In 2007, after changing jobs for a third time that was still not suitable, Henson joined the university professor Wayne Brown. With Winston's introduction, he successfully landed an errand as a data analyst with the local Indiana Pacers.

Wayne. Although Winston was also engaged in statistics by birth, he was also involved in the work of Mark. Cuban's teacher, so in 2005, at the invitation of Cuban, he became a data analyst for the Mavericks and officially stepped into the basketball circle.

Born in a cornfield, Winston has been a basketball fan since he was a child and a fan of the Indiana Pacers. That's why Winston is so good at connecting math and basketball, two seemingly unrelated things.

With Winston's help, the Mavericks led the league into the era of data analytics. This math guy gave a lot of advice to the team coach on the lineup, and it all achieved good results.

Because of this, Winston also has some fame in Indiana's basketball circles. Hearing that Henson was a student of Winston, the Pacers were naturally very excited and happily accepted him. I hope that this seemingly wise Chinese high-achieving student can lead them into the era of data analysis.

However, the world will never be as beautiful as a fairy tale, and Henson, a guy who only understands math and doesn't understand basketball, does a terrible job as a data analyst, often saying that some team coaches don't understand math formulas that don't help the game at all. Not everyone is Winston and is able to bring two otherwise unrelated industries together.

Naturally, Henson's place was gradually taken by someone else. After that, he was sent to the scouting department and became a scout on the go. It's not because of how unique Henson's eye is for people, this guy who doesn't understand basketball at all doesn't even know Kobe. Bryant and Contney. What is the difference between lee. Pacers management just gave Winston a face and didn't fire his students. And he was assigned as a scout only because the position required him to run around, lest the Pacers' coaching staff look at him upset.

Henson couldn't help but shake his head, the previous owner of this body was really mixed up, and he was blind with such a high degree of education. After two years with the Pacers, the more mixed it up, the more reversed.

Although Henson has Winston's face to sell, he is now also on the verge of being expelled. Just crossed over, Henson didn't want to lose his job right away, saying that he wanted to keep his job in the NBA team!

The salary of ordinary staff of an NBA team is not very high, but being able to work in the NBA can be regarded as a dream fulfillment. used to work as a data "porter" on a small website in China, and Henson fantasized every day that he could really fit into the unreachable circle of the NBA. Now that we really have this opportunity, we must seize it!

And as a scout, Henson has a lot of free balls to watch every year! can make money and go to the scene every day to watch the game, even if you can't be rich and expensive, Henson is satisfied with such a life!

After washing his face, Henson returned to the court. At this point, it was as if the game was on hiatus. There were no players on the field, but energetic college cheerleaders performing. Henson drooled when he saw it, the figure of a young American girl is good, hahahahaha!

"No, no, no, I'm a scout now, cough cough cough." Henson quickly shook his head, shaking the images that every man fantasizes about. The most important thing now is to work, to work...... But how do you get started? Henson is also a head two big.

He first looked at the wooden floor of the court, on which was written "UCLA Bruins." It turned out to be an NCAA game. It's January, and NBA teams are starting to prepare for the June draft. I believe that the NBA scouts who are now "ambushed" on the scene are not the only ones Henson.

Although it was difficult to learn about the NCAA in China before, Henson still knew a little about college basketball in the United States.

If the basketball circle in the United States is compared to a big tree, then the NCAA is the trunk of this big tree! Only when the trunk is thick can it bloom and bear fruit densely. Most of the flying beasts and admired stars in the NBA league are flowers and fruits from the backbone of the NCAA.

College basketball in the United States is a huge talent pool, and some of them may never play basketball again for the rest of their lives after graduation. And some people may become the next epoch-making superstar, calling for wind and rain in the world of basketball! How can NBA teams tell if a college player is a superstar or a mediocre player? It's up to them to have a strong network of scouts.

UCLA, on the other hand, is a gathering place for talent in the NCAA Collegiate League. As one of the most well-known basketball schools in the United States, there are countless NBA superstars who have walked out of here.

"Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar, Bill. Wharton, Reggie. Miller and other thunderous names are all produced by UCLA. The young people who play at UCLA are usually the best student players in their age group, so every game at UCLA can be said to be the focus of NBA scouts.

So far, though, Henson has not been impressed with all the players on the pitch. He looked up at the scoreboard, and there were only five minutes left in the second half. In other words, within five minutes, if Henson can't figure out a detailed scouting report, he will probably be able to roll up and walk away after reporting back to Indianapolis.

Henson is a fan, but it's a bit of a struggle for him to give a detailed assessment of a player in just five minutes.

Soon, the timeout ended, the sexy and hot cheerleaders left the court, and the sweaty men rekindled the atmosphere of the arena.

Henson stared intently at the players he didn't even know, hoping to see a point. Just when he was fully focused, the electronic sound sounded in his head again!

"Data analysis module on!"

