The draft was turned into a trading ground in the final stages.Rookies who are drafted are like free agents and can be traded out at any time if needed.There were no major trades this year, only the Spurs traded guard Barbossa, who was drafted with the 28th pick in the first round, to the Suns for a future first-round pick.Wang Jun soon received a call from the Heat's management, and it was from manager Pat Riley.Riley is famous, known as the "Golden Operator", and as a head coach, he is the only person in NBA history to lead two different teams to more than 330 wins.The Heat followed Wade and watched the Golden Eagles vs Wolverines game.As a result, the uniform team also became interested in Wang Jun and watched the Wolverine vs Kentucky match.Riley had some expectations for Wang Jun's shooting "convulsion", and there was no good goal in the second round, so he was selected.Riley smiled and introduced himself: "Hello Wang Jun, I'm Pat Riley, the manager of the Heat. ”"Hello, Mr.
Riley."
Riley gets straight to the point."
I want to ask if you have time in July, and I hope you will play in the summer league for the Heat" "Of course there is. ”"Well, someone will contact your agent for the specific situation, be ready, play to your strengths, and you will have enough opportunities to perform.""
Thank you, I'll work hard."
Riley hung up.It didn't take long for Hughes to call.Wang Jun asked: "What do you think of joining the Heat, is it a good thing?"
"It's hard to say, the Heat team is rebuilding, only by letting Wade play point guard, you will get stable playing time, what is his level, I believe you know very well." ”Wang Jun sighed, he was not afraid of competition, but it felt terrible to be completely suppressed.Hughes couldn't give a definitive answer, because the Heat have plenty of salary space and can poach people in the free agency market in the summer, and their strength is undecided."
Play the summer league first, and only if you show your value, the team will give you a chance, and then it's a matter of luck."
Wang Junlian made a few phone calls.Chat with Abby and tell her family the good news, and then listen to Carman whining for a while.David also spoke to Wang Jun on the phone, and he thinks the Heat are a good choice, and Wang Jun can be proud to be selected in the fourth place in the second round.Pitchers have been generally undervalued this year, with Bryan Cook on the inside falling to the end of the first round, and was initially predicted to be in the Green House.David advised: "Wang, you must play well in the summer league, this is a game to check the newcomers, play good statistics to have a future, and strive to sign with the team in July." ”"I'm definitely going to do my best.But Wade is also competing, this guy will be bad if he doesn't pass the ball to me" Wang Jun felt that it was a hidden danger."
As a teammate, you have to try to have a good relationship with him, it's just a misunderstanding between you, I don't think there will be a problem.""
I hope so."
Wang Jun knew that David had good intentions.As for hatred, he really doesn't have that idea, the past is the past, and the two of them still can't remember it for a lifetime, but they don't know what Wade thinks, so he has no bottom in his heart.Everybody says summer league is key.If the summer league is not played well and the Heat are reluctant to use Wang Jun, he may not be able to get a guaranteed contract and will be cut by the team before January of next year.That has a bad effect on a player's entire career.Young players must avoid being cut, which means that the player has obvious flaws, either too bad in attack or too bad in defense.The next day, the national media overwhelmingly reported the results of the NBA draft.The most exposed is James, followed by Wade, because he created an upset.The media mentioned Wang Jun, and they all used "lucky Chinese" to describe him, analyzing that he was selected in the first few in the second round, largely because of the Chinese market.In terms of personal ability, he should not be ranked before Mo Williams, Pachulia and others.ESN Radio also talked about the young age of the current rookies.The top four players in this year's draft are all under the age of 20.Top-rounder James and top-rookie Milicic are both only 18 years old, Anthony and Bosh are both 19 years old, and all 29 rookies in the first round are all players born after 1980.Of all the 58 rookies, except for Hansen, who was selected in the eighth place in the second round, Hansen was born on April 15, 1978, and the other 57 rookies were all born in 80 years, and as many as 14 were under the age of 20.A large number of young rookies entered the NBA, which brought changes to the way the team operated, forcing the team to add assistant coaches.Now there are at least 3 assistant coaches on a team, and the Mavericks are the most exaggerated, with 9, and their job is more like a babysitter.In order to change the younger age of rookies, the NBA is now trying to reform the draft system, not allowing players under the age of 20 to participate in the NBA draft, a slogan that has been shouted for several years without concrete action.Ross Barkley, the "big mouth" of the radio, commented on the draft and laughed that the NBA was turning into a WBA.This year's rookie convention was nothing short of an international player showcase, with 21 international players selected and eight first-rounders, setting a record for NBA drafts.Unhappy with his ordination, Kapono joked in an interview: "I should have gone to Croatia to play after a year in college, then grow a beard and change my name to Vladimir Kaponovic, and that would be perfect."
I'm definitely going to be drafted in the first round. ”In short, the NBA's international player storm has risen, and Wang Jun is also one of them.Scouts recognize the strength of international players, and the gap between American basketball and world basketball is narrowing in international competitions.People are desperately chasing the next Nowitzki, the next Stojakovic, the next Yao Ming.Three days later, the schedule for the Summer League was announced.This year's Summer League is an offbeat, with four locations – Long Beach in California, Orlando in Florida, the Boston area and Salt Lake City.The tournament times are also separated: July 7-21 in Long Beach; Orlando July 9-13; Boston, July 14-21; Salt Lake City, July 19-27.China has three players competing in the Summer League, Wang Zhizhi is in the Long Beach area, and Bart, who just won the championship with the Spurs, will play in Salt Lake City.Wang Jun was notified to represent the Heat in the Long Beach Summer League, and Wade was also on the lineup.This year's Summer League was broadcast live on television for the first time thanks to the participation of champion LeBron James, and the Heat's first game against the Cavaliers was none other than that.With a week to go before the game, the media began to hype, attracting a lot of fans.For a rookie, even if he is the champion, it is very rare.What kind of surprise will James bring to fans, whether Wade is outstanding, or is it a parallel Chinese player Wang Jun and Wade who were selected by the high pick, from opponents to partners, can they cooperate well The alignment of Capono and Wang Jun is also regarded as one of the highlights, and someone broke the news that the Cavaliers had invited the two to try out, and finally chose Capo.On July 6, Wang Jun flew to Los Angeles and then took a bus to Long Beach to meet his Summer League teammates.During the game, the players will stay in a three-star hotel with a good salary.After three months, Wang Jun met Wade again
