the rest, only noise

Chapter 1070 Coach, I need your advice

Sampson nominally represented Converse in New York for an event, but after the event, he came to Louie's house.

Louis originally thought that the person who reacted most violently was Lu Wuxia, but he didn't expect it to be Wang Zhizhi.

Naturally shy and easily shy, Wang Zhizhi is no different from a groupie in front of Sampson.

Louis could fully understand Wang Zhizhi's reaction.

Just as the pronouns of centers in the 60s were Chamberlain and Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 70s, and in the 80s, there are many names worth mentioning.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Malone, Ewing, Olajuwon, Robinson, or, Sampson.

Abdul-Jabbar's temper is too bad, Malone's heyday is a little short, Olajuwon has struggled for too long on a bad team, Robinson has never won anything, and Ewing is not good enough.

For all the inside players who grew up in the 80s and 90s, if you want to ask them who is their target, the answer may be different according to their own technical characteristics.

But if you want to say who is their idol, the standard answer is Sampson.

Bob Cousy said that Bird came into this world to bring new indicators to basketball technology.

And George McCann, the first superstar in the history of professional basketball, said: "The existence of Ralph Sampson has given basketball infinite possibilities."

From 1984 to 1993, Sampson was the undisputed No. [-] center in the league in terms of hard power.

His peak period is so long, enough to have a profound impact.

Seeing him calling his idol directly, Wang Zhizhi was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

"Young man, I'll give you an autograph, and I'll give you a jersey if you need it, but it won't be until after we have dinner together." Sampson said casually, "Is that the Chinese prodigy that Coach Lu often mentioned?"

After the excitement, Wang Zhizhi finally calmed down.

Hearing such a compliment, he was instinctively shy: "I'm not a genius."

"Be humble, Xiao Zhi, you are definitely a talented player." Louis couldn't help but brag about his child in front of Sampson, "Ralph, he is your type of inside player, and he will definitely make a name for himself in the NBA in the future."

Hearing this, Sampson gave Wang Zhizhi a "I like you" look: "I look forward to playing against you on the court."

Louie brought Sampson to the field.

Wang Zhizhi and Lu Wuxia also followed.

Sampson proposed to play a 2V2 half-court game.

Louis was a little embarrassed, because he might be the worst one on the court. After all, he couldn't use his physique to confront his son, could he?
If Lu Wuxia didn't give him a little confrontation, he probably wouldn't be this kid's opponent.

However, Sampson didn't take it seriously either, just for fun.

But Wang Zhizhi was very serious. When he faced Sampson with the ball, he almost regarded the matchup between the two as the last round of the state championship game.

Wang Zhizhi possesses agility that Louis has never seen in other seven-footers in China.

It is also a pity in many people's hearts that his development failed to meet expectations.

Sampson may have only raised his attention for two points, and then he was thrown away by Wang Zhizhi's beautiful sikma step.

Perhaps it was Wang Zhizhi's beautiful inside pace that aroused Sampson's fighting spirit.

At the moment of being passed by, Sampson immediately let Wang Zhizhi know what NBA-level dominance in the restricted area is.

As soon as Wang Zhizhi's ball left his hand, Sampson, who was obviously shaken by him, returned with a thunderous momentum and sent a nail-biting cap.

"Ralph, are you taking it too seriously?" Louis said in surprise.

Sampson shrugged; "Young man, if you just chose to dunk, you succeeded."

"What if I insist on not dunking?" Wang Zhizhi asked seriously.

Sampson is still easy-going, but what he said gives people a sense of murderous intent: "I dare not say it to others, but if I come to defend you, if you take 100 shots, I can block 100 times."

Wang Zhizhi never wants to be blocked 100 times by Sampson in this way.

He frowned and said, "I won't put the basket any more."

Sampson said with relief: "That's right. Nothing can increase the morale of teammates more than dunks. We should be proud of dunks inside!"

"No matter how beautiful a dunk is, it's only worth 2 points. Any random shot I make here is worth 3 points." Lu Wuxia jumped very fast.

Louie felt he had to let the kid know that competition on the basketball court was sinister.

