You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 994

Chapter 997 Public Enemy Pistons
April 6

There are still three days before the 2003 draft, and the Pistons conduct their last workout.

The players who participated in the trial training were Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade.

In order to test the weight of these two people, Dumas specially called Prince and Salmons.

The season of the Pistons is over, but these two rookies who have just finished their rookie season have devoted themselves to a new preparation.

There will be a summer league in mid-July, and they will lead the team to participate in the second grade. Therefore, they are still in a state of intense training, which can be regarded as open all year round.

Today they were called to the Henry Ford Training Center to help test the rookies. They originally wanted to give Anthony and Wade a little color, but they were educated with their talents.

"Oh my God, this young man can jump too high!" assistant coach Charlie McCann said palely, "The sky is his limit!"

Wade vacated the Tomahawk, almost over Salmons' body, and scored with a Tomahawk dunk.

Joe Dumars saw the shot through the glass window of the general manager's office.

He opened his mouth.

Wade's physical talent is fully displayed, and this is still in the case of a missing meniscus. If this young man remains healthy in college, how terrible will it be now?

Anthony is the opposite of Wade.

Putting Prince and Anthony one-on-one is really the right person.A tall man with a prominent wingspan. He doesn't like to jump up and defend. He can stand up and interfere as much as possible.

The youthful Anthony is far from the point where he gets fat and jumps up and gets blocked by the basket in middle age. His athletic ability and physical fitness can be used as a flying talent, but he doesn't like to show his talent like Wade.

Triple threat, point up, jump shot, there it is.

Prince sticks close, it doesn't matter, lean your back, take a step back and shoot you away.

Two shots in a row made Prince's defense completely helpless.The little prince is very vigilant about every shot he makes, so Anthony only needs to shake Prince slightly, and then get an open jumper to score.

If you look closely, you can find that Anthony's heads-up method strictly follows the American heads-up rules.

It's just that there is no restriction on the scene to follow the rules of American heads-up.Anthony did this out of confidence in his own skills.

The two hit 11 goals in a row, and Anthony scored all of them. Didn't Prince defend well?No one would say that, he just defended too well, but he couldn't stand up to Anthony who was hot to the touch.

"He's mastered the whole offensive game at such a young age."

"As a freshman rookie, he can lead the team to win the championship with a core identity, and his leadership qualities are beyond doubt."

"His talent is no less than LeBron's, and his technical maturity is much higher than LeBron's. Judging from his performance in college, his psychological maturity should also be better than LeBron's. There is no doubt that he is the top pick."

"Compared to Dwyane?"

"He's healthier and doesn't have an injury risk."

"The technology is more comprehensive, and the immediate combat power is stronger. With Cameron's current immediate combat power, I would not be surprised if he averaged more than 18 points per game in the first season."

The scout team whispered to each other, while Mo Mengchen and Dumas stood in the general manager's office overlooking the bottom, watching the two people's trial training.

"Mo, your opinion is not wrong, these two people are really good people to make." Dumas said, "Which one do you like better?"

Wade, without a doubt.

If you just rely on impressions and don't consider subsequent development and personal encounters, it is undoubtedly Wade.

However, through last month's NCAA National Finals and today's trial training, Mo Mengchen's views have completely changed.

In any NBA draft, talent and potential are always prioritized.

In the NBA world, there are several things that fascinate the most: size, vision, organizational talent, and brains.

Shooting can be practiced.

Basic skills can be polished.

Everything that can be improved through training is not a priority.

The Cardinal famously said: "I can teach a player anything, but I can't make them grow taller."

The famous Japanese coach Moichi Tianoka once said to the famous Japanese center Jun Uozumi: "I can cultivate your physical strength and skills, but I cannot make you grow taller."

Some simple examples, 2008 is considered a great year for guards. Mayo, Gordon, and Augustine are all good shooting guards, but the number one pick is Rose, who has the most unreliable shooting among those guards.

In the 2010 draft, Wall and Turner's shots were unreliable, but the NBA just ignored famous shooters like Hayward.

In 2014, Jabari Parker was known as Anthony II, with an offensive kaleidoscope, and his technical maturity was far superior to that of Wiggins. The result?
Numerous examples can prove that talent takes precedence over technology.

The problem before the Pistons is this: Anthony has talent and skills, and the only thing missing is the right guidance.

Wade also has talent, but lacks shooting and has a serious injury risk.

