Chapter 872 Super Super Huge Huge Accident

Chapter 873 Super Super Huge Huge Accident
While Louie and Ewing were arguing over Mourning's strength, NBC's Bob Neal also found the right angle to brag about Mourning.

"Alonzo Mourning played for a very good team in college like Kareem Jabbar, Artis Gilmore, Bill Walton, Patrick Ewing. Compared to Georgetown, Shaquille O'Neal's LSU never made the National Final Four. Gentlemen, do you think that's the most positive aspect of Alonzo's comparison to Shaquille?"

"I do not think so."

Hubie Brown is outspoken.

"No one can say no to O'Neal in this draft, he's a dominant force, but Mourning is also a force, just not as big as Shaquille. When you talk about Mourning, you know he was a great high school player (triple-double blocks per game) and had four successful years in Georgetown. If you need rebounds and blocks, he can give you rebounds and blocks. He feels good behind the basket. That's what differentiates him from Patrick as the core of the Georgetown offense. I like Mourning , because he's going to do in Philadelphia what he did in Georgetown, and he's going to put professional basketball back in Pennsylvania."

At this time, the well-known sports reporter Craig Sager interviewed Mourning live.

"I heard you're happy about getting rid of the Shaquille comparison, is that true?" Sager asked.

Mourning's answer impressed Louis deeply: "I've been anxious, I'm anxious. Shaquille has Shaquille's advantages, I have mine, I know where I'm going to end up, but I'm really excited. I got rid of this comparison. From now on, I want everyone to compare me to Patrick."

"This kid is worthless." Louis rolled his eyes at Ewing, "After finally making it to the NBA, he actually only wants to be compared with Patrick? Where does he put Ralph?"

Sampson, unchallenged by Louie, smiled and said: "I heard that Patrick is Alonzo's idol, so it's normal for him to say that."

Then Louis heard one of the funniest questions of the day.

Hilarious to him at least.

Sager asked Mourning what it meant to play four years at Georgetown.

Mourning thought hard for five seconds, "This is the most correct decision and the wisest decision I have ever made in my life."

Louis laughed at that moment.

He couldn't contain his emotions, and any big man who played four years under John Thompson would say that was the best decision he ever made, and he would laugh like that.

As a result, Thompson turned both Ewing and Mourning into star centers in the NBA.

But is he the only one who can do this kind of thing?
What Louis meant was that if they changed schools, they wouldn't be able to reach this height?Precisely because of Thompson, they lost hope of fulfilling all their talents.

"Stop laughing! What's so funny?!" Ewing asked dissatisfied.

"Sorry, I can't help it!"

"What's so funny!" Ewing knew what Louis was laughing at.

Each bet in Louie's laugh represents a "SB".

"Isn't it Laettner's turn after that?" Bird asked.

"Sure." Ewing said confidently, "That kid won't fall out of the top three."

"Hmph~~" Louis said meaningfully, "That's not necessarily the case."

Minnesota Timberwolves Draft War Room

Jerry Krause was worried, and what worried him was that he didn't know what he was worrying about.

The top three in this year's draft are doomed.

O, Mo, Lai.

Only these three.

You can't go wrong if you choose these three brothers according to the order of the first three.

But ever since Louie expressed interest in Rafonso Ellis, the undercurrent in the draft field began to flow.

Klaus wanted to invite Lafonso to try out, but was rejected by his agent.

Their confidence was as strong as a guaranteed top-five pick, but he only accepted a workout with the Knicks.

According to common sense, it can only be that the Knicks gave him the draft promise.

However, Louis publicly stated that Rafonso is a player with serious hidden dangers.

And tried out all popular players except O'Neal and Mourning, and gave others praise.

Raffonso was the only one to get a bad review.

Is Louis cheating, or does he really care about La Fonso?

The recent dynamics of the Knicks make it hard not to think about Krause. The Knicks traded to the fourth pick to ensure that they have the best position to get the person they want.

Who does he want?

No matter what Klaus thinks, the Knicks' external performance gave him a strong hint that Louis locked Rafonso Ellis.

Klaus and Louis are incompatible enemies, but the enemy always knows the enemy best.

