Chapter 875: This sport is not worthy of a great athlete like me

However, something went wrong in the final stages of the 1992 draft.

Louis originally planned to select Yu Tiancan and Hu Weidong at the same time.

He prepared the fourth pick for Yu Tiancan and the Spurs' second-round pick for Hu Weidong (the 13th pick in the second round). As a result, Don Nelson won the favor and used the sixth pick of the second round to intercept Hu Weidong.

Therefore, the Spurs' second-round pick was used to select Matt Steigenga SF/PF from Michigan State University.

Stegenga is a typical young, big but not necessarily type player.

In 1988, he was the basketball talent that attracted national attention and the great white hope of Generation X⑴.

But it is a pity that Stegenga's body matured too early, which made him an invincible player in high school, but when he went to college, he suddenly turned into a loser.

He is no longer unique. After four years of college, the draft market has also been wiped out. The Knicks used a second-round pick to select him, and there are really few options.

The Knicks' last pick and the last pick in the draft.

Based on past experience, the Knicks will sell this pick.

But this year, their plan was to select two Chinese players, Yu Tiancan and Hu Weidong, to seize the Chinese market. Now that Hu Weidong has not been selected, there is still one spot left to fill the 15-man roster, so Zhao Yuanzheng recommended to Louis a player who is currently in

Chinese players on the verge of being undrafted.

"Xiao Wang?" Louis was surprised when he saw this name, "I remember he was from the second phase of the Road Yuan Travel in America, right?"

Zhao Yuanzheng nodded: "Yes."

"Can he do it?" Louis was unsure.

Zhao Yuanzheng smiled and said: "You can give it a try, at least we can observe him for a season."

"All right."

Louis called Baylor.

Therefore, the Knicks used the 27th pick in the second round to select a Chinese player from D2, Wang Mukong⑵, a Chinese player from the second phase of Luyuan's stay in the United States.

There are a total of twelve players in the second phase of the tour in the United States. Wang Mukong was selected purely because of his excellent physical condition.

Wang Mukong came from a sports family. His father was a track and field athlete. He was supposed to inherit his father's career. By chance, he fell in love with basketball after being exposed to basketball. Later, Louis opened a school in China, and Wang's father heard that the child was selected.

If he has the opportunity to be sent to the United States to study, he will no longer stop his son from playing basketball.

Initially, Wang Mukong was selected for the first round of study in the United States, but he did not stand out in the star-studded first round and was not ready in all aspects, so he delayed his departure for a year before successfully going abroad. After coming to the United States, due to his academic performance

Unfortunately, it took Wang Mukong a full year and a half to forcefully open the door of D2. After two years of college, he was already 24 years old.

Players of this age are all ready to fight, but Wang Mukong is not. He is characterized by good explosive power, fast running speed, and accurate mid-range shots. However, he did not receive correct guidance in D2. He is thin and has poor luck control and other basic skills due to his playing skills.

It was too late and was delayed.

The reason why Louis chose him was not only recommended by Zhao Yuanzheng and no one could choose him, but also partly because of his physical condition that is rare among yellow people - 196 cm tall, 204 cm wingspan, speed, explosive power, and quietness.

His dynamic talent is top-notch, and it must be said that it is a loss for the national basketball team to develop like this.

But he is 24 years old, not 34. As long as the method is right, people will always make progress.

Use the 27th pick in the second round to draw a small lottery ticket, no matter how you look at it, you won't lose.

If Wang Mukong comes out, Louis's hard work will be in vain; if he doesn't come out, Louis has done his best.

The Knicks have made consecutive gains in the draft for the first time in a long time.

They drafted four players one after another.

The selection of three Chinese players was also the big news of the day. Several domestic media came to the draft for the first time to conduct interviews.

The Knicks' front-line representative is veteran coach Doug Moe.

When domestic reporters asked Lao Mo whether the joining of Yu Tiancan and Wang Mukong was a "big deal" for the Knicks, you could see that Lao Mo was confused.

Louis must have had a problem with the reporter's speaking.

Perhaps he wanted to ask, "What does the addition of these two people mean to the Knicks?"

"This is definitely a big thing." Lao Mo replied experiencedly, "Our scouts have been observing Harold for four years. As a defender, Wang's shooting skills impressed us deeply.

He is very fast and has a long wingspan. I think he will play in the NBA for many years. He is the kind of player who can play."

As far as Louis is concerned, there is no problem. Even if Lao Mo is not an assistant coach, he is still good as a public relations officer.

After the draft, Louis called Nelson to congratulate him on selecting Hu Weidong.

"Nellie, no one has ever been able to steal my man in the draft. You are the first."

Hearing Louis' teasing, Nelson joked back to him: "Well, you give Harold to me, and I can forcefully give Hu back to you."

