I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 27 Salary paid...

Ruben Patterson?
This is a typical guy who has a high heart but doesn’t know how high the sky is.

Why do you say that?Just looking at his career says it all.

In the 1998 draft, Ruben Patterson was selected by the Lakers with the second pick in the second round.It is officially landed in the NBA.

But after this guy came to the Lakers, he always thought that he was much better than Kobe, and in order to show this.As long as it is the Lakers team training game, he will continue to challenge Kobe.And also gave himself the nickname "Kobe Terminator".

Of course, the final result was that he was blown away by Kobe.

But even so, this guy has been restless.The Lakers couldn't stand it either, so they traded him to the Seattle SuperSonics.

Was traded to the Sonics.This guy also has a chance.Due to the decline of veteran Brent Barry.This guy was mentioned in the starting position.Become the starting shooting guard for the Sonics.And played well in this position.For two consecutive seasons, he averaged 13.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

It can also be regarded as a relatively well-known perimeter defensive gate and spot-up shooter among the younger generation.

But as the saying goes, the quality of the game determines the character.

Don't look at this guy's data is good, but his winning percentage has been negative in the Sonics.

Plus he made the Sonics locker room a mess.

So after the rookie contract of this guy ended, the Sonics did not complete the contract extension with him.

It also happened to be at this time that the Trail Blazers' starting shooting guard, Steve Smith, was sidelined for the season due to injury.

An offensive and defensive shooting guard is urgently needed.

So he signed him to the Trail Blazers.

And when the Trail Blazers signed him to the team in the first season, they regretted it....

Not to mention how many monsters this guy has done since joining the Trail Blazers...

Just looking at this guy's stats is a pain in the ass.

01~02赛季。场均11.2分，3.1个篮板，1.7个助攻。表面上看貌似数据下降的不厉害。在要命的是这家伙的三分命中率却只有25%。

You must know that during his two years with the Sonics, his three-point shooting percentages reached 44% and 37%.

The Trail Blazers also took a fancy to this before they were willing to sign him.

But what about after signing in?That's not even the most outrageous thing after signing in.The most outrageous thing is yet to come.

02~03赛季。场均8.4分 2.3个篮板0.9个助攻。三分命中率15%。

03~04赛季。场均7.9分，2.7个篮板，1.1助攻，三分命中率8%…！
Perhaps if it weren't for this guy, he would have averaged 1.1 steals per game in three seasons.Defensive efficiency can really help the Trail Blazers.

In addition, this kind of top quality is not uncommon in the Trail Blazers...

After all, everything always comes first, first served, right?
You know that there was still a "locker room poison" Jeff McKinsey who couldn't sell it?
Maybe if a team wants him.Even if the Trail Blazers lose money and make a profit, they are still willing to send him out...

But obviously this guy has no such sense of danger at all.Still going its own way, getting more and more crazy.

It was just the day before Rice came to find Liu Baoqiang for his mission.

It also happened to be the day when the Trail Blazers players returned to the team to gather.

I don't know why.What was this guy's argument with Zach Randolph's younger brother, Quintel Woods, the 2002st overall pick of the 21 Trail Blazers during practice sessions?Then he moved his hands.

Now that his younger brother was being bullied, Zach Randolph, as the boss, couldn't sit idly by, so he joined the battle group.

The final result, of course, is that two fists are hard to beat with four hands.Ruben Patterson was hit with a broken nose and a torn corner of his eye.was taken directly to the hospital.

It is reasonable to say that this kind of fight in the team.It doesn't matter right or wrong, and it doesn't matter how bad it is.

But after all, it is a matter of closing the door and coming from home.

Just like what He Shengzhen committed a while ago.

The most serious punishment is a ban within the team, followed by a fine.In the end, in order to appease people's hearts, this Lentouqing was transferred to the Development League.Then this thing is over.

But who would have thought that this guy would be even more stunned than He Shengzhen...No, it should be said that it is the second best...

He actually called the police.

Well, now the police came, then the media came, then the league investigators came.

This thing is a complete mess.

Let's not talk about how to deal with this matter in terms of law and order.

Not to mention how the media added to the chaos of the Trail Blazers.

Just before Rice came to see Liu Baoqiang, the league had just issued a penalty notice.

Ruben Patterson was suspended for eight games and fined $8.

Quintel Woods shot too hard and was suspected of maliciously injuring others.Suspended 10 games and fined $4.

