Chapter 485 Fresh Blood

Xu Hao emailed almost every match video of the students to Evans, which helped the coach judge the talent and strength of these little guys and choose the right candidates from them.Of course, this is to give the initiative to Arizona State University, but after all, this is Xu Hao's alma mater, and the Sun Devils are still a mid-range team in the NCAA Division I. Being able to join this level of team is very important for the domestic team. For young players, it is already a step up to the sky.

With the example of Xu Hao, Evans has high expectations for China's young players, and in Xu Hao's training camp, he did find a few students who have the opportunity to join, and he can definitely invite them before signing up tryout.

Xu Hao was not surprised by Evans' feedback. He never felt that his face could make the Sun Devils directly recruit people into the team. No matter how awesome you are, you should follow the process and try Training is a must.

Of course, it is impossible for all of these 30 players to stay in the NCAA. Not to mention that the main purpose of children coming to the United States is to play ball.In their view, staying at home may be a better choice.

But this trip to the United States, Xu Hao must bring these players there, just like the training camp he participated in back then with the main purpose of kicking the gymnasium, the outcome is not the first, let's see The level of American high school basketball is the ultimate goal. Maybe he can be seen in the process of playing gymnastics like he was back then!
In order not to delay the NCAA preseason, Xu Hao took the students to the United States after the summer vacation, from the west coast to the east coast, challenging the past all the way.With the contacts he has accumulated from playing for the Timberwolves for so many years, it is absolutely no problem to find a few high schools with good strength to play games, and some schools even come to ask for a friendly match.

Coach Evans still attaches great importance to Xu Hao's training camp. Although Xu Hao didn't bring the few students he was optimistic about to Arizona State University for trial training, he still sent players with the strongest professional ability. Exploring the team is mainly to record the performance of those players in a series of games, which will also become the basis for his final consideration.

At the beginning, the students were still not used to the rhythm and intensity of the American basketball. They lost the first three games by a large score, and the few good seedlings that Xu Hao was optimistic about did not perform well.This made the scout of the Sun Devils frown, and looked at Xu Hao in a wrong way. Such a player is also qualified to play in the NCAA?Are you kidding me?

Xu Hao is also very helpless about this. He is not a god. If the players who come out of his training camp can kill their peers in the competition as soon as they arrive in the United States, then he will already be a world-class head coach. The places in the training camp will definitely be robbed.Wasn't it the same when he participated in the training camp?Xu Hao still has confidence in the young players.

Sure enough, their performance in the fourth game improved obviously. The strongest No. 13 Wang Haoyu in the training camp scored 27 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, almost leading the team to win the game.Although they failed to achieve a reversal in the end, for them who lost double digits at every turn before, a 4-point loss is already a great improvement.

If only Wang Haoyu performed well in the fourth game, then the fifth game will be the team's full-scale explosion.In addition to Wang Haoyu contributing 20+ points again, No. 7 Tian Ye, No. 22 Song Xiangfei and No. 24 Li Jian also scored in double figures. Although No. 9 Lei Hanhai, who was in charge of guarding the inside line most of the time, only scored 8 points, he grabbed the lead. With 17 rebounds and 4 blocked shots, they also easily defeated their opponents 79 to 65 in this game.

Among these outstanding players, there are some Xu Hao was optimistic about at the beginning, such as Wang Haoyu, Li Jian and Lei Hanhai, and some he thought were less powerful, such as Tian Ye and Song Xiangfei, which made him more confident about the future of the students.Facing the performance of players of the same age in the United States, it is entirely possible for them to stay here and continue to improve their strength.

After a month of continuous competitions, the students became darker and thinner, but each of them became more energetic. There was such a fearsome fierceness on the court, and it didn't play like Huaxia's style at all. Move closer to American style.However, under Xu Hao's deliberate guidance, they did not play superstar basketball like the United States. Teamwork is still the mainstream. Only when the game enters a critical moment and needs someone to end the suspense will they hand over the ball to Wang Haoyu.

After playing the last game in Boston, Xu Hao took them to Phoenix, where Coach Evans was waiting for him to bring the students to try out.During this period of time, the scouts have been reporting to him what they observed. Evans increased the number of people in the trial training by a few more players who performed well during this trip to the United States. He is very interested in this.

Of course, the Sun Devils don't need to add so many players this year, but in Evans' view, even if the team doesn't need them temporarily, they can stockpile them for later use. He should also be able to start contributing to the team, it depends on whether these young students can impress him during the trial training process.

Watching them running back and forth on the court, Evans said to Xu Hao: "It seems that you still have a lot of basketball talents in China, just the two players No. 13 and No. 9. As long as you practice a few times in the American basketball environment It is not impossible to enter the NBA in [-]. As for other players, the school may not approve them, and you have to find new places for them.”

Xu Hao nodded and said: "I know, in fact, this situation is completely within my expectations. It is good for them to join the NCAA, but if it doesn't work, I may recommend them to domestic clubs based on their family's intentions. Or participate in our country's college basketball league as a basketball special recruit. Although it is not as good as the training environment and basketball resources of staying in the United States, it is still a good path, and it will also allow them to become professional players in the future."

Evans knew his favorite disciple very well, and seeing that Xu Hao had already considered everything, he could rest assured.Of course, Evans will also give Xu Hao enough help within the scope of his ability. For example, keep Wang Haoyu and Lei Hanhai. With a little training, they can at least become important rotation players for the Sun Devils. .
