Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

When Zhuang Yu finished speaking, the whole stadium was boiling.

Especially those players of Jiangning No. 1 Middle School basketball team, they never expected that there would be such a huge surprise. In the future, the Sharks Club will select talents from Jiangning No. 1 Middle School, which means they have the opportunity to enter the youth team of the Sharks Club.

For them, it is really a fantasy, something they dare not even dream of.

It is not without precedent that the youth team selects talents from high school, but that is only a very small number. For example, Zhuang Zhouan and Xiao Qingyang were both invited to the youth team.

However, looking across the country, how many such talents are there?

Sometimes, there may not be a single player who can enter the youth team of a CBA team as a high school student within a year or two.

These are two different paths.

"Is this true? We have a chance to join the youth team of the Sharks?"

"It's true. I heard it very clearly. Zhuang Yu said that. Zhigang, we really have a chance to enter the youth team of the Great Sharks Club and become professional players."

"Hehe, hahahaha...I have to work harder."

"The Sharks Club Youth Team will select talents from Jiangning No. 1 Middle School. In other words, as long as you can enter the Jiangning No. 1 Middle School basketball team, you will have a chance to be selected... I want to join the basketball team, I want to go to the Sharks Club Youth Team, and I want to become a professional player."

The players of Jiangning No. 1 Middle School basketball team are all very excited.

Some other students from Jiangning No. 1 Middle School were also very excited. Although they did not make it to the basketball team, it did not mean that they had no chance.

A few years ago, the basketball team of Jiangning No. 1 Middle School underwent a reform. It no longer just selected talents from the freshmen of high school. Sophomores and even seniors could also participate in the selection. As long as they could pass the selection, they could become members of the school basketball team.

In addition, Jiangning No. 1 Middle School basketball team also has a reserve team.

That is, those who failed to pass the selection and failed to become official members of the Jiangning No. 1 Middle School basketball team, but they can enter the reserve team, train with the official players, and improve themselves.

As long as they don't give up, there is a chance that they will catch up. Perhaps they will be able to stand out in the next basketball team's rookie selection and join the official team.

Therefore, the fact that the Sharks Club Youth Team will select talents from Jiangning No. 1 Middle School will not only affect the players of Jiangning No. 1 Middle School basketball team, but it is also an opportunity for some other students of Jiangning No. 1 Middle School.

It's not just the students of Jiangning No. 1 Middle School, but also those junior high school students who have not yet entered high school will have the opportunity.

As long as they can enter the Jiangning No. 1 Middle School basketball team and perform well enough, they will have the hope of entering the youth team of the Sharks Club and embark on the path of becoming professional players.

Of course, the road is still bumpy.

Even if you join the Jiangning No. 1 Middle School basketball team, you may not be selected by the Sharks Club, and even if you are selected to join the Sharks Club's youth team, you may not be able to become a professional player.

But who cares?

The future is full of uncertainties, but at least they have the opportunity to achieve their goals and the possibility to realize their dreams, and that is enough.

This news was so explosive that the entire stadium was thrown into an uproar.

It took several seconds for people to react. Someone started clapping first, and then more people followed suit. For a moment, the applause was thunderous and echoed throughout the entire stadium.

Afterwards, Yang Guohui and the school leaders of Jiangning No. 1 Middle School came to the stage and the two sides signed an agreement, finalizing the matter on the spot.

There were also many media reporters at the scene.

They pressed the shutter buttons one after another to record this moment.

The students were excited, those who were not from Jiangning No. 1 Middle School were envious, and some students clenched their fists and secretly told themselves that they must be admitted to Jiangning No. 1 Middle School...

The school leaders of Jiangning No. 1 Middle School and the city's leaders were sincerely happy. They were happy that with this cooperation, Jiangning No. 1 Middle School would have the hope of becoming a truly famous basketball school, and the biggest problem of student source would be solved.

In time, Jiangning No. 1 Middle School may become a business card and a shining star in the entire Jiangning education sector.

Media reporters quickly realized the possible impact of this incident.

They were already thinking about how to write the report after returning, and what kind of discussion this matter would cause after being reported...

A CBA club's youth team would actually cooperate with a high school, and a high school in a prefecture-level city would actually become the talent selection base for the Sharks Club's youth team... This has never happened before, and it is the first time for the entire Chinese education and basketball circles.

The impact it brings will surely be far-reaching.

Until the end of the event and when Zhuang Yu and his group left, the students of Jiangning No. 1 Middle School were still discussing the event with great interest.

"Zhigang, your chance has come. With your talent, you have a good chance of being selected by the youth team of the Great Sharks Club. Once you enter the youth team of the Great Sharks Club and perform well, maybe you can become a formal player of the Great Sharks Club in the future."

"You are so lucky, kid."

A group of teammates surrounded Yang Zhigang.

Yang Zhi has just finished his freshman year of high school and is already a key player in the team. He is extremely talented and he performed very well in today's exhibition match. Everyone is optimistic about him.

