The rest is just noise

"Ron Artest? This doesn't seem like a player Legend Lu would choose."

Ernie Johnson looked at the magician, "Maggie, what do you think?"

The magician's face showed a trademark smile: "Ernie, you know, Coach Lu never takes the usual path. Ron Artest does have a bad reputation, but this is not the first time Coach Lu has chosen

A player with a bad reputation."

Magic gave the example of Bill Laimbeer in 1979.

In recent years, after a series of revelations, everyone now knows that the Celtics scout who originally advocated selecting Laimbeer was Louis.

And Laimbeer was not a good choice at the beginning. He has the same bad reputation as Artest.

But this wave of Magic is a hard wash. After all, the Celtics selected Laimbeer with a very late pick. It doesn't matter even if they choose the wrong person, and Artest is the 15th pick and has complete weight.

no the same.

However, the same decision is made by different people and gets different responses.

It's like Ji Yin Ge and Baodao Huang Chocolate. The former became a laughing stock just for showing off a crappy crotch dribbling on the show, while the latter's reputation has never been due to his eye-catching game that is even better than the former.

Fragments are affected.

Selecting Artest is risky. Like Odom, he is considered unmotivated and has poor brains, often falling off the line in games.

Moreover, Louis didn't know if the director had any serious illness. It didn't matter if he was ugly, but the camera also liked to slap him in the face. Moreover, George's face-flaming scenes were obviously more than others, and the No. 1 pick didn't have this card.

Louis listened to him list a lot of hidden dangers and shortcomings of Ginobili. If he didn't open his eyes, he would really be fooled by him.

The country bumpkin was so angry that his mouth was twisted, but he really had nothing to say. When it came to waste, Louis was also wasting old Buss' money. His son didn't even come out to object, so it was his turn to speak.

Larry Bird saw something was wrong with Artest.

Zhao Yuanzheng named a surprising name: "I think Pablo Prigioni PG is good. He is from Argentina. His passing skills are definitely at the NBA level and he is good at holding on.

The ball initiates a pick-and-roll attack, his style of play is selfless, and he has outstanding leadership qualities."

"What kind of adventure?"

Louis, who has always been praised for his draft success rate, made three choices this year that are strange.

Although the No. 8 pick was a blind grab, the Knicks used the 17th pick in the first round from the trade to select the right person.

If you answer Duncan, it is normal. After all, the former's performance in the two seasons since he entered the NBA has been among the top five in the league.

Louis chose this position to take down Ginobili because he was mainly worried about a draw in New York. After all, in his previous life, R.C. found Ginobili by scouring the Spurs. Who knows if he will make the same choice in this life?

Therefore, it is safest to select the candidates in advance.

"Manuel Ginobili?"

He remembered that in his previous life, he did not play in the NBA until the end of his career, and at the age of 35, he became the oldest rookie in NBA history.

Bird shook his head: "This Russian doesn't have the ability to play in the NBA at first glance. Isiah is stupid."

Versatile warrior James Posey belongs to the Knicks.

The Celtics, who have always been conservative, actually used precious first-round picks to select overseas players.

Louis himself uses Artest as a backup, but he is definitely a likeable backup.

Artest's answer was heavyweight: "I like Kobe Bryant the most. I like to watch him play. He and I are the same kind of people. We are both street-style macho men."

It must be like this, right?

"Good idea, but I want to make some changes." Louis called to the front line, "Our choice is Manuel Ginóbili (Emanuel Ginóbili), he is Argentinian, you should have his

Information, remember, Manuel Ginobili, repeat it to me."

Louis smiled and informed the front line of the name.

Louis asked his colleagues for advice.

Regardless of intangible potential such as personality and IQ, in Louis' eyes, Ron Artest's technical characteristics are basically what Kawhi Leonard might have grown into if he had not joined the Spurs.

"The draft picks bought for hundreds of thousands of dollars, do you use them to play with?"

Judging from his size and strength, Artest can play the fourth position in small ball. When Louis started watching football in his previous life, Artest was no longer in his prime, but he was still as good on the defensive end as he was with the Rockets.

Like a wall, it is conceivable that in his heyday, his defensive style should be similar to Leonard's death entanglement.

After that, the remaining first-round picks were basically unknowns.

At the beginning of the second round of the draft, the Lakers used cash to buy the 12th pick in the second round from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Louis smiled and said: "If he is still there in the last lottery, we will choose him."

Jeff Foster C, a white center with a fierce style, was selected by the Trail Blazers.

Judging from the broadcaster's highlights, this is still a scrawny forward.

