the rest, only noise

Chapter 659 Proud Boy

As in previous years, Louis will return to China in August.

This time he went back basically for the fourth phase of Young Eagle.

This summer, Yu Tiancan, who just finished his freshman season at Wake Forest University, was called up by the national team again.

Yu Tiancan represented the national team in the Seoul Olympics last year, and in his freshman season with the Devil Deacons, he averaged 13 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

1989 was a small year in the draft. If Yu Tiancan chose to participate in the draft, with his talent, he would be enough to secure the top five picks and squeeze out one of the top three picks.

But Yu Tiancan decided to stay in the school.

Yu Tiancan opened a door, and also opened up the reputation of Luyuan.

In addition to the Road Academy, the first basketball academy established by the NBA overseas, namely the NBA Chinese Basketball Academy, has also begun to enroll students on a large scale.

With Yu Tiancan's signature, coupled with several years of foundation building, the momentum of the Road Academy far surpassed that of the NBA Academy.

This year, the number of students in the fourth phase of the road school in the United States reached 24.

And for the first time a girl appeared.

How to arrange these 24 people made Louis very troubled. Although he has a wide network, it is not so easy to arrange 24 people to enroll at once.

As the students of the Road School gradually become famous, more and more people will come here attracted by their reputation.

Although it was difficult, Louis was willing.

Even if only a small part of these children become talents, it will completely change the strength of the national basketball team.

Yu Tiancan is an obvious example. Because of him, the national team did not even allow Song Tao, who was injured, to join the training team for the 1989 Capital Asian Championships.

Louis did not stay to watch the Asian Championships.

Because the first competition had to wait until September 9th, he couldn’t wait until that day, so he set off to return to the United States at the end of August, contacted the language school, and paved the way for the children who are coming to the fourth term in the United States.

In the month that Louis left, basically nothing major happened.

Next summer, the NBA and CBS broadcast contract will end.

Everyone in the circle knows that there is a high probability that CBS will not renew its contract with the NBA.

Because they spent $10.6 billion to win the MLB broadcast contract, and then spent $5.43 million to get the broadcast contract for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics.

Today's NBA is no longer like it was in the 80s, where it can be done with $4 million in four years.

The NBA's next television deal is expected to be no less than $5.5 million.

This is enough to prove the success of the league in the 80s. The rise of the Celtics and Knicks brought the brightest stars and the most exciting ball market.

The bigger the broadcast contract, the bigger the salary cap, and the bigger the salary cap, the more star players are paid.

Back in New York, Louis took a day off and started running around for the children of the fourth batch of Eagle Eagles.

It is not difficult to decide on a language school, but it is quite difficult to find a suitable high school for them.

24 children certainly cannot be arranged in one school like in the first phase of Young Eagles.

Louis decided to form a group of 6 and let them form a team freely.

Later he found out that this was a bit of a problem, because the biggest difference in the fourth period of the Young Eagles was that there were three girls.

So, Louie made a fine-tuning.

There are still four groups, but 21 boys are divided into groups of 7, and the remaining 3 girls form their own group.

After that, it was basically arranged for them to meet with the old students from the past, and even the few who were already in the university were called back by Louis.

Louis asked the old students to leave their contact information for the new ones. After all, no matter how powerful he was, he would sometimes be too busy to get away. At this time, he had to find these seniors who had settled down in the United States.

Let these children get to know each other first, and then there is a one-year language school course. During this period, they will show themselves through friendly matches with various high school basketball teams. After all, the fact that Louis selects talented young people from China to study in the United States has spread in the New York high school basketball circle. In addition, there are Yu Tiancan, Hu Weidong, and Liu Yuqing, who ranks the third high school student in New York State.

Things are going better than Louie.

When Louis asked people to let the wind out, before he could come by himself, coaches from prestigious high schools in New York State called his home one after another to inquire about the situation.

In those few days, Louis was busier than the receptionist in the sales department of the Blue Palace.

Before the Knicks’ preseason training camp, Louis and Abraham Lincoln High School, Mount Vernon High School, St. John’s Preparatory Academy, Christian Brothers Academy, DeWitt Clinton High School… close to 10 top New York high school coaches came to the language school where the children of the fourth batch of Eagles attended to watch a match.

