"Gall, listen to me, this hot money is indeed a genius, and his physical fitness is at a historical level even in the NBA!" Ivanka Dukan said into the mobile phone.
"Ivanka, why are you talking about this Asian again? Didn't I say, put your mind elsewhere. Unless Asian players are as tall as Yao Ming, don't waste the team's manpower and material resources.
!" The voice on the other end of the phone seemed to have no interest in Ivanka Dukan's proposal.
"No, Gal, you believe me, although this guy is not as tall as Yao Ming, his physical fitness..."
"Okay, okay!" the current general manager of the Bulls, Garr Foreman, said impatiently: "I have already read the player information you gave me, and I still say the same thing. Our team is now
This Asian is not needed.”
"Wha, what? Gal, are you sure you have carefully read the player information I sent you? For such a potential stock, spending a first-round pick will definitely make you money. You..."
"Ivanka, don't you want me to give you face?" Hearing Ivanka Dukan still chattering and recommending "hot money" to herself, Gal Forman's voice was instantly unhappy, and he said directly
Interrupted Ivanka Dukan and said: "Ivanka Dukan, I think you are relying on your seniority to rely on your seniority! Now that you can't find potential players, you are using this kind of bullshit fake news to try to stall me! You see
Look at the player information you gave me! The wingspan is 7 feet 9 inches, the standing reach is 9 feet 9 inches, and the running jump is 39 inches. Forget about these, what the hell is this maximum reach of 13 feet? The key is that he is still Chinese.
People, oh, Chinese, this is simply insulting my IQ!!! Ivanka Dukan, do you really think I am an idiot???"
"But Gal, everything I said is true! Although the physical test report seems a bit exaggerated, I can guarantee that there is absolutely no false news from top to bottom in this information! Believe me, as long as we take off his
, the renaissance of our Bulls team is just around the corner!"
"That's enough!!!" Gar Foreman angrily rebuked: "I will never accept the idea of using the team's first-round pick to select a Chinese center who is not 220cm tall! This matter has come to an end.
At this point, if you mention it to me again, you can go directly to the finance office to collect three months' salary!" After saying that, there was a "beep" sound on the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that Gal Forman hung up.
Cut off the phone.
"Shit! This idiot! This idiot!!!" Ivanka Dukan hung up the phone when she saw the other party and shouted angrily.
At this moment, Gar Forman, who was far away in the Windy City, was sitting on a leather swivel chair and sneered disdainfully. He only heard him say: "Ivanka, this old guy, wants me to embarrass myself in front of my boss? There is no way.
! I, Garr Foreman, will definitely let you know that under my leadership, the Chicago Bulls can still become a dynasty team and can still make history! I'll go to hell with all the Chinese and hot money!
As long as I can help Derrick Rose, I can become the godfather of the new generation of Chicago Bulls!!!"
Throughout January, the Lakers' record did not improve. It was only after defeating the Hornets on the last day that their record was 12 wins and 9 losses. If it were a weak team, the winning rate might be acceptable, but if it were replaced by the Lakers who are preparing to rush to the championship, it would be embarrassing.
It doesn't look that good up there.
However, Tang Qian's Los Angeles defenders are still very strong. They have lost less than 4 games in total. Their position as the leader of the Western Conference is firmly established.
But now the focus of the entire NBDL has long since shifted to another matter.
That's Showcase.
Friends who are called ShowBDL must have heard about it. This is the biggest focus of the NBDL league in a season. In the hearts of NBDL players, the All-Star Game, the playoffs, and the finals are not half as important as this Showcase. Why do you say that?
?This is due to the nature of the NBDL alliance.
To put it bluntly, the NBDL league is a springboard league.
A large number of players join it, not for MVP or championship. Most athletes have only one purpose.
That is to use this as a medium to finally set foot in the holy land of basketball, the NBA.
Otherwise, how tempting are you to think that the third-tier broken contract in NBDL is so tempting?
If you go to any European league or Asian league to make money, you will make much more money than here.
If this is the case, then why do so many players break their heads and want to join the NBDL every year?
To put it bluntly, it is to earn big money and big contracts.
To put it nicely, it is for opportunities and dreams.
Compared to the NBA draft, which has a pitifully small number of participants every year, this place actually provides a broad stage. And every year, it is true that a large number of people are signed by the NBA and become members of that supreme hall.
.So no matter how low the salary is and how bad the treatment is, there will always be an endless stream of people coming to this league to try their luck. Furthermore, even if there is really no hope of entering the NBA in the end, the players who come out of the NBDL are all outsiders.
The big leagues are competing for each other, so although the turnover of NBDL league personnel is high, they are always full of vitality, ambition and vitality.
Especially during this Showcase, everyone is even more motivated and wants to show up in front of major scouts and even general managers. There is no other reason. During this period of Showcase, NBA teams have the highest probability of signing contracts.
