the rest, only noise

Chapter 1006 Fuck, it's Pepsi
When Louis returned to the hotel, he closed his eyes and was not sleepy.

Because he's preoccupied with the series.

The big question now is, how is this drama going to go?

2比3落后，虽然没有当年1比3落后凯尔特人那么让人绝望，但也是1988年以来尼克斯在季后赛里遭遇的最不利的局面。

Regardless of whether Ewing can stand up and become the leader of everyone as Louis thought, it has now reached the stage where Louis must intervene.

He'd have to be hysterical like he was after Game 1988 of the [-] Eastern Conference Finals.

But so far, he has no motivation to behave like that.

Because on the bright side, the game that the Knicks lost on the bright side does not have a big slot.

Louis agrees with the so-called view from the outside world that the Knicks have little room for adjustment.

But looking back at the Eastern Conference finals in 1988, didn't the Knicks still get beaten 1-3 by the Celtics after all the means were used?
There is really no room for adjustment in tactics.

But there is room for improvement in players' motivation, execution and chemical reactions.

Louie tossed and turned on the bed and found that there was a clear difference between this time and the one in 1988.

In 1988, he didn't choose this method on purpose, but was cornered by those bastards in Boston.

The so-called dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, that's it.

If you want to compare it, this time is more similar to the 1983-84 season when he reorganized the Celtics.

At that time, after all, he had just debuted, young and energetic, and boasted to Auerbach, and with Bird and Sampson as the two basic players, he could naturally PUA Thomas without any worries.

This is the first time that both passive (subsequent development is out of control) and active (self-chosen) situations have occurred.

What keeps Louie awake is that this proactive approach deprives him of the fire that ignited the team in 1988.

He can't just stand aside and watch, if he wants to ignite the explosive barrel, he needs a firecracker from him.

So what now?He is not angry at all.

Louis thought about it, and there was only one way.

Since it was getting late, he had to let himself fall asleep first. This method required the cooperation of others, and it had to be someone who knew him well.

Louis tossed in bed alone until four o'clock in the morning before falling asleep in a daze, and then woke up automatically at eight o'clock.

He obviously didn't sleep enough at all, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

He yawned and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Through the mirror, he saw his current appearance.

His hair is disheveled, his stubble is growing, and his eyes are not sharp.

"Clap!"

Louis took the cold water in his hand and patted his cheek.

He shaved off the beard on his face, and then looked at his own face. Although the eight-year struggle with the belly had always been won or lost, he maintained his basic posture, did not allow the fat army to plunder further, and kept this handsome face that allowed him to kill a hundred people within half a year after crossing.

"Change to a younger hairstyle. People will believe that I am 18 years old."

Someone is talking to himself.

The moment he walked out of the bathroom, Louis was much more awake, and he called home.

The person who answered the phone was Li Xuanbing.

"Mom, is Lorraine home?"

"It's been almost a week since I left home, so it's rare to find a wife just by calling home?"

"Mom, I've been too busy with work recently, and I really don't care much about you. I will make up for it when the season is over. Can you call Lorraine for me first?"

"Understood, you miss your daughter-in-law."

Finally, Lorraine answered the phone.

Judging from the speed at which she answered the phone, she should be right beside Li Xuanbing.

As soon as Lorraine said "Hello", Louis took the lead: "Listen, dear, don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next."

"Honey, you know I'm an accomplished actor, so whatever you have to say, I won't be afraid."

"I'll go home later, and when I get home, you're going to do everything possible to make me angry, you know?"

"Annoyed you?"

Lorraine had never heard such a weird request from Louis.

She also thought that Louis was typing some kind of code word, so she misunderstood the meaning. Since her mother-in-law was by her side, she said shyly, "Do you want me to wear that?"

"It's not that kind of anger, it's just that you make me angry, Malena, it's literally making me angry, but don't worry, I won't really lose my temper with you, you just need to make me angry!"

After Lorraine hung up the phone, he frowned tightly.

Li Xuanbing was even more surprised: "What did that kid tell you, he was grinning and frowning at the same time."

Lorraine said puzzledly: "He told me to make him angry"

"Then what are you laughing at?"

"I thought he was joking with me."

Obviously, Lorraine didn't know him as well as Louis imagined. At least, Lorraine had no clue about making Louis angry.

It takes five hours for a general civil aviation plane to travel from Portland to New York. Nix took a special plane, which departed at nine o'clock in the morning and arrived before twelve o'clock.

Louie not only came home early, but also had lunch.

As a result, Louis was disappointed. Not only did Lorraine not make him angry, but he also asked for his care, trying to get him out of the shadow of defeat.

The problem is that he has no shadow at all.

"Marlena, are all your Italians irritated by red sauce?"

Louis made a point of speaking Mandarin in an odd accent.

Lorraine has also basically mastered the spoken Mandarin in these years⑴. Except for the heavy accent, communication is basically no problem.

"Aren't you used to it?" Lorraine also used Mandarin.

"No, I'm used to it. In fact, except for not making me angry, I'm basically satisfied with your performance."

Louie had given up, it was a strange thing indeed for his wife to piss him off.

This time of year is the time when Louis's family is the most complete.

Both children are on summer vacation, and in order to be able to accompany them during the vacation, Lorraine basically doesn't take plays during these two months.

