The rest is just noise

Chapter 874 Real Super Giant and False Super Giant

July 1

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost two weeks since the dream team was assembled, and the structure and relationships within the team began to become clear.

The people who were close friends with Bird were Tragedy and Sampson and Ewing.

Moreover, the direct reason why Bird and Ewing went from being dissatisfied with each other to becoming friends in just two weeks was that they both played for Louis - Bird saw how Ewing was tortured by Louis.

Just discussing Louis, they have a lot in common.

The relationship between Isiah Thomas and Bird is as ordinary as water. Although they have been teammates together for ten years, except for the championship on their resume, their personal relationship is almost non-existent.

On the contrary, Sampson and Thomas have a close relationship.

In the Dream Team, those who interacted most frequently with Thomas were Jordan and Barkley.

Louis originally thought that his worldview in his previous life would be ruined in the Dream Team, but news came out that Isiah Thomas would be traded to the Trail Blazers.

Thomas' contract has expired and he has no intention of staying in Charlotte to grow up with those rebellious young people.

Moreover, he didn't think he could control young people.

He was willing to be the third child in Boston for ten years because of his sense of honor and the thorn in his heart that Louis left. These ten years established his style of conduct, and he puts honor first in everything.

Charlotte cannot satisfy his desire to be the boss, and he is unwilling to go to a weak team to improve his statistics. Therefore, going to a championship team best meets his current needs.

The Trail Blazers certainly don't have the salary space to give Thomas a maximum salary, but there are many ways to sign him.

Jordan's henchman Ahmed Rashad confirmed rumors that Thomas would be traded to Portland.

In fact, it was Rashad who spread the news.

Thomas and Jordan, Barkley's approach became understandable.

The fact that Wilson and Barkley became good friends is something that Louis doesn't quite understand.

The former is a hard-working person, while the latter is a talkative person. One uses practical actions to prove himself, while the other puts most of his dreams to rest in words.

How come these two people have something in common?

However, communication between people is inherently uncertain.

Some people just have the same chemistry, and some just don't like each other.

Wilson and Jordan were like enemies on the court, but on the training field of the Dream Team, they rarely faced each other.

Louis almost couldn't remember how Wilson provoked Jordan.

In addition to the socially awkward people, Louis also pays close attention to those weirdos and low-status rookies who are different from ordinary people.

Karl Malone has no friends in the Dream Team, but he also has no enemies. He has a decent relationship with everyone.

David Robinson's relationship with the tragedy master was unexpectedly estranged.

He is a noble gentleman, and neither the Lakers nor the big dye vat in Los Angeles can change this. When the tragic star was infected with the HIV virus, Robinson publicly stated: "I have advised him long ago, but it is a pity that this kind of thing still happened.

."

He is not blaming or criticizing the tragedian.

His attitude was one of disapproval but respect, and he believed that God would save the tragedy master.

He also believes that the HIV virus is a blessing from God to the tragic man.

This kind of person will not speak harshly to you directly.

But his various behaviors will make you feel that you have done something crazy.

However, even if you are so despicable, God can still save you as long as you pray sincerely for salvation.

He is the only player on the Dream Team that Louis dislikes.

Especially when Louis was cursing someone, he would whisper: "Coach, you don't have to say that, God will show us the way."

Louis hated him, but there was nothing he could do.

This person can be selected into the Dream Team, just like O'Neal was selected into the top 50 in 1997. It is purely due to his strong presence. It is reasonable to recruit him/select him, but it is also true that he is annoying.

Then there are Stockton, Pippen and Laettner.

The longer Stockton spent on the Dream Team, the more he realized he didn't belong here.

Not to mention comparing with Thomas, but also comparing with his competitor Pippen, there is a clear gap in his personal ability.

As a socially autistic person, he had no friends on the training team except Ewing and Louie.

Pippen's dilemma lies in his character and origins.

He was very confused, why after retiring as a tragic figure, the Lakers' head talker, and he was selected for the Dream Team, he had to compete with Stockton?

He believes there is no competitive relationship between himself and Stockton.

But he couldn't say it out loud.

