NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 7 Victory in the First Battle
Logically speaking, as the vice president of player personnel, Madkins can also be regarded as an executive of the Hornets, and he would not go to the NCAA court to inspect players in person during the NCAA regular season.

Generally, this kind of early work is the work of the team's ordinary scouts, and Madkins is only responsible for checking the inspection reports submitted by the scouting supervisor after screening.

But last year, Madkins, who jumped from the position of Mosaic team scouting supervisor to the Hornets' vice president of player personnel, in order to prove himself as soon as possible, he believed in the performance he saw with his own eyes, rather than a flimsy report paper.

After all, there have been many ridiculous jokes in NBA draft reports and player inspection reports.

For example, the so-called "second center in the Western Conference" Dampier had this sentence in his pre-draft evaluation: "He has the potential to become an excellent passer." As a result, he was about to retire, and Dampier averaged only 0.8 assists per game in his career.

During this inspection, Madkins originally focused on Duke's Austin Rivers.

Although the news has not been announced, as an executive of the Hornets, Madkins naturally knows that the deal for the team's star Chris Paul is a foregone conclusion.

However, Paul's deal was really twists and turns. At first, the Hornets, Lakers and Mosaic reached a three-way deal. The Lakers got Paul, and the Hornets got Odom, Scola, Kevin Martin, Dragic and a first-round pick. Mosaic got Paul Gasol, but this deal was rejected by NBA President Stern for "basketball reasons".

After careful negotiations, the final plan is close to finalization.

The Clippers have only three lottery shows:
No. 2008 pick in 7—Eric Gordon, who has averaged 22.3 points per game in his third season;

The No. 2003 pick of the Golden Generation in 6-high-quality white center Chris Kaman;
2010 No. 8 pick Al-Farouq Aminu.

In addition to players, it also includes a first-round pick from the Timberwolves and two second-round picks.

The Timberwolves are a big player, and it is optimistic that this is another lottery pick.

In the end, a shocking plan was formed, 6 for 1.

After trading Paul, the Hornets, who have lost the core of the team, are determined to be bad, or have to be bad.

After all, it is impossible for Eric Gordon to replace Paul's role, and the Hornets, who were ranked seventh in the Western Conference last year and barely entered the playoffs, probably want to dive for the No. 7 pick after losing the queen bee this year.

In this way, the Hornets should have two lottery picks next year, or even a high-ranking lottery pick.

Therefore, Madkins has already begun to consider next year's draft early.

Austin Rivers, the famous No. [-] high school student in the United States, is one of his inspection targets.

Unexpectedly, this trip to the Cameron Arena made him feel turbulent. The height in front of him is a bit taller than the 213 cm tall Alex Ryan, and his performance of dunking on tiptoe is surprising.

Roughly estimated, the height of the basket is 305 cm, and he can dunk on tiptoe, which shows that his standing reach is at least 290 cm, and his wingspan is amazing.

In addition to the static talent of the body, in these two attacks, Chen Xiao's suspected "sky hook" hook movement, the silky hook feel at first glance, and the physical agility and flexibility shown in lightly smearing Ryan, all left a deep impression on Madkins.

"Beauty is art, and exquisiteness is art. Exquisite and aesthetic hook movements cannot be displayed in the arena without hard work." Madkins muttered to himself, recalling Chen Xiao's previous hook movements.

Madkins read it right, this hook movement technique was indeed honed over thousands of times, but it was not honed by Chen Xiao himself, Jabbar had practiced his hooks thousands of times to have such a practical effect and exquisite beauty.

"Maybe Duke No. 13 Chen should be included in our long-term observation target." Madkins had a new idea, but within 20 minutes, the uncertain words "maybe" and "should" were left behind by Madkins.

"There is no doubt that Chen is our long-term observation target."

The reason is naturally that Chen Xiao completely dominated Alex Lane and the entire court in just half of the court.

半场结束，打满半场出战20分钟的陈逍，10投9中罚球8中5，轰下23分12个篮板5次盖帽。

Leading the Duke Blue Devils to a 21-point halftime lead ultimately made the entire second half garbage time.

陈逍的数据最终定格在23分12个篮板5次盖帽2次抢断2次助攻上。

The only blameable thing in the whole game is that they missed 3 free throws, but the free throw data of one game can't explain too much.

After this opening game, Chen Xiao, who was originally unknown in the entire NCAA league, began to emerge and gained a lot of attention.

Regardless of the attention from the outside world, Chen Xiao, who was soaking in the ice water bath in the physical therapy room after the game, was already immersed in surprise. The bitingly cold ice water mixture lost its original power to him this time.

Chen Xiao, who was wondering if there would be any rewards for the system after finishing the first official game, went to the homepage of the light screen and found,
The system has been updated. Chen Xiao still remembers that he searched every corner of the homepage before finding the "Customer Service" page in a red dot slightly visible to the naked eye, and the system reminded that Chen Xiao had completed an official NCAA competition.The system returned to the "normal" mode from the original "dumb" mode (as Chen Xiao called it).

When the host enters the homepage, there will be a reminder of special matters, and the "customer service" function finally does not need to take extra steps every time to get the answer.

Of course, if it's just a system update, it won't make Chen Xiaole blossom.

The most important thing is that according to the latest system reminder, the first game cycle (an NCAA regular season) has been completed.

"Did the first competition cycle originally consist of one game, one badge per game? Is this system really so conscientious? If it's so conscientious, should I be kryptonite or not?" Chen Xiao thought to himself.I think too much, I don't even have a scholarship, what a hammer!

Indeed, Chen Xiao really thought too much.This competition period is actually part of the previous first reward, and it is a special competition period with a reward nature.

Subsequent competition periods will be settled according to the competition system arrangement of the current alliance.

At the settlement of this competition cycle, the system comprehensive evaluation is "passed", and a chance to draw a badge or an opportunity to upgrade the existing badge will be rewarded.

"Qualified? Leaving aside the assists and steals data, is my 20+10+5 data qualified? Is there still a law? Is there still a law?" Chen Xiao asked the system dissatisfied.

"The system makes a comprehensive evaluation based on factors such as the level of the host, the level of the alliance it belongs to, the matchup situation, the performance of the host, and the honors it has received. This time the evaluation is 'qualified'." No matter how Chen Xiao asked the question, this answer was always repeated.
