The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 457 It\'s him again, Lu Yaojin!

First of all, if Louis remembers correctly, the Bulls got Pippen through a trade.

Although Jerry Krause gave players contracts, he always used the safest way to get the players he wanted, and never took the risk of waiting for the opponent to fall and send it to him.

Therefore, no accident, the Bulls will choose to trade to get Pippen.

Louie has no interest in Pippen. It may be too crazy to say that, after all, the opponent is one of the ten best small forwards in history, and one of the three best defensive small forwards in history. The best assistant of . The top 30 superstars, and then Louis said he was not interested in him.

It sounds incomprehensible, but it's easy to understand.

The Knicks already have an ace on the wing (Wilson), and the second position will also be locked by Ellis or Miller in the future.

Simply put, the Knicks have no place for Pippen.

If they forcibly choose Pippen, it will inevitably inflate the talent in the team, and it is likely to collapse because the playing time of many players cannot be met.

The Trail Blazers in the early 21st century are an example. They had too many famous players and everyone wanted to play. Mike Dunleavy couldn't satisfy them, and the chemistry within the team collapsed.

Therefore, for the Knicks, the most favorable result is not that they choose Pipen, but that Pipen is not selected by the Bulls.

After all, the Knicks hold the Bulls' next two first-round picks. As long as they are not allowed to select Pippen, they can prevent them from rebuilding. This is a typical self-interest at the expense of others.

So Louis contacted his friends in the media.

Dave Anderson of the New York Times and Selwyn Haley of the New York Post, Louie wanted them to write a feature for Pippen and make him famous.

Anderson asked Louie, "Why did you do that?"

"To make the future of the Knicks better."

Well, if you're not writing this article, you're not trying to make the future of the Knicks better.

Louie's request was not too much. The Times and the Post published feature articles on Pippen's characters under the topics of "The Knicks' Possible Choices in This Year's Draft" and "Those Future Stars Urgently Needing More Attention".

The influence of these two media is beyond doubt.

Fans immediately learned about such a player.

Pippen was the youngest of 12 children born to Preston and Ethel in 24 years. There, he and his brothers often played together for hours. His father worked most of his days as the manager of a paper mill, until one day seven years ago, he came home with a severe stroke. Preston has been confined to a wheelchair since then, and he never watched his youngest son, Scottie, play basketball until he watched a tape of a Bulls game.

For a long time, almost no one watched Pippen play.

Pippen played little playing time as a sophomore at Hamburg High, so he decided before his senior year to skip offseason practice for the basketball team and become an equipment manager for the football team.

Pippen was frustrated because at 15, he was still shorter than his mother, even though she was 6 feet tall.

Pippen's family is a family of elders, but because of his height, he never thought that he would play professional basketball in the future. After Pippen missed workouts because the football and basketball seasons overlapped, high school coach Donald Wayne initially didn't want to add him to the roster. Ultimately, Wayne changed his mind, only because players on the team voted that Pippen should be brought back.

During Pippen's senior year, he became the starting point guard for the Hamburgers (the name of the high school's varsity team). However, the 6-foot-1, 150-pound man generated little excitement among college admissions officers. If Wayne hadn't recommended Pippen to Central Arkansas coach Don Dale, Pippen would have likely ended up working in the mills as a high schooler who was nowhere to be seen, like his father and his brothers.

At the time, Pippen had no interest in playing basketball anymore, but his college coach, Don Dale, saw this as an opportunity for him to get an education. Therefore, when Pippen arrived at the University of Arkansas, he came as an assistant.

By the time school started, Pippen had grown to 6-foot-3, so Dale allowed him to practice with the team, too, and Pippen quickly proved himself a roster spot at the University of Central Arkansas. As a sophomore, he was the team's best player at 6-foot-5. Dell started playing him at guard, forward, center, any position.

In his senior season, he averaged 23.6 points, 10 rebounds and 4.3 assists while shooting 59 percent from the field and 58 percent from three.

These stories greatly increased Pippen's popularity.

Therefore, in early June, Pippen was invited to participate in the Portsmouth training camp in Virginia, which is officially organized by the NBA, mainly to give professional scouts the opportunity to carefully examine rookies.

The most surprising thing is that Knicks head coach and general manager Louie and deputy general manager Elgin Baylor both came to the training camp.

This has caused a lot of speculation.

