The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1533 Dad\'s Awakening Words
Latest URL: Coincidences and accidents made Darko Milicic a doomed mistake.
In 2003, the NBA was in a period of frenzy for European players. Milicic still had a tough playing style that did not seem to be a weak European insider. The Serbian Basketball League was as mysterious as an alien civilization to the NBA. Odd's scouts say he's tough, but how tough? How is his personality? What is his aggressiveness like? Is he a good teammate?
Scouts have yet to answer these questions.
Originally, Milicic was supposed to participate in the 2004 NBA draft, but it was only because the league postponed the deadline for international players to sign up for the draft that he was eligible to participate in the 2003 NBA draft.
Therefore, scouts don't have enough time to investigate the internal factors that can determine his upper limit. They can only judge Milicic's potential from his dynamic talent and skills at this stage.
For scouts who like to exaggerate, Milicic's potential is limitless. No team desperate for a savior could turn that down.
Milicic's hype escalated. It gets frenetic and sure.
In the eyes of the media, Milicic is as if he is a foolproof genius like James. But he wasn't, at least not to Louie, far from it.
Louis learned about Serbia's local evaluation and views on Milicic through Bodi Loga.
Miraculously, fans in Milicic's team's city are puzzled that the NBA is so eager for Milicic. They thought Milicic wasn't there because he didn't have the heart of an apprentice.
When Milicic became famous, the NBA became his destined next stop. When Milicic knew that his future belonged to the NBA, he lost respect for Serbia's coaches and club teammates. He no longer had enthusiasm for daily training, and his desire to perform greatly increased. No matter how many shots he took, he was never satisfied.
He became short-tempered, publicly berating teammates for not passing him the ball.
These things were overlooked by scouts who were blind to Milicic's talent.
Once such an incomparably talented boy hits a wall in the NBA, for example, he meets a coach like Larry Brown, what awaits him is endless humiliation and endless benching.
But Louis is a time traveler, he knows Milicic's ending.
While Larry Brown may be largely responsible for Milicic's complete demise, he's not the only coach Milicic has encountered in the NBA.
Kevin Garnett's mentor, the generous Flip Saunders, took over the Pistons and gave the junior Milicic 13 minutes a game to prove himself—less? That's twice as many minutes as Larry Brown—after another season, the Pistons finally decided he wasn't going to be what the scouts had pictured them to be, and sent him to Orlando.
He met many coaches after that, but none of them could inspire his potential, but the local nightclub inspired his potential.
In the end, perhaps the fault lies with the league.
If they don't extend the international player registration deadline and give scouts another year, the negative issues on Milicic will be magnified, and maybe by that time, the team that gets him will Be more prepared for this than you are now.
People thought he was the Chosen One like LeBron James, and he was, but in reverse.
Louis doesn't care about Milicic's future development in the Suns, he only knows that Milicic's second pick has been secured.
Lu Wuxia never dreamed that the second spot she had reserved several months in advance would be picked by a European who turned out to be a peach.
Now, he has to accept the worst outcome—playing for Daddy's team. If he is lucky, he may play under Daddy's team in the future.
Although his father is recognized as a coaching GOAT, but regardless of his status as a GOAT, that is his father.
Although the relationship between father and son is very harmonious, once this relationship extends to daily work, many
Things change. June 26, 2003
New York, Madison Square Garden
This is the first time that Louis has been to the draft scene in person since he joined the industry. Only today, his identity is that of a father.
Lu Wuxia was one of the happiest people. Unlike some players in the same class, his beloved family members came to the scene, "Dad, will the Suns really choose that European?"
Before David Stern took the stage to give a speech, Lu Wuxia asked unwillingly. "As far as I know, yes." Louie nodded.
Lu Wuxia immediately uttered an Italian curse: "Cazzo!! Look at my burnt luck!" "Mike, no swearing!" Lorraine said.
Before the draft started, a funny thing happened.
Carmelo Anthony said hello to each other like a big shot.
When he walked up to Wuxia, the Son of God who was so irritable because he was about to be picked peaches made him dumbfounded: "If you, the prospective No. Personal greetings twice? Melo, you put all this superficial effort into training, maybe you can **** LeBron's No. 1 pick!"
Anthony froze for a few seconds, then looked at Louis: "Sir, who messed with ish?" Louis said with a smile, "You know the answer."
"Hey, isn't it just a drop in the draft? What is this?" Anthony said optimistically, "I was going to play for the Celtics, but now I'm going to play for the Clippers. Did you see me complaining? "
Needless to say, after Anthony said this, Lu Wuxia felt much better.
Is there anything more frightening than being robbed of the No. 2 pick by a European who fell from the sky? Yes, playing for the Clippers.
Lu Wuxia felt admiration for Anthony for the first time, "I don't know how your nerves grow, do you know how bad that team is?" Anthony is definitely the ultimate optimist: "My agent will take care of it." Everything!"
Wuxia, who was speechless to Anthony, turned to his father: "Dad, I feel better."
"That's right, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life. We must learn to let go of our own dissatisfaction and look at other people's dissatisfaction more. If we see more, life will be more satisfactory." Louis said with a smile.
Hearing the conversation between Louis and his son, Anthony realized how serious things were. "Is the clipper really that bad?"
Louie asked with a smile: "Melo, do you know what the owner of the Clippers, Donald Sterling, calls the Clippers in private?" "I don't know..."
"He called the Clippers..." Louie said literally, "'My Plantation.'" Then Anthony walked away saying he wanted to make a phone call.
Louie believed he was going to make a phone call.
Because everyone in the little green room clearly heard his rant: "I'm going to die, jump off the Madison building, and I won't play for that **** racist!!"
Lu Wuxia couldn't help laughing out loud, he found that what his father said was really an eloquent saying, if you look at other people's unsatisfactory things, your own life will become more satisfactory.
A few minutes later, Anthony came over anxiously, "Sir, can my family and I sit next to you?" "Please."
Louis said casually.
Anthony's mother, Mary, asked Louie about the Clippers again. Louie knew everything.
The more things were said about the Clippers, the worse it became for Anthony and his family.
In the end, even Li Xuanbing couldn't listen anymore: "Is there no other way? The draft system is too unreasonable. Why is it a one-way choice?"
As a practitioner, Louis knows that the draft system has its own rationality, so he can't say much~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, there are too few teams like the Clippers that are so rotten.
A few minutes later, Stern came to the stage and continued the cliche of thanking the audience and thanking the TV station.
For practitioners, only the last line of his speech is really meaningful: "Now, the Cleveland Cavaliers have five minutes to make a decision."
Although the Cavaliers' decision has not yet been announced, everyone already knows the result.
TNT's Charles Barkley told the public this blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Kenny Smith couldn't help answering: "Camchuk, even if he gets injured, LeBron has a 100% chance of entering the Hall of Fame!" Ernie Johnson mocked with a smile on his face: "Thank you two for your wonderful predictions." !"
Then, the screen turned to the front of the stage.
David Stern walked up to the front desk, pulled out the envelope, and exclaimed, "The Cleveland Cavaliers selected with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft... LeBron James, of Santa Maria High School !"
