The rest is just noise

Text Volume Chapter 1,288 Why doesn’t this person play according to the routine? As the New Year approaches, the popularity of professional basketball is driven by a group of retired celebrities.

After all, it’s time to select the top 50 players, so those old guys who have made steady progress are naturally not in a hurry, but there are still some once-famous but now no one cares about the waves of the era who want to let fans know how good they once were.

In order to squeeze into the big list, celebrities use all means.

At this time, the league is also nervously discussing the list.

First of all, the league put aside the current players and selected the top 50 superstars from retired players.

Then, starting with Patrick Ewing, they discussed who the current superstar center could squeeze out.

With little hesitation, the league chose to exclude Bill Walton.

Then there's Ralph Sampson, who can he push out?

The one who was unfortunately shot this time was Nate Thurmond.

Thurmond and Walton are both great centers, but if the comparison objects are Ewing and Sampson, there is no suspense.

The competition for the roster is so fierce that many of the current players are the kind of players who can tell at a glance that they will be in the top 50.

The more current players gain, the more retired players will retire.

The league does not want to favor the past over the past, nor does it want to favor the past over the present. Therefore, there will be some players who should be in the top 50, but due to various trade-offs, they will not be ranked.

This is not surprising, it happens every time a similar selection is made.

Now comes the problem.

Retired players care about whether they can enter the top 50, but current players don't care about it.

The answer is of course yes.

In addition to big names like Sampson, Wilson, and Ewing, who the league wants to recruit, there are also many small-name stars with good honors but little attention who also want to be selected.

They are also mobilizing their own connections to get information.

What surprised Louis the most was that Rodman actually cared about whether he could be selected into the top 50.

Louis thought this guy had already decided to play in the world. It seemed that there were still things on the court that Rodman valued.

Louis said.

According to Rodman, he hasn't had a good day since he was sent to Vancouver by Riley.

Although his old teammate Danny Ainge indulged him extremely, giving him a full salary as long as he played 58 games each season.

But Rodman himself is a topical figure, and topics are his capricious capital.

If he comes to play for a Canadian team, what use is his popularity?

The American media doesn't pay that much attention. Canadians prefer ice hockey. Rodman's various behaviors are considered ridiculous and unprofessional to them.

After two months, Rodman felt that he was more of an asshole than ever before, but except for the increase in technical fouls, everything else about him had decreased, especially the media attention.

There is no attention, his performance art is like playing. Every time he looks at the reaction of the outside world, people are always calm.

Therefore, Rodman returned to the United States to play for the local team.

If I could play for a traffic team in a big city like the Lakers, it would be a dream come true.

However, Louis did not believe his guarantee.

Although the Lakers now desperately need players like Rodman - if their imaginary enemies are the Trail Blazers, Knicks, Heat, and Celtics.

Rodman was still easy to fool, so Louis took it as bait and diverted his attention.

After Louis hung up the phone, he called Rodman and called the deputy director of the league office.

President Garcia Lynn.

Louis wanted to know where the process of sorting out the top 50 list was at.

If Louis' understanding was correct, several important people had called to inquire about this matter before him.

Louis didn't want to waste time wondering which Reed Lynn was talking about.

He asked succinctly:

Auerbach's involvement in this matter is both unexpected and reasonable.

Due to his age, the veteran has basically bid farewell to the future 75 superstar selections. Therefore, the 50 superstars are the only superstar elections within his destiny that can affect his progress.

Louis asked.

Lynn laughed and said:

Hearing this, Louis didn't hold back and laughed directly.

Auerbach's suggestion can only be said to be obvious.

He seems to be supporting the stars of the 1950s and 1960s, but in fact he is still praising his own people.

If the professional players of the 1950s and 1960s are the greatest generation in history, then how should the honor of the 50-60 Celtics, who suppressed the great generation, be calculated?

This is a team that has made all members of the Greatest Generation losers. Shouldn't all their stars be selected into the top 50? After all the candidates they can be selected, it will be the turn of other contemporaries. Is this fair?

Compared with Auerbach, Louis feels as pure as Liu Tianxian in his prime.

Suddenly, Louis took the subject away again.

On the other end of the phone, Linn frowned:

Louis said without a doubt:

Lynn believes that giants like Louis and Auerbach should be given one.

Auerbach didn't give the ticket to anyone, but Louis gave the ticket to Rodman.

Lynn still did something wrong.

If he easily agrees to Louis' request, it will make the other party feel the same.

So Louis decided to pursue the victory and launched another disciple of his:

As soon as these words came out, Louis felt that he had instantly changed from the Liu Tianxian from the "Golden Family", "Dragon" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" period to the Liu Tianxian from the "Third Kind of Love" period who had already accepted kissing scenes and could still do it.

He is an experienced player who sticks out his tongue when banging.

Hey, Louis, why do you want to ruin your character like this?

If this continues, even Garcia Lynn will no longer be able to be a loyal person.

Coach Lu shook his head helplessly.

On the other end of the phone, Lin En was really shocked:

Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?
