The Rest, Only Noise

First of all, if Louie remembers correctly, the Bulls got Pippen through a trade.

Although Jerry Krause digs Soso for player contracts, he always uses the safest way to get the players he wants, and never takes the risk of waiting for the other party to fall down and give it to himself.

So, it's no surprise that the Bulls will choose to trade to get Pippen.

Louie has no interest in Pippen, it's probably too crazy to say that, after all, the opponent is one of the ten best small forwards of all time, and one of the three best defenses in history. The best assistant of G.O.A.T, history Top 30 superstars, and then Louie said no interest in him.

It sounds incomprehensible, but, it's easy to understand.

The Knicks already have a flanking ace (Wilson), and the No. 2 position will be locked up by Ellis or Miller in the future.

Simply put, the Knicks have no place for Pippen.

If they choose Pippen forcibly, it will inevitably inflate the talent in the team, and it is likely to collapse due to the lack of sufficient playing time for many players.

The Blazers in the early 2000s were an example. They had too many established players, everyone wanted to play, Mike Dunleavy couldn't satisfy them, and the team chemistry broke down.

Therefore, the most favorable outcome for the Knicks is not that they draft Pippen, but that Pippen is not selected by the Bulls.

After all, the Knicks have the Bulls' next two first-round picks in their hands. As long as they don't let them pick Pippen, they can prevent them from rebuilding. This is a typical self-serving benefit.

So Louie contacted his media friends.

Dave Anderson of The New York Times and Selvin Haley of The New York Post, Louie wanted them to write a feature article for Pippen and make him famous.

Anderson asked Louie, "Why do you do this?"

"To make the future of the Knicks even better."

Well, if you guys don't write this, you just don't want to make the future of the Knicks better.

Louie's demands weren't too much, and the Times and Post published Pippen's character feature articles on "Possible Knicks Picks in This Year's Draft" and "Upcoming Stars Who Desperately Need More Attention."

The influence of these two media is undeniable.

Fans immediately learned about such a player.

Pippen was the youngest of 12 children born to Preston and Ethel over 24 years. There, he and his brothers would often hang out in groups for hours. His father spent most of his time working as a paper mill manager until one day seven years ago, he came home with a severe stroke. Since then, Preston has been in a wheelchair until he watched a tape of a Bulls game before he watched his youngest son, Scotty, play basketball.

For a long time, hardly anyone saw Pippen play.

Pippen played very little time as a sophomore at Hamburg High, so before his senior year he decided to skip the basketball team's offseason practice and become the equipment manager for the football team.

Pippen was frustrated because at 15, he was still shorter than his mother, even though he was 6 feet tall.

The Pippen family is an elder family, but because of his height, he never thought he would play professional basketball in the future. High school coach Donald Wayne initially didn't want to add Pippen to the roster because of overlapping football and basketball seasons. Eventually, Wayne changed his mind, only because the players on the team voted that Pippen should be returned.

During Pippen's senior year, he was the starting point guard for the Hamburgers. At 6-foot-1 and 150 pounds, however, the excitement he caused among college admissions officers was barely there. If Wayne hadn't recommended Pippen to Central Arkansas coach Don Dyer, Pippen would probably have ended up working in the factory as his father and his brothers did, as a high school nobody cared about.

Pippen had no interest in playing basketball at the time, but his college coach, Don Dyer, saw it as an opportunity for him to get an education. So Pippen arrived at the University of Arkansas as an assistant.

By the time school started, Pippen had grown to 6-foot-3, so Dale allowed him to practice with the team, and Pippen quickly proved he had a place on the Central Arkansas roster. As a sophomore, at 6-foot-5, he was the best player on the team. Dell started putting him at guard, forward, center, anywhere.

In his senior season, he averaged 23.6 points, 10 rebounds and 4.3 assists while shooting 59 percent from the field and 58 percent from 3-point range.

These stories greatly boosted Pippen's profile.

So, in early June, Pippen was invited to training camp in Portsmouth, Virginia, an official NBA training camp to give professional scouts a chance to scrutinize rookies.

The most surprising thing is that the Knicks head coach and general manager Louis and deputy general manager Elgin Baylor actually came to the training camp site.

