The Rest, Only Noise

"...The Los Angeles Lakers selected...Kevin Garnett with the third pick in the first round..."

David Stern's voice reached everyone in the Forum's draft war room through television.

Jerry Buss said vividly: "Great, whether we are ready or not, the history of the Lakers has turned a new page."

Jim asked excitedly, "Sir, we now have Benj, Dell, and KG, is the rebuild over?"

"I suspect that Mom told you too many fairy tales when she was pregnant with you, otherwise how could you be so naive?" Jenny taunted subtly.

Louie really wanted to support Jim once, but every time the kid said it made it hard to support him.

"Getting KG is just part of the rebuild, but he's really important." Louie said a rough figure. "It's a progression from 0 to 30 percent."

Jim said unexpectedly, "Don't they even have 1% Benj?"

"They are the foundation for rebuilding, and without Benj and Dell, the addition of KG wouldn't have provided a 30 percent increase, but at the end of the day, this is just the beginning, and we still have a lot of work to do," explained Louie.

With the fourth overall pick, the Bucks surprised Jerry Stackhouse, who fell out of the top three.

Despite having a good lineup, the still-crappy Kings have the fifth overall pick and can't swallow Rasheed Wallace.

Because the Kings have a lot of good power forwards.

Like Amon Gilliam, or Wayman Tisdale, or Danny Ferry.

The best blue-collar power forwards like Grant Long are out of place for them.

And that's the reason for their poor record.

The best six players on the team have four power forwards. Who will die if you don't die?

The Kings don't even want to choose another power forward, especially a **** like Rasheed Wallace, who doesn't look like a new star who can bring good effects to the team.

They need a guardian angel.

At this time, the Boston Celtics touched it.

The Celtics put Billy Owens and a 1996 first-round pick on the trade list in exchange for the Kings' first-round No. 5 overall pick.

Looking at Owens, who has been unable to achieve greatness, Wang Guan's heart is complicated.

Back then, this guy would rather go to Europe to play than play for the Kings. Now that his potential is bankrupt, the Celtics handed him over without hesitation.

Because Owens, as the No. 3, will grab Grant Hill's ball, it is better to send people away than to keep interacting with each other.

To be honest, Owens is a strong starter above the standard.

The reason why he became a famous parallel importer in the 1990s was because the cowhide blew too loudly before the election.

The Kings agreed.

They are not looking at the strength of Owens, but the Celtics' first-round pick.

With the Celtics' current strength, can Hill take them to the playoffs in the next three years?

Based on Hill's performance in the Knicks, he might not be as good as Owens.

Wang Guan made what they thought was a wise and wise decision, taking Owens and the first round, sending the No. 5 pick.

Then, the Celtics selected Rasheed Wallace, who was the top three favorites, with the fifth pick.

When Louis in Los Angeles saw Boston doing this, he could only sigh that some semi-retired old man in Washington was never old.

It's just that Billy Owens is too cruel.

He now has to play for the Kings, a team he has completely shut out of.

Moreover, now he can no longer threaten Wang Guan with the words "either trade brother, or brother Europe".

If Owens still had this "ambition", Guan Wang would probably help him prepare a plane ticket to Europe overnight.

The only thing that doesn’t matter in this deal is Owens. Guan Wang values ​​the first round of Green Kai, and Green Kai wants the No. 5 pick. They have inadvertently created a world where no one cares about Owens.

At this point, Owens can only pack up his self-esteem and say like a mature man: "I know this is all just business. I would love to play for the Kings. I'm not what I used to be."

And the draft will continue.

The Vancouver Grizzlies selected Damon Stoudemire with the sixth overall pick.

Although Angie failed to get the top three picks, the transaction was not a good deal, and Louie provided them with well-known professional advice for their draft.

While Ainge was tempted to draft Ed O'Bannon, who had a brilliant record in college basketball, a word from Louie changed his mind.

The NBA is another world.

With those words, he decided to go for Stoudemire, whom Louis recommended.

Toronto Raptors select Bryant Reeves with the seventh overall pick

Reeves

C).

He is a typical big white bear, seven feet tall and 120 kilograms in weight, with average athletic ability, slow movement and poor movement speed, but full of skills.

If such a player was placed in the NBA in the early 1970s, he had the opportunity to become an All-Star. If he came to the early 1980s, he might have made a name for himself, but the 1995 NBA was another level of league.

