The Rest, Only Noise

"I don't like Chris Webber."

Phil Jackson is probably the only team out there who doesn't like Webber?

Louis did not answer.

"I don't think he's a basketball player," Jackson said surprisingly. "He's at best an athlete with great athleticism, a perfect body, and great talent, but he's not a basketball player."

Louie teased: "So you are planning to pick Sean Bradley with the first pick? If so, then I have to thank you for Chicago."

The Magic had the No. 1 overall pick this year, and after losing Drexler, the Bulls started rebuilding and took the No. 2 pick in the first round after a dismal season.

Louie's joke made Jackson frown: "Coach Lu, you know we can't afford this price."

Yeah, no matter how bad Webber is, a rebuilding team like the Magic doesn't have the right to say no to him.

Like the Knicks in 1985, Louie knew that Ewing was a bad player, but he had to choose.

But in Louie's previous life, Magic really said no to Webber.

Since China's reports on the NBA increased significantly after Wang Yao went to the United States one after another, domestic fans don't have the feeling of "fuck it up" about the Magic and Warriors swapping draft picks.

It was actually a big deal in professional basketball in 1993.

It's as terrifying as the Kings did in 2018 with the No. 2 overall pick, not selecting Doncic, the accepted No. 2 overall pick, and betting heavily on Marvin Bagley's "historic streak."

"Phil, I'm willing to help you, but I need a little time."

Louie will have to rearrange Webb's profile to see what the **** this guy is.

"Coach Lu, I can't thank you enough for that."

Louie hangs up and picks up Webb's share from the mound of scouting reports.

In this draft, Zhao Yuanzheng only made scouting reports for two people, namely Webber and Hardaway.

Even though the Knicks couldn't draft either, he did.

Zhao Yuanzheng felt that if Webber hadn't been the No. 1 overall pick in 1993, the Magic's general manager might have been sent to a lunatic asylum for observation.

(At the same time, he also thinks Hardaway is a combination of Jordan and Magic)

He thinks physical talent alone is enough to make Webber the No. 1 pick.

Among the players in the same class, those who are faster than Webber are not as strong as Webber, and those who are stronger than Webber are not as fast as Webber. With the top athletic ability and the ability to control the pass that does not match his size, Weber has the potential to become the kind of Sampson. An epoch-making player.

Louie has always known that Webb is very dangling.

It was not until he crossed that he knew that Weber was "so hanging".

Other players who have given him that feeling are Ewing and Sampson.

But the reason why they are "so hanging" is not their own strength, but the hype surrounding them by the media.

If you count from the 1980s, the only players who have had similar hype are Sampson, Ewing, David Robinson, Danny Manning, Billy Owens, Sharks, Webber, Duncan, James, Oden, Durant, Wiggins, Zion.

Almost every decade, there are 3-4 such players.

The media identified them as future superstars.

Then began to imagine their performance in the professional arena.

But in the end, only James, Duncan, Sharks, Durant (all beyond the hype) lived up to the hype.

Louie doesn't believe in hype, seeing is believing after all.

To give Jackson the right advice, he watched several Michigan State game tapes.

Louie flipped through the notes he left when he watched Webb play for the first time:

"Perfect height and wingspan for a four;

Strong body and soft hand;

First-hand defender-style coping ability;

Superior athletic ability;

impeccable skill;

This is a player who has only played two years in college but has all the goodies in his freshman year. "

This is a very superficial note, and if it was a young Louie, he would have recorded more details.

For example, Webber's style of play is slightly exaggerated in the professional arena.

The more he looked at Webb, the more Louie felt that comparing him to Jokic was wrong.

Webber's co-op, or playmaking ability, is not the same as Jokic's playmaking center-like instigation.

Most of his passes are cool.

On some balls, he passes with a normal pass and a fancy back pass, and the effect is the same.

But he tends to choose the latter for visual effects.

This is the ill of the AAU generation, who played at a young age around the country with pack-good teams.

Screaming and cheering are what they want, so they love the rambunctious technique.

Like a lot of older coaches have said, the AAU simply doesn't teach kids the right way to play.

If Webber comes to the Knicks, he will be scolded for his stinky love, and Louie will spray him at least 3 times per game.

However, apart from this, Webber's criticism is basically from his spiritual level and off the court.

He was unreliable at crucial moments.

