the rest, only noise

Chapter 250
The difference between Louis in this life and his previous life is that he has enough time to observe the growth process of these superstars who have gone far away.

He can confidently say he knows Bird, Magic and the stars who came into the league after them.

He watched this group of people grow, from a new star to a superstar and even a superstar.

The magician has been compared to James many times by him.

Compared with him, James' offense is more fierce. We will never see the magician win the scoring champion, but Mr. Zhan is confident that he can win the scoring champion every season as long as he wants to.His fans swelled up with this confidence, and then gave a shocking statement: As long as Mr. Zhan is willing, he can average a triple-double in a row like Westbrook.

It sounds like Chamberlain bragging in his autobiography that if he played hard like Russell, he could win everything.When you see him in a bad key performance, such words will only make you sick.

If you don't, shut up.

"If" is a luxury.

Now, Louie has tentatively changed his mind.

The magician is not James, and James is not a magician. They should not be compared together.

In Game 1, the Magician faced the long shot given to him by the Celtics first decisively and then hesitated, which has something to do with his touch.

Once he can't make a shot, he hesitates.

It's a bit like James before 2014, but not quite.The reason for James' hesitation is unknown, and the reason for Magic's hesitation is simple.

With Bird standing opposite him, he didn't want to lose; with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar inside, he had to worry about the feelings of the god of death; the Lakers' offense relied heavily on his turnover, and he couldn't just think about himself.

This triple burden bound the magician's hands and feet.

Even his current situation is very similar to Ben Simmons and Embiid.

These two were good seedlings at the core level of team building at first, but they couldn't achieve the effect of 1+1>2 when they were put together.

The style of play doesn't match, that's it.

Fortunately for the Lakers, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 37 years old, he can't "hinder" the magician for a few years, and a peaceful handover of the scepter is just around the corner.

But if the Magician and Kareem are separated and let them play with a lineup, the Lakers may be more difficult to deal with.

Putting Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar together, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is more relaxed, and Magician is struggling more. He has to suppress his Show Time style of play, properly control the rhythm and wait for Big Brother.

That's why he "hesitated" last night.

Rather than saying that he hesitated, it was better to say that the Lakers lineup locked him in. If he was not sure about throwing the ball, he could only pass the ball.

Louis was eating late at night, thinking about how the Lakers would adjust next.

With their lineup, if they don't separate Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, they are doomed to do some low-level things.

Defensively defend like the teams in the East, and increase the intensity of the game to the extreme, so that the shooting percentage of both sides becomes low. In the end, the game will evolve into a more ruthless contest.

Rebounding, this is the advantage of the Lakers.

They have enough height, speed, strength, physical fitness, if they want to, they can really do it.

If there are a few games, their shots are suddenly accurate, and they can connect with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar inside and outside.

These are all expected rebounds.

Moreover, if the Celtics' strategy does not change, there is only so much they can do.

It's just that, even if you know what your opponent is doing, it's not easy to limit it when fighting.

Defensive strength and offensive rebounds are related to determination and talent.

The Lakers have talent, and they are determined that they will not be enough tonight, but if they are in a hurry to lose, it is hard to guarantee that they will jump over the wall in a hurry.

Louis finished his supper and listened to the voice message.

Basically congratulating him, but a text message from Blazers owner Larry Weinberg caught his attention.

"Lu, congratulations on getting off to a good start in the World Championships (some greetings) Regarding this year's draft, if you have any thoughts, please feel free to call me."

Louis looked at the time, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

Instead of calling back, he decided to leave Weinberg a message.

In this message, Louis solemnly suggested that they choose Jordan.

This year's coin war was no different from what Louis remembered.

The Rockets are first, the Blazers are second, and the Bulls are third.

Olajuwon clearly wanted to participate in the draft, and Ewing had to return to school for four years. Jordan decided to participate in the draft at the last minute.

In this way, Olajuwon will definitely be selected by the Rockets. If Louis does not intervene through Weinberg, the Blazers will still choose Bowie, and Jordan will go to the Bulls.

