the rest, only noise

Chapter 185 Hypnotize Yourself
On January 1, Louie set off from Boston with Bird, Thomas, Sampson and Lambiel for Denver.

"Guys, what are your plans when you arrive in Denver?"

Louie didn't put Lorraine on the same flight as they did because he didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable.

Lorraine was so beautiful, she would attract a lot of attention wherever she went, and the last thing Louis wanted was for his team members to refrain from looking at her, but couldn't help but glance out of the corner of their eyes.

Although he is from the future, he doesn't want his girlfriend to be noticed by too many people.

"What arrangements can I make if I go to the mountainous area? Just finish the game according to the rules of the league!" Lambiel was selected as an All-Star for the first time.

He feels bad about being an All-Star, he doesn't like the title and the honor, because there's nothing in his contract about how he'll be rewarded if he's an All-Star.

To be precise, he was selected as an All-Star, and his salary was only twice that of Louie.

If you can't make yourself more money, being an All-Star is no more proud than showing off your hits this month to your teammates.

"You can see it." Louis said happily. "I hope you are all like him."

Bird said meanly: "If I want to live like him, I might as well die."

"What are you talking about, Larry?" Lambiel said unfairly, "We are close comrades-in-arms."

"Not intimate at all, thank you."

"Well, this one might be true, but we have a lot of hobbies in common."

Sampson said with great interest: "Tell me a few words?"

"We all like to drink Heineken beer."

"Agreed." Byrd had to say.

Lambiel laughed: "We all love money."

"No problem." Byrd had to say.

"We all like to win."

Lambiel said with certainty.

"It's true." Byrd nodded without doubt.

Louis followed up with a sentence: "You missed the most important thing. Your mouths are very smelly. You usually look like hooligans. You have major flaws in moral cultivation but you never reflect on yourself."

"Agreed!" Thomas and Sampson agreed together.

"QNMD!"

Louis laughed: "Look at the amazing quality of the bumpkin, perfect proof that I didn't slander him."

They arrived in Denver without incident.

This is the Mountain State - Colorado people always say, if you think today is the worst day of your life, don't lose heart, because no matter what, the worst thing will always be living here and opening your eyes to find out that there is tomorrow.

Louis didn't know how these well-fed Americans lived like Netease Cloud users.

Still, every time he's in Denver, he doesn't feel good.

Although there are tall buildings, the mountains are dense, and I feel that I am living in the shadows.

This feeling of depression is determined by the environment.

A bit like a person living in Hong Kong, Louis used to feel a burst of pressure every time he went to Hong Kong. Although he saw high-rise buildings everywhere, it made people feel dull and difficult to breathe, because when he looked up, what he saw was not the blue sky and white clouds, but the tall buildings covering the sky.

They went to the hotel first.

Arriving at the hotel, there was a dinner party arranged by the alliance.

The head coaches of the eastern and western star teams will formally meet with their players.

During the All-Star weekend in 1984, the players were not the future stars who needed to keep a distance from the fans, and there were not so many commercial activities.

But starting this year, everything will be different.

Because it has been determined that David Stern will officially succeed Larry O'Brien as president.

There has been no suspense in this matter since O'Brien stepped down. Stern is the candidate that everyone expects because he maintains a good cooperative relationship with the cable company, and this is an area of ​​interest to the bosses.

Cable TV can increase their income, raise the profile of the league, and get all the teams promoted.

Louie meets his players.

In addition to their own, there are also Sidney Moncrief of the Bucks; Dr. J, Malone, and Andrew Tony of the 76ers; Worthy, Kate Tripka of the Pistons, and Robert Parish, who has just been traded to Detroit;

They are basically old opponents, but many of them lack understanding of Louis.

Moreover, the star players in the East mainly come from the Celtics, 76ers and Pistons.

The star players of the three teams add up, including four starters and nine All-Stars.

In the playoffs, they fought each other to the death, so it is not easy to be friendly when they meet now.

The All-Star Game will be held on January 1.

In addition to the main game, there is also the first dunk contest in NBA history.

With Dr. J, who has left a legend in the slam dunk contest, taking the lead to participate, the enthusiasm of others is naturally high.

After all, no matter how strong Dr. J's dunk ability is, he is already very old, and he cannot be as good as he was at his peak.

"Little Lu, after you beat Dallas by 81 points, I suddenly let go of the game at the beginning of the season." Dr. J laughed.

