Last time, Morey was analyzing what the current lineup of the Rockets lacks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"In the center position, Yao Ming is too bulky, Mutombo is old, he can't run, and he can't jump, so the defensive ability in the center position is not strong, and in terms of offense, fortunately, Yao Ming's offense is still unsolvable, and the offensive problem is not big, mainly defense.

In the big forward position, Swift is purely a jumping man, except for good bounce, nothing else, offense and defense are a mess, and the substitute Howard (known as Uncle Huo) is almost forty years old, and his mid-range shooting is okay, but he can't count on defense. Therefore, in the big forward position, the defense is also extremely poor,

Small forward, Maddie, offense is unsolvable, defense ~ Well, it can only be regarded as average.

shooting guard, David Wesley;

Organizing defenders, Alstom, none of these two can defend. ”

……

Listening to Morey's analysis of each position, everyone thought about it, hey, there is really some truth.

Morey slammed the table with his knuckles to retract everyone's attention and concluded: "All in all, what the Rockets lack the most at the moment is defense, and even if they want to bring in, they need to be defensive-oriented, not a super scorer like Rudy Gay, or a point-and-shoot pointer like Steve Novak, who has no defensive ability." If Rudy Gay does come to the Rockets, his style of play is very similar to Maddie, and the two of them are on the court at the same time, and it will be difficult to coexist! ”

Morey's words woke up the dreamer, and everyone was a little reminisced. Yes, I didn't expect this layer, Rudy Gay and Maddy are in the same position, playing similarly, both need to attack with the ball, and these two are on the court at the same time, it is difficult to have chemistry......

"Well, your suggestion is ......" Dawson looked at Morey with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"I'd suggest that if we do get Rudy Gay in the draft, we would immediately trade him for Battier of the Grizzlies, Artest is not bad, but unfortunately, we don't have enough chips......" Morey said as he flipped through the data records in his notebook, his little eyes flashing with shrewdness from time to time.

"Well, Rudy Gay for Battier......" Dawson pondered, "I guess we still have to add chips, after all, Battier has been verified by the league and has become a first-class defensive master in the league, and it is still unknown whether Rudy Gay can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, and the Grizzlies will not be so stupid......"

"Speaking of defense, do you remember the video I shot in China last year?" Simone, a scout who had been listening and didn't speak, suddenly interjected.

After the Sino-US college confrontation last year, he took the video of Zhang Chu to show the Rockets executives, but it did not arouse the interest of the executives. The reason is also very simple: on the one hand, it is only a low-level match filmed, and the strength and skill of both sides are very low, and it is difficult to prove anything.

On the other hand, and the main reason, Zhang Chu was too short, his height of 188 cm at the time could only play point guard in the NBA at most, but through the video, the Rockets found that he dribbled, passed, and saw the big picture, etc., and the necessary things for a point guard were not outstanding......

Therefore, the top management of the rocket unanimously decided: not interested. No, Zhang Chu, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, was looking forward to it, and he couldn't wait for the news of Team Rocket.

"You mean the Chinese little forward?" It's hard for Van Gundy, but he still has a vague impression of Zhang Chu in the video.

"Not bad!" Simone took out his DV again, and he couldn't leave his equipment. After watching Zhang Chu's game on the spot, Simone's impression was too deep, he had never seen it, and there was really someone who could keep a clean sheet against his opponent, he had only heard of it before...... Therefore, he really hopes that the Rocket team can give Zhang Chu a chance. After all, okay, it's a great thing, no, and it's not a loss to Team Rocket.

"Morey has just arrived, you can show it to him." Dawson said lightly.

Simone nodded, connected the DV cable to the computer, and showed it to Morey.

I saw that Zhang Chu in the video successfully defended the opponent's attack again and again, either stealing or blocking...... Real clean sheet ......

Morey's eyes lit up, "How tall is he?" He turned to Simone and asked.

"188 cm!"

"Alas, it's too short, if it's 10 centimeters taller, about two meters, it's definitely another defensive giant, the nightmare of the swingman, slowly cultivated, and it is likely to become the next Spurs' Bowen......" Morey kept shaking his head.

"Why don't you give him a tryout, Mr. General Manager!" Morey watched the video, closed his laptop, and muttered for a long time before finally saying a word.

"Yes, general manager, a trial is not a loss to us, but if there is a surprise, we will make a lot of money......" Simone also looked at Dawson expectantly.

Dawson took a sip of his coffee and looked around at the crowd to see that no one objected. "Alright, that's it, Simone, you take care of it!"

……

After the meeting was dismissed, Simone immediately dialed Liu Qingxue's mobile phone number, and it was Liu Qingxue's number that he left at the beginning. At this time, it is night in the United States, and early morning in China on the other side of the ocean.

"Hey, hello, is it Miss Liu Qingxue?"

"Excuse me, which ...... are you" Hearing the English coming from her mobile phone, Liu Qingxue couldn't help but think of the American Rocket Team. In the past four months, because of Zhang Chu, she has been silently looking forward to the news on the other side of the ocean.

"I'm Simone of the Houston Rockets, Miss Liu Qingxue, we met last year. I'm sorry to keep you and Mr. Zhang Chu waiting for so long. Now the senior management of our rocket team has passed the meeting and invited Mr. Zhang Chu to come to us for testing......"

……

After receiving the message of Team Rocket's invitation, Zhang Chu's side immediately took action. Since Zhang Chu led Huayang University to win the CUBA championship, he is also a well-known player in Huayang at this moment, and he is the pride of Huayang University. Hearing the news that Zhang Chu was going to the Rocket Team for a trial, the entire Huayang school reacted even more than Zhang Chu himself, and immediately helped Zhang Chu complete the visa and other procedures, and specially rewarded him with a new mobile phone for easy contact. Head coach Huang Tiangang even took the initiative to accompany Zhang Chu to the United States.

In the end, Zhang Chu persuaded him to come back, firstly, the head coach was also old, and it was too hard to travel back and forth, and secondly, the coach did not understand English, and he couldn't help much.

I'm dozens of years old, and I'm not really a teenager, besides, the Rocket Team also said that they will pick up the plane at the airport, and everything will be arranged over there.

In the end, Zhang Chu was still alone, and with his NBA dream in mind, he stepped on a direct plane to Houston......
