Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 87
"Ye! Ye! Get up quickly! We will pack up our things and go to the restaurant on the first floor to meet up. We are going back after breakfast!"

Half asleep and half awake, Ye Feng raised his middle finger towards the source of the voice.After winning the championship last night, everyone had a great time. Although they didn't spray champagne against each other like in the NBA finals, and even drenched their teammates and coaches, but everyone was a young man with a lot of blood. They made a fuss with their companions and celebrated until two o'clock in the morning before going back to their rooms to sleep.However, the excitement of winning the championship can't be suppressed in a short time. At least half of the team couldn't fall asleep within half an hour, which caused Ye Feng to fall asleep very rarely.

As a result, Ye Feng met the "magic voice penetrating the brain" early in the morning, and Ye Feng, who was not angry at all, gave the "perpetrator" the middle finger in a daze.Lu Fu in the same room was not much better, he only woke up a few minutes earlier than Ye Feng, but he was still in a state of not waking up at all.It wasn't Westbrook who was in charge of waking everyone up. This guy made more noise than anyone else last night. Holland didn't believe that he could wake up his teammates on time in the morning, so this task was handed over to assistant coach Blake.Ye Feng rubbed his eyes only to see the helpless assistant coach standing in front of the bed, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and quickly got up to wash.

Black was in a good mood, so he ignored Ye Feng's middle finger while he was half asleep, and after a few words of advice, he left to wake up the other players.Seeing that Love was still occupying the bathroom, Ye Feng dressed slowly and tidied up everything meticulously.Seeing the MOP trophy on the bedside table, Ye Feng grinned and put it away.

Due to his outstanding performance in the semi-finals and finals, Ye Feng successfully became the most outstanding player in the NCAA semi-finals this season. His teammates didn't feel any jealousy, they just yelled Ye Feng to treat him to dinner at the first time.Such a good atmosphere is due to Ye Feng's strong strength and gentle attitude. If it is replaced by a stinky guy with eyes above the top, the teammates may still have some complaints about this trophy.

After both of them finished washing, they quickly took the luggage and took the elevator down to the first floor.As soon as he walked to the entrance of the restaurant, Ye Feng heard a huge noise coming from inside. No need to ask, it was his teammates who started all kinds of bragging while having breakfast, and Westbrook was the loudest.Ye Feng smiled and shook his head, walked in with Lu Fu, took some food, found a seat and sat down.The sharp-eyed Westbrook had already seen the two of them, so he turned the conversation to Ye Feng and shouted, "Ye, you did a great job last night. By the way, did you sleep with your MOP trophy all night?" There was a burst of laughter at his words.

Ye Feng knew that Westbrook had no malicious intentions, he was such a person himself, but this did not prevent Ye Feng from using words to fight back.He smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay if I sleep with the trophy in my arms, but you, you were so excited that you slept with Darren in your arms last night, right?" Everyone laughed even louder. It's really dirty, because Westbrook and his substitute Darren Collison were assigned the same room this time, but Ye Feng made it seem like Westbrook was bent.Westbrook didn't expect Ye Feng to say such a sentence, so he could only give him two supercilious eyes in return.

In fact, the time is not so tight, the season is over for them, let alone a championship.But everyone still seized the time to wipe out the food on their plates, and then neatly lined up at the hotel entrance to board the bus.As soon as Ye Feng got in the car, he found a comfortable position and prepared to continue to catch up on sleep, but when he started to doze off, Enrique, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly turned around and asked curiously: "Ye, what are you doing?" Will you sign up for this year's draft?" He didn't deliberately lower his voice, so several players sitting nearby looked over with the same curiosity.

For rookies participating in the draft, the NBA management has its own set of regulations.In order to qualify for the draft, players must first reach the minimum age, that is, 19 years old. To be more precise, they must be 19 years old in the natural year when the draft is held.In addition, if you are an American player, you must also meet the condition of "having left high school for one year".The rule prevents players born at the end of the year from reaching the minimum draft age in their senior year of high school.As a Chinese studying in American high school and university, Ye Feng must also abide by this rule.

