I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 28 Is there an opportunity?

As mentioned earlier, not every NBA team has its own development league at this stage.

Of course, this also shows that there are indeed several teams that have their own Development League teams...

Just like the Heat, they created the "Sioux Falls Tennis Team" as early as 1989.

After the establishment of the Development League, they joined it directly. They are also the first team in the NBA to have a development league team...

In addition, there is the "Fort Wayne Ants" of the Pacers.The "Los Angeles Defenders" of the Lakers.And the "Austin Bulls" for the Bulls.

They all have their own affiliated teams.

These teams are also the teams that impressed Liu Baoqiang the most.

...No way, no matter how you say it, this is their real territory.

Although nominally this is a "public resource" in the alliance.Any team has the right to come here and pick players.

But when Liu Baoqiang went, he still felt that he should step up his tail and be a man....

But it is also because of the deep impression.

When Liu Baoqiang checked the information of these teams.You can quickly think of some impressive players.

The right target to choose is among these teams.

Then the player he picked was...

Chris Duhon!
Chris Duhon graduated from Duke University, a famous basketball school.

In 2000, he was hailed as one of the best point guard prospects in the United States.

It's a pity that it didn't last long, and then he was squeezed out of Duke University's starting point guard position by the strong rise of Jay Williams.And he can only change to shooting guard for Bo's background.It is precisely because of this move that his draft prospects have fallen all the way.

In the 2004 draft, he was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the ninth overall pick in the second round.

And Jay Williams in 2002.He was selected by the Bulls as the No. [-] pick.

As the saying goes, people in the same class have different fates, people in the same class also have different fates, and people in the same team still have different fates...

In this draft, the Bulls have a total of 4 picks.

The third pick in the first round.The seventh pick in the first round traded from the Suns.The second pick in the second round and the ninth pick in the second round.

As mentioned before, the Bulls chose Ben Gordon, a shooting guard with a height of 1 meters.

With the seventh pick in the first round traded from the Suns, the Bulls chose Chris Duhon's teammate, Luol Deng, also from Duke University.

With the second pick in the second round, the Bulls selected center Jefferson Froman from Edward State University.

And the ninth pick in the second round is Chris Duhon.

To be honest, the reason why the Bulls chose Chris Duhon.It's just picking up a familiar one....There was no suitable goal.Then choose a player who is a bit well-known and relatively familiar.

After all, Jay Williams and Luol Deng are his former teammates.When the Bulls observed these two players, they took Chris Duhon along by the way.

But it does not mean that there is room to train him.

The current main point guard for the Bulls is Kirk Hinrich.The reason for choosing Ben Gordon is to allow the two to form the Bulls' backcourt double guns. Of course, we must vigorously train them next.

In addition, the Bulls also have shooting guard Janade Pago, who had a huge data explosion last season and averaged 13.9 points and 4.1 assists per game.And Jay Williams, the No. [-] player who has yet to return from a car accident...

so many people?The Bulls' backcourt is packed to death.How could there be a chance for Chris Duhon.

So, not surprisingly, he was released.

It also happened to be when he was first reporting to the Austin Bulls.Liu Baoqiang also came here.And recorded his data.

"Chris Duhon is 1 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms. The comprehensive observation results are as follows.

Long-range shot: Won the 2000 McDonald's High School All-Star Three-Point Shooting Contest, which was also an important long-range weapon during his college years.

Defense: Strong defensive ability on the ball, skillful pace, relatively conservative defense against people, rarely risk stealing the ball.

Position: Traditional combo guard, with thorough tactical intentions, few mistakes, good passing but lack of aura, and poor ability to score in singles. "

This is the comprehensive information compiled by Liu Baoqiang on Chris Duhon after his observation.

It can be seen from these that Chris Duhon's personal abilities basically fully meet all the requirements of the Trail Blazers.

Of course, it's one thing to be qualified, but it's another thing to be able to fight.

And the data attached to the prediction of the draft position of these problems solves all the problems.

Why do you dare to speak so loudly?Because the following rookie data is too detailed.

Almost how many games did rookie players play in their rookie season?How many starts and how many substitutes?What is the average playing time?What is the total hit rate?What is the three-point shooting percentage?Average turnovers, fouls, etc.As long as it is the data that appears in the game, it has all of it.

