The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1277 Restless celebrities
The 3-on-3 amateur game lasted half an hour and was won by a landslide on Wilson's team.
Lu Wuxia was deeply embarrassed to meet people, and he unfortunately teamed up with Bird and Kobe as teammates.
Of these two people, one was swaying in the water, and the other was defiant (referring to eyesight).
Wuxia couldn't stand half of the fight, and asked Dad to play to replace Bird.
Bird didn't respond yet, and Louis was the first to quit.
"Nizi, who do you want me to guard against? Your brother Wang or benj?"
In the end, Louie did not play, and Wuxia had to continue to endure Bird's stroke.
Since Bird and Wang Zhideng were on the opposite side, Xiao Wang was also sensible and did not dare to do too much action.
After Wang Zhidao used this ball on his head to score points, Bird nodded and praised: "There are very few young insiders who have such good skills as you."
"Bill, what do you think of Wang's prospects in the NBA?" Louis asked casually.
Bird boldly predicted: "Better than Harold (Yu Tiancan)."
This is really bold. Before Yu Tiancan's injury, he was an All-Star level insider. To say that Wang Zhizhi is better than the former is to say that the latter has the potential to compete for the best lineup.
The gold content of the NBA's No. 5 best lineup in the 1990s is not ordinary.
Forget about Bird's paddling, Kobe is the person who makes Wuxia the most angry.
"I'm empty!"
"Kobe?"
"Pass the ball!"
"Kobe, if you can see me!"
"Kobe!!!"
Kobe was so obsessed with the matchup with Wilson that no matter how flawless asked for the ball, he turned a blind eye.
The outcome of this asymmetrical 3v3 half-court basketball game was doomed from the start.
Before the meal, Wuxia had been complaining about Kobe's shot selection.
"Even if I give you the ball, what can you do? Could it be that you can score under Jiang Duo's defense?" Kobe glanced at Liu Yuqing, "His defense is not that bad!"
Only an idiot would go all out in a game that doesn't even count as a game.
Liu Yuqing looked at Kobe with contempt.
"You haven't even tried it, how do you know I can't do it?" Wuxia often heard his dad complain about Kobe's shooting choices, and today he opened his eyes wide, "You don't trust your teammates at all!"
Hearing this, Louis and Wilson both laughed.
"Trust your teammates" is Kobe's mantra.
Thanksgiving dinner that night was perhaps the busiest at Louie's in years.
On Thanksgiving in previous years, Louie also invited Wilson, Tomjanovich and others, but never called so many people at one time.
Bryant, as a new guest at Louis's house for the first time, left a deep impression on several hosts other than Louis.
Li Xuanbing has a good impression of him, because Kobe is not as vulgar as some black Americans from the bottom, without full of slang and street-style mouth fetishes, he is well educated, has gentleman-like manners, and has a little Italian accent.
When Kobe and Lorraine talked about Italy, they acted like real Italians.
However, the little master Lu Wuxia had a very bad impression of Kobe, the reason...
Overall, this Thanksgiving has been a joyous day for Louie, who rarely has the comfort of being on vacation.
However, those peaceful days were soon over.
After Thanksgiving, the Lakers host the Phoenix Suns.
After Yu Tiancan was reimbursed for the season, the Suns focused their game entirely on the perimeter.
However, Kevin Johnson was not in good shape tonight.
The audience made 2 of 10 shots and scored only 8 points, and the Suns also ended in a fiasco.
At this point, the Lakers' November schedule is all over.
The next day, Louie accepted an exclusive interview with USA Today and talked about many issues within the team.
But what really caused the waves had nothing to do with the Lakers.
Previously, the NBA officially announced early that it would launch the 50 greatest superstars in NBA history during the All-Star Weekend of the 1996-97 season.
Discussions around candidates for the top 50
It started long ago.
That was the main talking point in the media during the offseason, and after the season started, the discussion intensified.
The USA TODAY reporter didn't ask the outrageous question of asking Louie to list his top 50 superstars.
They just asked Louie to name 10 players who must be in the Big 50.
"Benj, Patrick, Larry, Ralph..." Louie said the four names without thinking first, then, "Miccan, Russell, Kareem, Elgin, Big O, Jerry."
The reporter asked in surprise, "Is Wilt not among them?"
"Oh yes, and Wilt."
"Where's mj?"
"Uh...mj will do too."
Louis is a rare person who didn't think of Chamberlain first.
When people listed the top 50 list, the first three players were Wilson, Chamberlain and Bird.
Louie is a black Chamberlain, and he had an argument with the Lakers legend in the early years. I didn't think that he was mainly related to prejudice.
Chamberlain was widely seen as a loser by his generation.
Years after retiring, he started whitewashing himself on TV, saying that if he was a loser, so were everyone else.
You know what, he was really right.
Bill Russell, who has done all the bad things, took the Celtics to 11 championships in 13 years. From the perspective of a generational narrative, except for Russell and the Celtics, everyone else is a loser. The reason Chamberlain gets more blame is that he could have **** and didn't.
The NBA wants to select the top 50 superstars, and those who are most interested in it are those who have retired.
On the contrary, the current stars do not care.
Some people know they are certain to be selected, such as Wilson, Ewing, Sampson, and some ordinary All-Stars know early on that they have no hope.
On the contrary, the retired celebrities, no matter what their strength and honor are in service, after retiring for so long, they all hope that they can reappear in people's sight and let people know "Oh, it turns out that he was also great. "Especially those ordinary stars who did not perform well in their playing days, they want to make some big news and try to get into the roster.
The big old superstars began to express their views.
Bill Russell's top 50 player is Oscar Robertson.
West chose old teammate Baylor.
Baylor also understands it well and prefers West.
Billy Cunningham, the "Kangaroo Boy" who has faded out of the front line for a while, began to brag, "People now don't know how good the players of the previous generation are. They will only use the stupid theory of evolution to deny the achievements of the predecessors."
"If I don't make it, it means the list is ridiculous," one celebrity told the tabloid on condition of anonymity.
There was a proposal for an exhibition match for the old superstars.
However, this idea is stupid.
If the old superstar's exhibition game has any ornamental interest, the NBA, which has always been lavishing money, would not give up such a good idea as the Legendary game. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
This group of pampered celebrities has long since stopped playing, and now letting them come out to perform for fans is an unpleasant ordeal for both young fans and old fans who have seen them play.
Young fans will be more and more disdainful of past NBAs.
And the precious youth memories of old fans will be torn apart, and some people will even have the extreme idea of "I actually liked this precious thing back then?"
Those who try to use the exhibition game to give themselves points are basically hopeless people.
Famous celebrities who really have a chance to be selected will use their relationship networks to inquire about news.
Lakers legend Gail Goodrich contacted West and wondered if he needed to prepare for the 50th celebration.
The top 50 is not only a lifetime honor award for players, but also the clubs to which the players belong.
Therefore, clubs with glorious team history all call the league office to inquire about news.
On the day Louis finished the interview, he returned home and settled down to analyze.
The NBA of this world has been changed by him.
how many will there be
Players who have been influenced by him to become better squeeze out the old 50 and become the new 50?
The list will start with Benjamin Wilson, Ralph Sampson...
