the rest, only noise

Chapter 182
Chapter 181

Louis had trouble sleeping, both at home and in his apartment in Lorraine.

In the middle of the night, he dreamed that the Celtics collapsed due to internal conflicts and inexplicably lost the playoffs.

He woke up with a start, because Lorraine was sleeping with him like a cat, so when he woke up violently, he would inevitably startle his bed partner.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Lorraine asked.

"Yeah" Louis didn't deny it.

"In Italy, having a nightmare is a sign that something good is going to happen in reality," Lorraine said.

Interestingly, in China, dreams allude to reality, giving people a warning meaning, otherwise the ancient emperors would not have to find someone to interpret their dreams.

Although most of the cases are nonsense, Louis is really thinking day by day and dreaming by night.

"Hope you're right." Louie got out of bed and drank.

Lorraine hugged Louis tightly and smiled: "Of course, I'm always right."

Louis checked the time, it was only 03:30 in the morning.

But he didn't feel sleepy, and he was still a little hungry.

"Why are you going?" Lorraine asked.

"I can't sleep, I want to eat something, go to sleep." Louis put on thick cotton slippers and a coat.

It's January, and the snow season in Boston is almost over, but the temperature is still very cold.

In Lorraine's apartment, only the bedroom has heating, and Louis installed it for her, and the living room only has the air conditioner (without heating function) that is not needed at this time.

Louie went into the kitchen and ordered himself a bowl of noodles.

He is not very good at cooking, and the way to eat noodles is also very simple, just boil the noodles and mix some sauces to eat.

Of course, Coke is absolutely indispensable.

It was too cold, and there was no heating in the living room. Louis opened the iced Coke and served it with hot noodles, feeling the duality of fire and ice.

He also turned on the TV and played a videotape.

Tapes of Lakers games from the 1981-82 season.

To be precise, it is the video of Paul Westerhead's game after get out of class.

The current situation of the Celtics has also been experienced by the Lakers.

The contract that Buss gave to Magic, the relationship between Magic and Buss, and the media's over-love of Magic to over-underestimation.

There is nothing special about the content of the game. The frequency of applause on the Lakers bench, the extent of the celebration, and whether the players on the field will high-five are all details that can tell whether there is a problem within the team.

It's a pity that Louie couldn't see how the Lakers resolved their internal conflicts.

They just chased Westhead away, returned to Show time, and the pace of the game picked up again. This is the magician's appeal, and it is also an offense that makes the entire Lakers feel comfortable except Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Abdul-Jabbar is uncomfortable because he doesn't like a lot of running. He is so arrogant and pretentious. He obviously has everything but despises everything he has. For him, basketball is just a tool to make money.

So he was put on shackles. He doesn't like basketball, but he has a sense of responsibility. He feels that no one is worthy of him, but he never blames his teammates for losing, but only blames himself.

He is the superstar who has made fans and the media most uncomfortable in history, and is also one of the top ten players in history. He is a natural team superstar.

Because it is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers changed the system twice during the season. The undoubted star star did not publicly express dissatisfaction, which became a problem for the team.

After that, winning the game resolved the Lakers' internal crisis.

They won the championship that year, and Magic won the second FMVP to justify himself.

The problem of the Lakers is much simpler than that of the Celtics, and the time for them to face the problem is also earlier than that of the Celtics.

Although the media all over the world are rushing to promote the charm and leadership of Magician, and posters of his sunny smile can be seen everywhere on the West Coast, few Lakers players will question him.

His smile can affect Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a mean and cruel bald donkey, and other teammates will naturally be alone.

The problem with the Celtics is the more acute racial problem.

But the root of the problem is not internal, but external.

Public opinion deliberately hypes the confrontation between Bird and Magic, and they must be the number one player of their respective teams.It is also true that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has never been liked by the media, and Bird has the potential to become Kareem Abdul-Jabbar II in response to interviews.

He's arrogant, but those traits are annoying in Kareem.

What about a white superstar?

Hehe, these idiots are probably not so filial to their own father, they call Bird "Legend Larry".

