Chapter 1094 No Better Ideas

If the loss to the Heat is a non-war crime, and Zhao Yuanzheng can still throw the blame, then the same-city derby with the Clippers is a pure coaching gap.

The coach of the Clippers is also Jeff Van Gundy, who was born in the Lu family. After losing Olajuwon and Drexler, he was not discouraged.

Or, it should be said that the departure of Dameng and Glider gave Van Gundy the opportunity to show his talent.

Mutombo can be regarded as one of the ten best defensive players in NBA history. Looking at the inside line in history, except for the well-developed O'Neal and Sampson, there is no one he cannot defend.

Van Gundy established Mutombo's core position, supplemented by Barkley's offense, and increased Sprewell's offensive tactical status. The Clippers are like Big Brother Hugh who never left, and have not lost a game so far this season.

Barkley was thrown from Portland to Los Angeles like garbage by Riley, but he didn't lose his fighting spirit.For him, Los Angeles is a better place, except that the Clippers owner is an asshole, and that's the only thing he doesn't like.

To prove himself, Barkley played harder.

As long as he is on the court, no one will doubt Sir Charles' ability. Most of his problems come from off the court, which is also the reason for his disagreement with Riley.

But in the Clippers, Van Gundy knew how to make Barkley work for him.

He knows very well that the Clippers, who have lost their dream, need Barkley to go all out to maintain their previous combat power, so as long as Fliggy can play, he doesn't care how lazy he is off the court or eats a few donuts a day.

When someone asked him that he was not afraid of spoiling Barkley if he indulged so much, Van Gundy pointed to Louie as an example.

"Leader Lu can pamper Dennis Rodman to ensure that Shawn Kemp goes up and lays the groundwork for New York's seven-peat, why can't I?"

Van Gundy proved that he is not a coach who relies on good cards, but facing the Lakers, the Clippers are still at a disadvantage.

However, Zhao Yuanzheng's adaptability is very poor.

When he was an assistant coach, he could give Louis a lot of useful suggestions, but when he was in control, he found that it was not so easy to adjust on the spot.

Barkley broke out, double-team or not?

Sprewell's first step was so fast that even Wilson and Pippen couldn't react. Do we need to increase manpower?

Such and such problems piled up in Zhao Yuanzheng's mind. He had many things to do, but he chose to believe in the players' personal abilities.

Then, the Lakers lost.

Wilson scored 40 points in the air, and the Lakers lost by 4 points.

Scottie Pippen began to complain about someone taking too many shots. "We don't need a player who scores 40 points a game. We need everyone who can score. A concentrated team cannot succeed."

Wilson was furious when he learned the news.

He asked Pippen directly in the locker room: "Do you have a problem with my shot count, Scottie?"

Pippen simply couldn't resist the aura that Wilson had honed around Ewing.

"No."

Pippen denied he was insinuating against Wilson.

This allowed Wilson to further dominate within the team.

Zhao Yuanzheng has received many accusations, and some critics have already begun to imagine the day when Louis takes office.

Since Louis joined the Lakers, people believed that he would become the coach of the Lakers sooner or later.

Because he is still young, it is not time to retire at all.

Therefore, every time Zhao Yuanzheng had a problem, someone called on Louis to come out.

Louie does have plans for a comeback, but not right now.

His theory is incomplete, and his plans for the future are unclear.

Until these things are settled, he will not choose to come back.

And when he solves all these problems, even if the season is not over, it must have gone through most of it.Taking over the team halfway will not lead to good results, so it is a consensus within the team to let Zhao Yuanzheng lead the team to finish the season.

Louie focused more on the 1995 draft.

If he wants to build the team in his heart, the people on the roster are not far away.

It's not like it was in 1985, when Louie was very cautious in drafting for fear of mistakes. Now, the timeline is so close to the era he knows, he has nothing to worry about.

If Louis is given the No. [-] pick next year, he will know who to choose even with his eyes closed.

It's a pity that the Lakers basically missed the No. [-] pick next year.

The 1995 draft was a middling year.

Right now, scouts across the country want to confirm one thing -- will Faragat High's super-talented Kevin Garnett skip college and go straight to the draft?

In Louie's previous life, Garnett was the top five picks in this draft. Now, due to the butterfly effect, if he enters the draft early, his draft price will go straight to the top three.

Garnett is known as Sampson II, and scouts exaggerately describe him as "Danny Manning with all-round upgrades."

What is certain is that as long as he participates in the election, Garnett will be in the top three, but he will not be able to rise to the first pick.

