the rest, only noise

Chapter 284 The endless rage of the Knicks top player

In the gymnasium of Hofstra University, Louis was dressed in casual clothes, with four assistant coaches standing behind him. In front of them, players stood in two rows horizontally.

Except for those who are eager to win the marginal position, the regular players have come to Louie.

Bernard King naturally stands at the C position, and the rest are Cartwright, Cummings, Darrell Walker (PG/SG), Louis Orr (SF), Spark, Craig Hodges, Tucker, Butch Carter (Butch Carter SG), Ken Bannister (PF/C), James Bailey (PF/C).

Apart from Jin, there is probably only one Cartwright that fans will know in the future.Because he was the chief center of the Bulls in the first three consecutive games, and he was also the "token" of Jordan and Clausen.Bird fans may know Hodges, who lives in Bird's quotes⑶.Veteran Bulls fans or Jordan fans probably know Trent Tucker, who used 1990 seconds to kill the Bulls with a three-pointer in 0.1, which contributed to the "Tucker Rule".

That century-long 0.1 second aroused fierce protests from Zen Master, and the league issued a rule that if the game time is less than 0.3 seconds, all catches and shots will be regarded as invalid goals⑵.

Apart from these, there is nothing else worth mentioning.

This is a mediocre, unknown team that can't do much.

Facing them, Louis said flatly: "It's the first time we meet, I don't think I need to introduce myself, you all know me."

"Given that our offseason signings were unfavorable, I don't think the goal for the new season should be set too high." Louis began to smile.

Cartwright asked for everyone: "Coach, what is your goal?"

"If all goes well, we should have a 30 percent chance of making the playoffs."

"!￥@..."

Louie's words caused a lot of discussion. When Hubie Brown came, he announced in a high-profile way that he would bring Knicks fans back to the glory days of the early 70s.

And now he's packed up and left.

Louis is the champion coach. Last season, he set up a "frivolous" personality with one massacre after another. He led the team with a record of 87 wins and 12 losses, which shocked the North American sports world. Unexpectedly, he was so pragmatic at the moment.

"Coach, I think we have a 100% chance of making the playoffs." Pat Cummings said confidently, "With me, Bill, and Bernard, that's enough!"

Louis smiled lightly, "I hope so."

"Next, let's start training."

Louis dismissed the players, asked Sharee to help Stockton improve his shooting skills one-on-one, and then asked Tomjanovich to supervise the training of others. Jackson did it himself, and Zhao Yuanzheng was responsible for recording the training characteristics of the players.

He, of course, went back to the office.

He always does.

One of this year's rookies, against Louie's expectations, Ken Bannister, a seventh-round pick who signed a formal contract with the team, unexpectedly said: "Is Coach Lu leaving now?"

"He is the Messiah, who wants to save the world, how can he care about us!" Cummings said strangely.

Seeing Louis' face and his smug look, Bernard King was so angry that he thought of Jackson's words—he has forgiven you!

@%@@￥%#...!
Who forgives whom?King could never forgive Louie.

"It's a waste of time!" Kim said harshly.

Then he went straight to Louie's office.

"Is there going to be an accident?" Zhao Yuanzheng said worriedly.

Sharif said with a smile: "Really, what we should really worry about is Bernard. Lu is a ruthless character who once punched the referee into the ICU on the field."

With the coin in his hand, Louis was thinking about drinking Coke or Sprite.

If Coca-Cola is the GOAT in his private beverage industry, then Sprite must be the top [-] giants in history.

Usually, if he is asked to choose one of the two, he will definitely give Coke a second, but today he wants to change the taste.

Just as he was hesitating, a guy with no quality opened the door and came in.

"Let's talk," Kim said grimly.

"I didn't expect that more than half a year has passed, and you are still as uneducated as a savage who has not received higher education." Louis sneered and sarcastically, "Don't you know that you have to knock on the door before entering?"

Jin clenched his fists and suppressed his anger: "I don't want to come here, I just want to chat with you!"

"Want to chat? Then you have to get out of my office, knock on the door respectfully, and get my permission before coming in." Louis decided, let's drink Sprite today.

