0713: [So, shall we bet $10,000?] 】
Scouts from all over North America start their doors at 10 a.m., and they speak highly of the young talent recruited by the Duke's training camp. Many teams have even called their most senior stadium managers here.
These include Celtic's Meritorious Scout, Harry Barnard, who has single-handedly unearthed Lagalondo, Paul Pierce, Anthony Walker and even Robert Parish. and Marty Blake, who served as the NBA's scouting director for more than 30 years, and whose ability to dig for gems is considered unique in the NBA. On his list of highly recommended players are stars such as Sikmoma, Terry Porter, Tim Hardaway, Karl Malone, Dennis Rodman, Ben Wallace and Joe Dumas. (Among the above names, there are not a few who were flattened by the league before participating in the draft, and Ben Wallace simply lost the draft).
In addition to this, there is Isaiah Thomas, who Snoopy is most familiar with.
He recently took over as vice president of operations for the Nets, and Russian oligarchs have taken a fancy to his abilities and close relationship with Snoopy.
Shortly after the forty-two scouts entered, the media began to enter.
But only Time Warner was allowed to carry the camera. Time Warner saw a business opportunity and paid millions of dollars for the exclusive video rights to the camp.
This made other media sigh why they didn't get ahead of the curve. Even large TV stations such as ESPN and TNT are sighing, why not spend money to buy live broadcast rights? If it's certain that Snoopy will compete with these talented players, it's definitely a profitable business.
However, there is no regret medicine in the world.
Fortunately, the message released by the Duke brand has made them look forward to more: this is only the first session, and all business cooperation is still in the discussion stage. Next year, we will do even better. We welcome major TV stations and media to work together for a win-win situation.
In Daphne's design, the Duke Camp will move towards a model similar to the Nike Global Summit.
Whereas... There are people who are willing to pay for the idea.
In the morning, the players trained individually with the help of their trainers.
Snoopy, for his part, has been making jumpers from the corner...... Bang bang!
The sound of striking iron is endless.
His shooting is standard, but he just can't throw a goal.
Isaiah Thomas, who was sitting on the stairs, couldn't help but smile and said to the old-timers Barnard and Blake next to him: "Snoopy is not the kind of player who looks like he has an explosion of talent at first glance. But when he's in the environment, everyone can feel his potential. ”
Barnard nodded.
He's seen the Celtics slaughtered by Snoopy two years in a row, so he's fair to say, "He's more like Russell in charge of the game." Although his lace news is more and more exciting than Wilt Chamberlain. ”
Blake agrees. But he felt that Snoopy was somewhat similar to Tim Duncan, who could win the game, but not the widest range of fans. He vaguely feared that David Stern would encounter some setbacks in his plan to make Snoopy the league's signature star. Because the overlap between fans and gossip fans is not as high as imagined.
He has suggested that the league should focus on promoting Derrick Rose, who is also a core player of the Bulls, or Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook of the Thunder as the new generation of cricketing stars.
But now it has become a boat, and Snoopy has become the third generation of NBA after Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
After a morning of training.
The full-court match was held in the afternoon.
The 32 players were divided into four groups.
Seventeen of the high school students were divided into two groups to compete against each other.
Fifteen other high school graduates, as well as college students, were divided into two groups.
This is for safety reasons, and the camp does not want players who are not yet fully developed to be involved in higher-level confrontations to avoid injury.
Although some talented high school students such as Anthony Davis and Michael Gilchrist complained about this decision, they also wanted to skip the challenge. Because in the other two sets of matchups, Snubidu and Stephen Curry, the two Duke's brand ambassadors, will each join a team.
In the case of picking teammates with each other.
Kyrie Irving, Harrison Barnes, Tristan Thompson, Derrick Williams, Marshon Brooks. Tobias Harris, Jimmerfredade, Kenneth Farid and other non-California players naturally came together.
And when it came time to choose a team leader, they didn't hesitate to choose Stephen Curry.
Obviously, these restless guys are all going for Snoopy.
"What a bunch of stunned young people who don't know whether to live or die." Isaiah Thomas, sitting on the sidelines, smiled and told the scouts around him: "Young people always think that they are far better than the stars who don't look good. But in fact, they are going to challenge the most terrifying NBA rookies in the past five years. ”
Boston Meritorious Scout Barnard nodded approvingly.
Blake, who was on the sidelines, said: "I really appreciate the courage of these young lads to challenge the stars. Actually, for them. It doesn't have to be a win, the young ones only need to complete a dunk or layup on Snoopy. They just need to prove their talent. ”
"Frankly, I'm bullish on Kyrie Irving and Harrison Barnes. Kyrie Irving's brilliant-garde ball-handling skills, blistering speed and incredible shooting ability could make him a tall version of Allen Iverson. Barnes, on the other hand, has visible physical gifts, being tall, strong and fast, and his template Glen Les and Tracy Maddie. ”
Blake has high hopes for these two.
"Moreover, the players on the red team are too weak. Klay Thompson is a pure shooter, Leonard is not even the top scorer at the University of San Diego, Jordan Hamilton has been unknown, and Reggie Jackson, Jimmy Butler, Chandler Parsons. None of them are potential newcomers in the standard sense of the word, and although Jimmy Butler was once one of the top high school seniors in the nation in high school, he has now faded into mediocrity. ”
"In fact, they only have one inside player, Vucevic from Switzerland."
Blake knows a lot about these players, and he thinks if the red team wants to win. Snoopy will be exhausted for the rest of the game and he will have to stay in the number five position as a blue-collar player. And this... It will stimulate those excited genius jumping men even more.
"The white team will win."
Blake finally concluded: "Whether it's Stephen Curry or Snoubidoo, I don't see a reason why they're going to give it their all in a game like this." ”
As a former NBA scouting director, he's pretty determined.
But.
Isaiah Thomas's humble voice sounded at the right time: "So, shall we bet ten thousand dollars?"
