Chapter 997 Alliance Public Enemy Pistons

June 24

With three days left before the 2003 draft, the Pistons held their last trial.

The players participating in the trial were Cameron Anthony and Dwyane Wade.

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

The Pistons season is over, but these two rookies who have just finished their rookie season have been put into new preparations.

There is a summer league in mid-July, and they are leading the team as a sophomore. Therefore, they are still in a tense training state, which is considered to be endless all year round.

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

"Oh my God, this young man is jumping too high!" Assistant coach Charlie McCann said in disgrace, "The sky is his limit!"

Wade took the tomahawk and almost passed Salmons' body, and the tomahawk scored a dunk.

Joe Dumas saw the ball through the glass window of the general manager's office.

He opened his mouth wide.

Wade's physical talent was fully demonstrated. This was still the case when the meniscus was lacking. How terrible would this young man be able to stay healthy in college?

Anthony is the opposite of Wade.

It’s really a good person to have Prince and Anthony fight one-on-one. A person is tall and big, with a prominent arm span. He doesn’t like to jump up and defend. He can stand and interfere as much as possible.

The young Anthony is far from the point where he jumps into the basket after getting fat in middle age. His athletic ability and physical fitness can be used as a flying stream, but he doesn't like to show his talent like Wade.

Three threats, click, jump shot, have it.

Prince is close to you, it doesn't matter, lean on his back and take a step and jump shot away you.

Two consecutive shots made Prince's defense completely impossible. The Little Prince was very alert to every shot he made, so Anthony only needed a light swing to shake Prince and then scored an open jumper.

If you look closely, you can find that Anthony's one-on-one challenge method is to strictly refer to the American one-on-one rules.

However, there is no limit on the on-site to follow the American single-handed rules. Anthony did this entirely because of his own confidence in his own skills.

The two of them played 11 goals in a row, and Anthony scored all of them. Did Prince not defend well? No one would say that, he just defended too well, but when he encountered Anthony who felt hot, he couldn't resist it at all.

"He has mastered the full set of offensive skills at a young age."

"As a freshman, you can lead the team to win the championship as a core identity, and there is no doubt about the leadership temperament."

"His talent is no less than LeBron, and his technical maturity is much higher than LeBron. Judging from his university performance, his psychological maturity should also be better than LeBron, and he is undoubtedly the top scorer."

"What about Dwyne?"

"He is healthier and has no hidden dangers."

"The technology is more comprehensive, that is, the combat power is stronger. With Cameron's current combat power, if he averaged more than 18 points per game in his first season, I wouldn't be surprised."

The scout team whispered, while Mo Mengchen and Dumas stood in the general manager's office and looked down below, watching the trials of the two.

"Mo, your opinion is correct. These two are indeed craftable materials." Dumas said, "Which one do you prefer?"

Wade, no doubt.

If you only rely on impression flow and do not consider subsequent development and personal experience, it is undoubtedly Wade.

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

In the NBA draft, talent and potential are always preferred.

In the NBA world, there are several things that are most fascinating: body, vision, organizational talent, and mind.

Shooting, you can practice.

Basic skills, able to polish.

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

The Cardinal has a famous saying: "I can teach players anything, but I can't make them taller."

The famous Japanese coach Shigeichi Taoka also said to the famous Japanese center Jun Yusu: "I can cultivate your physical strength and skills, but I can't make you taller."

For some simple examples, 2008 was considered a guard's year. Mayo, Gordon and Augustine were all defenders who were good at shooting, but the No. 1 pick was Rose, who was the most unreliable in shooting among those defenders.

Wall and Turner's shooting baskets in the 2010 draft were not reliable, but the NBA just ignored famous shooters such as Hayward.

Jabary Parker in 2014 was known as Anthony II, attacking the kaleidoscope, and his technical maturity was far better than Wiggins, the result?

Numerous examples can prove that talent takes precedence over technology.

The problem facing the piston is as follows: Anthony is talented and skilled, but only has the right guidance.

Wade is also talented, but lacks shooting and has serious injuries.

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

It was precisely because the achievements and destiny 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 experience along the way.

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

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

Originally, they were just asked to play 11 goals, but Prince was shaved by Anthony and couldn't stand his face and asked to play again.

Anthony's touch today was so good that he would not lose it no matter how he made a shot. Prince was just a little embarrassed at first, but now he has lost all his face.

Salmons, a student in the same class, was watching a joke next to him: "I thought the rookie I met was already annoying enough. You have something even worse!"

Prince was completely blown up.

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

"Cameron, you need to do other tests, and this one-on-one ends here." Frauses turned around and said to Prince, "Tyshoen, you did a good job. Thanks to you, we can see Cameron's talent."

He gave the two a step down, Anthony went down the donkey, while Prince kept staring at Anthony.

"I thought you would choose Dwyne." In Dumas's opinion, choosing Anthony is not Momonchen's style.

With Mo Mengchen's usual style, he should choose Wade who is not favored and bring him out, which proves his vision.

Except for Mo Mengchen, no one knows how big the difference between the two people's achievements would be if they develop normally. In this case, choosing Anthony is a simple decision.

"Why?" Mo Mengchen asked.

“Because it’s more challenging,” Dumas said. “I always thought you like challenging.”

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

In terms of achievement, Wade is naturally the highest.

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

This is the most difficult road.

If Wade was chosen, Mo Mengchen would 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 definitely succeed and continue the Pistons' glory with Curry.

This is not challenging.

The real challenge is to challenge the unknown, and to challenge the ending that has been concluded, and it is reversed with the power of the individual.

This is what Mo Mengchen has been doing since 1999.

Since we decided to choose Anthony, the Pistons must strive for the top three picks.

The Timberwolves will not let James go. When the Magic holds the second pick, they can choose others at will. Tkoglu gradually gains a foothold in Orlando, and they should not choose Anthony.

Milicic's public trial shocked the whole of the United States. Will the Magic be moved?

If you are not moved, it doesn't matter. At worst, some rumors will be spread in the past few days, indicating that the Pistons will trade upwards and are determined to compete for Milicic.

Magic likes to steal people from the piston's hands so much, can we let it go this time?

For the Pistons, we must first strive for a more advanced draft pick.

The play must be done half true and half false, and the Pistons took the initiative to contact the Warriors with the third pick to discuss the draft pick deal.

The reason for choosing the Warriors is simple.

Their small forward position is not short of people.

Not long ago, Wade tried out in Golden State and won a lot of lottery.

The Warriors team liked this energetic young man very much, but Wade's best prediction ranking was sixth place, and the eighth place and ninth place were eighth place and ninth place were eighth place.

But they have the third place to sign.

It is better to trade downwards than to use such a high signing position to choose Wade in exchange for more benefits.

The pistons came to the door with the right signing position, so of course they would not refuse anyone.

The news of the two sides discussing a draft pick deal was soon released by the Pistons unilaterally, showing that they are determined to win against Milicic.

As long as the Timberwolves and Magic do not intercept them, they can choose Milicic. (That's weird)

What is puzzling is that after the news came out, no one cared who the Pistons wanted to choose. One of the biggest arguments outside about this is whether the Warriors can make the Pistons bleed as much as possible.

As the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Pistons are already public enemies of the league, and any team that can consume their vitality is the benefactor of other teams.

The Warriors released the news to the outside world: "We are actively following up on negotiations with the Pistons."
