The draft will become a trading field in the final stage. ≤ The selected rookies are like free agents, and the team can trade them at any time as needed.

There are no big deals this year, only the Spurs traded the defender Barbersa, who was selected at the 28th pick in the first round, to the Suns, and exchanged them for the Suns a future first-round draft pick.

Wang Jun soon received a call from the Heat management, which was called by manager Pat Riley.

Riley is very famous and is known as "Jin Suanzi". As the head coach, he is the only person in NBA history to lead two different teams to win more than 330 games.

The Heat followed Wade and watched the Golden Eagles vs. Wolverines game. As a result, the uniform group also became interested in Wang Jun and watched the Wolverines vs. Kentucky game.

Riley had some expectations for Wang Jun's shooting "drawing". He had no good goals in the second round, so he chose him.

Riley smiled and introduced herself: "Hello Wang Jun, I am Heat manager Pat Riley."

"Hello, Mr. Riley."

Riley spoke straight to the point. "I want to ask if you have time in July, and I hope you will represent the Heat in the Summer League."

"Of course there is time."

"Okay, someone will contact your agent in the specific situation, be prepared to play to your strengths, and you will get enough performance opportunities."

"Thank you, I will work hard."

Riley hung up the phone.

Not long after, Hughes called.

Wang Jun asked: "How do you think joining the Heat is a good thing?"

"It's hard to say, the Heat are rebuilding. Only by letting Wade play the point guard can you get stable playing time. I believe you know very well how good he is."

Wang Jun sighed. He was not afraid of competition, but the feeling of being completely suppressed was terrible.

Hughes cannot give a clear answer because the Heat has sufficient salary space and can poach people in the free market in the summer, and its strength is not determined.

"Play the summer league first. Only when you show value will the team give you a chance, and then it depends on luck."

Wang Jun made several calls.

Chatting with Abby, reporting good news to his family, and then hearing Kaman complain for a while.

David also spoke with Wang Jun on the phone. He thought the Heat was a good choice and it was worth pride that Wang Jun was selected fourth place in the second round.

Pitchers are generally underestimated this year, with Brian Cook, who is inside, falling to the end of the first round, initially predicting that he would enter the Green House.

David reminded: "Wang, you must play in the summer league well. This is a game to examine new players. Only by playing beautiful data can you have a future. We must strive to sign a contract with the team in July."

"I must have done my best. But Wade also participated in the competition. It would be bad if this guy didn't pass the ball to me..." Wang Jun felt that it was a hidden danger.

"As a teammate, you have to work hard to get along with him. You are just a misunderstanding, and I don't think there will be any problems."

"I hope so." Wang Jun knew that David had good intentions.

As for hatred, he really doesn't have that idea. One thing goes by, but it's over. Will the two men remember the game for the rest of their lives?

I just don't know what Wade thinks, so he is unsure.

Everyone says that the summer league is very important. If the summer league is not played well and the Heat are unwilling to use Wang Jun, he may not be able to obtain a guaranteed contract and will be cut by the team before January next year. This will have a bad impact on the player's entire career.

Young players must avoid being sacked, which means that the player has obvious flaws, either the offense is too bad or the defense is too bad.

The next day, the media across the United States reported the results of the NBA draft.

James is the one with the highest exposure, followed by Wade, because he created an upset.

When the media mentioned Wang Jun, they all used "lucky Chinese" to describe him. Analyzing that he was able to be selected in the second round was largely because of the Chinese market. Judging from his personal ability, he should not be ahead of Mo Williams, Pachuria and others.

Espn Radio also talks about the current younger age of rookies.

The top four players in this year's draft are all under 20 years old. No. 1 pick James and second pick Milicic are both only 18 years old, Anthony and Bosh are both 19 years old, and all 29 rookies in the first round are players born after 1980.

Except for the Eagles, Hansen, who was selected as the eighth place in the second round, was born on April 15, 1978. The other 57 rookies were all born after 80 years, and as many as 14 under the age of 20.

A large number of young rookies join the NBA, which has brought changes to the team's management methods and forced the team to add assistant coaches. Now there are at least 3 assistant coaches in a team, and the Mavericks are the most exaggerated, with 9, and their job is more like nanny.

In order to change the younger age of rookies, the NBA is now trying to transform the draft system and not allow players under 20 to participate in the NBA draft. This slogan has been shouted for several years and has not taken specific actions.

** Radio's "big mouth" Barkley commented on the draft and joked that NBA is becoming WBA.

This year's rookie conference is simply an exhibition of international players. 21 international players were selected and 8 were selected in the first round, setting a record for the NBA draft.

Capono was dissatisfied with his pick and joked in an interview: "I should go to Croatia after playing for a year in college, then wear a beard and change the name to Vladimir Caponovich, which is perfect. I will definitely be selected in the first round."

In short, the NBA international players storm has already begun, and Wang Jun is one of them.

Scouts recognize the strength of international players. In international competitions, the gap between American basketball and world basketball is narrowing. People are desperately pursuing the next Nowitzki, the next Stojakovic, and the next Yao Ming.

Three days later, the schedule for the summer league will be announced.

This summer league is very different, with four places, including Long Beach in California, Orlando in Florida, the Boston area and Salt Lake City.

The game time is also separated: Long Beach July 7-21; Orlando July 9-13; Boston July 14-21; Salt Lake City July 19-27.

There are three players in China participating in the summer league. Wang Zhizhi is in the Long Beach area. Bart, who just won the championship with the Spurs, will play in Salt Lake City.

Wang Jun received a notice to represent the Heat in the Long Beach Summer League, and Wade was also in the team.

This summer league has been broadcast live on TV for the first time due to the participation of No. 1 pick LeBron James. The Heat's opponent in the first match is the Cavaliers.

One week before the game, the media began to hype, attracting a lot of fans' attention. For a rookie, even if he is the No. 1 pick, it is very rare.

What kind of surprise will James bring to fans?

Wade was a superb player or a parallel person selected by a high ranking?

Chinese players Wang Jun and Wade have gone from opponents to partners. Can they cooperate well?

The match between Capono and Wang Jun was also regarded as one of the highlights. Someone revealed that the Knights invited the two to try out and finally chose Capono.

On July 6, Wang Jun flew to Los Angeles and then took a bus to Long Beach to meet up with his teammates in the Summer League.

During the game, the players will stay in the booked three-star hotel uniformly and receive good treatment.
