Skip college and go straight to the NBA?

And Kobe Bryant and Su Feng together?

"Interesting, interesting."

In the stands, looking at Kobe Bryant, who was holding the championship trophy high in the center of the Capital Gymnasium, and Su Feng next to Kobe, Jackson, a scout of the Miami Heat, touched his chin and smiled.

"I ..... I said guys, though I ...... I know it's ...... It's big news.

But...... But we don't ...... with those journalists Different, I ..... We can ...... There's no need to grab the news.

Listen...... Listen to me, ...... Why don't you all talk about it...... Self...... Myself to Kobe Bryant and SHU..... What does Shufen think? ”

Sitting in the back row of Jackson, the stuttering scout Foyman suddenly proposed.

"Okay, so who will come first?"

"Let Erwin come first, after all, this is his home turf."

"Erwin, remember Sean Bradley at the University of Birmingham? Ha ha! ”

"Why are you guys so bad? What's bad about people Shaun Bradley?

Isn't that ...... Poof, I can't make it up, you guys. ”

In the stands, who is being ridiculed by his peers at this time, it is the "former" chief scout of the Philadelphia 76ers, and the current chief scout...... Assistant Scouts –

Ervin Martinez.

What a bunch of hateful bastards!

It's been three years, and I'm still mentioning that!

Is it another three years, you still have to mention it!

At this moment, Erwin's state of mind was broken.

Because in the summer of 1993, it was under his strong recommendation that the Philadelphia 76ers, who held the list of eyes, chose to be as tall as 229 centimeters......

The bamboo pole nicknamed "the essence of human riding buckles" -

Sean Bradley.

Well, the 76ers were the perfect match for avoiding all the right options in the 1993 draft.

Because of Bradley's height of 229 centimeters, as well as his humble, low-key, and gentle personality, the 76ers decided to gamble on him.

It's a pity that no matter how diligent Bradley is, he can't eat fat no matter how much he eats......

In addition to being able to make countless beautiful girls salivate, on the basketball court, he can really only write a miserable word with a capital letter.

Perhaps no one is more popular in the NBA than Bradley in this era.

Because as long as you search for his name on YouTube, all you can search for is "Bradley's top ten classics are detained", "You haven't ridden Bradley, and you are embarrassed to say that you are a dunking?" and other videos.

Bradley, who is "fairy wind bones", with his thin body, has raised the quality of dunks in the NBA era to a whole level.

Erwin's judgment was problematic, the main problem being that he was too superstitious about Bradley's height of 229 centimeters.

In the future, ESPN has counted such an interesting set of data.

At the time of Da Yao's retirement, in the NBA, there were 15 players who were more than 221 cm tall.

Of those 15, five have only played more than two seasons.

Among these 15 people, there are only two who have averaged 20+ points per game in a season, namely Ralph Thompson and Yao Ming.

In addition, among these 15 people, there are only three who have averaged 10+ rebounds per game in the season, they are: Sabonis, Thompson, Yao Ming.

Isn't it a surprise?

Isn't it a surprise?

This is perhaps the best refutation of those who believe that Da Yao only plays by his height.

The NBA has never lacked giants.

But among players over 221 cm, Da Yao's shoulder width, hip circumference, agility, coordination, and speed are rare in a century.

Not every little giant is named Yao Ming.

Because the American version of the little giant Bradley told the world with practical actions that the NBA is not because you are tall, modest, gentle and polite.

It's a superhuman alliance.

It's an alliance of the jungle.

So, after Bradley brought Philadelphia fans despair time and time again, Erwin lost his position as chief scout.

If it weren't for the 76ers' owner remembering Ervin's years of hard work, he might not even be able to keep his job as an assistant scout for the lead scout.

And since then, Erwin has changed.

He began to become self-conscious.

He began to like to borrow comments from the media or his peers because he felt that he had lost his judgment as a scout.

In order to get a meal, he chose ......

Mix.

After all, a job with a stable income is too important for Erwin, who now has a family and children.

However, I don't know why......