Louie's draft vision is even convinced by Klaus. If he makes such a big move for a certain rookie, then others will have to consider what this person is.

As a result, Rafonso did not give other teams the opportunity to inspect, and he has already refused to try out.

This can maintain a sense of mystery and make other teams fearful.

And he only tried out for the Knicks before turning down the workout, and then Louie did those things again.
"Jerry, it's time for us to make a choice."

Timberwolves head coach Jimmy Rodgers reminded.

"Of course Laettner should be chosen."

Klaus whispered.

"Leitner?" Rogers probably shouldn't have asked, "What about Lafonso?"

It was this question that reminded Klaus of Louie's record in the draft.

It reminded Klaus of how many times Louis had entrapped himself.

If you don't report this revenge now, when will you have to wait?
Even if it is to disappoint Louis, he should find a way to try.

"What about Lafonso's potential?" Krause asked.

Rogers said: "According to our scouting department, his development potential is higher than that of Laettner, but there are some hidden dangers, so Laettner is a safer choice."

"No, Laettner is an easy choice, but that's not the choice Little Lu would make!" Krause's eyes were a little mad. "Rafonso Ellis is who he wanted, and he designed such a botched scam to make us all think that Laffonso was his bait, but he still slipped through! If he didn't want Lafonso, Lafonso wouldn't turn down other teams after his workout with the Knicks. If he didn't want Lafonso , He didn't need to raise the Knicks' pick to the fourth pick, because he believed that we would not choose LaFonso! If he didn't want LaFonso, the Knicks wouldn't do so many weird moves! LaFonso is who he wants, and LaFonso is Little Lu's prey!"

Klaus murmured to himself like a bewilderment, which made Rogers hesitate, "Then our choice?"

"Of course it must be Raffonso Ellis!" Klaus couldn't help laughing wildly, "Let Little Lu bring that insidious son of Leitner home, but the person he likes must come to me!"

"Just imagine, he devised such a big scam, but was finally intercepted by us, how would he feel?"

Jimmy Rogers chimed in: "Jerry, this must feel brutal!"

"Huh!" Klaus was so proud that his expression was ferocious, "Now, tell the draft site about our latest decision."

At this time, the old NBC people are discussing how good Laettner is as an NBA player.

They never considered other possibilities.

Neil introduced Laettner's situation to everyone: "Christian is participating in the training camp of the Dream Team, so he will not come to the draft conference. According to Charles Barkley, he has learned how to play with the big stars in the team."

"I love him!" Everyone knows Brown loves everyone in the draft. "He's not a post-up shooter, actually, he's a Larry Bird-type outside shooter. I love the versatility and toughness he showed at Duke. He can do everything you need to win games. I know you heard the rumors about him. He is not a likable player. Every road he stepped on was booed. "

Neal asked, "Doug, what do you think of Laettner's future in the NBA?"

Doug Collins gushed, "I think he's a more athletic Jack Sikma who can initiate offense from the perimeter. He's the most special thing about being able to make consistent shots from 20 feet. At the same time, he's a great passer and rebounder. In last year's Pan American Games, he was the only player on the U.S. team who could match up with pros from other countries and have a clear advantage. Most importantly, he will develop NBA three-point shooting. He definitely will, last year." , who ranks second in the NCAA in three-point percentage, there is no doubt that Laettner has a bright future."

Finally, Neal asked the two of them: "Do you think there's a chance Laettner might lose the third pick?"

Hubie Brown laughs: "Unless Jerry Krause wants to take a Billy Owens-style gamble."

Then, the shots are handed over to the scene.

Stern came to the stage.

"The 1992 NBA draft." Stern obviously hesitated.

Why is he hesitating?There is only one reasonable explanation, that is, even in his opinion, the Timberwolves' choice is unreasonable.

"The Minnesota Timberwolves selected with the third overall pick." The silence lasted five seconds, which was abhorrent. Why did Stern delay a doomed result for so long? —words, old bastard—"Ralfonso Ellis, from the University of Notre Dame!"

"!@%@%..."

8000 Portland fans cheered enthusiastically.

Not because they love LaFonso, but because they hate Laettner.

It was a joy to see Laettner drop out of the top three.

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Bob Neal, "Super super huge huge accident!"
