ace marshal

Chapter 920 Looking for the Deputy Helmsman

Although he didn't want to be the head of the inspection team, after finding the general manager and failing to decline the job, Lan Shengli had no choice but to take over the job.

Lan Shengli has always been a player who doesn't do anything and never stops, so since he accepted this job, he must do it well.

"The team currently has Harden and Hill at the back line, and Jordan who protects the frame inside. As for the front line, Johnson can defend well, but his offensive ability is insufficient. In addition, Thornton has been traded away. Now the team's offensive firepower It is very weak, so we must use this draft to strengthen the striker~!!"

Lan Shengli watched and analyzed the team's game highlights from last season in the office.

Lan Shengli had already thought about this kind of analysis before the trade deadline, but thinking about it this time made Lan Shengli more determined.

"This time our joint trial training is mainly to investigate the forward players, especially the small forwards. Because of this year's draft, our team's draft policy is to strengthen the forward players~!!"

"This is the information and situation of all the strikers, mainly the small forwards, that I have prepared for this year's election. Take it back and have a good look at it, and then give me a report, or a copy of what you will do next. The investigation plan for the joint trial training~”

Soon, Lan Shengli called all the members of the inspection team to his office and gave instructions.

"Everyone, you must read the materials carefully when you go back, and watch some video clips I prepared in it, because our draft picks are not very high, so we have to prepare for various possibilities~!!"

While looking at the information, everyone listened to Lan Shengli continuing to talk.

Although the chief scout and Lan Shengli had some unpleasant experiences before, but now that they have come to the inspection team, they still work hard to complete the work, so they didn't say anything, and everyone began to work one after another.

According to the previous lottery drawing ceremony, the draft picks the Clippers got this season are, the eighth pick in the first round, the No.20 eighth pick in the first round, the No.20 fourth pick in the second round, and the No. No.20 is the ninth overall pick, with a total of four draft picks.

Except for the eighth pick, the other picks are actually a kind of "buying lottery tickets" in nature.

But with Lan Shengli, the probability of "winning the lottery" will definitely be greatly improved.

Three and a half weeks of preparation time passed quickly, and Chicago's annual joint trial training was about to begin.

"Let's go, after preparing for so long, it's time to go, it's time to verify the results~!"

As Lan Shengli said, the Clippers team officially set off.

The crowd soon came to the "Wind City" Chicago.

"You should investigate first here, maybe we will make some trades on draft picks in the future, after all, we still have some bargaining chips on hand~!! If we can trade draft picks up, then I will definitely do that~!!, Don't worry~!"

After Lan Shengli arrived at the hotel where he was staying, he thought about what the general manager said before leaving.

"Hey, it's best to get another first-round pick. If we have three first-round picks, then we will have more room for maneuver~!!, and try to get rid of Jamison's contract. ~"

Lan Shengli sighed.

Soon, the joint trial training will begin.

The players who are about to participate in the 2010 NBA Draft gathered in Chicago.

Although this year's draft is not as high as last year's in terms of previous publicity and player evaluation, there are also some very capable players who also have potential.

For example, John Wall, a freshman point guard from the University of Kentucky, a famous basketball school, has strong physical fitness and very fast speed. It is said that he can run 11 meters in less than [-] seconds. Emotions are difficult to control, or the freshman with a low golf quotient, DeMarcus Cousins, and a junior striker from Syracuse University, have very strong physical fitness and defensive ability, And Wesley Johnson, who has a high immediate combat power, is some of the more popular rookies.

However, as Lan Shengli said before, this time the Clippers mainly choose forward players, so for the Clippers, they only focus on the two positions of small forward or power forward.

"Derek Favors is a power forward with excellent basic skills, and he is also a space-based inside player with a certain range and excellent defensive skills, but the upper limit is not very high, and the potential is basically there. ~, there are some like a weakened version of Brand, which is not very suitable for the team~”

Here, Lan Shengli looked at the players who participated in the first day of joint trial training, looked at the familiar faces, and immediately began to analyze.

"Especially for the eighth pick, I think it is better to choose a small forward position as much as possible, and it is a small forward with a certain offensive ability. From this point of view, Gordon Hay, a sophomore white striker from Butler University Ward, African black striker Aminu from Wake Forest University, and sophomore striker Paul George from the University of California, Fresno, who is a native of Los Angeles. These three players should be the focus of the first day of investigation And all three of these players are lottery prospects~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

Although Lan Shengli is the head of the inspection team, Lan Shengli is still conducting personal inspections.

"As for Wesley Johnson, who has a high demand for the top three picks, I am not very optimistic. First of all, his desire to win is not very strong, so he may encounter a tough battle in the team, or the game is at a critical moment. It may be embarrassing and useful, and his scoring ability is not very stable, nor is it very comprehensive. If those small forwards were selected before, maybe he will consider it~”

Lan Shengli sighed.

"However, what the team needs to find now is the helper next to Harden, or the second-in-command, or the deputy helmsman of the Clippers, so it must not be some top-notch role players anymore, it must be a star-level player~ !!!”

Lan Shengli held his chin and continued to think.

The feeling of listening to Lan Shengli's speech was like preparing for the draft.

But in fact, the joint trial training has not yet started.

"However, this is all previous analysis. Perhaps through joint trial training and individual training, we can see some different player states, and maybe there will be a change in thinking~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and continued to sigh.

"Let's get started, I'm really looking forward to it~!"

The more Lan Shengli thought about it, the more excited he became.