Since receiving orders from John Lucas to write him three reports a week on Kobe Bryant and Su Feng, Erwin feels ......

Your own damn judgment......

It's back again.

At this moment, looking at his peers who were laughing at him, Erwin thought to himself: You guys just laugh.

I-no-in-care!

"Let me start with my opinion of Kobe.

He is technically well-rounded and physically gifted.

In his freshman and sophomore years of high school, he played five positions on the court.

In addition, in the fourth year of high school, his organizational skills have improved significantly.

So, I don't think Kobe Bryant should be in the top 12 in the first round if he skips college and goes to the NBA.

Let's talk about my opinion of Sue.

Sue has an enviable pair of big hands and long arms.

His outstanding static talent allows him to defend from the No. 1 to the No. 5 position in the high school league.

In addition, he is a superb shooter, and not long ago he hit 10 three-pointers in a single game.

At the same time, he is also the leading scorer in Pennsylvania this season, and it is clear that he has worked his offensive skills in the summer.

So, I think, if Sue skipped college and went to the NBA......

I'm willing to gamble his future with the top 24 picks in the first round. Erwin looked at his peers and said.

"A first-round top twelve, a first-round top twenty, Elwin, you know what you're talking about?

This is not 1993, this is 1996!

Do you know how many talented young talents are running this year? ”

Scout Adams shook his head, then said his opinion:

"I'll admit, both Sue and Kobe have a lot of good points.

But Sue, for example, is the Pennsylvania scoring champion this season......

But I've seen his offense, which is mainly based on catch-and-shoot jumpers, pull-up and turn-over jumpers.

In the high school league, Sue relied on her physical talents, of course, she could crush her peers, but what about the NBA?

He lacks offensive means and the ability to play with the ball as an outside player.

Therefore, I think Sue deserves at most the middle of the second round. ”

"I agree with Adams."

"I second."

"But......" Elwin tried to argue something, but on the side, Jackson grabbed him.

"Adams has a point." Jackson smiled.

"However, I have a very interesting piece of information that I would like to share with you here." Jackson suddenly sold Guan Zidao.

On the side, Foyman was anxious, "You..... You...... Yes...... Talk fast...... Say! ”

"Did you know that in late November, Philadelphia 76ers head coach John Lucas went to Raul Melion?" Jackson said.

Cut!

I thought it was some big news!

John Lucas lives in Philadelphia and goes to watch Kobe and Su Feng play, isn't it a normal thing?

"Don't worry, listen to me, you know, this time John Lucas is accompanied by Jerry Starhouse." Jackson added.

"Is that the North Carolina genius? Michael's younger brother? ”

"I also went to see him play, quite a talented young man."

"But what does this have to do with Sue and Kobe?"

Jackson spread his hands, "It's a big deal, because in Raul Merion, Jerry invited Sue and Bryant to have a bullfight with him."

And guess what? ”

“......”

Looking at Jackson's sell-out face, almost all the scouts secretly cursed the United States in their hearts.

"Sue and Kobe, both won Jerry!" Jackson laughed.

"It can't be! How could Jerry ......"

"Where did you get the news?"

"Is the information accurate? Is there a video? ”

"Nothing is impossible, the intelligence is certainly accurate.

As for the video, I don't. Jackson said, looking at the crowd.

Ha?

There is no video, so how dare you say it......

"Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, you can ask Erwin.

And you can look at the Chinese media reports. Jackson smiled and patted Erwin on the shoulder.

"Chinese media? They probably want to build momentum for Su in this way, right? One scout guessed curiously.

"Is that necessary? You can also ask Raul Melion's players privately, they were all there that day. Jackson added.

"But this ......"

"Elwyn, is this true?"

"Sue and Kobe, really beat Jerry?"

In the stands, watching everyone look at him again, Erwin was a little confused.

No, don't be surprised, Erwin's confusion is not that everyone is looking at him, but ......

How did this get around?

On the other side, Martin, the scout of the Los Angeles Lakers, was also stunned,, where did Jackson know about this news?

Could it be that we have an inner ghost?

