The Rest, Only Noise

Louis returned to the hotel and habitually pressed the phone to see if there was a voicemail.

Unexpectedly there is.

"Louis, I watched tonight's game and it was great. I have a few questions for you about the draft. If you have time, please call me back."

Larry Weinberg took the initiative to message himself, and Louie was surprised.

This event once again proved the value of mobile phones.

If you have a mobile phone, you don't have to be so troublesome to get in touch.

Louie also owes Weinberg a favor.

If it weren't for the face of this outspoken real estate developer, with Lorraine's incomparable grades, even if he reported for ten years, New York University would not necessarily be selected.

This favor is extraordinary.

Because Lorraine was accepted to New York University, her family let her come to the United States.

If he is not admitted, Louis will have to maintain this long-distance relationship that separates the two places.

Although there are many ways to sharpen iron, he prefers to remove rust in a non-moral, formal, and safe way.

From this point of view, Weinberg gave Lorraine a good future and solved his nightlife by the way.

If you look at it this way, the favor Louis owes is boundless.

Louie called Weinberg immediately.

After a while, the phone went through.

"Littlelu, it's not easy to wait for your call." Weinberg's voice sounded like he hadn't slept yet.

Louis was very direct: "Mr. Weinberg, feel free to ask if you have anything. I will tell you what I know, and if I don't know, I will inform you after I understand it."

"It's actually very simple. I want to know what can be made in next year's draft." Weinberg laughed. "People around me say that picking any player next year can make the team reborn."

Although it is uncertain who will enter the draft next year, Weinberg's words are not correct when you think about it.

"It is indeed possible."

If you don't open your eyes, next year's draft may gather the most outstanding talented players in history.

The first is those few talented junior supernovas.

Olajuwon of the University of Houston, Ewing of Georgetown, Jordan of North Carolina, Barkley of Auburn University, Chris Mullin of St. John's University.

Two sophomore supernovas, Wayman Tisdale (waymantisdalec/pf) and Benoit Benjaminc.

After Ralph Sampson opted for the first time in the draft after his freshman year, many talented players are no longer attached to three or four years of college.

Once this concept is broken, it can lead to surprising effects.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Olajuwon and Ewing, two unearthed emperors, appeared in the 1984 draft at the same time.

If Ewing also ran for the election, it means that Louis really caused many variables to persuade Sampson to run in advance.

At this moment, Louis is very cautious about Weinberg's question.

"If it were you, who would you choose?" Weinberg asked.

If Louis had to choose, of course he would choose Jordan, an unquestionable option. But why recommend Jordan if you are recommending it to others? Is it fun to send a goat to someone's arms? The Blazers are already a playoff team, and with Jordan and the soon-to-be-taken Drexler, it is very likely that they will grow into another super team in the short term.

It's about how Louie is going to repay Weinberg.

Although he is very scheming and cunning, he is a man of gratitude.

Weinberg helped him so much, and now that they're at a pivotal point in history, he should help this team out of trouble.

Even if the Blazers with Jordan could cause him big trouble in the future.

Do things, but be worthy of your heart, and he really doesn't believe that Jordan and Drexler are better than Pippen...

"If it were me, I would choose the person I want based on the needs of the team. Therefore, I think the key point should be, Mr. Weinberg, what kind of player do you want to choose?"

Weinberg said with a light smile: "Actually, it's not me. It's the management who decides this. I only have the right to make suggestions."

"My advice doesn't matter if you only have the right to suggest, because no matter who I suggest you pick, Mr. Inman will end up taking home only one center." Louie purposely piqued Weinberg's interest.

Weinberg was a gentle rich man who listened to his opinions and respected professionals.

But he is no different from other businessmen in the mall, and he is ruthless.

He could hear Louis's words, and this was deliberately seducing him. The problem is that Louie doesn't plan to do business with him, it's a mutual help between friends.

"If I am willing to interfere in the internal affairs of the team as the owner, what should I do?" Weinberg asked patiently.

"I say that again, it depends on what kind of player you want."

"How to say?"

