MTL - The Rest, Only Noise-v2 Chapter 1497 2 choices
UPDATE: There was five seconds of silence in the TNT studio when the Celtics selected Tony Parker with the 19th pick in the first round.
Kenny Smith's sausage mouth gaped at the choice.
Rick Pitino laughed: "I don't know if you still remember, two years ago in Los Angeles, LegendLu chose two Argentine players. They haven't played an NBA game yet, I think, Germany Jan Bodiloga's success has affected LegendLu's judgment on European players."
Barkley said a classic sentence: "I don't know Tony Parker, and I don't know where he came from, but if Coach Road is willing to use the first round pick to pick him, then he must be a good player."
Louis chose Parker not because of his white skin. Because Parker is still black at heart.
He is mulatto, but according to the principle of one drop of black blood, he is black. There's no place for Parker on the future championship-winning no-black team.
It's just that that moment is still far away, Louis must first build a good enough team. At that time, if a player like Parker is to be traded, he must be a hot commodity. Now, the Celtics are short of point guards, and it's just right for Parker to come.
Thomas began to complain: "After the start of the new season, there will be Americans, Chinese, Spaniards, and French in our team. Which language will we use to communicate?"
Louis quoted Bodi Loga's famous saying: "Don't worry, Isiah, basketball is the universal language of the world." After that, the New York Knicks suddenly initiated a deal to send Christian Laettner to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for the already reduced The contract, and the veteran Ron Harper who decided to retire but has not yet announced, and this year's first-round picks 21 and 23.
Like all teams that have had Laettner, the NCAA champion looks good, but he can't count on making it to the playoffs.
In this year's playoffs, Duncan completely blasted Turner, which made the Knicks realize once again that it is imperative to supplement a strong forward.
With the two draft picks that the Pistons got, the Knicks got into action.
They first selected Zach Randolph with the 21st overall pick in the first round, and then selected Samuel Dalembert of Haiti Gaota with the 23rd overall pick in the first round.
If you start from the actual needs of the team, choosing these two people is like an eye-opener.
At this time, in the draft war room in New York, from Buford to chief assistant Tom Thibodeau, everyone looked bleak.
James Dolan, who has not interfered in the team's internal affairs for a long time, came to two big ones as soon as he made a move. He not only asked them to send Laettner to Detroit for the draft pick, but also decided on the picks for the two draft picks.
I really feel that my time is unlucky. Not long ago, I fell in love with a Frenchman with great potential, but was preempted by my dear coach Lu.
While he was in a daze, little Dolan came to a big one.
"Oh, it's a rough day!" Baylor said sadly, "if these two are not a good prospect. You and I are waiting to be poked in the spine by the media and fans! "
However, Tomjanovich was puzzled by one thing.
"Why is Mr. Dolan, who was not interested in the draft in previous years, suddenly interested in this matter?" Tomjanovich had a bold idea, "Is there someone behind him giving advice?"
"Rudy, you, that's not good, you're too optimistic!" Baylor became annoyed when he thought of that damned dude, "As for that **** who hates dogs, who will point him out behind his back? It wasn't him, Louis wouldn't have left back then! Looking at it now, Louis is really wise, he has already seen what that **** is!"
At this moment, the "high man" behind James Dolan is drinking the last Coke of the day in the Celtics' draft war room.
"The Knicks have a good pick." Dumars likes Randolph very much. "Zach is a very promising power forward."
Others did not answer. After Tony Parker's selection, everyone became more curious about the candidate for the 24th pick in Louie's mind.
Shouldn't we choose another foreigner?
"Have any
Is it recommended? ’ Louis asked formally.
Isiah Thomas never forgets his original intention, "Jamal Tinsley?"
"Can Tinsley play number two?"
"It seems impossible."
"Then don't choose." Louis looked at the others, "What's your opinion?"
"There seems to be a guy named Brandon Heywood sitting in the little green room," Dumas said.
"What is his position?
"Power Forward."
"We shouldn't be using first-round picks on big guys anymore."
