The Rest, Only Noise

Louie's suggestion was adopted by the American Basketball Association.

Subsequently, the American Basketball Association announced the selection method for the last place, but many people expressed dissatisfaction.

The one who reacted the most was Clyde Drexler. The reason for his dissatisfaction was very simple. All the other players were directly selected into the Dream Team. Why did they have to compete when they came to him?

To this end, Drexler said: "If I have to compete with other people to join the Dream Team, I would rather not join."

Stockton was delighted to hear about Drexler's thoughts, and he had 19 points and 27 assists in a game against the Dallas Mavericks in early March.

27 assists in a single game is not only Stockton's single-game assist record, but also a single-game assist record in league history (1).

⑴ Butterfly effect so that Skiles' record is gone.

Some of the players on the roster, like Drexler, only accept being drafted directly into the Dream Team, rather than competing to win the final spot.

As long as Drexler withdraws from the competition, the rest of the players are actually about the same, it all depends on who the team needs.

In Louie's view, the biggest threat to Stockton on this list, in addition to Glider, is Scottie Pippen.

In Louie's previous life, Pippen was the starting Five Tigers hand-picked by Chuck Daly and was one of the first to be selected for the Dream Team.

But in this world, Pippen faces no small competition, and he didn't make a fortune next to Jordan or the tragedy.

Fans only know that he has strength, but they don't know to what extent this "strength" is.

If a ball handler is needed, Pippen is one of the best candidates.

In the international arena, his ability to handle the ball is completely sufficient, and he has the ability to defend from the 1st to the 5th.

Compared to Drexler, he's like an all-around wing with a weaker offense but a stronger ball-handling and defense.

Compared with Stockton, the advantage is unknown.

If Pippen is willing to come to the training team and compete with Stockton, Louie is really not sure that Stockton can compete with him.

In addition to Pippen, there is another person who has made it clear that he will join the training team to compete for the last spot.

That's Pistons guard Joe Dumars.

This is also a player Louie believes could be a threat to Stockton.

In terms of hard power, both Pippen and Dumars are stronger players than Stockton, but the Dream Team now has top talent in various positions, so the final spot is more inclined to functional players.

Stockton's playmaking ability happens to be the best of these guys, so he also has an advantage in the competition.

The future of the Dream Team is basically certain, and now the only thing left is the basketball association to announce that the tragic player will be allowed to go to Barcelona with the team, plus the lucky guy who can represent college basketball and join the Dream Team.

March 7

The Knicks' away game against the Charlotte Hornets, Isiah Thomas and Stockton's duel is a lot of attention.

No. 3 overall pick Larry Johnson expressed displeasure that the Dream Team didn't include him as a candidate.

Disgruntled, he used all his energy to blow Rodman up against the Knicks.

Rodman's defense is already very good, but Johnson is a sturdy 4 who can shoot and dribble, and a player with all kinds of back-playing skills. As long as he plays in form, no one can limit it.

In addition to the Hornets' perimeter Dale Ellis, Thomas also has a clear advantage against Stockton.

The Knicks suffered their seventh loss of the season.

The Hornets also have problems inside.

The young players didn't accept Thomas' leadership, and Thomas didn't quell the team's domineering, and Dale Ellis, a ruthless pitcher that no one looked down on.

After the game, Ellis, who won the game and scored the team's highest score, admitted to the New York media: "I'm not happy even if I win, this is not the way I like to win."

As a shooter, Ellis made 22 shots per game and averaged 26 points per game. He was recognized as the league's top scorer and one of the New York media's favorite visiting team players. He made great contributions to the Knicks' first championship in the Louis era.

Hearing him say that, many wished he could return to New York.

But this kind of thing is destined to only think about it. The Knicks and Ellis are both on the rise, but the end of each other is different.

Ellis wanted to be the best shooter of his generation, and the Knicks wanted to be the dominant team that spanned the '80s and '90s.

In order to gain a foothold on the Dream Team, Stockton suddenly had a need for data.

He's a point guard, and if you want to brush up on stats, it's actually not difficult.

The difficulty is how to meet your own data needs without affecting the performance of your teammates.

From the rules of the game, it is almost impossible.

