Chapter 438 Scouting Daily
Choose Marc Gasol?
Everyone's impression is that Director Li is in a daze?

In fact, Marc Gasol was only selected in the second round in the original time and space. Some NBA scouts don't know enough about overseas players, and they don't know much about European players who combine technology and body.

Marc Gasol's strengths are not being seen.Now because of the relationship between my brother and Liang Zhan, I came to the mysterious East to study abroad.

Became the student of CUBA's No. [-] wealthy family, because of the traffic that Huada itself has, Gasol has received unprecedented attention.Solid shooting skills and good interior defense made him the team's starter.

However, Gasol is not without shortcomings, that is, his moving speed. Before losing weight, Gasol could not even keep up with BGI, which is known for its bombardment style.

Today's CBA games are getting faster and faster, and the offensive rounds are gradually increasing. In the 04/05 season, the average number of offensive rounds per game reached 87.5.And the hottest Suns in the NBA this season only had 96 offensive rounds.

In the latest draft forecast of the Basketball Pioneer, Marc Gasol's draft forecast is in the second half of the first round, and there is a high probability that he will be selected at the 20th pick.

Li Qiuping said that he would use the lottery pick in his hand to sign Gasol.That made Sharks scouts think it was ridiculous.If you pay attention to the insider of BGI, it must be An Xinyu, a five-star high school student in Hai Province. How could it be the Spaniard with a star brother?

But Li Qiuping also has her own point of view.

"Yao Ming's athletic talent is not very high. Could it be that they didn't know much about Yao Ming when the NBA competed for it?"

Li Yaoming was stunned by these words, because apart from Yao Ming's height and unmatched agility, other athletic statistics are considered ordinary among this year's rookies, but no matter what, Yao Ming is really placed here In the first draft, he will be named Yao ten times with the No. [-] pick.

"Director Li, you can't say anything, Dayao is different."

The scouting manager could only explain.

However, Li Qiuping continued: "The ultimate goal of selecting a player is to let him help the team win the game, not to see how well he can jump."

Li Yaoming was convinced, so this time the team decided to send a delegation to focus on three people.

The team has only one purpose, and that is to pick a good insider.

The scouting manager takes the scouts back to their department and continues the meeting in their department conference room.

Various materials were pasted on the whiteboard in the conference room, mainly a few rookies in the lottery, and there were also high-quality outside point guards like Zhejiang University Luohe.

And Zhu Siyi is also one of them, he is a professional scout of the CBA.He is a college student who graduated last year, but Zhu Siyi's first job is not a scout, but a newspaper reporter.

However, this job is not what he likes. In the end, he found this job through the friendship of his second uncle's nephew, and became a professional scout this year.

In his opinion, this job is very good, with high salary and benefits, nine to five, and many weekends and holidays.Most of the time is relatively free, except for the busy period when the draft is approaching.

The most important thing is that you can get close to the sports you like in this job.Yes, Zhu Siyi is also an avid CBA fan.

A colleague beside Zhu Siyi said, "Boss, what should we do with Director Li's suggestion?"

"Of course you have to listen! Remember, we serve the entire team. The purpose of scouting is to help the team find the talents they need. Since Director Li thinks that Gasol is the talent that the Sharks want, then we will Follow him."

The head of the department had spoken, and everyone naturally started searching for information.The final meeting decided that the department manager himself, Zhu Siyi and another colleague went to Pengcheng to watch the cuba knockout match, while another old man from the department took a deputy to Europe and America to inspect overseas players.

Other countries in Asia are not included in this investigation.

After the decision was made, everyone set off separately the next day.

The job of a scout is like this. Most of the year is spent wandering around outside. When returning to the company, it is basically a meeting, and then continue to set off.

……

In the top 32 match of Huada University, facing the weak Jiangcheng University, it once again showed its overwhelming strength.