You know, the reason why Martin knew that Su Feng and Kobe Bryant had won against Starkerhouse in heads-up was because of his nephew Swatez......

went to school at Raul Melyan, and was teammates with Su Feng and Kobe.

Erwin knew that this news seemed normal to Martin, after all, he was a scout for the 76ers.

But how did Jackson know?

Chinese media?

Wang Defa?

Martin subconsciously burst into a foul mouth.

Because he's worried......

This news will disrupt Jerry West's setup for the upcoming draft.

In the stands, Erwin's acquiescence was almost an acknowledgement.

"It's incredible, they're just high school students."

"It's just a normal heads-up, and Jerry is likely just playing with them......"

"It's fun, it's so funny, it's a pity that there's no video, it's a shame."

"But guys, I don't think we can judge based on news like this alone.

And there's the McDonald's High School All-Star Game next.

So I think we still have time to revise our judgment. Scout Adams also felt that he had to observe Su Feng again after hearing the news.

It is best to invite Su Feng to come to Phoenix during the trial in the future.

"I ...... I ......"

Sitting in the back row of Jackson, Foyman seemed ready to say something, but he stuttered as if something was stuck in his throat.

At this point, Philip, who was sitting next to Foyman, smiled, "I'll tell you for you, old man." ”

Looking at Philip, Foyman nodded.

"I think, anyway, guys, Kobe and Sue are the ones we should look at.

After all, after they announced that they were skipping college, you know, we didn't have any more time to observe them.

I think both Erwin and Adams have a point.

Kobe Bryant's offensive skills are well-rounded, and in my opinion, he is more mature than many NBA players.

He has a big vision and is an excellent finisher.

In high school basketball, even if he is surrounded by three people, he can pass the ball calmly.

In addition, Kobe Bryant has a fanatical desire to win, and he is a player who can dominate the game.

But as you know, Kobe Bryant also has the possibility of becoming Harold Mayna, so ......

I think Kobe Bryant could consider betting with a mid-first pick, and of course, the lottery is okay because he's worth the price.

As for Sue, Adams also mentioned just now that Sue lacks offensive means.

Admittedly, in high school leagues, Sue's physical gifts have given him a huge mismatch advantage.

But if you think about it the other way around, doesn't that mean that Sue knows how to read the game?

He knows how to use his strengths and I've seen him a lot this season......

In addition to the offensive tactics that Adams talked about, Sue obviously added a lot of low-post offense when attacking.

Even his feints and some changes in rhythm make me feel as if he is already a professional footballer.

Well, Adams, don't look at me like that.

I know that Su's current offensive methods are still very crude, and can even be described as clumsy.

However, doesn't this just prove that he has a certain talent on the offensive end?

I don't know what you guys think, but I'm bullish on Sue, and the reason I'm bullish is not because of his performance on the offensive end.

It's his performance on the defensive end.

Guys, what's the most valuable talent in the league right now?

Is it bounce? Is it speed? Is it projection? Or is it height?

I don't think so, because in my opinion, even if Sue was only a fixed-point shooter in the NBA, I thought he was worth the gamble.

Because he is a good defender, and defense, precisely in this era, is something as precious as a diamond.

Su never admits defeat on the court, maybe his ceiling is not as high as Kobe's, but his lower limit is never too low.

I think he deserves a first-round pick, if that's my choice. Philip concluded.

"Indeed, Philip has a point."

"I agree!"

"I second!"

"Of course, whether it's Kobe Bryant or Sue, they're two pieces of gold of unknown purity.

But, folks, isn't that the most interesting part?

If they were all Tim, what are we arguing about today? Philip added.

"Makes sense, hey, although this year's draft is called the Golden Generation......

But I always feel that next year's draft will be very competitive! ”

"Just kidding, I'm not bragging, Tim doesn't have any faults other than being young."

"The template I gave Tim anyway was Hakim (Olajuwon)."

"I think Tim is probably the most technically savvy rookie in the NBA in this decade."

"yes......"

In the stands, looking at Duncan's peers and chatting again, Erwin quietly approached Jackson's side.

