The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 485: tall figure

Even though the idea of ​​trading Dale Ellis reigned supreme in Louie's mind, he decided to give the young man who had been on the team since the 1984-85 season a chance.

Aside from Stockton, Ellis was the earliest identified player for Louis.

When Louie first arrived, the team was a mess, and no player except Stockton could see a future.

In that losing season, Louie kept trading, sending out all the old men who played for draft picks and young men who were frustrated on other teams.

Ellis is the most notable one.

The Knicks from 1984-85, only Stockton and Ellis are still on the team.

Just for this original intention, Louis will also give him a chance.

After Ellis came back, the Knicks' rotation time underwent massive adjustments, mainly on the backline.

Louie deliberately disrupted the rotation to increase the time between Ellis and Wilson Miller Hornacek in the same game.

However, the effect is not good.

The Knicks have lost four of the eight games since Ellis returned.

The most unacceptable loss was the 135-141 loss to the Nuggets.

A team known for its defense, scored 141 points in regular time.

Fans can't understand that the Nuggets and Doug Mo have been demonized by the media as if losing to them is a shame.

In these few games, Ellis performed well, averaging 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and scored at least two three-pointers with a 40% shooting rate per game. It can be said that he still has a very high level.

However, in addition to Wilson, Miller and Hornacek's performance has declined to varying degrees.

Meanwhile, Resurrection Season, a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times sports columnist Dave Anderson, went on sale. To write the book, Anderson spent the entire 1985-86 season with the team, then spent another year putting together data to complete the book detailing what happened inside the Knicks during Ewing's rookie season.

The book is based on the theme of "Messiah", and the cover is Ewing, which makes people think that Ewing will be the protagonist.

However, open the book, you will find that the real protagonist is the Knicks coach LittleLu.

Anderson's vivid portrayal of Louie, especially the episodes where he gets angry, is all written in.

The book topped the New York-area bestseller list.

Even the things that have kept the Knicks in bad shape lately have been suppressed.

On December 21-22, the Knicks did not play.

Madison Square Garden was also used to host another game.

Surprisingly, it was a high school game.

The two sides of the game are both from New York, one is Abraham Lincoln High School, which has risen strongly in the annual New York City Challenge, and the other is Archbishop Molloy High School, one of the most powerful high school basketball players in the New York area.

The reason why Abraham Lincoln High School is getting attention is that they have three international students from China in the first team and three in the reserve team.

Because of the special relationship between these high school students and Louis, no one was surprised when Louis came to watch the game.

Even when Louie spoke to them, no one accused Louie of serious violations.

"Xiaoyu, everyone doesn't know you, this is your chance." Louis pointed to the camera not far away.

Apparently there was a local TV station broadcasting the game live.

Yu Tiancan glanced at the camera seat and said excitedly, "Then I must play well!"

Hu Weidong also came to say hello.

He is the fastest mature player in the first phase of the Road Academy in the United States. He became the starter of Lincoln High School in the first year, averaging 16 points per game, the second in the team.

Moreover, he got offers from two universities in the first year, which can be said to have a very bright future.

"Coach, do you think it's interesting for me to give up the college stage and sign up for the NBA draft?" Hu Weidong asked seriously.

Louie must have said something in his ear, and immediately said: "No drama, you can get rid of this idea as soon as possible."

Hu Weidong returned to the arena angrily.

Louie looked at the Lincoln High School bench.

At the bottom of the bench, 15-year-old Liu Yuqing is sitting there.

He is the youngest player in the first phase of his career in the United States, and Deng Shimo's most promising child. He is currently 191cm tall, and when he first came to Lincoln High School last year, he was transferred to the first team at the same time as Hu Weidong.

Lincoln High School is a strong school in New York high school basketball. When Liu Yuqing came to the United States, she started reading in the ninth grade of high school. In the ninth grade, he was able to make the first team of Lincoln High School. To some extent, it can be said that he has the potential to play in the NBA.

According to the coach of Lincoln High School, there are three reasons why Liu Yuqing is not the starter. Lincoln High's 2 and 3 positions are all core players, so it's not appropriate to squeeze anyone out of them. Last but not least is his ability to communicate.