If you don't open your eyes, choosing Anthony is an easy decision.

It was the great difference in the achievements and fates of these two people in their previous lives that made Mo Mengchen silent for a long time. In the end, he chose to believe in his own experience along the way.

"I think Cameron is good." Mo Mengchen said.

At this time, Anthony had already beaten Prince 20-0, and the scene was quite ugly.

Originally, they were only allowed to play 11 balls, but Prince had his head shaved by Anthony, so he felt embarrassed and asked to play again.

Anthony's hand feeling is too good today, no matter how much he casts, he can't miss it. Prince was just a little embarrassed at first, but now he has lost all face.

Salmons, a student in the same grade, was watching the joke: "I thought the rookie I met was already annoying enough, you have a more stinky fart!"

Prince was completely blown away.

When Anthony scored the 21st goal, Frauses was worried that Prince's confidence would be frustrated and stopped the heads-up.

"Cameron, you still need to do other tests, this is the end of this one-on-one match." Frauses turned to Prince and said, "Tyshawn, you did a good job, thanks to you, we can Seeing Cameron's talent."

He gave the two of them a step down, and Anthony went down the donkey along the slope, while Prince kept staring at Anthony.

"I thought you would choose Dwyane." In Dumars' view, choosing Anthony is not Mo Mengchen's style.

With Mo Mengchen's consistent style, he should choose Wade, who is not favored, and bring him out, thus proving his vision.

Except for Mo Mengchen, no one knew how big the difference would be in the achievements of the two if they developed normally. In this case, choosing Anthony was an easy decision.

"Why?" Mo Mengchen asked.

"Because it's more challenging," Dumars said. "I always thought you liked challenges."

"Challenging?" Mo Mengchen sneered, "You think I'm a masochist? I only make the right choice."

In terms of achievements, Wade is naturally the highest.

But in terms of plasticity and future development, if Anthony can be adjusted in the right direction, he can completely reverse the tortuous fate that happened to him.

This is the hardest way.

If he chooses Wade, Mo Mengchen will be more relaxed.

He doesn't need supervision, and within two years, Wade will be able to squeeze into the starting lineup.When he and Hill grow old, Wade will be able to take over smoothly and continue the glory of the Pistons with Curry.

That's not challenging.

The real challenge is to challenge the unknown, to challenge the conclusion that has already been settled, and to reverse it with personal power.

This is what Mo Mengchen has been doing since 1999.

Now that they have decided to choose Anthony, the Pistons must fight for the top three picks.

The Timberwolves will not let go of James. With the second overall pick in hand, the Magic can choose others at will. Turkoglu is gradually gaining a foothold in Orlando. They should not choose Anthony.

Milicic's public trial shocked the entire United States. Will the Magic be tempted?
It doesn't matter if you are not tempted, the big deal is that some rumors have been spread in the past few days, indicating that the Pistons will trade upwards and are determined to compete for Milicic.

The Magic likes to grab people from the Pistons so much, can they let it go this time?
For the Pistons, they must first strive for a higher draft pick.

The play had to be half-true, and the Pistons took the initiative to contact the Warriors with the third overall pick to discuss a draft pick deal.

The reason for choosing the Warriors is simple.

They have no shortage of players at small forward.

Not long ago, Wade tried out in Golden State and won a full house.

The whole Warriors team likes this energetic young man very much, but Wade's best predicted pick is the sixth, and he is almost eighth and ninth.

But their pick is No. [-].

To choose Wade with such a high pick, it is better to trade down in exchange for more benefits.

The Pistons took the initiative to send them to the door, and the pick was suitable. Of course, they would not refuse anyone.

The news that the two parties discussed the draft pick deal was quickly released by the Pistons unilaterally, in order to show that they are determined to win Milicic.

As long as the Timberwolves and the Magic don't cut off, they can choose Milicic. (no wonder)
What is puzzling is that after the news came out, no one cared who the Pistons wanted to choose. The biggest argument from the outside world about this matter is whether the Warriors can make the Pistons bleed as much as possible.

As the saying goes, big trees attract wind, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. The Pistons are already the public enemy of the league. Any team that can consume their vitality is a great benefactor to other teams.

The news released by the Warriors is: "We are actively following up the negotiations with the Pistons."

This means: Please rest assured, folks and elders, if I don’t bite off a piece of meat from the piston, how can I be worthy of the concern of the general public?