In addition to these two basic conditions, the NBA has other regulations. If a player wants to be eligible to participate, he must also meet any of the following conditions: 1. Has been enrolled in any four-year university or college in the United States. Graduated (or will graduate in the draft year), no longer eligible for NCAA competition; 2. Study (or have studied in) any four-year university or college in the United States, and have graduated (or will be) in the grade at the time of admission Graduated in the year of the draft), no longer eligible for NCAA competition; 3. He has attended high school in the United States, but did not go to college, and it has been four years since he graduated from high school (or graduated from the grade of high school); 4. In the year when the draft was held Before January 1, he had participated in games outside the NBA as a professional player; 1. Announced that he would participate in the draft early.

如果是国际球员的话，也有三个条件需要满足至少一条：1.在选秀大会举办的自然年内年满22周岁(超过22周岁且未能在22岁生日当年的选秀大会上被选中的国际球员将自动成为自由球员)；2.已经作为职业球员在美国参加过NBA之外的比赛；3.宣布自己要提前参选。

Players who have reached the minimum age and do not meet other conditions may declare their early participation if they want to qualify for the selection.Players who declare early can also choose to withdraw later.According to the provisions of the NBA labor agreement, the deadline for announcing early participation is 60 days before the draft, and the deadline for announcing withdrawal is 10 days before the conference. A player can only withdraw twice at most.In college basketball, players who declare early are automatically disqualified from the NCAA.If a non-graduate announces his withdrawal within 10 days after the end of the NBA joint trial training, and does not hire an agent, he will still be eligible for the NCAA; players can withdraw multiple times, there is no limit to the number of times; there is no university that announces early participation Players can also participate in the joint workout, but need to be invited by the NBA.

In fact, Ye Feng doesn't have much entanglement in his heart, because he has already won the honor that many NCAA players have not received after four years of hard work. There will no longer be strong teammates like Westbrook, Love and Mbah a Moute.And now with the blessings of the NCAA championship and the MOP of the Final Four, coupled with the reputation gained this season, at least a lottery pick can't escape, next year?Who knows what the situation will be next year!

Ye Feng already knew that Westbrook was going to enter the NBA this year. With his talent, he could have participated in the draft last year, but this obsessive-compulsive person wanted to win a championship for UCLA before leaving. This season happened to be his wish. It's not interesting anymore.As for Love, powerful insiders have always been a rare species in the NBA. Many teams will pick an insider with a big hand when they don't know what player to choose or what type of player is not lacking in the draft.Ye Feng knew that in terms of his relationship with Love, if he asked him to stay and play for one more year, Love would most likely agree, but this obviously delayed other people's careers.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng smiled and said to Enrique: "I don't know yet, but Russell and Kevin are very likely to participate in the draft, Richard is already a junior, I plan to see the situation first Then decide whether you want to participate in the draft." Enrique exaggeratedly shouted: "Ye, I beg you, go to the draft, if you stay in the team, I will have nothing to do next season. Please let me off, give me a chance to show my talent!" Ye Feng said angrily, "Gold shines everywhere, and haven't you noticed that I have grown taller? Don't worry, even if I stay, the next I will also play small forward during the season, not grabbing your starting second position."

Seeing a group of guys who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal retracted their heads, Lu Fu frowned and asked in a low voice: "Ye, you really don't want to fight for another year, do you?" Ye Feng smiled and asked: "Look!" Come to Kevin, you have your own ideas, why don’t you talk about them?” Loew said: “There are three reasons for many capable players to play for four years in college. In order to get a good pick, the second is to get a degree, and the third is to help the school win a championship. By the way, your family didn’t force you to get a diploma, right?”

Ye Feng waved his hand and said: "That doesn't matter, the big deal is that after I entered the NBA, I took time out to take the exam, which is what many famous people do." Love nodded and said: "Then you don't need to play for another year at all, now we have Even if you won the championship, you are still MOP, and high pick is not a problem. Besides, when the team selects rookies in the draft, age is also a very important indicator. As long as you are talented or capable, the younger the better, which means You still have potential to be tapped. In the end, maybe we will not play on the same team in the future. The Rookie Challenge at the All-Star Weekend is our last chance to fight side by side. In the game, you can only be an opponent."

Ye Feng laughed and said: "Your analysis is very good, but only the last point is the reason I value the most!"
