Chapter 49 Draft Quotes

Christmas is the most important day of the year for most Americans.

However, for others, the happier they are, the more painful it is for them to work overtime.

For example, Lorikar, a scout for the Suns, even on Christmas, still has to work overtime.

He must make a scout report as soon as possible, the sooner the better. After all, there are some things that the team needs to make decisions early.

Just after Christmas, Lowry took the report and found Brian Colangelo, the general manager of the Suns.

"Brian, I think it's necessary for you to take a look at this report."

"Is it about Chen?"

To be honest, Brian Colangelo's existence is quite embarrassing, after all, his dad just sold the team.

As a result, as a newcomer, the new boss did not dare to adjust the management of the Suns team as soon as possible. After all, outsiders and experts will always be questioned.

So, as the son of the former boss, Brian Colangelo continues to serve as the Suns manager.

However, Brian really likes this profession. He is not embarrassed at all, but he is very motivated to work.

"Is it Chen's report?"

Regarding Chen Mo's attention, the Suns were definitely the earliest NBA team, and Brian was also the earliest NBA manager.

It is mainly in Phoenix, as one of the most important Chinese settlements in the United States, everyone's focus is very clear.

In addition to Yao Ming's game attracting a large number of Chinese spectators, Chen Mo's news is also very marketable.

After seeing Yao Ming's attraction to Chinese fans, Phoenix began to pay attention to Chen Mo.

Especially as Yao Ming plays better and better, Brian believes that Chinese people can adapt to the NBA.

What's more, the huge commercial benefits brought by Yao Ming really attracted the attention of NBA bosses.

Therefore, Phoenix took the lead in paying attention to Chen Mo.

In Brian's opinion, as long as Chen Mo is capable, it is good to sell tickets for a few minutes per game.

However, what I didn’t expect was that the more Chen Mo beat, the better he was, and naturally more and more people were paying attention to it.

Brian looked at him and moved from selling tickets to Chen Mo himself. Is he one of the team's puzzles?

Until the last game against Kansas, Brian's determination was even stronger.

Looking at Lowry's report, Brian was a little surprised, but after the surprise, he was a little worried.

"Lolery, are you talking about it true? Chen, has the strength to enter the lottery zone?"

"Of course, if UCLA's grades are not bad, I think it's not just about entering the lottery zone."

Brian had a headache, especially looking at Chen Mo's relevant information, including physical test data, and personal characteristics analysis.

This is not an ordinary player, it is clearly a star of tomorrow who can be used as the core to build a team.

"So, we can't get Chen?"

Brian was a little disappointed, but it was just a player, so it didn't matter.

“NO!

Brian, I don’t think so. My prediction of Chen’s ranking in the lottery zone is a judgment based on various reasons.

But don’t forget that Chen has been in contact with regular basketball for less than a year, and he still has great room for improvement.

In my opinion, Chen should be one of the top rookies next year, and he is very suitable as the core of the team.

You see the game against the University of Kansas, it is completely the leader and the most perfect core player.”

"I know, Lowry, you're right, but do we need core?"

For a team that has Steve Marbury, Anne Fenhadaway, and Stoudemire, does he need a core?

Not to mention anything else, even if they are willing to do this, are Marbury and Hardaway willing?

Lowry really wants to say that these two are just cancers, not leaders.

If possible, trade these people directly. As long as Chen Mo and Stoudemire grow up, the Suns have the chance to enter the finals.

Unfortunately, Lowry is just a small scout and is not qualified to interfere in major business events.

"Lowry, although Chen is very good, we have the opportunity to make it to the playoffs this year, and that's the most important thing."

"But, Brian, it's just a chance. What can I do if I make it to the playoffs?"

Lowry's words were almost urging Brian to make trouble, just to chase Chen Mo.

If you have the chance to choose James, Brian might do this, but Chen Mo obviously can't do it.

Lowry left the manager's office helplessly. Brian's words were very simple. It was still early to the draft and could be observed slowly.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can understand that Chen Mo is important and the draft is important, but the Suns themselves are the most important.

Even if Lowry said that he met Hunter Rubin in Lawrence, it would be useless, and Brian ignored it at all.

But, Brian also said that the Suns would seek to trade upward draft picks if necessary.

On the other hand, in Miami's Sunshine Sea Rhyme, Hunter Rubin finally wrote a scout report.

In this scout report, in addition to Sinrich, he also specially marked Chen Mo.

Hunter Rubin sat in a chair honestly and quietly, waiting for the old man in front of him to read the scout report.

Hunter can still rely on his seniority in front of others, but not here.

Pat Riley, known as the God of Purchase, is one of the most successful head coaches and general managers in the NBA.

Moreover, the boss’s favorite is an employee like Riley, who receives the salary of the head coach and works as a general manager and head coach.

Of course, if his salary can be lower, I believe he likes more bosses.

Next year, Riley will create a new profession called puppet coach. That's right, the kind of person who stands and doesn't work and gets a free salary.

"This Chen is very good!"

Hunter quickly said: "It's indeed a great player, especially since he has not been under professional training for a long time."

"Do you think he's better than Hinrich?"

"It may be too early to say that he is better than Hinrich now, but due to his talent, Hinrich's future achievements are limited."

"Wait and see, remember to give me a professional report from Chen Mo every month."

After all, Riley wouldn't be so troubled if he had the chance to choose James.

However, he knew very well that Stern would not let him get what he wanted, and even Stern was becoming more and more strict with them, such as the older coaches.

"I see!"

Hunter knew very well what this special scout report meant.

You should know that as a scout for the Heat, he needs to provide a coupon of scout reports that cover all players every month.

As for the scout report of a person alone, only players Riley is very optimistic about will have.

This season, only James from St. Mary's High School, Anthony from Syracuse University, Wade from Marquette University, and Bosh from Georgia Tech.

Now, there is another one more, that is Chen Mo, Chen Mo from UCLA.

It's normal that half of the season has not passed, and the draft lottery has not yet begun. It's too early to talk about who to choose.

This situation not only happened in Phoenix and Miami, but in fact, NBA managers have begun to pay attention to the player.

Perhaps, even Chen Mo did not expect that his talent show has been rising step by step.

The Christmas holiday is over soon. I have to say that the NCAA is still relatively humane and will not arrange any Christmas wars.

In a few years, as the commercialization of NCAA becomes increasingly higher, it is not so easy to spend a Christmas peacefully.

Soon, UCLA ushered in its last game of the year, against the University of Michigan.

On December 31, and the last day of the year, UCLA will face the University of Michigan at home Poly Arena.

During Christmas, Chen Mo almost spent it in the gym and was in good condition.

He was in good condition, but the others were terrible, and he looked completely unintended.
