The Rest, Only Noise

Louis originally thought that after entering the 1990s, he would no longer have to judge the potential of rookies based on his professionalism.

However, the 1990 draft presented him with a problem.

While he can pinpoint who the highest achiever in this draft is (Payton) and assert that Coleman is a self-destructive genius, those foresights won't solve the Knicks' problems.

Who the Knicks will pick with the eighth pick in the first round is a question.

This question was also not concluded until a few days before the end of the draft.

He took a fancy to Lionel Simmons. As a college player, he is already the best in the league. Although he has softened various individual honors, the NBA is a place that needs to be considered more.

No team has put a top-seven pick on him.

Louie didn't hold out hope for Simmons either, until he watched tapes of the opposing team's game.

Zhao Yuanzheng said that Simmons is the second-safest choice in this draft.

To Louie, he is the safest choice in this draft.

The size of 201 cm is just right for a small forward.

Judging from the college game, he has proficient handling skills and is fully qualified for the position of the forward, which is what Louis likes to hear.

At the same time, he has a stable jumper, although the long-range shooting ability is almost 0, but this is not an era where you can't survive if you can't hit the long-range shot.

For Louie, of course it's best if he can shoot from long range, and if he can't shoot from long range, that's fine.

Can handle the ball, can hit the mid-range, full-sized point forward, good rebounds, outstanding defensive awareness.

What restricts him from challenging higher levels is that his mind, body is not strong enough, and his explosiveness and speed are not good enough.

That's why no one picked him.

In Louie's view, explosiveness and speed are not critical. If you are not strong enough, you can practice. The mental problem may have a great impact, but if Simmons is an absolutely safe choice, he will not fall to the eighth pick.

In the eyes of others, he is not good enough.

But from Louie's point of view, what they need is a well-rounded wing who can carry the ball as a cameo point guard, and Simmons is a good fit.

When the Knicks' selection was announced, the crowd cheered loudly.

Because Simmons played for the LS Seoul and played the Big Five Invitational in New York every year, New York fans knew him very well.

"L-train [Simmons nickname] went to a team that was probably the worst for him." Doug Collins expressed pessimism about Simmons' prospects in the Knicks, "He needs a very, very big heart Takes a spot in competition with Benjamin Wilson, Reggie Williams, Doug West, Alex Stevens. But judging by his college record, he's not a strong contender Players who compete for desire."

Simmons has a dark history of coveting data and disappearing at the moment of life and death.

That's why scouts are not optimistic about him.

With Simmons selected, Louie began to figure out who would be a good fit with the Heat's first-round pick.

At first glance, the people on the big list knew only one Dee Brown.

This dude is a physical point guard who is famous for winning blindfolded dunks in dunk contests.

Except for the blindfolded dunk, Louie had no other impression of him.

Suddenly, Louie heard Doug Collins say: "In addition to American players, there are several international players from overseas worthy of attention."

"For example, Egyptian center God Abdenabi, who plays for Duke University."

"And then there's Carlherrera, a Venezuelan power forward at the University of Houston."

"Of course, those two Yugoslav players also have to be mentioned. Milos Babic and Tony Kukoc definitely have the strength to stand in the NBA. However, even if they are selected by the NBA team, they will not enter the league in the short term. , so, for the teams that want to get them, be prepared to make a long-term investment."

Tony Kukoc? Isn't that Jerry Krause's big baby?

Louis laughed pervertedly.

"Why are you happy, laughing so disgustingly." Baylor snorted.

"Of course I suddenly thought of something happy."

Louie stood up excitedly and moved all the extras from the desk.

Zhao Yuanzheng hurriedly helped to dispose of those clutter.

They know Louie's habit, the guy likes to lie on his desk whenever he gets excited.

Louie raised his bohemian feet, picked up the phone, and asked his colleagues, "Who knows the phone number of the Bulls' general manager's office?"

Hearing this, everyone had a strange look.

As long as they are in the American professional basketball circle, no one does not know that Louis and Klaus are mortal enemies.

However, the two have fought against each other many times, and the number of times that Claus has taken advantage is very small, so their fighting history is basically the history of Louis unilaterally crushing each other.

Louie actually took the initiative to ask about the number of the Bulls' general manager's office. What is this going to do?

"I know!" Baylor reported the number.

"Very well, Elgin, I knew you would make a difference sooner or later."

