"It's just our domestic high school league in Dragon Country. It's impossible to attract NBA scouts to come here, right?"
"If it's Cuba or CBA, I can understand a little bit, it's just a high school league."
"Yes, no matter how conceited we are, we never thought that our high school league could catch up with the level of the beautiful country."
"In terms of physical fitness alone, it's far behind."
"Even our domestic five-star high school rankings are modeled after the rankings of high school students in the beautiful country."
"In the field of basketball, they do have a better system and players than us. There is nothing to say."
"Looking at him talking and laughing with Yu Bowen, could it be that Yu Bowen invited him here?"
"I heard that when he was studying abroad in a beautiful country, he studied at many famous basketball universities."
"Isn't it right? Yu Bowen is also from the Imperial City King Kong team. What does it mean that he doesn't look for good prospects for the Imperial City King Kong team and directly invites NBA scouts to come?"
"What a weirdo."
"He is indeed the strangest scout among all our clubs."
…
The arrival of Yu Bowen and Jackson shocked many domestic scouts.
Everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts.
Yu Bowen didn't care either.
After saying hello to Zhai Haihua, Guo Dongqiang and other familiar people, he took Jackson and sat next door to Zhai Haihua.
He and Jackson had talked a lot on the way here.
At this time, he started chatting with Zhai Haihua on the side.
"Isn't this Yi Li, the insider who swept all the major teams in the high school league last year?"
Yu Bowen glanced at the sharp-edged Yi Li, nodded imperceptibly, and said to Zhai Haihua with a smile.
Zhai Haihua woke up from the shock, gathered his thoughts, nodded and said to Yi Li:
"Yi Li, this is Mr. Yu from the Imperial King Kong Team."
Yi Li understood the idea and greeted Yu Bowen politely: "Hello, Mr. Yu."
Yu Bowen smiled and waved his hand, "If Mr. Zhai hadn't signed you before me last year, I would have definitely signed you to the Imperial King Kong Team."
"Why, isn't it enough that you have Liu Qingwen, who is number one in the five-star high school rankings? You also want to sign the number one and number two?"
Zhai Haihua smiled.
Yu Bowen shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Actually, I am more optimistic about Yi Li than Liu Qingwen."
"Including my own set of screening procedures, the final screening results are also better for Yi Li."
"What I just said was not a polite word to Mr. Zhai."
"If I were asked to choose again, I would still choose Yi Li over Liu Qingwen."
When Zhai Haihua heard Yu Bowen's words, he was stunned at first, and then felt happy.
Yu Bowen is indeed an alternative in their scouting circle.
But there is one thing about him that makes Zhai Haihua and others admire him.
That is, in the field of basketball, Yu Bowen never flatters anyone.
Zhai Haihua knew that since Yu Bowen said this, it meant that this was what he thought in his heart.
He didn't expect it either.
In Yu Bowen's heart, Yi Li is actually stronger and has more potential than Liu Qingwen.
"Brother Yu, I feel very happy when I hear what you said."
Zhai Haihua smiled and said:
"It's not easy to snatch the player you think is the most talented player from your hands."
"Hahaha."
Since becoming a scout, Yu Bowen has a completely different style from traditional scouts.
His ruthless vision and precise selection of people have been recognized by the industry.
Yu Bowen smiled and shook his head, "It's good for Yi Li to be in Nanguang."
"With Ah Lian's guidance and training, he will naturally progress faster than he did with the Imperial King Kong Team."
Yu Bowen is not too obsessed with not grabbing Yi Li last year.
In his heart, he just felt a little pity.
It's a pity that it wasn't Yi Li who went to Nanguang.
But Yi Li's talent is still a little bit lacking, and there is no way to send him to the NBA.
Yi Li is 19 years old this year, and his height has grown from 205 last year to 206 this year.
The position he plays on the field has also changed from the center in the school team to the power forward today.
Occasionally plays center forward.
With his height, he naturally has a huge advantage in the high school league.
But when it came to the professional league, it was inconspicuous at all.
Zhai Haihua did not dwell too much on Yi Li's issue. Instead, he changed the subject, gently pushed Yu Bowen with his arm and said:
"Brother Yu, did you invite him here?"
Yu Bowen knew that Zhai Haihua and the others were very curious, so he smiled and nodded.
"When I was studying in a beautiful country, I met Jackson by chance."
"Later, we gradually became friends."
Upon hearing Yu Bowen's exact reply, Zhai Haihua's shock did not diminish at all.
As one of the top scouts in the country, Zhai Haihua certainly knows something about his peers in other parts of the world.
Of course Zhai Haihua has heard of Justin Jackson sitting next to Yu Bowen.
In addition to being a scout for the wealthy Lakers, he also has another identity:
The youngest son of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.
Zen Master, that is the legendary championship coach who led the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers to achieve three consecutive championships respectively.
The basketball god Jordan and the Black Mamba Kobe have all played under his command.
The head coach with the most NBA championships.
The head coach with the highest winning percentage in nba history.
The status and connections he has in the NBA are unimaginable.
As his youngest son, Justin Jackson inherited his old man's excellent genes.
He has very unique insights and abilities in the field of basketball.
Although he is only a scout for the Lakers now, many people know about it.
This position is just a place for him to practice.
Zhai Haihua was shocked and asked softly:
"Brother Yu, what do you mean by inviting him over?"
Although he had some guesses in his mind, he was not sure.
After all, this speculation is too shocking.
In the history of basketball in Dragon Country, there has never been any local player who was favored and discovered by NBA scouts in high school.
None.
Yu Bowen smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhai, don't be surprised."
"What I mean is what you have in mind."
"I am optimistic about Zhenzhong No. 3, and I am willing to help him make the best use of his talents."
Hearing Yu Bowen's answer, even though Zhai Haihua was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
But after a while, Zhai Haihua suddenly frowned:
"Brother Yu, does the boss of your Imperial City King Kong Team know about this?"
Zhai Haihua's meaning is very simple.
Yu Bowen's superficial identity is, after all, a scout for the Imperial City King Kong Team.
Even if he is optimistic about a young player, shouldn't he try his best to recruit this young player into the Imperial King Kong team?
Just skip your home team and contact someone from the NBA?
Is this somewhat irregular?
Yu Bowen understood what Zhai Haihua meant and smiled slightly:
"I always like to follow my heart when doing things."
"In my opinion, with Lin Weirui's talent, playing in domestic leagues at all levels is a waste of talent and time."
"That's why I discussed this meeting with Teacher Xu."
"As for the boss of the Imperial King Kong Team, will they blame me for this?"
"To be honest, I don't care."
"Over the years, how many rising stars have I recruited for the Imperial King Kong Team?"
"If you really feel unhappy with me, just shoot me. It doesn't matter."
"But if it's just the boss who doesn't like me."
"He probably can't drive me away yet, haha!"
Yu Bowen's words directly made Zhai Haihua's eyes widen.
Good guy.
You don't even pay attention to your own boss?
…
While Yu Bowen and Zhai Haihua were chatting, Xu Jie had already arrived at the Shuiyun Basketball Stadium.
He glanced casually and saw the students from Class 9 wearing uniform jerseys in the best viewing position in the stands.
Xu Jie kept walking and walked towards the students with a smile.