The Minnesota Timberwolves who nobody cares can only bet on Ed O'Bannon with the eighth pick

O'Bannon

PF) can be as successful in the NBA as it is in college.

Then there's the attribution of the major players in this draft.

Kurt Thomas went to Atlanta.

Gary Trent

Trent

PF) went to Dallas.

Corliss Williams

Williamson

SF/PF) went to Washington.

Brent Barry went to Phoenix.

Alan Henderson went to Indiana.

Bob Sulla went to New Jersey.

Future top rim protector Theo Ratliff went to Detroit.

Then finally it was the Lakers' turn.

They have the 20th pick in the first round and the 26th pick in the first round.

There are not many people left in this position. First of all, we need to listen to the advice of Kurt Rambis, who became a Lakers scout after retirement: "This pick can still get good players, such as Jay of Alabama State University. Jason Caffee

Caffey

PF) and George Zideko (

Zidek

C), they can bring supplements to our inside line. "

"There is no shortage of insiders this year, and you can choose later. I want a wing player. What's your recommendation?"

While Louie's target is Michael Finley, he also wants to hear from others.

Although his desire for control is a bit excessive, he is not a person who likes to talk.

"For the flanks, I recommend UIC's Sherell Ford.

Ford

SF). ' said Rambis.

Louis cleared his throat and turned to Zhao Yuanzheng: "What's your suggestion?"

Zhao Yuanzheng is currently both a scout and the deputy director of the scouting department. Louis has already told him his candidate.

So now he just has to say that name.

"Michael Finley, University of Wisconsin."

"He can't." Rambis said firmly, "He doesn't have professional basketball-level dribbling ability at all, he's just an ordinary spot-up shooter. Although his physical fitness is good, a person who doesn't have the ability to dribble will only waste the ball. talent."

Zhao Yuanzheng smiled and said, "No offense, Kurt, have you seen Michael's game video?"

"I...I've seen it."

"How many times have you watched?"

Rambis' hesitation allowed Louie to conclude that he had never watched Finley play.

Finley's poor dribbling is a flaw that every scout who has ever looked at him will feature.

In fact, Finley's dribbling is really bad, but the problem is that he is very good at everything except dribbling, especially shooting.

"I haven't watched a couple of Michael's games, but every scout who has scouted him on the scene doesn't think he's worthy of a first-round pick."

"If every team can select a good player with the 20th pick in the first round, the Knicks' scouting department will not be a role model for the entire league." Zhao Yuanzheng faced everyone, "I can play for Michael. Save!"

Zhao Yuanzheng started working in New York in 1984. Although he was young, he entered the industry much earlier than Rambis.

If he was to bail for Finley, there was no reason for the others to refuse.

"I'm also very optimistic about Michael. Since Coach Zhao is also optimistic about him, let's choose." Louis made the decision.

After the 26th pick in the first round, Rambis felt that he could choose anyone because of his late position.

Louie ended the argument early, made his own decision, and used the pick to select Kansas center Greg Ostertag.

Ostertag

C).

This person's hardness and rim protection are guaranteed. David Robinson has already decided to be reimbursed for next season. Divac and Garnett at this stage will definitely not be able to protect the Lakers' penalty area. Choose a rim protection attribute. A full ⑴ meat shield can also be considered a guarantee.

Louie remembers this Ostertag in his previous life as a replacement for Mark Eaton by the Jazz.

Although he failed to reach the heights of Eaton, UU reading www. uukanshu.com but also provided help for the Utah second old who ushered in the peak of his life in the mid to late 1990s.

But his most famous deeds are being thrown into the armpit by Jordan in the finals and put into the "Extreme Jordan" in the "Extreme Jordan".

When O'Neal complained that his teammates couldn't help, Ostertag even taunted him: "That's why I'm playing in the finals and he's sleeping at home."

That's how the 1995 draft came to an end.

In the first draft after the Lakers entered the Louis era, they picked Garnett, Finley, and Ostertag. No one knows how much energy they can play, but everyone believes that these people will. Help in the new season as Leader

Lu never misses.

⑴ Ostertag has two seasons ranked first in the league in block percentage. Remember the website address, www. biquxu. Com, it is convenient to read next time, or you can enter this site by entering "" in Baidu
