The Fifth Point Guard

"Hey, I'm not questioning you, Murray, just look at these guys you brought in." General Manager Bernard King said, pointing to the roster, "Two have old injuries, one is emotionally unstable, and One visit is limited in time. God, can't you bring a normal person?"

Byron Scott lowered his head, puffed his cheeks, looked at the physical test data of each person, then took a long breath, raised his head and said to Hanks: "I looked through the physical test data of these four people Not bad, come on, Morrie, and tell me your reason."

Hanks looked at Jin and Scott very confidently and said: "Ordinary second-round picks can't help us at all. Look at our performance last season. It's a nightmare. We need to fight immediately Strength, that's why I brought those four guys in. They could all be first-round picks if it wasn't for the criticism."

Hanks pointed at Scalabrine.

"This guy, technically, he's average, but he's the type of player we've been missing. I've watched him for a long time, and he's a hard worker. Every day, I mean every day, he's The first guy on the court to practice, the last one to leave. He's not as talented as Stephon Marbury, but he's been working hard and willing to do anything on the court, he told me, not everyone who works hard Both are talented, but at least, hard work is useful."

Jin and Scott looked at each other, but neither said anything.

"Isn't that what our team lacks right now?" Hanks asked.

As the coach, Scott nodded first, expressing his agreement with Hanks.

"Yes, Murray, this guy's spirit is indeed worth learning from our players, but first of all, he needs to have something more special, at least on the court, didn't you say that, what we need is immediate combat Power." Scott deliberately put the word "on the court" very seriously.

Looking at Scott's staring eyes, Hanks shrugged and said, "Well, I didn't say anything, this guy has a nickname, 'Victory Cigar', according to statistics, the high school he attended With a winning rate of almost 70% in all games against the university, he is a veritable mascot of the team."

Kim slammed the table hard.

Startled Hanks and Scott.

"Why didn't you say such important information earlier, why didn't you say it earlier! This is the most indispensable player for our team."

Scott: "."

Hanks: "."

"Well, besides this guy, there is one more person I need to explain in particular."

Hanks took out relevant information about Shentong from the four.

"Actually, I'm most optimistic about this guy, the shooting guard from the Arizona Wildcats, the guy who hit the lore three-pointer in the Finals."

"Why him, his sample is not sufficient, isn't it possible that the error is large?" Byron Scott asked.

"Yeah, I thought the last mascot was good," King continued.

Hanks explained: "Yes, there is a lot of error. It may be worse than the observation I wrote, but again, this guy's strength may be more than that. I watched his game, and his long-range shooting ability is super Strong, you haven't seen it on the spot, the style of play is very provocative, can mobilize the atmosphere on the court, and has a good defense. Even if it is only an ordinary second-round pick, he is a 3D player that fits our lineup very well .”

Scott checked Fan Shentong's physical test data again.

"This guy's physical data is indeed not bad, and he looks like he has some potential, especially wow, 24 centimeters."

Seeing Jin's strange eyes

"Please, Bernard, palms, this kid has big palms."

Jin raised his eyebrows, "It's not small."

Scott quickly changed the subject and said, "Morrie, I remember that you were very optimistic about Michael Reed during the draft last year."

Hanks did not deny it, and replied: "That's right. Although this kid is a little thinner and his athletic ability is average, he is very accurate in mid-range shots. If the Milwaukee Bucks didn't take the lead, we should take him down."

"But look at that kid's performance this season, my God, he didn't make a single three-pointer, and he averaged only 2.2 points per game." Although Reed was not selected, Scott has always paid attention to the player that the Nets planned to select last year. Guy, also a second-round pick.

"Hey, this is just Michael's first season, he's only played 6 times, and in time, he won't be bad." Hanks said, "Look at Rashad Lewis, this guy is also a long-range shot The second-round pick, the first two seasons seemed to be disasters, but look at this season, averaging close to 15 points and 7 rebounds per game, shooting more than 40% of the three-pointers, and has secured the starting position of the Seattle SuperSonics. What we need are players like this, players who can really use it, not those who look like they can do everything, but in fact they can't do anything."

Hanks is worthy of being a senior scout, and two simple examples gave Scott a sense of identity.

"Guys, I still think 'victory cigars' are good." King seems to be fond of the nickname.

Scott said: "Bernard, I think Morrie is right. Look at the perimeter of our team last year. The combined shooting percentage of the two Stephens was less than 30%, which is less than 30% of our own forward players. The score is accurate, the team needs a stable outside attack point, I think Morrie is right, defense + three-pointers are the best patch for our team."

Hanks nodded and looked at Bernard King.

Seeing that Scott and Hanks had reached an agreement, Jin had nothing to say.

After all, in terms of professionalism, the general manager is definitely not as good as the head coach, let alone a senior scout.

"Okay, let's go and see how those four guys' workouts are going. Hope you two are right."

On the court of the Nets, several trainers are leading four players to practice and inspect. There are some recorders beside them who keep recording the performance of the players, and some analysts keep recording things in their notes.

Under the leadership of Hanks, Kim, Scott, and Hanks walked to Shentong's training ground together.

"Hey, Shin, stop," Hanks yelled.

Shen Tong, who was raising his legs in small steps, stopped immediately.

"This is our general manager, Bernard King, and this is our head coach, Byron Scott."

"Nice to meet you."

The three of them said a few words of courtesy.

"Shen, our Mori admires you very much and thinks you are the most suitable player for our team." Jin said, "I heard that your three-pointer is very good, can you show us?"

"no problem."

This is Shentong's specialty.

In front of a chair, Shen Tong made a three-pointer.

The tall chair did not stop Shen Tong's hand feeling at all.

King and Scott slowly opened their mouths as one ball after another was hit.

(°ο°)

Hanks wasn't that surprised.

"How was it?" Scott asked the recording staff.

"100 shots, 88 hits."

Shen Tong shook his head.

"It may be that I have been too tired recently, and my hit rate has dropped."

Onlookers: "."

After observing Shentong's three-point performance, Byron Scott, who was born as a shooting guard, immediately decided on the candidate in his heart.

Keen sense of smell.

really fragrant

That's him!
