I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 424

I have to say that the Knicks scout does have something.

In just ten minutes of introduction, Su Ye broke into a cold sweat.

Suppose the Knicks have the top three picks.

This guy recommended that the Knicks pursue Wall vigorously and abandon Turner and Derrick Favors, who are the highest-rated outsiders.

From his perspective.

These two insiders are mediocre, and there will definitely be more like them in the NBA in the future.

If there is no Wall, pursue Cousins. This guy is a malleable talent, but he needs someone to guide him on the court.

And joining the Knicks has a top-10 pick.

Without Wall and Cousins.

He recommended Paul George from California as his first choice.

The reason is very simple. This guy has explosive athletic ability and solid basic skills. It is only a matter of time before he develops his shooting ability.

In a few years, this guy will become a ball-handler on both offense and defense, and hopefully develop off-ball abilities.

When Su Ye heard this, he already admired this scout.

There was nothing wrong with the previous third-hand recommenders.

Among the top ten picks, these three guys are indeed good choices.

"What if you can't choose these three people?"

Su Ye was also a little curious about the scout's next analysis.

The scout confidently named three names.

"If you don't have Paul George, just choose Gordon Hayward. This guy is also a good perimeter player."

"The next step down is Aldridge. Although he is slow, he has solid basic skills inside and has a high ceiling."

"If you really have no choice, take Eric Bledsoe."

"This guy is the worst choice. He is also from Kentucky, but as a small man, he can combine offense and defense, and he also has organizational skills."

"It's easy to be the second or third scorer on the team."

Su Ye also laughed loudly when he heard this.

The scout's answer was satisfactory.

It matched his initial expectations perfectly.

If he were to help the Knicks select players when there was a pick, he would definitely make the same choice as this scout.

It can only be said that this scout has a very accurate eye for people and suits Su Ye's taste very well.

Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Su Ye also followed up and asked.

"It's a pity that we only have one pick, No. 30."

"Do you have anything to recommend to people who will follow up?"

"Have!"

The scout answered decisively.

"there must be!"

This is a time for you to show off your abilities.

Perennial scouts would only be taken seriously during the draft. He was very grateful that Su Ye didn't put on any airs and chatted with him like a friend.

When this topic was brought up, the scout handed Su Ye the report he had prepared long ago and pointed it out to Su Ye in the direction of his vision.

"When I talk about choices, the first one is this guy."

"what do you think?"

"A second-round pick, the best choice."

Su Ye looked in the direction pointed by the other party.

Not far away, a tall center forward was looking around.

He is just one of the players participating in the draft tonight. As a center, he seems so ordinary among this group of people that he doesn't even feel like there is anything special.

But it was this kind of person that really made Su Ye's eyes shine.

The scout was very proud to see Su Ye's interest.

"Hassan Whiteside!"

"Freshman center from Marshall University."

"Originally, I was predicted to be in the first round before the start of the game, but later because the physical test was not very good, the actual offensive performance was not good."

"Now he's all the way down to the second round of the draft."

"It is true that this player has some problems, but there is absolutely no problem with his defensive ability."

After saying that, the scout took out more information about Hassan Whiteside from the bag.

As someone who knew ahead of time that the team had a second-round pick, he started paying attention to these players who fell from the first round early.

There is no doubt that these players are every team's favorite choice.

After all, although these players have many problems, at least they still have merit and have a chance to win a good lottery ticket in the NBA.

Su Ye took the information and looked at it.

Do not see do not know.

This scout is indeed more powerful than Su Ye imagined.

From the data template, scouts predicted that this person might be comparable to Marcus.

Poor offensive ability, especially outstanding in blocking and rebounding.

Coupled with this guy's naturally long arms and excellent height.

Even if he is not very flexible with his feet, he is still enough to rely on his excellent physical talent to serve as the team's defensive gate in the penalty area.

And it was even more impossible for Su Ye to ignore this player.

Hassan Whiteside, the big white edge, a new inside star that the Heat turned waste into treasure.

His nickname of "Big White Bian" will still be what domestic fans will call him in the future.

The reason is, the English composition of white and edge in his name, coupled with the fact that he is in the center position.

Fans prefer to call him "Big White Bian".

Su Ye closed the file folder and nodded with satisfaction.

"can."

"not bad."

The scout who received Su Ye's approval also showed a happy smile.

But then Su Ye poured a basin of cold water on him.

"But our team is not short of centers now."

"We need more immediate combat capability on the front line."

The scout froze on the spot and glanced at Dabai Bian in the distance, his eyes seeming to question Su Ye.

Why don't you pick up such a good leak?

Su Ye didn't care.

No matter how good Da Baibian is, he is still a second-round pick after all.

It would take at least three to five years to train such a clumsy player.

And now that the team already has Jordan, and will start to reuse him next season, there is no need to cultivate Da Bai Bian.

The price/performance ratio of the large white edge is indeed good.

But even if the Knicks draft this kind of player, they won't be able to use him.

"External line?"

"Outside line..."

"Wait, I'll look for it."

