You'd better wrap me

Chapter 37 The Light Chaser Project

Another round of cheers.

In the high-level VIP room on the north side, Heat head coach Pat Riley took a deep breath, suddenly felt that he had canceled his vacation after Thanksgiving, and came to the Staples Center to watch the battle of the top high school students in the United States. It has been nearly seven years. The most correct decision.

Before scouting Chambers, he always told himself that 'there was a high school student named LeBron James who was the perfect upgraded version of Elvin Johnson'.At that time, I thought it was pure nonsense. My vision for the future of basketball was to have five players with a height of more than two meters like Johnson who could pass, run and defend. But Johnson is unique, even if Jordan is better, he cannot replace him.

Chambers has always sent LeBron James game videos tirelessly. After watching a few more games, he found that LeBron James is indeed very good, but there are still some obvious shortcomings, especially the details of back footwork and ball control. .

In terms of personality, he also doesn't like LeBron a little bit. He actually applied to the league to participate in the draft in his third year of high school.

It's too high-profile, but it's understandable that a player who wants to become a superstar must have a unique personality.

If LeBron James is trained, it may become a perfect upgraded version of Irving Johnson.

The team's related plans were then launched, mainly to get a high draft pick. Although Stern's good-natured personality is very likely to leave LeBron to Cleveland, there is always a fight. After all, the 0304 two, excellent There are quite a lot of players.

But I never expected that LeBron hadn't run yet, and Chambers said that there was a Chinese student player named Su Yang, and his influence on the game was no worse than LeBron's. The key was to grow taller and stronger. I heard that He already has a height close to 190 cm, and is expected to reach a height of about 198 cm in the end. He can hold the ball with one hand, and his wingspan and shoulder width are also very good.

The key was that Chambers told himself that the guy named Su Yang was a perfect player who no longer needed training.

Not only does he not need training, he doesn't even need guidance on tactics, because Su Yang himself is a master tactician.

At the time, I didn't believe it at all, but Chambers personally vouched for him and strongly recommended himself to watch the high school live broadcast.

As a result, less than 5 minutes into the opening,

Su Yang did show almost perfect personal abilities, weird and novel screen methods, shocking dunks with explosive physical fitness, super defensive leadership, perfect prediction of opponent's tactical movement, perfect prediction of opponent's defensive movement, and A super-long-distance predictive steal that abandons the defender is simply a fit player of Irvin Johnson + Michael Jordan.

Especially the ultra-long-distance pre-judgment steal is almost exactly the same as that of Jordan back then. The unparalleled confidence on Su Yang's face makes him feel excited even if he is in the high-level stands, and wants to shout loudly and have fun.

"The NBA is about to enter its best era!"

Letting out a breath slowly, Pat Riley couldn't hide his excitement: "Su Yang is indeed a nearly perfect player. The only possible shortcoming may be that he cannot persist in high-intensity training for a long time. In comparison, LeBron is obviously more suitable for us. ..."

Spoelstra, who was standing behind him, was speechless: Few people can withstand long-term high-intensity training.

"However, we don't have the right to choose. We can only make plans and try to get either of them..." Riley turned to look at the scout Chambers behind him, "Are you sure Su Yang will go to at least one university? That affects planning."

Chambers shook his head: "Not sure yet, but he mentioned that he wanted to feel the crazy scene where tens of thousands of people cheered together."

Riley nodded, and a strategy flashed in his mind: In 03, he signed a ten-million-level contract in the free market, and then no matter whether Anthony, Bosh, or anyone else was selected, they all continued to play badly and accumulate high-ranking draft picks.
When necessary, Caron Butler, Eddie Jones and others can all be traded, as long as they can be selected high, even at a loss, especially with the Clippers and Magic teams with brain-dead management, let them take advantage and trade High pick.

Just as he was thinking, Su Yang looked for cover at the top of the arc, broke through to the right and encountered a double-team, and directly pulled the ball behind his back with his right hand, taking advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball from the gap between the screener of Santa Monica High School and the defender of St. Mary High School Throw it over, then snatch it sideways with the whole body, bend down to pick up the basketball, kick and dash two steps, facing the St. Mary High School player who is defending, jump up and smash the dunk vigorously.

Cheers burst from the Staples Center.

