearts, he had to play it in advance. Vaccines do.

Seeing Xu Hao walking to the podium, looking like he was going to lecture everyone, the young players fell silent one after another.In their hearts, Xu Hao is synonymous with Huaxia basketball, and they are also their idols. Now that the idol seems to be speaking, it is better to keep quiet. This is the respect for the predecessors. They also want to know what Xu Hao has to say. .

Xu Hao looked at the group of childish children wearing various jerseys, sighed secretly, and said: "In this world, many countries have their professional leagues. If you count the semi-professional leagues, That is even more numerous. It seems that there are many people who can take the road of basketball, but if you compare the number of people participating in the basketball project, you will find that there are too few people who can become semi-professional or even professional players. Can make people despair!"

"I know that the vast majority of you have the dream of becoming a professional player in your heart, but you have to know that in order to become a professional player, hard work and talent are indispensable. Without talent, or without hard work, it is impossible Be a real star, which is why I plan to screen you guys before training camp officially starts."

"Of course, I'm very happy to see so many people signing up. This shows that China's basketball atmosphere is still very strong, but resources are limited and skills are not as good as people. You have to accept this fact. I understand that this is very difficult for you. It’s cruel, but that’s how competitive sports are, there’s no such thing as equal coverage, you’re stronger and more talented, and you’ll get more resources.”

"If you are eliminated, don't be sad. If you want to squeeze into the basketball circle, it is definitely not the only way to be a player. Trainers, agents, coaches, physical trainers, etc. are also the talents that Huaxia Basketball urgently needs. If you are not talented enough to become a professional player and want to develop in this area, you can consider these areas. This is also my little advice from a retired veteran. I also hope that you can contribute to Huaxia Basketball strength!"

After some physical tests and actual combat, Xu Hao finally selected only 30 people, which happened to be the number of the two NBA teams, and the number of players in each position was roughly the same.Xue Yubing on the side couldn't help laughing. She understood what Xu Hao wanted to do. Isn't this just to form two teams with the students during the training camp, so that they can play against each other?
After sending away those reluctant young players, Xu Hao didn’t talk nonsense, and asked the staff to bring over the exclusive jerseys, shorts and sneakers, and let the remaining 30 lucky ones change into them, and their basketball training started from the beginning. The day begins.

This group of students is basically concentrated in the middle school stage, and there are also a few elementary school students with outstanding talents, but Xu Hao has made it clear that only middle school students can compete for the opportunity to go to the United States, and those who have not graduated from elementary school will have to wait.

In the following year, Xu Hao would organize them to train every weekend. Regardless of physical fitness or technical tactics, they would always make them doubt their lives.However, Xu Hao knows that a slap in the face means a date. The monthly competition becomes the time for him to distribute rewards. As long as he can win, he can make any request within a reasonable range, including signed sneakers and game tickets. Everything is trivial, and this is generally the highest requirement of these young players.

After nearly a year of training, Xu Hao knew the situation of these 30 young students very well, and among them there were really a few good seedlings who could be recommended to Coach Evans.Long before the start of the NCAA this season, Xu Hao had already reached an agreement with Arizona State University in the name of the training camp. As long as the players he recommends can meet the requirements of the team, then Arizona State University will handle everything including passports and student status. As for whether to grant a scholarship or not, it depends on the player's ability and talent.At least for Xu Hao's sake, they won't be prejudiced against Huaxia players.

Xu Hao was undoubtedly relieved by this agreement. This is the biggest reliance for him to have the confidence to start a training camp. Looking at the whole country, even if Yao Ming opens a training camp, there may not be such a good channel. After all, Yao Ming has never played in the NCAA. .

Seeing that the first training camp is coming to an end, Xu Hao plans to talk to Coach Evans when to see if he can bring out the best players, and think about the other little guys who are less talented. Find a way!After all, Xu Hao has been in the NBA for so many years and has many close friends. Wouldn't it be a sure thing to contact their alma mater through these current or retired players?He believes that in today's internationalized world, Chinese players will have opportunities as long as they are talented.
