"The tentative candidates this time are Marcus Fizer of the Santa Cruz Warriors, Marcus Landry of the Reno Bighorns, Kuhl Daye of the Austin Bulls, and the Los Angeles Defenders
The team's hot money." Bonnie Laughlin sat in the room and looked at the game information of these people carefully. While reading, she whispered in a low voice: "Marcus Fizer is special.
Being physically strong and having experience in NBA games can minimize the time of discomfort. The disadvantage is that you are older, your physical functions decline quickly, and you haven’t played in the NBA for many years, so you don’t know.
Whether he can adapt to the game quickly? Furthermore, this person's off-field life is a problem. He has been sentenced and banned for illegal possession of guns. This must be considered."
Bonnie Laughlin changed a piece of information paper, then lowered her head and continued: "Marcus Landry, the younger brother of Carl Landry, was once selected for the NBDL All-Star team. He has a good physique and should be able to be very good.
Quickly adapt to the level of competition in the NBA. The disadvantage is that he is not tall enough to play a top-notch position, his skills as a small forward are not comprehensive enough, and his height is too disadvantageous to play as a power forward. He is a player who cannot please either player."
"Kul Daye, the scoring leader of the Austin Bulls, is tall at 212cm, and has good agility and athletic ability. His average score of 25.5 points per game is a good proof. The disadvantage is that the offense is strong and the defense is weak, and rebounding is
His ability to protect the ball and the basket is extremely poor, and he is not in line with the type of interior line the Lakers urgently need now, and I am not optimistic that his offensive ability can be used in the NBA."
"Next."
"The center of the Los Angeles Defenders is hot money, haha, what a tongue-in-cheek name! He is a Chinese newcomer who has just joined the NBDL this season. There is no information about his previous professional games, but it is precisely because of his joining that the Los Angeles Defense
The team's performance has improved by leaps and bounds this season, from being the last to become the leader in the Western Region, and even looking at the entire NBDL league, it is one of the few strong teams." Bonnie Laughlin looked at this information sheet and said to herself.
: "Such a talent has appeared in my team? It seems that I, the deputy general manager of the defense, have not done a good job! Do I have to put some of my energy in the future?"
Since the Defenders were previously a bad team in the NBDL, Bonnie Laughlin was just a member of the team, and had almost never received any real attention or intervention. Therefore, regarding Tang Qian's appearance, she was
This is also the first time I discovered it.
"China's hot money, the temporary leader in rebounds and blocks in the NBDL this season, his ability to intimidate the inside is very good as I saw in this game, and he knows how to pass and coordinate. This is exactly what the Lakers need from an inside man.
.But..." Bonnie Laughlin frowned and said: "His body is too light and thin, and his height of over 7 feet is only 231.48 pounds (because Tang Qian's latest trial training physical test data has not been leaked)
, so what Bonnie Laughlin saw was the data when Tang Qian first joined the NBDL), which is really a disadvantage in the NBA's inside confrontation, even if he has an amazing wingspan and in-situ touch.
It’s useless to be high. Furthermore, he is an Asian. Judging from the performance of Asians on the basketball court, durability and patience are both big problems. Maybe he will be completely scrapped due to injury within a short time. This is a problem.
Big hidden danger.”
Bonnie Laughlin's analysis is very detailed and serious. In fact, she is still holding her breath because the NBA scouting industry has always felt that she is just a "flesh and blood". Apart from her figure and skills in bed, she has no professional skills at all.
She doesn’t have it, so no peer thinks highly of her. In order to prove that she is not just a show-off, Bonnie Laughlin has been working hard to learn relevant knowledge and skills since she entered this industry in 2008, but she has been unable to do it until now.
What kind of results? This is definitely a career stain that she can't bear! Bonnie Laughlin's heart is not what the world imagines. In addition to being coquettish, she is also showing off. She is the only person who has entered the NBA team management from a cheerleader.
Will a woman be an ordinary person? Although she is a woman, she is also extremely eager to succeed and become a respected big shot in the United States.
Therefore, when she came to NBDL to select players this time, she clearly knew that Mitch Kupchak had no good intentions, but she still firmly accepted the job. The purpose was to feel proud and prove that she was not Bonnie Laughlin.
A woman who only relies on nepotism!
However, it is not easy to do this job well, because once you mess up, Mitch Kupchak will take the opportunity to attack you and take strong measures to suppress you! For your own ideals and ambitions, you must also
In order not to embarrass old Bass, she was desperate this time and was bound to win.
"No matter what, let's get in touch for the time being, so as not to end up with everything being signed away by someone else." Bonnie Laughlin made a decision after thinking about it.
Tomorrow is the last day of Showcase. Since the Defenders’ players have had enough rest, they are all gearing up and ready to go. When training in the arena that night, Kareem Rush proudly announced: “Everyone
Everyone, the Minnesota Timberwolves had preliminary discussions with me yesterday. They said they are very interested in my game, so they have not ruled out the possibility of signing me."
"Really? Congratulations, Kareem. Don't forget us if you enter the NBA in the future!" Travis Hyman said.
"Of course, of course, I, Karim, will never forget you, please rest assured." Karim Rush replied with a proud look on his face.
"Tch! Damn it! Why haven't any NBA teams contacted me? I obviously have better statistics than him???" Andre Ingram said with great resentment.
"Oh, Andre, don't be discouraged. If you perform well tomorrow, you may have a chance. You may not know!" Karim Rush comforted him in a "fake" voice.