It’s no wonder that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has suffered and hated all day long, and will publish his autobiography a year later, and in it he will be as bitter and bitter as a depressed patient. He even has to talk about the fact that he fell in love with 16/1 of Chamberlain when he was 20000 years old.

"Are you ok?"

"WTF!"

Louie called out.

Lorraine came out without making a sound, and Louis was too concentrated. Suddenly, a woman's voice came out of his ear, and he was taken aback severely, regardless of how sweet the voice was.

"Did I scare you?" Lorraine asked mischievously, "I watched the documentary, the big cats on the prairie hunt like this."

Lu Yisheng lay on the sofa unlovely and said: "Well, you just need to work harder to scare me to death, and then you can open your bloody mouth and eat my flesh."

"Where do I have a bloody mouth?"

Lorraine leaned against Louis's side, lifted his feet up from the ground to cover them, "It's so cold here, it's still dark, don't you want to sleep for a while?"

"Can't sleep."

"You're too energetic!" Lorraine said subtly, "Men with high energy are prone to cheating."

"Don't worry, now when I close my eyes, I'll be that bastard Isiah."

Lorraine covered his mouth: "Don't say such things."

"Okay, I take that word back and correct it to Shabi."

"What does SHA BI mean?"

"Chinese version of dog mongrel."

"This is not allowed."

Louis said helplessly: "You are not allowed to say this, but you are not allowed to say that. We are in the United States, and we have freedom of speech."

"Then don't tell me, haven't you noticed that you have become more and more rude recently?" Lorraine asked.

"A little bit."

Louie slapped the sofa hard.

"It's all because of the bastards in the team. My sleep quality has gone down now."

However, Lorraine's next sentence turned around: "However, you acted very gentle on the bed, like a teacher in a language school. Every time you come, you have an expression that you don't want to see us."

"How come? I have such a terrible job, and I have to live with a bunch of jerks every day. I just got off the plane and went straight to your apartment, thinking about you." Louie said affectionately.

Lorraine hesitated, and what Louis said made sense.

"But, your stamina is getting worse recently?" Lorraine asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong with your body?"

Louie turned off the tape like an electric shock.

"Marlena, do you think you're not in good order?" Louis immediately pounced on him like a tiger.

Isn't this better than radiating anxiety at the Lakers game tape in the middle of the night?
Louie then fell asleep again and didn't wake up until nine o'clock in the morning.

When he got up, Lorraine had already gone to the language school and prepared breakfast for him.

The fourth team to defeat the Celtics was the Kansas Kings.

Losing to a team that doesn't even have an All-Star shows that the Celtics are in a bad state.

Even so, after this game, their record is still impressive.

35 wins and 4 losses

It's an impressive feat.

During the same period, the NBA All-Star Weekend roster was released.

Louis was elected as the head coach of the Eastern Stars. Although he has no qualifications and no solid coaching records, he currently has a record of 35 wins. No Eastern coach is more qualified than him to coach the Eastern Stars.

Meanwhile, the Celtics had four players selected for the All-Star Game.

Bird, Isiah Thomas and Sampson started the All-Star Game. Lambiel's selection was somewhat controversial because his statistics were only 16 points and 9 rebounds per game, which was not as impressive as the team's average of 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

The Celtics almost completed the team's five-man All-Star feat.

Long was overtaken by Andrew Toney at the last minute.

On January 1, the Celtics will fight the 25ers again, which is the last battle before the All-Star Weekend.

The 76ers tried their best to make the Celtics lose the fifth game, and the two sides played very anxiously.

Lambir's deadly open three-pointer allowed the Celtics to narrowly beat the 4ers by 76 points.

The Celtics ushered in the All-Star weekend. They had a record of 39 wins and 4 losses before the holiday.

This made Louie uncomfortable for days, and vowed to torture the King of Kansas the next time he ran into them.

If they didn't win that game, they would be 40 wins and 3 losses now. How cool does this number look?
On the night of defeating the 76ers, the reporter asked Louie about his upcoming coaching of the Eastern Stars.

"It's my honor. There are many guys on that roster that I usually want to hire killers to kill, but I have to admit that I'm lucky to be able to coach one of them, not to mention that I have the opportunity to coach all of them at once?"