The scout was also rummaging through his briefcase.

Compared with other years, this year is clearly an introverted year.

Most of the inside players participating are excellent players.

Except for those top perimeter players, the other players are not that good.

The scouts did not expect that in the interior year, the team would actually need an immediate ability on the outside, and they would choose it with the No. 30 pick.

This kind of thing is impossible for any scout to accomplish.

Even when it comes to the legendary scouts who discovered James, Iverson, and Kobe, it is even more difficult to reach the sky.

But Su Ye leaned over the railing on the second floor and glanced at the 5v5 trial training that had begun over there.

In the crowd, Su Ye locked his eyes on the bench at a glance.

On the bench during the trial, a sneaky black man was wandering on the sidelines.

After waiting for a while, it was finally this guy's turn to come on the stage. As soon as he came up, he made extraordinary remarks.

"Are you Paul George?"

"The No. 1 small forward in California?"

Looking at the very arrogant man in front of him, Paul George was also stunned and could only nodded dully.

Unexpectedly, the man showed a charming and confident smile.

"just wait."

"Today is my battle to prove my fate!"

"Careful, Paul George!"

Faced with the man's reminder, Paul George also broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.

He also didn't expect that someone would dare to talk trash to him during the joint trial.

The conversation between the two people also attracted the attention of many people.

Scouts from many teams craned their necks to watch.

I want to see which player dared to provoke Paul George so arrogantly and with such arrogance.

Paul George looked at the man in front of him and became decisive and serious.

After 3 minutes, the whistle sounded.

"Blue team substitution!"

The black man who just yelled at Paul George was removed from the game.

The temporary coach in charge of substitutions next to him had a black face and looked at the opponent with eyes that looked like a lunatic.

Many of the players who came for the tryout covered their mouths and snickered.

Not far away, Paul George stood on the sidelines and shouted with a leisurely look.

"You should go back and practice again. You are not qualified to challenge me now."

Who knew that black men would not retreat but advance when faced with ridicule?

"Wait until I enter the NBA!"

"I must let you lose to me."

Paul George saw that the other party dared to provoke him, and his eyes became a little weird when he looked at the other party.

But with so many people watching around him, he could only shrug his shoulders.

"Okay, I'll be with you anytime."

"But we have to wait until you can enter the NBA."

As soon as these words came out, the people around him couldn't hold back.

There were jeers from all directions.

"Haha, I'm convinced. This guy must be mentally ill."

"He was yelling at Paul George just now. I thought he was so good, but he didn't score a single goal."

"Stop talking, 4 rounds of matchups, 0 shots, my grandma is here, can you throw one?"

"I'm laughing so hard. Where did he get the courage?"

The black man sat on the stool glumly, his eyes locked on the players who were still undergoing trial training on the field.

He knew one thing very well.

This time he messed up.

But he didn't expect that in the auditorium on the second floor not far away, Su Ye was pointing at him and smiling at the scout beside him.

"What do you think of him?"

"Lance Stephenson."

"I remember it right, that should be his name."

The scouts also witnessed the process just now.

At this moment, he couldn't understand Su Ye's brain circuit at all.

The other party is obviously a "psycho". How come we, the Knicks star, are actually interested in him?

But no matter how bad the opponent is, the scout is still very professional and talks about Stephenson in a leisurely manner.

"Lance Stephenson, who attended Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, New York, led his team to championships four consecutive years."

"He has great potential in high school. He was the Rookie of the Year in the United States in 06. However, he was unable to participate in the NBA in 08 due to age restrictions."

"09 McDonald's All-American High School First Team."

"Entered the University of Cincinnati in 09. His college performance averaged 12.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He was the No. rookie in the Eastern Conference and the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Year."

"College is only because of two games..."

……

Scouts continue to report details about Stephenson.

Su Ye became more and more satisfied when he saw the other party.

Asking scouts is just a topic.

How could Su Ye not know Stephenson.

Junior brother, as the only "James blow" in the NBA league, a man who really blows at James.

Although there are some weird things in the stadium, the strength is good.

Three-pointers after three-pointers, dribbling and dribbling, breakthroughs and breakthroughs.

There is even a good organization to connect the entire team.

Point forwards are very scarce throughout the cup.

As for the shortcomings, it must be the "nerve knife" that fans talk about.

The performance of gods and ghosts makes it impossible to figure out what kind of strength this guy has.

The main reason is that this guy has never played college basketball at all.

As a result, he lacked a lot of things in terms of "tactical system", "teamwork" and "key decision-making".

Once the tasks on this guy are heavy, he doesn't know what to do, and he can always make some ridiculous jokes.

But when it comes to strength, how could a man who broke the United States before the age of 18 and wanted to imitate Kobe and enter the NBA not have something.

What is missing can be made up for.

But nature is something that has been determined since birth.

"Su Ye, if you are optimistic about this player, I suggest you give up this idea."

The scouts who had finished reporting anxiously persuaded Su Ye.

"He is..."

"I know."

Su Ye interrupted what the scout wanted to say and asked the other person.