"I'm not going to retire..."

Pat Riley's lips trembled slightly, "I want to participate in the upcoming NBA prosperity and try my best."

After the words fell, Chambers agreed and said yes, while Spoelstra's eyes flickered slightly on the other side.

Riley suddenly asked: "Eric, how much threat do you think the Spurs-style defensive system led by Su Yang can pose to LeBron James? If I read correctly, he also guides Jeff Van Gundy's favorite big man to the line. Flank."

Spoelstra quickly replied: "I think LeBron James is more limited by himself. He seems to want to perform perfectly in the nationally televised game, including every shot and every shot, and Su Young didn't have that concern, he was very bold, dared to give up the defender under the basket, and chose to cross a long distance to the left wing position to try to steal...

Therefore, as long as LeBron abandons perfection, those defensive strategies at Santa Monica High School will be much less effective. "

"Ah."

Riley nodded slightly, expressionless, and was very satisfied with Spoelstra's answer in his heart. Any defensive strategy will have a 50% probability of losing its effect when facing a superstar, but the premise is that the superstar has no self-limitation .

As far as LeBron's impact is concerned, as long as he takes turns attacking the defense of Santa Monica High School, he will inevitably cause a lot of fouls.

...

In another high-level VIP room.

Grizzlies director of basketball Jerry West sat next to interim head coach Hubie Brown for the new season.

"I haven't seriously investigated a rookie player for 15 years," Hubie Brown said with a look of excitement, "but from my personal experience, if Su Yang can rise to 198, he will be the next Michael." Jordan."

Jerry West nodded, and suddenly recalled the past when he confirmed that Kobe was the strongest rookie in the 5th class in 96 minutes. He was surprised why Su Yang showed such ability, but he was not sure, and even subconsciously asked Hubie for his opinion.

"He's so perfect, I can't believe it..."

Jerry West sighed, "He seems to be a basketball player created by God. I can't find any shortcomings in him. If I have to find one, it is also the deliberate high-profile mentioned in the scout report, but after such a long time , Recalling that Su Yang said that he would surpass Michael Jordan to become No.1 in NBA history, he should be serious, not deliberately high-profile as we think..."

Between the words, Jerry West felt a little headache. The Grizzlies' first-round pick in 03 was given to the Pistons as early as the offseason of 97 because of the trade of Otis Thorpe. won the first round, but this year the Rockets aim to hit the playoffs, so the draft pick will definitely not be too high. As for 04, I and Hubie rookies will have to hand over some results in their second season in office. I want to convince the boss, It will be more troublesome for the board of directors and the few fans to choose to continue to play poorly.

"If we want to get Su Yang, we must start to act now, formulate several plans, and send away any players including Gasol, just in exchange for a high draft pick. The only thing we need to worry about is that he chooses to read more. year university."

Hubie Brown gritted his teeth and made a decision: "I can accept losing on purpose, just to win a chance to choose Su Yang, just like Bill Walton shouted before, Su Yang is comparable to the sun, before we chase the sun, we can bear it dark."

"We might be crazy!"

Jerry West chuckled, "Gamble your career reputation, just for a relatively slim chance..."

Before the words fell, Su Yang on the field defended power forward Sean Cotton, took off twice in a row, and forcibly completed the block.

"Forget it, you'll admit it if you're crazy."

...

In another high-level VIP room.

Clippers owner Donald Sterling put down his cigar, "That kid named Su Yang is so popular. Sean Penn, Downey Jr., Michael Weatherly and those guys all came to watch him play. If we draft him, we can challenge The status of the Lakers."

Head coach Alvin Ginter revealed embarrassment: "I heard Elton Brand and the others discuss before, saying that if we choose Su Yang, they will collectively apply for a deal, and it will also cause us to be unable to recruit big-name players in the free market... "

Before he finished speaking, Sterling said: "Then let them all go, they are all idiots who can't help me sell tickets."

Alvin Gentry frowned slightly, "And it is very likely that Su Yang will not run directly after high school next year."

Sterling didn't care: "Then continue to play badly until he participates in the draft. I must get him."

Alvin Gentry was about to argue, when he saw Su Yang in the field rushing down, double-teamed by three people, jumping and breaking through for a layup, and then stealing a long pass from St. : "Okay, I'll try."
