Chapter 723 The Art Students of Class 9 Are Different
As the focus of everyone's attention, Lin Weirui himself felt quite calm.
Teacher Xu's original expectations for himself have been lingering in his mind.
In the words of Teacher Xu.
If you can't be invincible in the Dragon Kingdom's high school league.
If you can't kill everyone in the Spanish professional league.
If not all professionals in the basketball field are unanimously optimistic.
What qualifications does Lin Weirui have to strive for the special honor of being the "No. 1 pick in the NBA draft"?
Although, in the NBA's decades of history, there have been many parallel No. 1 picks.
Although, it is rare to find a player who can perform stably from the time he debuts until he becomes a superstar.
Although it is said that in the basketball arena, there have been too many players who performed amazingly, but in the end they were like short-lived shooting stars.
But no matter what, if you don’t work hard and strive for it, how do you know you can’t do it?
When he was young, being the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft was just a beautiful fantasy in Lin Weirui's mind.
But now, he is already on the road to this fantasy world.
Lin Weirui knew that all this happened because of that tall and handsome man.
Now, no matter how wonderful his performance is on the court, he will never be complacent.
Because he has not yet achieved what Teacher Xu expected of him.
When he truly became the top pick in the NBA draft, he would breathe a sigh of relief and proudly said to Teacher Xu:
Teacher Xu, I did it!
…
A friendly match during the offseason of La Liga became a hot topic because of the emergence of Lin Weirui, a super newcomer.
Real Madrid and Barcelona did not really get angry in this game.
Lin Weirui was replaced by head coach Gasol half the time of the third quarter.
His statistics in his first professional game were "average" performance of 21 points, 7 rebounds, 6 steals, and 3 blocks.
This is indeed incomparable with his data in the Longguo High School League.
But it really shocked Spanish basketball fans and professionals.
When he was substituted, unanimous cheers erupted in the Barclaycard Center.
"Forest!"
"Forest!"
"Forest!"
…
"Lin Weirui was substituted."
"The audience was cheering for him."
On the commentary desk, commentators Martin and Mike were equally excited.
"21 points, 7 rebounds, 6 steals, 3 blocks."
"Weirui Lin completely conquered us with his all-around performance."
"At the same time I have to remind the teams in the league."
"When the new season comes, are you ready to deal with such a world-class basketball talent?"
…
The final result of the friendly match ended with Real Madrid's victory.
But the outcome of a friendly match is irrelevant.
There is only one person's name on the front page of the entire Spanish basketball media:
Lin Weirui!
…
Also called "La Liga".
But the La Liga of basketball and the La Liga of football are not at the same level of attention in Dragon Country.
Lin Weirui's amazing talent and beauty did not cause any sensation in the major domestic media.
Only professionals in the basketball field received this explosive news after waking up early in the morning.
Imperial Capital.
Yu Bowen’s residence.
Here is a group of garden villas lined with green trees and filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
After Yu Bowen completed his daily fitness routine, he turned on his phone and received a message from Spain.
"Woo..."
He took a sip of water, pushed up his glasses, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face.
"Although it's just an insignificant friendly match."
"But Lin Weirui's performance was also explosive."
"I want to see if there is anyone in China who doesn't admit that Weirui Lin is an epic basketball genius!"
Yu Bowen takes most of the credit for Lin Weirui's successful overseas venture.
He was overjoyed when he saw Lin Weirui delivering such outstanding results on the field.
"The reform in the football field should have already been planned and implemented by the higher-ups."
"The rise of our basketball field should also be put on the agenda!"
"This time, let me, a layman, add another fire to those basketball professionals who claim to be professional!"
Having made up his mind, Yu Bowen made a few calls.
…
When Zhai Haihua of the Nanguang Golden Tigers received the news, his reaction was much greater than that of Yu Bowen.
"Director Du, he is the boy I mentioned to you a few months ago."
He pointed to the picture on his phone and said to Du Feng beside him with a look of surprise and regret.
Du Feng, coach of Nanguang Golden Tigers.
During his playing career, he was a well-known basketball figure in the Dragon Kingdom.
Later, after retiring, he led the Nanguang Golden Tigers and won several professional league championships.
"oh?"
"Is it him?"
Du Feng had a clear look on his face.
"I know him."
"Our Chairman Yao is very optimistic about his future."
"According to Chairman Yao's wishes, he will definitely be able to land in the NBA in the future, and his achievements may be even higher than those of Chairman Yao."
"When I heard Chairman Yao say this himself, I was completely shocked."
Zhai Haihua shook his head regretfully.
"Why."
"When the high school league started, I was at Zhongnan and witnessed his first appearance."
"Although I was optimistic about him at that time, I never thought that he would develop to such an incredible level today."
"I have to say that Yu Bowen's vicious vision and bold actions are indeed much better than mine."
The high school league started half a year ago.
It was at the Tianxing Basketball Stadium in Zhongnan.
Zhai Haihua of the Nanguang Golden Tigers and Guo Dongqiang of the Northeast Cheetahs were the first professional scouts to witness Lin Weirui's debut on the court.
But it may be limited by my own strength, experience, and vision.
They have never dared to imagine Lin Weirui as a super talent at the level of the top pick in the NBA draft.
Now, when Lin Weirui burst out with such amazing energy, Zhai Haihua somewhat regretted it.
"Although I know that a basketball genius like Lin Weirui should not stay in our domestic league and hang around."
"But as someone who has witnessed his step-by-step journey to where he is today, I always feel regretful in my heart."
"Fortunately, Teacher Xu introduced me to several talented young players during the summer vacation."
"I must train them well. Maybe among them there will be Lin Weirui in the future?"
Not long after Xu Jie took over the Ares Sports Basketball Youth Training Center in Putian, Fujian Province, he recommended it to Zhai Haihua.
First of all, he has been dealing with Zhai Haihua for some time and has a good impression of Zhai Haihua.
Secondly, Putian in Fujian Province is very close to Nanguang.
Furthermore, the Nanguang Golden Tigers are a slightly dominant team in the domestic league, and their facilities and training are extremely standard and scientific.
Therefore, Xu Jie felt that he was very relieved to hand over the young talents from Ares Sports Basketball Youth Training to Zhai Haihua.
Although the development of domestic basketball is better than that of football, the improvement is limited.
Especially in recent years, Chairman Yao's reforms have not been implemented well.
Xu Jie once had an idea.
If we can use Lin Weirui as the axis to promote the development of domestic basketball, it would not be a bad idea.
But he didn't do anything about it himself, he just mentioned it to Yu Bowen.
Xu Jie knew that Yu Bowen was a truly sentimental, capable and well-connected person with high IQ.
It would be more appropriate for him to do this than for you to do it yourself.
A friendly match in La Liga is like a butterfly flapping its wings.
In the future, a storm swept across the entire Dragon Kingdom.
