Chapter 1319

It's not easy to be a professional athlete, but with so many years of competition with Xiao Yao in the ring, Zhou Zhihao knows that Xiao Yao's physical quality is not inferior to that of a professional athlete. Whether Xiao Yao can play professional basketball or not, Zhou Zhihao dare not say, but if Xiao Yao turns to boxing or free combat, Zhou Zhihao knows that he is definitely a professional player.

After all these years, Xiao Yao has made up his mind to do very few things. For more than a year, Zhou Zhihao thought how Xiao Yao could get a career contract, so he just verbally stimulated Xiao Yao. He really wanted to bet that he would never do it.

What Zhou Zhihao doesn't know is that for more than a year, before the new season next year, Xiao Yao is just a backup choice for himself. Xiao Yao's mind is to get a professional contract before the new season this year. To this end, Xiao Yao also made preparations.

Generally speaking, professional players are trained in clubs and teams, but some stars also have their own private training teams. Although Xiao Yao is not even a professional player, in order to get his professional contract before the start of this year's new season, he also decided to set up his own private training team.

Xiao Yao is not bad for money. He also knows people in the field of basketball. This private training team, he naturally wants to find the top.

The top personal coaching team is generally for the top stars. The United States is recognized as the basketball overlord. The world's top basketball stars are in NBA, and the world's top basketball coaches and trainers are also in the United States.

When Xiao Yao was in Italy, he contacted Evans, who had known him in the performance match, and asked him to help him find a candidate for his personal training team. Evans was an all-star player of NBA and a top basketball star. After retiring, what he engaged in has always been related to basketball, so he is not only familiar with the basketball circle in the United States, but also has a close relationship. Among the people he knows, there must be some top-notch and unemployed members of the private training team.

Evans was surprised and excited to hear that Xiao Yao was going to play professional basketball. He was very interested in this matter and soon contacted several top professionals in the industry for him.

The private training team is for Xiao Yao. Evans is just a middleman and can't sign an employment contract with them instead of Xiao Yao. Whether Xiao Yao can cooperate with them and form a team still needs to be decided after both sides meet and contact.

The day after Xiao Yao's wedding, he announced with his friends and relatives that he was going to play professional basketball. Then he took sun Tingting to fly to the United States to meet Evans' personal coach team.

The choice is two-way. Xiao Yao wants to see the personal coaching team, and so do the people in the personal coaching team.

Xiao Yao has no doubt about them after hearing Evans introduce their resume and know which basketball stars they have supervised or served respectively. On the contrary, they didn't approve Xiao Yao directly. Instead, they asked Xiao Yao to do some tests according to their requirements. They have to see the test results before deciding whether to accept Xiao Yao's employment and cooperate with Xiao Yao.

They used to guide or serve the top stars of the career basketball team. Now they are not unemployed. They just don't want to work or don't meet their favorite employers. Their level of people, the general NBA stars are not necessarily able to get them. They are willing to meet Xiao Yao because it is special enough.

It is a very interesting and fulfilling thing for them to train an amateur player who has not undergone any systematic training and is a semi monk into an excellent professional player. The amateur player is also a well-known entertainment star, and there is no lack of media attention. If it is done, it will have a great impact and will be more attractive to them.

Of course, there is a premise for this matter, that is, it must be able to be done. And it's not just for amateur players to get professional contracts. By their standards, even if a player can't be an all star, he has to be a regular starter for a top league team to do it.

Although they have been guiding and serving top players before, they also know how difficult it is for professional players to get a foothold in the top league and how difficult it is for amateur players to change their profession. So it can be imagined that it is more difficult for professional players who want to change their profession to play in the top league and play as the main starter of a team. Ordinary amateur players can't do it, because Evans said the employer is young Shaw, they are willing to try and meet with Xiao Yao.

As one of the juxtaposed MVPs of NBA All-Star masters a few years ago, Xiao Yao is not alone in the basketball circle of the United States. At least many people know that he is a Chinese star who plays basketball very well. Some of them are also impressed by the name of young Shaw.