Everyone was there except Wang Zhizhi, who went to other places to participate in the competition.

After lunch, Louis decided to chat with the two children at home.

But he needs to be a listener first before he gets involved in the sibling conversation.

This topic was brought up by Lu Wuxia.

"You know what, Patrick Ewing's son is so cool."

Lu Wuyan: Huh?
"He kept the family dogs and cats in the freezer."

Louis was confused. What does this have to do with being cool? From the description, does Ewing's son seem like a little devil who likes to cruelty to animals?

Lu Wuyan: なんだって? ("What did you say" in Japanese), kitten?How do you know it?
"I went to his house yesterday and saw it with my own eyes."

Lu Wuyan: How did you see it?
"I just saw it with my own eyes."

Lu Wuyan: He actually put dead dogs and cats in the refrigerator?
"It's not dead, it's alive. I played with them yesterday."

Lu Wuyan suddenly became excited: "Bakayarou, the lowest da (breathing fragrance), he actually locked the living animals in the refrigerator? How could this be possible?"

"no"

Louis heard this and left silently.

He has three thoughts.

The child's world is innocent, so he, a guy polluted by colorful thoughts, should not participate in it.

It's time to limit the frequency of my daughter's watching animations of the island country. This mouth is Japanese at the senior level. What kind of trouble are you trying to make?
He really wanted to tell his son that what he thought was interesting might not be interesting to his sister at all, or to put it more cruelly, that her sister had barely listened to him until he said that the cat and dog locked in the refrigerator were alive.
Louie finally found that he was a little idle.

Since there is nothing to stay at home, it is better to take care of yourself and leave for the Blue Palace early, there are still a lot of things in the team.

So, he decided to give himself a new hairstyle first.

Louis came to the most famous barber shop nearby, where teacher Tony had designed hairstyles for many stars.

When Louis proposed "give me a haircut that will make me 10 years younger", the other party smiled and said: "Coach Lu, what stimulated you?"

"I just want to be younger."

"Okay, then look, I have a lot of templates here."

Louie selected a hairstyle called "The Heartthrob" from many templates.

This hairstyle is no longer as simple as making him look younger, it's almost as evil as Chen Kun in "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate".

"It's him!"

"The Heartthrob" is as glamorous as its entire name implies.

In the 90s, all good-looking men wore this hairstyle at some point.

Louie, 33, did "The Heartthrob," and if nothing else, it's going to be in the news.

"Anthony, do you think this hairstyle suits me?"

Louie asked the barber after ten minutes of narcissism in front of the mirror.

"Believe me, dear Coach Lu, even if Johnny Depp met you, he would have to stay away."

"Hahaha, just based on this sentence, your season ticket in MSG can be renewed until the 21st century."

Louis came home, his hairstyle made Lorraine cover his mouth, Li Xuanbing frowned, Lu Wuxia was stunned, and Lu Wuyan cried.

"I don't want you to have this hairstyle!" Lu Wuyan cried, "Change back, Dad!"

It is said that children have a habit of recognizing adults. If an adult changes too much in order to improve his image, it will be as terrifying to a child as if an adult in his memory suddenly turned into a stranger.

Louis didn't expect this, but judging from his daughter's reaction, he had achieved the effect of his new hairstyle, and this earth-shaking change was necessary. As for his daughter's tears and fright, that was just the price that had to be paid.

Which child's childhood has no shadows. As an old father who loves her deeply, letting her have a complete childhood is also a manifestation of father's love.

When Louis went out, Lorraine specially brought him a drink.

That is a necessity in his life - Coke.

"Honey, although you didn't make me angry, I won't blame you, which means you love me."

Louis said emotionally.

Lorraine gave him a kiss: "I really love you."

Louis took Coke, went to the garage, and drove to the Blue Palace alone.

It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, and only a few people have come.

Louis greeted them and went straight to the office. As an unprofessional actor, how could he turn himself into a demon?This is a test of acting skills.

Louie decided to take a Coke.

When he opened the bottle cap as usual and took a sip into his mouth unprepared, the liquid entered his mouth, and he instantly realized something was wrong.

Shocking, unbelievable, disgusting, painful - shit, it's Pepsi!
Louis vomited directly on the floor, turned it over and looked, it was clearly the packaging of Coca-Cola. Although it was bottled, the taste could not be so different, let alone be so similar to Pepsi.

"Is there something wrong with my taste?"

Louie decided to take another sip.

This sip made him sure that this disgusting bottle was Pepsi!

Then, Louis noticed that the wrapping paper on the bottle was not firm. When he opened the package, he found that there were traces of the wrapping paper being torn inside, and the traces were still red.
The perpetrator of the prank was afraid that he would not know whose masterpiece it was, and left this sentence in the place where the packaging was not completely torn:

"Mr. Lu, Pepsi is the best cola in the world." (scribbled Chinese, suspected old mother's handwriting)
What does it mean that the person who loves you the most often hurts you the most?

Louie now knew what the words meant.

An extremely simple prank by Lorraine "Marlena" Molina, directly caused Coach Lu to pump up his blood pressure in the office and want to find someone to vent his anger on.

⑴In fact, it is mainly because Lorraine wants to understand the Chinese dialogue between Louis and Li Xuanbing. Here is a supplement to the main text.This footnote is specially prepared for the very few who may ask "Why didn't Louis learn Italian?"
