the rest, only noise

Chapter 1050 She Actually Knows Everything

Lorraine found that Louis has often suffered from insomnia recently.

Her husband is not an anxious person, and insomnia rarely occurs to him.

The things that make him lose sleep are usually very important.

For example, his team fell behind by a large margin in the playoffs and was about to be eliminated.

Or there are conflicts in the team that are difficult to bridge.

But now, the Knicks are doing well.

Oddly enough, the Knicks have been on another team since Mohamed Rauf was suspended.

No team can stand in their way.

This should be what Louis wants to see, even if he is not the coach, this team is still very good.

Finally one day, Lorraine was startled by Louis' insomnia.

Louis actually got up for a run in the middle of the night because he couldn't sleep.

When Louis came home sweating profusely, he found his wife in her pajamas watching TV on the sofa in the living room.

"Marlena, aren't you already asleep?"

Louis asked unexpectedly.

"My husband suddenly disappeared from the bed, if you were me, would you still be able to sleep?"

Lorraine meant to break the casserole and ask the end.

"I went out for a run, and the sweat on my body is the best proof."

"What are you going to do after the run?"

"Maybe something to eat?"

"Isn't that a waste of time?"

"I don't run to lose weight, I run for anxiety."

"So now you're also overeating because of anxiety?"

Louis felt that he was a little bewildered, and he was not so entangled when he left Boston.

No, it only took him an instant to make that decision, without any hesitation at all.

"Honey, what are you worrying about?" Lorraine asked.

These days, Louis has always been hiding his thoughts, and there is no one to tell them.

He suddenly discovered his stupidity, the person he could tell his thoughts to was right in front of him.

"Did you know my contract with the Knicks expires next summer?"

Lorraine never thought that Louis might leave New York, because he had made great achievements in this city and had no reason to leave.

Tomjanovich shouldn't be ashamed that he never got to know Louie, because even Louie's wife didn't know him that well.

"Don't they want to renew your contract?" Lorraine made an astonishing assumption and came up with an absolutely impossible possibility.

The Knicks won't renew the contract with Louie?
Even if there is a possibility of this matter, it is not impossible at all.

Louis shook his head and smiled: "No, they want me to renew the contract, it's my problem."

"What's your problem?" Lorraine joked, "Don't you want to renew your contract with them?"

Louie's answer was enough to shock her wife for months: "I do think so."

"Uh?"

Lorraine made a bewildered expression that she could never make in a film and television drama.

Reality always trumps drama, that's for sure.

"why?"

"It's hard to explain," Louie would try to explain to Lorraine. "I've climbed as far as I could in New York, and since then, no matter how hard I try or what I do, I can't get there again. Because they're just standing there, Marina, you know that feeling? I'm never going to get there again because they're good enough."

Louis thought that Lorraine would not understand that feeling.

Actually, she understands, and, it's not that hard.

Lorraine doesn't know the tricks in the basketball world, but she knows the plight of these geniuses who have touched the ceiling.

Like Cary Grant and Greta Garbo, they both exited the stage at what they considered their best times.Not all of us voluntarily give up our greatest achievements.

In Lorraine's view, the closest thing to Louis's situation is Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee's only novel, which has become a must-read classic for generations.When people ask her why she doesn't write anymore, her answer is that she can no longer get into that state, and can no longer withstand the pressure and publicity.

This time, Lorraine really understood Louis.

People always say he is Auerbach of New York, but he was never Auerbach.

Auerbach is the Katharine Hepburn in the NBA. They stand at the initial starting point and chase the peak for a long time.

It took Auerbach 40 years to establish himself as immortal.

It took Katherine 60 years to win four Oscars for Best Actress, making her unquestionably the greatest actress of the 20th century.

They have their own ways, and so does Louie.

Louie was luckier than Harper Lee. He had a career that would allow him to start again in another place.

"No matter where you decide to go, no matter how you decide, my children and I will not be your hindrance." Lorraine smiled. "The only resistance you have at home is your mother. She likes her neighbors in Manhattan so much."

Who doesn't like it?But Louie felt that what his mother liked more was that she was exempted everywhere she went.

Few old people can refuse the temptation of 95% free bill.

Louis smiled bitterly: "I haven't made a final decision yet, but, Marlena, I'm very touched to hear you say that."

"Are you still insomnia?"

"Probably not, but I need to take a shower first." Louis asked amorously, "Do you want to come together?"

※※※

The 1994 NBA All-Star Weekend was held in Minnesota.

Sounds funny, Minnesota?
Who wants to play in that place?
Since joining the NBA for four seasons, they have basically been at the bottom.

After Jerry Krause entered the management team, although the talented defender Kenny Anderson was selected in 1991, he was the predecessor of Kyrie Irving, a player who played well but you couldn't expect him to lead the team to win.

What's more, his head structure is similar to that of Owen.

But he doesn’t have an outdated king from Akron to take him to win the championship, nor does he have a strong brother like Durant, and he doesn’t have a strong enough religious belief to avoid bad habits that will affect his competitive state.

Anderson became the first All-Star player in Timberwolves history.

Klaus is delighted, and he regards Anderson as his achievement for the Wolves.

However, people still don't know why he chose Rafonso Ellis in 1992 over Laettner.Today, although Ellis once averaged 17 points per game, his style of play relies too much on his body and he inevitably suffered serious injuries in the end.

All professionals know that once a player like Rafonso suffers a serious injury, he will never go back to the past.

It can be said that Klaus escaped a catastrophe, because Lafonso initially realized his talent before being injured. People will not say that he is blind, but only that he is unlucky.

Although Krause has been telling his boss to be patient, his boss is thinking about moving the team to another city.

You know how Timberwolves fans reacted to that?

A senior fan among them wrote an article, rather a slamming article against the Timberwolves. The core of the article: "No one will be sad for the departure of a team that loses 50 games a year. Thank you for finally leaving. Minnesota doesn't need basketball. We have the Vikings and the Twins."

Of course Louie knew the Timberwolves didn't make the move, but he was still surprised to learn about it.

He really didn't think Minnesota was a good place to play basketball.

Whether it's the local culture, the weather, or the vibe of white supremacy, it doesn't sit well with a black-dominated NBA team.

Closer to home, this All-Star Game, the Knicks have a total of five players selected, namely Ewing, Wilson, Kemp, Stockton and Miller.

The selection of Stockton and Miller sparked controversy.

因为他们的数据都不起眼，一个场均12分3篮板11助攻，一个场均16分4篮板3助攻，被他们挤掉的是穆奇·布雷洛克和杜马斯。

Lewis Shafier therefore complained that the Miami people were not loyal enough, because the current All-Star is really a voting game, and whoever supports more people will enter.

Dumars and Blaylock were brushed off simply because there were too few votes.

Compared to Shafier blaming the fans, Indiana's Blaylock is very straightforward: "If I also betray my teammates under the lens of the media, just because I want to prove that I am a patriot, and my teammates are a hater, I will also be popular."

Blaylock spoke the truth.

Judging from the voting trend, before January, Stockton had more votes than Bray Rockby, and even BJ Armstrong had higher votes than him.

After Rauf's illness, Stockton's impassioned patriot speech made him capture the hearts of fans and lock him into the All-Star Game.

The five Knicks were selected to the All-Star roster, which was an achievement that Louis did not achieve during his coaching period.

But in the end, the Eastern Stars lost the game because they were not united enough.

The Western Conference star team won by 12 points. Lakers forward Scottie Pippen had a triple-double and was elected AMVP.
