basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 13 The villain Lan Feng
After dinner, Xia Hongfei invited Lu Ziqiu to drink tea at home, but Lu Ziqiu declined on the grounds that he was tired.

Xia Kexin sent him back to the villa, and apologized: "My dad was too hasty today, please don't take it to heart."

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly, avoided her topic, and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Xia Kexin was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head in astonishment.

"If you don't mind, can you record something for me?"

Xia Kexin said happily: "Of course it can."

"Okay, let's go to the study." Lu Ziqiu nodded and took out his laptop.

Xia Kexin was faintly excited. She knew that Lu Ziqiu didn't seem to care about it today, but in fact he had already started to compete.

Originally, she didn't care much about the team's results, but Zhao Fenghui's sense of superiority everywhere today really annoyed her.

When the two arrived in the study, Lu Ziqiu turned on the computer and asked, "Do you know what is the most important thing in choosing a player?"

Xia Kexin said firmly: "Data, now is the era of data, the value of a player can be analyzed through data."

Lu Ziqiu shook his head.

Xia Kexin was stunned, "Am I wrong?"

"You are right, all teams are analyzing data now, but the data is only an intuitive expression of the value of the players, it is not comprehensive."

"Then what is the most important thing?"

Lu Ziqiu pointed to his chest, "Heart."

Xia Kexin was even more astonished and puzzled? "Heart?"

"That's right, a good player must first of all love basketball very much in his heart. Only a player who truly loves basketball will give his all for victory. A player who devotes himself wholeheartedly will not care too much about personal data. Yes, of course, this is not absolute."

"But now to measure the value of a player, the most important thing is various statistics, followed by the performance on the field."

"This is something that the management and fans consider. The head coach thinks more about whether the player is suitable for his own tactics, and I think more about the professionalism and psychological endurance of a player."

While speaking, the computer was turned on, and Lu Ziqiu handed her a notebook and a pen, "You can record the players I have selected later."

Xia Kexin nodded heavily, and looked curiously at the player database on his computer. It was so detailed that she couldn't see it. The team also had a dedicated data analyst, but compared with his, it was nothing.

Lu Ziqiu said: "The expansion draft will start soon. What we need to do now is to analyze what kind of players each team may send out to participate in the draft."

Xia Kexin nodded excitedly.

"Let's talk about last year's championship team, Qingzhou City Huaxia Team. The most important thing for their team to win the championship is the Big Three and a group of high-quality players. Their main rotation lineup last season is definitely impossible to take out to participate in the draft. If the three players whose contracts are about to expire are excluded, then there are only three players left for them to participate in the draft, namely center Lan Feng, point guard Gooden and small forward Allen."

Xia Kexin picked up a pen to record, but heard Lu Ziqiu say: "Don't worry, wait until I let you write it down."

Xia Kexin nodded awkwardly, "Okay."

"Gooden is their third point guard. He is good at speed, but his shooting is unstable, his organizational skills are weak, and the overall situation on the field is not good. However, he is flexible on his feet and good at switching defenses. However, due to his short stature, his single-defense ability is weak. Poor, it is easy to be targeted on the field, we will not consider this player for the time being."

"Alan is a player with very good physical condition. He can run and jump, but his body is thin and his foot is unstable. Once physical contact is increased, his movements will be seriously out of shape, his technique is rough, and his mental quality is poor. An embarrassing task."

"Lan Feng, 210cm tall, is an out-and-out villain on the court. He has a despicable, rough, and dirty style of play, lacks offensive skills, average single-defense ability, and is not very good at grabbing rebounds, but this guy He has a very good mental quality, is good at playing with his brain, and is flexible with his feet. He does a good job of defending and switching defenses. If this person is used well, he is a very good blue-collar player. Just write it down. If the opponent releases this person, We're going to take him no matter what."

Xia Kexin recorded it carefully, but looking at his main statistics, he averaged 1.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game during the season. There are a lot of technical fouls, and in such a short playing time, there are actually 6.8 per game.

After copying here, I suddenly feel dull, and I am not even interested in the subsequent data analysis.

Lu Ziqiu smiled slightly, "Do you think this person's abilities in all aspects are very average?"

Xia Kexin nodded with a wry smile, "I think he has a lot of technical fouls, and from what you said before, he is obviously a stabbing player. Can such a player be useful?"

"He is not just as simple as stabbing the head."

"Huh? Does he still cause trouble?"

"Do you know what he is best at?"

Xia Kexin shook her head blankly.

"What he is best at is to piss off the other side, and at the same time fan the flames. It can be said that he can do all kinds of evil on the court."

Xia Kexin's hands trembled when he heard this, "Why do you say that you have to win such a player?"

"Three reasons."

"What three reasons?"

"First, a villain like him who refuses to admit defeat can inspire the fighting spirit of the players on the court; second, others can't use him, but I can use him, and I can use him very well; third, I am an old friend with him Yes, we both admire each other's character."

Seeing him so confident, Xia Kexin was a little surprised, "Are you sure you want to choose him?"

Lu Ziqiu solemnly said: "I'm sure, even if I pay for next year's pick, I will find a way to get him. Believe me, if I dare to ask him, I will be able to make good use of him. He is a very tough person. On the court, There's very little that can hit him."

"In that case, we must find a way to get him here."

"Okay, but I may need your help then."

"Me?" Xia Kexin pointed at her nose in astonishment, "What can I do?"

"You are studying psychology, which can just help me communicate with them more. As for when and what kind of problems need to be communicated, I will tell you at that time. As for how to communicate, it depends on you."

She dare not say anything else, but she has absolute confidence in psychological counseling, "No problem, just ask when you need it, and I will do my best to do my best."

Lu Ziqiu nodded with satisfaction. Although he was also the general manager and head coach when he was in the Bobcats, he was constrained by many factors in selecting players. Now it is the honeymoon period when he has just cooperated with the Wolves. The opportunity to flex its muscles.
