Chapter 265 Meng Yun Wants to Participate in the Draft
"Native-born Chinese, high school league," Yao Ming muttered, with complicated emotions, couldn't help feeling, "We should pay more attention to the high school league."

"Yes." Zhang Mingji also sighed.

In the United States, although the high school league is not as good as the ncaa, its influence is not small. It has formed a good system for training players. Most nba players go through the high school league, college league, and then enter the nba process.

On the other hand, in China, there are high school leagues and college leagues, but obviously a good system has not been formed.

Generally good seedlings and outstanding players in China come from various local youth teams, or the second and third teams of the CBA, that is, the reserve team.

As for high school and college, very few players stand out and enter professional teams, let alone hit the nba.

The reason is still a system problem. High schools and universities don't pay enough attention to the training of athletes and lack resources, so it is difficult to produce excellent athletes.

Relatively speaking, the local youth teams, the second and third teams of professional teams, these are more professional and have more resources, so that all the better seedlings enter these teams.

This is also the reason why Yao Ming sighed. Due to various reasons in domestic basketball, it is too difficult to catch up with the United States. Although he has retired, his love for basketball is still deep, Chicheng is still full of Chinese basketball, and he really wants to do something. Things, and indeed some things have been done, and the acquisition of the Sharks Basketball Club is one of them.

However, this is not enough.

"Go ahead." Yao Ming shook his head, calmed down his emotions, and said, "I'm a little interested in this Meng Yun."

Zhang Mingji nodded and continued: "Meng Yun is an international student. He was only a substitute after entering Davidson College, but he has made rapid progress."

Zhang Mingji introduced Meng Yun's situation, including some specific statistics. After all, he is a professional. Since he is interested in Meng Yun, his understanding is far beyond that of ordinary fans.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Mingji paused, and concluded: "This is a good seedling. If there are no accidents, after another year of training in the NCAA, it is a certainty that he will enter the NBA, and he may even enter the first round. Big Yao, I'm sure that if he enters the NBA, he will definitely not be a marginal person."

"Yeah." Yao Ming nodded, his interest greatly increased, "Benji, from what you said, Meng Yun can enter the NBA. Then why are you so excited, do you still want to recruit him to the NBA?"

Zhang Mingji chuckled, and said: "Of course it's good to be able to recruit CBA, but I don't want to do it. He is a good seed, and it is better to play in NBA than in CBA. The reason why I am so excited is because I know you will definitely Interested in him. Whether he plays in the NBA or in the CBA, he will be an outstanding player in the future. After a few more years of experience, he will enter the national team in the future, which will definitely increase the strength of the national team."

Yao Ming's eyes lit up, and he fixedly looked at Zhang Mingji.

Zhang Mingji was annoyed, and said angrily, "What do you think I am doing? Although I am an overseas Chinese of American nationality, my blood is still flowing in my body. There is no doubt about it."

"Hehe, seeing how excited you are, I didn't say anything." Yao Ming waved his hand and said soothingly, "I know, I know everything. Thank you this time, and I will pay attention to Meng Yun. If there is a chance, I will go see See him, watch his game. Hope he can play better and better, we need this player so much."

The two chatted for a while, then left the teahouse.

In the evening, Yao Ming returned home and immediately searched for information about Meng Yun, and found some videos of Meng Yun's games, including Davidson College VS University of Iowa.

After reading them one by one, Yao Ming's eyes lit up, and he became more and more interested in Meng Yun. He sighed: "He is indeed a good seed. After one more year of honing in the NCAA, he can definitely enter the NBA."

A piece of news spread like wildfire——Meng Yun is going to participate in this year's NBA draft!

For a while, it caused a heated discussion. There was no rumor at all, but at this moment it was suddenly reported that Meng Yun was going to participate in the draft. It was hard to tell whether the news was true or false, but the fans were very interested and there were many discussions.

"What? Meng Yun is going to participate in the draft?" Kenny Jefferson couldn't help being shocked when he got the news. He was very optimistic about Meng Yun, but he also thought that it would be best for Meng Yun to hone in the NCAA for one more year. Yun, had communicated with Mason Carr, both Meng Yun himself and Mason Carr agreed with Jefferson's point of view.

But what is the news?

In a hurry, Jefferson immediately took out his mobile phone and called Meng Yun.

After a while, Jefferson put down the phone with a complicated expression on his face. He shook his head helplessly and dialed another number: "Coach Popovich, sorry to bother you. There is something very important. I don't know if you heard the news , Meng Yun is going to participate in this year's NBA draft. Well, yes, I've confirmed it, it's true."

After talking on the phone with Coach Popovich, Jefferson smiled wryly again: "It would be great if he could wait another year. It's really not a good choice to participate in the draft this year."

Thousands of miles away, San Antonio.

Popovich put down the phone, sighed, frowned, he thought for a while, and then called the Spurs general manager RC Buford: "RC, do you have time now? I want to talk to you A word about this year's draft. Well, I want to recommend someone to you"

Zhang Mingji rushed into Yao Ming's office in a hurry, and shouted, "Dayao, I just received the news that Meng Yun will participate in this year's NBA draft."

"What?" Yao Ming stood up and asked, "Are you sure?"

"It's not completely confirmed yet. After all, Meng Yun didn't admit it publicly." Zhang Mingji shook his head, and said again: "However, I learned from some sources that the credibility of this news is very high."

"Yesterday we were still saying that he should hone in the NCAA for one more year, but I didn't expect it." Yao Ming sighed, frowning, and said after a while: "Benji, I want to take some time to go to the United States."

Province H, City N.

Seeing someone If you slander Meng Yun, or satirize Meng Yun, she will immediately retaliate.

Suddenly, a post caught Guo Shuyao's attention, she clicked on it, she couldn't help being surprised, she was stunned.

"Shuyao." Guo Hai was surprised and called out, "What's wrong with you?"

"Dad." Guo Shuyao turned her head and said, "I just saw a post saying that there was news from the United States that Meng Yun would participate in this year's NBA draft."

Guo Hai's complexion changed, and he became angry instantly: "It's just nonsense. He only played in the NCAA for one season, and he got carried away with only a little achievement. It's such a simple thing to participate in the draft? No, this can't be fake news, right? Shuyao, give me the phone, I'll call and ask Meng Yun. Shuyao, why are you staring blankly, give me the phone."

"Dad, you don't need to ask." Guo Shuyao shook his head, tears slipped down quietly, and said: "I think the news is true, Meng Yun is not messing around, he is for you."

Guo Hai was shocked.