At the same time, it is also the biggest. Under the temptation of this "big prize", who can not use the strength to suck milk?
Even some of the Defenders' substitute players have become "excited" and full of energy these days.
On February 2nd, this season's Showcase will start in Los Angeles, and as the organizer of this event, the Defenders naturally occupy a certain geographical advantage. At least the hardship of traveling and traveling is eliminated.
"Tang, the showcase is tomorrow, aren't you nervous?" Travis Heyman looked at Tang Qian and asked.
"Well, it's okay, I didn't pay much attention." Tang Qian's entire mind was now focused on the Chicago Bulls. As for the Showcase, he somewhat ignored it.
But others are different from Tang Qian. They are all gearing up, waiting to perform well on the Showcase stage, and then be favored by the goddess of luck, and an NBA team will sign them away.
"Don't pay much attention? Oh.my.god~hot, are you kidding? This is the most important day for the entire NBDL league. How can you face it with this attitude?" Regarding Tang Qian's reaction, Travi
St. Heyman was extremely surprised, because in his opinion, Tang Qian's behavior was not normal at all.
"It doesn't matter, we're all playing games anyway, what's the difference?" Tang Qian dribbled the ball and replied calmly.
"Of course there is a difference! And the difference is huge!" Travis Heyman was afraid that Tang Qian wouldn't understand, so he patiently explained: "Hom, I can tell you, during those five days, there was no
Teammates, only opponents!"
"There are no teammates, only opponents? What do you mean?" Tang Qian was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Showcase, do you know what we call it privately?"
"What?"
"Big data day." Travis Heyman said.
"A data-swiping day?" Tang Qian was startled and said, "What is a data-swiping day?"
"It means that within those five days, everyone had only one thought in their mind..."
Looking at Travis Heyman's expression, Tang Qianming realized: "You mean, brush the data?"
"Bingo!" Travis Heyman said: "I even get so excited that I will ignore the victory or defeat of the team and just focus on scoring points and assists!"
"Brush points and assists?" Tang Qian caught something and asked quickly: "Travis, is anyone brushing rebounds and blocks?"
"Rebounds? Blocked shots?" Travis Hyman thought for a while and said: "It seems that not many people are doing this. After all, rebounds and blocked shots are not as eye-catching as scoring, and these two statistics are not what you think.
You can get it with just a swipe.”
"Then I understand." Tang Qian smiled.
"What do you understand?" Travis Heyman asked.
Tang Qian smiled and replied: "I understand what data I should brush during those five days."
"You mean..." Travis Heyman said a little surprised.
"That's right." Tang Qian nodded and said, "In this way, the team's victory will be guaranteed, right?"
On February 2, 2012, this season's NBDL Showcase officially started at the home court of the Los Angeles Defenders.
Different from the normal NBDL regular season, these five days will be a centralized melee. As mentioned before, the NBDL is different from the NBA. The team's funds are limited, so most of the games are in the same district or neighboring districts.
But today, the situation is different. Since all the NBDL teams are gathered together, teams that are particularly far away also have the opportunity to compete. Furthermore, this Showcase is different from Tang Qian’s imagination.
, it has very strict competition specifications. Why do you say that? Even though the competition only lasts for 5 days, Showcase actually has a selection event for the best team, which is divided into best first team, best second team, and best team.
Third team and MVP. Of course, they are independent and do not overlap with the honors of the entire season.
Moreover, the game time has also been changed. Different from the usual competition in the evening, in order to save time, the games will start in turns starting in the afternoon and will not end until all teams have played two games.
"Hot, did you see that, those are the scouts from the Charlotte Bobcats, the third row over there are the scouts from the Atlanta Hawks, the fourth row from the left are the scouts from the Minnesota Timberwolves... Oh, that guy in the middle
, he is Ernie Grunfield, the general manager of the Washington Wizards! I didn’t expect him to come in person!” After a long introduction by Travis Hyman and Tang Qian, he said excitedly:
"It seems that this Showcase will sign a lot of people again! I remember last season's Showcase, 11 players were directly signed away on the first day. I wonder if this number can be refreshed this time?"
11 players were signed in just one day? It seems that this showcase is quite magical!
Forget it, it doesn't have much to do with you anyway, just try your best to help the team win.
Just as Tang Qian was thinking about it, a familiar "dang" sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
Responsibility, task?
Tang Qian entered the "different space" and saw clearly on the small white card:
Selected as the best first team in this Showcase, you will get your first professional honor. Success will reward you with a random card, and failure will randomly deduct an ability crystal brick.
PS: Writing this chapter took too much time to look up information, and there is very little Chinese information about NBDL’s Showcase. Xiao Zi even had to browse some English websites to find information. For Xiao Zi’s sake, I have written so far.
Please give me some favorites and recommendations~~~I burst into tears~~~
