Chapter 77: The Road to the NBA Begins

Somewhere in the NBA's senior conference room in Los Angeles, USA. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are a lot of people here today, the general managers and head coaches of the teams and scouts have been there, and the chairman of the meeting is NBA Vice President Mark Tatum, this person's great-grandparents are both Cantonese, so they have a lot of roots with Huaguo.

Today's meeting is a focused meeting for the 2016 NBA Draft, and the content of the meeting is mainly around this year's rookies.

On the big screen in the conference room, there are highlights of the competition of potential rookies.

"Hey guys, Ben Simmons I'm booked."

At this time, Brett Brown, the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, took the lead in speaking, the 76ers have been in a bad position for 3 years, and they have won the Great Joel Embiid in 14 years, and Jaliel Okafor in 15 years.

The outside media has long been building momentum for Simmons, touting his good physical qualities, and his agent is also LeBron James's agent, Rich Paul. This guy is known for being tricky and difficult, but he is indeed a good hand among agents, and now for Simmons, he is commanding the brokerage team to give him a good hype through various media.

However, Simmons himself does not have much interest in the bad team of the Philadelphia 76ers, and even made it clear that if he is selected by the 76ers, he will be willing to fall, but no one will believe this kind of naΓ―ve words, how could Rich Paul, as an agent, allow this kind of thing to happen?

Anyway, the champion is signed in hand, and no one wants to choose anyone to grab it, and head coach Brett Brown is also quite proud on his face, and he finally drew the champion lottery after three years of hard work, after all, no one is as good as the luck of the Cavaliers boss's son, and he drew 3 champions in 4 years.

The people behind are also discussing, in fact, there are not many strong rookies in 2016, except for Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram, the rest of the rookies are not very strong, although they are full of talent, but how many rookies in history can realize their talent?

However, according to the analysis of experts, the rookies in 2017 will be a big year for the draft, and there will be a lot of potential new stars, but these are all for later, and the 2016 rookies are now being discussed.

The Heat chatted all afternoon, in short, there were different opinions, Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram have been booked in advance by the 76ers and Lakers, and the rest of the rookies can already be regarded as random picks, as long as they pick the right team.

In the video on the big screen, the rookies are also performing various tricks one by one, what is a one-handed dunk between people, what is a 1-5 super pass, what is a super long-distance goal, these things are dazzling.

And just as the meeting was about to end, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a handsome blonde man with sunglasses walked in.

Seeing the man come in, everyone in the conference room stopped discussing and turned their eyes on him.

"You're late again."

NBA Vice President Mark Tatum, who was standing on the podium to preside over the meeting, said with a smile.

If it were someone else, he would probably be angry and drive him away, but this man is an existence he can't afford to provoke.

Although he is just an ordinary scout, he has a "godfather" in the league, and no one dares to mess with him.

Jerry found a random spot to sit down, then took out his phone and data cable and walked to the podium.

"I want to show you a reel of the future superstar who will be in this year's draft."

Jared smiled and said hello to Mark, then turned to everyone in the room.

"Who is he? Which basketball school do you come from? Kentucky? Duke? North Carolina? Wake Forest? Syracuse? Or is it some other school? ”

At this time, Brett Brown was the first to ask, in his opinion, only Ben Simmons has the potential to become a superstar in the future, and now when he hears Jarreth say that a new star has a chance to become a supergiant, he naturally wants to see where it is sacred.

However, when Jares released the video, it immediately attracted a burst of laughter.

"Haha, Jarys, are you in the wrong place, this is the NBA draft, not the overseas lower league."

Brett was the first to laugh when he saw the video, and the video Jareth showed was the highlights of He Dong's games at the Winter Trials that he found on the Chinese Internet, as well as a few sporadic videos he recorded with his mobile phone for He Dong in the Philippine League.

Brett, as the head coach of the 76ers, has a good eye, and you can see at a glance that the protagonist in the video is a Chinese, and he looks like a high school student, and from the height of others, this person is no more than 190cm tall.

High school student? Chinese? Not more than 190cm tall? Is Jareth in the brain? Optimistic that such a person can become a future superstar in the NBA?

After all, there are many failures of Chinese people in the NBA, except for Da Yao, the rest are on the edge and finally eliminated by the NBA.

So Brett is definitely not optimistic about the Huaguo high school student in the video, so many local stars in Huaguo who have become famous in the HBA can't get along well in the NBA, not to mention this high school student who is less than 190cm tall.

As the vice president of the NBA, Mark was also surprised at the moment, he couldn't see where the kid in the video was strong, after all, if you only watch the highlights, everyone is the champion.

But he didn't dare to save Jarris's face, so he could only sneer: "Jarres, can you tell us a little bit about this future superstar?" ”

Jareth saw the ridicule in the eyes of everyone on the court, and snorted coldly, he believed in his own vision, He Dong would definitely become a superstar.

Then he said loudly: "This future star of Huaguo is named He Dong, who plays as a scoring guard on the court, and the video I am showing now is a highlight of his game at the Hudong Provincial Winter Trials in Huaguo, where he averaged 40 points per game. ”

"Oh, this kid is amazing. But averaging 40 points per game, in the high school years of many rookies, there are also many people who have done it, do you think about this young man based on this alone? ”

At this time, it was Kupchak, the general manager of the Lakers, who knew that Jerrys's vision was okay, so he became interested.

Looking at those NBA players, not only superstars, even if they are ordinary players, when they begin to show their talents, such as in high school, there are basically many people who average more than 30 points per game, and 40 points are not nothing.

Mr. Ku knew that Jareth would definitely not be optimistic about He Dong just because of how long He Dong scored.

In the face of Mr. Ku's question, Jeris also smiled back, he had a good relationship with the former, and continued: "He shoots very consistently, can shoot 55% from three-point range, and is fast. ”
