The rest is just noise

A full-time 4, plus a ball-handler?

"So, Clyde is a good fit." Gooden, the general manager of the Bulls, was as excited as if he was on drugs. "He played the fourth position in college and successfully transitioned to the three position after entering the league. His ball-handling skills

His ability and organizational skills are completely comparable to those of a point guard.”

Jazz general manager Scott Layden refused to do it.

If Drexler enters the Dream Team with this positioning, will Malone still have a problem?

"No, no, no, playing the fourth position in college does not mean that he can play the fourth position in the professional game." Leyden thought it was ridiculous for Malone not to join the Dream Team. "Coach Lu, who do you think is another player in the league?"

Better than Karl at the four?"

Louis said an answer that no one would object to: "Ralph?"

Leiden was stunned.

He really didn't expect that Sampson could also play the fourth position.

Sampson is too tall, making it difficult to associate him with the four position, but he can indeed play the four position, and he can also enter the first team as a four position. The year he was a first team power forward, especially

Because he was selected to the first team for the first time, otherwise, God knows how many years he would have been suppressed by Sampson.

"Indeed, if Ralph plays the fourth position in the Dream Team, I have nothing to say, but doesn't he prefer to play center?" Leyden winked at Louis.

Little brother, do you understand the almost pleading look in my brother’s eyes? Please raise your hand!

"That's right, because Ralph is the best center in the world and the best power forward in the world, so he can play any position in the Dream Team." Louis said Malone's words without thinking.

Situation, "Carl has always been a player that I pay close attention to. He has a strong body like a linebacker and has strong energy on both ends of the offense and defense. Combined with his performance in recent seasons, it can be seen that he is indeed the best in the league."

Good full-time 4."

Louis smiled lightly and said: "I hope he can join the dream team."

"He can definitely do it!" Leyden didn't even need to ask Malone's opinion, and expressed his position on the other side on the spot, "Carl has been waiting for this day for a long time. Being selected for the Dream Team is his highest honor, and everyone in the Rockies will do it."

Proud of him⑴.”

Earlier, Louis' impression of Malone was that he was a scumbag with a strong mentality and bad personal ethics.

Now, Malone has been in the league for many years, working diligently in Salt Lake City, and there have been almost no scandals.

Most of his disgusting scandals occurred in college, so from a professional player's perspective, there isn't much to criticize about this person.

As one of the top three power forwards in history, Louis had already planned to let him join the Dream Team.

"There is only one spot left, and it should belong to Clyde."

Gooden emphasized.

"He is a versatile wing who can hold the ball, which meets Coach Lu's needs. Moreover, he has many values ​​that cannot be described in just a few words."

Gooden was very confident when he said this.

Among all the players who were not selected for the Dream Team, there is indeed no one better than Glider.

"Haha, I think if we just need a ball handler, our team's Gary Payton can do the job." Even Nelson joined in the fun, "He is the best ball handler in the world."

Gooden was furious: "Charles's work ethic has not reached the level of a dream team at all!"

"Coach Lu needs a ball handler, not a wing who can temporarily take over the ball. These are two different concepts." Nelson continued to promote his favorite general, "If you only need a ball handler, Gary Payton

it's actually very good."

"You are deliberately confusing the concept proposed by Coach Lu!"

Louis once again became a spectator.

Is the glider good enough to join the dream team? Absolutely.

But he is really a player who is not as good as those above (Jordan, Wilson) but more than enough.

Personal characteristics are not enough to form an advantage for others, and shortcomings are too glaring when placed in a dream team.

In Louis' previous life, if Isiah Thomas wasn't so popular that even Chuck Daly didn't dare to speak for him, perhaps Drexler's position would have been replaced by the Smiling Assassin⑵.

"Coach Lu, tell me, among the remaining players, is there anyone more suitable to be selected for the Dream Team than Clyde?"

Gooden was a little anxious when he saw that Louis remained silent.

Louis smiled and said: "In terms of strength, Clyde should be a member of this team, but there are already many players with similar functions to him in this team. Compared with them, Clyde

Virtue does not have an obvious advantage."

