Chapter 220 The person with the future

Chapter 219 A Man with a Future
April 4, Seattle, Kingdom Arena (The Kingdome).

This is a dome-style multi-purpose stadium, and it is the home of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners respectively.

When a basketball game is held, the Kingdom can accommodate 40000 spectators.

Louis and Auerbach came to the scene together, and they saw many colleagues.

The general manager of the Bulls, the head coach of the Clippers, and the general manager of the Trail Blazers. As long as there is a manager-level figure, it is not difficult to guess the situation of their team.

Both teams competing tonight have a tank savior, the kind that can be rebuilt on the spot.

Louie noticed that the Georgetown players were wearing off-white jerseys, and the inside players all added a sweat shirt under the jersey.

Louis asked, "Isn't this against the rules?"

Auerbach shook his head: "There is no violation in the NCAA."

"It seems that those teams that have a chance to get Patrick should find a way to suggest that the league allow players to build undershirts." Louis seemed to be joking, but it was not a joke.

Some clothes are a habit. If you don't wear them like this, you will feel weird during the game, and it will take a while to get used to them.

Auerbach snorted softly: "According to what you said, anyone who has no chance of getting him should object?"

"You can't say that. Undershirts are not casual. If this policy is passed, we can use him to get some sponsorship." Louis said whimsically.

Then, the game began.

In addition to Ewing and Olajuwon, there are many people in the two teams who also have NBA prospects.

Therefore, although this is a big test for two future super centers, it is also an upgrade field for other players with NBA status.

If you can play a wonderful performance on this big stage, the value is better than 10 good performances in the regular season.

Houston won the opening possession, and the essence of Georgetown's defense was immediately visible.

Five white people surrounded the paint area to block water, which was a real joint defense.

The NCAA does not have as many restrictions as the NBA, and defensive and offensive tactics are more careful.

Georgetown relied on Ewing's monster defensive dominance to create the most aggressive defense ever.

Louis saw wolfishness in the faces of these young people.

"John turned these kids into a pack of wolves." Auerbach laughed.

Louis believes that Georgetown's defense can be more bloody, and the opening defense is to test Houston's shooting touch.If they cast correctly, it is estimated that the legendary "killing press" is coming.

If Houston misses the shot, they have little chance of winning.

Georgetown has great advantages. The players have all the talent, immediate combat power, mentality and experience. The only thing they lack is the NCAA champion.After getting Ewing, they entered the finals for the second time in three years. Last time they only lost one hand to Jordan. This time, can Houston stop them?

Houston's commander, two-meter-tall shooting guard Reed Getty, pulled to the weakside for a jumper.

Next, Louie saw Ewing keep asking for the ball, but his teammates didn't give it.

John Thompson was Bill Russell's backup, he knew how Russell won, so he used the same method to develop Ewing.

However, Ewing is obviously more offensively talented than Russell.

Fortunately, Georgetown's outside firepower is not lacking, and they returned a three-pointer.

"Obviously there is no attack time limit, but the rhythm is not slow." Louis laughed, "I think I will like this game."

The zone defense is a defense with a higher fault tolerance rate. Unfortunately, the University of Houston felt very good tonight.

They scored 7 goals in a row and led Georgetown 14-6.

In NCAA basketball with unlimited shot clock, an eight-point lead isn't as mundane as it is in the NBA.

If there were a few minutes left in this game, Louis was sure they would see a group of people dribbling the ball around and just not attacking.

This is a fatal injury to the enjoyment of the game.

Georgetown's zone defense didn't work, so Thompson called a timeout.

"It's time for real," Auerbach said with a well-known fact.

When Georgetown played Kentucky in the semifinals -- 1984 Kentucky had never lost in a Final Four -- the talented Kentucky team had two big men with lottery prospects.George Town's bloody defense in that game, which often injured the leader of the press, Gene Smith SG/PG, was the reason for their caution in the final.

A group of wolf cubs suddenly went to play zone defense, so naturally it would not be effective.

Back from the timeout, Georgetown's brutal defense returned to the game.

Louie has been watching Ewing and Olajuwon match up.

Olajuwon had no chance to perform because of his teammates' frequent peripheral shots.Ewing's offensive status is not as good as that of Olajuwon, and he has no chance. They are in the stage of mutual testing.

However, Ewing has already exposed many faults to Louis.

His positioning, Louis is not exaggerating at all-Ewing's positioning reminds him of Zhou Qi who just joined the CBA. After seeing the opponent's shot, he doesn't have that kind of "I can't fucking let you get this ball" consciousness.

It is often when Olajuwon or others meet him that he thinks of getting stuck.