He wanted to feel chilled.

"I'm the No. [-] player for the Knicks, where do you put me?" King growled.

"Hey!" Louie opened the Sprite, went back to the office chair and sat up, raising his legs to the desk, "My dear top player of the Knicks, what did I do to make you disrespect me so much? Have you never known what these two things mean, quality and upbringing? You came in without even knocking on the door, and asked me where I put you? I want to ask you where I put me."

"You're a piece of shit in my eyes! Louie!" King yelled. "I don't even want to play for you!"

Louis looked at him contemptuously: "Dave is waiting for your transaction application, don't keep him waiting."

"Wait and see!"

The Knicks' number one player left Louie's office in a rage.

A few minutes later, Tomjanovich and Jackson came together.

"It seems that your communication is not going well." Tomjanovich seemed to come to see a joke.

"Phil, why the hell are you hiding!" Louis asked directly, "How did you manage the relationship? I just saw a pack of humanoid explosives running into my office!"

Jackson said embarrassedly: "95% of the communication between me and Bernard is beneficial and nutritious, but when I conveyed your words to him, his face changed."

"I told you, don't take that sentence with you!" Tomjanovich didn't expect Jackson to be so thoughtless.

Jackson looked at Louis: "I serve Coach Lu, if he asks me to bring it, I must bring it."

Louis took a sip of Sprite, "So you've successfully completed the task?"

"I think so."

Louie sobbed pretendingly, looked at Tomjanovich pitifully and said, "I miss KC already."

Tomjanovich did not cooperate with Louie's performance: "What should we do next? We can't just go on like this, can we?"

"This matter has two outcomes, either he takes the initiative to reconcile with me, or he is traded." Louis drank up his Sprite, "I am now infinitely inclined to the latter."

After all, he tried to throw the Sprite can into the trash can by the door.

His usual hit rate is quite high, but today it was a little crooked, the Sprite bottle hit the door, and it made a loud noise.

"If Bernard is traded, there is no hope for this season." Jackson does not yet know Louis' plan.

Louis looked at Tomjanovich strangely: "Don't Phil know yet?"

"Don't know what?" Jackson asked.

"There is no hope for this season. You don't really think that I plan to bring this group of people into the playoffs, do you?" Louis laughed. "How is it possible? Just this group of people? God is blind to make it to the playoffs!"

Jackson savored Louis' words, and he had instant results.

It's bad, it's bad, it's still fucking bad!

Jackson smiled and said: "If we don't aim to make the playoffs, we will have a grudge against Bernard, or even trade him, which will greatly benefit our plan."

Tomjanovich still has doubts about the bad stuff.

"You should already know that the media in New York call you the Messiah. You come here with the title of champion coach. If you don't make the playoffs in the first season. Even if the record is too bad, the public opinion may be afraid."

Louis had already thought of these consequences.

Last season, the Knicks did him a great favor by not making the playoffs. All he has to do is to make the bad process look good.

Since he and New York City are destined to torture each other, it is his duty to feed everyone shit-flavored chocolate.

Otherwise, it would be too unfair for him to be unilaterally tortured by the media, and he is not shaking M.

"Since we have sailed on the Titanic and crashed into the Bernard Iceberg, why not hit another iceberg at full speed? Maybe there is a new world behind the iceberg!"

Louis waved his hand, signaling Tomjanovich to stop talking.

"Next, I will trouble you two to observe this group of people more. I want to know which people are obedient, which ones are useless, which ones are strongly dissatisfied with me, and which ones show their favor to me on the surface, but are actually strongly dissatisfied with me—especially the last kind of people, we must find out."

It sounds like a mission that only appears in a spy movie, and both Tomjanovich and Jackson have a feeling.

Aren't we assistant coaches?Why did he suddenly become a detective?
After they all left the office, Louie got up and took a Coke from the vending machine.

Although Sprite is refreshing, it has the same problem as Coke, that is, the more you drink, the more delicious it will be.

This happens when you try to quench your thirst without exercising.

Louie drank a Coke and confirmed again, Coca-Cola, forever GOAT!