Because it takes a huge risk to choose a high school student player, and this year there is a recognized No. [-] pick, that is Joe Smith of the University of Maryland.

Future fans will be as puzzled by the hype surrounding Smith as Louie is today.

Being recognized as the No. [-] pick in the draft means that he is sure to be selected. He will definitely become a talent and directly change the team that gets him.

But in reality, the Warriors who got Smith won only 3 games in the next three years.

Then, with the title of parallel importer, Smith maintained a good immediate combat power and completed the infamous black-box operation incident with the Timberwolves.

A No. [-] draft pick who made his debut on a bad team, was not troubled by injuries, and even went freely after his contract expired due to age reasons, but didn't make it?

Louie couldn't understand.

Perhaps, decades from now, future fans will be confused by the fact that Andrew Wiggins has not grown into a superstar.

This is the draft. If you don't open your eyes, you can't be foolproof. He always wants water for those who should be watered.

Louie is interested in getting Garnett, even if it takes anyone from Pippen to Robinson.

But it was too difficult.

As long as people know that he is interested in Garnett, it is impossible for him to get Garnett.

As for the rest of this draft class, Louie isn't interested.

The only Jerry Stackhouse who's a bit of a gimmick is a scoring brush, and Louie completely ignores him.Although this person is the only person in the 95th class who may threaten Smith's No. [-] pick, neither of them is a good choice.

Seeing that Louis was frowning, Jim asked, "Sir, are you unhappy because of our poor record recently?"

"Have we had a bad record recently?"

"We have lost 6 of the last 4 games, and the fans have a lot of opinions."

In the last six games, the Lakers' opponents have been the Clippers, Magic, 76ers, Hornets, Jazz, and Suns, and none of them are easy to play.

But it's really too much to lose 4 games, especially the one lost to the Suns.

Yu Tiancan tipped the basket and made the game-winning shot. For the first time, the voice of "We want Leader Lu" sounded in the forum.

Louis raised his feet in boredom, "Jim, if you were given the first pick next year, who would you choose?"

"Do I really have the right to decide this matter?"

"So what if."

"Uh, I watched the Georgetown University game some time ago." Little Bass surprised Louis as soon as he spoke, "I might choose Allen Iverson."

"It's a good choice, I'll let you choose next time."

"Really? Did I choose the right one?"

"exactly."

Still, Louie might prefer to take Wake Forest sophomore center Tim Duncan if that's the option.

Having said that, if you can really get Duncan, don't talk about sending Pippen or Robinson, it's okay to pack these two and post the draft pick instead.

Jim was a fool, he took Louie's words seriously.

"Since I made the right choice, why are you worried? Let's go eat, Sir, a French restaurant has recently opened near the forum, and even my dad is full of praise."

"Okay, let's see if anyone is willing to go with us."

"Ok."

Louie tidied himself up. He has been a little obsessed with the draft recently.

He came to a conclusion that unless he can get Garnett in next year's draft, it can't be regarded as a reinforcement, and it won't help to build the team in his heart.

It was this conclusion that drove him mad.

Because it is difficult for him to supplement the players he wants through next year's draft.

Louis walked out of the office, he didn't want to be urged by that dude every time.

When he passed by West's office, he saw the LOGO man reviewing a game with a serious face through the glass window outside.

Louis knocked on the door.

West doesn't usually say "come in," so just knock on the door as a greeting, and then someone outside can open the door.

Louie walked into West's office and found him watching last night's game.

The Lakers vs. Suns, the game that was tipped for a lore.

"In order to protect the rebound, Zhao replaced Vlad." West was so angry that his mouth was twisted, "Vlad's athletic ability is not enough to help!"

As a result, it was precisely because Divac didn't get stuck on Yu Tiancan that the Chinese giant used his excellent elasticity to burst directly under the basket and make up the ball.

Zhao Yuanzheng's thinking is correct, but the entrustment is not human.

Louie would chalk up such a failure to luck, West wouldn't.

In another ten years, he will remember this game, and even more how the Lakers lost.

"Jerry, do you have a better idea?"

If Louis remembered correctly, Green had already been sent off at the time, and Zhao Yuanzheng didn't even change guards in order to protect the rebounds. Except for the two insiders, the other three players on the Lakers field were forwards.

If you don't go to Divac, you have to go to Polynes, will this change the result?
Louie's problem is the one that hurts West the most.

He shook his head in disappointment: "No, there is no better idea."

⑴ During the Big Dream and Glider period, there were a total of 16 players who could dunk in the University of Houston team, including the draft players and the reserve team. They were called the "Phi Slama Jama" (Phi Slama Jama).
