Chapter 15 The Mystery of Auden's Election
"I'm the new scout Su Yang..."
After introducing themselves, Roy and Outlaw figured out that Su Yang was their own.
But the two were still surprised that Aldridge took the initiative to chat with him, because in the impression of both of them, Aldridge basically did not discuss topics other than basketball with his teammates, even if the topic of basketball was necessary.
"It's like this..."
Su Yang briefly recounted the whole process of greeting Ade. When talking about jump shots, he reiterated his point of view.
"With young people like you in the team, many problems can be solved better..."
Roy was full of joy, and was about to continue talking when assistant coach Dean Dempoulos rushed over excitedly.
"Brandon, come on! You must see Greg's wonderful performance..."
Roy couldn't help it, and he didn't want to save the old assistant teacher's face, so he walked over immediately.
Reminiscent of Adelaide's appearance and being ignored for a long time, Su Yang immediately understood why Adelaide would privately express that the first nine years of the Blazers' career were a bit uncomfortable when he later switched to the Spurs, and why he cared so much about Lillard's many advertisements in Portland.
This is the beginning of Ade's feeling that he was left out. He has always been the younger brother and has never been the boss.
You know, Adelaide has a higher draft than Roy, not to mention him as the core, but also a dual core.
But to be honest, Ade himself is a little sensitive, and many problems are caused by poor communication.
"If you can, I hope you can talk to my little brother more, he needs encouragement now..." Outlaw paused for a moment, turned his head left and right to observe, seemed worried about being heard, and said in a low voice: "Especially after I left .”
Su Yang raised his hand and made an OK gesture, knowing that Outlaw's contract is coming to an end and has not been renewed. It is very likely that he will become a restricted free agent after the free market opens. If there is a team with a particularly high offer, the Blazers will probably not keep him. .
If Outlaw leaves, then Aldridge will really have no friends, and the situation will be more uncomfortable.
"I remember you promised!" Outlaw patted Su Yang on the shoulder and walked away with a smile.
Su Yang went straight to the toilet, returned to the sidelines after draining the water, and naturally stood together with Roy.
Assistant coach Dean Dempoulos glanced at him in surprise and continued to talk about Oden's workout.
On the field, Oden is undergoing a fast break test.
Oden simulated grabbing a defensive rebound, turned around and passed it to the point guard played by the assistant coach, and then rushed to the paint area in the frontcourt, raised his hand to receive the pass back from the assistant coach, and aimed at the basket for a dunk. The whole process was still so full of excitement. A sense of explosive power.
Compared to before, Oden was gasping for breath visible to the naked eye, and his physical loss was much faster than that of ordinary players.
But the onlookers, as well as the coaching team headed by McMillan, didn't pay much attention to this situation.
Su Yang felt it was weird, and thought: With the Blazers playing at a slower pace than the Spurs, it is unnecessary to test Oden's fast break. If he had to find a reason, it would probably not be based on the players Test process...
The trial training in the morning ended in a blink of an eye, Oden and the staff left together, and the fans who watched the game also dispersed.
Roy and Outlaw stayed, and the two specially asked Su Yang to train together, but mainly for small talk.
While chatting, Durant was expected, and the two lamented that Durant was simply a bug.
Su Yang mentioned that Durant has unparalleled shooting ability, and the two agreed without hesitation.
In the afternoon trial training, Su Yang did not go to watch the onlookers, but stayed in the video analysis room with Bob and other scouts, facing the DV projection machine, watching Oden's high school games one after another. pour coffee.
"I think these videos have no research value..."
Su Yang said bluntly, "His body development is much faster than his peers. A center over [-] feet [-] inches, facing some opponents who may be less than [-] feet tall under the basket, his strength is also at the advantage of crushing, and he is completely unable to respond to others techinque level."
From Su Yang's point of view, Auden became famous by bullying opponents who developed slower at the same time.
Of course, the level is also there, and the potential is naturally not low, but it is far from the level of its template David Robinson.
If there is no injury impact, Oden's upper limit is probably a blue-collar All-Star like Mutombo.
"Write it in the report..." Bob replied lightly, "This job is happy to see doubts."
At the end of the first day of trial training, general manager Kevin held a meeting with the scouting team and the coaching staff to ask for opinions from both sides.
Su Yang had already told Kevin his opinion during the interview, but he still told it according to the procedure.
