Ruian's experience of rushing into NBA is full of legends. In the era of traffic, his tag is "takeout boy" and there is also a tag you would never expect "Tomb Swordsman"! These two labels are enough to show the hardships and difficulties that Ruian has gone through! Today I will share with you Ryan’s story!
Ryan went around in college. He spent his freshman year against his mother's university. Because he had too little playing time, he chose to transfer to Vanderbilt University , but transferring means that he can't play for one year! After that uncomfortable year, Ryan competed for Vanderbilt University in the 2018-2019 season, but his hit rate was unsatisfactory! After the season ended, the coach was dismissed, and Ryan had to transfer again and came to Chatnuga University. In the last season of the university, Ryan averaged 15.4 points per game, made 88 three-pointers in 33 games, and was 2.01 meters tall and had the ability to shoot, which attracted many scouts, but the epidemic affected Ryan's trial training, including the summer league, which was also cancelled! It became the undraft that year!
Can’t go to the G League, and you can’t play abroad! Ruian chose to work as an administrator in the cemetery. Because of his flexible working hours, Ruian can attack NBA at any time, which is also the reason for the label of "Tomb Swordsman". Rion recalled: "Every day, I need to go out 40 minutes in advance to brave the cold and clean the sanitation, and I need to wear eight clothes. It's too cold!"
In fact, if Ryan changes his mind, with his academic master and diploma in economics, he can work in a famous financial company in New York, but Ryan wants to join NBA, so he not only has to be a cemetery administrator, but also drives takeaway every day!
Although life is hard, Ryan was not discouraged, but trained unremittingly. On the day, he would go to the gym to train and practice football! Perhaps the difference between successful people and ordinary people lies in their persistence in their dreams! Those who stick to their dreams are ready for their dreams and can seize them when the opportunity comes!
Just before the 2021 NBA Summer League, Ryan packed his luggage and prepared to go to Europe or NBA. At this time, a call from the Cavaliers made Ryan's dream of entering NBA rekindled!
represented the Cavaliers in the summer league. Ryan played for a total of 68 minutes, but averaged 11.3 points per game and made 13 of 27 three-pointers! The hit rate is over 40%.However, Cavaliers did not choose to sign him. Ryan then participated in the Nuggets trial training. After that, he joined Nuggets Development Smart Grand Rapids Nuggets, where his three-point ability once again showed 2.3 three-pointers on the spot, which was amazing. He then participated in the 2022 Men's Basketball World Cup qualifiers!
In February 2022, Celtics signed Ryan with a two-way contract, and only played one regular season game throughout the season. In this summer league, Ryan fought against Bucks and made a final move against defense at the last moment! The game won, but Ryan was injured. The Celtics then cut Ryan. At this time, the Lakers notified Ryan to try out and finally chose to sign Ryan! Even if it is a non-guarantee contract!
Ryan Lakers once played against the Warriors in the preseason, and James made a signing gesture off the court! When the Lakers announced the roster for the new season, Ryan unexpectedly stayed on the roster, so he got the three-pointer this time!
, I don’t dare to go to Liangshan! Ryan's success was not accidental. Is it all luck to drift three-pointers in the last 1.3 seconds? It shows that it is not. Ryan started practicing NBA standard three-pointers very early. Ryan was practicing moving shooting during college, so Reeves passed the ball over halftime. Ryan confidently ran, received the ball, drifted, and everything was so natural!
Ryan's life experience gives him a mentality that ordinary people don't have! A legendary life seems even more inspiring!
Ryan, who has experienced so many difficulties, did not give up his NBA dream, and worked hard to finally gain a firm foothold in NBA. It is really rare to be on a big stage like the Lakers! Looking forward to Ryan's next contribution to us!
