Chapter 90 Showcase

"Gal, listen to me, this hot money is indeed a genius, and his physical fitness is at the historical level even in the NBA!" Ivanka Dukan said into the phone.

"Ivanka, why are you talking about this Asian again? Didn't I say it? Put your mind on other places. Unless Asian players are as tall as Yao Ming, don't waste the manpower and material resources of the team. !" The voice on the other end of the phone seemed to have no interest in Ivanka Dukan's proposal.

"No, Gal, you believe me, although this guy is not as tall as Yao Ming, but his physical fitness..."

"Okay, okay!" The current general manager of the Bulls, Gal Forman, said impatiently: "I have already read the player information you gave me, and I still say the same thing, our team is now No need for this Asian."

"What, what? Gal, are you sure you've carefully read the player information I sent you? Such a potential stock, spending a first-round pick, is absolutely guaranteed to make money, you..."

"Ivanka, don't you want me to save face for you?" Hearing that Ivanka Dukan was still chattering and recommending "hot money" to himself, Gal Forman's voice was instantly displeased, and he directly Interrupted Ivanka Dukan and said: "Ivanka Dukan, I think you are relying on your seniority to sell your old age! Now that you can't find potential players, you use this kind of bullshit fake news to prevaricate me! Look! Look at the player information you gave me! The wingspan is 7 feet 9 inches, the standing reach is 9 feet 9 inches, and the run-up jump is 39 inches. What the hell is this maximum reach of 13 feet??? The key is that he is still a Chinese Man, oh Chinese, this is an insult to my IQ!!! Ivanka Dukan, do you really think I'm an idiot???"

"But Gal, what I said is true! Although the physical test report seems a bit exaggerated, I can guarantee that there is absolutely no false news from top to bottom in this information! Believe me, as long as we remove him , the revival of our Bulls is at hand!"

"Enough!!!" Gal Forman angrily scolded: "Using the team's first-round pick to select a Chinese center whose height is not over 220cm, I will never pass this opinion! So far, if you mention it to me again, you can go directly to the accounting office to receive three months' salary!" After speaking, there was a "beep" sound from the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that Gal Forman hung up. Cut off the phone.

"Add...shi.t! This idiot! This idiot!!!" Ivanka Dukan shouted angrily when she saw the other party hang up the phone.

At this moment, Gal Forman, who was far away in the Windy City, was sitting on a leather swivel chair and sneered disdainfully, only to hear him say: "Ivanka, this old guy, wants me to make a fool of myself in front of the boss? There is no door I, Gal Forman, will let you know that under my leadership, the Chicago Bulls can still become a dynasty team and make history! What Chinese people, what hot money, go to hell with me! As long as I can support Derrick Rose, I can become the new godfather of the Chicago Bulls!!!”

Throughout January, the record of the Lakers did not improve. It was only 12 wins and 9 losses until the last day after defeating the Hornets. It's not so pretty anymore.

However, Tang Qian's Los Angeles defenders are still vigorous, and they have only lost less than 4 games in total. They are considered to be the leaders of the Western Conference.

But right now the focus of the entire NBDL has already shifted to another matter.

That is Showcase.

What is Showcase?Friends who are familiar with NBDL must have heard about it. This is the biggest focus of the NBDL league in a season.In the hearts of NBDL players, the All-Star Game, playoffs, and finals are not half as important as this Showcase.Why do you say that?This is due to the nature of the NBDL alliance.

To put it bluntly, the NBDL alliance is a springboard alliance.

A large number of players joined it, not for the MVP or for the championship. Most athletes have only one purpose.

That is to use this as a medium to finally set foot in the holy land of basketball, the NBA.

Otherwise, do you really think how attractive the three broken contracts of NBDL are?
Go to any European league or Asian league to make money, and you can earn much more than this place.

Since this is the case, why do so many players break their heads every year and want to join the NBDL?

To put it bluntly, it is to earn a lot of money and a big contract.

To put it more beautifully, it is for the opportunity, for the dream.

Compared to the NBA Draft, which has a pitifully small number of people every year, this place provides a broad stage.And it is true that every year, a large number of people are signed by the NBA and become members of that supreme hall.So no matter how low the wages and how bad the treatment is, there will always be an endless stream of people who come to this league to try their luck.Furthermore, even if there is really no hope of entering the NBA in the end, the players who come out of the NBDL are also the targets of competition from major leagues outside. Therefore, although the turnover of NBDL league personnel is large, they are always full of vigor and ambition. with vigor.

Especially during this Showcase, all the people are even more motivated, wanting to show their faces in front of the major scouts and even the general manager.There is no other reason. During this period of Showcase, NBA teams have the highest chance of signing and also the largest.Under the temptation of this "big prize", who can not show the strength to breastfeed?
Even some of the defensive team's substitute players have been "excited" and full of energy these days.

