The Rest, Only Noise

"Grant Hill was a winner and it was incredible for New York basketball in its heyday to get such a player!"

"Look at his stats (Hill's mugshot and college stats on screen), so comprehensive, he's a genius like Penny Hardaway!"

Hubie Brown sees Hill as a core player who can make others better.

Collins' description is a bit general. He said that Hill was a functional player who specialized in defense and scored by rotating and counterattacking in his junior year. In his senior year, he developed a jumper and could play a role in high-level games. point guard.

In the Blue Palace draft war room, only Buford and Baylor were excited.

Louis sat there, thinking back to Hill's performance as a member of the Dream Team sparring team in 1992.

As a traveler, when he began to understand basketball, Hill had already passed his prime.

So he didn't know what level Hill was.

But when people talk about talents ruined by injuries, Hill and Pence are like a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes, always appearing in the mouths of fans.

Judging by Hill's college game, he has exceptional athleticism and elite-level static talent.

This is the standard for an all-round striker.

But he's going to replace Wilson, and Louie isn't sure if Hill lives up to fans' expectations.

Also, how much tolerance can the Knicks have on Hill, the seven-time defending champion?

Louie isn't sure, but it's Baylor and Buford who should have this headache by then, and he should have started over somewhere.

The team with the fourth overall pick is the Timberwolves.

People were more concerned about whether they would actually move to New Orleans than who they chose.

There are few professional sports teams that haven't elicited a backlash after news of a move emerged.

But Minnesotans want them out of the city soon.

Jerry Krause still hopes to make the most correct decision, this year without Louie to interfere with his sight, after multiple tests, he decided to choose Juwan Howard.

"Lafonso Ellis is close to bankruptcy, can Juwan Howard bring about change?"

That's a question from someone in the Knicks' draft war room.

Louie isn't interested in playing with Klaus lately because he has a lot to do himself.

And a small center with mediocre physique like Howard is not destined to be the cornerstone that can change the plight of weak teams.

He can only take care of himself, put up good numbers, ask for a big contract, and let the team continue to rot.

The Milwaukee Bucks selected Donyel Marshall with the fifth overall pick, modeled after Clifford Robinson.

The Eagles selected SharhtC, the "Legacy Pearl" in Zhao Yuanzheng's eyes with the sixth pick.

"Look, this guy is at least an All-Star in the future."

TNT aired White's college highlights.

White feels like a bigger Dwight Howard, barely threatening out of the paint, but a threatening presence as long as he's in the paint.

Zhao Yuanzheng compared him to O'Neal, but he obviously didn't have the latter's ability to destroy an area.

"As long as you don't get hurt."

Louis also feels that as long as the player develops steadily and does not get injured, he should be able to reach the All-Star.

However, as we all know, it is very difficult for a player like this to rely heavily on his body not to get injured.

It is worth mentioning that this draft is a big year for the striker.

Various styles of small forwards, power forwards, and centers can be dazzling, but this is obviously not good for the Suns with the seventh overall pick and the Kings with the eighth overall pick.

Their frontcourt is saturated and needs good guards.

The Suns selected Eddie Jones with the seventh overall pick in the first round.

The Kings took Lamond Murray SF with the eighth overall pick in the first round.

After the Kings had drafted, Louie asked inexplicably, "Why didn't they choose Jaylen Rose, but another small forward?"

Baylor guesses: "Maybe because Jaylen Rose isn't worth the eighth pick?"

"Can't it be traded? They obviously need Jaylen Rose more."

Louie's head went down.

Some things can't be thought about carefully, and it's okay to think clearly. If you think about it clearly, doesn't it mean that he is on the same level as those managements who have problems with their brains?

Brutalist power forward Brian Grant PF was drafted by the New Jersey Nets.

North Carolina center Eric Montrose was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks.

Then came the 11th pick in the first round.

Liu Yuqing, a senior guard selected by the Atlanta Hawks.

"It was an unusual choice to pick Liu with Carlos Rodgers and Jaylen Ross still there!" said Hubie Brown, "Last year, Liu even had a top-eight draft, but he decided Returning for a fourth season only to suffer a meniscus injury that took him off the court for a full year, we don't know if he's fully recovered now. If he's still as good as he was, I'm sure Atlanta will get it Well done, Liu is a tall, modern 2..."

