the rest, only noise

Chapter 1106 Reappears after two years

Before the series started, everyone thought Miami would end New York's dominance.

Now that Miami really beat New York, the audience felt unreal.

Many people suspect that they are dreaming.

They don't deserve to live in a world where New York basketball gets beat.

The only basketball fans living in the real world that night were Miami Heat fans.

They were as excited as if they had won a championship.

At the scene of the game, the emotional reaction of the Knicks players to collapse was equally impressive.

Mohammad Rauf fell to his knees and wept bitterly.

Miller chose to leave early, he could not accept the team's failure.

Kemp hung the towel over his head, like a child eager to hide in another dimension.

Stevens' eyes were red.

Stockton wiped his face with a towel, and he couldn't tell if it was sweat or tears.

Ewing should be the only one who can accept this defeat.

他打了48分钟，得到26分24篮板7助攻5盖帽。

It can be said that his performance in this game overwhelmed Ralph Sampson, the unattainable one and only gentleman showing his old age under the erosion of time.

However, basketball games cannot be decided by one person.

Miami has the better 13.

"I believe Patrick would very much like to have a man named Benjamin standing by his side at this moment."

said Walter Fraser regretfully.

"He and Benjamin are a match made in heaven, but after they separated, they both tasted the taste of failure. They shouldn't be separated."

If Ewing heard what Frazier said, he'd call it bullshit.

Everyone said that his success is inseparable from Benjamin, but he only admits that his success is inseparable from Louis and New York.

However, Louis had already given him everything he could, and he had to walk the road ahead by himself.

That's what Louis said to him before he left.

Louis, who was far away in Los Angeles, also watched the live broadcast of Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals.

His mood shifted with this up-and-down game.

The Knicks' toughness is far beyond imagination.

This can only be truly felt when looking at them from a neutral perspective.

There are many teams that may have disarmed in such a desperate situation, but they persevered and kept the suspense until the end.

Knicks is so strong, like a tumbler, he must stand when he dies.

So when they did lose, Louie, like the audience, couldn't believe it.

is this real?
It took Louie a few minutes to accept this.

The Knicks' failure is not unacceptable, because the Heat are clearly stronger than their team.

If Wilson and Rodman were still there, the Knicks might have won the tiebreaker.

Hill couldn't get used to it.

His performance made New Yorkers wonder whether he can fulfill his talent.

According to Louie's observation, there are three main reasons why Hill played so hard.

His shooting threat is limited, and Louie's coaches will treat those players who are not threatening outside, just like Louie, and directly let them go.During the series, the Heat didn't care about Hill's shooting at all.

Although he has excellent explosive power and the first step of the league's top, but Hill often can only make a breakthrough, and then don't know what to do.

He lacks variation and likes to go straight.In college, talent can traverse the defense line, but not in the NBA.Especially for a team like the Heat, they will try their best to set up an ambush on the road.

The way Hill responded to the ambush was an unsteady pull-up jumper.

As long as he is not in the paint, Hill's breakthrough threat is limited.

He does have the potential to become the core of the ball, but to become a real core of the ball, his attack power needs to be greatly strengthened.

Then there is the most basic confrontation ability.

In order to have a sense of presence in this level of competition, he still needs 15 pounds of muscle.

As for the details, there are more issues. Although he has been in college for four years, he is still a player who only relies on talent to play. There are many areas that need to be improved.

A player like that would of course get lost in the Eastern Conference finals.

Louis can understand Hill's downturn, but New York City can't.

In fact, the day after the series ended, The New York Times put the blame for the loss on Hill with a lengthy article.

If you let Louis say, he thinks that the reason for New York's loss is Kemp.

As a superstar selected for the second team and first defense, he has nothing to do with Danny Manning.

Hill's pit concealed the fact that Kemp was blown up by Manning.

It was Kemp's first time carrying the flag, and his performance was not up to par.

But the media has already decided, let Hill take the blame, that's no way, who made his performance too dazzling?
The aftermath of the Knicks loss will have to reverberate for a while.

For the subsequent finals, the fans' expectations have faded a lot.

On the west side, it is still the Portland Trail Blazers who break through.

They got rid of the Clippers in six games.

It's just that no one is optimistic about their finals with the Heat.

Because in addition to the new aid Olajuwon, the Blazers are missing Thomas and Sabonis, and the original team is one year older.

In contrast to the Heat, they are a combination of old, middle-aged and young.

The Heat in the eyes of the public are like the Knicks in 1988.

After overthrowing the old dynasty, the only thing to do is to establish a new dynasty.

And how can the new dynasty be stopped by the Blazers, the second child of ten thousand years?
The elimination of the Knicks and the gradual intensification of the Simpson trial further reduced the attention of this year's finals.

Just as the Eastern and Western champions were actively preparing for the finals, the Lakers announced that Zhao Yuanzheng would no longer serve as the team's head coach.

However, Zhao Yuanzheng's career did not end there.

He will still serve as the assistant coach of the Lakers, and will also participate in some behind-the-scenes work.

The new coach of the Lakers has become a hot topic in the media.

Clearly, there is consensus on the answer to this question.

"Los Angeles is calling for a messiah." -- Los Angeles Daily News

To the embarrassment of the Los Angeles media, it was the New York media that had inside information.

The Post reporter who made a good deal with Louis broke the news: "Leader Lu, the president of the Lakers, will also serve as the head coach. This is the first time he has taken charge of the coach again after two years."

However, the Lakers did not send any news.

Officials have neither confirmed nor denied it.

The Los Angeles media directly made fun of it, thinking that the New York media was just playing around.

As a result, the reporter who broke the news came directly to ask and answer.

The reason why the Lakers have not moved is because there are still some internal issues that have not reached a consensus.

At the same time, the whistleblower also said that Leader Lu and the Lakers signed the largest coaching contract in the history of professional sports.

Moreover, this contract is for a period of five years.

If true, it means Louie will be coaching the Lakers between now and the turn of the millennium.

The turmoil sparked by the news is rare.

Never before has a coach sparked so much discussion.

Although Louis only rested for two years, the pattern of the league has changed drastically.

After a season of observation, Louis has an answer to the limits of the Lakers' current lineup.

David Robinson's ACL speeds up the process.

Louie and the Lakers do have internal disagreements.

The main difference is that Louie wants to rebuild drastically, and everyone else can be traded except for Wilson and Ellis.

West disagrees, because this year the Lakers have reached the semifinals and are only one goal away from the division finals. There is no need to rebuild, just strengthen.

Louie reiterated the assertion that "the glass is only half full of water" and exercised his executive power to end the discussion.

West didn't follow through.

"If you insist on this, I will cooperate with your work, but I hope to remain decent." West said, "For example, David, he paid a huge price for the team, we can't trade him at this time."

Louis still wouldn't do the thing of killing a donkey.

"Don't worry, Jerry, I'll wait for him to recover before making any further plans."

The internal dissent disappeared, and the Lakers also announced the day before the finals that they had signed a five-year contract with Louis, and the amount was kept secret.

As soon as the news came out, the Los Angeles media had mixed feelings.

This shows that the information source of the whistleblower in New York is true and reliable.

As local media, they have to wait until the official announcement to confirm the authenticity of the news, which is too passive.

On the same day, the Lakers held a press conference.

When a reporter from Los Angeles asked Louis if he was sure to lead the Lakers back to the Finals in the new season, he got an even more shocking answer.

"No, we will stay in the West in the short term, because I plan to rebuild the lineup, only Benj, Dell and David are not for sale."
