The Rest, Only Noise

Today, the channel selected by the Celtics draft war room is abc. In previous years, they chose tnt for Louis' sake.

This year, Louis can't stand TNT anymore.

Compared with ABC, TNT's talent show is like cross talk. The problem is, Barkley is just too much of a jerk. Whenever anyone disagrees with him, he mentions the ring.

If the other person doesn't have a ring, then you don't have a ring, so you don't make sense.

Even if the other party has rings, but the number of rings is less than him, it will mean that I have more rings than you, so I am right.

The audience may like the effect of this program very much, but for Louis, whose ring is twice that of Barkley, he really doesn't agree with this diode argument.

As for the old champions like Ewing Bird who wear one hand, they are even more disdainful of Barkley's behavior. Vice President Dumars is definitely one of the Celtics executives who least want to see Barkley.

Because Barkley loves to poke fun at Dumars on the topic of selection.

Barkley believes that Dumars retired too early. He could have stayed with the Lakers for another year and got five rings.

I have to say that Barkley is right, but Dumars can't turn his head back. Isn't it annoying that the fat man still likes to mention this? As for Pat Riley, guess he wants to see Barkley?

At seven thirty in the evening, David Stern emerged wearing a pink tie. Several hosts of abc began to guess the champion.

Speaking of which, ABC's commentary team has many acquaintances of future fans, and the most surprising one is Stephen A. Smith.

In this life, this future golden mouth, whose lips are as thick as Kenny Smith's, can no longer create golden sentences for fans. I was only 5 years old when the Knicks won the championship last time, and now I am more than 50 years old.

In addition to Smith, there is another acquaintance, that is, former nbag Dick Vitale who has been working in the sports network for many years.

In case you've forgotten him, here's a friendly reminder that he's the Pistons GM who was caught by Louie and Auerbach blackmailed two first rounders (Sampson/Thomas) in order to sign Bob McAdoo .

After that deal, Vitale was out of a job in the NBA.

But he quickly found a job in television, and thus launched a Hall of Fame-level commentary career. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Louie couldn't believe that the 2004 No. 1 pick would be so controversial.

After Stern finished the nonsense that he would talk about every year, the scene gave this year's No. 1 pick to the Portland Trail Blazers five minutes to make a choice.

ABC took full advantage of the five minutes to compare Emeka Okafor and Dwight Howard who is more qualified to be the No. 1 pick.

Because Kwame Brown, Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler and other highly anticipated high school players did not perform well in the NBA, professionals no longer trust high school students so much.

Moreover, the 2004 NBA Draft happened to be a small year in consecutive draft years. Apart from Howard, Okafor is considered talented in college basketball.

However, these two are still undersized short centers. Okafor has a higher degree of completion. Howard is talented but very primitive in technology. Who knows if he is the next Kwame?

Dick Vitale said something that made Louie laugh: If Portland was smart enough, they'd take Emeka, and if they weren't smart enough, they'd take Dwight.

I haven't seen him for many years, and this old man's level has not improved at all.

Even if he didn't open his eyes and let Louis choose between these two, he would choose Howard instead of Okafor. Because Okafor was basically a poor man's version of Howard in college.

However, his physical fitness has deteriorated, and his height is even shorter. After several years of training in Connecticut, his style of play and technology are basically finalized, and he is a finished product.

He has only a few slight advantages over Howard. One is a sufficient team, and the other is high tactical quality.

Basically, those who have been in college for several years have similar characteristics. A few minutes later, the Blazers revealed the answer to the audience.

While many believe Okafor is more deserving of the No. 1 pick, they aren't planning to play it safe with the No. 1 pick. Pick the one with the most possibilities.

As a result, Howard came to Portland as the No. 1 pick.

Stephen A. Smith came up with a sentence: Can Dwight change the decline of the Michael Jordan era?

In other words, j just didn't win the championship. Can his years in Portland be called a decline? Dumas smiled wryly. Lambiel said heartlessly: Luthor, who didn't win the championship, is a cutie who can be dressed up by others.

Subsequently, the Los Angeles Clippers, who held the second overall pick, selected the uncrowned king Emeka Okafor.

It was the Clippers' fourth lottery pick since 2000, and Emeka went to a team that was theoretically the worst for his development. The Clippers have Rasheed Wallace, Stromile Swift and Eddie Curry, and now that Okafor has been selected, the new insiders will soon be able to join the mahjong table.

In fact, the Clippers originally wanted to trade the No. 2 pick. The first team to pounce was the Bobcats.

The Bobcats want to use the future No. 2 pick of the Clippers in the first round of the studs, and then choose one of Howard or Okafor. If it was Howard who fell down, it might really make Mr. Dan, a blind cat, meet a dead mouse.

