the rest, only noise

Chapter 1097 Let's Listen to the Mountain Shout and Tsunami
On the eve of Louie's jersey retirement ceremony, the Knicks beat the Orlando Magic away.

In this campaign, Stockton scored 11 points and 19 assists, and his personal assists exceeded 10000, making him the first player in history with tens of thousands of assists.

In Louie's first season in Los Angeles, the Knicks had a lot to adapt to.

The gaps between Wilson and Rodman also need to be filled.

From the data point of view, Ewing, Kemp and Miller filled their vacancies.

Now the Knicks have completely become an inside-driven team.

At the same time, Miller has been given a greater tactical status. In the past few seasons, he averaged no more than 18 points per game, and his average scoring this season has risen to 22 points per game.

Ewing, who did not have Rodman's points and rebounds, has once again become an insider averaging double rebounds per game.

Kemp has a tendency to take over Wilson's banner.

Currently, he is averaging 25 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game, leading the Knicks in scoring.

The most watched super rookie, Grant Hill, was cast aside just like the rookie coach Zhao Yuanzheng of the Lakers.

Lakers fans thought that if Louis came, the team's tomorrow would be there.

It turned out that the coach was Zhao Yuanzheng.

Knicks fans never expect Hill to replace Wilson's role as soon as he comes. It can make people feel that 30% of the conquerors are in the garden.

No matter how bad it is, the weakened version of rookie Benj can also accept it.

As a result, Hill had serious acclimatization in the Knicks.

There are three main points.

In terms of character, Hill is a good guy who lacks the aggressiveness that the core players of the Knicks should have, so he is destined not to become a player like Wilson.Because of his good temper, no one would take him seriously.

In terms of play, Hill's shooting ability is not up to the requirements of the Knicks.

The Knicks have long been used to Wilson's sense of presence that doesn't occupy the ball and can attract the attention of 1.5 people off the ball.But Hill is a person who needs the ball. With his current shooting ability, his off-ball effect is very poor.

However, the Knicks have so many leading brothers, there is no chance for him to let go.

Hill needs to seize limited opportunities to show his own characteristics.

His characteristics make fans feel suffocated.

There is basically no threat outside the three-point line, and he can shoot from the mid-range, but not at the level of Wilson.

The threat of breakthrough is indeed strong, but it is far from enough.

Finally, off the field.

Hill is a good boy with good character and academics, while Ewing, the boss of the Knicks team, is the gun king with a chaotic private life.

After Wilson left, Ewing was the only voice on the Knicks.

If you want to integrate into the team, you have to get into Ewing's circle.

Otherwise, you have to completely separate the things in the team from your own life.

Hill obviously can't be as nasty as Ewing, so he can only stick to his principles while trying to meet the expectations of New York fans, and then averaged 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

It can be said that Hill is not acclimatized in New York.

This reinforcement completely failed.

The Knicks don't have any reason to be optimistic about the future, with monsters like the Heat emerging in the East.

If Hill can't make up for Wilson's gap, it's hard for them to beat the Heat.

Knicks fans are snobbish.

The New York media is mean.

They won't make things easier for Hill.

Coming to New York again, Louis intuitively felt the fans' dislike of Hill.

They didn't like the way Hill was pretending on the court. They didn't want to see Hill laughing and joking with everyone like he was the most polite person in the world. They needed a player like Benj.

How would Benj treat guests coming to New York?

Listen, Benj will walk up to the other guy, defy the core, and say shit like "Who are you guarding me tonight? I'm going to get 50 points on you."

Hill would never do that.

It also doomed him not to be able to do what Benj had done in New York.

Louie went to his hometown in Manhattan with his family.

Afterwards, Louis went out to meet up with old friends.

He met Rudy, Baylor, Lao Mo and others successively.

Followed by Ewing, Kemp, Miller and others.

With Rudy and the others, Louis is more reminiscing about the past.

When meeting Ewing, Louie didn't laugh at him as planned, because instead of letting each other relive the "beautiful" yesterday, they hoped to look back on the days when they won together.

Maybe this is the beauty of distance, Louis feels that Ewing is getting more and more mature.

Although his lace off the court is still the focus of New York media attention, but on the court, he is an impeccable leader.

Louie also asked about Hill.

As for Hill, Ewing just shook his head and reluctantly said: "Although he is very talented, he is far behind Benjamin."

When the Knicks decided to choose Hill, Louie was still a member of the decision-making team.

He didn't expect Hill to be so incompatible with the Knicks' style at the time.

If so, the Knicks faced serious challenges in the second half of the 90s.

Especially after Ewing starts to age, the Knicks will rely more on Kemp and the young people on the bench.

