The Almighty King of Sports

Chapter 31: He is 10 cm lower than Iverson

John Wallace is a scout for the NBA Rockets.

Everyone knows that in 2002, the Rockets selected Yao Ming for the No. 1 overall pick.

Later, in 2003, Yao Ming began to land in the NBA and quickly became the most successful Chinese basketball superstar.

The rise of Yao Ming has given the Rockets a great exposure and influence in China. The Rockets have also become the most commercially successful NBA team in those years because of Yao Ming.

Therefore, the Rockets hope to replicate Yao Ming's miracle: choosing an outstanding China basketball player, once again set off a rocket craze in China.

John Wallace's duty is to look for and investigate outstanding and potential Chinese players in China.

Originally, Wallace's focus is on outstanding young players that have just emerged in the country in the past two years.

But in the past two years, China has indeed been an outstanding new basketball player with no explosive styles in China.

Therefore, John Wallace had to expand his scope of investigation.

He noticed that the Yuzhou Blue Whale team is a new CBA army.

Moreover, the Blue Whale team is composed of all-China classes, and there is no foreign aid in the team.

John Wallace wanted to watch a game of the Blue Whale team and had a simple understanding and understanding of the players of the Blue Whale team.

After he came to Yuzhou, he heard a lot of bad news about the Blue Whales: Infighting occurred before the game, and the club actually fired the main point guard and team captain. The most interesting thing is that the Blue Whales actually signed a small point guard with a height of only 173 cm. This point guard had not received systematic basketball training before. He was born in wild ball and joined the Blue Whale club. , Is a college student.

These news did not interest John Wallace too much.

Now, the NBA's playing style is very different from that of Yao Ming.

Today's NBA is playing in the era of small ball fast break, playing high-speed offensive and defensive rotation, and three-pointers have been mentioned to an unprecedented position.

Every team values ​​the three-point shooter.

Even an inside center must have a precise three-pointer before he can survive.

The NBA doesn't reject short guys.

However, if it is too short, it is destined to be unable to achieve great success.

In the current NBA, tall guards are popular, and point guards with a height of nearly two meters abound.

A small 173 cm point guard is defended by someone's tall point guard, and it is estimated that he will not be able to use it at all.

John Wallace also sat in the stands of the Yuzhou Blue Whale and Jinmen Golden Lions game with the attitude of taking a look.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Fei's hand felt hot. In a short time, he scored 10 points and nearly scored 20 points in the first quarter.

Moreover, not only is the score relatively high, Wang Fei is also very good in assists, rebounds, blocks, steals and other data.

This made John Wallace immediately feel astonished.

"God! This little Chinese player is really amazing. He is fast, jumps very high, and shoots very accurately. What's more surprising is that he is very efficient in defense." John Wallace The soldier mumbled.

However, John Wallace did not act rashly.

To inspect a player, at least look at his game for a period of time, and then synthesize his performance, in order to make a more objective evaluation conclusion.

Hit a good one, it's not a big deal at all!

John Wallace suppressed the urge to call the Rockets manager Morey.

The second quarter began.

Wang Fei sat on the bench to rest.

The Blue Whales immediately met with a strong counterattack. In a little over two minutes, they were hit with a 10:0 spurt.

John Wallace shook his head with Wang Fei's fatigue after being sent to the court after a timeout.

Wallace thought: The intensity of the CBA game is not comparable to that of the NBA. If this little man can only play one game in the CBA, then he is destined to not be suitable for playing in the NBA.

However, Wang Fei's subsequent powerful explosion surprised John Wallace again.

"God! It's too violent. He made 100% of his shots! I thought he couldn't keep up with his physical strength. I guess he couldn't play the game. Unexpectedly, he would explode again. 42 points in the half, rebound , Assists, blocked shots, steals, all aspects are very strong. This is definitely a talented rookie! His speed to hit small **** and fast breaks should be no problem. I think I should call Mr. Morey." Wallace said to himself.

John Wallace left his seat and came to the toilet passage.

It's relatively quiet here.

At this moment, it is already 8:20 in the evening.

According to the time difference between China and the United States, at this moment, it is almost 9 o'clock in the morning in Houston, the United States.

Morey had just arrived in his office too. He was sipping coffee while flipping through the newspaper on the table.