Huada is a team with a long history and tradition of bombardment. Before the Suns became popular, they were always known as masters of chaos, winning in chaos

And Zhu Si also came to the arena early to watch the game, he came after eating a buffet.Although the scouts are wandering around, at least they have sufficient funds, and the reimbursement fee reaches 200 yuan per day, which makes Zhu Siyi very nourished when working outside.

After arriving at the stadium, he found that there were not many spectators, so he could only say that he came too early.Zhu Siyi was sure that many of them were scouts.

CBA, NBA, NBL and some overseas leagues.Now it has become the consensus of everyone to choose people in CUBA.

Watching the players on both sides of the field warming up, Zhu Siyi directly locked on Huada who was wearing a black and white jersey.

Everyone is warming up at this time, and they don't forget to show a few dunks during the warm-up to show their talents.

Among them, Ma Yunfei's big windmill dunk attracted a lot of amazement from the sidelines.

"Amazing! Who is this kid?"

"Ma Yunfei from Huada! Freshman, can you not be amazing? How about five-star high school students! There are only a few high school students in the country who are rated as five-star high school students every year."

"It's amazing, the gap between people is too big! I can't even touch the basket."

"Our generation's nutrition is not good, and they all came from starvation. Unlike them, it's easy to get dirty in the microclimate. You see, once people eat meat, they will grow taller."

"Yeah, these young people, some of them will become multi-millionaires soon."

"Don't mention it. Back then, I had to follow the boss and pretend to be a girl to chat with netizens. I probably didn't earn as much as those stars in a day."

"..."

The man on the sidelines pretending to be a girl and chatting online almost distracted Zhu Siyi, but he still made up his mind, took out his notebook and started recording.

There is a form formulated by the company, and scouts must fill in this form truthfully based on the player's performance in a game.

Unlike fans enjoying the game, scouts must refrain from paying attention to the players themselves.The professional quality that scouts need most is multitasking. Zhu Si is also a traditional media background. He has a very high sense of attention to details. Every move on the field can be caught by him. This is why the big shark The reason for bringing him here.

Scouts have a lot to remember during games.

For example, the player's defense, the choice of defense, the performance of defending out, the performance of fast break and return to defense; the choice of offensive timing, the choice of offensive method, footwork, back-up technique, face-to-frame technique of offensive players...

This match, as Zhu Siyi expected, was a one-sided match.Driven by Wang Yeju's super-powerful engine, BGI ran up and made Jiangcheng University hard to guard against.

Looking at Wang Yeju, Ma Yunfei and An Xinyu on the field, Zhu Siyi shook his head, they were all good, but the lottery in his hand made him think nothing of it.

The center and second center from Jiangcheng University's youth training are both good. They are worthy of a second-round pick. They are typical traditional center forwards, but their speed is still at a disadvantage.

After watching a game, he discovered a surprising side of Gasol, that is, smart!
He doesn't have absolute strength to help him back to the basket, and the two youth training centers of Jiangcheng University will let him get capped.But the small throws and mid-range shots outside the penalty area are surprisingly accurate, and the pick-and-roll shots with Wang Yeju are even more accurate.

And An Xinyu, who was drafted higher than him, used his physical talent to play more, and he was able to do alley-oops and violent dunks at his fingertips.But did not show excellent court IQ.

Moreover, Gasol's ability to execute tactics is very good. Zhu Siyi also found that compared with before, Gasol's speed after losing weight is faster and more flexible.

This made Gasol's defense look very good, and a few blocks on the court were impressive.

After one game, Jiangcheng University was eliminated by Huada University.

Gasol Jr. scored 9 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Zhu Si also returned to the hotel and immediately put together the collected reports to become an official scouting report.

When the manager saw the report, his eyes lit up.

"Little Zhu, are you sure this is what Gasol did today?"

Fortunately, there was a replay on Pengcheng Satellite TV, and the manager carefully observed Gasol according to the report.

That night, Li Yaoming, who was far away in Shanghai, received a call from Pengcheng.
