The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 599: he has a soft heart

LATEST WEBSITE: Louie has never had such a busy summer.

In a few months, he needs to prepare for the team's draft, renew his contract, get married, determine the future whereabouts of Hu Weidong and Yu Tiancan, and return to China to prepare the third phase of the academy's players in the United States to participate in the construction of the NBA China Basketball Academy, As a bridge between China and the United States, the National Basketball Team will be the first to go to the United States for training before the Olympic Games.

He didn't even have time for his honeymoon.

Now, his plan is in the third stage, getting married.

As a celebrity in New York, his marriage news will naturally attract the attention of many people.

Louis wanted to keep a low profile, but the outside world didn't allow it, and there were too many people who wanted to bless him.

Therefore, Louis can only get married in a high-profile manner, and at the same time obtain Lorraine's understanding - to postpone the honeymoon to next year, he really has no time this year.

Fortunately, Lorraine didn't mind delaying the honeymoon, anyway, marriage was just a formality for her and Louis.

They have been living like a couple for a few years, and even if they get married, there won't be too many waves in their hearts, it's just a ceremony.

After the marriage, Louis quickly entered the state.

He first arranged for Hu Weidong and Yu Tiancan's family to come to the United States.

When it comes to choosing a school, although Louis can provide advice, it is his family who make the decision.

Hu and Yu are both regarded by NBA scouts as the seedlings who can enter the league in the future.

Especially Yu Tiancan, who soared to 2.2 meters in height but retained his flexibility and agility, from an ordinary international student who may not even be able to play in the NCAA first-level league, he became the hottest character in the 1988 NCAA basketball recruiting season. one.

Hu Weidong may be a first-round pick in the future, and Yu Tiancan's lottery entry is almost a certainty, unless he makes no progress in college or suffers serious injuries.

At present, there are several universities that recruit Hu Weidong, namely the University of Kansas, Syracuse University and the University of Connecticut.

Kansas is going through turmoil after Larry Brown returned to the NBA, and Louie doesn't recommend going there.

Before the 1990s, Connecticut was just a mediocre school, not as good at developing players' shooting ability as it was later.

There is no problem with Hu Weidong's projection, and Louis hopes that he will go to a university that can teach him to move.

It's a pity that I didn't find it. Judging from the existing universities, Syracuse University may be more suitable.

Hu Weidong's technology is mature enough, and the university he needs to go to is preferably a school that can improve his shortcomings. Syracuse University has a very good defense in training players. If Hu Weidong can go there and play ball, it will be very helpful for him to enter the professional league.

Yu Tiancan's situation is much more complicated, and there are too many schools that want him.

He received dozens of invitations for full scholarships.

There are North Carolina and Duke just in the famous schools.

Louis does not recommend Yu Tiancan to go to Duke, because the coach of Xiao K (who is young) is not good at cultivating players like him.

In North Carolina, the competition is simply too fierce.

The main force of last season is still there, and the freshman also has Tom Gugliotta, a top insider at the same level as Yu Tiancan.

There are good things and bad things about playing on a competitive team.

The advantage is that you can't really relax, and you may be caught up once you relax.

The disadvantage is also the same, too many people, the coaching staff will not be too concerned about you, because if you don't play well, others will play well.

Yu Tiancan was a tough guy, and Louis was really worried that he wouldn't be able to adapt to a place like North Carolina.

In order to recruit Yu Tiancan, universities and colleges resorted to all kinds of strange moves.

A coach promised that the female student would do Yu Tiancan's one-on-one tutoring to ensure that his studies would not fall behind.

It is very spiritual that he specifically mentioned female students.

Father Yu was an honest man, and when he heard this kind of treatment, he shook his head seriously.

There is also a university. I heard that Yu Tiancan’s family is from a remote area in China, so they wanted to use bribes to get Yu Tiancan to join.

As a result, Yu's mother was furious: "Do you treat my son as a commodity?"

Moreover, she solemnly warned Yu Tiancan not to accept any money.

Because once you are bribed with money, everyone can bribe you with money in the future.

Hearing this, Louis felt ashamed, remembering how he made money when he first crossed over. But he is not reckless for money, so mother Yu's words are sharp and embarrassing, but they are not applicable to everyone.