Just as a player has his own circle of players and a coach has his own circle of coaches, scouts also have their own circle of scouts.

During this period, because information is not as easy to gather as it will be in the future, most NBA scouts will share some intelligence and information with their peers.

Even some scouts borrow media coverage.

But in Erwin's opinion, information like Su Feng and Kobe Bryant once defeated Starkerhouse in heads-up is already classified......

For the '90s, where there were no social networks, whoever got hold of these secrets about the rookies first would have the absolute upper hand in the draft.

So Erwin really couldn't figure out why Jackson was ......

"I know what you're thinking, Elwin.

But even if I don't talk about Sue and Kobe's defeat of Jerry, sooner or later it will be known before the draft. ”

Jackson patted Erwin on the shoulder and whispered.

"Is it because of the Chinese media?" Erwin said a little helplessly.

"I know you're very optimistic about Sue and Kobe, after all, you're in Philadelphia." Jackson laughed.

"But don't you think it'...... man" Before Erwin could finish speaking, Jackson reached out and interrupted him.

"You're so honest, man."

Jackson spread his hands, "Back in '93, I thought you were an honest man.

But I didn't expect that 3 years have passed, and you still don't have a long memory at all. ”

Erwyn: "......"

"Do you really think Adams was just deliberately finding fault with Sue?

I've had reliable information for a long time, and Phoenix is interested in Sue.

Believe me, they'll definitely be one of the first teams to send Sue a tryout invitation.

Erwin, it's right to share intelligence.

But as scouts, it's not just about providing intelligence to the team.

If it's in times of war, and you think of every NBA team as a nation, then we're agents, you know? Jackson laughed.

"This ...... Phoenix is interested in Sue? "Honest man Erwin was stunned.

"You're not going to be the chief scout by going through the back door, are you?" Jackson asked curiously.

"Uh......"

"You know, Foyman and Philip, they're actually working for Jerry West." Jackson leaned into Erwin's ear and said.

"Huh? But...... Isn't Martin a scout for the Lakers? Erwin was shocked.

"Martin is just a pawn......

Los Angeles is interested in Kobe, so Philip has just turned everyone's attention to Sue.

You see, when he evaluated Kobe, he used nothing more than our unanimous opinion.

But when evaluating Sue, he analyzed it thoroughly.

Because Philip doesn't want us to focus too much on Kobe, you know? Jackson laughed.

Erwin felt like he understood it all.

F**K！

These people who play with intelligence have too dirty hearts!

"So, I'm just helping them." Jackson added.

"Why?" Erwin wondered.

"Because, I'm also very interested in Sue.

I wish this pool was as mixed up as possible!

And you know, the alliance has already started to fully engage in the Chinese market. Jackson laughed.

"I know, but I'm not very optimistic about the Chinese market." Erwin said.

"I'm not bullish either, but I'm bullish on David [Stern]'s options." Jackson said.

"But, if you're interested in Sue......" Erwin felt like he had reached a dead end.

"That's why I shared that information, because at that time, people will not only pay attention to Su.

And, who told you that what I just told you is true?

Perhaps, I would like to suggest that the team choose Kobe? Jackson laughed.

Erwyn: "......"

Feeling a little weak, Erwin looked up at the dome of the Harrisburg Capital Coliseum.

Then, when everyone's eyes were drawn to Raul Melion, who was celebrating in the center of the court......

Elvin who can't fit it......

The corners of his mouth suddenly drew a strange arc.

Three years, do you really think that these three years have been in vain?

Maybe I was an honest person three years ago.

But three years is enough time to change too much, too much.

Since you've labeled me an honest man, you're welcome.

In fact, Erwin is no stranger to the intrigue between scouts.

Because in the 90s, all scouts would have done it.

Again, that's the same sentence.

In this era of no social networks, whoever has the most core information will have the last laugh.

Take the classic exchange of the future Raptors and Warriors as an example, it is precisely because the Raptors know that the Warriors want Jamison, so he cut off Jamison.

And also traded Jamison for the Carter they wanted, plus cash.

