The Rest, Only Noise

In the restaurant, McMahon offered to exchange Ralph Sampson's scouting report with Louie.

Louis did not want to exchange, not afraid or worried, but thought it was not worth it.

McMahon is certainly one of the best scouts in the world, but he, like the current scouts, omits as much space as he can, and what Louie says in those few lines can be imagined with his eyes closed.

How can it be compared with his "heart blood"?

"Do it?"

"No?" McMahon said incredulously. "You know how many people want to exchange scouting reports with me?"

As far as Louie knew, McMahon was the man who pioneered the private sale of scouting reports for extra money.

From McMahon onwards, more and more scouts with low morals and low quality betray the interests of the team just for that little money.

"Is your scouting report still in exchange? Didn't they all buy it from you?" Louis laughed.

"Bad boy! Do you think your scouting report is very valuable?" McMahon said resentfully.

Louis said modestly: "Jin Gui is hard to say, but it is definitely worth more than yours. If you want to exchange with me, I will definitely not agree unless you invite me to dinner."

McMahon originally wanted to change if he could, after all, Louie wrote most of the time in his eyes. Who normally writes scouting reports like this?

His curiosity is getting heavier and heavier, and he would have chosen a cheaper restaurant if he knew that.

Judging from the appearance of this kid, he wouldn't obediently hand over the report if he didn't take advantage of him today.

"Okay, I'll treat you!" McMahon said as savagely as cutting flesh.

"I'm so happy!" Louie handed over the notebook, "I just want to ask Uncle Jack to see what's wrong with my scouting report."

"Stinky boy!"

McMahon read the next chapter first, and he was stunned.

A game is full of ten pages, where is this scouting report? This is clearly a shorthand for the game!

Louie recorded every shot Sampson took, every defense, every shot he hit.

The summary begins on the last page.

McMahon began to scrutinize, and Louie glanced briefly at the other's report.

The result was exactly what he expected, and despite the touted passages, McMahon's analysis and outlook for Sampson came as no surprise.

"Unquestioned star potential."

"It is necessary to step up and polish the basic skills of the inside line."

"You need to gain at least 30 pounds (13 kilograms)."

McMahon thinks that Sampson is not a real insider, this statement hits the nail on the head. Not only does Sampson not look like an insider, but he is also a bit like a 2.2 meter guard.

With the cognition of today's professionals, it is natural to want him to be an insider with outside skills.

This is not surprising at all.

It was McMahon, who looked solemnly at Louie's scouting report.

Louie had already eaten, and he was still reading, especially the last page.

After a long time, he returned the notebook to Louis.

"I don't know if you're crazy or you gave me a fake one," McMahon said in disbelief. "If that's what you say about Ralph, then you're the only one in America who doesn't think he's optimistic about his future. scout!"

Louie explained: "You misunderstood me... I'm not optimistic, I'm just pessimistic about his future."

"This is already seriously undervalued!" With McMahon's perception, it was difficult for him to agree with Louis' idea.

As everyone said, Sampson is not a thing in the pool. As long as he is polished in the university for a few years, he will become a dragon after entering the alliance and will surely devour everything.

This is where Louis and their views differ.

He was unshakably determined that if Sampson stayed in Virginia for three to four years like everyone else, he would be dead.

"That's exactly how I feel about him." Louie laughed.

"If you dare put this report in front of Reed, I'm sure he'll crumple it up and burn a cigar!" McMahon predicted.

This doesn't bother Uncle Jack anymore.

Louis said, "Maybe."

After dinner, they went back to their respective hotels.

Louie called the NC State classmate who helped him get tickets, and he asked him to come to his hotel room for a drink tonight.

The reason why Louis never forgets her has nothing to do with desire.

He wanted to get the videotape of tonight's game, but he was leaving tomorrow, so he could only sell his hue and a small amount of money to let her find it for him.

Of course, after talking about business, he will naturally talk about romance, and then go to bed for double repair.

The next day, Louis went to Kentucky.

What he's going to watch today is University of Louisville ace Darrell Griffiths.

He has a well-known nickname "Dr. Lei".

