The rest is just noise

If the loss to the Heat is a non-combat crime and Zhao Yuanzheng can still blame it, then the same-city derby with the Clippers will be purely a coaching gap.

The head coach of the Clippers is Jeff Van Gundy, who also came from the NBA. After losing Olajuwon and Drexler, he was not discouraged.

Or, it should be said that the departure of Dream and Glider gave Van Gundy the opportunity to showcase his talents.

Mutombo can be regarded as one of the ten best defensive players in NBA history. Looking at the insiders in history, except for the developed O'Neal and Sampson, there is no one he cannot defend.

Van Gundy established Mutombo's core position, supplemented it with Barkley's offense, and increased Sprewell's offensive tactics. The Clippers were like Big Brother Hugh 1 who had never left. They have not lost a game so far this season.

.

Barkley was thrown from Portland to Los Angeles like garbage by Riley, but he did not lose his fighting spirit. For him, Los Angeles is a better place, but the Clippers owner is a jerk. This is the only thing he is dissatisfied with.

In order to prove himself, Barkley played harder.

As long as he is on the court, no one will doubt Sir Charles' ability. Most of his problems come from off the court, which is also the reason for his disagreement with Riley.

But in the Clippers, Van Gundy knew how to make Barkley work for him.

He knows very well that the Clippers, who have lost their big dream, need Barkley to go all out to maintain their previous combat effectiveness, so as long as the Flying Pigs can play on the court, it doesn't matter how lazy he is off the court or how many donuts he eats a day.

When someone asked him if he was not afraid of spoiling Barkley by letting him indulge so much, Van Gundy used Louis as an example.

"Leader lu can pamper Dennis Rodman to ensure that Shawn Kemp takes over smoothly and lays the foundation for New York's seventh consecutive championship. Why can't I?"

Van Gundy has proven that he is not a coach who relies on good cards, but facing the Lakers, the Clippers are still at a disadvantage.

However, Zhao Yuanzheng's adaptability is very poor.

When he was an assistant coach, he could give Louis a lot of useful suggestions, but when he took control, he found that it was not so easy to make on-the-spot adjustments.

Barkley broke out, double-teamed or not?

Sprewell's first step was so fast that even Wilson and Pippen couldn't react. Do they need to increase manpower?

Questions like this piled up in Zhao Yuanzheng's mind. He had a lot to do, but in the end he chose to believe in the players' personal abilities.

Then, the Lakers lost.

Wilson scored 40 empty points and the Lakers lost by 4 points.

Scottie Pippen started complaining about someone taking too many shots, "We don't need players to score 40 points a game, what we need is for everyone to score. Teams with concentrated possession of the ball cannot succeed."

.”

Wilson was very angry when he learned the news.

He directly asked Pippen in the locker room: "Do you have a problem with my shot count, Scottie?"

Pippen simply couldn't resist the kind of aura Wilson developed around Ewing.

"No."

Pippen denied he was insinuating Wilson.

This allowed Wilson to further dominate the team.

Zhao Yuanzheng has received a lot of criticism, and some critics have begun to imagine the day when Louis takes over.

Ever since Louis joined the Lakers, people believed that he would become the coach of the Lakers sooner or later.

Because he is still young and has not yet reached retirement age.

Therefore, every time there was a problem with Zhao Yuanzheng, someone would call on Louis to come out.

Louis does have plans to come back, but not now.

His theory is not yet complete, and his future plans are unclear.

He will not choose to come back until these things are resolved.

And when he solves all these problems, even if the season is not over yet, it must have been through most of it. Taking over the team midway will not have good results, so it is the consensus within the team to let Zhao Yuanzheng lead the team to finish the season.

Louis focused more on the 1995 draft.

If he wants to build the team he wants, the roster alone is far from enough.

It's no longer like 1985, when Louis was very cautious during the draft for fear of making mistakes. Now, the timeline is so close to the era he knows, and he has nothing to worry about.

If Louis were given the No. 1 pick next year, he would know who to pick with his eyes closed.

It's a pity that the Lakers basically have no chance of winning the No. 1 pick next year.

The 1995 draft was a middling year.

Currently, scouts across the United States want to confirm one thing - will Farragut High School's super-talent Kevin Garnett skip the college stage and directly participate in the draft?

In Louis' previous life, Garnett was the top five pick in this draft. Now, due to the butterfly effect, if he enters the draft early, his draft price will go straight to the top three.

Garnett is hailed as Sampson II, and some scouts exaggeratedly described him as "an all-round upgraded Danny Manning."

What is certain is that as long as he participates in the draft, Garnett will be in the top three, but he will not be able to rise to the first pick.

