Chapter 1227 The Chance of Campus Players

Entering March, the atmosphere of the NBA regular season has become more and more dignified. For those teams that are still hovering in the top eight in the East and West, there is only one month left.

Whether they can enter the top eight in the East and West and win tickets to the playoffs is just this month.

Miami.

Xiang Long is training, and Spoelstra, Craig, and Rostern are all there.

Under normal circumstances, the three will not urge a player to train at the same time, but now is an exception. Time is also very tight for the Heat. There is only one month left in the regular season, and there is only one month for Xiang Long to improve. During this one-month stay, strive for more improvement.

The real test will come when the playoffs arrive.

"Xiang Long, you have to be more decisive. Sometimes you and your teammates may have opportunities at the same time. At this time, you have to believe in yourself."

"What we want is not a role player, but a quasi-core player. You need to stand up at critical moments. You will face choices, and what you have to do is to believe in yourself and move forward."

Craig yelled into the field.

Xiang Long didn't say a word, and practiced silently.

Rostern sighed: "During this period of time, Xianglong's training was really crazy. He almost stayed in the arena except for sleeping and playing games. I have never seen such a diligent and hard-working player."

Coach Spoelstra nodded and said: "Meng Yun and Xiang Long are the most diligent and hardworking in the team, but Xiang Long does not have the talent of Meng Yun, so he can only work harder. But during this time he The progress has been amazing and, to be honest, exceeded my expectations."

In fact, although a lot of resources have been invested in Xiang Long and Xiang Long has been given a lot of opportunities, even at the expense of the team's record, but Coach Spoelstra is still not very confident about how much Xiang Long can improve.

Xiang Long is not Meng Yun. Meng Yun has always been making rapid progress. Coach Spoelstra will not be surprised even if he suddenly becomes stronger by a large part, because he is used to it.

And Xiang Long's progress seems to be very fast to outsiders. It can be said that he can have the current strength after entering the league for two or three years.

But Spoelstra watches Xianglong train every day, so it is clear how these come, which are paid for by countless sweats.

If you really want to compare, if some players are as diligent as Xiang Long, they may improve faster and be stronger than Xiang Long.Compared with ordinary players, Xiang Long is considered a genius. He has some characteristics that ordinary players do not have, but compared to those true "Heavenly Proud Ones", he is not a genius.

So I have expectations for Xiang Long and coach Spoelstra, but I dare not be too big.

However, Xiang Long's performance during this period exceeded Coach Spoelstra's expectations. During this period, Xiang Long averaged 24 points, plus 10 rebounds and 3 assists per game. For an inside player, It's almost an all-star level of personal data.

In addition, Xiang Long's role on the court is becoming more and more obvious. He can share the pressure for Meng Yun on the offensive end, contain the defense, and can also hold the inside line and protect rebounds on the defensive end.

The previous foul problem has improved a lot.

"There is still one month." Coach Spoelstra looked at Xiang Long, with a gratified smile on the corner of his mouth, "I believe Xiang Long can improve a lot this month."

Meanwhile, Miami Airport.

A man and a woman walked into the airport, quickly changed the boarding pass, and walked into the boarding passage.

Until the two left, someone was still whispering: "Those two are still tall."

"Yeah, that man is really tall, over two meters, right?"

"It looks like they are Asians. Asians are rarely so tall, but the Heat have two, Meng Yun and Xiang Long."

"By the way, when is the next Heat game?"

"Looks like three days later"

China, City S.

In a hotel, a group of tall high school students gathered together.

These are high school basketball players from all over the country. They are all very tall. It is common for them to exceed 1.9 meters, and there are quite a few who exceed [-] meters.

Because it is the board and lodging arranged by the "Speed ​​Sports" company, the sponsor of the "National High School Basketball League", so many teams live in this hotel.

Among them, Yupu No. [-] Middle School is one of the best, and it is one of the most competitive teams.

Jiang Feng, the main defender of Yupu No. [-] Middle School, rubbed a basketball in his hand, and said, "I feel that Quick Sports is more generous than the previous Nike. The hotel environment is good, it is also close to the arena, and the board and lodging are free. It's a pity that the coach won't let you Let's go out, it's my first time in S city."

"Okay." Captain Chen Hao said: "The quarter-finals will be here soon. This is an elimination system. Every game is a battle of life and death. Wouldn't it be good to stay in the hotel and recharge your batteries?"

The teammate next to him, the center Mo Huaiyuan, gave Jiang Feng a contemptuous look, and said, "Cut, this is what you pursue. What is it to stay in a hotel and include board and lodging? If you really win the championship, the reward will be generous. There is also a chance to join the 'Spark Project' in the Meng Yun training camp. I have heard that players who enter the 'Spark Project' will have a long-term plan with the goal of becoming a professional player."

"Really?" Jiang Feng jumped up, his eyes lit up: "Doesn't that mean that if you join the 'Spark Project', you will have a chance to become a professional player?"

"That's right." The answer was captain Chen Hao, who had known for a long time, "Joining the 'Spark Project' will give you better training, more training opportunities, and you can even go abroad to train and play against talented players from the United States." , face-to-face communication with nba players. Moreover, this is the first year for the 'National High School League' to change sponsors. Speed ​​Sports sponsored the National High School League for the first year. It has launched a series of plans and measures, and will definitely pay special attention to it. This year If you can enter the 'Spark Project', as the first batch of people in the 'Spark Project', there will definitely be great benefits."

As he said that, his tone became serious: "So Jiang Feng, and you, Huaiyuan, have to go all out on the field, no, not only go all out, but also go all out. This is an opportunity, those of us who used to The opportunities that campus players have never had may change our destiny and open the door to professional leagues for us. If we can become professional players, it is worth working hard.”

"Yeah." Jiang Feng put away his smiling face and nodded heavily.

Mo Huaiyuan also quickly agreed.

Becoming a professional player is the dream of each of them, but as a campus player, this dream is out of reach for them. Even if the CBA now has a draft system, they will go to college in the future, become college players, and then participate in the competition. There is still a huge gap between the draft and becoming a cba player.

With so many campus players across the country, how many of them can cross the chasm and reach the other side?
