Reynolds Coliseum

Louis rushed from Boston to North Carolina State University's home court, and the Reynolds Arena is obviously much smaller than the Reynolds Arena, which can reach the 10,000-level seats in the future.

Under normal conditions, only 5,600 people can be seated.

What Louis didn't expect was that it was hard to get a ticket to this game.

Fortunately, he came here a day in advance to check out the spot, invited a female classmate from North Carolina State University to have a few drinks, and then betrayed her color, and asked the other party to help him get a ticket before he could get it into it.

Louis discovered that many teams sent their own scouts.

As long as you have the chance to get the No. 1 pick in June, you will basically pay attention to Sampson.

Louis saw at first glance that there were many acquaintances, including New Jersey scouts, Utah scouts, Golden State scouts, and even the general manager of the Chicago Bulls.

It is no wonder that Sampson is widely regarded as having Chamberlain's talent and the potential to become Russell's ultimate winner. As a combination of two giant beasts, he does not have the cynical, chattering, and groaning like Jabbar.

According to a scout, Sampson's NCAA debut a while ago directly beat a senior center with NBA potential.

He also sent out a shocking block on the upper edge of the rebound.

Tonight, the opponent's lineup indirectly set up a good stage for him.

North Carolina State does not have enough inside line, the largest starting lineup is Art Jones PF, which is six feet and seven inches. In terms of conversion, it is only 2 meters or 01.

"Road, you are here too!"

Louis knew who he said without looking at this voice.

Jack McMahon, this old man is here too. He is very strange because Philadelphia should not have such a high signing position.

"Uncle Jack, where are you running?" Louis asked with a smile.

"Ralph is the most unmissable player in ten years, so of course I want to come and have a look!" McMahon's conclusion was quite amazing.

But after thinking about it, although Magician and Bird are both excellent, at this time, people don’t know how much they will grow on this basis in the future.

And Sampson is indeed a talent that can be seen by the naked eye.

"You're optimistic about him, too?" Louis asked.

"Of course, and in fact, you don't have to observe him. This guy will definitely become a talent and will definitely not belong to you."

"Why?"

"Do you think he's the kind of short-sighted young man who jumps into the NBA after playing one or two years?" McMahon looks like a loyal fan of the rules of a player who has been in college for four years before he can participate in the draft. "He's very good and has a bright future, but he's still just an embryo."

Louis did not comment on this.

After McMahon talked to him, he returned to his seat.

After the competition began, Louis took out his pen and notebook.

In the game attacking the "Dwarf Kingdom", Sampson established his dominance from the beginning.

He blocked North Carolina State ace Hawkeye Whitney SG like a flying eagle.

Then, get off like a 1.8-meter defender.

"His agility is impressive, his hands are spread out like gliding against the ground, with a cat-like swift skill, incredible athletic ability, the best ever."

Louis couldn't believe he would record this observation report.

But unless a second 2.24-meter player demonstrates this athleticism in front of him, Sampson is the best in history.

The advantage that distinguishes him from other good people is this incredible athletic talent and exaggerated coordination.

Even more exaggerated is still to come.

Sampson took the ball from outside the paint area, took the ball and drove it for a while, and then rushed up, with his head suspected to be a flat basket, and he poured the ball into it.

From then on, the alumni who came spontaneously to cheer for North Carolina State felt that they had seen the most absurd things in the world.

Sampson, who is 2.24 meters tall, is the best inside player on the court, rebounder, blocker, stealer, attacker, defender... and the scene where he completed a high-level ball in the 10th minute of the first half, turning around and killing the basket with a heavy arm, made Reynolds Stadium silent.

"There are comprehensive skills, both left and right hands can dribble the ball, and can solve defense one-on-one like a defender in an open area."

"The shooting ability needs to be developed."

"The ball-holding ability is very outstanding, and he can take over the basketball and drive the ball through the half court for a short time."

“Have the ability to respond.”

"The body is thin and the ability to fight is insufficient, and the upper and lower limbs need to be hung with flesh..."

Louis has transcended from the original shock and looked at everything about Sampson from the perspective of a scout.

He admitted that Sampson had the talent to achieve greatness.

But he wants to play a metaphor that is inappropriate but Chinese fans can understand - just like Zhou Qi.

