The Rest, Only Noise

Sampson was nominally coming to New York for the event on behalf of Converse, but after the event, he came to Louie's house.

Louis originally thought that the person who reacted the most was Lu Wuxia, but he did not expect it to be Wang Zhizhi.

Shy and shy by nature, Wang Zhizhi is no different from a groupie in front of Sampson.

Louis could fully understand Wang Zhizhi's reaction.

Just as centers in the 1960s were synonymous with Chamberlain and Russell, in the 1970s it was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and in the 1980s, there were plenty of names worth mentioning.

Abdul-Jabbar, Malone, Ewing, Olajuwon, Robinson, or, Sampson.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has a bad temper, Malone's heyday is a little short, Olajuwon has struggled for too long in a bad team, Robinson has never won anything, and Ewing is not good enough.

For all interior players who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, if you were to ask them who their goals were, they might give different answers based on their technical characteristics.

But to say who is their idol, the standard answer is Sampson.

Bob Cousy said Bird came to this world to bring new metrics to basketball skills.

And George McCann, the first superstar in professional basketball history, said: "The existence of Ralph Sampson has made basketball infinite possible."

From 1984 to 1993, Sampson was the undisputed No. 1 center in the league in hard power.

He was in his prime for so long that it had far-reaching consequences.

When Wang Zhizhi saw him calling his idol, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

"Young man, I'll give you an autograph, and I'll give you a jersey if you need it, but it won't be until after we have dinner." Sampson said casually, "You are the China Coach Lu often mentions. The genius boy, right?"

After the excitement, Wang Zhizhi finally calmed down.

Hearing such a compliment, he was instinctively shy: "I'm not a genius."

"Humble, Xiaozhi, you are definitely a talented player." Louie couldn't help touting his children in front of Sampson, "Ralph, he is your type of inside player, and he will definitely be in the NBA in the future. Make a name for yourself."

Hearing this, Sampson gave Wang Zhizhi an "I'm optimistic about you" look: "I look forward to playing against you on the court."

Louie brought Sampson to the field.

Wang Zhizhi and Lu Wuxia also followed.

Sampson proposed a 2v2 half-time match.

Louie is a little embarrassed, because he may be the worst one on the field. After all, he can't use his physique to confront his son, right?

If he didn't give Lu Wuxia a little confrontation, he probably wouldn't be this kid's opponent.

However, Sampson is not serious, just play.

But Wang Zhizhi was very serious. When he faced Sampson with the ball, he almost regarded the matchup between the two as the last round of the state championship game.

Wang Zhizhi had a dexterity that Louis had never seen in any other seven-footer in China.

It is also a pity for many that his development did not meet expectations.

Sampson may have only raised two points of attention, and then was thrown off by Wang Zhizhi's beautiful Sikma step.

Perhaps it is Wang Zhizhi's beautiful inside pace that aroused Sampson's fighting spirit.

At the moment of being shaken, Sampson immediately let Wang Zhizhi know what NBA-level restricted area dominance is.

As soon as Wang Zhizhi's ball left his hand, Sampson, who was clearly swayed by him, returned to his position with a thunderous momentum and sent a big nail plate cap.

"Ralph, aren't you too serious?" Louie said in surprise.

Sampson shrugged; "Young man, if you just chose to dunk, you're done."

"What if I insist on not dunking?" Wang Zhizhi asked seriously.

Sampson is still that easy-going, but what he said gives people a murderous feeling: "I dare not say it to others, but if I come to guard you, you can shoot 100 times, and I can block 100. Second-rate."

Wang Zhizhi never wanted to be blocked 100 times by Sampson in this way.

He frowned and said, "I won't put baskets anymore."

Sampson said with relief: "That's right, nothing can boost the morale of teammates more than dunking. We should be proud of dunking inside!"

"No matter how beautiful a dunk is, it's only worth 2 points, and every shot I make here is worth 3 points." Lu Wuxia jumped.

Louie felt he had to let the kid know that competition on the basketball court was sinister.

When he was about to play the role of ** and give his son a shocking education class, he found that his lateral movement speed was too slow to keep up with the flawless.