Louie said confidently: "If you want a core insider, I have three suggestions, Akim Olajuwon of Houston, Patrick Ewing of Georgetown and Charles Barkley of Auburn. "

"If you want a point guard, I'd recommend Gonzaga's Alvin Robertson."

"If you want an attacking guard, I have only one." Louie believes Weinberg can conclude from his tone, "North Carolina's Michael Jordan."

The only thing Louis kept was John Stockton. On the one hand, Gonzaga at this time is not the basketball powerhouse of the future. In the d1 league, Gonzaga has no popularity, and Stockton has no draft prospects. Such a good seedling that is easy to pick up should be kept for yourself.

"What about Chris Mullin of St. John's University?" Weinberg asked.

"If you don't get Jordan, Mullin is also good, but they are much worse." Louie affirmed, "Jordan will become the new generation of Dr. J, and he is more aggressive than Dr. J. In the age of cable TV, This means more attention and exposure, and perhaps his commercial value will be countless times that of Dr. J."

If it's just how strong Jordan is, Weinberg may not be too concerned.

Now, when it comes to the business value he might create, Weinberg is suddenly interested.

Louie could feel he was changing history once the Blazers made another choice, say, Jordan not going to Chicago. Then all the history he knew about the 90s, all the stories about how Jordan became a goat, would be gone, gone.

He's excited to be able to change history, and he knows he's doing something that seriously offends the Blazers front office and coaching staff.

Once they know that he secretly suggested to Weinberg, he will directly lose the friendship with the Portland management, and the friendly connection he has just established with Ramsay will be cut off.

In diplomatic terms, Louis is grossly interfering in the internal affairs of the pioneers.

Louie and Weinberg were on the phone for more than half an hour.

He said that Weinberg was very excited and said that he would study hard when he went back.

This year is the Olympic year. The Olympic Games will be held in Los Angeles. The US team will gather all the elites of the ncaa to participate in the competition. At that time, young talents headed by Jordan will join the selection team, and their exposure will be amazingly improved.

It stands to reason that a player of Jordan's level was observed by scouts when the Olympic selection team and training were open. It was impossible for the scouts to fail to see his strength, but the Blazers still missed it.

Are insiders really that attractive?

Louis couldn't understand.

The next day, news broke that Louis and Byrd were at odds.

It's a lot more news than the Maxwell trade.

Louie's media friends contacted him one after another, wanting to know the situation.

Louie's answer disappointed them, there was no so-called infighting at all, just that he and Bird bickered in front of the media.

However, the media on the West Coast of the United States rushed forward like sharks smelling blood.

They took Bird and Louie arguing and imagined Bird as a cocky white guy (fact), disrespectful to coach, arrogant **** (fact) who did more than a magician drive away the coach and Teammates are even more extreme. A mentally ill person cannot become a talent no matter how powerful he is.

"Obviously, in so many ways, Larry Bird doesn't deserve to be a legend. He's absolutely overrated."

In places where professionals can't see it, the CBS executives and the league office have noticed that the rivalry between the Lakers and the Celtics is the only promotional tool the NBA can use to promote it.

Bird's and the magician's skin colors are just two extremes.

Once the machine of public opinion starts to operate, its power is unimaginable.

The California-based media on the West Coast, led by ~www.readwn.com~, began to disparage Bird, saying he was overrated.

This is something that the East Coast media also does a lot, and they preached that magicians were overrated years ago.

Another result of the media's public opinion is the confrontation of extreme skin color supremacy.

Whites spontaneously side with Bird, blacks spontaneously side with Magic, just like the media did before the 1979 ncaa national finals.

Color and racial discrimination are among the most sensitive red lines in this country.

Since the 1980s, racial confrontation is no longer as frequent as it used to be, as if the racial problem in the United States disappeared in just a few years.

The debate between Bird and the Magician, the argument that black and white duo is overrated, and the phenomenon that blacks and whites spontaneously choose skin color and devalue each other, profoundly proves that those who advocate that racism has disappeared in the United States have bubbles in their heads.
