the rest, only noise

Chapter 1176 What is he the best? (Thanks to Mystia's lord award from Dirty Wing)

After the small meeting, Louis left overnight.

Although the league invited him to watch the All-Star Game in the VIP area of ​​the Alamo Dome, he declined.

He's not interested in the All-Star Game.

Watching the All-Star Game live, apart from being able to meet a few old friends, has no other meaning.

Old friends can be seen anytime, and it's not worth wasting an extra day for it.

Time is like money, he would rather lie at home with Ge You all day than socialize.

What's more, what if there is any major transaction in these two days?
Regarding the league, Louie is only interested in one thing, and that is whether Stern will reward him with next year's No. [-] pick in exchange for his support for policy.

If Stern can make a decision early, then Louis would not only attend the All-Star Game, but he would also be willing to let him stay as a cleaner after the All-Star Games to clean up the arena.

Unfortunately, Stern didn't give him an answer, so Louis had no choice but to pat his ass and leave. He wanted to keep a certain distance from the other party.

As the saying goes, distance produces beauty.

Perhaps separating the distance between the two, Stern can feel his importance more deeply.

This is a bit like the battle-tested veteran Hui Fujiura-sensei, who was worried that her treasure would leave irreversible hidden dangers during the competition, so she decided to spend a year storing her eggs.This has left many fans disappointed. One year is long enough. Fortunately, she has left enough classic games to review the past and learn the new. Looking back on the past, her image has become brighter in the hearts of fans.

However, Los Angeles has been quiet for a long time. If hot news such as lunatics shooting people with guns, a black man being violently enforced by the police caused chaos on 26th Street, and major highways are still suffocatingly blocked can be ignored.

The Lakers' front office has nothing to do.

No deal.

Since Louie took office, few people have called to seek deals.

Because Louis is too skilled, it is difficult to get cheap from him.

Moreover, if Louis is very interested in the deal you proposed, then you really have to reflect on yourself.

This is the disadvantage of a high status in the world, Louis can no longer pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

When a colleague makes a deal with him, he will always have a hundred thousand whys of the workplace version in his heart.

Why is Leader Lu willing to make a deal with me?
Shouldn't I be doing this deal?

Is my player selection not that bad?
What is Leader Lu's plan?
Damn, as much as I want to make a deal, I don't want to ask for trouble like those idiots who got stigmatized because of Leader Lu...

After such a series of psychological activities, the object of negotiation with Louis often chooses to give up, just like those sober people who chase girls halfway and give up, and never hear from them again.

For a while, Louie suspected that there was a problem with his negotiating skills. It wasn't until he found out that the guy negotiating with him had made a stupid deal with another team that he was sure that it wasn't his negotiating skills that had declined, but his deterrence.

To his peers, he is an existence with full deterrence value.

Even if the transaction seems normal, as long as it is done with him, people can't help but think about it.

It is also for this reason that the Lakers spent a trade deadline that no one cares about.

Then there's the All-Star Game.

The Western Stars narrowly lost to the Eastern Stars.

The strange thing is that the two star players of the Western Conference Stars, Wilson and Jordan, both played well, but they still lost.

This has nothing to do with strength.

There's only one problem with the Western Conference Stars. While others see the main game as a game and a low-stakes show, Wilson and Jordan see the court as a continuation of their rivalry.

On the morning of the game day, when Jordan was interviewed, he said that he would win the AMVP.

When Wilson heard it, good guy, although we don't care about AMVP, isn't this stuff usually reserved for star players at home?Have you, Danzi, considered the feelings of the people of San Antonio when you said this?Ever ask Jamal Mashburn for his opinion?Do you know how to be polite?Do you know what is the guest's duty?
Since you don't know anything, I'll fight for the fat people in the holy city, AMVP, I want it.

I think you can see that Wilson is just making excuses for the AMVP thing.

But the man in disgrace is Jordan, and Wilson has perfect reason.

Moreover, he was not for the limelight, but purely for disgusting Jordan.

Although this motive is not simple, at most it is disgusting to Jordan alone. Jordan's actions disgusted countless San Antonio people.

Therefore, although the two were in full condition on the night of the game and were the most serious players in the game, they were not united and fought against each other, which eventually led to the Eastern Stars winning the game.

The most dramatic scene happened.

The man who won the AMVP trophy was - Patrick Ewing.

With 18 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 blocks, he won this trophy that lacks gold content.

Then, in a rare human voice, the orangutan said: "If they (the Western Stars) were more united, maybe we would have lost."

Barkley, who has always been at odds with Ewing, said sourly after the game: "Only a fool would go all out in the All-Star Game."

Sir Charles' words inadvertently spilled over to Wilson and Jordan.

Ewing didn't take it seriously: "This is what Charles would say. This is the reason why he can't win the championship so far. This is also the reason why he was kicked from Portland to Los Angeles. He and Michael couldn't succeed, but Benj and I were able to win seven consecutive championships. What can I say?"

In fact, he has already said a lot...

It's a pity that Wilson didn't win the AMVP, but Ewing won it, which seems to be pretty good.

Anyway, as long as the person named Jordan doesn't win the award, then he has no objection.

Why did Wilson have such a big opinion on Jordan?This has to start with the public opinion of the outside world.

Together, Wilson and Ewing created an impressive seven consecutive championships. They are the greatest duo in NBA history, but the strange thing is that they are not recognized as the number one small forward or center in history.

The first center is Sampson, and Jordan is the active player who has the greatest influence on the game from the perspective of high-level data.

Knicks haters usually believe that replacing Wilson and Ewing with other stars of the same level in the league, the Knicks will not have fewer championships.

Moreover, this group is huge in number.

In the United States, there are only two kinds of basketball fans, one is the Knicks fans, and the other is the fans who are hostile to the Knicks.No matter how large the Knicks fan base is, it is far less than the hostile group.

Not as good as Sampson, Ewing himself recognized it.

But Wilson had every reason to be indignant.

Why?Sampson has six championships. If he is a few years younger, he is still the monster who stuns all active centers. What does Jordan have?A person who has not won a championship in the 12 years since his debut, isn't it ashamed to be crowned the strongest by his idiot fans all day long?

Is it because my brother shot the Blazers with one foot in 1992 and let the Knicks complete five consecutive championships was not enough, or was it not shocking enough to crush Jordan with 1993 points in a single game in the tiebreaker in 66?
The best active player may not be him (Wilson), but it must not be Jordan.

In fact, the view that Wilson is not as good as Jordan was completely shaken after 1993, and now only the latter's fans think that Wilson is not as good as Jordan.

After Wilson left New York, those Knicks haters also began to recognize his ability.

With this season, Benj led the team to the No. 34 record in the Western Conference with an average of [-] points per game, and his personal ability has been more recognized.

Wilson's supporters can finally say with confidence that in the past, Wilson's statistics were relatively inconspicuous because he had to make sacrifices when playing in the Knicks.

This is why Louie let Wilson score points.

He also feels that if Wilson wants to completely crush Jordan in terms of reputation in the future, and even surpass Bird to be elected the best in history, he must have a personal performance season and win a championship before the Lakers' team is fully formed.

Time is running out for Wilson to prove himself.

This year's statistics, next year we have to find a way to win.

Louis also thinks so, but how to win the championship next year is a problem.