"I believe Hu will have a good development in Golden State." Louis later said, "However, if you don't need him one day, please call me."

Louis and Nelson finally made an agreement.

If the Warriors want to trade Hu Weidong in the future, they will be the first to contact the Knicks.

The Knicks' coaching staff will also be reorganized this summer.

Through Louis' recommendation, Jeff Van Gundy received a head coaching contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Billy Donovan successfully passed the interview with Lewis Shafir and signed a multi-year coaching contract with the Heat.

For Donovan and Van Gundy, Louis gave them an extremely perfect promotion step.

Moreover, even their coaching work has been arranged.

Most rookie coaches will take over a bad team, and only a few lucky ones will be able to take charge of a strong team.

What Louis prepared for Donovan was the Heat, which was second in the Eastern Conference, and what he prepared for Van Gundy was the Clippers with Olajuwon, Mutombo and Sprewell.

The particularity of coaching work determines that their performance is linked to the lineup.

If the team is too weak, even the best coach in history will not be able to achieve good results.

Having a good team at the start is a key factor in determining their future.

One of these two coaching opportunities was originally prepared for Tomjanovich. But Tomjanovich rejected it after careful consideration.

There are two reasons why Tomjanovich does not coach the Clippers and Heat.

One is the Clippers. Although their lineup is starting to improve, there are still huge hidden dangers.

That's their boss.

Tomjanovich felt that if his character were presented to Sterling, what would be the difference between the kiss scene between Guli Naza and Xiao Yueyue - oh, they actually filmed it, that's fine, I'll change it.

Metaphor - what's the difference between that and Risa Tachibana and Yuta Imai's "Squash! Squash! Squash them all!" series?

As for the Heat, what they want is a coach who pays attention to the defensive system, especially a coach who has a long-term plan for training the team's defense.

Tomjanovich thinks he is not suitable. Although Donovan is young, his understanding of the defensive system makes even Louis amazed.

Therefore, he decided to work with Louis for a few more years. There was always an opportunity.

Once the draft is over, Louis has to focus on his dream team again.

Even if he is not the captain, whatever the tragedy master wants to do, he will discuss it with Wilson and Jordan before making a decision.

The Dream Team is different from the Knicks in that Louis does not have complete control.

These big names have their own schedules every day, so the first thing Louis needs to ask before a new day comes is: "Do you want to train tomorrow?"

At this time, the tragedy master will look at Wilson and Jordan.

Mainly Jordan, Wilson doesn't have much to do. Basketball is as important to him as oxygen.

Jordan has turned down many business activities for the sake of the Dream Team, but playing golf is like gambling for him and he cannot quit: "Try to start training as early as possible, because I still want to play golf."

Since Wilson rarely had anything to do of his own, in the end, the tragedy maker basically only looked at what Jordan wanted.

It feels like the Dream Team is Jordan's team.

Wilson was unfazed by this potential jockeying for status.

This is also the reason why he and Ewing can coexist peacefully on the surface.

But just because Wilson doesn't fight, doesn't mean others don't fight.

Ewing finally couldn't stand being ignored.

When Jordan said he had his own things to do, Ewing also said: "I have something to do too."

"What's the matter with you?" Louis didn't know what he was going to do.

When Ewing thought about it, he really had nothing else to do.

"I play golf too!" Ewing said reluctantly.

"I told you earlier, Patrick." Jordan smiled and patted Ewing on the shoulder, "Let's do it together."

Also declaring dominance, Jordan's emotional intelligence allowed him to easily suppress Ewing without making anyone unhappy.

Ewing was speechless.

Only Barkley looked at Jordan with fear and asked Ewing: "Are you sure you want to be with him?"

"It's none of your business." Jordan got a headache thinking of Barkley's heroic appearance in golf. "Even if I give up playing golf, I will never play with you again."

"Damn big-eared bastard, if you hadn't taught me how to play the so-called correct golf step by step, would my muscle memory of playing golf be gone? It's all your fault that I'm like that!" Barkley said arrogantly, "

This sport is not worthy of a great athlete like me."

⑴ Generation

⑵ Including Wang Mukong, most of the famous players in Luyuan are customized characters. These customized characters have different strengths and weaknesses. Some are designed to be too strong, so I will weaken them, and some are designed to be too weak, so I will not strengthen them.

So there will be geniuses, role players, ordinary starters, mascots, and those who can’t survive in the NBA. They will not take over the spotlight. This footnote is prepared for the guy who customized the role of Wang Mukong - I feel that the name Wang Mukong has a symbolic meaning.

It wasn’t very good (if the wood is empty, it will break. If the Five Elements and Nayin belong to a pillar of wood, if it is empty, it will cause death, which generally means weakness and illness), so I modified it a little.
