30. Increased Training Intensity!
"Your situation does not meet the conditions for direct signing. Although the data will be recorded, you are not counted as a player who has played in the NBA. There are only two ways for a freshman to enter the NBA. One is to participate in the draft and be selected. The other is to participate in the draft and fail. Of course, Noah, I’m not sure if you can really participate in the draft, but we have to try.”
"It would be great if we can, Mr. Duffy, let's see if we can participate in the draft first, and it's not certain whether we can be selected. If I can't make it to the NBA in the end, I can't cooperate with you. "Sun Ce didn't make a specific promise, but he didn't refuse either.
"OK, let's stop here today. I'll go back and help you prepare to apply for the draft early. 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 cell phone numbers, Bill Duffy finally left Yao Ming's phone number and left.
He didn't press hard at every step, and wanted to make a good impression on Sun Ce.
But Yao Ming is mentioned after almost every sentence, playing the relationship card...
Not to mention, even if Sun Ce knew that the famous manager was best at playing the relationship card, he still had a good first impression of Bill Duffy.
Sun Ce really almost agreed to sign the contract directly, but he knew that agreeing now may be very different from agreeing after entering the NBA.
Signing now, it seems that everything can be done with the help of Bill Duffy. There is a feeling that without Bill Duffy, you can't enter the NBA.
But after actually entering the NBA and signing a contract, although the process may be the same, the psychological aspect will be very different.
This was already a favor owed to Yao Ming, whom he didn't know yet. Sun Ce didn't want to owe Bill Duffy any more favors, at least he had to be in a balanced state when cooperating in the future.
But Sun Ce really didn't expect that he could still participate in the draft!
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step onto the draft stage at Madison Square Garden is something basketball players don't want to give up, and Sun Ce has also experienced it.
And being selected, even in the second round, means that there is a possibility of signing a guarantee contract!

On the afternoon of April 25, 2009, less than two days before the deadline for early draft applications, NBA Vice President Adam Silva was looking at the status of this year's early draft applications.
The deadline for registration is two months before the draft. This year's draft is confirmed to be on June 27th, which means the deadline for registration is April 27th.
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's early draft draft system was stipulated during the labor negotiations in the summer of 2005. The age limit for participating in the draft is 19 years old, and high school students are restricted to participate in the draft.
However, the 19-year-old age limit is relatively broad. As long as you are 19 years old in the year of the draft and have graduated from high school for at least one year, you can participate in the draft. All year college is eligible for the draft.
There are even fewer restrictions on overseas players, because except for the United States, basketball players from most countries enter the youth team at the age of junior high school, and those who are talented enough to enter the NBA, most of them start playing in leagues around the world at the age of sixteen or seventeen. first-team play.
Like the future Antetokounmpo, he was only 18 years and seven months old when he participated in the draft in 2013, and he 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, and college students will definitely pass the applications, so Adam Silva is just going to look at the names of the draft applicants in advance, and the degree of interest is not great.
Ordinary draft applications are bound to be passed, such as applications for overseas players and American college graduates under the age of 22.
It will definitely pass, as long as they have not played in the NBA. Of course, more players who are 22 years old and above are automatically eligible for selection.
Adam Silva was curious about the rejection of the draft application that had not occurred in three years after the system of early application for the draft. Suddenly a name appeared on the rejected list.
Clicking on the rejected list, Adam Silva saw the name, remembered 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 all teams..."
Seeing the official email from the NBA, Sun Ce jumped up excitedly.
After waiting for three days, on April 27th, when the application deadline for the early draft was reached, I finally received an email reply from the NBA official that the application was approved.
After being excited, Sun Ce guessed that the reason for passing the draft application might have something to do with his identity.
Chinese defender!
Sun Ce is very grateful that he has Chinese blood on his body.
It's a great feeling to be in the draft.
Immediately called Bill Duffy and thanked him for his help.
But this time Bill Duffy didn't mention the signing. He asked Sun Ce to continue training hard. After the draft lottery, he would help Sun Ce contact some suitable teams for trial training.
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 fiercely in the first round with the Trail Blazers, Sun Ce did not bother Yao Ming, and congratulated Yao Ming after the first round was over. Currently, the Rockets have the advantage , and according to Sun Ce's memory, the Rockets can pass the first round this year. In the second round, Sun Ce has something to remind Yao Ming.
Whether you can succeed or not, you have to do your part anyway!
After notifying his friend John about this incident, Sun Ce continued to devote himself to training, and now he is more motivated!
The training of the essence blood strengthening card has been carried out for half a month, and it can be regarded as a habit. In terms of basketball skills training, Sun Ce began to increase the training intensity.
The content of the training is very simple, just three items, two of which are coaches, and these two items are ball control and layup.
When he got up in the morning for a morning run, Sun Ce started to take the ball out and dribble while running in the morning.
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 drills are added after daily training.
Mainly layups and ball handling, these two are what Sun Ce is good at. Of course, it is only relative to his personal skills. C-level ball handling and C+ level layups... are actually not very good.
But this is the ability he has shown in the only NBA game he played, so naturally he has to work hard.
In this way, on the basis of eliminating external interference, perseverance and perseverance, and stronger motivation, seeing the progress of the training task of the blood essence strengthening card increase from (0/30) day by day, the training effect of Sun Ce It's getting better and better, at least he can clearly feel that his physical condition is getting better!

PS:
I suddenly want to say something, so I don’t open a single chapter and just say it.
5000 received, thank God thank you, thank fate for letting us meet here... Three lords, 12 rudder masters, plus recommendation tickets, there are still less than 1000 chapters. It's 10,000 words. It is estimated that there will be 50,000 to 60,000 recommendation votes before it goes on the shelves. At that time, there will be another 10,000 words.
The latest forecast is estimated to be on the shelves in the middle of next month. It is estimated that there will be a chance to be recommended at the beginning of next month. It will be on the shelves as soon as it is finished. The cumulative addition will be 20,000 words that were originally planned to be updated on the first day of the store, and the update will start with 100,000 words on the first day of the store. If you dare to say it when there are only 16,000 words in the manuscript, Xiaofeng will dare to update so much!
Next, I have to work hard every day to write and save manuscripts, and the outbreak broke out. Don’t worry about updating during the public period. Take your time. Since the number of words on the shelves is reduced, you can’t add too many words every day, or you won’t be able to keep up with the pace of recommendations. Xiaofeng This book is 70,000 words long, and it hasn't received any good recommendations, and it can basically be regarded as not recommended, so there is no need to rush, and it can show its glory after it is put on the shelves.
I really appreciate the tolerance of my friends. Xiaofeng plans to include this book. I don’t want to be the boss and I have to write two player essays. The total number of words is estimated to be 4 million to 12 million words, so don’t worry. The total is about 12 million words. If the results... it is estimated to be 4 million words. In terms of content, there will be a lot of interesting things in a few days.
Thank you friends for your collections, rewards, and recommended tickets. These are the best and best start of Xiaofeng's writing career, thank you!