It is precisely because of this that the reason why Liu Baoqiang was unwilling to write these at the beginning was that 1 was because he was afraid that it would be too shocking to the world, and 2 that the numbers above were too many...

But at the beginning this guy disliked these troubles, but now these are indeed treasures to this guy.

"Chris Duhon played a total of 76 games in his rookie season, 72 of which were starts? It seems that for some reason, he was called back to the Bulls again? And he played almost a season with heavy responsibility. starter.

The average playing time is 26.5 minutes, can get 5.9 points, 4.6 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.2 steals?Not bad, the data should be considered the highest among the second-round picks.The turnovers and fouls are also controlled within two times, eh!That's him! "

It is said that people are dead compared to others, and goods are lost when compared with goods....

Chris Duhon's rookie numbers don't look great.

But if it is placed in the rookie data of this draft, it will already be able to squeeze into the top 20.And in the second round of the show, it is the first existence.

And with such good data, Liu Baoqiang naturally decided to choose him.

Now that the target has been selected, the next step is to take action.

However, Liu Baoqiang cannot intervene in the next operation.

He just needs to hand over the information he compiled to the team.Then naturally the team's management is responsible for contacting them.

Of course, as for whether the team can get Chris Duhon over.That's another story.

After all, this guy's signing rights are still with the Bulls.If the chips are not suitable, it may fail directly.

So Liu Baoqiang had to prepare one or two more candidates.in case.

…………

Time continued to pass rapidly.

Another month has passed...

And when Liu Baoqiang got his salary and commission again.This guy really doesn't want to play basketball anymore...

"9300 US dollars? Mom...how big is the gap between me and Les? Why is the commission he gave me higher than the total I got last month?"

A month flies by quickly.Nothing too much happened.There are even fewer things related to Liu Baoqiang.

That is, the Trail Blazers used part of the cash to get the signing rights of Chris Duhon from the Bulls.

After Joel Pulzby was pulled into the team for testing, all physical indicators were normal.After the contract took effect, the commission belonging to this part also came down.

Rice didn't make a mistake, and directly divided the commission between the two to get half of it.

Therefore, the sum of Liu Baoqiang's salary and commission this month is as high as 15900 US dollars.And that's after tax.

Such a large amount of "astronomical figures"?How could Liu Baoqiang not be excited?

After all, he just sent most of the money he earned last month back to China.That left me only $1000.

Now there is another 2 in hand....

Liu Baoqiang is a little afraid that if he sends money back again, will his family think that he is out there killing people and setting fires...?
……

Time goes on.

It's been almost a month.

But this month Liu Baoqiang has done nothing.

Yes, after all, it is impossible for the team to find players every day.

So this guy only got a guaranteed salary this month.Needless to say, the gap in mood before and after.

But don't look at this guy who doesn't have much work to do.

But I did a lot of "nothing".

For example... he and some of the players on the team started to get to know each other gradually.

Coupled with the identity of a scout.And this identity may be nothing in front of other people, but it is still very popular in front of these players.

So this guy spent most of his time in the training hall this month.

Either watching the players of the Trail Blazers train, or quietly following their buttocks to train.

In fact, the players of the Trail Blazers were stunned!

I don’t even understand what this “middle-aged man” wants to do?

Fortunately, it was the four players he brought in.Everyone already knows why they came to play for the Trail Blazers.It is highly recommended by the Asian in front of me.

In the case of gratitude, he is also willing to "play" with him.

In addition, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Morris Cheeks, is a head coach with a gentle personality and likes to create an atmosphere.

When he was an assistant coach with the 76ers.It can make the unruly Iverson treat him as a relative.Its tolerant attitude can be imagined.

So I don't mind Liu Baoqiang's "mischief" off the court.

Otherwise, a guy who is not doing his job would be sitting on the court all day long doing things that people can't understand.He must have been reported and expelled from the team.

Of course, Liu Baoqiang also knows what is enough.

After all, what he did was just looking for a gap.After all, there is only self-practice and systematic guidance.How can it compare to seeing it with your own eyes?

But such days did not last long.

With the start of the new season.

This guy is not suitable to appear here.

In addition, at this time, his work tasks have also come down.

This "self-experience journey" is over.

"I specially applied for your travel mission from the team, so it is both a mission for the team and a mission for our cooperation! Moreover, this trip lasts longer and goes to more countries! You must Do your homework first and then plan your itinerary!”

