China Curry received an NBA olive branch! Yang Hansen is with her company, and the Chinese men's basketball team has received two great news

On June 13, Chinese men's basketball player Yang Hansen is about to start the trial training of the eighth NBA team. The latest trial training team is the Nets, and the feedback given by the Nets management is very good. The Associated Press revealed that Yang Hansen's draft market is still rising, and it is estimated that this big man from China will be selected by the Nets at the 26th pick in the first round. The Nets have a total of 5 signings this year, namely: No. 8, No. 19, No. 26, No. 27 and No. 36.

In addition to Yang Hansen, who is very likely to stay in the NBA to play, Lin Wei, the defender known as "China Curry", was also revealed to be expected to stay in the NBA to play. It turned out that after communicating with the Chinese Basketball Association this summer, Lin Wei expressed her desire to stay in the United States to compete for the NBA league, so Lin Wei gave up the opportunity to represent the Chinese men's basketball team in the training roster before the Asian Cup. 21-year-old Lin Wei is 1.88 meters tall and plays mainly in the shooting guard in the CBA league. In the end of the season, he averaged 30+ points per game in the playoffs. This data is not only the highest in the country, but also surpasses all foreign players. He is also a veritable playoff scoring champion.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Wei's team has the idea to reach a higher stage and successfully signed up for the 2025 NBA Draft. After participating in the Adidas training camp, Lin Wei came to the United States for special training, and during this period he received invitations to try outs of several teams. Now some media have revealed that Lin Wei performed very well in the trial training of the Mavericks. He ranked second in the shooting performance in the team's trial training. Many media even marveled at the Chinese defender's outstanding outside feel.

So, the media revealed that the Mavericks are currently very interested in signing a contract with Lin Wei's team. Of course, this contract is not a formal contract, but a training camp contract for participating in the Summer League. Just like Zeng Fanbo signed the Pacers that year, only by playing highlights in the Summer League can you get a formal contract. Otherwise, Lin Wei will face the possibility of being cut by the team.

Because many teams are currently interested in inviting Lin Wei to play in the NBA Summer League, Lin Wei's team currently needs comprehensive considerations to make the final choice. Next, Lin Wei will return to Los Angeles for a few more days of special training, and he will continue to participate in separate trials sent by other NBA teams with the help of his agent.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Wei himself has strongly expressed his willingness to play in high-level overseas leagues. He told the fans that even if he fails to compete in the NBA this summer, he will go to other overseas leagues, such as the NBL League in Europe and Australia. Now the Sydney Kings and Melbourne United in the NBL League are very interested in Lin Wei, and they are willing to give Lin Wei a salary of nearly one million yuan, which also proves that Lin Wei has a very good prospect in the overseas market.

However, to be honest, Lin Wei's NBA draft prospects are far inferior to Yang Hansen, and there are two main reasons. First: Lin Wei is slightly deficient in confrontation, and the defensive end will become the biggest drawback. You can also play local defenders in the CBA league, and you will encounter various talent monsters in the NBA league. Especially in the back line, Lin Wei's speed, explosive power, and bounce were left far behind. Therefore, if Lin Weiruo wants to stay in the NBA, he must firmly improve his core strength and muscle dimensions.

Second: Lin Wei's height cannot play as a shooting guard in the NBA league, he can only play as No. 1 position. Lin Wei’s biggest advantage is his three-point shooting. He has a big heart that dares to take action at critical moments, but his biggest weakness is his lack of tandem ability. Therefore, if he wants to stay in the NBA to play, he needs to calm down and practice passing hard to broaden his passing horizon.

Finally, I predict that Yang Hansen is expected to be selected at the end of the NBA's first round. It is predicted that Lin Wei, who was out of the NBA Summer League, has a 50% chance of being transferred from an E10 contract to a two-way contract by teams such as the Mavericks. For the Chinese men's basketball team, it is good news to have more young people compete in high-level overseas leagues, and I hope they can have a good result this summer.