If Louis is still there, maybe Hill has been put on the trading agenda.

Even in order to sell Hill for a good price, he even scored some of his ball possessions to show off his talent.

But now the Knicks have the same problem as the Lakers. They don't have the ball to level up for rookies.

Brushing data is even more impossible.

Louis's impression of Hill is still in the dream team training period.

I thought he could at least be a strong addition to the Knicks, but now it seems that this is just the luxury of Louis and RC Buford.

Louie's speech was scheduled after the game.

Because if it is arranged before the game or at halftime, the live broadcast of the game must be taken into account, thereby shortening the speech.

The scene hopes that Louie can say all the words he wants to say.

So it is most appropriate to arrange it after the game. Fans will never leave early. That is Leader Lu.

Then, it's game time.

Fans filled every corner of the Garden, cheering Wilson more than any other Knicks player when he entered.

Ewing is obviously a bit sour, Wilson is no longer here to play, but the fans still like him.

When Louis and his wife came to the scene, the atmosphere in the garden suddenly escalated.

That feeling, like a great big shot.

Celebrities headed by Spike Lee waved their arms, causing the fans to shout the slogans they had agreed upon.

"Coach, my coach, welcome home!!!"

(Coach, my coach, welcome home!)

Everyone who came to the scene could feel the fans' love for that "coach".

Louie kept waving to the fans, signaling them to sit down.

But they still stood and continued to shout that slogan.

Then, Ewing realized that the King of New York was never him or Benj.

King of New York is Louie.

New Yorkers don't even like to call him "King," he's New York's Messiah.

Ewing can be the boss of the Knicks, but he can't replace the Messiah.

This is Louie's permanent legacy in New York.

Because of Louie, the game between the Knicks and the Lakers was delayed by 10 minutes.

When the game started, the smell of gunpowder on the court appeared all at once.

In the first round, Wilson turned away from Hill, went straight to the basket, and scored a dunk on Ewing.

"This is for you, King of New York!"

Benj scoffed.

Ewing quickly caught the ball through the open pick-and-roll on the offensive end and returned a mid-range shot.

The Knicks' defense has been full of intensity from the beginning.

Both sides want to win this game.

The Knicks want Louie to see how good they are, and the Lakers are purely trying to blow things up.

Hill also showed his personal talent in the second half of the game.

At that time, Ewing was replaced, and the Knicks had Kemp and Kukoc on the inside. When two forwards who could shoot three-pointers opened up on the outside, his first step was as quick as lightning.

Pippen was shaken and watched Hill dunk and score.

Starting from the third quarter, the intensity gradually became unbearable for the Lakers.

As a result, Dell Ellis stepped forward and scored three points.

Spike Lee couldn't help but snarled at Miller: "Reggie, do you fucking bastard know how powerful Dale is?"

Miller also entered the state immediately, responding to the big director with a three-point rain.

But Kemp is so good, he's a whole other level of player.

He was only an All-Star last year, but now he has the strength of a superstar and is expected to move towards a superstar.

Seeing his growth, Louis suddenly felt that the Knicks didn't seem to be unable to compete with the Heat.

Now Kemp does not seem to be worse than Manning.

In the end, the Lakers also lost to Kemp. His matchup advantage was ridiculously large, and no one could guard against him. He blasted 43 points and 19 rebounds, leading the Knicks to win the game by 6 points.

After the game, the scene quickly set up the stage, and the team star Walter Fraser gave a speech.

But Louie didn't hear him, because the screams from the garden drowned out everything in between while Fraser was speaking.

Louie can only understand the situation through Fraser's gestures.

When Frazier's hand waved to him, he knew he was going to play.

Louie came out, and when he took the first step, the noise that was already seriously challenging the eardrums became more penetrating.

Louie's children were terrified.

Lorraine had to cover her daughter's ears with her hands.

But Lu Wuxia refused the adults' help, he thought that he could bear such a fiery love.

In the end, he was so frightened that his legs went weak.

Louis walked to the front of the stage and silently recited the draft he had prepared.

"Thank you!"

He took the microphone and said.

The cheers, screams, whistles, "Coach, my coach" all show no sign of stopping.

"thank you very much."

The fans' love intensified.

"I am grateful."

It gradually became clear to Louis that no matter what he said, he could not quiet the garden.

He suddenly felt that he didn't need to prepare anything.

Rather than saying that he came to thank others, it is better to say that this is a stage carefully prepared for fans.

Fans have a lot to say to Louie, but they obviously don't have a chance to talk to him one-on-one, so screaming is the best way to express it.

Louie really didn't have to do anything, it was all love here, all he had to do now was enjoy it.

Let's listen to the roar of the mountains and the tsunami.
