The God of Basketball

Frankly speaking, Coach McHearney is somewhat concerned.

If it was Li Zhen who avoided his questions like this before, he would definitely throw this guy on the bench without hesitation. But now, his choice is to show a smile, and then say: "OK, wash your tired face well. This period of time has really made you too hard."

This is the real world. When you are weak, you will find that everyone is targeting you, and everyone is fighting against you. And when you gradually become stronger, you will find that everyone is full of tolerance, kindness, and even a little flattery to you: even though they know that there is no way to get anything from you.

Of course, Li Zhen is not strong enough to allow everyone to tolerate kindness. But for Coach McHani, he is willing to accommodate Li Zhen to this extent.

No way, if you want to win, you still have to rely on him.

Moreover, Bruce Lee's fame has been too loud recently. Four consecutive incredible victories made his name frequently hit the headlines of the basketball media, and now even the Lakers general manager Kupchak is calling, hoping to visit the team's internal training game to better observe Bruce Lee .

After the Sharks traveled east, the Lakers have been struggling on the threshold of the Western Conference playoffs.

Their five positions have almost no strengths except for Kobe, especially at the point guard position, whether it is Smush Parker or Sasha Vujacic, they are useless. This season...Kobe Bryant once asked the team to make an immediate change. He couldn't wait to get an excellent point guard as a helper. For this reason, he even suggested that the team send potential newcomers to New Jersey. Because Jason Kidd, the league's second point guard, doesn't seem to be very happy with the Nets.

But in the end the Lakers still did not take the initiative. On the one hand, the Nets did not give accurate information. On the other hand, they really couldn’t let go of Bynum... because many executives believed that Bynum had the opportunity to take over the greatness of the Lakers center. inherited.

Therefore, the Lakers intend to select a good point guard in this year's draft.

Due to Kobe Bryant's prowess this season, it is basically impossible to have a lottery pick. So their eyes are on the relatively back area. The two point guards they are currently eyeing on who may participate in the draft are Lagalondo from Kentucky and Jordan Farmar from Kentucky.

Among the evaluations of many Lakers scouts, Lagalondo gave the evaluation of the poor version of Jason Kidd. Although the upper limit in the future is not high, but...it is very possible to become a qualified starter.

And Jordan Farmer's score is obviously much higher. The superstar in the Pacific Division is leading the road to greatness. Their head coach even claimed more than once that Jordan Farmer is Michael Jordan of the NCAA.

Farmar, who led the Pacific Division to the first place and averaged 18.2 points, 7.6 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, is indeed eligible to be praised.

In the Lakers' internal scouting report, it is clearly written: Farmar is one of the point guards with the best court awareness this year. He has a brilliant passing ability and an ability to read the court that is a step above the average person. He has become a leader since he entered the freshman year. This kind of temperament is quite rare in the American college basketball world where seniority ranking is serious.

Farmar is very good at controlling the rhythm of the field, knowing what speed to use to best attack opponents and help the team. He cleverly dominated the rhythm of the game through dribbling organization and completely overwhelmed the opponent's defense. In addition, Farmar is a pick-and-roll master, and he is very skilled in the selection and timing of passes, bursts, and shots. The basketball IQ is very high, and he is good at using various small moves, street skills and psychological warfare tricks. The only weakness is that his physical fitness is average, his explosive power in the first step is mediocre, and his speed, agility and strength are difficult to gain the upper hand in individual confrontations at the NBA level. But the strange thing is that he is not fast, but he bounces very well, with a maximum run-up jump of 42.5 inches! Accurate mid-range shooting,

But the three-point sight has yet to be tested. Average defensive ability.

Such a reputation almost made the Lakers executives decide to stud Jordan Farmar.

But recently...Bruce Lee from Stanford University caused an earthquake-like shock in Northern California, and brought the earthquake to the Mexican border yesterday. He actually scored a double-20 magical data in San Diego, and used a Jordan-style reversal to kill the top pick Aldridge. Led by the Longhorns.

Coupled with the repeated recommendations of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Kupchak decided to make the trip himself.

In the California basketball circle, the general manager of the Lakers has far more resources and connections than others. He found McHearney easily and got the chance to enter the scrim. This makes the scouts or assistant coaches of various teams waiting outside the door very envious.

...

Before the training started, Li Zhen carefully studied the new tactical system that coach McHaney talked about.

"This is simply the original style of play." Scott complained with a look of displeasure: "You are responsible for bringing the basketball across the half court, and then hand it over to TJ Walton for singles. I don't think this tactic can win at all."

"I think you should say no to this tactic. You know, scouts from all over America are coming to San Diego to see you, and if you don't play well in this game, they're going to leave. You're having a hard time. The high popularity you maintain will soon scatter, NCAA March Madness is changing rapidly, too many things are happening intensively, today you are the protagonist, and tomorrow a player may play an explosive performance and take away all your light!"

Thomson also came over to emphasize to Li Zhen.

Although Frank Benson is not good at words, he also strongly supports Li Zhen's courage to say no.

No one wants to play with TJ Walton, who averaged 22.4 shots per game. Everyone wants to play with Bruce Lee, who averaged 13.5 assists per game in the last 4 games.

But... in the NCAA, the head coach is the absolute authority. Those famous coaches can even cover the sky with one hand. They don't need to pay attention to any instructions from the school, and they can control the playing time of any player at will.

This is fundamentally different from the NBA, which is a commercial league. The NCAA is a league that squeezes players extremely. The head coach earns tens of millions of annual salary every year, and the players only have some meal card subsidies in some schools.

Li Zhen pursed his lips.

He plans to run to have a good chat with Coach Jamilin and Coach McHaney after today's training match.

And at this moment, TJ Wharton whistled into the locker room.

He looked quite smug.

"Guys, your king is back! Tomorrow afternoon, let me lead you across the dead bodies of Kansas and into the long-lost Sweet Sixteen!"

He was answered with indifference.

But TJ Walton didn't care.

He enjoys the feeling that all the scouts are flocking now, and he thinks that his own era is coming soon.

Thank you Bruce Lee for that hilarious idiot for bringing attention to the Stanford crimson team and... wait for me to reap all the compliments!

Those scouts who come for him will eventually send scouting reports with my name on the desks of general managers in various NBA clubs.

Just wait and see.

The NBA will be even more exciting with the great TJ Walton!
