Chapter 417 - American public opinion

The sports media reported the NBA draft the next day, but the headline of NBA draft news was not that Derrick Rose became the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, but that Zhang Guan was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers.

Every year in the NBA draft, there will always be some players that everyone does not know or care about, especially the rookies at the end of the second round. No one will care at all, and Zhang Guan has become the most concerned No. 58 rookie in history.

Some more mainstream media are still neutral in reporting on this matter. At this time, most of the media have not yet figured out what happened, and the Los Angeles Lakers have chosen Zhang Guan without warning. Some media did not even know that Zhang Guan was going to participate in the NBA draft. These sports media in a state of ignorance can only publish declarative news.

But those sports commentators or sports celebrities are much more active. After all, they rely on this to eat, so they win their other ways through their blogs for the first time and express their views on this year's NBA draft.

"The Los Angeles Lakers took a bad move. They used this year's only draft pick to choose someone who doesn't have any basketball experience. However, for the big Los Angeles Lakers, a No. 58 draft pick is nothing, anyway. The team will not care about the rookie at the end of the second round, even if it is lost, it is a pity." A sports commentator said.

"I think the Lakers are right to choose Zhang Guan. Los Angeles has the largest Chinese market in the United States. The arrival of Zhang Guan can at least attract Chinese fans throughout California. And Zhang Guan's commercial value can also be well reflected in Los Angeles. He can help the Los Angeles Lakers gather more popularity," another sports commentator said.

But immediately, sports celebrities expressed different opinions, "Some people say that Zhang Guan can bring popularity to the Lakers, but don't forget, the Lakers are not lacking in popularity and attention, and the Lakers have a long history, there are superstars like Kobe Bryant, they are giants in the NBA, are they still worried that no one will come to see the ball? So I think it is impossible for Zhang Guan to enter the Los Angeles Lakers to play. For Zhang Guan in the NBA In the future, if he is lucky, he will become a mascot. The Lakers will take this opportunity to launch a souvenir about Zhang Guan; and if he is unlucky, Zhang Guan may be added to a transaction..."

A famous scout was upset by other players, "The Lakers chose Zhang Guan in the 58th position, which surprised me because I know there are still many outstanding young players who have not been selected this year. I tried to contact them. Several of them said that the Lakers' choice was unfair to them. The Lakers chose Zhang Guan, which means that these outstanding young people have lost a very important opportunity. I don't understand why the Los Angeles Lakers are leaving out so many outstanding basketball players instead they chose a layman who hasn't played basketball for a day! I think those young and promising players should have that kind of opportunity!"

The NBA has always been cruel, especially for rookies, it has been extremely difficult to enter the NBA. For rookies who have not been selected, it is very difficult for them to enter the NBA.

According to the normal process, if a rookie who wants to win a contract in the NBA wants to get a pre-season trial opportunity from another team, if the trial performance is good, he will get one or two pre-season games. The player's chance to play is only possible if he seizes these two opportunities, and it is possible to have more playing time in the preseason. Only if he plays well in the preseason can he get an NBA base salary contract? If any of these steps are not done well, then the players have to go to the lower leagues or play overseas.

A rookie at the end of the second round may not be valued by the NBA team, and may also not get a contract with a base salary, but they have more opportunities and fewer detours than the unsuccessful players. They don't have to work hard to find opportunities for preseason trials, they don't have to worry about playing in preseason games, because they have been selected by the team, so they will have a more stable appearance in preseason games. Time, there are more opportunities to express themselves. Even if you can't enter the NBA right away, you can at least have a chance to play in the development league.

At the end of an unremarkable second round, it is also a shortcut that many rookies are expecting and yearning for. It is for this reason that the players who lost the election are quite choosy about the Lakers choosing Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan inadvertently moved other people's cakes, even if this piece of cake didn't belong to them, but since they couldn't eat the grapes, they had to say that the grapes are sour.

...

Domestically, the media has not yet contacted Zhang Guan himself, but the Basketball Association first came forward and said that they very much support Zhang Guan's entry into the NBA, which is not usual.

Coach Yunas of the men's basketball team is even more supportive of Zhang Guan. He directly told the media that Zhang Guan is capable of playing in the NBA.

When Zhang Guan joined the men's basketball team a few days ago, the basketball association was passive for some days, but now the basketball association is finally raising his eyebrows. Someone said that Zhang Guan is not eligible to join the men's basketball team. Now even the NBA has selected Zhang Guan. Then the basketball association no longer has to worry about someone saying that Zhang Guan added himself to the men's basketball team.

Next, the Los Angeles Lakers will send Zhang Guan an invitation to the preseason training camp, and also invited a lot of media to show the invitation letter on the spot. I am afraid that others will not know. The Los Angeles Lakers are also taking this opportunity to build momentum.

But the champion team immediately responded, saying that Zhang Guan's primary task now is to prepare for the Olympics. Other things will not be considered for the time being, and the Los Angeles Lakers' invitation was declined.

This answer is reasonable, the NBA can accept it, the Lakers can accept it, American fans can accept it, and Chinese fans can also accept it. The most important thing is that domestic leaders will be very satisfied after listening.

The draft turmoil has come quickly and subsided quickly. In this era of information explosion, more fresh and exciting news will soon appear, diverting people's attention. Even if some people are still frying, no one will continue to pay attention.

At this time, another training session for the men's basketball team also kicked off. This time, Yao and Yi Jianlian have returned, and the men's basketball national team has finally gathered all the people.