Yu Tiancan rejected the other party's check, and another school was swept out of the house.

Because there are too many choices, the conditions they give are all kinds, and they all look good, and the Yu family can't make up their minds.

Finally, Yu's father asked Louis to come and make an idea for them.

Among these fanatical suitors, Louie chose Wake Forest University.

For several reasons, Wake Forest head coach Dave Odom was one of the first college coaches to pursue Yu Tiancan.

According to Louie's investigation, if he is not mistaken, this Odom is the future college basketball coach who turned Tim Duncan from a talented Viking kid into the best power forward in history.

Louie wasn't sure if he was right because he didn't know Duncan's college.

He can only judge based on Wake Forest and Odom's contract, as well as the other party's resume. Even that wasn't enough, and Louie asked Odom to provide a long-term training plan for Yu Tiancan.

It's an unreasonable request, and no college coach wants to do it.

But in order to get Yu Tiancan to join, Odom spent two days giving Lou a detailed plan.

He hopes that Yu Tiancan will focus on building muscles and adapting to the intensity of the college game in his first year in college; in the second year, he will be the core of the team and exert influence on both ends of offense and defense; the junior and senior seasons will be his important shaping During the model period, Odom will polish his basic skills in training and games to prepare him for the professional league.

That's what Louie wants to see, a college coach who is accountable to the players and should have a long-term plan.

People such as John Thompson, who are mistaken and self-righteous, have ruined many good players.

When Yu Tiancan promised to hand over his future to Wake Forest University, Louie said to Odom with a smile: "Dave, I believe you have the ability to develop Harold into a good player, but I hope you can say Do it. If I see him working hard and stagnant, I'll have him sign up for the draft right away."

Lamar Odom knew that Louis was a man of his own, and he knew how much he valued Yu Tiancan's future development.

He promised that he would do everything in his power to help Yu Tiancan improve, and he also put his mind on Liu Yuqing: "Lu, that child... He shouldn't have promised any schools yet?"

"Hey, don't even think about it."

In Louie's impression, Wake Forest University can always train players with high IQ or solid skills.

Duncan and Paul are the masters of it, and there are players in the next level or two, like Josh Howard or Jeff Teague.

But in the history of this school, a player like Liu Yuqing has never been trained.

At this point, it is impossible for Louis to hand Liu Yuqing over to Wake Forest University.

In Louis' eyes, Liu Yuqing is a treasure. Both Yu Tiancan and Hu Weidong will be important figures in the future of the national team, and Liu Yuqing, if he continues to grow taller and maintain this style of play, although it is hard to say whether he can enter the NBA, he must be a big killer in FIBA ​​games.

Odom, who knew that Liu Yuqing was a good material, regretted: "Lu, you should believe me."

"Let's train Harold first before I believe it or not." Louis snorted.

Hu Weidong went to Syracuse University, and Yu Tiancan went to Wake Forest. Among the six people in the first phase of Luyuan’s trip to the United States, four graduated from high school this year, three went to the first-level league, and one went to the second-level league.

The second-tier league also produces talents, like Rodman, Oakley, and Pippen are all from the second-tier league, so their future is still promising.

Now it's Liu Yuqing's problem~www.readwn.com~ Louis is a little worried about him.

After Hu Weidong and other four older graduates, there were only two first-year students left in Lincoln High School. And Liu Yuqing is introverted by nature, and Louis is worried that he will not get along with other people.

The head coach of Lincoln High School, Mark Forrester, told Louie to relax: "Everyone likes him because he plays hard as long as he is on the court. After Harold and the others graduate, I have to start relying on him. He will be us. The ace player. Don't look at him like this, under his impersonal appearance, he actually has a soft heart."

These words reminded Louie of Deng Shimo, the head coach of the basketball team in Luyuan, who seemed to have a similar evaluation of Liu Yuqing.

"Really?" Louis became more and more curious about Liu Yuqing.

"Compared to this, let's talk about this year's international students." Forrester's eyes lit up, "You should bring a group of children from China this year, right? How about this time, how many should you give? me?"

"Dividing your head, when I am a wholesale market?"
