I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 60 Crazy March

March Madness?That is, the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship is one of the largest national sports events in the United States. There are a total of 64 college basketball teams participating. Because most of the games are held in March, it is a single game. Because of the elimination system, it is commonly known as "March Madness".

64 college games.

The game time is more concentrated.

And it's a single elimination system.

So this workload is quite heavy for Liu Baoqiang.

After the heat of the interview dropped.

Liu Baoqiang started preparing non-stop.

No way, who made him a wage earner, even though he was very unwilling to accept this job.But people still have to bow their heads under the eaves...

In addition, Liu Baoqiang had no understanding of the NCAA before.It’s even less clear what kind of teams there are.

Therefore, Liu Baoqiang "scratched" a lot of team information before setting off.

It's not that he doesn't want to read it carefully, it's just that he can't remember it even if he reads it carefully....

Fortunately, the system has a powerful recording function.

Everything Liu Baoqiang looks at will be automatically included in the system.

As long as Liu Baoqiang needs it, the system will immediately record it for him.

If only Liu Baoqiang was a little more lazy...The system can also list primary and secondary recommendations based on the summary of information.

This can be regarded as a great help to Liu Baoqiang.

But even with systematic help.

Liu Baoqiang also started from Portland after a week of March Crazy.

The reason for the delay for so long was not just that Liu Baoqiang was familiar with collecting information.

After these few transactions, Liu Baoqiang is considered experienced.For similar work in this area, he also has some operational experience of his own.

Among these experiences, the first and most important thing is "targetness".

Based on the current record of the Trail Blazers.Plus the future draft picks already in hand.

At this year's draft.The Blazers have at least two first-round picks and three second-round picks.

Not to mention the second round of picks, that is to say, the taller one is selected among the short ones, and the luck depends entirely on luck.

But for the first round of picks, the gold content is different.

Especially this year, the Trail Blazers are likely to draw the top 5 picks.Even the No. [-] lottery has a slight possibility.

Therefore, the goals of the draft must be more targeted.

Of course, Liu Baoqiang had to work out the goals of his choice before setting off.

For example, what position to choose players.

What type of player is this position?

And according to Liu Baoqiang's own "analysis" and after understanding the team's intentions.

Liu Baoqiang set his goal at the position of "point guard".

The current starting point guard for the Trail Blazers is Damon Stoudemire, a veteran player who has played for the Trail Blazers for 7 years.

But the league is just a business after all.

The higher the years of effectiveness, it does not mean that his position will always be consolidated.

Don't look at the fact that Damon Stoudemire is still averaging 11.7 points, 5.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds this season.

But at the age of 33, his state has begun to decline significantly.In addition, he is only 1 meters tall.Keeping Ruben Patterson in the present is also to take into account his weakness on defense.

In addition, the Trail Blazers are ready to vigorously train newcomers.So it's only a matter of time before Damon Stoudemire is removed from the starting lineup or traded out.

As for Sebastian Telfair, who was selected by the Trail Blazers with the 04th pick in the first round of the draft in 13?

Take a look at how the Blazers rate him....

"This player has a sharp breakthrough and extremely fast speed, but the problems of low shooting rate and narrow passing field of view make it impossible to train him as the main point guard."

Thanks to the reason why the Blazers compressed the playing time of the main players in the early stage.

Sebastian Telfair.In his rookie season, he averaged about 19 minutes per game.

But his personal data is only 6.3 points, 2.7 assists, and 1.1 rebounds.

In addition, the defense is not very good.

So this season is not over yet, the Trail Blazers have already planned to give up training him.

And in other positions.

Chris Duhon is now averaging 8.7 points, 4.9 assists and 3.3 rebounds.The starting shooting guard position for next season should be gone.

The traded Bob Simmons and Mehmet Oku, as long as they can maintain the state of this season.The starting position should also be able to sit down.

As for Zach Randolph?That's the star of the Trail Blazers.Unless this guy committed suicide or has some serious injuries...Otherwise, no one can shake his position.

So what the Trail Blazers lack now is an organizational point guard who is not weak on offense and defense.

After systematic analysis and Liu Baoqiang's screening.

After Liu Baoqiang set off, he locked two targets in a short time.

Deron Williams, a junior from the University of Illinois.

and sophomore Chris Paul from Wake Forest University.

Deron Williams is 1 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms.

"Strengths: This player is a solid point guard, strong in confrontation, simple style of play and willing to pass the ball. He has an overall view and a high basketball IQ, is not aggressive in offense, and has a high shooting rate.

Disadvantages: single offensive method, poor jump shooting ability, slow ball speed, and lack of mental stability. "

Chris Paul is 1 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms.

"Pros: The player is very good at changing speeds on the ball, shoots well from the mid-range, makes accurate passes, has good timing on tackles. Has very good playmaking skills.

Disadvantages, slightly thin body, lack of confrontation, short stature, poor finishing ability. "

This is Liu Baoqiang's player analysis of these two players after going back and forth for nearly 20 games.

In short, the advantages are excellent, and the disadvantages are also obvious.

Of course, Liu Baoqiang is also aware of players like this.If people want to announce the draft.The pick in the draft will definitely not be low.There are absolutely no fewer teams that want them.

So in order to make sure that I am not doing useless work.

Liu Baoqiang went to the University of Washington in the next state.I went to observe it.Nate Robinson is only 1 meters tall but extremely popular.

Mississippi's Lanier, an All-Star high schooler, is already preparing to skip college for Monta Ellis in preparation for this year's draft.

And Georgia's Louis Williams.

In short, we have come up with a set of first choice, alternate and candidate.

It can ensure that the Trail Blazers will not leave this draft...err...not come away empty-handed....

And when Liu Baoqiang finished all this, March was coming to an end.

Although at this time, the NCAA game is not completely over.

But Liu Baoqiang felt that it was almost done, so there was no need to continue observing.

After returning to Portland.

Liu Baoqiang originally planned to use two days to refine and sort out all the collected information, and then hand it over to the team.

But on the day he just returned home, another troublesome thing came to his door.

Because a stranger who looks like an acquaintance... came to visit...!
