Chapter 26 Rookie Training Camp

April NO.15 is still half a month away from the Chicago rookie training camp.

Bill Duffy came to Wake Forest University and made an appointment with Jiang Yan in a coffee shop.

After Jiang Yan found out, she came to the cafe alone.

However, the two didn't chat too much, and Bill Duffy directly showed Jiang Yan the contract he had already prepared.

Jiang Yan took the contract and read it one by one, and there was nothing that made him feel like a trap.

A 4% commission is charged for player contracts, and a 20% commission is charged for advertising endorsements hired by Bill Duffy.

This is a very normal economic person contract, neither more nor less.

Jiang Yan has learned about it in the past few days. With Bill Duffy's contacts and qualifications, this contract is obviously a preferential contract.

He didn't hesitate too much. With Bill Duffy's reputation and his service to his predecessor Yao Ming, Jiang Yan had no reason to refuse the cooperation of such a top manager in the NBA.

Bill Duffy was very happy watching Jiang Yan sign. After all, he knows exactly how much money the Chinese can make in the NBA.

With a Chinese NBA player like Jiang Yan, money will continue to come in like Yao Ming!

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

.........

A few days later, Williams also signed with Bill Duffy's company. As for Javi, he had already found an agent.

Jeff, who was traveling far away, felt a little regretful when he heard the news, because many of the agents he listed were famous NBA agents.

Jiang Yan didn't know this. There was only half a month before the Chicago training camp, and he and Williams had been training.

Go out early and return late every day.

During the period, he also went to find Alice, and found that Alice had disappeared mysteriously. He asked Alice's roommate, and she also said that Alice had moved away and dropped out of school!
Jiang Yan could only keep this matter in her heart.

.........

Half a month later, the three of Jiang Yan flew to Chicago by plane.

After staying at the hotel booked by Bill Duffy, Bill Duffy told him that he was already on the plane and would arrive in an hour.

At nine o'clock the next day, Duffy took Jiang Yan and Williams to Chicago rookie training camp ATTACK Athletic.

When I came here, there were already many players and staff in the arena.

And there were quite a few media reporters on the sidelines, filming with cameras.

Sina's Zhang Jing is also among them. Now because her interview with Jiang Yan is very successful, the headquarters sent her to the United States to follow up with Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan also saw Tony Roten, Terrence Ross, Jae Crowder and others who had played against him.

They were more or less accompanied by a middle-aged man, presumably that was their manager.

After Duffy brought Jiang Yan and the others to the arena, they disappeared, probably to meet someone!

At ten o'clock in the morning, a staff member wearing a sign in the arena came to the front of many people.

"Everyone, be quiet!" the man yelled.

After everyone calmed down, he continued to speak: "Next, we will conduct a static test! Click on the name and come to this side!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the area not far away.

"First, Andre Drummond, center!"

Then a tall black man stepped out of the crowd and walked towards the area.

In the eyes of everyone, first the height was measured, and then the arm span...

"Second, Andrew Nicholson, power forward!"

.........

"Tenth, Jiang Yan, point guard!"

Then Jiang Yan came to the surveying area and followed the surveyor's instructions step by step.

Williams is No.20, the same procedure and the same test.

Barefoot height: 194 feet [-] ([-]cm)

Height with shoes: 196 feet [-] ([-]cm)

Weight: 79 kg (slim)
Armspan: 215 feet [-] inches ([-]cm)

Standing in place and touching height: eight feet and eight inches (268cm)

Fat rate: 8.2% (high)
Palm width: 9 (inch)

Palm length: 9 (inch)

Jiang Yan's static data is not excellent among all players, it can only be regarded as medium, especially in terms of strength, she can only push 84 kg twice.

But for people of the yellow race, this statistic is already very good. Zhang Jing was very surprised. She had interviewed in CBA, but those CBA players did not have such statistic.

Especially those big hands and long arms.

"Okay, everyone has tested the static data. Next, we will conduct a dynamic data test on the court. Similarly, I will report a name, and you will stand up and we will test!"

……

"Fifth, Jiang Yan, point guard!"

Jiang Yan heard the words, stood up and came to the field.

The first is to test the jumping ability, first to jump upright on the spot, then to run up and sprint, and then to run back and forth in the restricted area.

After resting for 5 minutes, it was a 3/4 sprint.

In situ bounce height: 64cm
Run-up bounce height: 78cm
Running back and forth in the restricted area: 11 seconds 10
3/4 field sprint: 3.25s

All of Jiang Yan's statistics are better than those in Wake Forest, especially the height of three centimeters.

After finishing these, today's physical test is finished, but the morning is only the physical test, and the afternoon is the confrontation training.

After Jiang Yan and Williams finished the test, it was already 11:30 in the morning.

Duffy also appeared on the sidelines at this time, beckoning to Jiang Yan.

In fact, in the morning, he went to find the person in charge of the lineup for the afternoon match.

He wants Williams to be in the same team as Jiang Yan in the confrontation match, which can add points to Williams' performance.

To be honest, he is not very worried about Jiang Yan's draft market, the lottery is the guarantee.

And since Jiang Yan revealed on the official NBA website that he has an agent, Duffy's cell phone has been bombarded by various managers.

They all promised on the phone that they would definitely choose Jiang Yan in the draft.

However, Duffy maintained a polite conversation with these people, neither alienated nor intimate.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he scoffed. These managers were the only ones who knew the faces of these managers best.