Gordon Brown, a coach at Christian Brothers College, complained: "Lou, you didn't give me any of those ten kids last year."

The children of the third period of Young Eagles will officially enter school two months later.

Deng Shimo said that this is the golden generation. As a result, they really caused a looting in the New York high school basketball circle, but none of them wanted to go to a high school with a Christian name.

"This time you will definitely get a few good players." Louie said with certainty.

The fourth period of Young Eagles did not produce a batch of top seedlings with bright career prospects like the third period of Young Eagles.

Among the 24 people, there are also top seedlings, but there are talented children like Hu Weidong, Yu Tiancan, Liu Yuqing in the first stage and Xiao Laoban, Wu Qi, Chu Nan, and Du Shuai in the third stage, but overall, they are strong in depth.

There are 3-4 top ones, and the rest are outstanding ones visible to the naked eye. Although the talents are not top-notch, children of this age cannot draw conclusions, because no one can guarantee that none of the remaining children will have a genetic mutation like Yu Tiancan.

Even if they maintain their current level, they are also very competitive in high school basketball.

Mark Forrester, the coach of Lincoln High School, said: "I won't talk about those girls. I think at least 21 of the remaining 10 BOYs can play in D1 (NCAA Division I league)."

In the future that Louie has seen, the American high school basketball world has ushered in great changes after 2010.Talented players know how to sell themselves better, plus various training camps, cups, invitational games, and social media, making them famous at a young age. After the NBA's grouping model has been proven to be feasible, the grouping of high school basketball without rules is even more amazing.

After the concentration of talents, it is very common for the first team of the top teams to all enter D1.

But before that?not common.

Because after 2010, not only the domestic talents in the United States were concentrated, but also Europe, Asia, and Africa began to send their own good seedlings to the United States, and the talent pool expanded unprecedentedly.

And before that, especially now, in 1989, even the top high school basketball team could not guarantee that all the players on the first team could get the D1 scholarship.

So Forrester said that at least 21 of the 10 boys in the fourth phase of the Young Eagles can enter D1, which is a very weighty evaluation.

In general high school basketball weak schools, players with D1 potential are the core.

After watching a test match, the high school coaches surrounded Louie.

Forrester is even more insidious. He keenly identified the top card in the fourth season of the Young Eagles-Lin Junwu, who is currently 15 and a half years old.

Although Lin Junwu is only 15 and a half years old, he is 1 meters tall and 88 meters long.

"Coach Lu, you know me well. I have a good way of raising Chinese children." As soon as Forrester said this, the coaches next to him couldn't help it.

Gordon Brown sneered: "I don't think it will be any different if Harold (Yu Tiancan), Hu and Liu play with us."

"That's far from it!" Forrester knew very well that with Lin Junwu, Lincoln High School would be able to successfully survive Liu Yuqing's labor pains after graduating next year. "Coach Lu's study abroad program was first launched in our school, and we have a solid foundation for cooperation. Besides, you force children to take religious classes, and these Chinese children don't like that!"

Brown was caught at the gate of his life all of a sudden, and he didn't know how to refute, so he muttered: "There is always a solution."

Alexander Shafer, the old coach of Jefferson High School, laughed: "I agree that Lincoln High School has more experience in training Chinese players, but we can train players like No. 42 (Lin Junwu) more smoothly."

Schaefer is 69 years old this year, and his Jefferson High School has been a strong school in New York for many years. Although Bob Cousy was trained decades ago, that was decades ago.

To make matters worse Jefferson High's campus is in Brooklyn.

Louie has been in New York for almost six years and has never set foot in Brooklyn.

Safety is his first consideration.

Jefferson High School is the only recruiter present today whose campus is located in Brooklyn. If he didn't value the other party's reputation, Louis would not invite Shaffer.

Now, seeing this group of people fighting for the children on the field whose oldest is no more than 16 years old and whose youngest is no more than 14 years old, he feels secretly refreshed.

This feeling of comfort was entirely given by those children, which made my uncle so proud.

"Lu, let's arrange for the kid to go to Lincoln High School?" Forrester prepared to act first.

"Why did you arrange it at Lincoln High School? Where is it going? Mark, are you too anxious?"

Several coaches accused Forrest by force.
