The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 220: Talent? fool?

Louie bought Coke in the service area.

A sip of ice coke effectively relieved his anxiety and anger.

He no longer thinks about Zhou Qi, and no longer goes to the horns. Zhou Qi's fall may have something to do with him, but he is not directly responsible.

He just didn't expect that Ewing, a name familiar to new and old fans alike, had such high expectations before entering the NBA.

If Olajuwon, Ewing and Jordan participate in the draft together, Ewing will become the undisputed No. 1 pick.

If no one opens their eyes and concentrates the 1978-1985 draft players in one draft, Sampson will be the No. 1 pick, Ewing will be the No. 2 pick, Olajuwon will be second, and Magic and Bird will be next.

Louie let Sampson come to the Celtics early in the draft, saving the latter's career in a sense.

And Ewing, he has played three years at Georgetown University.

But almost nothing of his problems has been improved. John Thompson has given him the anger that is unique to black players. He always plays with an attitude against the world, but there are many important things on the court besides attitude.

"LittleLu, isn't the game good-looking?"

Louie turned around and greeted him by Stu Inman, the general manager of the Blazers.

"Fortunately, I'm just a little thirsty." Louis explained casually.

It's understandable that Louie isn't so interested in the game, because the two hottest players tonight are both monarchs who are destined to be insulated from the Celtics.

The Celtics already have three Monarch stars, and they have to give other teams some way to survive.

Louie asked: "Mr. Inman, do you think the game is not good?"

Inman, who also bought a drink from the vending machine, laughed: "I'm a little disappointed with Akim."

"Oh?"

"You know, he's an anomaly, and there's never been a center with his talent, the agility of a forward, the shooting of a guard, a dreamy post-up action, an incredible nose for blocking shots..." Inman tried to give He looked for a template, "like Bill Russell and Elgin Baylor combined."

Even if Olajuwon is strong like this, if he participates in the draft with Ewing, he can only be the second place.

Like Mourning in 1992, he was great, but his rivals were Sharks.

The problem is, the gap between Olajuwon and Ewing is not as wide as Mourning and Sharks.

What Louis can be sure of is that the nationality issue exists. Ewing is from Jamaica, but he has been naturalized in the United States. Moreover, professionals in the professional basketball circle believe that Ewing will rule for the next decade.

"Is there anything wrong with him?" Louis asked.

"His character is unstable," Inman complained. "It's like a pack of dynamite on the court. If a teammate doesn't see his request for the ball, he will be very angry and blame his teammate. This is the final, his The mentality affects the team.”

Olajuwon has none of the problems with Ewing.

The only problem with Olajuwon is his temper.

Is a guy who gets mad at not getting the ball really worse than a guy who doesn't get mad when he doesn't get the ball?

"How is Patrick?" Louis asked.

Speaking of Ewing, Inman smiled happily: "No matter when, he is the best on the court, I like his presence, his talent, his desire, being able to do anything on the court, like 20 years. Bill was the same as Wilt before."

"But he still won't get stuck."

"Defensive awareness is also poor."

"Georgetown didn't have an offensive game for him."

Inman is not worried about this at all: "These are just small problems. His inner strength is extremely strong. When he arrives in the league, he will get better."

Hearing this, Louis smiled.

Perhaps, if Ewing was not in New York, but on a team that knew how to cultivate inside, he would undoubtedly be stronger than the fans saw.

But a champion insider who has played in college for three or four years has to learn card positions and defense when he goes to the NBA. Isn't this a problem?

Inner strength does matter.

If Wiggins and Downs had strong hearts, Jimmy Butler wouldn't have smashed them with a substitute and told reporters that immortal bible.

Louie didn't deny his words, took a sip of Coke and wanted to go back to the game.

Inman asked, "Coach Lu, if you had the No. 1 pick, who would you choose?"

"Assuming several talents in this class choose to run this year, I'll choose Michael Jordan at the University of North Carolina."

Louie is no good, and he has no intention of helping the Blazers correct course, but he owes a favor to their owner, Larry Weinberg.

Also, he doesn't really want to see a team with Jordan, McHale and possibly Pippen in the East.

As long as he's in the East, Jordan had better go to the West. It's not that he's afraid of Jordan, but an opponent of Jordan's level. He has to stay until the finals to be exciting. It would be boring to kill him in the East.