The more he talked, the more the five members of the coaching staff frowned, and they almost couldn't hold back their words to interrupt halfway.
After he finished speaking, several assistant coaches took turns to refute, and McMillan finally concluded that he liked Oden very much.
As for Su Yang's mention of Oden's rapid loss of physical strength and rough technique, the coaching team believes that the impact is minimal, and he can pass the NBA's advanced training method stage, but Oden has unparalleled physical fitness, which overrides everything else.
Assistant coach Bill Baino also mentioned the famous saying of the Cardinal: Only height cannot be trained...
Su Yang wanted to refute that the times have changed, but he still didn't say it.The power of the times is too strong. According to the original historical trajectory, the NBA is not so obsessed with the inside line in a true sense until the Heat's Big Three and the Warriors win the championship.
Regarding the dispute between the two parties, general manager Kevin did not make any comments, only saying that he would arrange for Durant to participate in the trial training according to the process.
...
In the next two days, Oden's trial training continued.
The problem of rapid loss of physical strength still exists, and even the onlookers pay attention to it.
Oden's agent gave an explanation, saying that Oden was suffering from a respiratory disease, which had a great impact.
At the same time, Su Yang was still analyzing the game video of Oden's college days, which was quite boring.During the break, he went to chat with the fans, and occasionally with the players who came to watch, and he quickly made everyone's impression of him.
What is more surprising is that Ade never appeared again, so it seemed that he was just going through the motions to brush his face before.
On the afternoon of NO.13, Oden's trial training ended, and the Blazers held a grand media meeting for him.
When asked if he wanted to be the next Shaquille O'Neal or Bill Russell, Oden said categorically that he wanted to be the next Russell because he wanted to win, and he wanted to win many championships. He was used to winning. .
The Trail Blazers also responded to "Sports Illustrated"'s revelations about Oden's potential injuries. Chief team doctor Roberts announced that their team does not believe that Oden has serious potential injuries, and many physical tests can prove their point of view.
That night, Durant rushed to Portland International Airport, also received a lot of media attention.
Compared with Oden, when Durant participated in the trial training the next day, the number of media reporting on the scene was greatly reduced.
There are also a lot fewer fans who enter the stadium to watch, and the Blazers seem to intend to reduce their influence.
However, not long after the trial training started, everyone on the scene was shocked by Durant's shooting ability.
Su Yang stood on the sidelines and watched silently, listening to the discussions of the fans and staff by the way.
"This guy shoots from 30 feet as easily as if he's shooting from 10 feet..."
"He made 44% of his three-pointers from five positions, and his assistant coach Monty defended very hard..."
"Assistant coach Morris was a defensive player back then, and Durant was so easy to eat alone in the low post..."
In addition to super shooting, Durant also showed very fast speed. Compared with the previous Orlando joint trial training, his sprint was improved by a full second, his jumping was also better, and he also had various guard breakthroughs. McMillan stunned.
At the regular meeting in the evening, the members of the coaching staff fell into silence. They did not expect Durant to be so fierce.
"I have to admit that Durant can play very well, the game is very easy for him, he is a player created by God to play basketball..." McMillan sighed, "But I still want to choose Oden, that is my career for many years intuition."
Monty and other assistant coaches agreed with what McMillan said, and general manager Kevin frowned when he heard that.
Su Yang was not surprised.
Because of what McMillan said, Bill Seffer, the head coach of the famous basketball school Kansas, also said: Durant is the best player I have ever seen in coaching. Will choose Oden.
The meeting was tangled, and assistant Tom Payne suddenly said: "I think Oden has a stronger desire to win. He is a natural winner. He only lost three games in his entire high school, and he only lost two games when he was injured in college...
Thinking about what he said at the media meeting, he wants to be Bill Russell more. "
As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of general manager Kevin and the coaching team lit up, as if they had found something decisive.
In terms of desire to win, Durant was not as obvious as Oden during the trial training stage.
Looking at the excited faces of the crowd, Su Yang knew that everything was inevitable.
The limitations of the times, the distribution of ball rights, the degree of favor of the coach, etc., are destined to be the No. [-] pick.
...
NO.15 In the morning, Su Yang rushed to the base again.
The trial training is still going on, but the target has become a second-round pick, and few people are watching.
He was also invited by head coach McMillan to join the Summer League team to design tactics for the players, and the main design objects were Oden, who was about to be selected as the No.
