Chapter 132: Spurs Scout

After the victory of Yangda, Qiao and Zhou Jian left the stadium.

Because there is still a closing ceremony to be held after the Yangda championship game, there is no need for them to stay and watch.

As soon as he walked out of the gymnasium gate, the classic Apple phone rang, Joe glanced at the name displayed on the phone and smiled, and turned directly to the hands-free mode.

The man's voice came over the phone, in native American English, apparently from across the ocean.

"Joe, I heard that you are in Huaxia now, how about that unknown player named Chen Zhi?"

"Chen? I don't know, I'm here to get to know Zhou Qi! "Joe plays with taste.

"Haha, it's funny, are you in Houston City, China? Tell me, how's it going? The man was obviously very familiar with Joe Jason, and he could tell the truth from the false.

Joe looked at Zhou Jian beside him: "To be honest, Chris, if it weren't for my friend's repeated invitations, I definitely wouldn't have spent time here to watch a Chinese University League, and you know that what our team needs at the moment is a center, and this small point guard is not attractive enough to me." I haven't spoken to him in person yet, I've only watched him play one game. ”

"Without further ado, give me some dry fodder, you know San Antonio is interested in point guards." Chris, on the other end of the phone, is clearly a member of the Spurs' scouting team.

Qiao smiled and said: "Okay, just like the information you have in your hand, he is 175 cm tall, which doesn't look strong, but his physical fitness is strong, at least much stronger than the Huaxia student players who play with him." The athleticism is very good, the passing, ball control, speed, agility are not bad, the passing vision and technique are especially good, and there are some shadows of Manu in your team. But obviously the shortcomings are very obvious, height is a huge problem, and at the same time, the shooting ability is also very poor, considering that you have to adapt to the NBA three-point line that is farther away than now, you can hardly shoot three-pointers. With Parker and Mills on your team, he should be able to be a caretaker or link up the team for a short period of time. ”

Zhou Jian was next to Qiao, and listening to Qiao say this, he was obviously not optimistic about Chen Zhi's future after entering the NBA.

Chris on the other end of the phone said, "Well, it's pretty much what his stats can reflect." How did he perform in the game? ”

"The final quarter completely dominated the game. But to be honest, his desire to attack is not strong enough, and he is not even the main scorer in the team in a game at this level of the Huaxia University League. But his agent told me that his performance in the NBA might be different, believe it or not. Qiao truthfully said how he felt, and did not have any scruples because Zhou Jian was on the side.

"Well, this year's NBA draft is really a rare year, and it is extremely difficult to pick out a few good seedlings, so I'd better set my sights on Chicago! Thank you for sharing the information and feel free to contact me when you need me! ”

The guy named Chris hung up the phone after finishing speaking, and from the tone he just said, Zhou Jian couldn't accurately judge whether he was interested in Chen Zhi, but after listening to Qiao's truthful introduction, any scout probably wouldn't be too interested in Chen Zhi.

"Joe, it doesn't look like the relationship between you scouts is as close as I thought it would be." Zhou Jian said when he saw the end of the call between the two sides.

Joe casually slipped his phone into his pocket and nodded: "In fact, this industry is far more harmonious than outsiders imagine, many times they will communicate with each other, and even go together to watch the same player." You know, in today's age of the Internet, it's impossible to discover an unknown genius. In fact, even if it is the same player, ten scouts can probably come up with ten different opinions when they look at him, and as for who has the more accurate vision, only later will tell. ”

Zhou Jian nodded when he heard this, it is true, players with strength and talent are basically famous at a young age, not to mention Kobe Bryant and James, even Jeremy Lin's unfavored draft picks, in fact, there are some names in NC+. Everyone is like a book, the same text, and different people have different feelings when reading it.

Seeing Zhou Jian nodding, Qiao continued: "Chris, the person I talked to on the phone just now, do you know who it is?" ”

Zhou Jian shook his head, there are many people called Chris in the United States, this name is very common, and it is unisex, "In short, it's not CP3!" CP3 is the nickname of Clippers star Chris Paul.

"Former Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant! James made decision 1, to go to Miami to form the Big Three, and he was the general manager," Joe shrugged, "and now a Spurs scout. ”

Ignoring Zhou Jian's surprise, Joe continued: "The position of scout is different from other positions in the team, it seems to be a member of the team, and most of the time it is out of the team. When the team's development momentum is not good, many teams will fire the general manager, such as Chris, who was fired by the Cavaliers two years ago, and once the team owner fires the general manager, usually the scouting department will hurt the bones, so most scouts don't have much loyalty to the team at all, everyone changes teams very frequently, I have now served as a scout for three basketball clubs, but the relationship between scouts is relatively stable. ”

Zhou Jian has naturally seen a lot of scouts in the past, but he doesn't know much about the situation in the scouts, after all, they travel all year round, observe players from all over the world, and don't see them a few times in a whole season.

"Joe, how have I treated you these two days?" After listening to Qiao's words, Zhou Jian pondered for a while, and asked Qiao with a smile.

"Well, the food of Huaxia has always impressed me, why did you suddenly mention this?" Obviously, I was still talking about the scouting industry just now.

"In our Huaxia, there is a saying called eating people with soft mouths and short hands, I have a request, and then other team scouts will contact you and put away what you just said, especially for teams that need point guards now, let them come to Huaxia to watch Chen Dao's game by themselves, this request is not too much, right?"

If it's just a scout and Joe contact, his remarks just now are not a big problem, if the scout circle is really like Joe said, the scouts of each team have a lot of practice in private, it will have a greater impact on Chen Zhi.

He can't ask Joe to advocate everywhere for Chen Zhi, but it's not too much to ask Joe not to use his own views to influence other scouts, as an incompetent agent, Zhou Jian feels that he can do too little for Chen Zhi, and now he hasn't even entered the NBA, let alone fight for Chen Zhi's salary contract and various commercial endorsements in the future.

Zhou Jian was very melancholy, he felt that he needed to have a good chat with Chen Zhi, the position of NBA player agent is really not something that can be done by just someone, I really don't know what Chen Zhi thinks.

Uh, the number of chapters is written incorrectly, it can't be modified, it doesn't matter.
