Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

After drinking a glass of wine, everyone started chatting.

Someone asked how Drew II and Joshua Smith are preparing for the draft.

The two looked at each other with a somewhat bitter expression. Drew II said: "During this period, I plan to participate in trial training with a few more teams, as well as a joint trial training for rookies." After saying that, he looked at Smith and said, "About Shu Ya, you will also go to the joint trial, right?"

"Well, I'll definitely go," Smith replied.

After that, no one asked about the draft again.

Because everyone understood from Drew II's answer that their draft prospects were not optimistic, so they had to actively participate in the team's trial training to try their luck. There is also a rookie joint trial, which is officially organized by the NBA, but some players will not participate.

For example, some popular draft picks will not participate in joint trials because they are not worried about losing the draft. Instead, they will participate in trials with some teams in a targeted manner.

After hearing what he said, everyone understood.

Lamb grinned and said with a gloating smile: "You really deserve it."

Zhuang Yu couldn't help but secretly thought, "God will bring about reincarnation." When Muhammad betrayed the team, the school considered the negative impact and did not expose it. However, Muhammad still failed to escape the fate of being "disgraced".

It is actually very common for players to change their age.

For example, many Chinese players have changed their age in order to compete in the World Youth Championship, U16, U17, and U18 games.

If an 18-year-old player changes his age to 17 and then plays in U17 games, he will definitely take advantage.

In fact, China is not the only one who does this. Youth teams in some other countries also do this, which is not surprising.

It's just that at certain times, things are different.

Such as Muhammad.

A 19-year-old freshman player and a 20-year-old freshman player may look like they are both freshmen players, but if they participate in the draft, they are not the same thing at all.

Some players played very well in the NCAA, but failed to participate in the draft, such as Jeremy Lin. In addition to lack of physical talent, too old is also an important factor.

Everyone knows that the younger a player is when he enters the NBA, the higher his potential will be, because the younger he is, his skills have not yet been finalized, and his body even has room to grow. After entering the NBA, he will grow a few centimeters taller. Transforming from a thin bamboo pole to a muscular man... This kind of thing is not uncommon, but only if you are young.

A 23-year-old player's future is full of unlimited possibilities, but for a -year-old player who graduates from college, his future is basically set.

Of course, Muhammad did not change his age from 23 to 19, he just changed his age by one year.

However, his behavior is taboo and will make NBA teams feel fooled and deceived. Even based on his true age, Muhammad is still talented, but in the eyes of many teams, his impression points have been greatly reduced.

"Hey, Muhammad is in trouble now."

"He actually changed his age. I thought he, the top high school student in the United States, was so talented. It turned out that it was because of his age, haha..."

The crowd burst into laughter.

At this time, Drew II said again: "When the age change came out, Muhammad's previous efforts for the draft were all in vain. But even if the age is changed, his talent is still outstanding and he will definitely not be selected. "

Zhuang Yu now also has a good understanding of the NBA draft, and couldn't help but laugh: "Although I won't lose the draft, my draft pick will definitely drop a lot."

Drew II also smiled: "That's for sure."

At first, Muhammad's draft pick was predicted to be in the lottery, possibly with the 10th to 14th picks in the first round. However, with a series of events that followed, his draft pick declined, and he was predicted to be in the first round. Picks 16-20.

But now, it would be good to get into the first round.

This is definitely a huge blow to Muhammad. His draft pick will plummet, and even if he is successfully selected and enters the NBA, he will inevitably be criticized.

Afterwards, everyone drank and chatted, and time passed quickly.

After finishing the meal, everyone was a little tipsy.

The teammates hugged each other, maybe because the sand of time blew into their eyes, a group of old men had red eyes one after another...

......

The next day, Zhuang Yu still got up early.

He didn't drink much last night, so it didn't have much impact. Anderson opened his eyes drowsily, struggled internally, and finally got up.

The two came to the training arena and repeated their daily routine.

Lamb also came in the middle and brought news to the two. Muhammad announced on his social media that he would withdraw from this year's NBA draft. It was obviously affected by the "age change" incident. Instead of reluctantly continuing, it would be better to advance. quit.

Zhuang Yu just laughed it off.

He doesn't care what happens to Muhammad. Even if Muhammad withdraws from the draft, he will never return to UCLA.

(I didn’t make it up that Muhammad changed his age. It’s true.)