Because choosing high school players involves taking huge risks, and this year there is a recognized candidate for the top pick, and that is Joe Smith of the University of Maryland.

Fans of the future will be just as baffled by the hype surrounding Smith as Louis is today.

Being recognized as the No. 1 pick in the draft means that there is nothing wrong with selecting him. He will definitely become a talent and directly change the team that got him.

But in reality, the Warriors who acquired Smith only won 85 games in the next three years.

Then, with the title of parallel import, Smith maintained good immediate combat ability and completed the infamous behind-the-scenes operation with the Timberwolves. From then on, he fell into decline and became a homeless man who bounced around many teams before retiring in 2011.

A draft pick who debuted on a bad team, had no injuries, and was even able to move freely after his contract expired due to the age, but failed to produce?

Louis couldn't understand.

Perhaps, decades from now, future fans will also be confused by the fact that Andrew Wiggins did not develop into a superstar.

This is the draft. If you don’t open your eyes, you won’t be foolproof. Those who deserve it will always get it.

Louis is very interested in acquiring Garnett, even if it involves getting involved with either Pippen or Robinson.

But this is too difficult.

As long as people know that he is interested in Garnett, it is impossible for him to get Garnett.

As for the rest of this draft, Louis isn't interested.

Jerry Stackhouse, the only one who had a bit of a head start, was a scorer, and Louis completely ignored him. Although this person was the only one in the 1995 class who might threaten Smith's No. 1 pick, neither of them was a good choice.

Seeing Louis' frown, Jim asked: "Sir, are you unhappy because of our recent poor performance?"

"Have we had a bad record lately?"

"We have lost four of the last six games, and the fans are very dissatisfied."

In the last six games, the Lakers' opponents have been the Clippers, Magic, 76ers, Hornets, Jazz, and Suns. None of them are easy to beat.

But losing 4 games is really too much, especially the one against the Suns.

Yu Tiancan made a tip-in for the game-winner, and for the first time the cry of "We want leader lu" rang out in the forum.

Louis raised his feet in boredom, "Jim, if you were given the first pick next year, who would you choose?"

"Do I really have the right to decide this?"

"So what if."

"Uh... I watched the Georgetown University game some time ago." Bass shocked Louis as soon as he opened his mouth. "I might choose Allen Iverson."

"What a good choice. I'll let you choose next time."

"Really? Did I make the right choice?"

"exactly."

However, if he could choose this way, Louis might be more willing to choose Wake Forest University sophomore center Tim Duncan.

Having said that, if you really can get Duncan, let alone sending Pippen or Robinson, you can just package these two people and then transfer the draft picks.

Jim was a fool, he took Louis' words seriously.

"Since I made the right choice, what are you worried about? Let's go to dinner, sir. A new French restaurant has recently opened near the forum. Even my father praised it."

"Okay, let's see if anyone wants to go with us."

"OK."

Louis cleaned himself up, he was a little obsessed with the draft recently.

He came to the conclusion that unless he could get Garnett in next year's draft, it would not be considered a reinforcement, and it would not be helpful in building the team he had in mind.

It was this conclusion that drove him crazy.

Because it will be difficult for him to supplement the players he wants through next year's draft.

Louis walked out of the office, he didn't want to be rushed by that playboy every time.

When he passed by West's office, he saw the logo man through the outside glass window reviewing a certain game with a serious look on his face.

Louis knocked on the door.

West usually doesn't say "come in," so he just knocks on the door and says hello, and then the door can be opened by the person outside.

Louis walked into West's office and found him watching last night's game.

The Lakers vs. Suns, the game that ended with a tip-in.

"In order to protect the rebound, Zhao replaced Vlad." West was so angry that his mouth was twisted, "Vlad's athletic ability is not enough to help!"

As a result, it was precisely because Divac failed to block Yu Tiancan that the Chinese giant used his excellent elasticity to directly rise up from the basket and score the ball.

Zhao Yuanzheng's idea was correct, but his trust was inhumane.

Louis would attribute such failure to luck, but West would not.

Ten years from now, he will remember this game and even more how the Lakers lost.

"Jerry, do you have a better idea?"

If Louis remembered correctly, Green had been ejected at that time. In order to protect the rebounds, Zhao Yuanzheng did not even change guards. Except for the two inside players, the other three Lakers players on the court were forwards.

If you don't go to Divac, you have to go to Polynice. Will that change the outcome?

Louie's problem is what makes West the most uncomfortable.

He shook his head in frustration: "No, I don't have any better ideas."

During the Dream and Glider era, there were a total of 16 players on the University of Houston team including regular players and reserves who could dunk. They were called the "Slam Dunk Brotherhood" (phi slama jama).