Baylor's face was stiff: "Is this working?"

"That's a big deal, do you think anyone of us still has that breadcrumb contact information?"

Almost instantly, Klaus picked up the phone.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Jerry, it's me..."

"dududu~~~"

"Hello?" Louis looked at the phone inexplicably, "Is this fat fat guy so unqualified?"

Louie's colleagues, the expressions are very wonderful.

Is it unusual for Klaus to hang up on Louis? No, it's quite normal.

Louie made another phone call.

"Who?"

"Me, Jerry."

"dududu~~"

Zhao Yuanzheng asked: "Coach, what do you want to say to him?"

"I have nothing to say, I just want to stimulate him." Louis said frantically.

Belle Peel didn't smile: "Obviously, you've achieved your goal."

"But in addition to stimulating him, I also want to make a deal with him."

Louie's words are simply sensational, he still wants to make a deal with Klaus? If Klaus knew that he had this idea, let alone answer the phone, I'm afraid the phone line will be unplugged, right?

Five years into New York, Louis managed to acquire the same reputation as Reed Auerbach.

That is, "if littlelu takes the initiative to call you for a deal, please refuse immediately".

Zhao Yuanzheng said euphemistically: "I feel that he will not make a deal with us."

"So sure?"

"He didn't even answer the phone."

"Would you like to make a bet?"

"Bet what?"

"If he answers my call and I make the deal, you two are going to treat me to a drink for the whole year."

Louis came up and opened his mouth wide.

"Don't say one year, ten years will do!" Baylor said heavily.

"Hmph, remember your words."

Louis decided to keep calling Claus in the spirit of Yugong moving mountains.

It doesn't matter if Krause doesn't answer the phone, if he can live with their phone being busy throughout the draft...

Finally, after being hung up 22 times in a row, Klaus picked up.

"What the **** are you trying to do?"

"Jerry, if you talked to me earlier, why would I bother? Actually, I called to say hello to you, and by the way, what do you think of Tony Kukoc? ?"

Louis could clearly hear Klaus's heavy breathing.

"not so good!!"

"Oh, then I chose."

"Wait!" Klaus yelled, "Who leaked the information to you?"

Louie's scalp was numb with excitement, "Jerry, I don't understand what you're talking about. Since you think Kukoc is not good, then I'll choose..."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Louis smiled: "I'll ask you one last time, do you want Tony Kukoc?"

At this point, Krause was in a panic. Although the Knicks had no draft picks, he knew that Louie was clear about the Bulls' draft strategy.

"What does this have to do with you?" Klaus said with a trembling corner of his mouth.

"You and I don't seem to be friends, no, we are not only friends, but enemies, do you think I should let your plan fail? If I trade now and get the mid-first-round pick Tony Kukoc How will it be?"

"What do you want?"

"Actually I really just want to talk to you about a deal, if you still want Tony Kukoc..."

Klaus said angrily: "I will not accept your threats!"

"Jerry~www.novelmt.com~ Do you have to say it so badly? In business, it's always what you want, how can it be a threat?" Louis laughed until his expression was out of control, like Like a sadist, "If you still want Tony Kukoc, make a deal with me."

"What deal? You don't want me to sell out the Bulls for this!"

"You're saying it so hard. Am I the kind of person who makes trading partners lose? I just want to trade our second-round picks."

"How dare you say that the second-round draft picks between you and me are 18 spots apart!"

"So, I'm going to give you an extra $50,000 in cash to make this deal seem reasonable."

Krause originally planned to use the second-round pick to select Kukoc. If he trades with the Knicks, the Bulls' second-round pick will be the last in the second round, which is too risky.

But if he doesn’t make a deal, Klaus is 100% confident that with Louis’ temperament, he will really get Kukoc in the middle of the first round through a trade.

The Knicks have the resources to make trades.

"How about it, Jerry, won't it be too hard for you?"

"you swear?"

"If you want me to swear about this kind of thing, it's that you don't trust me, and I'll think you're insulting me, why don't we just stop talking?"

"Okay! Deal, littlelu, you better **** what you say!"

"I hope your transaction fax will reach the alliance within 30 seconds." Louie hung up the phone and shouted at the stunned Baylor, "What are you doing, work!"

Baylor got up in a hurry, shouting as he ran, "Louis, Louis, I have lived for 56 years, and I have never seen anyone more wicked than you!"
