I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 26 One month's time

Spring goes to autumn... time is like water....

It has been a month since Liu Baoqiang and Rice returned from Milwaukee.

And when they got back to Portland.

Because Les other things are too much.

I don't have the time to run around with Liu Baoqiang anymore.

So Liu Baoqiang almost spent the rest of the time alone.

Of course, he didn't leave Liu Baoqiang idle either.After all, this guy also has his own "professional" position.We have to get the business started.

At the very least, let this novice know, where can he find players as a "development league scout"?

So Liu Baoqiang's first business trip started like this.

He'd have to turn every D-League team in the NBA.

The NBA Development League, also known as the NBA Gatorade League, was established in 2001 and is the second-tier league of the American Professional Basketball League (NBA).

At the beginning, there were only 8 teams in the Development League.At that time, these teams were not affiliated with all NBA teams.

The relationship between them is more like a cooperative relationship.

As of this year, that is, in 2004, the Development League has expanded to 13 teams.Gradually, some nba teams began to acquire these teams under their own banner.

However, this does not include the Trail Blazers.

The reason for this is not to say that the Blazers have no money to build a secondary team.

You must know that the owner of the Trail Blazers is Paul Allen, the world's top rich man.This little money is really not bad.

The reason why I don't do it is because I don't have the energy to do it.

After all, the current situation of the home team is messy.Where is it possible to set up an affiliated team?

Besides, the Development League can also be regarded as the "reserve" of all NBA teams.

As long as it is a player here, any team is eligible to pick.

The doors are so big.Why bother the Trail Blazers to add trouble to themselves.

That is to say, if the player you are interested in belongs to a team affiliated with another NBA team, or his contract and signing rights are with other NBA teams.

They just need to pay some money to get it.

So the Blazers didn't feel the need to do it at all.

But not doing it doesn't mean you don't need it.

After all, they also have players who need to be transferred.

So they must also have partners.

The Trail Blazers partner is the "Fort Worth Aviators."

"Fort Worth Pilots" is located in Fort Worth, the fifth largest city in Texas, in the middle of the United States.The distance between Portland and Portland can be said to be quite far.

The reason why it is so far away is that there is no other way.Oregon has only one NBA team, the Trail Blazers.Not like their next door California.Owns several companies such as the Lakers and Clippers Kings.And they also have their own affiliated teams.

So the Trail Blazers can only go to other states to find partners.

And this is also a cooperative affiliated team of the Rockets.

But the distance is much closer.

After all, Houston is also part of Texas.

And Liu Baoqiang's first stop is here.

"Hey, guys, I heard that we are going to have a scout here today? Is there any team that is going to pick players? Come to us to find the right one?"

"I don't know about this. Just now I just heard from the assistant coach that we should play a practice game later? There will be scouts coming to investigate, and there is no other news? By the way, if we are assigned to the first team in a while, Remember to pass the ball to me more, and I will also grab rebounds for you!"

"That's for sure..."

This was before Liu Baoqiang arrived.A conversation between two players in the training facility where the Fort Worth Aviators are based.It seemed that they had heard the wind somewhere.It seems to know that a scout will come here today.Both of them seemed a little excited during the conversation.

In fact, this is considered normal, after all, what are they here for?Is it because you want to play in the NBA?

Compared with the home team, the players in the Development League can be said to be quite hardworking.

Let's take the treatment as an example?Some media have reported that the income gap between the two is nearly 400 times based on the average income....

Of course, money is one aspect.

But more is a kind of torment.

The development alliance at this stage is not yet fully equipped.To put it bluntly, it is not too different from a wild team.

The same is true for the competitions, how many attendances can there be?It's all about watching the sky and the earth.Not sure at all!
And here there are players who were undrafted, and there are players who were selected by the team but were sent down.And there are players who are always looking for opportunities.

Just holding the income of subsistence, but waiting for the somewhat elusive opportunity.How could it not be tormented.