"Hmph!!!" Andre Ingram snorted angrily and said: "I tell you Kareem, don't get too proud too early. The Timberwolves are just interested in you now, not
I've already signed you, but this cooked duck can still fly. It's better not to be too optimistic about this matter."
"You..." Karim Rush was about to get angry, but suddenly he held back and instead smiled teasingly and said: "Andre, Andre, no matter what I do, someone has come to ask,
But what about you? Hahahaha, it seems there isn’t one yet, right? You and I are not on the same starting line now, wait until someone asks you and then start arguing with me!"
"Kareem, you... just wait for me. I will definitely score 50 points in tomorrow's game to let you know how good I am!!!" Andre Ingram loudly "declared war".
"Really? Then I will score 51 points tomorrow, no matter what, it cannot be less than you!" Karim Rush said without showing any signs of weakness.
"Then I want to score 60 points!!!"
"Then I will score 61!!!"
"I want 70 points!!!"
……………………
Tang Qian didn't feel much about the scene before him, because as long as he could participate in the draft, he could legitimately join the Bulls. Such a "working environment" would be much better than joining the NBA like this.
But that night, Tang Qian received a strange call. The voice on the other end of the phone was a mature woman's voice, which was very emotional.
"Hey, who are you?" Tang Qian asked.
"Hi, hello, China Perm, I'm Bonnie Laughlin, I'm the scout sent by the Los Angeles Lakers for this Showcase." The person on the phone spoke very directly, getting straight to the point at the beginning: "I see
I learned about your NBDL season data and the game on February 2nd. To be honest, I am very interested in you."
Los Angeles Lakers scout???
After Tang Qian was stunned, he said, "Nice to meet you. I didn't know you were looking for me, Ms. Laughlin..."
"The purpose of my search for you is very simple. I want you to join the Los Angeles Lakers. Of course, the premise is that you still have to excel in tomorrow's game." As if she expected what Tang Qian would say, Bonnie Laughlin answered directly.
.
Originally, Bonnie Laughlin thought that Tang Qian would be like the others before and would jump up for joy when hearing the news, but the fact was that Tang Qian fell into a slight silence.
After about four or five seconds, Tang Qian slowly said: "I'm very, very sorry, Ms. Laughlin, I think I can't agree to your request."
Wha, what??? This Chinese, he actually rejected his proposal??? What does this mean???
Tang Qian's answer made Bonnie Laughlin stunned. After a while, she asked "w, why?"
Tang Qian still remembered Ivanka Dukan’s advice after the trial that day, not to reveal the fact that the Bulls were planning to choose him, so he could only apologize to Bonnie Laughlin again: "It's very disappointing.
Sorry, Ms. Laughlin, I can’t tell you why.”
w, what??? I was rejected by him like this??? Is this still the NBDL league??? Isn’t everyone trying to get the chance to sign a contract??? Why is he here...
While Bonnie Laughlin was distracted, Tang Qian said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Laughlin, for wasting your time." After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone.
Phew~ Are the Los Angeles Lakers interested in me? That’s the Los Angeles Lakers! Alas, if I hadn’t agreed to Mr. Ivanka Dukan in advance, I would have almost been moved!!!
Forget it, forget it, stop thinking so much, take a shower, sleep, and then prepare well for the last day of competition.
Just after Tang Qian hung up the phone, Bonnie Laughlin was in a daze for a while. After nearly a minute, she gradually came back to her senses and said, "Here, this guy actually hung up on me? Why,
Why? Doesn’t he want to play in the NBA? Are the minds of Easterners so difficult to understand???"
Bonnie Laughlin struggled with this matter throughout the night, and did not fall asleep slowly until three or four o'clock in the morning.
On February 6, the Los Angeles Defenders faced the Austin Bulls.
"Hey, I heard that you are also being scouted. Is it true?" A short guard from the Austin Bulls asked while dribbling the ball.
"That's right, isn't it the same for you? I heard that the San Antonio Spurs are still looking for you?" Another tall player from the Austin Bulls responded calmly.
"Yes, but this game is the key. If I don't perform well, maybe they won't sign me." said the short defender.
"So what do you want to say? Do you want me to give you the opportunity to perform today?" The tall player of the Austin Bulls shook his head coldly and said: "I'm sorry, that's impossible, because whether I can sign with the NBA this season, that's all.
Let’s watch the next game.”
"Really?" said the short defender: "Then let's each rely on our own abilities!"
"Okay, this is exactly what I want!" The tall team member replied coldly.
Is this the super strong team of the NBDL this season, the Austin Bulls? Tang Qian looked at the opposite half while warming up.
When it comes to the dark horses in the NBDL this season, in addition to the Los Angeles Defenders, the Austin Bulls must also be considered.
Until now, the Austin Bulls are one of the few teams that can compete with defenders in terms of record, so there is no doubt about its strength.
The Austin Bulls are one of the few dual-core teams in the NBDL. Center Kuhl Daye is 25 years old this year. He has very strong scoring ability and his height is 212. One of the templates for center offense in the BDL. Point guard Justin Dentmon, although
He is only 183cm tall, but he also has strong scoring ability. This season, he averaged only 14.1 shots per game but was able to score 23 points. He moves very fast, has a strong physique, and has good mid-range and long-range and three-point shooting.
PS: The Austin Bulls changed their name to the Austin Spurs in 2014, but this book is now in 2012, so the old name is still used. This Justin Dentmon is currently in the CBA. Friends who often watch the CBA should know something.
You may have heard it, but he did sign 10-day short contracts with the Spurs and Raptors in 2012. This is true.
