Chapter 31

John Wallace is a scout for the NBA rockets.

As we all know, in 2002, the Rockets chose Yao Ming as the top draft pick.

Later, in 2003, Yao Ming began to land in the NBA and quickly became the most successful Chinese basketball star.

The rise of Yao Ming has given the Rockets great exposure and influence in China. The Rockets have also become the most successful NBA team in business in those years because of Yao Ming.

Therefore, the Rockets hope to replicate Yao Ming's Miracle: select an excellent Chinese basketball player and set off a rocket boom in China again.

John Wallace's duty is to look for and investigate excellent and potential Chinese players in China.

Originally, Wallace's focus was on the outstanding young players who had just emerged in China in the past two years.

But in the past two years, Huaxia is indeed an excellent basketball newcomer without any explosion in China.

Therefore, John Wallace had to expand his scope of investigation.

He noticed that the Yuzhou blue whale team was a new CBA force.

Moreover, the blue whale team is still composed of all Chinese classes, and there is no foreign aid in the team.

John Wallace wants to watch a game of the blue whale team and have a simple understanding of the members of the blue whale team.

After he came to Yuzhou, he heard many bad news about the blue whale team: there was infighting before the game, and the club drove away the main point guard and team captain. The most interesting thing is that the blue whale team actually signed a small point guard with a height of 173 cm. The point guard had not received systematic basketball training before. He was a college student before joining the blue whale club.

The news did not interest John Wallace much.

Now, the playing style of NBA is very different from that of Yao Ming.

Today's NBA plays in the era of small ball fast attack. It plays the high-speed rotation of attack and defense. Moreover, the three-point ball has been mentioned to an unprecedented position.

Every team attaches great importance to three-point pitchers.

Even the center in the interior must have an accurate three-point, and then can survive.

The NBA does not reject dwarfs.

However, if it is too short, it is doomed to fail to achieve great success.

Now in the NBA, tall and large guards are popular, and nearly two meter high point guards can be found everywhere.

A small 173cm point guard was defended by other people's tall point guards. It is estimated that he can't play at all.

John Wallace sat in the stands of the Yuzhou blue whale and Jinmen Golden Lion competition with a look at it for the time being.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Fei's hand felt hot. In a short time, he scored 10 points and nearly got 20 points in the first quarter.

Moreover, Wang Fei not only scored high, but also excelled in assists, rebounds, blocks, steals and other data.

This made John Wallace feel amazing at the moment.

"God! This little Chinese player is really great. He's fast, jumping high and shooting very accurately. What's more, he's very efficient in defense." John Wallace muttered.

However, John Wallace did not act rashly.

To investigate a player, we should at least watch his game for a period of time, and then synthesize his performance in order to make a more objective evaluation conclusion.

Playing a good game is nothing at all!

John Wallace resisted the urge to call rockets manager Morey.

The second quarter begins.

Wang Fei sat on the bench to rest.

The blue whale team was hit by a strong counterattack. In a little more than two minutes, it was hit with a 10-0 climax.

John Wallace shook his head after Wang Fei was sent on after the suspension.

Wallace thought: the intensity of the CBA game can't be compared with the NBA. If the little man's physical ability can only play a quarter in the CBA, he is doomed not to be suitable for playing in the NBA.

However, Wang Fei's subsequent powerful outbreak surprised John Wallace.

"God! It's too violent. The shooting is 100% hit! I thought he couldn't keep up with his physical strength. It's estimated that he couldn't play the game. Unexpectedly, he would break out again. At half-time, he had 42 points. He had strong data in rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. This is definitely a new talent! He should have no problem playing fast attacks under small balls. I think I should call Mr. Morey, "Wallace said to himself.

John Wallace left his seat and came to the bathroom aisle.

It's relatively quiet here.

At the moment, it's 8:20 p.m.

According to the time difference between China and the United States, it's almost 9 a.m. in Houston.

Morey also just came to his office. He drank coffee and looked at the newspaper on the table.

This is also the leisurely moment of Morey's day.