This habit, in the NCAA, he can use his talent to solve the problem. When he went to the NBA, with his body coveted by the whole league, although he is not able to average 1 rebound per game like Zhou Qi in the Olympics, he will definitely not be satisfactory on the rebound.

"Is this an insider who has been in college for three years?"

Louis cursed out.

"Is there no fucking inside coach at Georgetown University?"

Auerbach also saw the problem, and had to explain to his disciples: "Patrick's main task in Georgetown is to clean up the penalty area. In terms of rebounding, his teammates can provide enough help."

Louie sneered: "Well, I hope he has teammates who can help him after he enters the NBA."

Originally, Louis was still an old-fashioned person. He hoped that the players would play in school for a few more years, so that they could come to the league after they had a solid foundation.

However, Ewing is an example of wasting youth in the wrong school.

An insider who has been in college for three years and has the air of a top pick, his card position awareness is so amateurish that he is comparable to Zhou Qi. Doesn't he work hard?Does he have Zhou Qi's symptoms of being in a trance and lacking fighting spirit as long as he has nothing to do?Is he not physically strong?No, you definitely don't hear Ewing has this problem.

Ewing had the will and drive to improve himself, a reputation for sacrificing everything to win, and a competitive guy.

It is impossible for such a person not to want to improve his shortcomings.

But in the NCAA, the coach is everything.

Ewing didn't know how high the NBA sky was, and the media praised him too much.

No matter how humble he is, when everyone says he will dominate the next era, will he still prepare for the NBA with the greatest expectations and vigilance?No, he would follow Thompson's orders and do whatever the other side wanted him to do.

It has been three years, except that Ewing has become stronger physically, and other aspects are almost the same as the North Carolina and their finals that Louis watched two years ago.

He barely made any progress.

"John Thompson, you are fucking committing a crime!" Louis scolded Auerbach directly without giving Auerbach any face.

In the minds of future fans, Ewing is a strong-looking, orangutan-like, seemingly iron-blooded but likes to shoot jumpers like a bunny, a center textbook center with thick knee pads on both legs.

But what version of Ewing did Louis see?

He has the perfect size for a center, has a strong body, and has the athleticism and quickness to play the [-] in the NBA. This is a great prospect.

Louis from the future has seen many perfections in the rough.

DeAndre Ayton, whose stature is close to Chamberlain's and whose jumping ability is comparable to Chamberlain's, is doomed to fail to realize his terrifying potential due to his soft personality.

But a person like Ewing has the character and talent of a superstar, but he doesn't have a college coach who can guide him to become a superstar.And he's been playing under this coach for three years, and probably the fourth.

"Lu, John is the head coach. He will definitely take care of Patrick, but he still has a lot to deal with." Auerbach also knew that Ewing's development was far below expectations, but he couldn't speak ill of his disciple in front of outsiders.

Seeing this level of talent being wasted for three years, Louis was inexplicably angry.

He thought of Zhou Qi again.

With a height of 216 cm, athletic ability and coordination at the level of 200 cm, and a wingspan of 233 cm, he was born as a guard and shot accurately.But in the CBA, there is no professional guidance and training, no accurate positioning, and no one knows how to train him. Even the possession of the ball is taken away by super foreign players beyond the league level. XJ only needs to use his talent to build a defensive system.

Louis watched with his own eyes the chosen son who heard his "slander" and left his hometown to come to XJ. He learned from Durant and Antetokounmpo for a while, and was used by Li Qiuping as a half Yao Huang (defensive end) envoy.

Wrong positioning, chaotic development plan, and not knowing how to train his team and head coach, let fans see Zhou Qi in the 2016 Olympics and 2019 World Cup.

He probably only realized 10% of his talent.

Seeing Ewing on the field, Louis touched the memory of his previous life.

He was so angry that he made excuses to go to the toilet and left in the middle of the first half.

If it is said that Zhou Qi's failure to become a talent is due to external reasons and his own reasons are half to half, then Ewing's current situation is completely a man-made disaster.

Stupid John Thompson, CNMLGLSB!

Louis and Ewing are not related, and his anger at this time is the anger of seeing someone destroying a person with a bright future.

And this kind of anger just happened to resonate with Louis' previous life experience.

After watching the 2019 World Cup in the current world, Louis, like the national audience, was overwhelmed by Zhou Qi's last-minute performance against Poland.

But after Louis got angry, he blamed himself.

Zhou Qi shouldn't be like this, if he hadn't lobbied him and his family back then, and hadn't brought him from Liaoning to XJ.

So, on a team that desperately needs to stand up inside, on a team with the best guards in the country, will he get better under the hands of a few local coaches who brought him up since childhood?
Louis never wanted to think about it, but after seeing Ewing struggling at the beginning, he couldn't help but think a lot.