Louis naturally put on a mask for himself, and responded kindly: "Actually, that's not my intention. You know there are many militants in the Celtics. I really can't control them."

"!%￥%#..." Ma Long commented a few words.

Louie kept smiling, puzzled.

Dr. J translated: "Moses said, you are too modest."

"Thank you for saying that, Moses," Louie laughed. "Everyone says that."

Malone took a sip of the wine, and his voice seemed to improve a lot. Louis finally didn't have to ask the doctor to translate what he said.

"Moses doesn't like your insincerity," Malone said.

Louie asked back, "Do you tell the truth to someone you meet for the first time, Moses?"

"We've met a few times, and you are really insincere." Ma Long stepped up.

Several other star players in the East also watched Louie cautiously.

The only star player of the Bucks, Moncrief, is awkward, and he has a bad relationship with Bird.

To be precise, there are no players in this room with whom he has a good relationship.Because his defense is too strong, he is a ghost in the game. No one wants to see him. Except for his teammates, there are very few colleagues who like him.

The two members of the Pistons behave in an orderly manner.

Birdsang and Luland were basically invisible.

The only ones who are willing to communicate with Louis are the old opponents of the 76ers.

At the end of the banquet, Louis talked about tomorrow's arrangements: "Although we only play one game, since everyone is here, we will play a wonderful game and let the audience have fun, so I will hold a training session tomorrow. I hope everyone will come."

Dr. J immediately said: "I can't, I have a lot of activities to attend."

"Understood, Doctor." Louis looked easy to speak.

Just as the doctor was about to laugh it off, Louie went on to say, "If your sponsors and agents think those activities are more important than your playing time in the All-Star Game for less than 15 minutes, I absolutely support your absence from tomorrow's practice."

The elegant Dr. J is not a good-natured person.

Hearing Louis' words, his face changed instantly: "Lu, are you threatening me?"

"How can you call it a threat? It's too ugly." Louis smiled faintly, "This is a kind reminder."

Dr. J said angrily: "I can't just play for 15 minutes!"

"No, you heard it wrong. I mean, if you don't come to the training, I will limit your playing time to 15 minutes." Louie's sudden strong appearance made his players feel very comfortable.

Bird and others have always been curious about what kind of posture Louis will have when he coaches the Eastern Stars. Will he use his usual attitude towards them to greet the leaders of other teams?For example, a guy like Dr. J who is obviously a player but acts like a boss?

Now they see it.

Louis punched hard internally, and grinned externally, refusing to budge an inch.

Dr. J thinks his style is irreplaceable: "Okay, if I play less than 15 minutes, I would like to ask who do you want to entertain the fans?"

"What's so hard about this?"

Louie looked at Malone and teased, "We'll let Moses show Denver how to grab offensive rebounds."

"Moses doesn't like it!" Malone excitedly defended his teammates, "Ah Gulu#%@#%!"

Louie continued: "We can also get Sidney to show everyone how to prevent the magician from shit."

Moncrieff grimaced, and his heart said, "I can't help it."

"Then I'll let Ralph play number one. You don't know he can play number one, do you?"

Sampson's face changed drastically.

"Let Isiah play the second position again. He is the deadliest shooter on our team."

Suddenly Thomas noticed his ass was ventilating.

"By the way I'm going to have Andrew Toney as our rusher and let him beat the Western Conference like he's been beating us in the playoffs for the last few years."

Lambiel asked interestingly: "What about the dunk? This is Boster's repertoire!"

Dr. J nodded, he knew that his most irreplaceable value was dunking.

"Don't worry, I'm already prepared."

Everyone saw Louis pointing at Larry Bird in disbelief.

"You may not know that Larry is a one-in-a-kind slam dunk genius. In my eyes, his dunk is no less than that of the doctor. It's just because you have too deep stereotypes about his skin color and think that white people must not dunk. If you look back at Game 1981 of the Eastern Conference Finals in [-], you will see that Larry used a deadly dunk to kill the doctor."

After Louis finished speaking this round, he successfully hypnotized himself.

"Wow, we have so many talents. If the doctor doesn't even participate in training, I think the most suitable job for him is to throw us the towel at the end of the bench." Louis is the real threat this time, "Maybe he won't even have 10 minutes of playing time."

The doctor didn't believe Louie would do that: "I'm the starter voted by the fans."

"I'll let you start, and let you play for a few minutes before being replaced." Louis blatantly threatened, "How about it, doctor, do you want to take this opportunity to take a good rest?"