In this year's NCAA Finals, Webber dribbled the ball in a panic at the last moment and almost made a mistake, so he irrationally asked the referee for a timeout, but was told that their timeout had been exhausted, so he was sentenced to a technical foul and sent the opponent two free throws and one throw. , surrendered the national championship.

That timeout was the epitome of Webb's normal game.

Webber struggled throughout the game.

Off the court, Webb is a notoriously cool guy, and there's nothing he can't do.

In fact, from this point of view, he and the shark are quite good.

Both are the kind of optimists who are lenient with themselves and don't impose their will on others.

There will be no problem with character.

If you play it, it's no problem.

Webber is the 4, Shark is the 5, and both are gifted.

With the Magic, Webber just needs to develop a mid-to-long-range shot, lose weight, bring his Michigan defense to the NBA, and help the Sharks clear out the paint, as the Knicks' Kemp did for Ewing. Miscellaneous fish, then Magic, this pair of insiders, may be the most terrifying duo ever?

The more Louie looked, the more he felt that Webb and O'Neal were a good match.

In Louie's previous life, the best power forwards O'Neal had paired with in their prime were Horace Grant Sr. and 40-year-old Malone.

If they were paired with a power forward like Webber, what would they do in the paint?

The next day, Louie replied to Jackson that he thought the idea of ​​O'Neal partnering with Webb was feasible.

With Webber assisting the Sharks, the Magic will not have any problems inside. As long as they find another flank who is responsible for holding the ball at critical moments, Orlando can take off like Miami.

"And who is this wing?" Jackson asked.

Louie teased him: "Anfernee Hardaway."

"Hey, Shaq really likes Anfernee."

This is normal. O'Neal himself is an insider. He definitely doesn't want the team to choose another top insider, which will make people think that the team is uneasy about him.

But this little bump will disappear as long as O'Neal and Webber play together for a game, or even finish an intra-team match.

Great centers yearn for a great power forward to share the pressure, but that's often hard to come by.

Because the team's resources are limited, since there is a great center, then it is natural to rely on him to make a bottom line for the penalty area, and the rest must go all out to chase the great outside.

What O'Neal is about to get is the coveted partner of countless legendary centers.

On this day, Louis put down his work and invited Tomjanovich's family to be a guest at home.

Lorraine was overjoyed to hear that Tomjanovich was bringing his wife.

She and Rudy's wife, Sophie, are good friends, and they have endless things to talk about as long as they meet.

However, they were obviously talking too much today.

After seeing Lu Wuxia's size, Sophie said in surprise, "Oh my God, Monica, Mike has grown so big."

Lorraine smiled: "Yeah, I almost forgot the pain of pregnancy."

The two then began discussing the inconveniences and pains of pregnancy.

Lorraine's speech is a classic, not only vividly showing his experience, but also with splash damage: "Hey, I felt that my body was not my own at that time, I had to sway when I walked, and I looked fat. Stupid, especially in the elevator, I feel like an elephant, one person takes up four or five people's seats. I want to lie on a chair, but I don't even know where to put my legs when I'm pregnant, let alone That kind of heart-wrenching hunger, I want to eat anytime and anywhere, I will lose my temper and sweat when I want to eat... However, after this experience, I understand Louis better, his life It's always been that way."

"Sword Comes"

"Pfft~~~!!"

Louie sprayed.

He didn't know whether Lorraine wanted to euphemistically say that he was fat, or to express that he was having a hard time.

Rudy grinned from ear to ear.

"Let's change positions." Louis had to shoot R to use his big move [Hero Exit].

Louie's embarrassed appearance makes Tomjanovich even more amused~www.novelmt.com~ Is Monica always like this, inadvertently revealing your embarrassment. ' asked Tomjanovich.

"It's been that way since she took on the role of Daphne Moon."

Louis said reluctantly.

"Women, it's all like this. They always like to talk about this and that, and embarrass you inadvertently." Tomjanovich smiled, "But you don't seem to be motivated these days."

Finally someone saw it, and Louis was only grateful.

"What's going on in the team these days?" Louis asked.

Tomjanovich said: "Does it count for Benj taking the initiative to attend Patrick's party?"

"I guess the party was at the Jamaican deli owned by Patrick's house."

"you guessed right."

"Alas, poor Benj, Patrick will use the spiciest ingredients to make him feel the greatest malice in the world."

Tomjanovich and Louie chatted, which was the most comfortable way to get along.

But what Tomjanovich didn't expect was that Louie would suddenly turn the conversation to a direction he didn't even dare to think about: "Rudy, do you want to be the head coach?"
