Chapter 1263 Restless Celebrities
The 3-on-3 amateur game lasted for half an hour, and Wilson's team won overwhelmingly.
Lu Wuxia felt deeply that he was not kind to others, so he unfortunately formed Bird and Kobe as teammates.
Of these two people, one paddled poorly, and the other was defiant (pointing to eyesight).
Wuxia couldn't take it halfway through the fight, and asked Dad 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, Louis did not play, and Wuxia had to continue to endure Bird's paddling.
Because Bird and Wang Zhizhi are facing each other, Xiao Wang is also sensible and dare not make too many moves. Basically, he takes the ball with his back and then turns around and retreats.
After being scored by Wang Zhizhi with the ball, Bird nodded and praised: "Nowadays, there are very few young insiders who have such good skills as you."
"Hillbilly, 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 was injured, he was an All-Star 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 team.
The gold content of the NBA's best five-position team in the 90s is not ordinary.
Forget about Bird paddling, Kobe is the one who makes Wuxia angry the most.
"I'm empty!"
"Kobe?"
"Pass the ball!"
"Kobe, if you could see me!"
"Kobe!!!"
Kobe was obsessed with the duel with Wilson, no matter how flawless he wanted the ball, he turned a blind eye.
The outcome of this 3V3 half-court basketball game with asymmetric strength was doomed from the very beginning.
Before the meal, Wuxia had been complaining about Kobe's shot selection.
"Even if I give you the ball, what can you do? Can you score under Jiang Duo's defense?" Kobe glanced at Liu Yuqing, "His defense is not that bad!"
Only a fool would go all out in this kind of play house that isn't even a game.
Liu Yuqing looked at Kobe with contempt.
"You haven't even tried, how do you know I can't do it?" Wuxia often heard his father complain about Kobe's shot selection, and today he opened his eyes wide, "You don't trust your teammates at all!"
Hearing this, both Louis and Wilson laughed.
"Trust your teammates" is Kobe's mantra.
That evening's Thanksgiving dinner was perhaps the busiest the Louie family had had in years.
In previous Thanksgivings, Louis had also invited Wilson, Tomjanovich and others, but he had never invited so many people at once.
Kobe, as a new guest who came to 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 slang and street-style mouth fetishes, he is well-educated, has gentlemanly etiquette, and has a little Italian accent.
When Kobe and Lorraine talked about Italy, they acted like real Italians.
However, the little master Lu Wuxia has a bad impression of Kobe, the reason is...
Overall, this Thanksgiving has been a joyful one for Louie, one of the rare comforts he feels when he's actually on vacation.
However, this peaceful good day soon ended.
After Thanksgiving, the Lakers played against the Phoenix Suns at home.
After Yu Tiancan was reimbursed for the season, the Suns focused the game entirely on the outside.
However, Kevin Johnson was in poor form tonight.
The audience made 10 of 2 shots and only scored 8 points. The Suns also ended in a disastrous defeat.
So far, the Lakers' November schedule is all over.
The next day, Louis accepted an exclusive interview with "USA Today" and talked about many problems in the team.
But what really caused waves had nothing to do with the Lakers.
Prior to this, the NBA officially announced early that it would launch the top 1996 superstars in NBA history during the All-Star Weekend of the 97-[-] season.
Discussions surrounding the candidates for the Big [-] have already begun.
That was the main talking point in the media during the offseason, and after the season started, the discussion intensified.
The "USA Today" reporter did not ask Louie to list his top 50 superstars. Such outrageous questions.
They just asked Louie to name 10 players who had to be in the Big 50.
"Benj, Patrick, Larry, Ralph" Louie said the four names without thinking, followed by, "McCan, Russell, Karim, Elgin, Big O, Jerry."
The reporter asked in surprise, "Isn't Wilt among them?"
"Oh yes, and Wilt."
"Where's MJ?"
"Eh MJ is fine too."
Louis is one of those rare people who didn't think of Chamberlain first.
When people enumerate the top 50 list, the first three players selected are Wilson, Chamberlain and Bird.
Louis is a Chamberlain black, and he had a quarrel with the famous Lakers in the early years, but he didn't expect that he was mainly related to prejudice.
Chamberlain was widely viewed as a loser by his generation.
Years after retiring, he began to whitewash himself on TV shows, saying that if he was a loser, so was everyone else.
You know what, he was actually right.
Bill Russell, who has done all kinds of bad things, led the Celtics to win 13 championships in 11 years. From the perspective of a generation's narrative, except for Russell and the Celtics, everyone else is a loser.The reason why Chamberlain is more blamed is that he could have XX, but he didn't.
The NBA is going to select the top 50 superstars, and those who are most interested in this are those who have retired.
On the contrary, the active players don't care.
Some people know that they will definitely be selected, such as Wilson, Ewing, Sampson, and some ordinary All-Stars knew early on that they had no hope.
On the contrary, those retired celebrities, no matter what their strength or honor was when they were in the military, after retiring for so long, they all hope that they can reappear in people's sight and let people know "Oh, so he was also very good. ", especially those ordinary stars who did not perform well in the player era, they want to make some big news and try to get into the big list.
The old superstars began to express their views.
Bill Russell's top 50 player is Oscar Robertson.
West chose his old teammate Baylor.
Baylor also understands that West is the first choice.
"Kangaroo Boy" Billy Cunningham, who has been out of the front line for a while, began to boast, "People now don't know how good the previous generation of players are. They will only use the stupid theory of evolution to deny the achievements of the predecessors."
"If I'm not selected, it means that this list is ridiculous." A celebrity who asked not to be named told the tabloid.
Someone proposed an exhibition match for the old superstars.
However, the idea is silly.
If the exhibition games of the old superstars still have any enjoyment, the NBA, which has always been raking in money, will not give up such a good idea of the legendary game.
This group of pampered celebrities have stopped playing for a long time, and now letting them come out to perform for the fans, no matter for the young fans or the old fans who have watched them play in the past, it is an unpleasant torture.
Young fans will grow more contemptuous of the past NBA.
And the precious youthful memories of the old fans will be torn apart, and some people will even have extreme thoughts of "I actually liked this precious thing back then?".
Those who try to use exhibition games to score themselves are basically hopeless people.
Famous celebrities who really have a chance to be selected will use their network to inquire about news.
Lakers star Gail Goodrich contacted West, wondering 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 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 it.
The modern NBA has been changed by him.
How many players will be bettered by his influence to squeeze out the original top 50 and become the new top 50?
The list will start with Benjamin Wilson, Ralph Sampson.
