Chapter 205 The "big event" in vain

Lan Shengli and Brooks came to the Spanish capital, Madrid, for their inspection work, which has come to an end.

The reason for saying this is because Rudy Fernandez, the primary target of the investigation, has already understood it.

Brooks was rushing to make an investigation report overnight and contacted Los Angeles.

But Lan Shengli is still investigating.

In a very accidental situation, Lan Shengli got acquainted with Paul Gasol's younger brother-Marc Gasol.

"I will make an agreement with you here, as long as you can make a name for yourself in La Liga, I will recommend you to the Clippers, and I will bring you to the NBA. How about it~?!?!"

After chatting with Gasol for a while, Lan Shengli said so to encourage Gasol.

"As long as I have the opportunity to return to the United States and play in the NBA, I can do anything~!"

Gasol was obviously very excited.

Afterwards, the two left contact information with each other, and Gasol drove Lan Shengli back to the hotel.

"How is it, the conversation with Rudy went smoothly~?!"

Back in the room, Lan Shengli saw that Brooks was still typing in front of the computer, so he immediately asked.

"It didn't go very well. Rudy actually wanted the team to give him a commitment to a starting position. This is obviously unrealistic,,,"

Brooks said.

"Yeah, the training of the lineup must be determined after the training camp and preseason games. How could he just give him the starting position~?!"

Lan Shengli also questioned.

"However, even if we can't meet Rudy's requirements, as long as he participates in the draft, we can still choose him. Besides, his ability and potential are there. It is indeed a pity to abandon him just because of this starting commitment. ,,"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

"It's not that I haven't imagined your idea, but there are many problems. His contract with the current team, and if he doesn't want to come to the NBA in the future, then we may waste a first-round pick in vain,,,"

Brooks explained.

"I also know the situation of the contract. At worst, we will continue to stock him and play in Spain for a year. If he can continue to improve, I think it may be a good idea to give him a starting commitment. After all, Rudy's strength lies there. , if the team really wants to train this Rudy for a long time, then he will become a starter sooner or later, maybe he will become a starter earlier, and he may improve faster,,, "

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

It can be heard that Lan Shengli very much hopes that the Clippers can get Rudy.

"It would be great if the management thinks like you, but unfortunately it is not the case. I have communicated with the management before, and they are very angry with Rudy's team's request, and it seems that they will not make a draft commitment. ,,,"

Brooks responded.

"You have to know, those people in the management, it is really difficult to put treasure on a 21-year-old European white defender. Maybe even if they have watched Rudy's game, it will not help,,,"

Brooks went on to explain.

"Hey, so that means, our trip to Madrid is for nothing~?!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"Didn't you just say that you went to do a big event~?!"

Hearing what Lan Shengli said, Brooks asked immediately.

"Ah~!! Yes, yes, yes, when I mentioned Rudy, I forgot what happened just now, Mr. Brooks, I seem to have found a treasure~!!!"

Lan Shengli spoke, and finally whispered.

"Just tell me what's going on, don't go around the bush,"

But Brooks didn't seem to be in the mood to speculate with Lan Shengli.

"Okay, then I'll make a long story short. This is what happened. I met Paul Gasol's younger brother, Marc Gasol, in the arena. Although this player does not have the ability of his brother at the same stage, But I think he is a piece of jade in the rough, worthy of us to carve and cultivate it~!!!”

Lan Shengli said truthfully.

"And I have already promised him that as long as he can perform well in the Spanish league, I will recommend him to the management~!!!"

Lan Shengli added.

Lan Shengli looked very at ease and proud, feeling that he had really accomplished a "big event".

"God, I'm so glad you didn't recommend it directly to management, that hamburger boy also has potential~?! Are you serious~?! Did you take his favor~?! I can't believe you are Such eyes~!!"

However, Brooks' answer made Lan Shengli's face immediately serious.

"Mr. Brooks,,, you,,, you know him~?!?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"I'm a scout, how come I don't even know the younger brother of the famous Pau Gasol? I also know that there is a third younger brother in their family, but the Mark you mentioned, I can't believe he turned out to be a practice For basketball, I think it’s okay for him to change his career and go to Japan to learn sumo wrestling,,,”

Brooks said in a mocking tone.

"Maybe he has entered the professional team now, with systematic training, he may be a little thinner than before, but you don't know what he looked like when he was in high school in the United States, just like a boy living in a fast food restaurant, he is simply bloated That’s why no university would admit him at that time, if it wasn’t for his brother’s reputation, I’m afraid he wouldn’t even be able to get into high school,,,”

Brooks continued to "make up the knife" and said.

"I didn't expect that you know this little Gasol so well,,,, I really admire your business ability again,,,"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"But I just want to motivate him and let him continue to work hard. I think if he can lose the excess fat on his body, he still has a good prospect. I am still superstitious about the DNA of a sports family."

As Lan Shengli said, he didn't seem to change his mind because of Brooks' sarcasm.

"It seems to you that you are helping him, but in my opinion, you are delaying him. Basketball is not his strong point at all. It is difficult for him to make achievements in the Spanish league, let alone going to the NBA. For his basketball career And the time wasted will never be recovered,,, "

Brooks shook his head, sighing.

"Don't mention this matter again, and don't talk about Gasol's situation with the management after you go back. If you make such claims in the future, it's still the same sentence: the internship period can end early ,,,"

Brooks said in an indifferent tone, which made Lan Shengli dare not mention it again.

"Hey, little Gasol, you must work hard, and you must surprise those who look down on you, you can do it~!!!"

Lan Shengli thought to himself, still full of confidence in Gasol Jr.
