012: Hard but fun work

The hustle and bustle on the court was still there, but Silas was not as excited and excited as he had just been. As Henson said, Hansbrough was in big trouble today. He didn't have much of a problem in the confrontation with himself, the problem was that Tai. Gibson's aggressive defense and three violent blocks allowed Hansbrough's offense to be contained.

On the offensive end, Gibson's soft mid-range touch also hit North Carolina's defense. North Carolina has two interior players who are that kind of power-type big man, and Gibson, that guy is just as nimble as a small forward. His off-ball run made North Carolina's two interior lines unguardable.

But that's why Gibson's draft prospects aren't so good, as people now prefer to watch an interior player fight in the three-second zone rather than see him do something "out of business." For example, a mid-range jumper.

A player like Gibson who is "not three or four" is called all-around in the NCAA, and when he enters the NBA, he is called all-in. There are so many examples of such players failing that many teams don't want to risk them anymore.

But Henson didn't think so, and Gibson was very surprised by the "base" shown in this game. Henson saw through the data analysis module that Gibson's ability value was also above the NCAA average. Now Gibson, the ability value is only slightly worse than Hansbru. But with the potential of A- in the future, the gap between Gibson and Hansbru will widen.

You're going to say that Hansbrough plays hard? Great. Gibson is also a person who dares to fight.

"How do you know!? I mean, we've never paid attention to Thai. Gibson, not even his information!? Silas's eyes widened, just as Henson had glared at Hansbrough before.

"I also sat here and saw him, and then I made my judgment." Henson spread his hands with a smirk, "Perhaps, that's the scout's instinct, man." ”

"Scouts? Sir, are you a scout? Henson's words appealed not only to Silas, but also to Angali, who had long wanted to continue talking to him.

"Yes, I'm from Indianapolis, and it's my job to tell if a young player is good or bad. So, my eyes are quite vicious! Henson said, staring at Angeli's chest for a moment. It only took a few seconds for Henson to get the "data" of Anjiali's measurements, and I have to say that this little girl's figure is really ...... Quite overbearing!

Looking at Henson's straight eyes, Anjiali was a little embarrassed, but she was not angry. At least it let her know that a cold and funny man like Henson would also be attracted.

"So do you think we should change the goal? After all, Gibson and Hansblower are both power forwards. If there is a better candidate, of course we have to shift our focus there. Do you really think that Thai. Is Gibson better than Hansbrough? ”

Henson and Angeli were about to get better, but Silas's puzzled old man interjected again. Henson can assure that without Silas's "interference", his trip to the Bay Area might have been even more rewarding!

"Hansbru played four years in college and his stats are comprehensive enough that the whole world knows what kind of player he is. Dan Tai. Gibson, I think we need to work a little bit more on him. But I still have to go back and discuss the specific plan with Bird before I can decide. ”

While Henson and Silas were talking, there was another commotion on the pitch. The two looked up, and it turned out that Gibson had taken another one from Hansbro!

"It's horrible! This is the first time that it has been blocked!? ”

"The fifth, four of which were Hansbru." Henson shook his head, Hanspur had met a guy who was more desperate than him today.

Obviously, the purpose of coming this time was Hansblue, but Henson had a windfall. I believe that after going back this time, Bird's trust in himself will be even higher! After all, an employee who can complete additional tasks, can the boss not like it?

At the end of the game, North Carolina beat the UCB Golden State Bears by just three points. Although Hansbrough scored 22 points and 8 rebounds in this game, the statistics did not faithfully reflect Hansbrough's struggle on the court. Great. The pressure that Gibson put on Hansbrough was simply suffocating.

"If we were to look at Gibson from the beginning, I'm afraid we would have a lot of work to do." Silas stood up, looking like he couldn't wait to collect footage of Gibson's game.

"yes, but it's exciting, isn't it?" Henson straightened his suit and put away his little notebook. As always, nothing was written in the notebook, and he had already written all the key points in his head.

Before leaving, Anjiali. Lanadivi handed Henson a small note, which was then handed by Abby. Hornasekra is gone.

Henson looked down and opened the note, and sure enough, there was a string of phone numbers written on it.

※※※

Henson rushed back to Indianapolis the next morning, and Silas wasn't with Henson, the guy had already decided to stay in the Bay Area and collect footage and data from Gibson's game.

The more samples Silas gets, the more accurate Henson will be able to calculate something. The first time the two met, they established a very good cooperative relationship. In short, than Dennis. Posey is much better.

Back in Indianapolis, Henson spent the day preparing a scouting report. The reason why it took so long was because this time he needed to perfect the reports of three players: Hansbro, Gibson and DeMar. DeRozan.

Judging by the current results of the Pacers, it is not impossible for the team to select DeRozan. While DeRozan may not be able to become a superstar, his A+ potential and current foundation are enough to make him an All-Star player.

The day after his return, Henson went to visit his eldest Bird, as promised. In Bird's office, Henson used his dizzying data analysis and head-to-head reasoning to convince Bird. Gibson is indeed a very interesting target.

And after today, Bird also gave Henson the task of the next few months. That is, to focus on the observation of Hansbrough, Zhu. Holiday & Ty. Gibson and DeMar. DeRozan Four. While the Pacers only have one first-round pick this year, Bird certainly has the ability to turn the number of first-round picks into two if necessary.

In addition to these four key goals, Henson will have to continue to look for other possibilities. For a while, Henson's life became busy, and he became one of Bird's most valued scouts.

From the beginning of this period until the end of March Madness, Henson's life was very fulfilling. The scouting job was much harder than he thought, and he was either on a plane or on his way to a plane during this time.

He flew almost half of the United States, just to watch a few young players play. Fortunately, he always had Silas as as a good partner with him during the journey, and the two gradually became very good friends. Henson liked Silas's friendliness, candor. Silas, on the other hand, admires Henson, a guy with vicious eyes.

It must be admitted that this kind of boring work of watching the ball all day long, sorting out data, watching videos, and writing reports requires a lot of love for basketball to persevere. But luckily, Henson was a fan in his own right before. And the more you learn about the basketball world, the more fascinated Henson becomes.

It wasn't until the end of March Madness, after a long period of observation and the help of the data analysis module, that Henson knew the four key goals given by Bird, and he was even able to predict the development trajectory of several people in the future.

Hansblu's level should be like this, and he can eat in the NBA at best. Great. Gibson, he's going to be a very useful starter and he's going to be able to make the dressing room very harmonious. Cinnabar. Holiday is going to be an All-Star in the future. The most powerful is Demar. DeRozan, Henson is convinced that this guy will become a superstar in the future.

Now, Silas doesn't question what Henson says. After all, in the past few months, Henson's god-like things have happened from time to time.

On Henson's side, scouting is going very smoothly and there is no need for Bird to worry about it. What worries Bird the most now is the Pacers' results. The regular season is coming to an end in one month, but the team's record has not improved in the slightest. Barring a miracle, the Pacers' playoff dreams should be shattered again this year. Except for Daniel. Granger had the best season of his career, and everything was disappointing this season!

Directly change the head coach? The risk is too great. Bird's idea was to find a new person to join the coaching staff first. If it's appropriate, slowly promote him and kick O'Brien and his useless coaching staff.

But who to turn to? Bird has a lot of connections in the basketball community, but it is not easy to find a suitable coaching staff.

At this time, Bird's eyes couldn't help but glance at the scouting report on the table, and the name was written on the cover of the report.
