Tang Tian said this very suddenly, and when the awards ceremony was over, Walker pulled him aside to chat.
"Don, are you running for election this year?" Walker was full of surprise.
As for Walker, he has practiced in college for three years, and now he has finally got what he wanted. Although it has not been made public, his participation in the election is already a nine out of ten thing.
But Tang Tian is different. Tang is a freshman, and besides defense and three-pointers, he has many other skills that he has not shown. It is obviously a better choice to stay with Lamb for one more year and hone his skills.
"En." Tang Tian nodded.
"Why don't you stay an extra year? If you run this year, you're likely to get picked in the second round, which is not a good pick, but if you stay an extra year, you can show more skills and the data will be better. .” Walker said.
"No, you left. The upper limit of Kangda's strength is here. There won't be so much exposure. Next year, there may be no selection in the second round." Tang Tian replied with a smile.
"How about... I stay for another year?" Walker suggested, saying this showed that he really cared about Tang Tian.
"What are you saving? If you don't go to the NBA now, what time are you wasting in college!" Tang Tian rolled his eyes at him.
"Okay, it's all the same, it's good to run with you." Seeing that Walker was about to speak, Tang Tian put his arm around his shoulders and said.
His reason certainly cannot be said to Walker that the krypton gold system, the most important thing is to make money, is too restricted in the NCAA.
On the contrary, if you run for the election, even if it is only the second round, as long as you can earn start-up funds, it will be a matter of time.
Walker nodded and did not speak again. It is also a great blessing in life to run for election with his brother.
After the awards ceremony, the UConn team members completed the net-cutting ceremony for the champion. With their own commemoration, the team members yelled and went back to the locker room to continue celebrating, where they had already prepared champagne in advance.
Unlike the previous ones that sprayed Tang Tian, this time the champagne is guaranteed in quality and quantity and has not expired.
All the strong men, including head coach Cajon and assistant coach Ollie, were all wet in the locker room after a while.
After the celebration was over, Tang Tian chatted with Calhoun for a while, which probably meant that he would announce his candidacy at the press conference later.
Calhoun was a little surprised, but he also supported Tang Tian's choice.
Tang Tian's NCAA performance this year was quite dazzling. His performance at UConn was second only to Walker. The draft is all about talent. Tang Tian has the talent and opportunity to knock on the door of the NBA.
And to put it bluntly, since he has retired, he doesn't have to persuade Tang Tian like last year when he tried his best to persuade Walker to stay in school.
"I'm going to hire an agent and go to the 2011 NBA draft."
When Tang Tian announced the news at the press conference, the reporters in the audience were restless.
This year, Tang Tian played 30 games in the regular season, averaging 23.6 minutes per game, contributing 8.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, shooting 42% from the field and 49% from the three-point range.
In the championship stage, he played all 7 games, averaged 28.8 minutes per game, contributed 12.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, shot 45% from the field and 67% from three-pointers.
Among them, in the championship stage, the average points per game in UConn is second only to Walker. He is the team's second scorer, and his three-point shooting percentage ranks No. 1 among all players (more than 5 shots).
Tang Tian's performance in the NCAA this year, as a freshman book is already quite brilliant.
However, most rookies will choose to announce whether they will participate in the election at the end of April or even May. Tang Tian announced just after the finals, which is a bit early!
"Yes, I will participate in the draft with Tang." Walker followed up and said.
Walker's original plan was to make a final decision after chatting with Calhoun and Ollie later. After all, he has a lot of affection for UConn, and whether he can run will have a great impact on UConn's strength.
But since Tang Tian had already announced it, there was no need for him to hesitate any longer.
As soon as Walker said this, the commotion of the reporters below became louder.
This is Kangda, the first and second scorers are both in the election?
"Coach Cajon, do you support their decision?" The reporter turned the question to Cajon.
"Yes, I support them. No matter what decision they make, I believe they made it after careful consideration. As a coach, I support them unconditionally." Cajon said with a smile.
At this time, Ollie, who was sitting on the farthest side, turned pale.
Ever since Tang Tian announced his candidacy, he was a little dazed. Tang Tian and Walker, the two champions who won the championship, have left, so next year there will only be one Lamb left for him to play with?
And what Calhoun said, he didn't think about him at all!
It's over, it's over, next year I really can only play with eggs.
After the press conference was over, the news of Walker and Tang Tian's candidacy quickly detonated the media circle, and even ESPN and TNT released the news immediately.
This is Tang Tian's cleverness.
For things like the draft, if it has already been decided, it is definitely not a bad thing to grab the first place.
And when they just won the championship and the heat was high, they naturally attracted the most attention.
Being so heavily reported by the media will definitely help their draft situation.
Of course, this summer is very long, and announcing his candidacy is only the first step in Tang Tian's NCAA journey. The draft, making money, special training, streetball games...he will have a good life this summer.
"Tang, have you decided on someone to be your agent?" After the press conference, Walker asked Tang Tian.
Participating in the election is not just announcing your participation, because the follow-up will involve a series of things such as draft registration, body side, signing, etc. Unless you are really as energetic as the "old driver" (Nowitzki), please A good broker.
"Not yet." Tang Tian shook his head. He was focused on the competition, and he really hadn't had time to think about his agent.
"When the time comes, we'll look for it together. I've already considered a few good ones." Walker said, he never forgets to bring Tang Tian with him.
Tang Tian nodded.
Although he hasn't considered who to be a broker, it doesn't mean he doesn't know the broker industry. On the contrary, because of his previous life experience, he knows much better than Walker.
So he basically has a general direction now.
