The rest is just noise
Chapter 349 The Great Seed
In the 1986 NCAA basketball game, the Pac-10 Conference, where UCLA was located, still did not have a three-point line.
This incident is not a good thing for Bruins junior guard Reggie Miller, who will create a legend on the NBA three-point line in the future.
Miller, who was in college, according to the scouting report submitted by Zhao Yuanzheng, gave the impression that he was a replica of George Gervin who had shooting ability, but had weird shooting movements and was thin but dared to hit the basket.
But he didn't have Gervin's magical skill of wrapping his hands around his fingers, and instead used his own body to fight against the force.
After the opening, Louis saw Miller running around the team's tactical system.
There are free throw line jumpers, there are wings catching the ball and driving to the basket.
The most impressive thing is the superstar Benjamin Wilson who has the potential to be the No. 1 pick in the next four years.
He played power forward in the UCLA system, but he had ball-handling offense at the small forward level. The lack of a three-point line in the college game weakened his range advantage, but he was still outstanding.
In the eyes of professional scouts, Wilson has the possibility of becoming the top pick no matter which year he participates in the draft in the next four years.
The strength of the Celtics and Lakers, as well as the potential of the Trail Blazers, made Louis know that he could not rely solely on Ewing to succeed.
If the Knicks want to become a galactic battleship like Hukai, they need more good players.
Miller is his favorite, and Wilson is a player who has great appeal but also has many questions.
Louis' biggest question is, why has he never heard of Wilson's name in his previous life?
In terms of talent, skills and character, it is impossible for him to fall.
As long as he enters the NBA, he will definitely become a well-known superstar. This is not only Louis' judgment of him, but also the consensus of scouts across the United States.
One scout may be wrong, but not every scout will be wrong.
Louis thought about the shooting that day.
Perhaps, he and Jennifer unintentionally changed Wilson's fate?
Wilson faced Sean Elliott at the power forward position. Although this guy has the size of a small forward, he was also moved to the fourth position in Arizona.
As a result, he was no match for Wilson.
They are all super freshmen, and Wilson's super is obviously greater than his.
In one round, Wilson continued to grab rebounds to make up the score.
In another round, Wilson ignored UCLA's tactical system and singled out Elliott. He changed direction with his left hand, shook the man away, and made an emergency stop to pull up.
What best reflects his personality is that after Miller ran out of opportunities, he chose to force his way inside and dunk three opposing players.
His dunks and roars, the perfect combination of technique and body drove Jennifer crazy.
"You have to choose him!" Jennifer yelled, "You have to choose him!"
"Okay, calm down!" Louis held down Jennifer.
Jennifer sat down to control her voice, but said excitedly: "Benj told me that he will participate in the draft this year. If you select him, I will be a die-hard fan of the Knicks from next season!
"
Hearing this, Louis said funnyly: "So you are not a die-hard fan of the Knicks now? I thought we were friends. Shouldn't friends support each other?"
"I'm not!" Jennifer snorted, "Your current game is too ugly, and Patrick is not as good as the legend says!"
Not only Jennifer has discovered this, but Americans who follow basketball have also discovered it.
"He's just not as good as the fans expected." Louis said for Ewing, "Georgetown delayed him."
But Jennifer still looked like she didn't like Ewing.
It's no wonder, just like Hu Ge's last TV series "The Hunting Ground", every time Stephen Chow releases a new movie, every new album by Jay Chou, and every RNG before the S8 World Series is not attracting much attention, and there is no one that is not disappointing.
.Except for Stephen Chow's movies, the other ones are not as bad as they look. Except for RNG's World Championship, the results of the other ones are not that unacceptable, but they are definitely not worthy of people's expectations.
Just like Ewing, the higher you are praised, the higher the requirements will naturally be on you.
When the bubble blows up, the aftermath of the explosion will naturally be huge.
Louis watched the game for a while longer, and then started doing his old job, taking out the notebook he carried with him to take notes.
The people he focuses on are all at UCLA.
Miller's running without the ball is already very good. He must find a way to get this guy in the future, because the Knicks also play the UCLA system and he can connect seamlessly.
As for Wilson, Louis redacted his course notes multiple times.
At first, Louis felt that his offensive tendency was too focused on the right side. Was he not good at attacking from the left side?
As a result, he discovered that the reason why Wilson played on the right many times was because his opponent tightly blocked his left.
In other words, the opponent defends him by guarding left and right.
Is his left attack the most dangerous?
