Chapter 1 Criticism
Been selected.
In the 2011 draft, a rookie named Yu Qiang was selected by the Houston Rockets with the 60th pick in the second round.
It caused a thousand waves for a while.
Yu Qiang???
Who is Yu Qiang???
The name Yu Qiang also became the keyword on the top of the hot search list of Du Niang for a while, and remained high for a while.
Netizens are also looking for this young man named Yu Qiang who was fortunately selected by the Houston Rockets.
For a time, in the country, a person with the surname Yu and the name Qiang was also harassed.
This incident also caused a sensation in the domestic basketball world.
This is true for experts to say among the people, but it is too deep to hide.
The name Yu Qiang was like a time bomb, which broke out in the sky and detonated.
There is no trace of defense, or even a little omen.
The Chinese basketball industry is also a platoon specialist, contacting NBA and asking if they are real at this time, not fake news.
They received a positive answer.
This news was released on the Rockets official website as soon as possible.
The content published on the official website is not like some small sites that specifically edit some gossip or even fake news to deceive readers in order to deceive traffic.
This time it was officially announced by the Rockets that they also asked Yu Qiang to sign the contract a week later.
OMG.
The world is so big that it is all about this.
For a time, there was also a huge discussion on this matter online.
What surprised them most was not that the Rockets would choose Chinese players in the draft, because there was a precedent for Yao Yao before, and what surprised them most was who the Rockets chose.
Since Yao Ming retired due to injury, domestic basketball players are now out of reach.
Yi Jianlian.
Sun Yue.
Apart from these two, who else can be fortunate to be favored by the Rockets?
In fact, the basketball world is also a very small circle. If you play a great job in the circle and are good seedlings, you have already been raised in captivity.
People like Zhou Qi, who are not like national treasures, are also the turn of foreign scouts to come to Taobao.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
It's like my wife has a net worth of tens of billions, and it's still the same thing that others say.
For domestic paparazzi, this is like eating flies for dinner, which is disgusting.
Who is Yu Qiang?
They are also becoming more and more curious about who Yu Qiang is?
And except for the official announcement, there was no news on the Rockets.
In the market, speculations were also made against the player Yu Qiang.
They unanimously determined that Yu Qiang must be a big man in the 4/5 position, or a big man similar to Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. Of course, the players who can play in China are just players in these two positions.
In the past, Battel, Yao Ming, and the recent Ali Lian and Sun Yue, are not big men. Sun Yue is not considered a big man, but he is also a person on the front line.
There is no way. In China, where explosive power and speed are generally not as good as black people, there is only one who has the advantage in height.
The Rockets had the No. 1 pick before, chose Yao Ming and received generous returns with the help of Yao Ming.
It is understandable that the Rockets have replicated their previous successful experiences this time.
According to incomplete statistics, during Yao Dayu's time for the Rockets, even though the Rockets were always in the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets were still one of the most popular teams in China. Of course, the top tycoons like the Los Angeles Lakers were also suppressed in the previous few years. In recent years, Rockets boss Alexander's personal assets have increased by nearly ten times. Although part of his asset growth comes from investing in stocks, it is undeniable that Alexander also benefits greatly as well in the Chinese market.
To give a random example, in 2008, Alexander invested in a famous domestic sports shoe brand, and now the brand has grown into a leading company in the local sports shoe field.
As the saying goes, the NBA is a business. Compared to the Bucks who chose Yi Jianlian but was in a daze while staying in the rich mine and traded UAE a year later, the Rockets can be regarded as an expert in exploring the value of Chinese players.
Therefore, there is a precedent that it is not incomprehensible that Chinese player Yu Qiang was selected.
If this player is really talented, then the Rockets are well aware of the value of Chinese players, which means that even if Yu Qiang is just a second-round pick, Xiucheng will definitely train him carefully and try to make him into a material. A very simple truth is that only by building Yu Qiang into a material can you get enough attention. And enough attention means that money is coming. Although this may be a bit naked, it is undeniable that this is a fact.
The alliance is prey on the weak, without absolute dominance, if you are not outstanding, you cannot maintain your peak, then sooner or later you will be defeated by a genius like you.
There is no way this is the NBA.
What the NBA does not lack the most is genius.
What is missing is the peak that has been around for ten years.
It is naturally a good thing that the Rockets are willing to choose a Chinese player with a draft pick, but it is also a bad thing.
Will being selected in the league be awesome?
No, the choice is just an entrance ticket.
The NBA elimination rate is also very high. Once the league cannot play in the summer, it is normal to get rid of it.
Little do they know that in the summer league every year, people who are eager to prove themselves in the league, but they have caught a lot of rookies who have just been selected, have been wiped out before. After a year, two years, or even three years, there are many veterans. The most exaggerated thing is that there are people who have been in the summer league for eight years.
This is an ideal and a beautiful dream.
This is why everyone is so looking forward to what kind of appearance and level the rookie selected by the Rockets is.
But they knew nothing about it.
How to not expect.
This year is not the year of the draft. I can easily play a few of the top ones, but the rest are just gangsters who left in the league.
There is no way, in the alliance, genius is like a crucian carp crossing the river.
Elimination happens every minute.
Moreover, Yu Qiang, who was selected, was ranked 60th.
The selected rookie is also a high school student, which has further strengthened the fans' ideas.
This is a joke the Rockets management played with Chinese fans in order to stabilize the Chinese market.
Maybe the so-called player selected by the Rockets with the 60th pick in the second round will be cut.
There has been a lot of controversy in China about the fact that some Chinese fans were selected after Sun Yue. However, the parties involved were unaware of the matter.
This matter is too mysterious.