Of course, as the saying goes, the carp leaps over the dragon's gate and soars into the sky.

If you get the chance, go for it.Then it's worth the torment.

So for this group of players, they will never miss a chance...

Originally, it was similar to the NBA's schedule, and the development league's season generally started in late October.

In other words, it stands to reason that this stage should be the players' offseason.

But it's different.

During the offseason, it is time for teams to prepare for the new season.It is also possible to come to the Development League to pick players.

Therefore, players in the development league will generally stay on the team at this time.Looking forward to whether I can "hit" into this kind of thing.

It's just a pity that the chance of this kind of thing happening is really low.Because most scouts already know the basic information about these players.Those who don’t know will collect information only after the season starts.

If the home team really needs players.Most of them will only inquire about the recent performance and statistics of a certain player here by phone. Anyway, the number of times they can come to the scene is one of the few.

But Liu Baoqiang is different, this guy has no fart information.Plus another rookie.Rice also hoped that what he saw was believing.That's why he's here.

But the players in these development leagues don't care about this.In their view, as long as it is enough to impress these scouts.Then they have one more chance to go up.

So after getting the news, almost everyone was full of energy.

Even if there is only such an "audience" as Liu Baoqiang.

When the training match started, it was so intense...

The only thing I looked at was Liu Baoqiang….

"I'm going, isn't it? The intensity of the summer league is not so high, right? It seems to be a bit of a deadly move! That guy thinks whether the cap is a trendy ball cap or a hipster cap, why did he slap everyone's nosebleeds?" ...."

At first Liu Baoqiang just wanted to take a seat according to the introduction and information given by the assistant coach here.Then, combined with the system's evaluation, I sketched out a piece of "self" information, and then sorted out and filed it when I went back.

So this guy's action is to roughly read a player's information.Then look for that player on the field.Once you find the person, stare at them for a few seconds. ...In fact, it just gives the system a few seconds to analyze.

But how could this guy have thought of it, that is, he looked at it like this.As long as he sees the players, he gets excited.It's like being injected with chicken blood.It's because those who get the ball don't recognize it, and those who can't get the ball reach out and grab it...

Liu Baoqiang only looked at him in shock.

"My God, the games here are so ruthless. What if it's in the NBA? It seems that I have to find a way to practice my resistance after I go back... Otherwise, even if I find You can play in the NBA, but you can't stand the elbow after playing..."

Again….Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

In short, the current "lively" on the field has made Liu Baoqiang a little unacceptable.It seems that he has to consider his own safety in the future...

...............

Usually like this practice game.The main purpose is just to observe the players' on-the-spot performance.So only the time is counted and the data is not counted.And time only stops at any time.

And when Liu Baoqiang sorted out the data of all the players.It is estimated that this product is also afraid of watching too much excitement...After watching it for 20 minutes, I didn't feel the need to watch it anymore.

In addition, the Trail Blazers are currently delegating a player like He Shengzhen.And it hasn't been reported yet...Liu Baoqiang wanted to say hello, but he didn't have the chance...

So he felt there was no need to stay any longer.

So I went to the next stop that day.

Two weeks later….

As mentioned earlier, the Development League has a total of 13 teams.In addition, this guy's purpose is relatively pure, which is to collect information.

Although there were some jokes and a little commotion...

But in half a month, this guy completed this business trip.

And when he returned to Portland, Rice did not arrange any travel work for him for the time being. After letting him rest for two days, he was asked to stay in the team's reference room to read the materials.

As mentioned before, the job of a scout is not just as simple as finding players, it also requires certain professional knowledge. Rice has always wanted to accelerate Liu Baoqiang's growth.

After all, any growth requires a certain amount of "knowledge" reserves as the basis.

This guy must know what tactics his team uses.How did these tactics evolve and their predecessors get to where they are today?It is always clear what kind of players are needed for the tactics, right?
Even if these are clear?The opponent's tactical situation must also be known.