"There is no teamwork and unstable performance, which is not consistent with NBA players."

"These are not problems. Isn't Jordan also such a person? But isn't he doing well now?"

"But..." The scout was anxious, but was interrupted by Su Ye again.

"but?"

Su Ye suddenly glanced coldly, showing the pressure of being the number one player in the league.

"Why don't you tell me about him and Big Bird?"

As soon as these words came out, the hair on the scout's back stood on end.

Although he knew that Su Ye knew enough about the rookie, he did not expect that Su Ye would take the initiative to bring up this matter.

Lance Stephenson.

As the pride of New York City, now it is not treated well by the city of New York.

The most important thing is that his character caused a lot of unnecessary trouble, which also caused many teams to stay away from this lunatic.

He even participated in the "u18" competition back then, wanting to prove himself.

As a result, he was directly laid off by the team.

And the excuses are pretty interesting too.

Not enough chemistry.

From that moment on, everyone knew that this guy was a troubled boy.

But I have to say one thing. Before this draft, Larry Bird, the leader of the Pacers and the creator of the Celtics dynasty, named Stephenson.

As a former superstar in the league, Bird believes Stephenson has great potential.

But also because of Stephenson's lack of college basketball, no one cares what Bird said.

Coupled with the fact that the Pacers have a high probability of selecting Paul George this year, many scouts and clubs intend to exclude players that the Pacers are optimistic about.

This was originally a matter within the scouting circle, and the Knicks scouts did not expect that Su Ye would know about it.

"Su Ye."

"this problem."

"What should I say?"

The Knicks scout was sweating profusely and did not dare to look directly into Su Ye's eyes, so he could only avoid his gaze.

Su Ye didn't care about these things.

He supported the fence on the second floor with both hands and looked at the field not far away from a distance.

"We in the Knicks need a swingman who can handle the ball."

"He's a good fit."

"Send his name and ask him to come to me for a trial tomorrow."

"I am responsible for the Knicks' selection. Just do it and don't ask any questions."

The scout, who had been suppressed by Su Ye for a long time, dared to say another word and could only nod his head.

After a while.

Stephenson, who was not far away, received a text message from the scout. He was ecstatic and kept showing off to the people around him.

"I got a tryout with the Knicks."

"Do you have it? Do you have it?"

"Hahaha! This is a trial for the Knicks!"

A triumphant Stephenson showed off everywhere.

Originally, everyone around him should be envious of this kind of thing.

A championship team, coupled with the fact that it is a big city and a big football market, everyone should be envious of him.

However, because of his previous behaviors, everyone looks at Stephenson differently now.

Rather than envy, I feel sorry for the Knicks.

The next day.

In an empty arena next to Madison Square Garden.

Yesterday, the scout was sweating profusely as he trotted towards the stadium with Stephenson.

But Stephenson looked like a child who had just arrived at an amusement park. Apart from joy, most of his face was filled with curiosity.

Looking left and right, there was no sign of impatience at all.

When he was approaching the door, Stephenson wiped the nervous sweat on his forehead.

"finally reached!"

"Thank you so much."

"Thank you so much to the Knicks management for giving me this opportunity."

Upon hearing this, the scout became angry for no reason.

He glared at Stephenson fiercely and corrected him coldly.

"Thank me?"

"Thank you management?"

"Why don't you thank Su Ye."

"I really don't understand why he fell in love with you."

Stephenson was stunned.

Su Ye?

Triple Crown Champion Su Ye?

The number one player in the league, you chose me?

The news shocked Stephenson's brain cells.

Soon he was shakily following the scout into the dugout.

Su Ye did not come today, but did some basic tests for the team.

After the activity, Stephenson asked Su Ye about his schedule and learned that he would be coming tomorrow, so he left the stadium.

The scout also told Su Ye the news the next day.

"he ask me?"

"This kid is crazy."

"You won't challenge me to a duel, will you?"

Su Ye teased jokingly.

The surrounding Knicks staff also laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Stephenson pushed the door open and entered.

Originally, everyone around was looking forward to doing something with this weirdo.

As soon as the results came up, Stephenson bowed to Su Ye first, and then prepared to kneel down and worship.

That gesture.

Stephenson learned how to kowtow to the emperor in costume dramas.

"Bend it into pieces, bowl tax, pill water..."

"Stop it!!!"

Su Ye helped Stephenson up, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

He knew the other party would cause trouble.

I didn't expect this guy to do things like this.

Stephenson, who was blocked, had a puzzled look on his face, as if what he had practiced so hard so many times last night was of no use today.

This guy's eyes wandered twice in front of Su Ye.

Suddenly, Qian Mimi came up and stuffed a hard card directly into Su Ye's hand at the speed of light.

this kid.

Bank card?

Su Ye was also a little confused.

Where did he learn it from?

As a result, I opened my hand and saw "Baimajiang Business Club VIP" written on it.

This made Su Ye feel dumbfounded.

To thank myself.

This guy actually got a club gold card in New York.

What a weird brain circuit.