From what Louie observed, he was undoubtedly the most powerful defender in the class of 1980, with a strong ball-handling ability—really tough, a quick first move and a daring hand-to-hand combat.

This person is quite famous in the NCAA, and is praised by everyone in the scouts. He is a solid top three choice.

The only thing that prevented him from ascending to the top spot was the old adage "When everyone's situation is similar, let's choose an insider".

But this old admonition is typically unsatisfactory.

When the rookies are about the same, choose an insider, what if the outsider is stronger than the insider? There is no doubt that the inside line is still selected; what if the outside line is much stronger than the inside line? A large part of the team will still choose the insider after careful consideration.

In addition to breaking through fiercely and playing hard, Griffith also has a mid-to-long-range shot that impresses Louie.

Judging by his confidence in his shooting, and his shooting movements, he should be able to adapt to the three-point line.

This trip was a worthwhile trip. In addition to Griffith, Louie also wrote a scouting report on his teammate, Derek SmithSG, who also has NBA potential.

Louisville is also a team with no seniors. The starting height is the same as that of North Carolina State, which is 2.01 meters.

But their combat power, depth of rotation, athleticism and enthusiasm for rebounding are unmatched by North Carolina State.

The difference here is the difference in the competitiveness of the two teams.

Although the NCAA adheres to the rules of the game, there are too many teams, and the coaches with supreme authority can create their own system as they wish while ensuring the record.

This makes many teams look like they are led by passers-by, each one is very unrestrained, and the ball is rampant.

There are also unspeakable hardships. Before the influx of young talents from all over the world to the NCAA, schools could only recruit talents from the United States. Even if the United States is a basketball kingdom, there are not so many seniors to support colleges and universities, so talented seniors are scarce.

Even as the baby boomers grow up and all walks of life in the U.S. usher in an explosion of talent, the situation hasn’t changed much.

All new attempts are a last resort.

In addition to Ralph Sampson and other popular freshmen, as well as possible juniors, Louie has another purpose: to find a good guard.

The backline is definitely a weak point for the Celtics.

No disrespect to Archibald, but if he's still on the line, the Celtics won't be able to fight back against any top guard.

Especially considering their lack of athleticism on the wings and an old, slow and tender interior.

Originally choosing a Cheeks would solve all the problems, but the dream was shattered by the former boss before it even started. No, his old man didn't take Bird's signing rights away by the way, the Celtics should be grateful to Dade, where can they complain more.

Ronnie Lester PG was Louie's next observation.

He played for Edward University, UU reading www. uukanshu.com On game day, Louie spotted "Smart" Lincoln, the Lakers' chief scout, and Blazers general manager Stu Inman. Although this guy has poor eyesight, he always does things by himself and likes to watch the game on the spot.

Louis and Lincoln exchanged a bit.

Judging from the reaction of the other party, it seems that Leicester is not his favorite candidate.

"He doesn't have the game intuition like Maggie's." His words really gave Louie the illusion of understanding.

The genius of a magician, he said that 15 years are too few at first sight, and he still wants to find a second one?

"Dr. Big Thunder in Louisville is good." Louis smiled, "I recommend you to visit him."

"Dr. Lei is fine with everything," Lincoln said gruffly, "just expensive."

In this draft, the Lakers do not have a high-ranking pick, and they must go the way of trading in the early part of the first round. That's why Lincoln has his sights set on these mid-first-rounders.

Louie's view of Leicester was the same as Lincoln's.

But his scouting report was less cryptic than Lincoln's.

very direct.

"Small and skinny, not like a 21-year-old player."

"There is a problem with breakthrough options, and the explosiveness is insufficient."

"The shooting ability is worrying, and the shooting hand is a huge hidden danger."

"Not worth picking."

This kind of mediocre thing, he always writes down simply and neatly, and is extremely vicious, as if the other party has a grudge against him.

However, another professional at the scene, Inman, the general manager of the Blazers, was fascinated. Obviously, he has a different appreciation for Leicester than Louis and Lincoln.

Louie and Inman knew each other, and he said hello as he was about to leave.