Suddenly, Morey's cell phone on the table rang.

Morey picked it up and looked at it. He found that it was John Wallace.

Mo Leixin said that now is the time for the start of China CBA League. Has Wallace found another powerful new player?

Thinking so, Morey answered the phone: "good morning, Mr. Wallace!"

"Ha ha! Mr. Morey, I'm here in the evening. I'd like to tell you a great news. I found a super genius! I think if we can win him, we can make business flourish in China! Moreover, we can find a strong helper for Mr. harden! I believe he will be a very important player in the puzzle of rockets winning the championship "Ring!" said John Wallace excitedly.

Murray raised his eyebrows. He didn't pay much attention to what John Wallace said.

A super genius?

Will super genius pop up?

So many scouts are staring at Chinese players! However, no one found that there are any powerful newcomers in China recently! The most powerful newcomers in China are Guo Allen, Wang Zhelin and others, right?

But seriously, these people are not really super geniuses!

Maybe in CBA.

In the NBA, it's estimated that everyone will disappear.

"Mr. Wallace, it's hard. What's his name? Which team is he from? What are the specific characteristics, such as who is his template in the NBA?" Morey said.

Morey's tone was flat.

John Wallace is a little depressed.

I finally found a super newcomer. Mr. Morey's performance is too frustrating, isn't it?

"His name is Wang Fei. He is the main point guard of Yuzhou blue whale team. He is only 19 years old. If he has to find a template in the NBA, I think he is very similar to Iverson. He has lightning speed and very comprehensive skills. Mr. Morey, this is Wang Fei's first CBA game and only played half a game. Do you know what data he has got?" Said John Wallace.

"Oh? Can it be compared with Iverson? What kind of data did he get?" moreden showed great interest.

Iverson can also be regarded as a legend in the NBA.

Iverson in his peak period was a great player who scored more than 30 points per game.

"He got 42 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 4 steals! His shooting percentage is as high as 100%, whether it's three points or other shots!" John Wallace said.

"What? Got 42 points at half-time? Shot 100 percent? My God! Is this true? If it is true, it is definitely an immortal genius!" Morey exclaimed.

"Yes, sir, I think he is definitely a genius. His basketball IQ is very high. I think we should find a way to recruit him into the team," John Wallace said.

Morey was also interested at the moment. He wanted to ask about Wang Fei: "Mr. Wallace, how tall is he? How does he bounce? Does he have amazing explosive power?"

John Wallace said, "he's a little short, but I don't think it should be a problem, Mr. Murray."

"How high is it? It can't be as high as Iverson?" Murray asked.

Iverson is 183cm tall.

This height is already a small man in the eyes of many people.

John Wallace said bluntly, "yes, yes! Wang Fei is not as tall as Iverson. Wang Fei is only 173 cm. He is ten centimeters lower than AI."

With that, John Wallace was a little uneasy.

He said in his heart that this height is really too uncompetitive.

Morey won't lose the child immediately because of his height, will he?

"What? It's only 173 cm? My God! Is it too low?" Morey exclaimed.

"Sir, Nate Robinson is also very low, and Isaiah Thomas is not tall. I think his ability is no lower than that of Isaiah Thomas. He can definitely help our team. Moreover, if we can recruit him, he can bring us great commercial benefits in the Chinese market!" said John Wallace.

Isaiah Thomas is little Thomas, known as the strongest 175 on the earth's surface

Nate Robinson is only 173 cm tall in shoes, but he has won the NBA dunk contest three times!

"Mr. Wallace, if you really think this young man is very good, please call me after watching the game." Morey shrugged.

"Yes, Mr. Morey, I will! But let me remind you that this young man's performance is so hot that we must start earlier to avoid being robbed by others," said John Wallace.

"Sir, I will always pay attention. However, this player is a young player. I think we must get him through the formal way of draft. If we get him in other ways, it is unfair to him, and he may not be willing to cooperate," Morey said.

"I understand, sir, I understand everything, so I won't bother you." John Wallace hung up the phone, and he was a little depressed.
