The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 652 I suspect you are yin and yang, but there is no evidence

For someone who doesn't follow Hank Gaithers, he's already famous.

Louis had heard his name many times.

One thing's for sure, he's the most exciting college basketball player in the country.

Born in Rosentown, North Philadelphia, and raised in a slum full of poverty and uniqueness, he, like many NBA players in poor living conditions, did not allow himself to get out of the mud.

Hank has a very close relationship with his mom and brother Derek, and starting in eighth grade, he began to find his purpose in life through basketball.

He became a national sensation in high school and was followed by scouts every game.

He is also a winning person. After entering the University of Southern California as a freshman, due to the poor record of the team, he took the risk of sitting on the custodianship for a year and transferred to Loyola Marymount University (Marymount University/hereinafter referred to as LMU). Former NBA champion coach Paul Westhead played.

After the Lakers' positional warfare experiment failed, Westhead implemented a run-and-gun system called "The System" in college.

Twenty years later, Mike D'Antoni's "seven seconds or less" run and home in the NBA is considered revolutionary. But Westhead's goal is to get his players to shoot in five seconds or less.

Before Gaithers arrived, Westhead nearly lost his job.

In the former's year on the pitch, LMU only managed 12 wins, proving once again that "The System" doesn't work.

The LMU had a 2-3 start the season Gaithers qualified, and Westhead told the players to never play "The System" again if they lost their next game. After that, they won 25 games.

LMU is suddenly the fastest and most exciting team in college basketball. They didn't lose again until the second round of March Madness, when they faced North Carolina, which had a Hall of Fame coach and six future NBA players.

Then came this season, where Gaithers averaged 33.7 points and 13.7 rebounds.

The LMU team is averaging 112.5 points per game, more than 10 points higher than the second-highest scoring team (Oklahoma) and nearly 40 points higher than the league average.

That's why Gaithers leads the league in scoring and rebounding.

He is very strong, but the reason why he is strong enough to be the second player in history is because LMU is running and banging.

A good run can keep everyone entertained and improve their stats.

Louie is convinced that LeBron James can easily average a triple-double per game if he leads a run-and-gun team.

Louie took a serious look at Gaithers' masterpiece last December against the University of Nevada - 49 points and 22 rebounds in a single game.

In this game, Louie was stunned by Gaithers.

When Danny Manning came out, scouts called it a "new concept."

Because Sampson played from the 1 to the 5 in college is an exaggeration, but Manning really can play from the 3 to the 5.

Scouts have never seen such a player.

Gaithers is also a new concept for Louis.

First of all, he has a very powerful back-body skills, he can hook with his left and right hands, he has a strong inner turn with heavy shoulders and a bottom line, and he turns left and right behind his shoulders. combination.

His post attack skill pack is very complete, but it's rarely used because LMU's offense system is "5 seconds or less."

The registered height is 6-foot-7, but this is the data from high school. Judging from the video, it should be 6-foot-8 or 6-foot-9.

He shoots very well, and it's because of that hand that he's so comfortable in Westhead's "five seconds or less" system.

On the defensive end, the one-on-one defense looks average, but the help defense is pretty good.

As far as the video of this game is concerned, Louie saw an S-class seedling of a lower limit All-Star.

Gaithers is a big man with great mobility and can play in any system.

You need him to play the core, he can go to the low post to show his various low-post offense; you want him to be the king of the ball to make way for the core with the ball, he can also use shooting, pick-and-roll cuts, alleys and other ways to eat show you.

Because he didn't play the offensive core in LMU, Louie can't judge his strength as the offensive core.

However, if he is the second-in-command, he is a perfect player.

As for his physical quality that was praised by Zhao Yuanzheng, Louis has not seen more in this game.

But no matter how you look at it, Gaithers is a rare and good seedling. Perhaps Zhao Yuanzheng should improve the rating of this draft.

Louis thought for a long time before finding a suitable template for Gaithers.

A full version of Stoudemire?

Watching the video, there is no hope for his ability to handle the ball to play as a small forward, and he will have great potential to play honestly at the 4 position.

Now Louie has only one question left.

Why hasn't he heard of this person?

Even if he gets a bad habit and gets rid of it, at least he has to make a noise, right?