So Rice did not allow Liu Baoqiang to sit idle.

And Liu Baoqiang was indeed not idle.

He didn't dare to sit still.

When Les asked him to read the materials, he read them, even though there were many of them that he could not understand.But even with systematic help and records, Liu Baoqiang can slowly understand bit by bit.

In addition, his basketball training has really begun.

As I said earlier, the backyard of Rice's property is very flat.Get a basketball stand and you can use it directly as a basketball court.

Of course, Liu Baoqiang didn't intend to buy a basketball stand...Don't say that he has no money now, even if he has money, he won't be willing to part with it....

Fortunately, this guy's hands-on ability is extremely strong.

When this guy fixes Rice's vintage Harley.

Just drove this locomotive around the neighborhood where I lived.

With great luck, he first found an abandoned wooden telegraph pole and went through a lot of trouble to get it back.

In the warehouse, I found a wooden board that could barely be used as a fence.

Then a steel bar was used to knock out a ring....Forcibly punched into the wooden board....

So a self-made basketball hoop appeared...

Although this basketball hoop is a bit ugly, and the basket is a bit small...But in Liu Baoqiang's view, it is completely usable.

Since there is a basketball hoop.Then all you need is a basketball and everything is ready.

Originally, this guy was going to bleed a little to buy a basketball.

But he was also really lucky. On the day he was going to buy basketballs, when he was about to leave "off work", he just happened to encounter the team's logistics preparing to deal with those severely worn training balls.

This guy shamelessly asked for a few back.

So without spending a penny, this guy got what he wanted...

And that's how his basketball training began.

"Isn't it, system? If you were practicing like this, would you have told me earlier? Why do I have to put in so much effort? You know that the telegraph pole weighs at least 100 kilograms. Is it easy for me to carry it back?"

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.

Liu Baoqiang never imagined that when he planned to practice basketball in this "closed" environment, the system would not let him touch basketball at all.

"Based on the current actual situation of the host, the system has analyzed it. If the host wants to enter the NBA, he has the greatest chance of entering by turning on his shooting ability. After all, the host only has one chance to be exempted. Even if he turns on his shooting ability, he still needs a good body. Provide assistance! But although the host’s body is okay, it is still very different from professional athletes, so the system recommends that the host start practicing with the body first, and the first thing the host needs to train is physical fitness, reaction and flexibility!”

If it is placed among ordinary people.Liu Baoqiang's physical fitness should be very good.But that's all there is to it.

Plus there's the issue of age.

Not to mention the staying power….

If Liu Baoqiang has enough points.

It can fully activate physical ability, speed ability and jumping ability.So these are of course not a problem.

But the problem is that he only has one chance to open it now.

You must know that there are many guys with good physique, fast speed and high jumping in the league.Even putting all these things together.That's just a guy in great physical condition.

But then again, if he is just physically good without the corresponding skills, no team will want him.

So the system's suggestion should be reasonable.

recent knowledge growth.Of course Liu Baoqiang understood what the system said.

But after all, the basketball stand that I managed to get out was not used after I got it done, so I just complained.

…………

If you want to train your body well, of course it is not a system that can produce results in just one sentence. It requires long and hard training.

In addition, Liu Baoqiang is also a person with a job "at any rate".Then if you want to achieve results, you can only work slowly and meticulously.

So that's it, and a month has passed.Liu Baoqiang's time in the reference room is also over.

This is not to say that he has read all the information.

Instead, he has another mission...

No... More precisely, something happened to the Trail Blazers again.Because something happened, Liu Baoqiang had a mission.

This can be heard from Rice's angry words.

"Damn Ruben Patterson is becoming more and more lawless. He used to hate Kobe, but now he dares to attack anyone in the team. He shouldn't be signed in at the beginning! It's good now, the season is about to start , I have to find someone again!
Liu?You look in the development league, find a shooting guard to start the new season as an emergency! "