The Lakers selected Priginho with the 29th overall pick in the second round, ending the 1999 draft in a weird way.

Even if he says he likes Bodiroga, it doesn't matter. After all, the European guy plays like a magician. It's really strange that he likes Kobe.

Zhao Yuanzheng said euphemistically: "I think Pablo is also good."

Zhao Yuanzheng suggested: "We can take a risk."

At this time, Artest came on stage and was interviewed.

"Is it suitable?" Bird frowned, "This is a draft pick bought for hundreds of thousands."

Louis pretended to be 13. Although Bird didn't know why this damn fat guy suddenly turned to support Thomas, the opponent was a draft master and whatever he said was what he said.

The second question is, which Lakers player is his favorite.

He was asked what it would be like to play for the Lakers.

But selecting him with the fifteenth pick in the first round is not a risk.

"Indeed, but I just like his enchanting energy. After all, it's just a second-round pick (Bird complained: Yeah, it's only worth hundreds of thousands of dollars). I picked it all."

Because Artest is the expected pick at this position, it just depends on who makes the first move.

Louis did not expect that Zhao Yuanzheng would mention this person.

It's just that this kid fell in love with Priginho, but not Ginobili?

Louis could only lament that the draft is indeed a metaphysics that places great emphasis on luck. Even an excellent scout like Zhao Yuanzheng will miss a player like Ginobili.

Artest blew a rainbow fart to Louis: "Of course it feels great to play for the best coach in history!"

So, what kind of bad luck did the Spurs in the previous life have to be able to make consecutive mistakes?

If God were watching football, he would probably be jealous of these guys' luck, so let Leonard grow a bone.

"That's right."

"Humph, country bumpkin, don't be unconvinced. Although that damn dwarf has been stupid all his life, this is not a sure choice."

Based on his understanding of this Chinese guy, he would never choose an overseas player for no reason.

Short, burly forward Kenny Thomas went to the Clippers.

Zhao Yuanzheng laughed and said: "He was once on my watch list, but I think a style of play like his may not be able to be expressed in the NBA. In terms of his breakthrough method, he is wide open and close, and all kinds of body twisting.

Laying up, this kind of play is very taxing on the body. Once injured, he is finished, and"

Artest's problem is that if he is the team's number one, his offensive efficiency is low, but if he is the deputy next to the big core, or the third player in a championship team, he will be very valuable.

At the end of his career, Artest in his previous life also came to the CBA to make money like his old teammate Tracy McGrady. It was also about making money, but Artest's attitude was much more correct. In order to please the fans, he even changed his name to Panda.

Friends (Metta Ford-Artest).

Answering Benj will appear very official, acceptable to everyone, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"You picked another Dennis Rodman!"

The Lakers selected Ginobili, and then when the live broadcast announced the 29th pick in the second round, Pablo Priguinho was still unavailable.

As far as this person is concerned, Louis also has a good impression of him.

"That was before." Louis rolled his eyes, "You don't even think about how he still has the energy to participate in the draft when he is almost ninety years old (82 years old). I can only give you some advice."

The Celtics selected Andrei Kirilenko from Russia with the 23rd overall pick in the first round.

After that, the draft continues.

"Are you in a hurry?" Louis said with a smile, "It's not like I'm spending your money!"

West looked directly at Louis.

TNT and NBC made predictions one after another, but all of them were wrong.

After that, I was bored for about ten minutes.

There's definitely something special about that guy.

Buss Jr. asked: "But isn't Auerbach the director of the Celtics?"

West suggested drafting a point guard named John Celestand PG.

The live camera showed Reed Auerbach, so Louis knew it was the Celtics' turn to make a choice.

"It seems that the rumors about Isiah Thomas taking over the management are true." Jerry West said solemnly, "This decision cannot be made by Reed."

When Louis hung up the phone, Bird asked with a smile: "How come you guys are getting into trouble with the Argentines recently?"

Then, Louis saw on TV the ugliest NBA player since Sam Cassell - Devin George, a young shooter who looked like a black version of Zhu Bajie and was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks.

"Don't you have no choice? Just pick one and have fun."

With the 15th pick, Artest is an abnormal person.

Then he used two second-round picks to win two Argentine players that no one knew. Is this because the team's lineup is too strong, so they just started randomly selecting?

The magician could still use Laimbeer to wash his hands, but the two Argentinians at the back were chosen, and his smile froze.

"Although I don't understand, I choose to believe in Coach Lu." Magic said confidently, "He will prove that he is right as always."

Lakers fans would be more confident if Magic didn't have so much sweat on his cheeks.