As the main player of the team, Zach Randolph did not stop it in time and made the incident intensified, which is an added crime!Suspended 6 games and fined $10.

And when the league's penalty notice came down.I won't talk about how the newly appointed leaders are furious.

Anyway, Les was pissed off.

He just got the signing of Joel Puerzbila not long ago, and then he got a few players in the summer league non-stop.

By the way….

The Trail Blazers have signed Joel Przybilla to a two-year guaranteed contract.

The two players Liu Baoqiang likes.

Namely Blevin Knight and Damian Wilkins.Due to his outstanding performance in the summer league.They have all been signed by the Trail Blazers with a basic salary.

After finishing all these tasks, Les hasn't had time to rest for two days yet.

He was given the task of finding players.

After all, there is no way to do this, and three players will be suspended at once.

Zach Randolph's position is okay.There is, after all, Joel Przybilla. "Shot-blocking king" Theo Ratliff can also come in handy.

But Ruben Patterson and Quinten Woods are both shooting guards for the Blazers.

Are these two suspended?

The Trail Blazers only have one backup, Tru Williams, who will not be used for thousands of years at shooting guard. Isn't it enough?

Originally according to the meaning of the new leaders.

Since I have long wanted to deal with Ruben Patterson.Then take advantage of this opportunity and just trade this guy out.

So at the beginning, the task of finding someone to place an order.In fact, it is for Rice to find trading targets and people who are willing to trade.

But as I said earlier, Les was tired.

And this kind of transaction is also the most troublesome kind of transaction.What can you do if your "goods" are not good?There is definitely no way to complete it in a short time.

So Rice's advice is to settle for the next best thing.

First find a player in the development league to deal with the emergency.

Then when Ruben Patterson's injury healed, the suspension ended.

Brush up this guy's data again.Make it look better before starting the transaction.This may be the most cost-effective.

Apparently Rice's suggestion was also recognized by the leaders.

That's why he came to Liu Baoqiang to give the task.

Of course, the entire Trail Blazers team is not just a "development league scout" like Liu Baoqiang.

For this kind of emergency matter, it might be faster to find a more experienced Development League scout.

But still that sentence.Who made Rice want to accelerate Liu Baoqiang's growth?

In addition, Liu Baoqiang has just transferred back from the Development League.The information on hand is also up to date.There may be no unexpected surprises.

So it was under these considerations that such a decision was made.

But maybe Ren Rice couldn't think of it no matter how much he thought about it.

Surprised he hasn't encountered it yet, but frightened but he can't enter it first....

"Me me me me! What else are you looking for! I'll be fine, shooting guard, right? I think I'm the perfect fit!"

Just now when Rice was telling Liu Baoqiang about the end of history.

The guy barely listened to a word.

His hearing is all buckled on the words.

"Shooting guard? And it's emergency? Then the requirements must not be high, maybe this is my chance!"

So Les just finished speaking.Obviously still in the lingering anger.

Liu Baoqiang no matter what, he recommended himself.

But apparently...

"You? Dude, I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now? And this is not the time to be joking. I managed to get you to the United States, and I finally got you into the team as a scout, and I also want to help you as much as possible." Do you know how hard it is?

I don't ask you for anything in return now, but please don't make trouble for me either!You have to recognize the reality and don't always have illusions, okay? "

It may be that Liu Baoqiang did not bring up the old story again after he came to the United States.It may also be that Liu Baoqiang has been "learning and watching" according to his hope.Seems like a path to scouting has been set.

Rice originally thought that Liu Baoqiang had faced reality.Coming to the United States to become a scout should also be satisfied.

But who would have thought that just when he was worried, this guy would bring this up again.

And it's still so exciting to mention it, so it's only natural.

Of course, this aroused all kinds of resentment from Rice recently.

And to be honest, this matter is considered a small taboo for him.

After all, no matter what.He indeed failed to fulfill the bet between him and Liu Baoqiang.It's a breach of trust.

This is also one of the reasons why he tried his best to help Liu Baoqiang.

Maybe I want to use this method to find a sense of balance in my heart.

And this feeling seems to have been found soon, and he gradually forgot about the matter of breaking his promise.

But Liu Baoqiang finally brought it up.

So in his view, this is Liu Baoqiang's accusation of breaking his promise.

How could he not get angry?
"This...? Why can't I do it? How can you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it? I've been training recently, I..."

