Chapter 166 Candidates
The NBA is a complicated circle.But in this circle, there is one thing that is particularly simple, and that is strength.
For every player entering the NBA, there are many things that can affect their value.Although the NBA is a commercial league, in the final analysis, the value of players is still concentrated in the performance of the players on the court.As for some off-court factors, it is only after the players' performance on the court has been recognized by everyone.
No owner will sign a player a big contract when he doesn't show great superstar quality, and no team will sign a player a big contract just because of a player's commercial value or a player's good looks .
It was only after Yao Ming made his name in Houston that he showed his unparalleled commercial value.The other few players who are also from China are far behind.
Of course An Luo wants to play in the NBA. There is no doubt that now is the best time.
A freshman's MOP in the semi-finals, no team's management will ignore it.This means that this player not only has extremely strong immediate combat power, but also has great talents to tap.
Coupled with An Luo's three-pointer with a shooting percentage of more than [-]% and his elite single defense ability, he is simply the most ideal wing player on the modern basketball court.Shooting is the easiest to practice, but also the hardest to practice.Even if he shrinks a bit after entering the NBA, it is worth paying a high pick to select him.
Everyone thinks that An Luo is the most suitable to participate in this year's NBA draft, and he himself thought so.
So when he went to the press conference, An Luo told Alford his thoughts.The latter was not surprised.In fact, when An Luo played consecutive eye-catching performances in the second half, he was already sure that An Luo would leave college.
There is no need for a mature player like An Luo to stay in college anymore.The mediocrity of his physical gifts will be infinitely magnified the longer he stays.This is very bad for the players.And, for a player who has conquered the NCAA, the unfamiliar NBA is undoubtedly more attractive.Just like people are constantly exploring those unknown areas, no one will stay in one place, and it is the characteristic of human beings to keep progress forever.
As the head coach, Alford actually supports the players in this matter.Moreover, it is also very beneficial to him that the players he brings out can get good picks in the draft and become famous in the NBA.Especially in recruiting students, they have good vision and good training.
After communicating with Alford, An Luo is ready to officially announce his participation in this year's NBA draft at the press conference.Although everyone thought that An Luo would run for the election, he never said anything about running for the election.
At the press conference, Alford kept praising today's opponent.
"North Carolina is a strong team with a championship tradition. Their players are very talented and do a good job on both ends of the offense and defense. It is an exciting thing to meet them in the final. As for the final To be on the podium, that's God's will. He probably liked the Bruins better today, so our guys shot better. That's all."
Many times, praising an opponent is actually praising yourself.Especially as a winner, the posture does not need to be too high.Don't be inferior before, and don't be conceited later.After all, no one can always stand at the top, who knows what tomorrow will look like!
In addition to praising his opponents, he also praised his own players, especially An Luo's performance.
"Ann is an excellent finisher. The entire frontcourt is within his attack range. As you can see, his three-point shooting percentage is very high, exceeding 5%, and he is very stable. The reason why we Able to go to the end, Ann played a big role. It is difficult for you to find a guard with such a strong scoring ability. It can be said that in the history of the NCAA, Ann is unique. I am very glad that I can coach Ann Such a player, he will be limitless in the future!"
Afterwards, the reporters focused on An Luo.
"An, congratulations on becoming the champion player of the NCAA tournament and being elected as the MOP. As the first Chinese to win this award, how do you feel?" Lin Xi moved quickly, and he was the first to get the opportunity to ask questions.
"I am very lucky! It is a great thing to get the MOP, but winning the championship is even better! We have been working hard for this championship throughout the season, actively training; every game, we try our best to attack and defend. In the end, We became the one with the best performance. As for my identity, I hope this is just the beginning. I believe that after this, there will definitely be more 'An Luo' appearing in various leagues and playing wonderful games."
"Ann, will you enter this year's NBA draft?"
"Well, I've decided I'm going to enter the draft this year. It's a new venture, but I like to explore."
After An Luo announced his candidacy to the reporters, the news spread as quickly as possible.Many people who watched secretly, including those scouts, agents, and NBA players who knew An Luo, all took action one after another.
"Ann, everyone is now discussing whether the No. [-] pick in this year's draft is you or Ben Simmons. What do you think?"
"I know that's a good guy. In fact, including Brandon Ingram, Jaylen Brown, Buddy Hield, these guys are all good players. Me, barely. But in the end The result is not something I can decide, nor can you decide. Every team has the players they need most, they have professional personnel, and they will have the best players. Talk about this before the lottery results come out It's still too early for that."
"Before you, most of the players from China were big men on the inside, and the only outside player, Sun, didn't make a name for himself. Do you think you can adapt to the NBA?"
"Well, should I be more humble about this question? Hehe..." An Luo shook his head and continued to the reporter: "Last summer, when I first arrived at UCLA, someone asked me if I could adapt NCAA. Right now, no one is bringing it up. I don't think it's going to be raised anymore by this time next year."
This question is actually very embarrassing to ask.But it also reflects the first-line status quo, that is, Chinese defenders have indeed not proved themselves on the NBA court.
But An Luo has confidence in himself.First of all, his technical characteristics are very suitable for the development trend of modern basketball.Although in the NBA, three-point shooting is already a necessary skill for a player, but there are still few proficient and stable ones.Secondly, An Luo felt that after the settlement this time, he could still improve.
