After Xu Yong announced this little thing, thunderous cheers erupted from the scene.
No matter how imaginative they are, no one could have imagined that Arizona State University would have four players with NBA prospects at once.
But this also explains why they were able to reach the semi-finals and even win the final championship.
Although there are not as many four- and five-star high school students as North Carolina, Arizona State's talent is actually not that bad.
Sufficient talent, tenacious will, and some unexpected off-field buffs finally contributed to this championship.
At this time, probably only the head coach Sandeck's expression was a little bitter.
Because four of the starting five were eliminated at once, the team's strength will plummet next season.
Although the championship signs have been displayed, the team's strength has declined too much. Just like Stanford University next door, recruiting people may not be easy.
Kuxex: When I woke up, I was already the boss of the team?
At this time, the scouts in the stands were also ready to take action.
The foursome of the Devils were previously predicted to be three lottery picks in the first round, and this championship is also a bonus for them.
Especially Xu Yong, he now looks like a character in a basketball manager game. There is a MOP hot logo in the upper left corner, and his pick is bullish.
After returning to the locker room after the award ceremony, Xu Yong took out his mobile phone and found that there were already a bunch of messages and phone calls.
"I knew you could definitely enter the NBA!" The latest person to send the message happened to be Cai Xiao.
When he saw it, he immediately remembered his experience before his rebirth.
Looking back now, Cai Xiao didn't know if he was frightened when he saw himself lying on the floor in the toilet.
He called Cai Xiao back, and the two chatted about the past in junior high school.
By the way, Cai Xiao also told him that he had not stopped training in the past two years even after entering college and was preparing to take up professional basketball.
Obviously, this was influenced by Xu Yong playing in the United States.
Xu Yong was also happy for the other party because he knew that Cai Xiao loved basketball.
Although there is no draft path in CUBA now, it will be very difficult to become a professional, but it is very meaningful for a person to work hard for something he loves once in his life.
After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but laugh.
In this life, he is not the only one who has changed.
Then, he thought a lot more.
Before his rebirth, Yao Ming was already the chairman of the Basketball Association, and he made the training of young players the focus of his work, sending talented young players overseas for training. Facts have proved that this is the right thing to do.
Because in the known world of the past, one or two top players have proven to be unable to drive a team. Only by improving the overall level can the team's overall strength be improved and better results achieved.
However, the domestic basketball training method is backward. Not to mention the players, even the coaches have many bastards. Such coaches have buried many good talents.
But it's still far away from that, but if his success can affect the people around him, then when he is selected, will it also allow more qualified people to send their children to the NCAA?
After all, he has blazed a trail that has never been traveled before.
Just like back then, there was Wang Zhizhi, the pioneer who explored the way, and then Yao Ming came later.
If that is the case, the rise of Chinese basketball may really be expected.
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone buzzed again. It was Yao Ming calling.
"It's not easy to get through your phone." As soon as he picked up the phone, Yao Ming burst into hearty laughter.
Yao Ming called and not only congratulated him, but also told him about his agent.
Now that you have announced your candidacy, the first step is to sign an agent.
Because finding a trainer, arranging trial training, signing endorsements, all these things are inseparable from the agent.
Yao Ming recommended several to Xu Yong, all of whom were well-known in the agent industry, including his own agent Bill Duffy, Jeff Schwartz, who had a good reputation, and David, who had the largest number of players. Falk and more.
Yao Ming's advice is very clear. The first agent should find a well-known agent because they are more professional in what they do.
And the agent can be changed, which will not affect future plans.
Xu Yong basically accepted this suggestion, and opened his eyes and initially selected Jeff Schwartz, who will be able to surpass Rich Paul in the future.
…
The next day, the Devils players flew back to Tempe.
When I got off the plane, there were a large number of fans at the airport to pick me up.
Even the mayor of Phoenix came.
Arizona's second championship, Phoenix's first basketball championship.
The impact on the local area was [sensational].
When they returned to Arizona State University, the school had arranged a series of celebration activities for them, starting with signing autographs and taking photos for fans on campus, to a championship parade in Tempe by car, a fan meeting on the stage, and a grand evening party. Celebration party.
Creating school history is a shameless thing.
At the party in the evening, the Devils players became the focus of the audience.
Especially the four people who are about to enter the NBA. Not only are they surrounded by beautiful women, but they are also hugging each other.
Xu Yong is no exception. His mentality towards women will also change in his next life.
Before, I had no time for leisure because of my struggle, but now, after playing for so many years, I can’t enjoy it anymore?
But it was just a test of his skills, there was no real fight, and he didn't want some illegitimate child to appear before he even entered the NBA.
And the ones that can set up the steering wheel for you at this time are usually older cars with older interiors and a problem with the driving environment.
After waiting at the party for a while, Xu Yong went outside to take a breath.
April is spring. At this time, many plants on campus are in bloom. Instead of the gloomy feeling of winter, they are full of fragrance.
Not long after he sat down, Harden also came out, but with a girl with a perky butt.
It seemed that he was preparing to end his single career on this beautiful night.
Ji, you are so beautiful that I can’t hold myself back.
And the girl I found here is really harden, and her unique taste has been revealed at this time.
"James, remember to bring an umbrella." Xu Yong reminded with a smile.
Harden understood instantly and nodded with a smile.
And not long after, Ayers and Cooksix also came out one after another, and they all brought girls with them, especially the guy Ayres actually brought two with him.
I never expected that such a mature and steady guy would be the most playful in the team.
But one after another, spring is really here and everything is coming back to life...
Sandek also came out, and of course there was no girl beside him.
He also came out for some air.
He was a little surprised when he saw Xu Yong was there, and then sat next to Xu Yong.
The two chatted for a while, and then unconsciously talked about enrollment.
Xu Yong can still feel Sandek's sadness.
In fact, after winning the championship this time, it would have been a good choice for DeRozan to stay and continue playing for another year.
Because this season he is only the team's third choice. When his core statistics and strength improve next season, and next year is not a big year, he has a chance to hit the top five or even the top three picks.
However, DeRozan participated in the draft early due to family reasons, and it will be difficult for the Devils to recruit people next season.
Xu Yong recommended a person to Sandek, a person who guaranteed the team's lower limit.
This person was a junior college student two years ago. He was promoted to Marquette University last year and played on the bench. He didn't have many opportunities.
If you can promise to start and be given status in the team, it will not be difficult to recruit him.
Although doing so requires a year of coaching, that person will continue to improve even if he does not play.
"What's his name?" Xu Yong's way of introduction made Sandeck curious. There was such a strange man in the NCAA.
"Jimmy Butler." Xu Yong said.
