The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 9 9. Stan Pretends

"Coach Stan, Su Jiu's performance in today's game was very good, and Su Jiu was finally facing failure in this year's draft, and none of the teams in the league offered him a contract. Only the Magic team offered Su Jiu a two-year contract amidst everyone's doubts."

"Does this mean that the Magic team has discovered Su Jiu's personal talent before this?"

At the press conference after the game, most of the media's interviews with Van Gundy revolved around Su Jiu.

In fact, Su Jiu is the biggest highlight of this game, definitely not one of them.

Without Su Jiu's personal outburst, this would be a unilateral massacre, which would not be very attractive to the reporters.

As an old fox, Van Gundy heard the reporter's words at this moment, and the eyeballs under the glasses rolled unconsciously, and then he cleared his throat and said to the reporters:

"That's right, although Su's personal physical fitness is not bad, but before the draft, he was unanimously looked down upon by all the teams."

"No one thought that Sue could complete his foothold in the NBA until I watched a Sue performance in the summer league. From then on, I felt that he definitely had more potential to be tapped."

"That's why I tried my best to get the Magic to sign a two-year contract with Su."

"Su's growth can be said to be witnessed step by step by me, but I didn't expect his talent to be better than I expected, so I was no less shocked than you at the time."

Sure enough, after hearing what Stan Van Gundy said, the reporters below also broke out a lot of noise.

Because as the head coach of a team, it is naturally the job of the coach to arrange troops on the field and lead the team to achieve outstanding results.

But an excellent head coach must not only lead the team to achieve good results on the field, but also be able to provide valuable advice for the team's construction off the field.

Throughout the long history of the NBA, the head coaches who can achieve these two points are all historical legends.

So hearing Stan Van Gundy's words at this time made the reporters re-examine his vision.

Because no matter what Su Jiu's achievements in the NBA are in the future, as long as he has the strength to gain a foothold in the NBA, then Van Gundy will definitely be able to spread a good story because he was discovered by Van Gundy as a draft pick.

What I like most in the NBA is the story of the counterattack of the useless wood. Not to mention the loss of the draft, even the successful counterattack of the second-round pick can leave a strong mark in the history of the NBA.

If it is the undrafted pick, then the deterrent effect will be even greater.

It is indeed too early to discuss whether Su Jiu has the ability to gain a foothold in the NBA at this time, but those who have watched the game know very well that Su Jiu's ability to control the court is definitely far superior to most rookies in the same class.

What's more, Su Jiu is still one of the few yellow players in the league.

This alone is enough to compose a long article.

Adding the words of Stan Van Gundy at this time, it even unconsciously reminds people of the story of Bole and Maxima.

So compared to those official interviews and answers, what the reporters prefer to hear is this kind of classic story that catches the wind and has plasticity.

"Then Coach Stan, when other teams in the league have not discovered this, you have discovered Su Jiu's talent on the court. This is a good thing for both you and Su."

"But in this game, why didn't you bring Su to the field until the last time period? Is there anything we don't know about it?!"

Hearing Van Gundy's answer, the reporters were also very excited, and at this time they continued to ask Van Gundy.

"Well, this, ahem, the outside world may not know the details of this, and this has already involved the internal information of our team, so I have no comment on this interview for the time being, sorry."

Van Gundy dealt with the reporters on the podium again, and then hurried to the players' lounge with the assistant coach behind him.

At this time, Su Jiu, who was in the players' lounge, was also facing the excited celebration of his teammates.

It was different from what Su Jiu thought at the time. Su Jiu thought that after the game, his teammates would definitely pester him to ask questions.

But the actual situation is that the entire locker room is led by Howard, a living treasure. Compared with why Su Jiu suddenly behaved so amazingly, their attention is more on the celebration of Su Jiu.

After all, as a rookie player who has just entered the league, Su Jiu has received so many eyes in his first show. This is simply a successful debut.

"Su, come out for a moment."

Su Jiu was chatting and laughing with his teammates, because Su Jiu was very familiar with these Magic players.

Even in the previous life, these people were all defeated by him, ahem, if it counts in the 2K game...

He heard someone calling his name at the door, without even looking up, Su Jiu knew it was that guy Stan Van Gundy as soon as he heard the voice.

And Su Jiu also knew what Van Gundy was going to ask him. Fortunately, Su Jiu sorted out his thoughts just now and thought of some countermeasures.

At least before the start of the next game, Su Jiu must ensure that he will not show his flaws.

"coach."

Facing Stan Van Gundy, Su Jiu scratched his head in embarrassment.

It gave people the feeling that this was a young boy, completely different from the elegant and agile boy who was on the court before.

Fortunately, Van Gundy didn't know much about Su Jiu's character.

After all, this is an undrafted pick. Before this game, apart from some of his physical test data and his usual performance, Van Gundy didn't pay any attention to him at all.

Because the status of the undrafted pick in this league is simply not too low.

"Su, your performance in today's game was very good, especially your ball-handling skills, but I didn't seem to see you show these in the training games before."

Van Gundy patted Su Jiu's shoulder with a smile, as if he was saying words of encouragement to Su Jiu, but in fact, this sentence was also a hidden murderous intention, at least it included Van Gundy's doubts about Su Jiu.

"Well... Actually, I don't know why, but I feel that I am in two states during training and competition. As long as I play a game, I feel like I am a different person."

"It's normal for me to be in this situation, coach."

After finishing speaking, Su Jiu looked nervously at Stan Van Gundy in front of him. As for whether this nervousness was feigned or genuine, it was impossible to know...