When he was about to play the ghost father and give his son a shocking education class, he found that his lateral movement speed was too slow to keep up with Wuxia.

Louis didn't have any experience in this 2V2 confrontation, because he was the worst one on the field.

Fortunately, Sampson was strong enough and scored 11 points alone. In the end, he and Louis defeated Wang Zhizhi and Lu Wuxia with an advantage of 11 to 7.

"Keep working hard, young man, you fell down without even exerting any strength."

Coach Lu has always been able to fake Huwei.

"Dad, you didn't even score!" Lu Wuxia said.

"Doesn't this make it more obvious that you are not strong enough?" Louis said arrogantly, "You lost like this before I even scored. If I start scoring, I really dare not think about it."

"It's not fair, if I were teammates with Ralph, I would win too!"

"Wuxia, do you want to form a team with an opponent who is stronger than you on the court in the future?" Louis smiled, "I don't recommend you to do this."

"That's right, I don't want to form a team with Ralph!" Lu Wuxia changed his mind quickly, "Wait until next year, Brother Wang and I will be able to defeat you."

Louie wasn't naive enough to argue with a brat.

He met Sampson's eyes, walked to the side and sat down tacitly.

Lu Wuxia and Wang Zhizhi stayed on the court to shoot freely.

"Coach, little Mike looks very talented." Sampson's words were not compliments.

Lu Wuxia is only 10 years old, and he has grown to 1 meters tall recently. He is like a giant among his peers, but his movement control skills are very skilled, and there are no dead ends with his left and right hands.

"Do you think he can play professional basketball?" Louie asked.

Sampson isn't sure: "We'll have to wait a few more years to find out."

"That's what I thought, but he really loves to play basketball, you know, he can spend a whole day in the gym," Louie sighed. "He's the most obsessed guy I've ever met."

Sampson couldn't help saying: "When I was young, I could stay in the gym all day. At that time, I always felt that I had endless energy. Now I can't. I have to lie on the physiotherapy machine every night for a massage. I really feel that I am old."

Sampson's remarks were clearly modest.

After receiving Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's guidance, he ensured his competitive state through yoga and a series of supporting health training.

There's a good chance he'll last as long as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

"I don't think you've reached the point where you need to age." Louis laughed. "You can be a core figure in a championship team."

Sampson maintained a calm demeanor, and suddenly asked: "Coach, which championship team do you think I can play as a core figure?"

Please write the picture in this chapter.

Louis knew that Sampson must have come to him to discuss something, and he could probably guess that it was the decision about which team he would join.

"Ralph, before I answer your question, I want to know, do you want my advice, or just my opinion?"

"I want to."

"Then you should tell me which teams you like, and I will help you analyze them one by one."

Sampson then said: "Portland, Golden State, Miami."

"Portland?" Louie was taken aback.

Sampson laughed, "Yes."

"Where did they get the space?"

Louis still underestimated the energy of the agent team behind the players.

Sampson replied: "Before I left Boston, Reed and Dave promised me that if I encountered difficulties in signing, Boston would be willing to help me join the team of my choice as a signing and swapping party."

"Is Reed so kind? It's fine to let you go for nothing, and it also comes with a delivery service?"

Louie didn't believe Auerbach had changed for the better.

If Gavitt suddenly cleared his mind, he probably wouldn't agree.

Seeing that Louis couldn't understand, Sampson explained: "This is the promise they gave me when I stayed with the team last year."

Louis' pupils shrank.

"promise?"

"Well." Sampson said, "I was hesitant about staying with the team last year. Dave asked Reed to persuade me to stay. They wanted to try again. If Boston is not competitive under my leadership, then let me leave. They will help me settle Boston's public opinion. In return, Boston is willing to help when I need to sign to join a certain team."

In other words, in theory, Sampson can join any team?
Good way!

However, this is also due to the good relationship between Sampson and the Celtics. When the unlucky guy like Isiah Thomas was traded, no one cared about his opinion.

The news from Sampson surprised Louis very much. In this way, Sampson is really the biggest variable in the offseason.

He can turn any team that already has the foundation for the championship into a favorite in an instant.

"Coach, I need your advice." Sampson looked at Louis, "Which team do you think is better for me to join?"