As the saying goes, the landlord's family has no surplus food.Reasonable resources should also be used rationally….

Although the Trail Blazers do not need personnel supplements at this stage.But information reserves and market research are indispensable.

And I said it before.Rice now wants to focus on the international market.But it is clear that his performance in this draft was a failure.

He only took a fancy to three players.And the team also selected these three players.

But the result is that one is not very good, one can't come, and the other is green.

This result made Rice need to reflect.

And the result of reflection is.

The observation is not careful enough, and the period of observation is too short.He should be after the start of the new season.Just start watching the international players in the international market who are going to enter the draft in the coming year.

In addition, in next year's draft, the Trail Blazers still want to focus on the international market.

So the tone of this mission was set.

And as the main operator of this mission.

Rice doesn't intend to do it himself.

After all, this time is just to observe, maybe even these international players do not need to contact, just bring back the observation information.

In addition, he was no one available before.

Now there is Liu Baoqiang who has nothing to do for the time being?

Then who would you look for if you don't look for him?
"According to the information given by the team? Not only do I have to go to Spain, but I also have to go to France, Germany, and Argentina? How long does it take to run this lap? Besides, I can understand English and Korean. ?I don’t understand the languages ​​​​of these countries? Can you change someone?"

To be honest, Liu Baoqiang does not want to leave the United States if it is not necessary.

Of course, this does not mean that he wants to stay in the United States.But only by staying in the United States can he find opportunities.

But this trip will take at least two months.After two months and the year is over, he will be 34, and there will be even fewer opportunities to find him.So this gun is really unwilling to go.

"Language barrier? You can find an interpreter. Isn't the team's travel expenses very rich? Besides, I also have a subsidy for you here! This is an opportunity that can't be found after many balls? You still don't want to go ? Besides, if you don’t go, what are you doing in the team? Do you stay in the training hall all day? Don’t think that the team management doesn’t know about these things, they just don’t care about you!”

Rice doesn't care about Liu Baoqiang's little bastard, because he doesn't know, even if he knows, he will dispel Liu Baoqiang's thoughts.

"Hey... well, for the sake of money... I can bear it..., then what...? Taking this opportunity,... can I go back to China? I have been in the United States for so long, and my family has always been at ease. No, I want to go back and take a look!"

Les was a little angry when he saw it, and he also seemed a little threatening.Liu Baoqiang was scared...I had no choice but to agree.

But if you can take this opportunity to go back to the country.It is also very good for Liu Baoqiang.After all, he hadn't seen his son for more than three months.Even though he kept reporting his safety on the phone, it didn't mean he could rest assured.

"You manage the time yourself. If you go back to China, you'd better find a reason, such as what players need to be inspected there, otherwise, the extra expenses will have to be supported by yourself!"

As long as Liu Baoqiang can correct his attitude, it will be a good thing for Rice.As for wanting to do something private?That's not so easy....

And so, Liu Baoqiang's journey around the world began.

He first went to Spain.Went to observe Fran Vazquez, who plays for the Barcelona Basketball Club.

However, some of them were unfavorable.

Because this guy named François Quez doesn't seem to want to go to the NBA at all, so he doesn't cooperate in various ways.It took Liu Baoqiang two full weeks to get the information he wanted.

Then Liu Baoqiang went to Russia again.I went to see the player Yaroslav Korolov introduced by the Blazers to the old legend Sabonis again.

Perhaps because of my identity as a Chinese, everything went smoothly this time and I was warmly received.Liu Baoqiang left within a week.

Then off to France.Went to meet two center players, Johan Petro and Ian Mahinmi.It's barely going well, another week.

Then he went to Lithuania, but he missed it. The player he wanted to meet was Linas Kleiza.Has gone to the University of Missouri Tigers to play.It seems that this player Liu Baoqiang can only go back to the United States to observe.

In the end, Liu Baoqiang went to Argentina, which was also his last stop.After meeting the player named Ricky Sanchez, Liu Baoqiang was ready to return home.

And that is when Liu Baoqiang ended his mission in Argentina.Every time Li Xing completed a mission in a country, he would call Les and report back to each other to make up for the mistakes.

Rice on the phone actually refused to let him go back to China.And anxiously told Liu Baoqiang on the phone.

"Come back quickly, come back to the United States, the opportunity is here! Your dream is about to come true. The team is ready to let you play games, NBA games...!"

"!!!!!!!!!"
