NBA basketball rhythm monster

As the largest sports event in the United States, the NCAA is so important that even the NBA has to suspend play for one day to make way for the finals.

Although the excitement of the Final Four games did not reach this level, the crowded American Airlines Center was filled with people two hours before the game started.

Franklin Barton was lucky. As a scout for the NBA Celtics, he was not involved in the complicated and lengthy ticket purchase process at a venue where tickets were hard to come by. He was directly arranged by the NCAA official as a league worker.

Remaining media area.

This area is open and has a good view. You can also get a bottle of mineral water or a glass of beer from the vendor for free. In the eyes of fans, this is a good location that cannot be exchanged for a million dollars.

Of course, it would be nice if I didn't have these colleagues around me.

In the process of hunting, the biggest role of hounds is not to bite and knock down the prey, that is what hunters do. Their value is to use their excellent sense of smell to search for every unusual smell.

Scouts play the role of hunting dogs in the entire basketball ecological chain.

Barton met no less than five colleagues from the NBA in this small area. Since the circle was so small, there was no embarrassment at all when everyone met. Instead, they greeted each other and asked about the information they had collected so far.

intelligence.

Barton knew very well that the only information that could be exchanged on the stage was bad news. Really valuable information would be covered up tightly by colleagues who were smarter than monkeys.

Seeing such a happy look, Barton couldn't help but yawn. Out of boredom, he took out Li Luo's scouting report and read it alone.

To be honest, as an old man who worked as a Celtics scout during the days of Cardinal Arnold Auerbach, Barton has seen all kinds of talents, some with explosive scores, some with strong bodies.

, there are some who are good at organization, but I have never seen a strange and unique player like Li Luo.

Olajuwon only chose basketball when he was fifteen years old, but he already had many years of handball skills, so the transformation is not an exaggeration.

But according to information, Li Luo had never received relevant basketball training before college. When he was a freshman, his body suddenly jumped up by nearly 15 centimeters. Then he chose to join the Longhorns and reached this year's NCAA semifinals.

.With data of 19.7 points, 7 rebounds and 5.5 assists, he would be the number one pick in the draft in this young year.

It's too far off the mark and belongs to yes.

The Celtics' draft picks this year were not very good. Due to the outstanding performance of the two Celtics stars Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker, the team once again entered the Eastern Conference finals after many years. This made the team

I'm afraid the lottery order is not very good.

Although it looks like the dynasty is about to be revived, the entire Celtics management understands that the strong west and weak east are overwhelming every Eastern team. At the beginning of the millennium, even if they broke out of the Western Conference

, he was still being controlled by that shark.

Now, the Sharks are showing a slight decline, but the situation has not improved at all. The Sacramento Kings are eyeing them, the San Antonio Spurs are eager to take the throne, and the situation in the Western Conference this year is even more treacherous. No team can guarantee that they can break out.

West. (The West in the 2002-03 season was terrifying. The sixth place in the West and the first place in the East had the same record. Six teams had 50 wins.)

Thinking of this, Barton couldn't help but sigh. The Celtics' glory has really been dim for too long.

The game was about to start, and Button quickly collected his wandering thoughts and focused on the competition field.

Regarding this game, the result of the Celtics team's analysis is that the Texas Longhorns have a certain advantage in the game. After all, they have two strong points, Li Luo and TJ Ford. If they perform normally, they will have a certain advantage.

At critical moments, you still have to rely on the stars to resolve the game.

There are no outstanding talents on Duke's side. Although they have relied on team play to get here, there is no player who can make Barton feel bright. If he is selected, will he have to train in the team for five or six years?

Here we have to talk about what a valuable player is in the eyes of scouts.

The team holding the draft pick needs to choose the right player according to its own situation, usually two types,

One is immediate combat ability, which can be used immediately and can be quickly integrated into the team to play a role. This kind of players are generally older and have usually polished their skills in college.

The typical player is Old Duncan. Judging from his appearance, Duncan seems to have turned thirty when he entered the NBA. After a twenty-year career, he retired at the age of forty. I have to say that he

The Spurs' selection of the No. 1 pick was truly worthwhile. Within a few years of drafting him, they led Robinson to win the first championship in the team's history.

(This is where Larry Brown’s attitude towards Milicic comes from. The Pistons’ performance was based on their hope of competing for the championship. After the management managed to get a second pick, Larry Brown’s attitude was to sell it in exchange for stars to compete for the championship.

As a result, the management did not allow it. Once Milicic arrived in the Pistons, which was full of big brothers, he couldn't even play. You can't expect him to steal the playing time of two Wallaces. He also had to be beaten by the coach every day. It would be strange to be able to play.

.)

The second type is to focus on talent. James from Cleveland in the 2003 class is the best example. From a God's perspective, no matter which team wins the No. 1 pick this year, James must be the first choice.

It is said in the world that there are people who are called by the wrong name and not given the wrong nickname.

As a high school student, James is known as the Chosen One. He is famous for his incredible physical fitness, excellent vision control, and sophisticated golf intelligence. Except for a slight difference in shooting, he is simply perfect.

The same example is Durant. Teams that choose players this way usually have very bad results, and I'm afraid they can't hope for the playoffs. Then I'll just focus on cultivating rookies and just fail. If you win more than 30 games, it will count.

I'll lose.

I'll give you buffs to see how much talent you can use.

Is it good to have unlimited fire rights? Yes, you can shoot if you want. The coach will never BB. If BB, I will also fire the coach.

Want more ball rights? No problem, the tactical board is given to you and you draw it.

Want a last-minute buzzer beater? That's great, that's what superstars should do.

(During his rookie season, he averaged 20.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1 steal, and 0.9 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 43% and a three-point shooting percentage of 28.8%. He looks like a big cancer. This is how he builds up his accuracy step by step.

of death.)

In short, a talented rookie can grow as fast as a rocket in just two years.

Pair it with a few helpers, and you have a super strong team.

Barton positioned Li Luo in the top five in the draft. He has a smart mind and good static talent. However, Li Luo also has considerable weaknesses.

His running and jumping skills don't seem to be up to standard, and he rarely dunks. Even if he has a high speed to make up for it, his dynamic talent seems a bit weak on the battlefield with long players in the paint.

His shooting is average, and he can reach the normal level of an NCAA insider without a lot of training. His shooting percentage is questionable in the NBA.

With many doubts and expectations, the game began. Button wanted to take a good look at this big man from China.
