NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 45
And the way of turning stone into gold will not only accumulate enough potential in the team, but also become an important means for him to win free stars in the future! !

It is even more able to hold enough voice for myself in the next few years of the draft, and the draft is definitely a way to make a fortune for myself! !
Forward vision will inevitably be questioned in future drafts, so this will be an important part of laying the foundation for the future! !

Just like what Yao Ming said before, modesty is a good thing, and it is even rarer to be educated, but!Sometimes people just need to be strong enough, and to truly grow up, they need to learn to refuse.

Blindly following the trend will only gradually stifle your thoughts. Looking at history, none of these powerful figures from all dynasties will be understood from the beginning.

Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. After all, geniuses always attract geniuses more than ordinary people...

"This……."

Although Smith really wanted to say something to Liu Rui, aren't you fooling around? ?
But when Liu Rui mentioned Wallace, Kapono, and Brezek, Smith really didn't know how to refute.

Said they played badly? !Even if he is not a blind man, is it luck? !It's all luck? ?

And Liu Rui has already said it tactfully enough, after all, even the well-known prodigal son "House" of the league has performed far beyond his worth in these few games.

And this year's second-round pick, Robinson, didn't even think about being able to play. After all, apart from a better physique, there is really no bright spot to speak of.

But in the previous few games, Robinson really opened his eyes. If it is not due to Liu Rui, who would believe it?

Other than Liu Rui, who would let a first-year second-round pick play the starting second position.

So far in the preseason, Robinson has played 4 games, including two starts.

In an average of 21.2 minutes per game, he can contribute 8.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists.

At first glance, there is nothing outstanding about the data, but you must know that this is only the data of a second-round pick who averaged 21 minutes per game.

And because of the tactical benefit, Robinson got more open shots.

The three-point shooting rate is as high as 38%! !
This alone is enough to suppress most rookies. After all, unstable shooting has always been a common problem for rookies.

Although it is difficult for Robinson to grow into an excellent player, as a player selected in the middle of the second round, he has already shown the potential to become an excellent rotation player.

This is what Smith never expected, so in any case, Liu Rui has indeed proved his strength in training players.

As for his vision, Smith has never doubted it. After all, he only planned to sign a replacement for the dead ghost at first, but after a few games, his ears were almost callused after hearing the good words about Liu Rui from the team.

Even Bickerstaff is in front of him, and he has to admit that Liu Rui has a unique vision. He can always spot the development potential of the players at a glance, and arrange the most suitable route for each of them.

Facts have also proved that Liu Rui's arrangement has brought a qualitative leap to the team so far.

Smith: "Okay Rui, let's talk about which players you are looking for. If possible, I am willing to complete reinforcements for the team for such a small matter."

"Okay, Mr. Sam, the scout, please help me to pay attention to Ariza of the Knicks. He was selected by the Knicks with the 13th overall pick in the second round this year."

"Although he will get some playing time in the new season, it will not be a lot, and it will be difficult for him to get more playing time on the front line with Alan Houston and Hardaway."

"Besides, believe me, he won't have any outstanding performances in the new season. Although I can't say that he is sure to win, his arrival can indeed make up for our current lack of defense on the front line."

Liu Rui clasped his hands and fingers, and Smith and the others were dizzy as they kept turning their thumbs in circles.

"Ray, is he doing well on the defensive end? Because this player's draft pick is very close to Robinson's draft pick, we also learned something about him before the draft."

"According to his physical test report, he is not particularly outstanding except that his wingspan is superior to some players. His offensive methods are not diversified, and his shooting ability needs to be improved, and his shooting percentage is relatively low overall."

"So Ray, are you sure you want us to follow it up?"

"Sam", the first scout of the Bobcats, was still a little puzzled to confirm with Liu Rui. After all, Liu Rui had spent so much trouble, did he just want such an unremarkable player?Even in his own opinion, he has too many shortcomings.

In terms of potential, even Sam felt that he was not as good as the team's rookie Bernard Robinson.

"Yes, Mr. Sam Ariza does still have a lot of shortcomings, but it is also his excellent wingspan and his defensive awareness that allow him to cause a lot of trouble for strikers on the defensive end."

"Although Ariza is indeed as you said, his offensive methods are relatively simple, and his shooting percentage needs to be improved, but he has the potential to become an excellent 3D player."

"And good defensive lockers and 3D players on the front line are the most missing things in our current team."

Liu Rui knew that they didn't understand his thoughts very well, so he patiently analyzed the team's lineup for them.

"Well, I will follow up with him later."

Seeing that Liu Rui in front of him was very sure, Sam didn't bother with these problems any more.

After all, this is only a second-round pick, so even if Liu Rui really needs it, there is no difficulty.

And I just need to do my own job well, there is no need to have too many disagreements with Liu Rui on this kind of matter, after all, I have already reminded enough.

"There is also a second-round pick this year. He was selected by the Bulls with the ninth overall pick in the second round. His name is Chris Duhon."

"Although the Bulls have been rebuilding this season, they have Ben Gordon and Hinrich in the backcourt."

"And Hinrich is a typical traditional point guard. He needs more possession of the ball when he is on the court. If he and Duhon are on the court at the same time, their lack of shooting ability in the backcourt will be displayed."

"Although the Bulls urgently need some fresh blood to rebuild, which will lead to Duhon getting more playing time in his rookie season, but judging from the current lineup, it is difficult for Duhon to succeed in the Bulls."

"And Duhon's shortcomings of unstable shooting have been exposed as early as in college, even though his defensive ability has reached a super-class level on the back line."

"But it was also because of the lack of offensive means that he fell to the middle of the second round."

"So Mr. Sam, am I right?"

Liu Rui raised his head and looked at scout Sam in front of him with a smile.

At this time, Sam's inner shock was already very great, because what Liu Rui said was exactly Du Hong's inadequacy.

And it's more detailed than what the scouting report said.

How could he, a head coach, pay attention to these things, and speak so accurately? ?

　Thanks to the four brothers of Chaosai for their support, thank you!