He feels that he is the boss of the Lakers, but Robinson is obviously more influential than him. He feels that he should support the Lakers who have lost their tragic hero, but obviously, in the eyes of others, the Lakers are Robinson's team.

He even got the dream team training qualification from the tragedy master.

Whether he is finally selected or not depends on Louis's face.

For this man who is so stingy that he refuses to even tip, the personal lives of the other members of the Dream Team have nothing to do with him.

He just wants to prove himself here and win the title of a dream team member.

Finally, there is Lightner.

He also suffers from social arrogance, but he can't be arrogant around a group of big names.

The superstar in the college league, when he came to the dream team, he flickered like a firefly. He was just an embellishment, a follower, a tool that everyone wanted to come and go, a person that even Louis could not stand.

Ignore the existence.

This is the dream team.

Real superstars expand their social circle by joining this team, while false superstars run into obstacles everywhere in search of recognition.

However, the leisurely days soon ended.

Through the operation of the American Basketball Association and the College Basketball Committee, the Dream Team has received a group of high-quality sparring coaches.

They found nine top college players for their dream team.

In terms of strength, college players are definitely not as good as professional players.

Therefore, Pippen and Stockton, the two undecided members of the Dream Team who will participate in the training camp, will join the college team.

Some people have questioned the quality of competition that a sparring team composed mainly of college students can bring, but the NBA can no longer open its mouth to professional players.

Most of the undrafted players are respectable people. Who is willing to be their sparring partner?

Imagine Drexler coming to the training gym and playing a match against the Dream Team as a sparring partner. That scene would be too cruel.

Previously, the college students and the dream team separated after training for one day.

This is the second meeting.

After arriving at the hotel, the college students bumped into Louis and Wilson.

Louis recognized several of the players at a glance - "Penny" Hardaway, Grant Hill, Bob Hurley, Chris Webber, Alan Houston, Jamal Mashburn.

The acquaintance he said meant acquaintance before time travel.

The other three were not familiar to each other before Louis traveled through time, but they got to know each other after he traveled through time.

They are Rodney Rogers SF, Lindsey Hunter PG, and Eric Montross C.

They scrambled to block the elevator door to prevent it from closing before Louis and Wilson entered.

"Although you are all college students, I believe you have a chance to win the competition." Louis hoped that Wilson would be more serious then, "Benj, they will make you suffer."

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game." Wilson was like a big brother next door in the elevator.

He is warm and harmless.

After getting out of the elevator, he became a "conqueror".

Before leaving with Louis, he said to the college students: "I hope you get into the league early so I can kick your ass one after another."

After Wilson finished speaking, he left with Louis.

The college students were stunned. At that time, no one outside the league knew how much NBA players liked to talk trash. Their reaction to Wilson's slightly joking trash talk was not fear or anger, but surprise.

Who is Benjamin Wilson?

That was the superstar who led the team to win five consecutive championships, the guy who made Bird dormant, made tragedy masters cry, and made Jordan unable to win a championship so far.

College students repeatedly talked about this, and it seemed like they couldn't believe it.

The Conqueror talked trash? And to me?

In the next few days, the college star team seemed to be living in a dream. Professional players respected them very much.

Pippen is one of the representatives.

Pippen, who couldn't hold his head up in front of a group of superstars, finally found something to support himself with.

Because he would form a team with college students to play the Dream Team in the next few days, Pippen would often put aside his own affairs and give guidance to the college students.

College students feel like he's around him, just like he feels around the superstars in his dream team.

July 2

The important moment is coming.

On this day, a mixed team of college students and professional players will play a training match with the Dream Team.

When they arrived at the San Diego Stadium that day, everyone felt like a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The players of the Dream Team also entered the arena. Laettner looked at the college players opposite and felt weird. Because his teammates at Duke University, Hill and Bobby Hurley, were on that side.

Today, Leitner stood opposite them.

Louis also brought a special guest - his wife Monica Bellucci (again, the narrator will call Lorraine by her stage name when outside).

Monica is not here to be a spectator, she will be responsible for the video shooting of this game.

But for both participating parties, having a popular star like Monica Bellucci watching the game is obviously more meaningful than having her as a cameraman on the sidelines.