The krypton gold system wants him to make more money, so he is naturally looking for someone who can help him make more money. Those brokers who have a bunch of rubbish contracts under their hands are what he needs.
We must know that in the industry of brokers, being able to create junk contracts means that they have strong negotiating ability.
Speaking of which, Walker's agent in the previous life was also very cheated, and he had been working as a child laborer in the Bobcats (Wasp). If the two of them were looking for it together, it would be considered a help to Walker, killing two birds with one stone.
Chapter 1 Not interested in women?
Of course, choosing an agent is not a sudden matter, there are still more than two months before the draft, and they still have enough time.
After finishing the celebration in the locker room, the University of Connecticut players had an early rest and got on the plane back to the University of Connecticut early the next morning.
Bash to celebrate this kind of thing, definitely back to school.
As soon as they got off the plane, fans outside the airport were all welcoming them.
The dense crowd, all kinds of signage and big-headed KT boards are just to welcome them.
That battle was really bigger than the ostentation of the NBA championship.
It was also the first time for Tang Tian to experience this kind of scene in person, and he was shocked by the scale.
The NCAA has more influence than the NBA in the United States, and it is really more than lip service.
"Kemba! Kemba!"
When Walker came out of the airport, the cheers were overwhelming, and the scene was exactly the same as when James first arrived in Cleveland.
One man, one city. After Walker helped the University of Connecticut win the championship, he has become the pride of Storrs Township and even the entire Connecticut state.
The UConn players did not disappoint the waiting fans. They took a group photo and signed autographs, satisfying them for a while.
After returning to school, the team members immediately participated in some celebration activities held by the school, including speeches, award ceremonies and even school activities.
The rhythm of the day's activities, after the cutscenes, at night, a group of people went straight to the largest bar in the local area, where there was a nightlife specially prepared for their group of champions.
The neon lights were flashing, and the sound of disco was playing. As soon as they entered the bar, the atmosphere in the bar immediately exploded.
"Champion! Champion!"
The shouts of the champion came and went, and whistles came and went.
In the light, smooth and sexy figures are dancing.
College life in the United States is actually very open, and parties are common, and there are even some like this one, basically wearing only a little clothes to cover key parts.
Not long after the team members went in, women came to them one after another.
Winning the championship is a great honor, and it also means that many of these players will become millionaires or even multi-millionaires in the future. These women are eager to get on the line sooner.
Oriachi quickly hugged left and right. As the only sophomore in the team, he has adapted to all this very well.
Napier also quickly got along with women, with five or six sexy girls around him, his personality was simply a killer.
Although Lamb was reserved, there was also a girl who looked innocently dressed and chatted with him.
Only Walker, Walker, the most popular guy in Kang University, is also the MOP of the new department. There are many women looking for him, but he just keeps chasing women, and then drinks alone there.
Tang Tian also had a woman in his arms. Looking at Walker in the distance, he couldn't help feeling puzzled.
Walker, don't you really have no interest in women?
Not interested in women, but interested in men?
amount……
No, this is not a good thing.
You must know that he has the best relationship with Walker now.
Just when Tang Tian was about to step forward, suddenly a beautiful woman walked straight towards Walker.
Well, she has a delicate face with a protruding front and back, a touch of pink lipstick, frivolous eye shadow, and a tight leather jacket and pants, a practical weapon.
A real beauty, according to the scoring standard, is at least 9 points.
Westerners, especially Americans, were quite beautiful before they became women.
And this one looks a bit familiar, Tang Tian thought for a while, and soon remembered that this seemed to be Bella Clavier, the captain of the UConn cheerleading team.
The NCAA is the college basketball league, and the cheerleading team is naturally the female students in the school.
In order to establish an image, the NBA strictly prohibits public contact between players and cheerleaders, but the NCAA doesn't care about it at all, so these cheerleaders and players can't be more common.
Take the most popular football in the United States as an example. There is even a princess, which means that a cheerleader has sex with the entire football team.
Of course, basketball is not as popular as football, and it is not as exaggerated.
After Bella passed by, she sat directly next to Walker, gave Walker a drink of red wine from the front of the table, and leaned towards Walker while drinking.
Walker was a little nervous. If it wasn't for his dark-skinned face, his face would probably be flushed right now.
It seems that it's not that he's not interested in women, but that he's really timid.
Bella's offensive was swift and fierce. After feeding Walker some wine, she sent it to Walker with fruit in her mouth, and hooked her feet on him.
Walker's chest rose and fell.
After Bella fed him the fruit, she pressed him directly on the sofa.
Tang Tian watched from a distance and laughed. Sure enough, a man like Walker still needs a fierce girl like Bella.
But his smile froze after a while.
Walker got up from the sofa suddenly, and just when Tang Tian thought he was loaded and asked Labela to find a place to fight, he got up and threw Bella away, and ran straight out of the bar.
"..."
"I'll go out for a while." Tang Tian patted the buttocks of the woman beside him, then picked up two glasses of wine from the bar, and then left the bar.
Opening the door of the bar, a gust of cold wind blows outside, making people shiver unconsciously.
It's only April now, spring has just started, and the temperature at night is still very low.
Walker sat on a stool by the door.
When he saw Tang Tian coming out, there was a puzzled look on his face.
"Why did you come out?"
"It's stuffy inside, come out and have a sit." Tang Tian sat next to Walker as he spoke, and handed him a glass of wine.
Walker took a big sip after taking it, and then shivered all over.
"Bella isn't sexy enough?" Tang Tian asked.
"Um, you saw it." Walker said shaking his head.
"You...do you have something to hide?" Tang Tian thought for a while and said.
"What?" Walker looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.