"Okay, let's go and finish your task first? The team's requirements are not high, as long as the defense is passable and the shooting ability is relatively stable! As for the others, let's talk about it after you have results!
By the way, payday is here, remember to sign for your salary. The commissions for the two players in the Development League have also come down. Remember to check, I have to leave beforehand! "

Obviously, Rice did not want to continue to entangle Liu Baoqiang on this issue.After explaining a few words, he left quickly.

Only Liu Baoqiang can only get stuck there if he has not finished speaking.

"Hey... why is it so difficult to play a game? You are a senior scout on the team, so you can't recommend it!"

In fact, it's not that Liu Baoqiang didn't understand what Rice did.

After all, he is also in this industry now.Although I didn't stay for a long time, I also learned a little bit.

Like Rice said before.The job of a scout can seem like a bright future.But it’s really just an errand job.At most, they only have the right to reluctantly recommend players, without any decision-making power.

And if there are problems with consecutively recommended players.There is also the possibility of being abandoned.

But Liu Baoqiang must seize any possible opportunity.But obviously this time is not a suitable opportunity...

…………

Again ruthlessly rejected by Rice.Of course Liu Baoqiang felt a little disappointed.

But when he came out of the team's financial room, this feeling disappeared immediately...

"I'm going, why are there so many? It's almost 8000 U.S. dollars. If it is converted into RMB, how much is it? How should it be spent? Do you want to find a place to have a big meal? I ate all the hamburgers and fries." It's been more than a month..."

Said before.Liu Baoqiang's salary is $2200.The commission standard is 1.5 to 2.5 times the salary.

And this standard is calculated based on the player's rating.Obviously both Brevin Knight and Damian Walkins are rated low.

So Liu Baoqiang, in addition to salary.Also received a commission of nearly $6000.

And this does not include the successful signing of Joel Puerzibilla, and Rice wants to share his share.

You must know that Rice's salary is much higher than Liu Baoqiang.The commission you get will definitely be more.

At this moment, Liu Baoqiang had the urge to play basketball again...

.........

As the saying goes, when a monk rings a bell for a day.

Opportunities have to be found, but jobs have to be done.

Plus a little bit of excitement from the commission.

For the team's tasks, Liu Baoqiang decided to complete them with quality and quantity...

"Let me think about it, let me think about it? Is there a shooting guard in the development league that impresses me more?"

After all, Liu Baoqiang has just returned from the Development League not long ago.He has already sorted out the information that should be stored.There is no need to make another round on purpose.

He now only needs to filter out the available ones from the information he collected before.Then call to find out about the other party's recent performance.

It may be enough to take a trip after finally confirming the target.

But as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.

After all, the previous two orders had the foundation that Rice helped him prepare.Coupled with the small scope, he can be considered successful.

But now there are 13 teams in the Development League, with nearly 200 players.

Liu Baoqiang really felt like he didn't know where to start.

"After all, the system only gave analysis? Thanks to the good statistics of Brevin Knight and Damian Wilkins in the summer league, they were signed by the team with high scores. But those in the development league Guy, ability is one thing? Can you play data is another thing?
Data...data..., right?How did I forget?When inquiring about the rookie pick?Isn't there rookie data attached to it?Take this out to see if there are any rookies who have been transferred to the development league. If so, if the data is good?So you don't have a headache? "

According to Liu Baoqiang's understanding.

Due to personnel restrictions for each team.

Unless it is those rookies selected with high picks or when the team is not full and there is no need to delegate.

The surplus rookies will be temporarily transferred to the Development League.

Then it will go up or down according to the team's situation and the rookie's situation.

Therefore, the proportion of rookies in the development league is still quite high.

And among them are second-round picks, especially second-round picks at the end.That's more.

The reason for this is that some teams simply don't like these players.But with the lottery in hand, one must be chosen.That's really a choice.

And most of these players did not sign with the team.Teams will also only pay some subsidies.Perhaps it is to use this method to let these players leave on their own.

Of course, the signing rights of these players for the next three years.Still in the hands of the drafted team.

Liu Baoqiang is also belated.

Now is the time when you want to complete the work easily and get a high commission...

It was only then that he remembered that when he had bet against Rice to inquire about the rookie pick, the data of all the rookies in their rookie season was attached.

And with this data, it is of course much easier for Liu Baoqiang to find it.

Just do it.

The system itself has a recording function.As long as it is queried, there are records.

So next, Liu Baoqiang is holding in his hand the rookie chapter that he sorted out by himself in the development league...

In my mind, I looked at the rookie data of all rookies.Just found it by comparison.

And soon he found the right match....
