Chapter 23 Exposure
After returning to school, Davis saw that there was no one in the apartment, so he drove directly to the arena.

Sure enough, Baker was training in the arena.

"Hey, Michael, what have you been doing these two days?" Coach Mark was watching the players training from the sidelines, when he saw Davis walking in, he went up to him and asked.

"I'm back in Orlando, I have something to do at home."

"The game is coming tonight. Our first game of the season is against the University of Saint Joseph. Are you ready?"

"What? Coach? Want me to play tonight?"

"Well, I watched your training match that day. Although you were not very active, you did a good job of basic frame protection. In the absence of Max, I am going to put Kevin at the top of the center position. I am wronging you and you go to play the starting power forward."

Davis nodded. "Okay, I know the coach."

"Well, let's go to training."

Coach Mark looked at Davis, but he had another question in his mind.

Someone found him yesterday.

"Your school has an amazing new student this year."

"Really? Why don't I know?"

"Isn't he on your team?"

"Are you talking about that freshman named Pom Baker? He played well, but he wasn't that great?"

"Who's Pom Baker? I'm talking about the new guy named Michael DeWeese."

"It's him? Isn't he just an ordinary short insider?"

"Ah? A short insider? Hahahaha, Mark, you really laughed me to death. Do you know what his family does?" The visitor couldn't help laughing.

Mark looked at the friend in front of him in a daze. His name was Goethe. After the establishment of the Magic team, he resigned from the school basketball team and went to the Magic team as a scout.

After Goethe finished laughing, he said seriously to Mark: "He is the son of the owner of the Magic team, and now he has basically taken over the management of the Magic team, and he is going to participate in the NBA draft next year."

Mark was stunned. He didn't expect that handsome young man to have such a profound background.

"He is not participating in the draft just because he is not old enough. You have to cherish his year here. According to my observation, he already has the strength of a regular NBA starter."

Goethe had only seen Davis train with the Magic a few times. After all, most of his work was done outside, but that day he occasionally saw the roster of the University of Florida basketball team this season, and was attracted by the name Michael Davis.

The last name of Davis is relatively rare, and the age is relatively close. Goethe confirmed the information at the first time, and finally found out that this player is indeed his immediate boss, the first non-staff member of the Magic, Michael Davis.

He immediately went to his old friend, Mark.

"Then why didn't he reveal his identity?"

Goethe smiled. At first he also wondered why Davis didn't reveal his identity directly so that he could have a greater voice in the school team, but after Mark described the first training game Davis participated in to him, he suddenly understood.

The so-called know one thing and know one thing, Goethe sat down and analyzed Mark.

"First of all, do you think he will be interested in your school team with his strength? The gap between him and these players is too great."

Mark nodded. If, as Goethe said, he has the strength of a regular NBA starter, then the University of Florida team is really not attractive to him.

"Secondly, I guess, BOSS should not plan to get a good pick in the draft."

Mark frowned, why didn't he want to get a high pick.

But he immediately realized that he had entered a misunderstanding.

Why do you want a high ranking?Wasting your own draft pick?As the actual controller of the Magic team, he has already been branded as non-Magic. Wouldn't it be good to sign him with a random pick, or sign directly as an undrafted pick?

The most outrageous thing is. . .He pays himself a salary. .It is not good to have a high ranking, and you have to pay more taxes.

Mark can be the head coach of a university team, so he is not a vegetarian, and he quickly figured out the twists and turns.

However, he immediately had a headache again.

"Then how should I use him? Goethe?" He asked his friend who looked at him for help.

As an employee of the Magic, Goethe must have considered his own team. He thought for a while, and said to Mark: "Let it be, he can play whatever position he wants, and play as he wants on the court."

Mark suddenly thought of the technical statistics of the training match that day.

He took two shots, scored 6 points, 8 rebounds, and the rest of the statistics were all 0, and he didn't even foul once.

"Okay, okay, but, if he's going to play seriously, I think, University of Florida, it's possible to get into March Madness for the first time."

Mark fell into happiness troubles.

After Mark half-truthfully coaxed Davis to play successfully at night, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really didn't expect it. I thought it was a pendant, but it turned out to be a big Buddha."

Davis didn't know that his identity had been exposed. He was training seriously. Although the conditions were not as professional as the Magic's, it was still a top university basketball team, which could fully meet his training needs.

After a while, Mark gathered the team again, and he was going to organize another training match. This time, he wanted to keep an eye on Davis the whole time.

To the surprise of the players, Mark put Davis in the main team this time.

The main team is Kevin, Davis, Nasr, Baker and Carroll, against Austin's second team of freshmen and substitutes.

"Damn it, how can that group go to the main team? How can I not be better than him?" Austin was very dissatisfied. He thought that even if he was not the most prominent one in the team, he should still have a stable main position.

He decided to keep an eye on Davis and show Coach Mark that he was the one who should be on the main team.

After the start of the game, the main team quickly showed that it was more than one step ahead of the substitute team, and the score was quickly opened.

But Mark didn't pay attention to this. He was watching Davis' performance the whole time.

He found that although DeWeese did not have a strong desire to attack, he protected the rebounds very well, had a good sense of positioning at the basket, and the quality of pick-and-rolls for his teammates was also very high.

If you don't pay attention, you may not have much impression of him, but if you watch more, you will find that Davis's simple running, covering, and passing the ball have raised the offensive fluency of the main team to a higher level.

"Is this the level of NBA strength? How can he have the desire to attack? He is already so good at the power forward position that he has never played before. If he is allowed to play the point guard position that he is best at, what kind of energy will he explode?" Mark did not speak on the sidelines, but his mind was running rapidly.

　The second update, there is another update in the evening