Just like Louie, although he doesn't know what happened to Kemp after the finals in 1996, he at least knows that he was later traded to the Cavaliers, grew in shape during the league's shutdown in 1999, and can compete with Huo Yingying in terms of the number of illegitimate children. is a real hero.

What's wrong with Hank Gaithers?

Louie's judgment on Gaithers is the same as that of Zhao Yuanzheng - the lower limit All-Star.

In the case of Benjamin Wilson, Louie couldn't say that the people he knew were all the talents of this generation.

So, because of him, Wilson wasn't killed on the streets of Chicago, and because of whom did Gaithers get away with, or was it because he wasn't doomed?

Louis gave up his exploration of Gaithers, and he would definitely not get an answer for the time being.

On June 22, 5 days before this year's draft, Louis invited a group of players to come for trial training.

Like Sean Kemp, Byron Irving, Sherman Douglas, Jeff Martin... generally players with late first-round and early second-round prospects.

Louie originally wanted to invite Gaithers to try out, but his agent didn't come because he thought the Knicks were too under-drafted and not worthy of his employer.

Apart from Kemp, several other players are not impressive.

In order to test Kemp's ability, Louie also called in Stevens, Brad Rohos and Danny Ainge to participate in tryouts.

There are still many problems with Kemp. Because he has not gone to college, many of his skills are still in the rough stage. Even the extremely accurate shooting in Louis' impression is completely absent.

But every goal he scored in the Blue Palace showed his talent.

Louie's concern for him was not his potential, but his inner problems.

Zhao Yuanzheng said that he was a soul catcher who could control Camp's heart.

But he doesn't have the ability to read minds. The Knicks already have Rodman's dark thunder, and another Camp? Co-authored him to become the director of a mental hospital?

In Louie's experience, if you have only one problem player on your team, like Cedric Maxwell in 1984, or Dale Ellis in previous years, and Luo who may wake up at any time in the future. Deman, then, the coaches have a lot of ways to restrain him and control him.

What if there are two problem players?

Suppressed by means of thunder? This is really thinking too much. The Zen master used Rodman in the correct way. Indulge him properly, let him play, make trouble, ride the horse and gallop, and then tighten the chain if necessary. He also knows that he is playing a big game. It will close its heart and play a life-threatening game.

But if there are two problem characters, can this method still work?

That is absolutely impossible, because if you discipline one, he will feel that there is another person who is worse than him, so why should he be the only one. There is no absolute standard for indulgence, you are either strict or lenient.

At this moment, Kemp knocked over Stevens and slammed into Tomjanovich stunned, his breathing accelerated, and his expression was excited, as if he had been brought to an **** by the mouth.

When he pointed this disgusting look at Louis, Louis saw the following words on his face:

choose him! Choose him for me! If you don't choose him, you are an incompetent president!

Kemp was so excited, he ran to Louis and asked, "Coach, isn't my dunk bubble bright?"

Does she speak with an accent?

"If you deduct one more, I will choose you." Louis laughed.

"Really?"

"Really, Sean~www.readwn.com~ You can go and inquire, look at the league, who doesn't know that our New York coach is a loyal person!" Brad Rohos's words may be sincere, But Louis suspects that he is a little yin and yang, just because he has no evidence in his hands.

Otherwise, I'll trade this damned idiot for offering sacrifices to the heavens today!

(1) Let me explain what happened to Gaithers, who has the same heart problem as Reggie Lewis. After finding out the problem, the doctor allowed him to continue playing, but he must take medicine on time. But after taking the medicine, he felt that the medicine had affected his competitive level, and he was often lethargic during competitions and training, so he reduced the amount of medicine he took. Unlike Lewis, the former fell on the training ground, and then He didn't get up either, and Gaithers collapsed and died during a nationally televised game.

This footnote is to remind some people of unknown circumstances that Gaithers is not a fictional character. In reality, he was still at LMU in 1990, but in the book, because Louie let the league issue a standard rookie contract in advance, in order to make money, Gaithers Sri Lanka signed up early for the draft. Will he still die? of course not. Unlike Byas's kind of poisonous dog, I hope he will have a wonderful career in this book.

Also, please be careful not to completely combine the characters in the text with reality. For these geniuses who have room for imagination, I will take them for granted as perfect forms. Such as Benj, such as Gaithers.