Louie's eyes finally fell on the Director of Ball Gym.
Andy Greer said: "Your Excellency, before I recommend players, I have to ask you a question-do you want mature immediate combat power, or do you need carefully crafted return?"
fetal. "
"We are a rebuilding team, that is, combat power is meaningless to us. I want embryos with high talents.
After receiving Louie's reply, Greer reassuredly recommended: "I recommend Gerald Wallace from Alabama State University. This person's physical talent is very outstanding, but all aspects of skills are very primitive and need long-term training , fortunately, he has enough aggressiveness and desire to perform.”
Lu Yi smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I will do as you wish."
In his previous life, Wallace made his debut in the talented Kings team. That was the peak period in the history of the Kings team. He still played the Princeton system that required a high-level golf quotient to get started. It is normal for him to be unable to display his talents. Coming to the Celtics is different. There are a lot of playing time here, and the system under Thomas' leadership is not complicated, which is suitable for his open and close style of play.
What Louis valued about Wallace was mainly his style and style of play.
He plays desperately and has a desperate desire to perform. At the same time, although he looks like a small forward in size, his performance is completely inside. Yao Yueban and Gasol are enough to support the Celtics inside, but both of them have certain problems in the NBA.
Yao Yueban is weak in rebounding, but protecting rebounds is his strength. He is good at using his huge body to help his teammates get rebounds. Therefore, the Celtics must equip him with the kind of players who will take the initiative to rush for rebounds.
Gasol's rebound protection is not a big problem, but I don't know why, playing in the NBA is not as aggressive as on the FIBA stage, where Duncan, Dayao and other super insiders are regarded as chickens and dogs, and they always lack hardness.
Wallace's toughness and his neutralization are almost enough.
To sum up, Gerald Wallace is indeed a key figure in the early days of the Celtics team in the Louis era.
A little later, the Philadelphia 76ers rescued Brand Haywood from green house **** with the 25th pick in the first round.
Since the launch of the small green house in the NBA, one or two unlucky ones have been left behind every year.
Those who can be invited to the small green room are usually players with lottery hopes. If such people do not have any major problems, they will usually be picked away in the first round. If after this stage, there are still people in the little green room, the huge gap between reality and personal wishes is enough to make people's hearts collapse.
Seeing that Hayward was not selected until this time, Barkley smiled and teased the big mouth around him, "It seems that Vince Carter will be the last NBA star in North Carolina!"
Big Mouth Kenny Smith sarcastically said: "How good are you Auburn?"
This made the fat man stop talking about martial arts immediately, "Kenny, if you talk too much, I will take out my championship ring and blind your eyes!"
This scene seemed quite abstract to Louis in front of the TV.
Who would have thought that after Barkley retired, he would become a strong promoter of ring culture. If you have a ring, what you say is worth listening to.
You don't have a ring, what you say is fart, if you are really right, why can't you win with a ring?
This is the ring culture. It has no reason or logic, but it is very suitable for the public who are too lazy to think.
Isiah Thomas' heart of linebacker, Jamal Tinsley in first round
The 27th overall pick was taken by the Knicks.
Then, it was the Heat's turn.
As a team with the closest relationship with Louis, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Lewis Shafier got advice from Louis early on, and he knew who to choose.
Minutes later, the Heat selected Gilbert Arenas with the 28th pick in the first round.
If all goes well, Arenas may succeed Petrovic and go down with Duncan. If all goes wrong, Arenas might shoot old Deng in the head because he didn't understand Duncan's bad joke.
The second hypothesis is why Louis chose the former over Parker and Arenas.
Think about it, Parker is better, the peak period is long enough, and it is very durable. The most important thing is that he doesn't like to play with guns. At most, he uses the gun in his crotch to play with his teammates' wives. Si is much smaller, and the scope of influence is also controllable.
Minutes later, the final first-round pick of the year was selected by the Lakers.
This was the first year that Jim Buss and Zhao Yuanzheng were in charge of the draft, and they selected Bobby Simmons with the 29th pick in the first round.
