"Hi, hello, handsome guy" The blonde and blue-eyed Laughlin took the initiative to reach out very enthusiastically.

"Hello, beautiful lady Lovelin," said the tall and strong, very surprised that such a lady with a stunning appearance and a perfect body could be the manager of a team from the American Development League.

"The Los Angeles Defenders?" Gao Dazhuang looked at Coach Aaron McCarthy very suspiciously, and Gao Dazhuang was also very surprised how these two people who didn't seem to be compatible could come to him together.

"Da Zhuang, the NBADevelopment League where the Los Angeles Defenders are located is a second-tier league in the NBA, and it is the talent pool of the NBA, and any team in the NBA can select players to enter the NBA in the development league, and can also send players from their own team to the development league for training. Generally speaking, the NBDL is the same as the NBA team in terms of tactical play and even defensive strategy, because the NBDL is the talent that each parent team needs," explained coach Aaron McCarthy.

"The Los Angeles Defenders are part of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, and your country's Sun Yue used to play for the Los Angeles Defenders," Coach Aaron McCarthy interrupted before Laughlin could finish.

"Are you going to ask me to join the Los Angeles Defenders?" Since he came into contact with basketball, going to the United States to play has always been Gao Dazhuang's goal, but in the development league, Gao Dazhuang really doesn't know much about it.

"No, you've caught the attention of the NBA as the MVP of the World Junior Championship, and in addition to being the manager of the Los Angeles Defenders, I'm also a scout for the Los Angeles Lakers, and my main task is to recruit the best young players in the world for the Lakers," Laughlin replied with a smile as he looked at the tall man.

"Oh, wait, Los Angeles Lakers? Coach I'm a little confused, you mean? Gao Dazhuang was very surprised and asked Coach McCarthy, the famous Lakers can be said to be the team with the most fans in China, and it is also a club that Gao Dazhuang admires very much, especially the star of the team, Kobe Bryant, who is the idol of countless basketball fans.

"Shall I?" Laughlin glanced at Coach Aaron McCarthy, Coach McCarthy smiled and nodded, so Laughlin continued: "Tall and strong, 19 years old, 1.96 meters tall, 92KG in weight, very dynamic scoring point guard, with super athleticism, not afraid of confrontation, outstanding breakthrough ability, especially the left-handed to right-handed cross-step breakthrough is very lethal, excellent ability to rush rebounds, outstanding basket finisher, especially good at scoring in fast breaks, but average shooting, average defense, low level of defense......"

"Is it that bad?" At the beginning, when he heard Laughlin's evaluation, Gao Dazhuang even had a hint of pride, after all, this was from the NBA scout's evaluation of himself, but after hearing Laughlin point out his defensive problems later, Gao Dazhuang couldn't help but mutter.

"Defensively, you've really shown some decent improvement through hard work lately, but your defense is still easily affected by covers, and you don't have a good grasp of the timing of the ball, but your ability to return to defense after losing position is good, and your block rate comes from chasing back to the basket after being broken through" Laughlin's straightforward answer made the tall and strong have to admire this woman's observation ability.

"It is worthy of being the only female scout in the NBA, Da Zhuang, the NBA's scouting reporting system, which can analyze a player's various data from high school, college to the NBA, and then use the most professional vision to explain his running and jumping ability, perseverance to overcome difficulties, on-court experience, technical characteristics and development potential," Coach McCarthy exclaimed.

"Yes, tall and strong, we started to pay attention to you after the World Youth Championships, and watching you play on the spot this time strengthened our minds, you are a very potential young player, but I still have a question for you to confirm" Laughlin paused and said with a smile: "Will you participate in this year's NBA draft?" ”

Kindness? The NBA is the dream of all basketball players, the highest temple of basketball, of course Gao Dazhuang wants to go, but the first time he was asked this question so directly, Gao Dazhuang didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that Gao Dazhuang was a little hesitant, Coach McCarthy stood up and said, "Da Zhuang, at present, according to the predictions of the American draft network DraftExpress and NbaDraft, if you participate in the draft this year, you are very likely to be picked in the top 20, plus the Chinese basketball market, maybe you have a chance to enter the top 10, although you won the MVP of the World Youth Championships, which adds a lot of points for you, but you must know that there are many very potential young American players who have not participated in this World Youth Championships, That includes Anthony Davis, the hottest No. 1 pick candidate, and your results in the CBA aren't very convincing for the NBA."

"You have to know that the draft pick also has a significant impact on a player's prospects in the NBA, which directly affects your playing opportunities and time and how much attention the team values," said McCarthy, who was still a little puzzled when he saw the tall and strong.

"Will I play one more year to improve my rank? Coach: You also said that the results achieved in the CBA are not very convincing," said the tall and strong helplessly waving his hand.

"You mean to be in the NBA Draft this year?" As soon as the tall and strong words came out, Laughlin couldn't wait to ask.

"Of course, if there is a team that wants it," said Gao Dazhuang with a smile.

"Great, tall and strong, our Lakers coaching staff has shown a lot of interest in you, and we predict that you have a good chance of being selected in the top 10, and if it weren't for the disdain for the CBA league, your draft prospects would be even better, but our Lakers only have one of the last 60 draft picks this year" Laughlin suddenly changed his words.

"Oh?"

"But if you decide to play in this year's NBA Draft, we're going to actively seek a trade to get a top-10 pick, provided you're willing to play with Kobe, of course," Laughlin said with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Of course, Kobe Bryant has a lot of fans in China, and I am too," Gao Dazhuang replied very directly.

"I am very much looking forward to you joining the Lakers, we will continue to pay attention to you, and will arrange for you to go to the Lakers for a tryout, and I hope you can lead Shanghai to the playoffs" Laughlin took the initiative to reach out.

"Thank you" This is the first time Gao Dazhuang has received an invitation from the NBA.

"Come on boy, I'm waiting for you in the United States," Coach Aaron McCarthy said with a smile and patted his tall and strong shoulder.

"I'll definitely go to you, coach, you'll have to prepare a room for me," Gao Dazhuang teased with a smile.

"Haha"

……

Before leaving, Laughlin also left Tall Zhuang's contact information, and Tall Zhuang's also learned more information about Laughlin through the Internet, and what surprised Tall and Mighty was that Laughlin was once the most well-known cheerleader girl in the NBA, with a perfect ratio of 86-60-86, she was known as "the NBA's electric eyes and hips hot girl".

In the history of the NBA, there has never been a female scout, let alone a girl who came out of the cheerleading team, to enter the team's management, but Lakers owner Buss Sr. insisted on promoting Laughlin to one of the team's core scouts.

In the eyes of the world, the reason why Lashlin can occupy a high position in the Lakers is that after all, it is difficult to escape the unspoken rules of the flesh trade, but no matter what the world thinks of Laughlin, but Laughlin is the only female scout in NBA history after all, after she became the assistant general manager of the Lakers, the Lakers completed two consecutive championships, and she can be regarded as one of the heroes.

In several years of scouting and executive career, Laughlin has accumulated deep connections in the NBA and even the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and every time he attends a major event, he will inevitably wear the crown ring of the Lakers' two consecutive championships, to show that the Lakers' two consecutive championships have their own half of the credit.

"The Lakers? Sounds good" After feeling the call from across the ocean, Gao Dazhuang cherished his time in the CBA more and more, and Gao Dazhuang's next task was to participate in the CBA All-Star Game, and the Shanghai team could take advantage of this opportunity to recuperate.