"Yan, how is the morning?"

"Fortunately, just did some tests!"

Williams also nodded beside him. He didn't know his luck yet. Because of Jiang Yan's existence, he was signed by a well-known agent like Duffy.

This afternoon's confrontation match will show Duffy's managerial connections.

If you switch to the kind of agent who doesn't have big names, you will definitely not be able to do this!

"Okay, that's it for the morning! We will have a match in the afternoon, you guys take a break later, recharge your batteries, and perform well!

And next, we estimate that we will go to many places for training!Williams, I'm here to accompany Yan to various teams. I've already sent an assistant to follow you. If you have any questions, call me anytime! "

Williams nodded. He understood that Jiang Yan, who was in the lottery, must be beyond his reach. His wife Lucy said this before signing the contract.

It must also be said here that Williams and Lucy were married in April.

As a 21-year-old young man, Williams already has a happy family, just waiting for a good career!

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yan and the others arrived at the arena on time.

At this time, there are already many players practicing with the ball on the court.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan and Williams also went to the court to practice their touch.

Williams' shooting is very accurate, to what extent?

As long as he shoots, it feels like he can get in.

As for Jiang Yan, his shooting is not excellent, at best, it is at the third-rate level in the NBA.

This means that in the NBA, Jiang Yan's shooting is similar to that of a center without a basket.

However, the managers who have been observing the performance of the players not far away do not have much expression.

The reports of the scouts have already said that Jiang Yan's offensive ability is not strong, Jiang Yan's strongest is his passing, Jiang Yan is a classic traditional point guard.

Good at understanding the situation on the field, able to rationally sort out the offense and distribute the ball, and at the same time, in terms of defense, he has great potential.

The most important point is that Jiang Yan is Chinese!

These managers are very keen on the Chinese market, especially David Stern has been improving the NBA's international market.

China is a superpower with a population of 14 billion.

This big cake is not only Alexander who wants to eat it, other teams also want to eat it.

However, some bosses did not think about this.

For example, Jordan, the owner of the Bobcats, dismisses Jiang Yan. They have the second pick this year, but he already has a favorite. The first choice is Anthony Davis, followed by Gilchrist.

As for the Wizards, they will never choose Jiang Yan when they have John Wall.

Cavaliers may choose, but these are full of suspense.

Moreover, these managers are veterans, and they will never reveal their true intentions before the draft.

So these managers just watched the training on the field in silence.

An hour passed quickly.

During the period, when the media caught these rookies, they took crazy shots, which made Jiang Yan a little uncomfortable.

But it’s okay if you don’t pay attention!

After the warm-up activities, it is the official rookie competition.

Generally speaking, rookies will be divided into three groups, which have already been seen during the training.

Anthony Davis and his University of Kentucky teammates are considered a small group. This small group has a lot of potential, after all, they are members of the championship team.

The other one is made up of players who can't understand the small group of Davis. These people mainly include West, Lillard, Robinson, Drummond and others.

These people are very displeased with Davis and their high-ranking faces.

As for the last party, it's the one like Jiang Yan who just wants to behave well and doesn't want to cause trouble. This is the kind of neutral, standing on the side and watching the two parties in front of each other.

"Di!"

"I'll call the next one to play!" The staff member spoke crisply, without talking nonsense.

"Red Team: Point guard Damian Lillard, shooting guard Bill, small forward Harrison Barnes, power forward Anthony Davis, center Miles Prumlee;

Blue Team: point guard Jiang Yan, shooting guard Dion West, small forward Williams, power forward Thomas Robinson, center Tyler Zeller. "

These are two lineups that are basically lottery picks right now, save for Williams.

After finishing speaking, each person was given a set of red and blue ball uniforms.

Jiang Yan naturally entered the stage quietly.

However, after the match officially started, after Jiang Yan got the ball, she found that the other three players on the field were relying on their opponents to ask for the ball from themselves.

Only Williams moves there, taking familiar opponent Barnes in circles.

Dribbling the ball, Jiang Yan thought for a while, if she can't show her strengths in a match like this, it will definitely have an impact on the draft!
Especially before coming here today, Duffy specifically explained that he had to perform well, saying that those managers also used the performance in this competition as a criterion for judging the draft.

The higher the rank, the better it can be cultivated as a core.

This is the eternal truth.

Jiang Yan waved to Williams to let him come over.

Then Jiang Yan used Williams' pick-and-roll to break into the inside line, and then faced Barnes who switched defenses.

But Jiang Yan is not for breakthrough scoring, but for passing.

Because Barnes was chasing Jiang Yan, Davis, who was standing inside, was very afraid that Jiang Yan would rush in and score a layup, so he put 70.00% of his attention on Jiang Yan.

Without even noticing, Robinson, who has been stuck with him, has come to the horn area on the other side, and there is no one guarding him.

When Jiang Yan broke through Lillard, she had actually noticed Robinson's shift. As a passer, how could such an opportunity be missed.

In the eyes of Barnes and Davis, Jiang Yan hit the ground and passed the ball directly to Robinson.

Robinson naturally has the ability to shoot, and he makes a direct shot.

"brush!"

Take the lead!

Robinson nodded to Jiang Yan, agreeing to the right to distribute the ball next.

Originally, he planned to perform well in this match and show it to the managers standing there. In fact, he is not half a point worse than Davis.

Now that it is easier and easier to score, why bother to fight for the ball?

But Robinson thought so, another Dion West didn't think so!