There are so many data for each game, you get a point, I get a point, and the real strong teams know how to share the cake.

The Knicks have also had a rigorous division of the data before.

Wilson has the most points, Ewing has the second most points and rebounds, Rodman has the most rebounds, Stockton has the most assists, Miller 15-17 points per game, the rest goes to Kemp Headed by the bench bandits.

If Stockton wants to brush more, someone has to give up some data.

Rodman only needs rebounds, and the rebounding data is useless to Stockton, so Rodman does not need to sacrifice.

Miller was supposed to pick up the ball left by the inner and outer core, so he shouldn't make sacrifices for it.

Then only Wilson and Ewing can make sacrifices.

Stockton didn't ask them, and Louie didn't ask them to reduce the ball, but after realizing that Stockton wanted to brush the stats, they spontaneously reduced their shots, creating a statistic for Stockton. favorable conditions.

In March, Wilson and Ewing averaged six fewer shots per game.

Stockton is averaging three more shots per game and two more assists per game.

Is this a coincidence?

Throughout March, Stockton averaged 15 points, 15 assists and 3.4 steals per game, winning the league's Player of the Month for the first time in his career.

In an era when the best of the month is not divided between the East and the West, winning the best of the month is completely enough to say that you are the best player in the league that month.

Stockton has always paid no attention to false names, and this time, in order to change other people's opinions, it can be considered that he has done his best.

With a team with less depth, his score could go up.

In early April, the controversy over which college player to join the Dream Team to Barcelona also came to an end.

In fact, in the beginning, the college basketball representative on the selection committee had a 6:6 mix of college and professional players on the Dream Team. But the proposal was quickly dismissed, and the number of college players was shrunk from six to four, to two, to one.

There is only one spot left, which is still a consolation prize for college basketball.

This year, college basketball is full of talent, but only four really qualified for a Dream Team spot: Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Chris Webber and Christian Laettner.

However, even geniuses like Shaquille O'Neal and Mourning, and astonishing talents like Weber, would be hard to compete with Laettner.

Scouts think O'Neal, Mourning and Webber have much higher future ceilings than Laettner, but the criteria for getting into the Dream Team isn't who they're more promising in the future.

This is a question that is entirely focused on the moment.

Laettner was arguably the greatest college player since Pat Ewing, and the talent of O'Neal and Mourning brought part of the controversy, but that controversy ended on March 28.

In the NCAA Eastern Conference finals, the winning side will enter the final four, with 2.1 seconds before the end of the game, the University of Kentucky leads Duke University by 1 point 103-102. The ball that decided Duke's future and fate was handed over to Laettner. Grant Hill passed a quarter-point long pass from the backcourt that was recorded in the history of college basketball, reaching Laettner at the free throw line in the frontcourt.

Louie, as the coach of the Dream Team, went to the scene to watch the game.

Laettner's image was different from the handsome and elegant white man he remembered.

He wanted to see a superhuman prince, but instead Laettner presented him with a Bill Ranbir-esque demon.

When he received Hill's long pass, he made a fake turn to the right, then turned to the left and made a lore at the buzzer. It can be seen that the Kentuckians at the scene were mad at the ball, because Laettner did all kinds of evil on the field, elbowing his opponent in the face, beating his opponent in the stomach, and even deliberately stepping on his opponent's foot when he fell to the ground. head.

He is the devil.

This demon played impeccably in this game~www.readwn.com~ The audience made 20 shots, including 9 shots and 10 free throws, including the last lore, all hits.

With a 100% hit rate, the images of God and Satan appear in one person at the same time.

"Laettner impressed me," Louie told reporters after watching the unrivaled game. "It reminds me of the 1973 NCAA Finals."

It's an astonishing contrast.

In the 1973 NCAA Finals, Bill Walton had a near miss with 44 points.

On whether Laettner will be selected for the Dream Team, Louie smiled: "The decision is not up to me, but if I had a choice, before tonight, I might choose Chris Webber or Shaquille O'Neal, But after this game, I thought, if there's only one guy in college basketball that makes the Dream Team, it's Laettner."

There is no obstacle to Laettner's selection. After tonight, except for the only one remaining professional player spot, the dream team has basically been formed.
