"Man, are you sure that the famous Coach Chu Xuan is coming to see Devin playing?"

A middle-aged man was looking at Ronald, the Lakers' ace scout, with suspicion in his eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ronald is just a discredited scout after all, so it's normal for the other side not to know him. Even after Ronald showed his Lakers player's work card to prove his identity, the middle-aged man was still cautious.

After all, as far as he knows, there are too many examples of using the fake identities of NBA scouts to defraud young people who want to get into the NBA to make money. Then, when they have achieved their goal, they cannot be found, as if they have disappeared out of thin air.

It seems that this middle-aged man does not believe Ronald, and he is determined not to let the guy in front of him take a penny out of his pocket.

Ronald smiled slightly, unimpressed by the middle-aged man's reaction: "Maybe you are skeptical, but this is definitely true." I'm just here to tell you that you'd better tell Devin Booker to play his calibre and his character in this game. You must know that if he can get Chu's favor, then he will undoubtedly be able to have a very bright future. Of course, I hope you just need to remind him, but don't tell him about Chu's coming. ”

"You mean, the Lakers are very interested in Devin?" The middle-aged man asked with a frown.

He didn't feel like Ronald was joking. And according to what he knows, the Lakers do have a first-round pick next year. And, the shooter is really where the Lakers need to strengthen.

Ronald nodded: "Yes, at least for now." However, as far as I know, there are several other young people in Chu's target range. Therefore, it is very important for your child to seize the opportunity. ”

The middle-aged man, Melvin Booker, a former NBA player, has played for the Rockets, Nuggets and Warriors. After retiring from the sport, he has been engaged in coaching. However, Melvin has a mediocre aptitude for coaching, and he has been serving in some local high schools and living a quiet life.

For Melvin, raising his child Devin Booker has always been his job, and his desire for his son to become a Chan is still very strong. Melvin admires Chu Xuan very much, and he is crazy obsessed with the Lakers coach who came out of nowhere and dominates the league. And Chu Xuan is most famous for his terrifying vision, all the players he fancy are making rapid progress and quickly becoming hot new stars in the league.

For Melvin, of course, he hopes that Devin Booker can play under Chu Xuan's tutelage.

"Why are you telling me this?" Melvin was puzzled.

Could it be that this guy still wants to make money out of him?

However, at this time, Melvin felt that if Coach Chu Xuan could really come to see his son play, then even if he really asked him to pay for it, he would be willing.

"Quite simply, I've been watching Devon for a long time. In my opinion, his projection skills are one of the best in this class of newcomers. If he can come to the Lakers, it will be a very good addition. ”

Ronald explained lightly: "Okay, I'm going to prepare for a hotel stay, Chu will probably go to Lexington in the evening...... He'll definitely be watching tomorrow's game. ”

With that, Ronald ignored Melvin and left slowly.

Melvin Booker stayed in place for a long time, until he came back to his senses and realized that Ronald had already left.

By now, Melvin is also extremely sure that this person should be a scout for the Lakers, and the fact that Chu Xuan is coming to Lexington is naturally true.

"I'm going to inform Devon as soon as possible, so that he can prepare well and take advantage of the opportunity." Melvin muttered to himself, and hurried home.

University of Kentucky, Indoor Basketball Hall.

An NCAA game is underway, and Kentucky's opponent this time is Arkansas.

Prior to this game, Kentucky hadn't lost a game this season. In other words, Kentucky has maintained a winning team record so far, and this time against Arkansas, Kentucky undoubtedly wants to continue the team's winning streak.

The University of Kentucky is the absolute hegemon in this year's NCAA, and he has a college star cast composed of Towns, Devin Booker, Trailles, Hudson Brothers, etc., and the terrifying strength of the roster makes it almost impossible for Kentucky to find an opponent. And ESPN predicts that Kentucky will be able to reach at least the Final Four this year.

In one corner of the arena, Chu Xuan was wearing a pair of sunglasses, staring at the court seriously. Next to him sat Ronald, who appeared in front of Melvin yesterday.

"How? Chu, I'll just say he's very good. Ronald said excitedly.

The so-called him, of course, refers to Devin Booker.

In today's game, Booker has a strong desire to attack, and he constantly runs to shoot and score.

At this point, the game didn't even end the first half, and Devin Booker had already scored almost 20 points.

"The comments from the ESPN guys always revolve around Devin's explosiveness in scoring. But I think his explosiveness is still good. Ronald said.

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, but did not speak immediately.

After a while, Chu Xuan's voice suddenly sounded: "It seems that you like this young man very much." ”

Ronald was slightly stunned, but nodded without any hesitation: "Yes, Chu." There may be many youngsters who are better than him, but I think Devon is the best fit for us. ”

In fact, if the Lakers can make the three-point point into a strong point next season, then the Lakers' dominance is absolutely unshakable by any team, and at that time, the Lakers will definitely hope to compete for the championship again.

"Ronald, you're right." Chu Xuan smiled: "However, what do you think of that big man?" ”

Following what Chu Xuan pointed out, what Ronald saw was Carl Anthony Downs, an interior player with dual citizenship of the Dominican Republic and the United States. Downs has reached the NBA level in height and weight, and his technique is quite well-rounded.

"Good players too. But our inside line is already overcrowded. Even if there was an opportunity, choosing him didn't do much. Ronald said.

Chu Xuan sighed slightly, noncommittal. What the Lakers need is an outside shooter......

"Looks like you're bullish on Carl Anthony Downs?" Ronald's eyes were full of surprise, you must know that the players who can make Chu Xuan optimistic are definitely good seedlings. However, although Ronald admits that Downs is very good, he does not think that he has the potential to impress Chu Xuan.

As if he didn't notice Ronald's surprised gaze, Chu Xuan said leisurely: "Perhaps, he is the next Tim Duncan-style player......"

What the!

Ronald was completely stunned, wondering if he had misheard.

Such an evaluation came out of Chu Xuan's mouth, and it was aimed at a young man who was still playing college basketball. It can only be said that such an evaluation is too high.

"Chu, are you kidding?" Ronald swallowed, looking odd.

Even if Chu Xuan said this, he still didn't believe it.

"Hehe, do you think I'm joking? At the right time, I think he'll surprise everyone. ”

Ronald was stunned for a moment and was silent for a long time.

……

The game came to an end with the frantic celebrations of the young people at home.

The University of Kentucky continued its unbeaten run with an 84-67 win over the University of Arkansas. Devin Booker hit 12-of-19 from the field, including seven three-pointers, to score a season-high 34 points. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time he has scored more than 20 points in a college competition.

As for Towns, in the 24 minutes off the bench, he contributed 12 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

……

After the fans dispersed, Melvin Booker and Devin Booker surprisingly did not leave.

They kept looking around, and when their eyes landed on a corner, the two of them were suddenly full of surprise.

And Melvin patted his son even more excitedly, and said excitedly: "Devin, do you see it, that's the head coach of the Lakers, he came to see you play in person......"

……

Seeing that Booker and his son had discovered him, Chu Xuan smiled and gestured to the two.

Then he said to Ronald: "Let's go, the inspection is over." It's time for us to go back to Los Angeles. (To be continued.) )