When Evans looked for them, he not only showed them the video of Xiao Yao's participation in the all star masters of NBA that year, but also showed them the video of Xiao Yao's participation in the charity star game in China that year and the all star masters of NBA at the beginning of this year. As professionals, they not only think that Xiao Yao's performance in these three games is very good, but also see that Xiao Yao doesn't try his best in these three games.This is not to say that Xiao Yao deliberately hides his strength to play the master's ball. In dealing with many goals in many rounds, Xiao Yao must go all out, otherwise he would not have won so many points and assists and won three MVPs. Xiao Yao didn't do his best in the whole game.

The three games are all star performances, and it's normal not to give full play to them. The problem is that Xiao Yao didn't give full play to the game, and he won that kind of data. If he gave full play to the game, what would be the result? Although those three games are amateur or amateur based non professional games, Xiao Yao's opponents are mostly amateur players, with limited reference value, they still see the great potential of Xiao Yao to become an excellent professional player.

However, the competition is a competition after all, let alone the so-called performance competition. After meeting Xiao Yao, several professionals still asked Xiao Yao to do some tests according to their methods, so as to have a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of Xiao Yao's basketball technical ability, tactical understanding and physical fitness.

For this request, Xiao Yao did not reject, very happily agreed to a few people to do their required test.

The test took a total of two days, and the results not only satisfied several professionals, but also surprised and surprised them. Of course, it's a better surprise and surprise than they expected.

Both parties are satisfied, and the next step is to sign the employment contract.

Each of these professionals has his own field of expertise. They work together in the team and are responsible for different aspects. There are technical coaches in charge of technical guidance and tactical explanation, data analysts in charge of video and data analysis, physical trainers in charge of physical fitness and strength training, nutritionists in charge of daily diet nutrition regulation, doctors and physiotherapists in charge of sports injury treatment and muscle fatigue recovery after exercise. Xiao Yao provided them with different responsibilities, rights and remuneration, but the duration of the contract is the same, which is a three week short-term contract.

Xiao Yao means: after the contract is signed, he will carry out special training in the United States for two weeks under their guidance and help, and then participate in the trial training of a professional basketball club. If he passes the trial training and gets a professional contract, he will sign a long-term contract with them, and they will become a private team for Xiao Yao's long-term cooperation. If the trial is not passed, whether it is Xiao Yao's problem or not, it shows that the cooperation has not achieved good results, so

The players in the NBA have a short-term contract of about ten days, and a three-week short-term contract is not surprising for these people. It is the first time Xiao Yao has dealt with them, and this kind of result only approach is normal in the thinking of these Americans who value interests. If you can't become a professional player, you have to sign a long-term contract with them and support them. That's a lot of money.

After the two sides signed the contract, Xiao Yao had his own private training team. Next, there is a two-week special training.

In view of Xiao Yao's situation, the training team has made a very detailed training plan for Xiao Yao's special training in the past two weeks. It seems that there are some strict training plans, and Xiao Yao sticks to them all. And these two weeks of special training, the effect is more obvious.

As Xiao Yao's "newly married" wife, sun Tingting has been training with Xiao Yao all this time. Even if sun Tingting is not a basketball professional, even if sun Tingting and Xiao Yao are together every day, we can clearly feel the changes of Xiao Yao in the past two weeks.

After two weeks of special training, Xiao Yao is ready to take the training team back to China to participate in the trial training of professional clubs. This was originally agreed with the training team when they signed the three week short-term contract before, but on the eve of Xiao Yao informing the training team that they were going to return to China, the training team had other ideas.