"But isn't it the principle of the Dream Team to select the best of the best?" Gooden didn't understand. "If some players who are not as good as Clyde are selected, how can we convince the public?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difficulty in this matter.

As Louis’ guardian licking dog, no, guardian angel, Heat godfather Lewis Shafir said heartily: “Kreider, Coach Lu can’t bear to tell you the truth, why don’t you think about it yourself? If you don’t choose Clyde,

Is it because of his strength? What did he do in Portland? What did he say after the tragic star was infected with HIV? You don’t think these things can be ignored, do you? Are two MJs willing to be his teammates?”

"What do personal emotions mean in the face of national honor?" Gooden instantly took the high ground, but that was the problem.

What prevented Drexler from joining the Dream Team was Jordan and the Tragedy Master.

This is really ironic.

He didn't expect that Thomas' script would actually fall on Drexler.

On that day, the discussion of the tenth member of the dream team came to no result.

Drexler was a candidate who could not be ignored, but Louis was unwilling to let him join the dream team. The parties could not agree, so the issue could only be shelved.

It's not time to make a big list yet.

The discussion afterwards became much more harmonious.

Regarding the coaching staff, Louis is the head coach, but he does not have the right to choose assistant coaches.

The chief assistant coach was selected by the Basketball Association and the league after discussions. This person was also Louis' friend Lanny Wilkens.

Louis and Wilkens have a history together.

It was the 1985-86 season. There was a player on the Knicks called Louis Orr (now retired), a power forward who had potential but had no development prospects in the Knicks. Wilkens wanted him because he was in

The SuperSonics traded the first-round draft pick of that season to the Celtics. If the team didn't perform well, the high-ranking draft pick would be given to Boston for nothing.

Louis seized on the opponent's eagerness to achieve results and asked for players and first-round swaps.

It is worth mentioning that that first-round swap will be realized this year, and currently, the SuperSonics' record ranks fifth from the bottom in the league.

"Lanny and I are close friends, no problem."

Hearing that they were going to arrange for Wilkens to be his assistant coach, Louis had no objection at all.

Although the former is a bit wrong to be a general manager, as a coach, his qualifications are too deep.

Wilkens started as a player and coach in 1969. His career spanned the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. He was also one of the pioneers of black coaches. He is the most representative figure of professional basketball coaches at any level.

Another assistant coach is Coach K from Duke University.

He has long expressed his intention to play for the national team, whether as head coach or assistant coach.

The third assistant coach is also an acquaintance of Louis.

P-J Carlesimo, Louis and he met two years ago. When Louis went to the US national team to get familiar with him, he happened to be an assistant coach of that team.

Finally, Louis asked for two assistant coach positions.

He hopes to have two partners who know everything about them.

The people on the selection committee agreed, with only one requirement: the assistant coach must be American.

Louis had no problem with it, because he had originally planned to give this opportunity to Rudy Tomjanovich.

At the mid-term annual meeting, most things related to the Dream Team have been decided.

Currently, the dream team has three questions left.

The selection of college players, whether the tragedy master will return, and the only remaining spot that is fiercely competed by all parties.

Louis already had the answer in his mind about who he wanted to choose, but now Chicago was reacting fiercely, so he had to wait a little longer until they recognized the reality, and then they could throw out the candidate in his mind⑶.

⑴ Just as New York State belongs to the Midwest and Boston belongs to New England.

⑵In reality, the last two players confirmed by the Dream Team were Glider and Laettner. Daley never fought for Thomas from beginning to end. Even the roster of Dream Team members he set did not include Thomas. As for why it happened

In this case, I don’t know, because Glider was the second player in the league in the 1991-92 season (and was selected at the buzzer?), and Daley and Thomas never had any conflicts. As Thomas’ coach in the Pistons, he didn’t even mention the Assassins.

The mouth is too much.

⑶ A footnote that came to mind at the moment, Olajuwon did not have American citizenship at this time. He was not officially naturalized until 1993.