He hardly communicated on the court and played with his head down.

Even so, Liu Yuqing averaged 6 points per game last season.

It can be said that all three have bright professional basketball prospects.

As for their opponents, the same is not ordinary.

Molloy High's ace was the nation's No. 1 guard Kenny Anderson PG, a genius who made headlines at the age of 14.

And, he's much stronger than DePaul's Rod Strickland.

He is considered the best player the New York area has produced since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He has been selected to the All-American team for three consecutive years, and will be selected next year, no surprise.

Before that, New York State had produced more than 250 NBA players. I dare to say that he is the best after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. One can imagine how optimistic the locals are about him.

However, Louis has a different view.

First of all, he didn't know Anderson, and this alone was enough for him to look down on the other side's follow-up development.

There is a high probability that a player who was drafted into the league in the 1990s should have reached its peak in the late 1990s and early 20th century under normal development, but he does not know it. What is C**?

Moreover, New York is indeed rich in talented point guards.

But you have to add an appropriate adjective, they are full of talented guards with questionable minds.

Anderson doesn't look like he's the one with the right mind.

"Coach Lu, can I sit next to you?"

A young white man greeted politely.

Louie nodded and said, "please."

After that, the other party introduced himself to Louis.

His name is Dave Odom (Dave Odom), currently working as an assistant in Virginia, usually mainly to help the team recruit high school students.

Oh...Virginia?

Isn't that Sampson's school? Louie knew Terry Holland.

But Holland didn't like him, or rather, he was very hostile to Louis.

"How is Coach Holland?" Louie asked.

Odom smiled and said, "It's good. I often hear your name from him, but most of them have swear words that you definitely don't want to understand."

"Understandable."

In 1980, Louie stole Sampson from the University of Virginia.

Looking at it now, what Louis did back then completely changed the pattern of the league.

At this time, Sampson was already a top 20 player in history. He established the position of the league's No. 1 center in the 1984 finals. The two have ruled since then to this day.

What if he stayed at the University of Virginia and played four full years?

Just because Louis was puzzled by Sampson's name when he crossed over, it can be concluded that Sampson has fallen.

Therefore, in Louis's eyes, the University of Virginia and Trand are no different from Georgetown University and John Thompson and the like.

The waste snacks that mislead the children, die early and live early.

After the start of the game, Anderson really played dominance on the outside.

His ability to handle the ball, that silky dribble, let Louie see the shadow of future guards.

In the hand-checking era, finishing the ankle is rare, far from the post-Hand-checking era where a guard with a quick speed and a good dribble can easily knock people down.

What exactly is restricted by the Hand-checking rule? From the big concept, it is the breakthrough of the perimeter ball carrier. It allows the defender's hand to come into contact with the attacker, which invisibly gives the defender a fulcrum, making it difficult for you to knock him down. Therefore, only an unreasonably large change of direction like Allen Iverson can frequently end the opponent's ankle.

This way of ending is too focused on talent, so everyone who has seen Iverson at his peak has a certain degree of contempt for Irving, the first ball handler in the small ball era, because they are convinced that the kind of outrageous operation, in the It's hard to have the same effect in the hand-checking era.

Anderson, Isaiah Thomas and later Tim Hardaway and others, their core goal is not to end the opponent's ankle, but to "freeze the ankle". They pinned the opponent's center of gravity in place by shaking the ball, and it was as difficult to move as the ankle was frozen, and the attack was completed in an instant.

Every moment that freezes an ankle ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ when it happens, causes no less of a stir than a future ending ankle.

Anderson started tonight, hitting the linebacker at Lincoln High.

As far as the level of ball control is concerned, among the active guards, only Thomas may be comparable to him.

However, it didn't take long for Anderson's light to be taken away by another person.

I saw him swinging back and forth, using his crotch to dribble to freeze the opponent's ankle, and then go to the basket for a layup.

A shadow appeared, and with it, his ball was severely capped out of bounds.

Yu Tiancan's figure has become tall, it doesn't look like 215CM, but more like 315CM.