He has quick reactions, keen awareness, and amazing arm length. He can dominate the college basketball world just by relying on height, arm length, shooting, running and jumping. He has a high shooting point, fingers as delicate as plucking strings, quick shots, and boldness. There is already a great shooter.
Required shooting motion.
Excellent speed, height, coordination and sense of rhythm.
He is not a shooter like Durant, Bird, or Nowitzki who relies on his length to defeat the opponent's defense.
He is the second and third position swingman like Jordan, Kobe, and McGrady who is full of murderous intent, despises all defenses, and takes action when the situation comes.
His problem is that with a height of 203 centimeters, if he just relies on dry pulls, it will be a bit of a waste of his body advantage.
Louis watched this high-level college game carefully. Although Wilson achieved a dominant position and dominated Arizona with Miller, he still exposed several flaws of his own.
One of his flaws is that he is too egotistical. He has the mentality of a superstar and likes to play above tactics.
Secondly, I lost a bit of weight, so I was fine in college games, but definitely not good enough to compete in the NBA.
Then there is the common problem with his height, that the center of gravity of dribbling is too high. In college games, few people can prescribe the right medicine, but it will be different in the NBA. But his basic dribbling skills are very good, so this flaw has a good chance to be improved.
It can be said that he now has the ability to average 20 points per game in the NBA.
With his size, athletic talent, skills, big heart, and leadership qualities, if Louis needs to find an offensive leader, a player who can compete with Bird, Magic, and Jordan, Wilson is the young man who will enter the NBA in the next few years.
The most suitable one among people.
Louis' concern about him mainly stems from the fact that he had never heard Wilson's name in his previous life.
Although this matter could be explained, he still had no idea.
He wondered if Wilson had some problems that he didn't understand.
In the few minutes of the second half, Wilson's actions confirmed Louis' idea of getting him.
It was a round when Elliott played from the back, focused his defense, and hit a 2+1.
In the next few minutes, he behaved like a violent cuckold, sullen, holding the ball, playing with his back, catching the ball, dunking on the break, and making a sudden jumper that made Elliott lose his center of gravity.
He roared every time he scored on Elliott, like a lion asserting his dominance.
Techniques can be practiced and defects can be repaired, but the character to dominate the opponent, the kind of ruthless spirit that will retaliate, if you give me a punch, I will chase you to the ends of the earth, is given by God.
The template Louie set up for Wilson in his notebook was an updated version of Rick Barry.
In his mind, he thought Wilson was a Tracy McGrady with a Kevin Garnett personality.
It's hard to say whether his learning ability is as good as McGrady's.
But the next 19-year-old player on this planet who is 203 centimeters tall, has high dribbling skills but is good enough to play point guard, and has a perfect combination of speed, coordination, athletic ability, and skills, is Tracy McGrady.
After so many years, you have seen Martians like James, freaks like Durant, and weird genetic mutations like the Greek Monster and Zion, but you have never seen the second Tracy McGrady.
We probably have to wait for another ten years or so before we can see a genius who has no flaws in static and dynamic talents, and who is 203 centimeters tall but can dribble as smoothly as a 1.9-meter guard.
If the biggest flaw God gave McGrady was his natural spinal problem, what is Wilson’s problem? Is he God’s favorite? Or is the bullet that missed him last year the problem? Or,
Are there any problems that Louis hasn't discovered yet?
89 to 66
The old rivalry between UCLA and Arizona ended with the Bruins' victory.
Benjamin Wilson was the star of the stars tonight. He scored 41 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 70%.
He eclipsed Miller, who scored 19 points efficiently.
When UCLA's current coach and school legend Walt Hazzard evaluated Wilson's performance, there was something that caught Louis' attention: "Benj is the most talented player I have ever seen. The thing that stopped him from climbing to the top."
On his own, as he did in this game, he made a lot of heroic shots that overshadowed his opponents, but those goals would have been better ended if they had been passed to teammates. Of course he made them,
This is good, but it would be better if it was spread out."
It sounds like he is talking about another Kobe, but Louis always feels that what Hazard wants to express is not that Wilson plays selfishly, but that he sometimes "cares too much"?
"Promise me you will definitely choose Benj, you won't regret it!"
Jennifer has become a big fan of Wilson, and this is the 12th time she asked Louis to choose Wilson today.
"That also depends on whether we have draft picks!"
"You have to prepare early! He will participate in the draft this year!" Jennifer said as if she had inside information. "You will definitely regret not selecting him!"