14-year-old Zhou Qi plays like a small forward, but is 2.11 meters tall. In the youth team, his confrontational disadvantages have not been exposed. His physical talent advantages and basic skills in practicing defenders since childhood have made him invincible and invincible in the world. Louis has no doubt that he was the first person of his age in the world at some stage before he was 15 years old.

From Liaoning to Xinjiang, the team never had a good plan for his growth. Louis admitted this. Later, he practiced the skills of the number two, practiced the skills of the number three, regarded himself as a Greek monster, practiced the space five in the Rockets, and was asked to be the core after returning to the national team... Such chaotic career planning and the slow pace of increasing meat caused him to be unable to make a living in the NBA and do not have the offensive ability at the CBA. He could only rely on his talent and defensive consciousness to become a top player at the Asian level.

In Louis' view, Sampson had the same problems and hidden dangers.

He is too comprehensive and has too diverse technology, and has too many possibilities.

From the third quarter, the game has become Sampson's slaughterhouse.

22 points and 14 rebounds, not over yet.

You know, the NCAA in 1980 was still playing the most primitive game without offensive time limits.

That is to say, they can drag on it infinitely in one round.

Due to the North Carolina State lineup, they must play fast, but playing fast can maximize Sampson's athletic talent.

Tonight will surely be a massacre.

“The future is unlimited.”

Louis originally wanted to use this as the conclusion of this observation report.

But he added: The future is unpredictable.

In the scout report, "unpredictable" is not a positive word, but a neutral word that is slightly biased towards derogatory meaning.

If it is a player like Beasley, Cousins, and Rashid Wallace, their scout reports are "unpredictable", and it is basically a scout warning each team that "this person has a problem with his brain, so be careful to choose."

If a destined quasi-no-no.com like Sampson, such a word appears, it means that he has no confidence in his future.

In the eyes of scouts and in the Observer's article, Sampson is the ruler of the next era.

But Louis cautiously gave him a conclusion that "the future is unpredictable."

Just like the sensation that Sampson has already brought to the NBA, many teams are coveting him, but in the current trend, few players will leave school and enter professional basketball in their freshman and sophomore stages.

Therefore, players always have time to hone their skills and make themselves stronger and then enter professional basketball.

Sampson is a piece of peerless jade that needs to be polished, but the university has not polished his soil.

Virginia also has no tradition of cultivating great centers.

Even if there is, it may not be cultivated.

Because he is different from those centers in history.

Everyone said Sampson could play five positions, including Virginia's coach, but no one would really let him play outside the inside. That idea was ruthless. He was taller than all super centers in history, but faster than them. His bounce might be inferior to Chamberlain, and he had skills that they didn't have... Everyone hoped that he would become a combination of Chamberlain, Russell, and Kareem and had some skills as defenders. But he was still a center.

Kevin Garnett was only the one that fans were familiar with in his time, and if it were in the 10s, he was another Greek monster—and we have reason to think he would be stronger than the Greek monster.

Sampson is like Garnett, a unicorn that surpasses the times.

Apart from Louis, no other person in this generation knows what path he should take. If he stays in college, goes to the junior year and then goes to the NBA, he will definitely waste his precious two or three years, and then he will likely join a team with the lowest record and desire him to become a savior. Such a team cannot cultivate people, they will only give you the right to the ball, and then whether it is life or death, his mission is to lead them out of the quagmire, and he will definitely not be able to do it because he can't even find his own position.

Thinking of this section, even if Louis didn't know the NBA in the 1980s, he knew why Sampson was a pride in heaven before he traveled through time.

Even if this person is not a genius like Oden who is destroyed by injuries, he may have disappeared for various reasons after briefly blooming his talent.

"It seems you've gained a lot today!"

After the game, McMahon was very happy and was happy that he had such a genius in the world.

He looked at Louis, "I found that the pen in your hand has not stopped."

"There is no way, Ralph's talent is so dazzling." Louis was telling the truth, but he was against his will.

McMahon's face was shaking with fat.

He was very glad, "It's a pity that you definitely won't get him."

"It's okay, it's an honor for us to meet such a player who is beyond the times."

McMahonjohn went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and Louis agreed.

In fact, there was still something in his heart that he didn't say.

And this is an important basis for him to not be optimistic about Sampson's future. Is there any difference between this world where no one can point out the way for Sampson, transcend the times and backward times?

The philosophers and scientists who were burned to death in the Middle Ages also surpassed their times.
