the rest, only noise

Chapter 1281 The person most worthy of the championship

The first thing Louis did when he arrived in Cleveland was still to hold a meeting and vote.

But the meeting he held is closely related to himself.

In addition to selecting 50 superstars this year, the NBA will also select the top 10 coaches in history.

As a coach who is still active in the front line and holds seven rings, Louis' selection is inevitable.

After several rounds of voting without any suspense, the ten list will be released soon.

Reed Auerbach, Louie, Bill Fitch, Reed Holzman, John Kundla (John Kundla)⑴, KC Jones, Pat Riley, Jack Ramsey, Lenny Wilkens, Don Nelson.

([-]) Coach of the Minneapolis Lakers.

In addition, they also selected the ten greatest teams in NBA history.

分别是1964-65赛季波士顿凯尔特人、1966-67赛季的费城76人、1969-70赛季的纽约尼克斯、1971-72赛季的洛杉矶湖人、1982-83赛季的费城76人、1983-84赛季的波士顿凯尔特人、1985-86赛季的波士顿凯尔特人、1987-88赛季的纽约尼克斯、1992-93赛季的纽约尼克斯、1994-95赛季的迈阿密热火。

Among them, the Knicks in the 1992-93 season were voted the greatest team.

和25年前，媒体票选们1966-67赛季的76人为NBA25周年最佳球队引发的巨大争议不同，93尼克斯被选为NBA五十周年的最佳球队几乎没有受到质疑。

Only a few people think that the 86 Celtics and 95 Heat are better teams.

After this, Louie had no business during the All-Star weekend.

This [-]th anniversary celebration can be described as a carnival for Louisiana.

Both Billy Donovan and Tom Tomjanovich were nominated for top ten coaches. Although they were not selected in the end, considering their resumes, being nominated is the greatest recognition.

Many players under Louis' command were selected, and three of the teams he coached were named the top ten teams in the [-]th anniversary of the NBA.

The person who complained the most about this was Auerbach.

He felt that the '60s were neglected, that the '65 Celtics were the best team of the 65th anniversary, but no one even discussed whether the '[-] Celtics were the best.

"Okay, Reed, that team wasn't the best 25 years ago, how could it be the best 25 years later?" Louie said hypocritically, "It's just a false name, why bother."

Auerbach snorted, "Fame? You wouldn't say that if the 93 Knicks hadn't been voted the best."

"You're talking nonsense. I'm not as fussy as you are. Who doesn't know that I'm a loyal person, fair and at ease. This is a choice made by everyone. It's very democratic." Louis joked, "When you return to Boston, you can rate the 65 Celtics as the best there."

It's hard for Auerbach to imagine that the little scout who followed him to ask for funds has now become a giant who can change professional basketball.

"Hmph, just be proud of yourself, wait, sooner or later, your generation will also be forgotten by history." Auerbach cursed.

Louis joked: "Then you have to smoke less cigars and try to live until 2022. Maybe we will really be replaced by then."

2022 is a very distant future for Auerbach.

In that year, if he is still alive, he will be 105 years old, and he can be said to be one of the oldest people in human history. Even if all the brilliance and achievements of Louis today are replaced by future generations, how much interest will he have to applaud for it?
No, maybe he will also complain that the people of later generations do not respect the achievements of the previous generation.

Auerbach lit a cigar and asked, "Will everything in '2001: A Space Odyssey' come true by then?"

Auerbach's feeling of falling into the future was dispelled by Louis' words, "I don't know, but you can't wait for that day."

Then came the meet and greet with various stars.

The last time Louis was in charge of the All-Star team was in the late 80s, and now the All-Stars are not the same group of people he saw at the beginning.

At the top-floor restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel in Cleveland, Louie meets the Western All-Stars.