Mainly, Louie wanted to achieve something - beat Jordan in the Finals.

Let Jordan go to the Blazers, it will completely mess up the NBA in the 1990s, the pattern will be completely changed, and the future NBA will no longer be the NBA he knows.

"Michael Jordan?" Inman was a little disappointed with Louie's answer. "Will you choose Michael among Archim, Patrick, Wayman (Tisdale), Sam Bowie?"

"Cough cough..." Louie asked with laughter, "Did a strange name go in?"

"You mean Wayman? No, he's not overrated at all, he's a no-brainer, the kind of guy who's bound to succeed in the NBA in the future."

Inman, in Louis' eyes, is a complicated person.

You say he's blind, he can rely on the players he scouts out to help the Blazers create the 1977 Blazers. He could use a late first-round pick, "power forward" Drexler, who is physically fit but too short. He can take a player he doesn't need in exchange for a late first-round pick in Terry Porter PG.

But you have to call him "wise". From scout to assistant general manager to general manager, he made three unforgivable mistakes that completely rewrote the history of the Blazers.

In 1972, he suggested that the team select LaRue Martin, the most famous parallel champion before the merger era;

As assistant general manager, after several workouts, it was determined that Moses Malone was an overrated player, "far inferior" to Maurice Lucas, "not enough" to be Walton's partner, so he gave him Rocket.

Then, in the 1984 draft, what did he do with the second pick in the first round, needless to say more?

"No, I'm not talking about Wayman, it's Sam Bowie."

"Compared to several other people, he is not of the same level of talent." Louis laughed.

Inman was even more disappointed: "Lu, you have coached Larry, you should understand that some players can't be measured by simple talent, and Sam is a player who is seen in a small way."

"A player who has been lying down for two years in the formative period, a player who has played in the NCAA for four years and has not performed well on the field, a person who has a serious injury risk..." Louis didn't know what to say, "Mr. Inman, are you sure you really need him?"

"He has at least a 20 percent chance of being the next Bill Walton." The Blazers got Walton Ptsd from top to bottom.

Jack Ramsey longs for the next Walton to make him the perfect team, so when Blazers scouts are looking for people, they like to look for white, big, cooperating, team, selfless , Well, there are still some problems with the feet.

Louie laughed jokingly: "Maybe he has a 20 percent chance of being the next Walton, but he has an 80 percent chance of getting Walton's injury before he becomes Walton."

"So, he's only our third option, and we'll only consider him if we don't have Patrick and Akim."

Inman's perseverance represents the cognition of the entire coaching team.

They're going to be big, they're going to be the next Walton, and they don't care about success rates.

If Louie wants to reverse history, if he has to repay Weinberg's favor, advice alone is not enough. He has to push the Blazers to change their minds from a higher level.

"Then I can only wish you the best of luck."

Louie finished his Coke, threw it in the trash, and turned back to the game.

After the University of Houston cracked Georgetown's zone defense with a precise shot, and came back from the timeout, their opponents became what they were.

The Georgetown Exclamations started a one-on-one pressure by David WingateSG on the Houston Cougars' Michael Young, who missed three straight shots.

The Exclave's defense, suffocating, **** and violent, scored 18 of the next 22 points, and the point difference was brought back in one wave to establish the lead.

Louie returned with a minute left in the first half.

Michael Young tries to dunk on Ewing's head.

At this time, Ewing~www.novelmt.com~ is really like a gorilla playing basketball. His energy is infinite, and his flexibility is so good that he can go to the perimeter to delay the defender's offense like Kevin Garnett, and then rush back quickly. Under the rim to protect the rim/protect the backboard.

Young's dunk attempt was denied with a **** block.

Olajuwon watched his teammates foolishly challenge Ewing without seeing that he had fallen into the open seat.

When Ewing jumped up to cover the ball out of bounds, Olajuwon threw his hands at his teammates, blushing and berating.

As Inman said, his temper is very bad. Although his personal ability is incomprehensible, as long as he is not happy, he will pour his negative energy into his teammates.

Then, he himself was affected by the negative energy.

With Georgetown leading 40-30 at halftime, Olajuwon got his third foul in the final 49 seconds of the first half.

That was an unnecessary foul.
