Starting as a Scout

Compared with a lot of basketball novels that are systematic and novices, and even basketball novels that don't know all the knowledge and data about basketball, I think this coaching article is considered a masterpiece. At least those who understand basketball, come on!

Some time ago, I noticed that there was a comment about "Oden was re-drafted 10,000 times in 2007". I simply replied and explained, but I didn't expect that many new veterans agreed. An old veteran replied to me just now and thought I was wrong. Here is a summary of Oden's draft process for everyone. First of all, the overall conclusion: Absolutely Instead of choosing Oden even if they re-elected him ten thousand times, they had to choose Durant the second time. At first, the Blazers were very hesitant between Oden and Durant. The Blazers finally made up their mind to choose Oden. It was the Blazers team who looked at all the high school and college videos of Oden and Durant and believed that Oden was more of a "natural winner" than Durant. Kevin Pritchard, the general manager of the NBA and the current general manager of the Pacers, said it himself in an interview. You can search for news and English links on Baidu. For this [born winner], the Trail Blazers ignored Oden's long and short legs (it was detected before the draft, not after the draft, and not after Oden arrived in the CBA). Doctors believe that many big players have long and short legs, which will not affect Oden's career. Facts have also proved that the problem of long and short legs is not the key. Oden's injury was due to heavy drinking after the draft, and his physical function declined, which aggravated the injury to his already injured knee. The reason why he suffered the knee injury was because his leg muscles were too weak to support such a large leg. Weight has never improved. For this [born winner], the Trail Blazers ignored Oden's poor performance in the trial, even though many Portland fans who were watching at the time could already accept the Blazers using the No. 1 Pick to select Durant, because Durant's invincible performance in the trial made the then general manager Kevin Pritchard and head coach Mike. Milan was shocked. In addition, many general managers were more optimistic about Durant before the draft, because Durant's performance in college was beyond Oden's. Kansas coach Bill Self even bluntly said that Durant is the strongest player he has ever seen. Bill Self is not a half-empty coach. He is a Hall of Fame coach and will not brag against his will. A college player. Of course, even Bill Self said he would still choose Oden, unable to escape the limitations of the times. Going back to the so-called "natural winner", the fact is that Oden lost a few games less than Durant. The Blazers management at the time did not dare to take the lead and try Durant as a psychological comfort. That's it. Deeper, I didn't expect Oden to be so miserable. He didn't even reach the average passing line, so he didn't complete the guarantee task. If Oden wasn't so miserable, he was an ordinary choice. As for why Oden was so miserable, the Blazers management also took the blame for making Oden eager to come back. The same goes for Brandon Roy.

It is very professional and is one of the few basketball articles that writes about tactics. But does the author take it for granted that the players have mastered so many tactics within a short period of time? If they were really so good, wouldn't all of them be star players? They would also be a bit naive in dealing with interpersonal relationships. No matter how good a person McMillan is, there is no way he would let the protagonist threaten his position as coach. Otherwise, what's the use of him? Building prestige within the team is a long-term process. Will those multi-millionaires who have the ability to look above the top listen to a newcomer? Let alone a Chinese-American

Don't be a eunuch, the writing is good. Come on

It's the first time I've ordered all of them, haha. I've also ordered all other books for the first time. The results of your book seem to be a bit poor. Come on, don't give up!

Did the author write this book to fulfill his dream? After reading more than a hundred chapters, the protagonist has been reborn for two years. In 07, the protagonist worked as a scout for the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers still chose Oden; Everything seems to have changed, but it seems like nothing has changed.

I don't understand why I went to the Lakers again... Why are so many NBA novels about the Lakers? Kobe is certainly powerful, but he doesn't need to be paired with him in every novel, right?

Nowadays, few people are chasing after Kobe Bryant, but after reading book reviews, there are still many black James. In a novel, the author is encouraged to black James. . . . . . Heiba, I wish you a good life.

Although the assistant coaching process is very fast, and the game process is also very picky, but it is very interesting to watch. Entering the Thunder stage, the summer league assistant coach was fine. The protagonist played in the preseason, but did not feel any tactical arrangements, only saw mistakes and chicken soup. In the first few games of the regular season, the protagonist pretended to be dead, just talked about a little chicken soup, without any tactical arrangements, and then suddenly became the Celtics' nemesis. Is it so easy for the defending champion to be beaten by a few people who just entered the league? Although Westbrook has high potential, he started the game without even acclimating to it. He only knows how to pour chicken soup. Is it possible for him to win the Rookie of the Year award? Compared with Rose, Beasley and even Mayo in his rookie season, he has no advantage. For Durant to win the scoring title, ten or twenty points are not enough. Why, we plan to give him nine consecutive 50+ points later. Jeff Green is gone and he is still an all-around warrior... Why did the article change so much after becoming the head coach...

It looks a bit familiar today. I saw that Durant, the scoring leader in the third season with 68 wins, had the third best record in history but no MVP. I found out that it was because of this abandonment. In 2007, Nowitzki's data was either the best or the first MVP for an international player because of 67 wins. As a result, 68 wins could be lost to 61 wins. It's not like Jordan lost to Malone when he was tired of MVP.