On February 2, this season's Showcase will start in Los Angeles, and the Defenders, as the host of this season, naturally occupy a certain geographical advantage.At least the suffering of traveling and traveling is avoided.

"Hot, it's Showcase tomorrow, aren't you nervous?" Travis Heyman looked at Tang Qian and asked.

"Well, it's okay, I didn't pay much attention to it." Tang Qian's all thoughts are now on the Chicago Bulls. As for the Showcase, he is somewhat neglected.

But other people are different from Tang Qian. They are all gearing up, waiting to perform well on the Showcase stage, and then they will be favored by the goddess of luck, and an NBA team will sign them away.

"I don't care too much? Oh.my.god~hot, are you kidding? This is the most important day in the entire NBDL league, how can you face it with this attitude?" Regarding Tang Qian's reaction, Telavi S. Heyman was extremely surprised, because in his opinion, Tang Qian's behavior was not normal at all.

"It doesn't matter, it's all about playing games anyway, what's the difference?" Tang Qian replied flatly after dribbling the ball.

"Of course there is a difference! And the difference is huge!" Travis Heyman was afraid that Tang Qian would not understand, so he explained patiently: "Tang, I can tell you that during those five days, there was no Teammates, only opponents!"

"There are no teammates, only opponents? What do you mean?" Tang Qian was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Showcase, do you know what we call it privately?"

"what?"

"Swipe data day." Travis Heyman said.

"Mad data brushing day?" Tang Qian was startled, and said, "What is crazy data brushing day?"

"It means that during those five days, everyone had only one thought in their hearts..."

Looking at Travis Heyman's expression, Tang Qian realized: "You mean, brush data?"

"Bingo!" Travis Heyman said, "Even if you're working hard, you won't even care about the team's victory or defeat, and just focus on scoring points and assists!"

"Score points and assists?" Tang Qian caught something, and quickly asked, "Then Travis, is anyone doing rebounds and blocks?"

"Rebounds? Blocks?" Travis Heyman thought for a while, and said, "It seems that not many people are doing this. After all, rebounds and blocks are not as eye-catching as scoring, and these two statistics are not what you think. You can get it by brushing."

"Then I understand." Tang Qian said with a smile.

"What do you understand?" Travis Heyman asked.

Tang Qian replied with a smile: "I understand what data I should swipe in those 5 days."

"You mean..." Travis Heyman said in surprise.

"That's right." Tang Qian nodded and said, "In this way, the team's victory is guaranteed, isn't it?"

On February 2012, 2, the Showcase of the NBDL season officially started at the home court of the Los Angeles Defenders.

Different from the normal NBDL regular season, these 5 days will be a centralized melee. As mentioned earlier, the NBDL is different from the NBA. The team's funds are limited, so most of the games are played in the same district or between neighboring districts. in between.But today, the situation is different. Since all NBDL teams have been collectively gathered together, teams that are particularly far away also have a chance to compete.Furthermore, this Showcase is different from Tang Qian's imagination, it has very strict competition specifications.Why do you say that?Despite the mere 5 days of the game, Showcase actually has the selection of the best team, which is divided into the best first team, the best second team, the best third team and the MVP.Of course, they are all independent and do not overlap with the honor of the whole season.

Moreover, the game time has also been changed. It is different from the usual evening competition. In order to save time, starting from the afternoon, the games will start in turn, and will not end until all teams have played two games.

"Hot, did you see, that's the Charlotte Bobcats scout, the third row over there is the Atlanta Hawks scout, the fourth row from the left is the Minnesota Timberwolves scout... oh, the guy in the middle , He is Ernie Grunfeld, the general manager of the Washington Wizards! I didn't expect him to come in person too!" Travis Heyman and Tang Qian made a big introduction and said excitedly: "It seems that this Showcase will sign a lot of people! I remember that in the Showcase last season, 11 players were directly signed away on the first day. I wonder if this number can be refreshed this time?"

11 players were signed away in one day?It seems that this Showcase has a lot of magic power!

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway, just try to help the team win.

Just as Tang Qian was thinking, a familiar "dang" sound suddenly rang in his ears.

Ren, task?

Tang Qian entered the "different space" and saw that the small white card clearly read:

Selected as the best first team in this Showcase, get the first professional honor, a random card will be rewarded for success, and a random ability crystal brick will be deducted for failure.

PS: Writing this chapter took too much time to look up information, and there are very few Chinese materials about NBDL's Showcase. Xiaozi even had to browse some English websites to find information. For the sake of Xiaozi's writing, Everyone, give me some favorites, and some recommended tickets~~~ tears run~~~
