ace marshal

Chapter 179

"Cancel your expedition plan, activate mine ~!!"

This is Brooks's response after watching the USC game led by Nick Young recommended by Lan Shengli.

Even if Nick Young leads the team to win, Brooks still doesn't like Nick Young. It seems that the Clippers will not use their first round pick to select this crazy junior shooter.

Maybe Nick Young will choose to stay in school for a year.

While speaking, Brooks had already left USC by car.

"So, where are we going next~!?"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Stay in California, waiting for a guest from afar~~"

Brooks replied.

"Could it be the player we missed before~!!, the main center of Ohio State University, Greg Oden~~"

"But I heard that the media and experts are unanimously optimistic that Oden is the top pick~!!"

Although Lan Shengli guessed correctly, it seems that this Oden is not the object of Lan Shengli's favorite investigation.

It's like, a poor boy, he doesn't dare to imagine that he can fall in love with Miss Qianjin.

"This guy is like a toad who wants to eat swan meat~~"

Lan Shengli sighed secretly.

"You don't have to go, stay in Los Angeles, I will go by myself~"

Brooks' words were still merciless.

"No~~, Mr. Brooks, I will definitely follow your plan~!! Don't worry~!!"

When Lan Shengli saw this, he immediately "behaved".

Because the game between Ohio State University and Stanford University will start tomorrow, Brooks parked the car back in the training base, prepared some materials, and then set off directly without stopping.

"Hey~~, it seems that the chances of seeing Bruce will be less and less in the future, and now I'm starting to wonder if I should hire this guy as a temporary worker for a month~!!"

Seeing Lan Shengli leaving in a hurry, Taylor, the afro who was sitting in the office, sighed.

It can be seen that Taylor is really relaxed now.

While speaking, Lan Shengli and Brooks had already arrived at the airport, bought their tickets and started waiting for the plane.

"I'm not going back tonight, I'm going to San Francisco, it's a business trip~"

Here, Lan Shengli called Dawei and started to report.

"Well, it seems that in the future, we will often get together less and leave more~~"

Here Dawei hung up the phone and sighed.

"Your girlfriend~!?"

Seeing Lan Shengli hung up the phone, Brooks asked.

"Oh, no, it's brothers who live together~~"

Lan Shengli replied quickly.

"This guy usually doesn't care about my private life at all, why did he suddenly ask today~!?, how strange~!!"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

"What are you thinking~!? Security check~~"

Brooks reminded that the two were ready to board the plane.

"By the way, Mr. Brooks, are you ready for the game~!?"

After getting on the plane, Lan Shengli asked.

"You don't have to worry about it, I will naturally have tickets~~"

Brooks closed his eyes, rested his mind, and said.

Lan Shengli didn't ask any more questions, but also closed his eyes and took a rest.

After about an hour and a half of flying, the two arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area.

After getting off the plane and taking a long-distance bus for nearly an hour, the two of them finally arrived at their destination, the seat of Stanford University: Palo Alto.

Because it was very late, the two of them quickly found a hotel to stay.

Maybe it was because they had to get up early the next day, so Lan Shengli and Brooks fell asleep immediately.

Although the competition didn't start until three o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them checked out early the next morning and set off early.

After breakfast, the two went directly to Stanford University.

"Hey, I haven't been here for a long time~!"

Standing at the school gate, Lan Shengli felt the atmosphere around him and sighed.

"Why, have you been here~?!"

Brooks asked.

"Well, yes, when I was in China, I wanted to apply for studying abroad at Stanford. I had already reached the interview stage, but I still failed. Later, when I was a teacher at Berkeley, I also came to Stanford several times to exchange and study. , but it was a long time ago~~"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh and preach.

"The past can only be looked back, let's look forward~!!"

Brooks said, and the two walked into the campus.

Different from the pre-game atmosphere at USC, Stanford, although there are not many promotional slogans, but "basketball-related workers" like Lan Shengli and Brooks can be seen everywhere. more media professionals.

"Presumably they should all come to see Auden, after all, he is the top pick of the reservation~~"

Upon seeing this, Brooks sighed.

"Is that Oden really that strong~?! I have watched some highlights of his games before. In college, including high school, Oden's dominance in the interior is still quite terrifying. I just don't know. Next What would happen if it was the intensity of the NBA game~?! Besides, it seems that Oden still has certain potential injuries, which is not a small problem~!!"

Lan Shengli analyzed it.

It seems that Lan Shengli is not optimistic about this "reserved champion".

"Bru, there is one thing you must remember, that is the process of the draft, most teams value not the actual combat power, but the potential~!! Many players who played very well in the NCAA, in the They didn't even make it to the first round of the draft, and many players even became undrafted. One of the important reasons is that they have no potential to be tapped. It is difficult for them to play in such a high-confrontation game like the NBA. Their ability~!! Just like Nick Young, this is why I don’t like him, I can’t see more potential in him~!!”

Brooks' explanation also taught Lan Shengli a good lesson.

"It's been almost a week since I followed this guy, and this passage may be the most beneficial passage I've ever heard~!!"

Lan Shengli sighed secretly.

"So in the final analysis, the objects you are currently investigating are all those with relatively strong extreme combat power, and what I am investigating has potential~!!"

Brooks went on to explain.

"Then again, there is no market for rookies with combat power. Those teams that pursue performance and aim at the championship need such rookies, and judging from the current situation of the Clippers, it is still early It’s more practical to find a rookie with better talent and more potential~!”

Another interpretation by Brooks made Lan Shengli nod again and again.

"And the current Greg Oden is a player who has good combat power and unlimited potential, and has booked the No. [-] pick~!!"