In New York, Baylor asked Louie, "Is this the child you sponsored too?"

"To be exact, it was my school in China that sponsored him to study abroad."

The moment Liu Yuqing was selected was probably the happiest moment for Louis today.

At the same time, he also wished other Chinese players good luck in the draft.

In addition to Liu Yuqing, there are 14 Chinese players participating in this draft, but only a handful of them can be selected.

Liu Yuqing was wearing a red suit today, witnessing this important moment in life with him, as well as his parents who made a special trip to the United States, and the girlfriend he was acquainted with, who was white.

This child can be said to be grown up by Louis, but he did not know that Liu Yuqing had a white girlfriend.

Unlike other selected players, Liu Yuqing did not embrace his parents warmly, and he was not used to showing such enthusiasm.

Instead, his girlfriend took the initiative to kiss him.

His parents can be seen a little embarrassed and uncomfortable with their son and girlfriend publicly engaging in such an intimate act.

But this is also a small episode. The wonderful thing is what happened after Liu Yuqing came to power.

He may be the first rookie in history who doesn't want to hug Stern.

In the end, Stern took the initiative to hug him.

Seeing Liu Yuqing's "don't come here" facial expression, Louis couldn't stop laughing.

"Liu is too nervous, he acts as if the president is a leper."

"I think the president must be hurt."

Afterwards, Liu Yuqing, like everyone who was selected, walked up to Greg Seg for an interview.

"As a former All-American guard, how much do you think four years of college helped you grow."

Seg's smile can put everyone at ease.

By the way, except for Liu Yuqing.

"It's huge."

Liu Yuqing's voice and mouth movements were so small that people were not sure if he had spoken.

"Uh..." Seg took that as an answer, and asked the next question, "How did you recover from a meniscus injury?"

"Listen to the doctor."

This time SEG can be sure that it is Liu Yuqing's voice.

But... can you say a few more words?

Keeping a smile has become very difficult for Seg, he has to ask Liu Yuqing four questions, and this is the second one.

"So...then what do you know about Atlanta?"

"do not know much."

At the moment, everyone in the Knicks draft war room laughed like they were watching a comedy.

"Did he do it on purpose?" Baylor asked. "Or is he just like that?"

"Trust me, he usually does." Louis smiled helplessly.

Buford said with a smile: "Liu's way of speaking is the same as the way he plays, and it's not sloppy at all. I think... If he can strengthen his communication with his teammates, he will definitely bring surprises to the team."

Louie believed that Buford had something to say to him.

Because Louis attaches great importance to Liu Yuqing's development.

But Louis was very useful, he nodded and said, "I also often tell him to communicate more."

After that, it was Miami's turn to operate.

Lewis Shafir asks Louis which players are worth watching every year.

But this year, apart from those popular players that the Heat can't select, Louis can only recommend Jaylen Rose to Shaffield. His only impression of this person is that he was scored 81 points by Kobe Bryant.

However, as a member of the 1994 draft class, he played in the league until 2006, indicating that he is at least an average player.

Shafir traded Vernon Maxwell and this year's second-round pick, got the 12th pick in the first round from San Antonio and selected Jaylen Rose.

So far, the 1994 draft is basically clear, and the only thing Louis cares about is whether other Chinese players in the draft can be selected.

Result~www.readwn.com~ Two other US-based players from the Road Academy were selected in the second round.

One is Kang Chengbiao, who was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the 6th overall pick in the second round, and the other is Wu Qi, who was selected by the Sonics with the 21st overall pick in the second round.

Both of them came from the third period in the United States, and Louis was deeply impressed when he saw them for the first time in China.

Counting last year's Chu Nan and Du Shuai, there are ten people in the United States in the third phase. Eight people have participated in the election, and four have been selected, and the success rate has exceeded the first phase.

After the draft, Louie called them one by one to congratulate them.

Next, Louis has to focus on his own business.

He still has a lot of uncertainty about the future.

The only certainty is that his future is not in New York.

At the end of June, Louie represented the Knicks at the championship celebration on Ninth Avenue in Madison.

It was his last major event as Knicks president representing the team.

Many wondered if he would stay, but he did not respond to the rumours that were flying around.

He left this passage to New York fans who love him: "When I came here, I thought I would be successful, but when I look back and look at everything, the Knicks have become a A towering tree that even I need to look up to."
