44. This Is the Real Draft Road

Training, training, and training, on June 12th, when the Lakers and the Magic scored 3-1 in the Finals, Sun Ce had already arrived in Minneapolis with Bill Duffy, waiting for the Timberwolves to Flop", waiting for the trial training.

More than 300 professional players from all over the world, NCAA senior graduates, rookies invited by the Timberwolves for trial training, and rookies who applied for early draft and applied for trial training by themselves came to this city, waiting for the Timberwolves to follow their preferences To divide the draft batches.

On the afternoon of the 12th, Sun Ce came to the center of gravity of the target to receive the "number plate". Looking at his number 191, Sun Ce felt like a lucky draw at the annual meeting.

Seeing more than 300 of the world's best young players in their 20s around him, Sun Ce felt a lot of pressure!

Competing with this group of people, the ratio of about 50 to 1 is even lower, because it is predicted that there will be a total of 50 people in the first round, leaving aside the top three picks Blake Griffin and James Harden , Hashim Thabeet all rejected the Timberwolves' invitation to try out, that is, the remaining more than 250 players compete for the chance to be selected in the second round.

This is much more difficult than in Sun Ce's previous life when he graduated from university and competed with a dozen people for the position of an artist!

If in Oakland and Los Angeles, it was just that the trial team didn't pay attention to it, then when it came to the Timberwolves trial training with more than 300 "concubines" who "turned their cards" casually, Sun Ce felt that he was completely ignored.

While training, he waited until June 16, the day after the Lakers beat the Magic 4-1 to win the away championship. Sun Ce was finally "flipped" and accepted the trial training of the Timberwolves before being sent back. up...

...

...

It is different from the imaginary being invited to participate in the confrontation competition, the imaginary trial training with my own characteristics being seen for another trial training, and the imaginary how much I will look forward to after the trial training is over....

Back in Phoenix, back home, lying on the sofa, Sun Ce felt only one... at a loss!

Just bewildered, utterly bewildered.

"What am I going to do next?"

Bill Duffy asked Sun Ce to take a good rest, train more, and prepare for the summer league that was selected or not selected, and will play in the summer league no matter what.

Because of the dual factors of Yao Ming and Nash, Bill Duffy took good care of Sun Ce during the trial training, but he still has three players with a high probability of being selected in the first round or even the top five. He needs him to be more suitable for him. Team communication.

The draft has never been that simple. Just like Sun Ce, maybe he can get more teams to try out, but Bill Duffy only arranged for teams that need point guards to give Sun Ce a tryout. It is very difficult to be selected. It is important, and it is more important to have the opportunity to stay after being selected.

There may be other teams that have taken a fancy to Sun Ce's Chinese player status and selected Sun Ce in advance, but that kind of accident may happen anyway, and because of Sun Yue's lessons learned, the Lakers did not get extra because of Sun Yue. In terms of economic income or attention, the Bucks did not have any particularly good market improvement because of Yi Jianlian. They only used Yi Jianlian for one year to trade Yi Jianlian to the Nets, so the probability of Sun Ce's upset is not high.

Before participating in the NBA so deeply, Sun Ce felt that everything was full of hope, and that everything had a good start.

But... after more than ten days of running around, what Sun Ce felt made him very at a loss.

dull!

Everything is bland!

There is no grandeur as imagined, everything is very ordinary.

From various feedbacks, Sun Ce learned that he is not bad, but he is not excellent either.

Bill Duffy thinks he has a chance to be selected, but also has a high probability of losing.

Sun Ce didn't like this feeling of being indifferent.

Or he is very bad,

Cut off these hopes, or he will be fine and can skyrocket...

But the reality is that like most of the rookies in the draft, he has a little chance, but he doesn't have the confidence to be absolutely selected.

Just when Sun Ce was about to fall into this low pressure, he suddenly realized: "Is this also a factor that hinders people with poor draft prospects?"

Think carefully!

Originally, the draft prospects were not good, but they were also affected by these external factors, resulting in a loss of motivation... Isn't this one of the reasons why most rookies with poor draft prospects are stepping away from their dreams?

Although strength is indeed king in the NBA, it is true that without strength, no amount of effort will be in vain, but those ultra-low picks, or even undrafted, can go against the trend from such a situation, and their strength or talent is sure. The main factor is their talent or strength that was buried or not discovered.

But they can counterattack in such an environment. Persistence must be the first. Even counterattacks that exceed talent or strength must have a very important factor. They persisted until their talents were discovered. It is the top priority!

"Training! Training! Training!"

Sun Ce got up quickly, opened the "Steve Nash Physical Training Method" in the learning template, and chose to start training.

Although he doesn't know what to do next, he believes that those who are underestimated but finally counterattacked have the same mentality as him at this period. They don't know what to do, and all they can do is to persevere!

Originally, Sun Ce just wanted to cure kidney deficiency, but in the process, he gradually fell in love with the feeling of playing basketball, and slowly fell in love with that feeling...

Up to now, he has stubbornly insisted on wanting to enter the NBA, even if he is hit by being ignored in the trial training, even if he encounters the mentality of more than 90% of the rookies who are not expected to be drafted. Want to stick with it.

He didn't even notice that his current persistence was completely different from his original idea of ​​going home and opening a hot pot restaurant if he couldn't play in the NBA.

Looking at the 10 training items formulated in the learning template, there are 6 items of strength training content and 4 items of aerobic training content, which are the best training after comprehensive consideration of his current physical condition, physical condition and other factors plan.

Having the "Humility Learning Template" makes Sun Ce feel great. Although he has also learned Nash's physical training method, this template is a systematic data analysis of Nash's physical training method. Maybe the system understands Sun Ce better than Sun Ce himself. Physical condition, formulate more suitable training content.

Decided to persevere, Sun Ce did not think so much, and devoted himself to training, just like Bill Duffy arranged, no matter whether he will be selected or not, he will definitely play in the summer league. There are still 20 days left in the summer league, and Sun Ce began to work hard to prepare for the summer league!