This has caused a lot of speculation.

Louie's vision has been recognized by the professional basketball circle. So far, none of the players he has selected is a parallel importer, either a potential star or a reliable role player.

"Who did littlelu see this time?"

In several games during training camp, Pippen played in four positions: point guard, shooting guard, small forward and power forward under the arrangement of several different coaches.

He plays at every position, and if the best positions are to be at point guard and small forward.

His defense and handling are amazing, and while the ball feels a bit stiff, he has the potential to be a Paul Price-like point forward.

Pippen was named to the All-Star team at training camp, and although he wasn't the MVP of training camp, he got Louie's vote.

Louie was the only voter who thought he was the best in training camp.

The media asked him why he voted for Pippen, since there was another draft favorite, Horace Grant, in training camp.

"I see Paul Price and Moncrief in Scotty, give him some time and maybe he'll be a defensive all-rounder like Moncrief."

The media asked sensitively: "So, will the Knicks select him in the draft?"

"I can't tell you the Knicks' draft plan, but if we can get Scotty, we're going to try to get as much as we can."

Louie's wooing of Pippen caught the attention of the entire circle.

Many people have set their sights on this kid from the second-tier league.

Some thought Louis was bluffing.

For example, former Cavaliers general manager and current Nets general manager Harry Weltman: "Littlelu is just bluffing by saying that. He deliberately promotes that Arkansas kid's name, and then he can profit from the chaos."

However, there are not a few who believe in Louis.

Louis doesn't care what other people's reaction is, he only cares about Claus's reaction.

Too bad Louie didn't have the clairvoyance to see what was going on in the Chicago Bulls office.

Krause has been worried lately. Last year's Bias nearly ruined his career. Fortunately, boss Reinsdorf is generous and willing to give him a few more years to prove himself. If he doesn't get the Bulls out of the lottery in the next few years, his career is over.

Pippen had already been locked by him. In order to find out the truth of this child, he secretly went to the University of Arkansas game several times to watch the game.

He saw a lot of surprises in Pippen's game.

It's hard to see another young player as nimble and athletic as Pippen who can play at the 1 and be as powerful on the defensive end.

He was determined to get this man.

I thought things would go smoothly, but in the end, another Lu Yaojin came out on the way.

It's him again! littlelu!

"Damn, I don't believe he can trade up for Scotty!" Klaus was secretly worried.

Now that Pippen's exposure has grown so much, Krause is starting to get scared.

Is Pippen's talent invisible to the naked eye? Obviously not.

If it were invisible to the naked eye, Krause wouldn't have traded him for a higher lottery pick.

Because Pippen's talent is visible to the naked eye, once everyone's attention is on him, once he plays an exciting performance in the workout, the teams with high draft picks will not care whether he is or not. From the second league.

Both Oakley and Rodman of the Knicks were born in the second league, which did not affect their foothold in the NBA.

There are more and more examples that the lower leagues may have errors in assessing the strength of players, but their potential and talent. It's the same no matter which league you're in.

A day later, Pippen was invited to another college All-Star event in Hawaii ~www.novelmt.com~ where the competition was even more intense. This time, Pippen not only made the All-NBA team, but also won the dunk contest.

Then, the most disturbing thing happened to Klaus.

The Knicks announced that they will have a one-day solo workout with Pippen.

What specification is this?

In the Louis era, the Knicks have only ever had a rigorous solo workout for one player.

That player was Patrick Ewing, who at the time was the most watched and anticipated college student in history.

The Knicks treated him for a trial training alone, not because they didn't believe in his strength, but because of his fame and strength, people felt that other people should not participate in the trial training with him.

Now, Pippen becomes the second player to receive this honor.

The moment Klaus got the news, his heart almost stopped.

The Knicks are playing for real!

And, if Louie really wants Pippen, he can definitely trade for a high-level draft pick.

They have coveted young players and a huge number of future draft picks.

As long as the league has any bells and whistles, as long as they want any player or draft pick, no club can compete with them unless it's their enemy.

Klaus's scalp started to go numb.

"Jerry, what do we do next?"

asked Billy McKinney, the Bulls' assistant general manager.

"The transaction must start immediately!" Klaus said heavily, "We'll do it first!"
