The Whip of the God of Basketball

　　 Leon soon discovered that Scarabrian was a cute guy, except for the jokes he made when they just met and shook hands, Scarabrian always showed his kind and humorous side. He was unrestrained in front of Leon, and kept saying amused witticism, which eased the serious atmosphere that Leon had originally brought. Leon is not a relaxed and kind person in character. In the scout circle, he has always been known for his cold personality, and his evaluation of players is precise and ruthless. For example, for Scarabrian who participated in the draft this year, Leon gave him The scout report is extremely concise, with only two sentences: comprehensive skills but mediocre talent, and no development potential.

After the first contact with Scarabrian, Leon felt that he should add a sentence at the end, that is, "The personality is very good, and it will be a very good team lubricant." Seeing Scarabrian, Leon remembered With Celtics player Vitaly Potapenko, the Ukrainian insider also has a cheerful personality and likes to laugh at himself. Although his strength is mediocre, he is very popular with fans in Boston. From a scout's point of view, players like this are not really strong, but from the perspective of a team manager, they are all positive parts of a team, adjusting the atmosphere to make the locker room relaxed and happy.

Thinking of the fact that after this draft is over, the team will have a small thorn like Arenas, plus a few months to sign Chris Anderson, this kind of problem child, Leon knows that there will be problems in the locker room. But some head coaches have accepted it. If the team has players like Scarabrian, it might be much better. Looking at Brian, who was talking and laughing with the students during training, Leon felt that if the Celtics had a pick in the second round this year, it would be an unexpected good choice to win him.

　　 The first day of training soon ended. Bibby announced his disbandment at 2:30 in the afternoon. At the same time, he informed the players that he would enter the official training day tomorrow, requiring the players to arrive before nine in the morning and prepare for hard training.

Bill Sharman has been sitting on the sidelines watching the young people's training. Unfortunately, except for Scarabrian from start to finish, no other student can really recognize who he is. The old man is really an antique figure in the basketball world. . After the training, Sharman and Leon bid farewell first. He said: "Have a good job here, and Arnold will definitely send someone to check and accept. Also, I will come again in a week, and Arnold wants me Bring someone to help you learn tactics, so this week you first figure out the problems of team management. Come on boy, no one can have such conditions like you."

　　 After speaking, Sharman drove away from the University of Southern California, leaving only Bibby and Leon in the arena. The students had already ran to the locker room to change clothes and take a bath to relax.

"Let's take a look at the video room with me. I will meet that kid tonight. I will show you his performance on the court." Bibby put the topic on the help he asked for Leon. The "boy" mentioned in the mouth was a small Chicago point guard named Will Bynum. Leon watched the video of his game in high school in the video room. The 6-foot-1 boy The deepest impression of a person is strong or strong.

After watching the videos of the three games, Leon commented: “It’s really a strong little frog. It would be pretty good if he could share a little bit of height with his long bones. But he is now in the street. Good hand, good speed and power projection, great dribbling, impressive dribbling under the hip, 100 meters speed should be around 10 seconds 7. And I have to say that although he is very strong, this is in high school, I don’t think he will have such an advantage in college, especially in the NBA. No matter how you look at it, he is a good player, but it seems..."

Leon wanted to say but it didn’t seem to be worth the effort to dig him. Leon originally thought that Bibby wanted to help persuade what kind of talented high school students to join the University of Southern California, although Leon did not dabble in high school basketball. , But he also knows that as a large number of high school graduates enter the NBA with high ranks, this field is also getting more and more attention. Perhaps this Will-Bynum has a great reputation in Chicago, but Leon knew little about him. He remembered that when he was reading the Tribune in Chicago, there was a report about a basketball TV program that mentioned Byner. M, Leon was very impressed with that report, and Dockley and Eddie Curry were also participating in the show. But Leon didn't know anything about Bynum's football skills before watching these three videos.

Bibby knew what Leon meant. He shook his head and said: "Things are not exactly what you think. I want Bynum. On the one hand, considering the needs of the team, we lack such an attack on the point guard. Last year, against Duke last year, no one was able to score with the ball at a critical moment. If there is a striker like Bynum, we might be able to bite the score. In fact, I contacted Bynum as early as last summer, and he was interested at that time. He has always played in California, but in the end he signed a letter of intent to play at the University of Arizona in November. He will go to Arizona to sign up this year. However, he will have another chance to change before the official registration. There will be a training camp in Los Angeles recently. , Bynum signed up for training camp to come to Los Angeles, I have invited him to meet tonight. No matter what, I have to win him, the guy Olsen, they already have Jason Garnard and they want to grab bye Nahm, it's simply to set up obstacles for me on purpose..."

Speaking of Bibby has gritted his teeth in the end, Leon can see that Bibby wanted Bynum not so much from the perspective of the team, as from the perspective of competing with the University of Arizona, after all, with this school Love, hatred, and hatred can be hard to say. He used to be an assistant coach at the University of Arizona, where he started his coaching career, but was expelled from the NCAA for admissions violations. At that time, the University of Arizona did not give Bibby any asylum, but directly terminated the contract with Bibby, forcing Bibby had to go to CBA, unable to take a regular upward path like most famous teachers.

　　 So when he became famous 10 years later, he gladly accepted the invitation of the University of Arizona's arch-rival at the University of Southern California to become the assistant coach of the Trojans. Unexpectedly, when he became the head coach of the University of Southern California, the University of Arizona took away his son. Once bitterly persuaded Mike Bibby to come to Southern California, the old Henry was once again stabbed severely by the University of Arizona, so when the Arizonans took Will Bynum again, Bibby did everything possible to take Bynum from They grabbed it back.

Leon’s arrival undoubtedly added a boost to Bibby~www.NovelMTL.com~ At a steak shop near the University of Southern California in the evening, Bibby and Leon met Will Bynum who came to Los Angeles to attend the training camp. . In order to regain Bynum, the expenses of Bynum's registration for the training camp, as well as the accommodation and food expenses, are reimbursed by Bibby, and this steak meal is no exception.

　　 Leon saw Bynum who was about the same height as himself. This young and strong black boy looked very stocky with broad shoulders and a short neck. He has a silent personality. He just eats steak at the dinner table and simply responds to what Bibby said to him. When Bibby introduced Leon, Bynum just nodded and didn't respond much. It seems that Bibby's strategy to attract Bynum through Leon's well-known scout has failed.

"What else do you want to eat? Would you like a caramel biscuit? I think you like it..." Bibby looked at Bynum, who was sullen, and could only try to break the dull situation by ordering him. Up. It seems that Bynum does not refuse Bibby's help to him, but he does not seem to have much interest in coming to Southern California to play.

Leon stared at Bynum for a while. After Bynum finished the third steak in front of him, Leon asked, "How is your mother Rose? If you go to Arizona in the future, who will go in Chicago? Take care of her? For people with poor kidneys, Los Angeles is actually a good sanatorium, which is good for his health."

　　 Bynum finally stopped his mouth. He raised his head to look at Leon and said, "How do you know my mother's kidney is not good."

Leon took a sip of coffee, pointed to his head and said, "You know, I have everything in my mind~www.NovelMTL.com~ Welcome to read the latest, fastest and hottest. The serialized works are all at ~www.NovelMTL.com~ For mobile users, please go to read.