At a glance, they are Wilson, Barkley, Garnett, Jordan, Kidd, Penny, KJ, Iverson (rookie All-Star), David Robinson, Olajuwon, Mutombo, Richmond.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. I just came to say hello to you. Regarding the game the day after tomorrow, I hope everyone can perform well and bring a good show to the fans." Louis smiled lightly. "Of course, according to the usual practice, we will organize a group training before the start of the All-Star Game and prepare a few plug-and-play tactics. I hope everyone will be there."

no disagreement.

The current Louis is no longer the rookie who was questioned in various ways 12 years ago.

He won the NBA player's "verbal effectiveness award" with one championship after another.

What is the Oral Effectiveness Award?This is an honor, just like in Louie's previous life, whether it was a famous star or a rookie preparing for the draft, when asked about the Spurs, they would say that they liked the Spurs and were very willing to play for Popovich, thus creating an impression of "this kid watched the Spurs games at a young age, and he must have a good golf intelligence".

Louis is currently such an existence.

Every player verbally expressed their willingness to play for him. Now the opportunity has come. Louie coached the All-Star team again after many years.

Louis' arrangement has won the support and support of everyone. After all, with Bernard King as a lesson from the past, no one will be stupid.

After a few words of officialdom, Louis came to sit next to Wilson, because it was his place that was the most empty.

The only ones sitting with Wilson were Garnett, Barkley and Iverson on the same team.

"AI, are you familiar with Benj?" Louis asked casually.

Iverson said: "It's this kind of Coach. When I was in Georgetown, I watched my game."

"Oh, that's right, do you know Jasmine?" Louis chatted vaguely.

Then, Jordan was ready to come over and say hello.

As soon as he came to him, he heard Wilson say, "Mitch, this is the seat for champions."

Jordan was Wilson's favorite target, and to some extent it had become a personal feud.

Louis didn't want to make the sword tense, and then smoothed things over with a smile, "Benj, don't treat the Olympic champion as the champion."

"That's right!" Buckley nodded vigorously, "The Olympic champion is the real world champion. Let me tell you, I've long been tired of some people calling the NBA champion the world champion. I'm too arrogant and arrogant. The NBA is at best a professional league..."

Louis is willing to bet Ewing's sexual well-being for the rest of his life. If Barkley wins an NBA championship ring in the future, his rhetoric will definitely change.

At this moment, Louis could only taunt him: "You like the Olympic champion so much, you have to keep in good shape. I won't watch the Sydney Olympics in three years without you."

Jordan ultimately did not choose to sit.

If even Jordan is "not qualified" to sit here, others will not come here.

Wilson said that this is the championship seat. Unfortunately, he happened to be the only one of the twelve players selected to the Western Conference All-Star to win the championship.

In this way, no one can go to the table except his teammates.

Louis didn't want to see infighting among the Western Stars, but he had nothing to do with the tension brought about by Wilson and Jordan.

Then, he also looked away.

It is not his responsibility to keep the western star team in harmony. There is no need for harmony in this team. Everyone gathers together for a short time and soon separates.

Or, it is not the style of the Knicks players headed by Wilson.

It's Jordan's way of beating you up while making friends with you, while Wilson is only responsible for beating you up, it's up to you whether you make friends or not.

Therefore, so far, except for Barkley who took the initiative to establish a relationship, Wilson has not many people in the league who can really be called friends.

"To be honest," Barkley said after Jordan left, "I really think Michael deserves the championship. He has everything needed for a championship. Except for myself. If there is anyone I want to see win the championship, it is him."

Wilson didn't have a good look at this stupid pig with an elbow turned outward, but he didn't deny that Jordan was worthy of the championship, but if he didn't win it, he couldn't win it. So what if he was the most worthy of the championship in the universe?

Only Louis had an ambiguous smile on his face.

That's the fun part of this game, it's so fucking fun to keep the man who is the most deserving champion in history one step behind the championship.

Although the world will never know what it means for Jordan to have 1997 championships in 0, why should they know?This pleasure, he let someone alone.