Louie's vision has been recognized by the professional basketball circle. None of the players he has selected has been parallel imports. They are either potential stars or reliable role players.

"Who is littlelu looking at this time?"

During the training camp, Pippen played in several games. Under the arrangement of several different coaches, he played the four positions of point guard, shooting guard, small forward and power forward.

He is comfortable in every position, and if you want to say the position where he performs best, it has to be point guard and small forward.

His defense and movement skills are amazing, although the ball feel is a bit stiff, but he has the potential to become a point forward like Paul Price.

Pippen was named to the All-Star team for the training camp. Although he was not the most valuable player of the training camp, he got Louie's vote.

Louie was the only voter who thought he was the best in training camp.

The media asked him why he voted for Pippen, because there was also a draft favorite in the training camp, Horace Grant.

"I see Paul Price and Moncrief in Scottie, give him some time, maybe he will become a defensive all-around player like Moncrief."

The media asked sensitively: "So, will the Knicks select him in the draft?"

"I can't tell you the Knicks' draft plan, but if we can get Scotty, we will definitely go for it as much as possible."

Louis' pursuit of Pippen has aroused the attention of the whole circle.

Many people have set their sights on the kid from the second-tier league.

Some thought Louie was bluffing.

For example, former Cavaliers general manager and current Nets general manager Harry Weltman: "Littlelu is just bluffing when he says that. He deliberately promotes the reputation of that Arkansas kid so that he can profit from the chaos."

However, there are not a few people who believe in Louis.

Louis doesn't care about the reaction of others, he only cares about Klaus' reaction.

Too bad Louie doesn't have the clairvoyance to see what's going on in the Chicago Bulls offices.

Klaus has been worried recently. Last year's Bias almost ruined his career. Fortunately, the boss Reinsdorf was magnanimous and willing to give him a few more years to prove himself. If he can't keep the Bulls out of the lottery in the next few years, his career is over.

Pippen had already been locked by him. In order to find out the reality of this kid, he secretly went to the University of Arkansas game site to watch the game several times.

He saw a lot of surprises in Pippen's game.

It's hard to see a young player as flexible as Pippen, who also has excellent athletic ability, can play the first position, and is very powerful on the defensive end.

He was determined to get this man.

I thought things would go smoothly, but in the end, another Lu Yaojin appeared on the way.

It's him again! little lu!

"Damn it, I don't believe he can trade up for Scotty!" Klaus worried secretly.

Now that Pippen's exposure has increased greatly, Klaus began to fear.

Was Pippen's talent invisible to the naked eye? Obviously not.

Krause wouldn't have traded a higher lottery pick for him if it wasn't visible to the naked eye.

Because Pippen's talent is visible to the naked eye, once everyone's attention comes to him, once he plays an exciting performance in the trial training, those teams with high draft picks will not care whether he is Born in the second league.

The Knicks' Oakley and Rodman are both from the second-tier league, which did not affect their foothold in the NBA.

There are more and more examples to prove that the lower leagues may make mistakes in evaluating the strength of players, but their potential and talent. It doesn't matter which league you're in.

A day later, Pippen was invited to another college All-Star event in Hawaii, where the competition was even tighter. This time Pippen was not only selected to the best team, but also won the slam dunk contest.

Then, what disturbed Klaus the most happened.

The Knicks announced that they will have a one-day solo workout for Pippen.

What kind of specification is this?

In the Louis era, the Knicks have only conducted strict individual training on one player so far.

That player was Patrick Ewing. At the time, Ewing was the most watched and anticipated college student in history.

The Knicks gave him a separate trial treatment, not because he didn't believe in his strength, but because of his fame and strength, people felt that other people should not participate in the trial with him.

Now, Pippen has become the second player to receive this honor.

The moment Klaus heard the news~www.mtlnovel.com~ his heart almost stopped beating.

The Knicks are playing for real!

Moreover, if Louis really wants Pippen, he can definitely trade for a high draft pick.

They have coveted young players and a plethora of future draft picks.

As long as there is any disturbance in the league, as long as they want any player or draft pick, unless the object is their enemy, no club can compete with them.

Klaus' scalp began to tingle.

"Jerry, what shall we do next?"

asked Billy McKinney, the Bulls' assistant general manager.

"The transaction must start immediately!" Klaus said heavily, "Let's act first!"