However, Wilson opposed Jordan's plan, because the Bobcats had just been established and had no foundation at all. Draft picks were their most important asset.

Unable to get enough returns, the Clippers had to digest the No. 2 pick alone.

Because Penny Hardaway chose to truce indefinitely after being injured last season, the Warriors, who lost the guarantee of winning, kept losing and eventually fell into the lottery zone, drawing the third overall pick.

If the team that gets the third pick is not the Warriors, maybe Okafor’s college teammate Ben Gordon will be selected as the No. 3 pick, but the Warriors are different. They are sitting on the league’s largest Asian business market, so naturally they will not miss it. The top five favorites in this draft - rakish (1) Lin Ziye from the University of Memphis.

Is there a mistake?

Louis has always had some misunderstandings about Lin Ziye. He thinks that this kid is a bit exaggerated and has too many tricks. Although his talent is very good, it is easy to lose himself in a country full of temptations like the United States.

In the end, Louis saw the right person.

Lin Ziye really has a lot of troubles. From high school to college, the girlfriends he has had can't be counted with his hands and feet. During his sophomore year, it was even rumored that he stepped on three boats and encountered three girls in the same frame on Valentine's Day. Anecdotes about Shura Field.

The nickname rakish completely reflects the outside world's views on Lin Ziye - this nickname was born last winter, when he met a beautiful woman when he was playing with the team in a cup match, he said that he would score 40 points in a single game as a gift for the two of them , and he did what he said.

Let's put it this way, as a talented basketball player who locked in the lottery early, his two-year college history is far richer than his basketball history. It's just that this person loves to play, but he didn't miss his job.

Last year, as a freshman with Wuxia, he was firmly established in the starting lineup of Jingjingshuge and helped the team win the national championship.

Later, Lu Wuxia participated in the election, and Lin Ziye, who stayed in school, became the core of the Tigers in his sophomore year, averaging 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game. In Louis' eyes, Lin Ziye is more like a Lamar Odom with full attack attributes.

As a result, the scouts dared to brag, and directly gave him a template of James and Worthy. Not to mention, it doesn't sound right at first glance, but it looks like it when you think about it.

Lin Ziye has a height of 206 centimeters and a wingspan of 218 centimeters, which is an excellent level. He is tall and has a long arm. At the same time, his agility, explosive power, coordination and sense of the ball are all above average. The first step when holding the ball is extremely fast. As a left-hander Yes, the passing ability is also good, likes to play tricks, but the favorite is to score.

His problem is very similar to Odom's. He is easily distracted without the ball, and he doesn't know what to do. Technically, scouts have a high evaluation, but there are doubts about whether his ability to hold the ball can be realized in the NBA.

Seeing that Lin Ziye had been selected, Louis quickly looked at the list of Little Green Houses and found that there was no Xiao Yi.

Later, Louis learned that Xiao Yi chose to stay in school for the third season, because he was not a highly mature player like Lu Wuxia and Lin Ziye, and playing a few more years in college would help him prepare for the NBA.

Louis thinks this decision is good. The risk of semi-finished insiders entering the NBA is too great. Looking at the history of the league, there are very few top insiders who have become top players through team training and their own growth after entering the league.

Because there are not many teams that can train insiders, it is better for a talented man like Xiaoyi who is autistic and needs to strengthen his foundation and skills to play in college for a few more years. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Later, after seeing that the Bobcats selected Ben Gordon with the fourth pick, Louie told others that he would go to the gym for a few steps. Don't call me unless Tony Allen is picked by someone else.

The only thing worth talking about during this period is that the Suns selected Andre Iguodala with the eighth pick. Louie was still running when Kevin Martin was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 26th overall pick in the first round. No one informed him that it was Celtic's draft time.

Because Tony Allen is still in that position.

After that, everything happened quietly. The Celtics selected Tony Allen with the 27th pick, thus completing their most important work in the draft.

But the Celtics still had a little problem.

When the draft came to an end, the Celtics played again, and they needed to make the 28th pick in the second round. The talent in this draft is so low that there is nothing to say, and Andy Greer mentioned a big name. Then Bird said: Maybe we need to ask the boss for advice.

On the phone, Louie impatiently threw out a more puzzling name: Vassilis Spanoulis—if you don't know who to choose, choose him!

Andy Greer has since remembered one thing.

When everything looks wrong, you can choose a foreign player, not because he is good, but because he is mysterious enough, you can have a dream, maybe he is the next Manu Ginobili?

(1) rakish: This word describes a person who behaves informally, with a slightly unruly style, usually with a certain attractiveness and charm.