Henson thought he was hallucinating, but after a few moments, all sorts of numbers appeared in his eyes! Each player's height, weight, arm span, age, and other data, as long as Henson wants to know, will appear in front of his eyes!

Henson swallowed, it seems that this crossing did not leave him with nothing! With the help of this data analysis module, he can get data that ordinary people can't get just by watching these players play!

Henson smiled and sat down in his seat.

"Sir, I think you're in my place!"

Just as Henson was getting ready to watch the ball, a young blonde man appeared in front of Henson.

"Where are you?" Henson looked around, and he remembered that he had just been knocked down in the first row.

"Well, sir, you have a good sense of humor! But I have to warn you, do you think someone in such a cheap suit can afford to sit in the first row of seats facing the bench!? The man said, reaching out and patting the ash on Henson's suit.

Henson just reacted, this guy is belittleing himself!

"Now, please return to your seat. The contest has already started and I have to get to work right away! Damn, can anyone come here to watch football now? Without waiting for Henson to agree, the handsome blonde man pushed Henson aside, sat down in his place and crossed his legs.

Henson fiddled with his newly acquired brain, and then remembered that the first row was indeed not his seat. Just now he just wanted to go to the bathroom, and when he walked to the first row, he was knocked over......

Although it was true that he was sitting in the wrong place, the blonde man's attitude still made Henson very unhappy. Just now he said he was going to get to work? Maybe it's a scout for which team! In the future, the two may meet again.

Henson glared at the swaggering fellow, then sat back in his place. Well, the side stands are in the third-to-last row, where Henson can't even tell who's who is on the field!

Also, given Henson's current status in the team, how could the team give him a seat in the first row? Maybe the coaching staff deliberately bought him a back seat so that he couldn't see anything and leave when he got back.

Despite the tough circumstances, Henson's numbers still appear in front of him when he concentrates. He forgot all the unhappiness and watched the game intently. Combined with his years of experience watching football and these numbers, he had to come up with a scouting report!

At this time, the game has entered its most intense moment. In the final five minutes, UCLA was just three points ahead of Arizona. This strong dialogue in the Pacific 12 League did not disappoint the fans.

At this point, it was the offensive round of the University of Arizona. Arizona's No. 13 guard took a direct shot after receiving the basketball through running, and hit a three-pointer to tie the score in one fell swoop.

"James. Harden, Three! The loud shouts of the live DJ made Henson remember the little guy with the beard. Through the original memories of this body, Henson knew that Harden was one of the top candidates in this year's NBA draft!

After taking a closer look at Harden, Henson's eyes showed more stats, including the player's stats. However, the ability value is not displayed in specific numbers, but is represented by the five levels of ABCDE.

To Henson's surprise, a high-profile college star guard and champion candidate like Harden is only a C-level three-point player.

The three-point ability of the others is even more miserable, and both D and E abound. However, it soon became clear to Henson that this rating system should be based on the NBA. So these little guys who are still playing in the NCAA will not have too high ability values.

It seems that Harden finally has an ability value on him that has caught Henson's attention.

Potential: A+!

"Well, with the help of the data analysis module, it's much easier to figure out which of these little guys is better or worse!" Henson rubbed his hands excitedly at his newfound discovery and continued to watch.

In the next round, UCLA attacked. It doesn't look like they have a good deal to do with Arizona. Since Westbrook and Kevin. After the two of them left in the draft, UCLA has been lacking a decisive star player.

The little No. 21 man from the Bruins, who had just knocked down Henson, took over the basketball, but he didn't rush to attack, but patiently organized himself on the outside.

As you can see, the No. 21 is a serious point guard, unlike most offensive guards.

He first commanded his center to cover without the ball, and then waited for his teammates to go beyond the three-point line before making the ball in time!

After the ball, he did not stand still and wait, but immediately started to find a new gap, ready to receive the ball at any time.

It's a pity that his teammates seem to be in a hurry and shoot after receiving the ball. Under Harden's interference, the basketball stumbled out of the frame, and No. 21 just made a background, helplessly in vain.

The focus of attention is now on James. Harden, but Henson was drawn to the performance of that No. 21. He could see that the little guy's consciousness was very good, he was more composed than everyone in the room, it was just that his teammates were not cooperating.

"What is his potential?" Henson muttered to himself, then looked at the data in front of him.

A-, a rating that Henson never expected. The No. 21 defender who seems to be unknown and doesn't even have any right to make a move, has a potential level of A-!?

"Sir, what's the name of that number 21?" Curious, Henson asked one of the fans sitting next to him.

"No. 21 of the Bruins? That point guard? It seems to be called Zhu. Holiday it! Who cares about him, I just want to see Darren. Collison kicks Harden's ass! ”

It seems that people really don't have much interest in that number 21. But Henson smiled slightly, and his scouting report seemed to have been settled.