Louie wants to change this period of history. On the one hand, he wants to return Weinberg’s favor, and on the other hand, he wants to see what will happen to Jordan, who started in the West. His combination with Drexler will make the Blazers the most entertaining team in the league after the Show Time Lakers decline. And whether his dominant personality can be controlled under Jack Ramsey.

Louis listed several advantages of Jordan in detail, and he put the commercial value last.

It seems to be the least important, but it is actually the most important, and it is also the point he emphasizes the most.

The bosses are not professionals. Among them are fans. They hope that the team will select good players to enhance their competitiveness. But they also have another identity, that is, they are businessmen.If you have a team with an explosive commercial value, the value of the team will also increase.

Louis divided the speech into two paragraphs. The first half is about Jordan's career prospects, and the second half is about his commercial value.

He didn't say everything, just "roughly" why he wanted the Blazers to pick Jordan.If Weinberg is interested, we can discuss it in detail another day.

This kind of rude interference in his team's internal affairs is immoral, but it's very cool, especially if it is very likely to change the entire NBA history of the 90s, and may even change the best candidate in history. Louie's words revealed an indescribable excitement.

The next day, when Louis went to the Greek Academy, he heard about what happened to the Lakers last night.

The fire brigade's fire alarm went off multiple times outside the hotel, and hotel staff "panicked" the guests to leave the hotel room and gather outside.

The Lakers had a rough night, and Riley reportedly didn't cancel early practice.

The more difficult it is, the more we must persevere.

This is Riley's creed.

The Lakers are known as the NBA's Hollywood team, playing fancy games, but their training intensity may be the highest in the league.

After Riley took office, he had an unshakable 180-minute training schedule. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar enjoyed the privilege, and everyone else had to complete the training in a down-to-earth manner.

"I heard Coach Riley trains his players for three hours a day."

On this day, before the training started, Louis gave a routine lecture.

Everyone looked at him intently, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling today.

"Also, they didn't rest well last night, but they still had training in the morning, and we didn't train every morning. Don't you think we should learn from them?" Louie said, "Los Angeles is Hollywood, but we live in the countryside; Los Angeles is the bustling Show Time, and we are hardworking basketball collars Attendance Time; Los Angeles represents the most colorful things in the world, and the only color on us is the green that makes me feel uncomfortable every day. But they trained so hard , we have neglected to train."

Lambiel said in surprise: "Are we going to train for three hours?"

"Are you going to admit defeat in this matter? They are the losing side. They lost the game, didn't have a good rest, and insisted on training. If we win the game, can't we spend an extra 60 minutes on basketball?"

Bird just wanted to say "I have no objection" when Lambiel covered his mouth.

ML Karl raised his voice: "Coach, we just want to blow them up with less training time than them!"

"That's right, although we have less time for training, we are training for excellence, which is very different from their hard time training!"

"That's right, that's why we won three consecutive victories against them. How can they play games after putting all their energy on the training ground?"

Seeing these lazy dogs, in order not to increase the training time, all of them turned into Zhuge Liang and quibbled eloquently, Louis laughed.

"Okay, since you said so, I believe we will win the game the day after tomorrow."

"We can't wait for the game to start tonight! It's CBS' failure to not have back-to-back finals. They didn't do it before!"

Due to CBS's broadcast arrangement, the second contest between the Celtics and the Lakers was scheduled four days after the end of Game 1.

This offseason is in time for the All-Star weekend.

Some people miss the back-to-back Finals is something Louie didn't expect.

The back-to-back schedule of the finals is one of the most incomprehensible schedules for Louis. Decades later, the media would like the finals to be a little bit different. They want to create momentum.The fans didn't realize that most of the series was over.

"Well, since you all think so, we'll stay the same and hope to see you sweep the Lakers in the Finals."

"That's a must, Coach!"

In Louie's heart, the Lakers have never been an opponent who can be swept away.

He's ready to play six games, or the full seven.

I did this today to pave the way for the next loss and increase the training time.

Once he loses, he needs more time to correct his mistakes. Therefore, the training time must be increased, and it cannot be done without it.

If these bastards dare to boast, don't blame him for turning his back on them and training them well.

He promised he would be kinder than Riley.

Riley trains twice a day in the morning and in the afternoon, so he will train for three hours in the afternoon.
