king of defenders

Chapter 292 The Heaven will give great responsibility to the people

Meng Yun was startled. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was the case.

Most of the outstanding players in the history of the NBA came from the lottery area. There is no doubt that the special nature of the lottery area is reflected in this point. Some teams even deliberately sell bad for high draft picks.

而除了乐透区外，似乎低顺位高成就的球员大多都来自于次轮，比如丹尼斯-罗德曼（1986年2轮第27位顺位），马努-吉诺比利（1999年第2轮第28顺位）、吉尔伯特-阿里纳斯（2001年第二轮第二顺位）、马克-加索尔（2007年第2轮第18顺位）、迈克尔-里德（2000年第2轮第14顺位）、以赛亚-托马斯（2011年第2轮第30顺位）、德拉蒙德-格林（2012年第2轮第5顺位）.
Why is this?

Meng Yun looked at Zhang Mingji in shock. There are many people who know these players, and many people who know that they are "seriously underestimated", but there are very few people who summarize it like this and look for the reasons.

According to this theory, it is indeed inappropriate for Meng Yun to participate in the draft now.

As Zhang Mingji said, it is not easy for him to enter the lottery zone, it depends more on luck, but who can say for sure about luck?The draft is such an important thing, you say to fight for character?

If you can't make it to the lottery, with Meng Yun's current popularity and talent, he shouldn't fall into the second round. It's likely to be between the 15th and 30th picks in the first round.

In this way, Meng Yun is going to those playoff teams, no matter which team it is, it seems that it is difficult to get ahead.

What's more, given how cruel the NBA has always been to Chinese players, if they can't make it in a year or two, I'm afraid there is basically no hope for them to make it again later.

"Meng Yun." Zhang Mingji said again: "You are the most talented Chinese player I have seen in these years except for Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. If you go to a playoff team, it will definitely not be good for you. Good thing. I don't want your talent to be buried like this, it's really a pity."

Yao Ming frowned, and he also felt it was a pity, but what can be done?

Method?

By the way, there is no way.

Yao Ming frowned, and said, "Meng Yun, I admire you very much, and I agree with you to participate in the draft to save your Uncle Guo. But if you can save you, Uncle Guo, you don't need to participate in the draft this year? For example, I can temporarily I will lend you a little money so that Uncle Guo can have surgery, and I will pay it back when you participate in the draft next year and enter the NBA."

Hearing this proposal, Zhang Mingji's eyes lit up immediately. This is a good idea. 200 million is nothing to Yao Ming. Talent, as long as there are no accidents, entering the NBA is a certainty, and it will not be difficult to repay the 200 million in the future.

In this way, Meng Yun can save Uncle Guo, and he doesn't need to rush to participate in the draft. He can hone in the NCAA for one more year, which is the best of both worlds, how wonderful!

Meng Yun frowned.

Seeing Meng Yun hesitate, Yao Ming said again: "If you think you have taken advantage of me, you can repay me with interest at that time."

"That's right." Zhang Mingji chimed in, "Even if Dayao borrowed it from you, you can pay him back when the time comes, with more interest. Hehe, after all, he's still earning money."

At this moment, Meng Yun was really moved.

200 million is not a small amount, and Meng Yun met Yao Ming for the first time today. They were strangers before and had no friendship at all. Yao Ming was willing to lend him 200 million, which made Meng Yun unbelievable.

And in order not to burden him psychologically, the two of them comforted him like this. Actually, what does that little interest mean to Yao Ming?
But, can Meng Yun do this?

"Yao Ming, can I call you Brother Yao?" Meng Yun asked, seeing Yao Ming nodding, he continued: "Brother Yao, and Brother Zhang, I thank you all. However, I can't do that."

"Why?" Zhang Mingji called out.

Yao Ming did not lose his composure, and looked at Meng Yun calmly.

Meng Yundao: "I am very grateful for your kindness, but if possible, I still hope to rely on my efforts to save Uncle Guo. This is my responsibility."

"Meng Yun." Zhang Mingji tried to persuade him again, but was held back by Yao Ming, "Mingji, Meng Yun has Meng Yun's insistence. He made a choice, and we should respect his choice."

Zhang Mingji sighed, a little helpless.

Yao Ming changed the topic, and the three chatted for a while, Yao Ming got up to say goodbye, Meng Yun sent the two of them outside the hotel, and the two sides exchanged phone numbers.

Watching the two go away, Meng Yuncai turned around. Although he rejected Yao Ming's proposal and did not borrow money from him, he accepted the kindness of the two and will always remember it in his heart.

Coming out of the hotel, Yao Ming and Zhang Mingji sat in the car, the night outside the window was mottled and neon lights flickered.

Thinking of what happened just now, Zhang Mingji still had some regrets, and sighed: "I don't understand why Meng Yun rejected your proposal? This is the best of both worlds."

Yao Ming smiled and said, "I think Meng Yun did nothing wrong. Although it's a pity, I appreciate him even more now."

"How to say?" Zhang Mingji was surprised.

Yao Ming's smile faded away, and he said, "Benji, don't you wonder why after entering the 'March Madness', Meng Yun's performance is getting better and better, with an average of more than 30 points per game, almost approaching [-] points. So much better in the regular season? Just because he's talented and improving quickly, as simple as that?"

Zhang Mingji frowned, thoughtfully.

Yao Ming continued: "I guess it has something to do with his Uncle Guo's illness. According to him, he didn't know that Uncle Guo was ill until the end of the regular season. After the regular season ended, he returned to China. After a trip, he learned about his condition and made the decision to participate in the draft. I think that participating in the draft and using his own efforts to earn money to save Uncle Guo may be Meng Yun's "faith". This "faith" made him change. Become stronger and support him step by step to the present."

"You said, without this 'belief', could he have played so well and led the team to the 'Final Four'?" Yao Ming asked.

Zhang Mingji thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not."

"This is his 'belief', and it is the strength that supports him to work hard and grow stronger." Yao Ming sighed, "He is a man of pride. It is not a good thing for him. For a person like Meng Yun, pressure and responsibility will not make him weak, but will only make him stronger. Mingji, Meng Yun is different from others, I dare say, His future achievements will never be small."

Zhang Mingji looked at Yao Ming in astonishment. He didn't expect Yao Ming to have such a high opinion of Meng Yun. He thought for a while and laughed: "Heaven will send a great responsibility to everyone. If life is smooth and smooth, it will be easy." It may not be a good thing. You are right, take this as a kind of tempering for Meng Yun."