There are many, many more intrigues in the draft in the future, and this year is still the year of the golden generation by the media, so it is not good to say that it is ......

The teams have invested far more in the draft this year than in previous years.

So today, when Foyman asked everyone to analyze the market of Kobe and Su Feng, Erwin explained everything he knew like an honest man.

Of course, what Erwin confessed was his share as an honest man.

And the real, core information about Su Feng and Kobe Bryant will appear on the desk of 76ers head coach John Lucas in a few days.

This is a piece of information that Elwin has spent a whole year investigating.

"Kobe Bryant has the potential to be the next Michael Jordan, he never gives up and is competitive.

I don't think he's going to be Harold Meiner because Kobe Bryant's fundamentals are good.

So, if they can, I'd suggest the team could use an XXXX pick to select Kobe.

In addition, after my investigation, I found that Su has only been officially trained in basketball for two years.

His previous foundation was poor, but in just two years, his progress can only be described as speedy.

And I hope the team will pay more attention to the news from China, because once the NBA decides to get involved in the Chinese market, I believe in David [Stern]'s determination."

So, if I can, I'd suggest the team could use an XXXX pick to select Sue. ”

Elwin's information can only be described as detailed.

Even when making this information, Erwin also asked Su Feng's teammates, coaches, and classmates a lot of news.

In a nutshell......

Two young people who are self-disciplined to the point of being terrible, two young people who are full of desire to win and fanatically love basketball, in Erwin's opinion, Kobe Bryant and Su Feng, two pieces of gold of unknown purity, are worth betting.

Therefore, even if this pool of water is mixed again, Erwin is not afraid, because as long as the management and coaching staff of 76 are willing to believe in themselves, then no one will bid higher than them.

In fact, Phoenix's interest in Su Feng Erwin had long been known.

Even Erwin knew what Jackson didn't.

For example, Seattle is also interested in Su Feng.

"I think Sue's actual pick should swing between the first and second rounds, and I have to say, what a fascinating little guy......"

Looking at Su Feng, who was already wearing a hat symbolizing the high school league championship in the center of the court, Erwin smiled.

……

Ahem, just when the scouts in the stands are intriguing......

In the center of the Capital Gymnasium, Su Feng received the first FMVP trophy of his basketball career.

In the finals, Su Feng scored a game-high 40 points.

Although his teammate Kobe Bryant also played the luxurious data of "20+10+10", perhaps in order to let the pair of CPs have no regrets in their high school career, the organizing committee finally decided to award FMVP to Su Feng.

In this way, Su Feng also became the first Chinese player in the history of American high school basketball to win this honor.

In addition, in the 95/96 season, Su Feng was elected the scoring champion of the Pennsylvania High School Basketball League with an average of 33.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.0 steals, and 2.5 blocks per game.

And Su Feng was also selected for the first team of the best team with Kobe.

It is worth mentioning that this year's season MVP is still Kobe's, after all, the sewer data is so good......

In the 95/96 season, Bryant averaged 27.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 3.4 steals, and 3.6 blocks per game, achieving a triple-double in the season and officially becoming the king of the sewers.

And he also surpassed Wilt Chamberlain with a high school career total of 2,780 points to become the all-time leading scorer in Penn high school basketball.

Cough......

In other words, as a defensive genius, Su Feng also defended the award of Best Defensive Player in Pennsylvania......

Su Feng: ORZ.

In the center of the capital gymnasium, enjoying the cheers from the people of Pennsylvania, Su Feng, who was wearing a hat symbolizing the state championship, glanced at Kobe Bryant.

Well, anyway, the senior year of high school is over.

Now, it's time to move towards the NBA!

……

PS: Because I felt that there was a problem with this chapter when I checked the manuscript in the afternoon, I deleted the original 4,000 words at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and rewrote it, which took some time. Well, this chapter is 7000 words, after all, high school students skipped college, and Ah Xin needs to further explain and pave the setting, so it's not easy to separate, so let's finish it together, so it can also be announced that we have officially entered the draft plot.

PS2: Ask for a referral ticket! Collection! Tip!
