"So, you called Coach Shaban?"

Thompson immediately reacted. After receiving the affirmative reply, he began to be curious and could not wait to guess, "What did Coach Shaban say to you that makes you so disgusted Andre? But Coach Shaban should not slander his players in front of outsiders, right?"

"Of course not." Lu Yiqi chuckled, "I just asked Coach Shaban a question, why Andre Smith was missing the Sugar Bowl."

This season, Alabama University entered the sugar bowl among the four major bowls, but Andre, as the captain of the offensive team, missed the game.

The school officially stated that it was a "personal urgent matter" and could not appear in the game. Later Andre also issued a personal statement, "I regretted missing the game because of an emergency accident in my family." However, the specific urgent matter was refused to respond on the grounds of personal matters and no further explanation was made.

This happened in early January. Lu Yiqi didn't think much about it, but before the Indianapolis training camp, Shulmoore reminded Lu Yiqi to call Shaban, which sounded the alarm for Lu Yiqi. His first reaction was that he thought of this sudden "urgent matter". The matter should not be as simple as it seems.

Of course, Lu Yiqi knew Shaban's position. As the team's head coach, he could not really expose his player's background. Even if the targets were Shulmur and Lu Yiqi, he did not go straight to the dragon and asked about Andre's training situation.

For example, the reason why Andre served as the team's offensive team leader; for example, the rules of Andre's daily training; and for example, the reason why Andre was absent from the sugar bowl.

Moreover, Lu Yiqi was prepared, "Coach Shaban, what I know is that Andre was suspended, not absent from himself, but later, the school changed the announcement and explained that Andre could not play in the game. The changes in this made it difficult not to think about it."

"Oh? How did Coach Shaban answer?" Thompson was indeed interested.

Lu Yiqi did not say Shaban's answer, but changed the topic, "After hanging up the phone, I asked someone to go to the local area to get the traffic ticket record? Although the ticket has been cancelled? The police station still has a record of the case - because they also need to make a reimbursement within the internal account, and the case can only be officially eliminated after the reimbursement is completed."

This is a tip Lu Yiqi learned from social journalists when he was a field reporter in his previous life? Unexpectedly, it came in handy here.

Shaban did not answer Lu Yiqi's question? He just smiled and said, "You cunning guy, you know everything?"

Lu Yiqi is the same as Shulmoore? They all know Shaban's habits and have zero tolerance for players' violations of laws and disciplines. If the situation is serious, Shaban will never be lenient. Even the main quarterback is directly suspended. Obviously? Andre also violated Shaban's taboo.

Although Shaban did not answer Lu Yiqi's question positively, as a disciple, after Lu Yiqi received Shaban's response, it was not difficult to think about the truth. The next thing was that the Eight Immortals showed their magical powers across the sea? After following the clues, Lu Yiqi successfully found the answer he needed.

"Andre's drunk driving? And after the accident, his brother was responsible for the crime." Lu Yiqi revealed the answer simply and then raised his eyes to look at Thompson, "Mr. Thompson? Drunk driving? It means he is not self-binding; the punishment? And the subsequent series of lying incidents mean that he has no bottom line. This is a quality problem."

Lu Yiqi's words are concise but extremely sharp.

He knew what such an evaluation meant for a rookie, which was almost equivalent to sentenced him to death, but he still gave such an evaluation.

In fact, Lu Yiqi's evaluation is still relatively objective, because Andrei's career was like this in his last life. He always lacked self-discipline, had no systemic training, and was not restricted in life. Although he had been in the league for eleven seasons, there were only two full seasons.

Thompson did not speak, but thought carefully.

Lu Yiqi did not put pressure on him aggressively, but patiently gave Thompson enough time and space to think. He believed that Thompson was not a complete idiot.

Choosing an offensive forward player at the high position of the second pick is a huge adventure, and if the player you choose has obvious shortcomings and flaws, then you can know from the perspective of salary cap and player value that it is not cost-effective.

Unless this offensive front is a rare genius in ten years, it is enough to ignore his qualities and morality.

However, Andre’s physical test of the training camp denied this statement. As for the value represented by a college career, how much role it can play in the league, it is an unknown number of opinions.

Thompson struggled slightly, obviously still a little nostalgic. He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yiqi, "Don't you like him?"

Lu Yiqi chuckled, "Yes, I don't like it." Some coaches only value the ability of the field and do not care about personal situations outside the court, while others do not. However, Lu Yiqi's cleverness is that he added, "What do you think? This is also your team."

Thompson needs to confirm that he is the helm of the team, and Lu Yiqi made Thompson feel this way. At this time, Thompson lowered his head and thought about it seriously, but in the end he still let out a long sigh and smiled at Lu Yiqi, "I still have to respect your opinion, after all, you are our championship coach." The words were very beautiful, but the decision was always in his hands. Then he said with a little hesitation, "Then, should we choose Jason Smith or Eugene Monroe?"

Although he was asking Lu Yiqi for his opinion, Thompson's expression actually revealed his inner thoughts - why among the three popular candidates, Thompson ignored the training camp storm and chose Andre first because he had different ideas about the other two candidates.

"What do you think?" So Lu Yiqi threw the topic back.

Thompson thought seriously, "For Eugene, his strength is a shortcoming, his speed and skills are excellent enough, and his coverage is wider, but his head-on confrontation ability is not excellent. If we face the Pittsburgh Steeler again, his role will be very limited."
