Chapter 780 On draft day, coach crumbs eat melons online

Chapter 781 Draft day, coach crumbs eat melons online

On June 1991, 6, the NBA Draft will be held in New York City.

Since the 80s, New York has been the holy land of the draft.

But this year will be the last draft held in New York before 2001.

After all, the draft is also a fascinating show, and many cities hope to host it and use it to attract the attention of fans.

This year, the Knicks rarely have any draft picks.

But Louis is still not at ease.

TNT, which will broadcast the entire draft, spent $10 to invite him to conduct an off-site interview before the draft.

Louie chose to be interviewed at home.

In this way, he can wear a suit on top and a pair of shorts on the bottom, because the camera only focuses on his upper body.

TNT has prepared three popular commentators and commentators for this draft.

The commentator is "The Voice of Georgia" Bob Neal, who has been one of the most exciting commentators in sports since 1977.

His partners, one is Doug Collins and the other is Hubie Brown.

Before the draft begins, they have to routinely wrestle.

Collins said a lot of things that have nothing to do with the draft, but emphasized variables. He believes that there will be many transactions during the draft, which is also the fun of the draft.

Hubie Brown's speech was high-powered: "I think this year's draft is the best ever. Any team can get the players they need. If the team with the top five picks needs a center, this draft can provide five high-quality centers. If they need a power forward, they will also be satisfied. Whatever you want, this draft will satisfy you. Even, if you need five guards with top five picks, this draft can do it."

That's Hubby's strength, and why he's more popular as an announcer than a coach.

The bombastic coach is offensive, but the commentator is not.

After that, it was Louie's turn.

Neal let half of the live camera show to Louis who was being interviewed at home: "Coach Lu, how do you evaluate this draft?"

"It was indeed a very attractive draft with a lot of impressive players."

"You traded all of this year's draft picks the day before the draft, which will make you a spectator at the draft. Do you regret that?"

"No." Louie said affirmatively, "The Knicks have enough talents and talents. The more promising rookies, the less they should come to New York, because here, there are only benches waiting for them."

Louie's words showed his confidence in the depth of the Knicks' roster, and Stern stepped up to the stage to announce the No. [-] pick.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, to the loyal fans who came to Madison Square Garden, to the staff of various clubs waiting in front of the television, and to the audience of NBC, TNT and ESPN, and welcome to the 1991 NBA Draft."

In 1991, fans didn't "encourage" Stern with boos.

Stern was greeted with rapturous cheers at MSG because, rumor has it, he was the one who sent Ewing to the Knicks in 1985.

Regardless of whether this incident is true or not, fans will remember it.

Teams with the No. 5 pick have less than five minutes to decide who they want to take.

Louie has learned that the Clippers will follow the age-old tradition of taking the tallest player when faced with a difficult choice.

This is also the characteristic of the 1991 draft.

There are many cornerstones, but none of them is a perfect candidate.

If you want a center forward, pick Mutombo;
If you want a power forward, pick Larry Johnson;
If you want to gamble big, regardless of the huge risks involved, choose Billy Owens, a combination of Byrd and tragedian;

If you want a Jordan-style shooting guard, Steve Smith can meet your needs;
If you want a box-office star who can trick fans into buying tickets, Kenny Anderson is the answer.

The Clippers are a team that wants everything and nothing.

In the absence of quality players at other positions, they want the safest option.

So, they filled Dikembe Mutombo's name with the No. [-] pick this year.

"In the 1991 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected. Dikembe Mutombo from Georgetown University!"

Hubie Brown's review shocked Louie.

"His size gives him an obvious advantage on the court. I like his game very much." Brown said on the national broadcast. "I know he is 25 years old, which does not affect him as a lethal shot-blocker and rebounder. Moreover, he is the best intimidator that Georgetown has produced since Patrick Ewing. As long as he stands on the basket, he can dominate everything. You can't do anything ten feet in front of him. For the Clippers, Dikembe can rewrite They're sluggish on the defensive end, and that's going to be a huge addition. To me, he's the best No. 3 pick."

Brown's introduction to Mutombo's characteristics is basically no problem.

But Louie hated his tone of voice, as if Mutombo's arrival could change the fate of the Clippers.

For now, instead of imagining how Mutombo will be in the Clippers, it is better to pray for him and not get hurt.

The Clippers' team doctor is the real ghost.

Now it's the turn of the Sacramento Kings who are most likely to be revived.

If their management is rational and selects Larry Johnson with their eyes closed, it will be a worthwhile trip.

But it's clear that they've been fascinated by the visible but intangible prospect of Billy Owens.

Billy Owens, he was the only non-insider college player who frequently rang in Louie's ears throughout the late 80s.

The praise of Owens has reached a level that Louis can't believe.

Scouts touted him as follows:
Athletic genius with a tragedian's sense of the game but more agility, excellent ball-handling ability, ability to dribble at any level, find teammates and dominate the game.He can play like a tragedian, but at the same time has the technical characteristics of Larry Bird.This is a doomed star of tomorrow, he's the 'next'.

Wonderful, if Louis hadn't gone to beat Little K, it is estimated that Owens would not be sure whether Owens was the chosen one who was influenced by the butterfly effect.

It is said that he is an athletic genius, but his physical fitness may be a little better than Bird.It is said that he has a sense of game like a tragic master, and Louis does not object. His golf quotient is indeed high, but he is more agile?This scout is either blind, or he just took money.Ability to dribble at any level In fact, Brad Rohaus also has the ability to dribble at any level, isn't it just dribbling?Who wouldn't, but he can't play point guard, and Owens can't play point guard.Can a tall ball-handler who can't play point guard use the tragic master as a template?

In the end, saying that he is like Bird is the most unbearable sentence for Louis.

A person without long-range shooting ability, saying that his technical characteristics are like Bird?

The Kings lived up to expectations and selected Billy Owens with the second pick in the first round, which was neither an upset nor an upset.

It is unpopular, because Owens is not a safe choice. He has a high upper limit and a lower limit. Mutombo and Larry Johnson are the safest choices.

No one expected that not only the king likes to work hard, but Owens is also a master with his eyes above the top. From the bottom of his heart, he feels that places like Sacramento are not worthy of being saved. Even if he is the Jesus of basketball, he has to go to a place with dreams to bear the cross. Sacramento must never go.

So although he was smiling on the surface, he had already figured out how to get through this calamity in his heart.

It was precisely because he had this strange idea that after the draft, everything was messed up.

The blind Kings made the Hornets cheaper, and they took the No. [-] pick Larry Johnson with the third overall pick.

With the fourth overall pick, the Timberwolves honestly selected talented guard Kenny Anderson.

Then, it's the turn of today's highlight.

The only team Louie pays attention to-the Boston Celtics, they trade Thomas for the fifth pick, who will they choose?

Although there was an accident in the front, the team behind was not a fool, and everyone who should be selected was selected.

The rest, including Michigan State's Steve Smith, are lottery tickets.

From the perspective of personnel structure, the Celtics need to add three positions.

Point guard, Thomas was traded and a starter came out directly; at the second position, John Lang was old, and after Angie and Harper left the team, they always wanted Reggie Lewis to fill that position, but he was more threatening at the third position, and then there was a three-to-four swing that could help Bird share the pressure.

If Anderson and Owens or Larry Johnson can drop one, the Celtics won't bother.

Now, they can only choose the one that seems safest.

The Celtics took Steve Smith.

Louie thought the draft day was over.

Others are not worthy of attention, but the drama of the draft day began after this. That scene, called a group of demons dancing, is an insult to the word "possessed".