In this 2V2 confrontation, Louis has no experience, because he is the worst one on the field.

Fortunately, Sampson was strong enough, scoring 11 points alone, and finally defeated Wang Zhizhi and Lu Wuxia with an 11-7 advantage with Louis.

"Continue to work hard, young man, you fell down without any effort from me."

Coach Lu has always been okay.

"Dad, you didn't even score!" Lu Wuxia said.

"Doesn't that make you less powerful?" Louis said arrogantly, "You will lose like this even before I score. If I start to score, I really don't dare to think about it."

"It's not fair, if I were teammates with Ralph, I would have won too!"

"Wuxia, do you want to team up with an opponent who is stronger than you on the court in the future?" Louis laughed, "I don't recommend you do this."

"That's right, I don't want to team up with Ralph!" Lu Wuxia's thoughts changed quickly, "Wait until next year, Brother Wang and I will be able to defeat you both."

Louie wasn't naive enough to argue with a brat.

He and Sampson looked at each other and walked to the side in tacit understanding.

Lu Wuxia and Wang Zhizhi stayed on the court to shoot freely.

"Coach, Mike looks very talented." Sampson's words are not compliments.

Lu Wuxia is 10 years old and has grown to 1.62 meters in height recently. He is like a giant among his peers, but he is very skilled in movement control and has no dead ends in his left and right hands.

"Do you think he can play professional basketball?" Louie asked.

Sampson wasn't sure: "We'll have to wait a few more years to find out."

"I think so too, but he really likes to play basketball, you know, he can spend a whole day in the gym." Louie sighed, "He's the most obsessed basketball player I've ever met. ."

Sampson couldn't help saying: "I was able to spend a whole day in the gym when I was young. At that time, I always felt that I had a lot of energy. Now I can't. I have to lie on the physiotherapy machine and get a massage every night. I really feel like I'm getting old."

Sampson's remarks were obviously modest.

After being mentored by Kareem, he ensured his competitive status through yoga and a series of complementary regimens.

There's a good chance he'll keep his prime as long as Abdul-Jabbar.

"I don't think it's time for you to age." Louie smiled. "You can be the core of a championship team."

Sampson maintained a calm demeanor and suddenly asked, "Coach, which championship team do you think I can be the core of?"

Please put the picture in this chapter.

Louie knew that Sampson had come to him to discuss something, and he could probably guess the decision about which team he joined.

"Ralph, before I answer your question, I want to know, do you want my advice, or just want to hear my opinion?"

"I want to."

"Then you should tell me which teams are your favorites, and I'll help you analyze them one by one."

Sampson immediately said: "Portland, Golden State, Miami."

"Portland?" Louie was taken aback.

Sampson laughed, "Yes."

"Where did they come from?"

Louie still underestimated the energy of the agent team behind the player.

Sampson replied: "Before I left Boston, Reed and Dave promised me that if I had trouble signing, Boston would be willing to help me join my favorite team as a sign-and-exchange party."

"Reed is so kind? It's okay to let you go for nothing, and there is a delivery service?"

Louis doesn't believe that Auerbach has changed for the better~www.readwn.com~ If Garvet suddenly clears his mind, he probably won't agree.

Seeing that Louis couldn't understand, Sampson explained: "This is the promise they gave me when I stayed in the team last year."

Louis' pupils shrank.

"promise?"

"Well," Sampson said, "I was hesitant to stay on the team last year. Dave asked Reed to come forward and convince me to stay. They want to try again. If Boston is not competitive under my leadership. , then let me go, they will help me settle Boston's public opinion, and in return, when I need to sign a team to join a certain team, Boston is willing to help."

That is, in theory, Sampson could join any team?

Good way!

However, this is also due to Sampson's good relationship with the Celtics, and no one cared about his opinion when the unlucky Isiah Thomas was traded.

The news from Sampson surprised Louie, and in this way, Sampson is really the biggest variable in the offseason.

He can make any team that already has the foundation for a title contender instantly become a title contender.

"Coach, I need your advice." Sampson looked at Louie. "Which team do you think is better for me to join?"