"Do you have to go to Huaxia club for trial training?" Technical coach Daniel Williams asked: "although this year's NBA draft is over, it's still about ten days before the start of the season and the team can sign free agents. We can recommend you to the NBA team together with Evans, and directly contact a NBA team to let you go to trial training. With your ability and our reputation in the U.S. basketball industry, it's not that you have no chance to get a contract with the U.S. professional basketball team. "

"Maybe." Xiao Yao said, "however, although there are still more than ten days to go before the start of the season, the main framework of the players of Meizhi basketball team should have been built. Even if I can get a professional contract, let alone the length of the contract, I think it's very difficult for me to get a lot of playing time in a short time. Maybe I will be sent to the Development League, or even fight for playing opportunities in the Development League. "

"It's not that there is no such possibility," Daniel Williams nodded, and then said, "but this is a test and stage that many players have to go through. Do you go to China's team, you can directly play the first? I think you are likely to go through the same stage

"Not the same," Xiao Yao shook his head. "The chance to start directly is very small, but it's not impossible. More importantly, my fame and influence in the United States can't be compared with that in China. So the opportunities I can get in the Chinese professional team, at least in the early stage, are different from the opportunities I can get in the American professional basketball team. "

"In China, a considerable number of people will buy tickets just to see me." Xiao Yao then said, "as long as a team signs me, it's impossible for the Chinese basketball team to keep me out of the game, because the media and the public will criticize the team for signing me as pure hype, just to cheat fans and my fans to buy tickets. China professional basketball team has no Development League for players to test and exercise, so at least at the beginning of the season, I am sure I can get a certain playing time in the league, there will be performance opportunities"In the end, players in the team foothold, or need their own strength strong enough Daniel Williams said, "if you have strength, even if you can't play in the early stage, you will also wait for opportunities in the back. No strength, even if the early stage on the field, the performance is not good, there will be no chance behind. Fans like you again, but if you don't perform well, the team will have reason not to let you go. Even if the team sends you on, the fans will boo you and ask the team to reduce or even deprive you of your playing time. "

"That's the truth." Xiao Yao nodded, "but I think, in addition to their own strength, the path and process of career development is also very important, and the improvement of their own strength is also related to the path and process of development."

"For example, Yang Chen," Xiao Yao said, "I don't think that if he didn't play in the Chinese professional basketball team for two years and won the championship of the Chinese professional basketball team, the MVP of the regular season and the MVP of the finals, he might not be the number one draft winner of the American professional basketball team. Maybe he won't have so much playing time at the beginning of entering the NBA, won't become the main force or even the core of the team so soon, and won't become a great star in the hall of fame in the end. Therefore, I think it's a better choice to start with the China Vocational basketball team. "

"Yang Chen?" Daniel Williams thought about it and nodded unconsciously. "You have a point."

"Yang..." Daniel Williams opened his mouth again, and suddenly said with a smile, "ha, Yang, your name is Yang, too. Your name is the same as Chen."

"No, Chen's name is Chinese. His Chinese name is Yang." Xiao Yao laughs, "and my Chinese name is" Yao ", Yang is my own English name."

"Do you call yourself do Yang because of Chen?" Daniel Williams said with a smile, "do you take Chen as your idol and have long wanted to go the way he used to go?"

"No!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Chen's parents are both Chinese professional basketball players. He has received professional basketball training since childhood. When I was a child, I learned music, musical instruments, photography, and even how to act. Let me tell you a secret. When I was five years old, Chen wanted to send me to professional basketball training, but I refused. At that time, although I also like basketball, but also like a lot of other things, did not want to be a professional basketball player

"What a pity!" Daniel Williams shook his head and sighed, "if you had accepted Chen's advice, maybe now you don't need us and would have been the main force in the NBA team."

"Maybe, but I don't think it's a pity." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "there is no doubt that Chen is a great player. But just because I rejected Chen when I was a child, if I can achieve the same achievement in basketball as Chen who has not experienced professional and systematic basketball training now, then I will be a greater player than him. "

"I like you to think so!" Daniel Williams laughs, "I think I like you more. Let's work together to make you achieve this goal! Just as you said, let's go to the team training of China Vocational basketball team

"No problem, let's do it!" Others nodded in agreement.

"You will like China, believe me!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
