The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 38: Fitch calls, reconnaissance mission

From January to February, Louis is always out on business.

He had more and more scouting reports on his hands, and also discovered Rick Mahon, a well-known bully.

However, he knew that Ma Hong was able to gain a foothold in the NBA because of his bodyguard attributes, so he didn't care too much.

Ma Hong is not a star, just a basketball leader who can fight. The Celtics don't need this number at the moment, so he doesn't pay too much attention to Ma Hong.

In early February, last-era star Pete Maravich became a free agent.

Both the Celtics and the Sixers wanted to recruit him.

Because of the relationship between the Maravich family and Bill Fitch, the pistol chose Boston.

As a result, the Celtics bolstered their backline and looked likely to take the championship by leaps and bounds.

Louis still has a surplus of funds, so he continues to run around outside.

Auerbach often called to inquire about the progress, and Luiz would tell him the players he observed and the players he focused on.

This time, Auerbach asked him to see Kevin McHale of the University of Minnesota and Joe Barry Carroll of Purdue University.

Hearing McHale's name, Louis was in high spirits.

He certainly knew it was a key player in the Celtics' splendid '80s with Bird.

But McHale, unlike the guys on his roster, played at a poor school and was out of the media spotlight, just like Andrew Toney.

Therefore, if the Celtics want to select him, they will never choose the No. 1 pick.

Louie just walked away and headed straight for Minnesota.

The University of Minnesota is going to play Edward University, which Louis had observed before.

There are a lot of NBA prospects in the two teams, but Minnesota's record can only be regarded as middle and upper, and Edward University is similar.

At first glance at McHale, Louie noticed his exaggerated arms.

too long!

Then there's his defense, the agility to follow the 3 and a good sense of defense.

Louis began to have a little impression of this piecemeal history.

He remembered that McHale was drafted by another team, and Auerbach made a beautiful trade and formed the strongest frontcourt lineup in history.

But now the Celtics have Laimbeer, but unfortunately he can't be reused by Fitch.

Will this make them misjudge Ranbir's strength?

If they form the familiar Big Three again, Lambir's development will most likely be suppressed or even traded.

That's what Louis didn't want to see.

The so-called transmigrators, what to do once in a new life, if they can resume the work of the previous life, they will of course do better than before.

More importantly, to change something.

Anyway, in the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s, he didn't know much about superstars such as Jordan and Bird, so what if it changed history?

Thinking of this, he began to wonder how the Celtics could use this year's draft pick to make a big difference.

In addition to McHale, he also took a look at this year's prospective No. 1 pick, Purdue University center Joe Barry Carroll.

If Sampson stayed at school and didn't run, Carroll would have been the most prominent player in the 1980 draft.

He may not be the most powerful, but he is definitely the most talented.

Louie didn't expect the feeling of the game he was familiar with in Carroll.

From an inside point of view, he's pretty good.

There is no problem with the height and arm length, and the movement is fast and fast.

Any 7-footer with excellent athletic ability is a treasure.

Louis wants to invite Zhou Qi out again.

In the past, every time I invited Zhou Qi out, it was a bit rigid, but this time, it was very suitable.

Several fans know that before Zhou Qi participated in the draft, professional scouts in the United States set his development template as Carroll?

I have to say that American scouts are very professional. At least in the game that Louis watched, Carroll's strengths and weaknesses are just like Zhou Qi's.

They all have high talent, and belong to talented players with a high book limit.

Not to mention the good, but to say the bad.

Carroll, like Zhou Qi, has a lazy attitude to the game and often forgets the card position, just because the talent is good enough. In the NCAA (CBA), few people can match them, so even with bad card position habits, rebounding The number will not be less.

This kind of bad habit in the NBA will be ravaged by the black and tough people who use rebounding as a source of income.

He didn't work hard enough, or, in other words, he didn't have the heart of the so-called "persistent for the ball" by the famous Japanese high school coach Shigeruichi Tianoka.

When the offense isn't there, he's invisible, paddling, and disappearing from the court.

Seeing him, Louis seemed to see a dark-skinned Zhou Qi.

But Hei Zhouqi is very likely to be elected as the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft four months later. After 36 years, the original Zhou Qi fell to the second round. Although it means being discriminated against by Yankees no matter how you think about it, it is not just discrimination. In terms of talent alone, Zhou Qi is worth the lottery, but at that time it happened that Zhou Qi's age was revealed, and his agent Even foolishly said "my client's ID is clearly written" - he doesn't think Yankee believes his ID?

Seeing Carol~www.readwn.com~ made Louis think of many things before the time traveled.

It has been more than a year since he came, and he has become accustomed to his current life.

It can be said that his career has started smoothly, and as long as he follows his own plan step by step, the height in the future will definitely be much higher than before crossing.

It's just a pity that he will never see his former family and friends again. In order to help Louis realize his dream, he had a quarrel with Li Xuanbing, really...

"Headache."

Louie finished Carroll's scouting report with 10 minutes left in the second half.

He didn't look any further, packed up and left.

These prospective champions, Auerbach and Fitch will be there to watch the game in person, and they will have their own conclusions when the time comes, and Louie's scouting report is just an additional reference. So Louie doesn't need to bother with this scouting report, he's sure Fitch and Auerbach don't look down on Carroll's virtue.

From the beginning of January to the present, it has been February 12, and Louis is thinking about returning to Boston.

Just as I was about to buy a plane ticket, I got a call from Fitch.

In a few days, the Celtics are going to play in Portland, and Fitch wants Louie to scout ahead of time.

This is really inexplicable. The Blazers are not the team that won the championship a few years ago. Is it necessary to scout?

But he was the head coach, and Louis had no choice, so he had to go and book a flight to Portland.

In the past month and a half, he has been exhausted by boats and cars. He has no time to rest. Fortunately, he is only 19 years old, and he can afford it. It is estimated that it will not work after a few decades... Thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad, this ghost life will be decades away. ?

However, if he has not been promoted for decades, it is definitely a problem of ability.
