Chapter 38 Training Results
The coach said 'let go of the fight', which made everyone in the Sequoia team smile knowingly.

The Pac-7 regular season is drawing to a close, and the Sequoia ranks [-]th, and it will last until the end of the season without accident.

Before playing against Arizona State'Sun Devils', UCLA'Bruins', and California Berkeley'Golden Bears', the Sequoia team's identities are all challengers. They must maintain a serious attitude and cannot relax in the game.

Against the Washington State 'Cougars', they finally turned into a big monster.

"This gymnasium has a large area, a lot of high-tech equipment, and luxurious decoration. It is said that the investment in the basketball team is very large. Why is the 'Puma' record so bad?" Tianyang asked doubtfully.

Shelfield on the side replied: "The arena is not as good as the players. We are currently in the Spokane campus, which is close to Seattle and Portland, but the economic development level is far inferior to those two cities. Moreover, it is extremely hot in summer and extremely cold in winter. The temperature difference between day and night is extremely exaggerated. If you were a famous player in high school, would you choose to play in this ghost place? "Puma" has several starters now, and they transferred from other universities because they couldn't start. You know ?"

Tianyang nodded. To put it simply, the 'Puma' is either unavailable or available, and it is difficult to reach the average level of players in the Pacific [-] League.

……

In the Beasley Arena, on the left high-rise stand, Jared found a seat. After repeatedly confirming the number, he quickly sat down, opened his backpack, and took out his notebook.

As a Nuggets scout, he is ready to start the last job of the day.

The Nuggets are in a period of reconstruction. Last year's rookie Jokic performed amazingly. The team director asked Jared to find several shooters for the team this summer to form a classic combination of big men and shooters.

Recently, Tianyang became popular. After finding out that the Sequoia team will play in Spokane, he temporarily changed his business trip plan and decided to inspect Tianyang, and then went to Seattle by the way.

The player hadn't played yet, so he looked around boredly, and unexpectedly found many of his peers.

Not far from him, the Bulls scouts are busy writing; on the right side of the high-rise stand, there is a faint resemblance to the Celtics scouts; the Eagles scouts are sitting in the front row of the field chatting, and the object is walking Jays scouting.

Jared shook his head slightly. Five NBA scouts watched SkyOcean's game at the same time, and the difficulty of writing a report was a level higher. After all, the circle is so big.

He hadn't finished with emotion when he suddenly heard someone calling his name. Looking back, he saw Booth, the player director of the Pelicans.

"Wow, you have to come here in person? The distance from New Orleans to Spokane is about the same as that from Los Angeles to New York. Are you playing Portland away?" Jared asked.

Booth smiled, walked to sit next to him, "No, I came here specially."

"Then you really work hard, I want to learn from you!"

"The owner and general manager of the Lakers went to his game in person, so what am I?"

Booth used Jim Buss and Kubchak as examples, and Jared was silent for a moment. He thought to himself: "The Lakers and Pelicans are so important, but the management asked me to investigate whether I can meet the first-round standards. Fooled?"

The two chatted for a while, and the game between the Sequoias and the Pumas officially started.The NBA scouts present all expected Tianyang to perform well in this game.

But they really didn't expect that in just 8 minutes, Tianyang made 4 of 4 shots and 2 of 3 3-pointers. With a 100% shooting rate, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, and scored 18 points.

The scouts finally confirmed that Coach Johnny said on the phone that Tianyang has a super high shooting level, without any bragging.

What surprised the scouts even more was that the point of "Tianyang's poor physical confrontation" repeatedly emphasized by ESPN and other media was not exposed at all.

Regardless of offense or defense, Tianyang can not lose the upper hand in the matchup, and sometimes even has the upper hand.

Coach Johnny also seemed to want Tianyang to play more. He didn't replace Tianyang to rest in the first half, but Tianyang's face was only excited but not tired, and he didn't pretend, because in the last round, Tianyang was Carried the defender to break through and score a layup.

Throughout the first half, Tianyang scored 28 points. Although the opponent 'Puma' was relatively weak, he also double-teamed Tianyang. His score was not due to the strong wind.

On the stands, Jadley frowned and scribbled with the pen in his hand. He was feeling rather irritable at the moment.

This year the Nuggets may get three first-round picks, with a high probability of one top 3 and two 10-20.

The excited expressions of the scouts present, especially the frequent nodding of Booth next to him, made him realize that the 20-25 pick was obviously not good, but he did not dare to make suggestions for the top 10.

Because the rookie shooting guard is a position with great risks and a very low success rate, it is very easy to lose everyone.

Throughout the history of the draft, since 79, no shooting guard has ever been elected as the No. [-] pick. Even Allen Iverson was a point guard before entering the NBA.

The current development trend of the NBA is that most of them are combo guards, and some even have two small forwards without shooting guards. Pure shooting guards are already very rare.

In today's NBA, the only players who can be recognized as pure shooting guards in the first place are Korver and Redick.

But in terms of the style of play shown by Tianyang in this game, he is obviously not the kind of person who squats in the bottom corner when attacking, and then waits for his teammates to pass and shoot.

His style of play is Kobe and Harden's style of play. The point guard brings the ball to the frontcourt, and then he handles it.He either attacks himself or creates opportunities for his teammates.

In other words, Tianyang is positioned as a core player. If he is selected with the top 10 picks and fails to perform in the end, Jared's scouting career will be completely over.

Of course, he could have written the scouting report as a suggestion to choose Tianyang with the 20-25 pick, but that didn't meet his original intention.

With a tangled mood, Jared watched another half of the game.After reading it, he became more irritable and more entangled.

Tianyang showed a good level of ball control in the second half and easily resolved 5 triple-teams by the Puma players. Although they scored fewer points, they sent a lot of assists.

In the end, Tianyang scored a super double-double of 42 points and 14 assists. Even if the opponent ranked bottom, this data is still full of gold.

"How? What do you think of him?" At the end of the game, Booth asked with a smile.

Jadry put down his pen, "The super bench gangster can be trained as the team's sixth man, and is worthy of the 15-20 pick."

"I think so too, let's take a step first, and see you next time" Booth stood up and said goodbye. After leaving his seat, he immediately took out his mobile phone, and the editor wrote: "Find a way to get a 10-15 pick, but announce our The interest is the 15-20 pick."

At the same time, Jadry, who was still in his seat, also pulled out the number of the Nuggets management.

He checked the edited text message again, yes, the 15th-20th pick.

But the moment he was about to press the send button, his finger switched to the delete button.

"I suggest taking a gamble with the top 10 picks. If we win the bet, we will rebuild directly, and if we lose the bet, we won't lose much."
