The next day, Sun Yi brought Whiteside to the agreed cafe and signed a contract with Schwartz.
"Sun, Hassan, happy cooperation!"
"Mr. Schwartz, happy to work with you!"
Sun Yi and Whiteside answered in unison.
Afterwards, Schwartz discussed with Sun Yi and Whiteside how to improve their draft picks.
When they were about to leave, Sun Yi made his request.
"Mr. Schwartz, please help me find a trainer and arrange a summer training plan as soon as possible."
"No problem, I will get everything done as soon as possible." Schwartz agreed immediately.
After saying goodbye to Schwartz, Sun Yi and Whiteside walked towards school.
"Good brother, thank you very much for your help. I am so excited right now, it feels a bit unreal." Whiteside thanked him.
In his opinion, Sun Yi undoubtedly did him a big favor.
"Hassan, you're welcome. This is also the result of your own hard work."
Even so, Whiteside was still grateful to Sun Yi.
After dealing with Da Bai Bian, Sun Yi thought about his next plan.
After finalizing an agent, the next few chores will be handed over to Schwartz, who will devote himself to summer training.
Before Schwartz made his next plan, he and Whiteside could only stay in the school's arena for daily training.
…
Time passed quickly, and just a few days after the Wildcats won the championship, the NCAA officially announced various season awards.
As a mop, Sun Yi has naturally won many honors.
Selected as the first team of the year selected by the NCAA organizing committee.
All-American and All-Defensive teams as selected by the Associated Press.
The most important honor is winning the John Wooden Award.
As for the Naismith Award, it was collected by elementary school student Curry.
The CBS Player of the Year went to Blake Griffin.
The NCAA officials obviously conducted a secret operation, otherwise the awards would not be so scattered.
Sun Yi had nothing to do about such a thing. It would be great to win a grand prize.
Adding up these honors, the system awarded a reward of 50,000 training points.
"It seems like the Wooden Award is really valuable!"
Sun Yi sighed and continued to devote himself to training.
At the same time, Schwartz took advantage of the popularity of Sun Yi winning the Wooden Award and mobilized all his resources to publicize and build momentum for Sun Yi's draft.
The effect was pretty good. Sun Yi's draft pick was firmly within the top ten, ranked eighth.
But there are also some voices of doubt, after all, there are so many people famous for right and wrong.
Some media reporters anonymously published some articles on the Internet exposing Sun Yi's shortcomings.
They believe that Sun Yi has no ability to attack with the ball, has mediocre talent, average physical fitness, cannot adapt to the intensity of NBA confrontation, and should not receive such a high draft pick.
A pair of invisible black hands is stirring up the muddy waters of the draft.
Naturally, Sun Yi wouldn't take things like this seriously and left all the power to Schwartz, while he concentrated on training.
Two days later, Schwartz organized a summer training camp for Sun Yi as requested.
Schwartz's ability is indeed outstanding. He arranged the training hall and trainers in just a few days.
"Sun, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Mike Procopio." Schwartz introduced.
Sun Yi looked at the fat bald white man in front of him, he looked familiar, and recalled who this guy was.
Mike Procopio is a fat white man who is only 1.70 meters tall and weighs 181 pounds.
Such an inconspicuous little person is actually the director of player development for the Dallas Mavericks and the top NBA trainer.
He has worked with more than 100 players such as Kobe Bryant, Wade, and Nowitzki. He is a humble and loyal good man.
"Mr. Mike, nice to meet you." Sun Yi stepped forward to shake hands with Procopio and said.
"Sun, I saw your performance in the NCAA Final Four. It was very good. I think our cooperation will be very pleasant." Procopio said with a smile.
"Sun, I have found someone for you. You can discuss it yourself on how to cooperate. I will take my leave now."
After Schwartz finished speaking, he said goodbye to Sun Yi and others, then left the arena to go about his own business.
After Schwartz left, Sun Yi discussed cooperation with Procopio.
After some discussion, both parties were very satisfied and signed the contract smoothly.
At this point, Sun Yi has officially finalized his official trainer.
After signing the contract, Procopio started to work and asked: "Sun, what do you want to practice? I will arrange what to practice in the next two months based on your needs."
Sun Yi thought for a while and replied: "Mr. Mike, I want to gain appropriate weight, improve my confrontation ability, and then practice dribbling and passing."
After listening to this, Procopio probably understood what Sun Yi was thinking.
Immediately, he quickly formulated a series of training plans.
Sun Yi was very cooperative and carried out step by step according to the plan formulated by Procopio, improving his strength bit by bit.
During this period, Whiteside also participated in training to improve his strength.
Training time always goes by very quickly, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The NBA regular season is over and the playoffs are about to ignite.
Just like Sun Yi remembered, the Los Angeles Lakers ranked first in the Western Conference and the Cleveland Cavaliers ranked first in the Eastern Conference.
The outside media are making crazy hype, thinking that this year's finals will be 23vs24.
Only Sun Yi knows that these can only be realized in dreams.
As a veteran, he was also looking forward to seeing this peak showdown, but it didn't happen.
Although the playoffs are about to begin, Sun Yi and Whiteside do not have time to watch the game live and devote themselves to training.
According to the requirements of trainer Procopio, Sun Yi strictly controlled his diet, greatly increased his training volume, and once again started devil-like special training.
Sun Yile was among them and did not feel any hardship because he saw that the training points were rising steadily and his strength was also improved.
During such intensive training, Sun Yi also took a break from busy work and watched a game on TV.
He wanted to know whether his "butterfly" would change Dayao's fate.
May 5, Staples Center, Los Angeles, Western Conference Semifinals G1.
When the game went into the fourth quarter with 4 minutes and 54 seconds left, a classic scene happened.
During an attack, Kobe broke through with the ball and hit Yao with his knee, causing the latter to fall to the ground.
Later, Dayao walked towards the locker room with the support of the team doctor.
I thought Dayao would not play in this game, but he resolutely walked back from the tunnel and insisted on finishing the game.
When Dayao stood on the Staples Center again, Lakers fans stood up and applauded the Chinese giant from the bottom of their hearts.
Dayao made a comeback, scoring a double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds to help the Mosaic team win.
Sun Yi stepped forward and turned off the TV silently, feeling a little sad.
He won't go to the next Mosaic team game because he doesn't want to be sad again.
"Thank you, Dayao, for letting me know the NBA. Goodbye!"