This is also the most leisurely moment of Morey's day.

Suddenly, Morey's cell phone rang on the table.

Morey picked it up and took a look, and found that it was John Wallace calling.

Morey said in his heart that now is just the time when the China CBA League starts. Could it be that Wallace has discovered another amazing newcomer?

Thinking about this, Morey answered the phone: "Mr. Wallace, good morning!"

"Haha! Mr. Morey, I am here at night. I want to tell you a great news. I found a super genius! I think if we can take him down, we can definitely do business in China Fengshenghui! Moreover, we can also find a very powerful helper for Mr. Harden! I believe that he will be a very important part of the Rockets' championship puzzle!" John Wallace said excitedly.

Morey raised his eyebrows. He didn't pay much attention to John Wallace's words.

A super genius?

Does a super genius pop up suddenly?

So many scouts are staring at China's players! But no one has discovered that there are any great newcomers in China recently! The most powerful newcomers in China are just Guo Ailun, Wang Zhelin and others, right?

But these people are really not super geniuses!

Maybe it's ok in CBA.

When it comes to the NBA, it is estimated that everyone will be lost.

"Mr. Wallace, you have worked hard. Tell me, what is his name? Which team is it from? What are the specific characteristics, for example, who is his model in the NBA?" Morey said.

Morey's tone was plain.

John Wallace was a little depressed.

I finally found a super newcomer, and Mr. Morey’s performance was too frustrating, right?

"His name is Wang Fei. He is the main point guard for the Yuzhou Blue Whales. He is only 19 years old. If you have to find a template in the NBA, I think he is very similar to Iverson, with lightning speed and very comprehensive. The technology. Mr. Morey, this is Wang Fei’s first CBA game, only half of the game, do you know what kind of data he has obtained?" John Wallace said.

"Oh? Can you compare it to Iverson? What kind of data did he get?" Morley showed great interest immediately.

Iverson can be considered a legend in the NBA.

At his peak, Iverson was an excellent man who averaged more than 30 points per game.

"He scored 42 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks, and 4 steals! His field goal percentage is as high as 100%, whether it's three points or other shots, all of them!" John. Wallace said.

"What? Achieved 42 points at halftime? 100% of the shots? My God! Is this true? If it is true, it is definitely a genius!" Morey exclaimed.

"Yes, sir, I think he is definitely a genius, his basketball IQ is very high, extremely high. I think we should find a way to recruit him to the team." John Wallace said.

Morey's interest also came up now. He wanted to ask a little bit about Wang Fei's situation: "Mr. Wallace, how tall is he? How is his jumping? Does he have amazing explosive power?"

John Wallace said: "His height is a bit low, but, Mr. Morey, I don't think this should be a problem."

"How high is it? Isn't it not as high as Iverson?" Morey asked.

Iverson is 183 cm tall.

This height is considered a small man in the eyes of many people.

John Wallace squatted and said, "Yes, yes! Wang Fei is not as tall as Iverson, Wang Fei is only 173 cm, he is 10 cm lower than AI."

After saying this, John Wallace was a little uneasy.

He said in his heart that this height is indeed too uncompetitive.

Morey wouldn't lose the child immediately because of his height?

"What? Only 173 cm? My God! Isn't this too low?" Morey exclaimed.

"Sir, Nate Robinson is also very low, and Isaiah Thomas is not tall, I think his ability is not lower than Isaiah Thomas, he can definitely help our team. And, if We can recruit him, and he can bring us huge commercial benefits in the China market!" John Wallace said.

Isaiah Thomas is little Thomas, known as the strongest on the surface 175.

Nate Robinson is only 173 cm tall in shoes, but such a short man has won three NBA slam dunk contests!

"Mr. Wallace, if you really think this young man is very good, then please call me after watching this game." Morey shrugged and said.

"Okay, Mr. Morey, I will! But, let me also remind you that this young man's performance is so hot, we must start earlier so as not to be robbed by others." John Wallace said .

"Sir, I will always pay attention. However, this player is a young player. I think we must get him through the formal way of drafting. If we get him in other ways, then it is unfair to him. , And he might not be willing to cooperate." Morey said.

"I understand, sir, I understand everything, then I won't bother you." John Wallace hung up the phone, and he was a little depressed.