Yang Zhigang was also full of hope and said with a grin, "The head coach of the youth team is Coach Yang. As long as we work hard, everyone has a chance."

Ha ha......

Everyone laughed.

Yes, now the head coach of the Sharks Club youth team is Yang Guohui. If they really join the youth team, they will naturally be taken care of by Yang Guohui.

......

Soon, the news spread.

The whole Jiangning City was in an uproar, especially those students who loved basketball.

"Is it true that if you enter Jiangning No. 1 Middle School, you will have a chance to be selected by the Sharks' youth team? You are kidding, right? Since when did the CBA youth team select players from high schools?"

"No kidding, this is true. I was there, and Zhuang Yu said it himself. And the Sharks Club also signed an agreement with Jiangning No. 1 Middle School on the spot. Xiao Meng, don't go to the No. 7 Middle School in the provincial capital, just stay in Jiangning, and we will go to Jiangning No. 1 Middle School."

"Well, let's go to Jiangning No. 1 Middle School. With our abilities, we still have a good chance of joining the school team. Then..."

“There is a chance, but it may be harder than you expect.”

"why?"

"Do you know how many people want to get into Jiangning No. 1 Middle School now? Not only students from Jiangning City, but also students from other cities, even the entire province, and even other provinces and cities probably want to get into Jiangning No. 1 Middle School. How fierce will the competition for the school team selection be by then?"

"hiss......"

Some students who like basketball became excited and wanted to be admitted to Jiangning No. 1 Middle School.

But the next time Jiangning No. 1 Middle School basketball team selects new players, the competition will definitely be fierce, because the temptation to join the Sharks Club youth team is too great.

......

At the same time, some other CBA teams also learned the news.

Immediately someone became unhappy.

"What is Zhuang Yu trying to do? He is breaking the rules."

"He actually wants to select talents from a high school. Is he crazy? High school students are at least 15 or 16 years old. How much potential do they have for training?"

"I think he is just daydreaming. Young people are young people. They act without thinking. He may think he is awesome, but he is actually just an idiot."

"Haha, I don't think this matter is as complicated as you think. Maybe he just wants to give back to his alma mater. Once he makes this announcement, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to enter Jiangning No. 1 Middle School, especially those who like basketball. In this way, the Jiangning No. 1 Middle School basketball team will naturally grow rapidly."

"Oh, now I understand."

"Isn't this still stupid? Using the resources of the youth team to repay his alma mater, Jiangning No. 10 Middle School got an advantage, but what good will it do to his Sharks club? With what he did, the Sharks club may not win the CBA championship in another 20 or years."

"Haha, Lao Liu, you're overthinking it. Even if the Sharks don't do this, they can't win the championship..."

These people were angry and cursing at first, but then they began to gloat over the misfortune, treating the incident as a joke and waiting to see Zhuang Yu make a fool of himself.

Zhuang Yu didn't care about this. Just as he and Yang Guohui said, he just treated this as a pilot project. It didn't matter if it didn't work out. He could just consider it as giving back to his alma mater.

But what if it succeeds? Not to mention how many talents will be cultivated, even if there is one like Xiao Qingyang, it will be enough.

What's more, compared to whether there will be gains after the investment, Zhuang Yu cares more about the far-reaching impact brought about by the intersection between the two different training methods of youth teams and campus basketball.

If it is really successful, then he will consider cooperating with more schools, not just high schools and colleges, but also universities.

There are actually quite a few examples of a player playing from CUBA to CBA.

And now there is the CBA draft.

However, everyone has seen the effect of the CBA draft, which is basically meaningless. Only one or two people are selected in the CBA draft every year, and most CBA teams choose to forfeit directly. Their fresh blood still comes from the youth teams.

Zhuang Yu disagrees with this point. Who says that CUBA players are definitely not as good as those of the youth team?

Xiao Qingyang is an example.

In addition to Xiao Qingyang, there are some CUBA players who have the ability to play in the CBA, but the CBA teams did not give them the opportunity to show themselves.

This is obviously unfair to them.

What Zhuang Yu wants to do is to break this unfairness. You don’t value campus basketball, but I do. You don’t give student players opportunities, so I will.

As he made more and more money, Zhuang Yu no longer just waited for the Sharks Club to appreciate in value before selling it. He now regarded the Sharks Club as a testing ground where he could try various things.

As for whether there will be any gains, will it be like what some people say, that the Sharks Club will not be able to win the CBA championship in the next ten or even twenty years?

Zhuang Yu was not worried about this.

Isn’t it just the CBA championship?

Even if I can’t get it within 10 years, what about 10 years later?

"At worst, I can come to the Sharks to play for two years after I retire from the NBA. I can also bring Zhou An with me. It shouldn't be difficult to win the CBA championship, right?"

Zhuang Yu thought to himself.

Ten years later, I will get Zhou An to join the Sharks Club. We won't need any foreign players. Just myself, Zhou An and Xiao Qingyang will be enough.

Is it difficult to win the CBA championship?
