the rest, only noise

Chapter 292 Born to be flawless

Louie shook Daly's hand before leaving the field.

"I hope you will be merciful in the next match." Louis regards the Pistons at this stage as an abnormal team.

If the Pistons are regarded as their regular level, they will suffer in the future.

"Don't say such things after winning the game, it's disgusting." Daly snorted softly.

Louie said pessimistically: "This may be the only game we win in the next month."

Daly felt as uncomfortable as eating shit: "Thank you, you are a little pessimistic, but if this happens, I will be even more disgusted."

This kind of thing is not disgusting to anyone, the only game won by a team that has lost for a month is actually its own team.

"You're right to think so. If I were you, going back tonight would make James Worthy give up the idea of ​​becoming Bird's second or Magician's second." Louis gave a warning, "There will be no good results."

And so they parted.

Louie accepted the front interview, then returned to the locker room, and asked the inside brothers Cummings and Bannister, who had scored 39 points and 24 rebounds, to go with him to the media interview room for an interview.

The first questioner was Bill Wallace, a New York Times reporter whom Louis had never met. If he played basketball, he must be good defensively.

"Coach Lu, will this wonderful victory increase your confidence in the new season?"

"will not."

"why?"

"Because our opponent is out of form, this game can't reflect the true strength of both of us." Louis lifted the King of New York, "Bernard only scored 22 points today, and we won by 16 points. I can hardly imagine Bernard not scoring 30 points and we won easily."

Bannister has received a lot of media attention.

As a seventh-round pick this year, he usually has to sit on the bench. Unexpectedly, Cartwright's reimbursement for the season became his chance for promotion.

Scored 14 points and 11 rebounds tonight, and won a double-double in his career debut, which is very good.

Pat Cummings treated reporters more in a perfunctory manner.

He doesn't like the media, typical arrogant white guy.

In history, there has only been one white guy who was so rude that white journalists hated him.

That man's name is Rick Barry, and everyone knows he's a scumbag, but there are still "Sports Illustrated" writers who use what may be called the best character feature article in the history of Illustrated to clean up Barry.

Barry said in that article that he longed for people to love him like Havlicek, but everyone hated him.

On this point, he has at least self-knowledge.

People like Cummings are typical people who act recklessly based on the correct skin color. As long as they don't die, the media will look at their skin color and forgive them.

Starting today, Louis has officially settled in New York.

At the beginning of the season, the Knicks' good start was grabbed headlines by an international news.

The assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Indira has attracted worldwide attention.

This international explosion came at just the right time.

The Times did not allow reporters to come to the front line for several days in a row, and they all wanted to follow up on this big news.

It was during this time that the Knicks began their losing streak.

This is the most painful period, and Louis has to look helpless.

He wants to disappoint the fans.

Only by letting the fans despair first and confirming that this season is hopeless can the subsequent "lose the present, win the future" plan go smoothly.

Otherwise, if the show starts now, it will be questioned: If you can win, why don't you win?

Once there is no hope, fans will turn their attention to next year's draft.

After the Knicks lost six games in a row, Bernard King suddenly had self-esteem and said: "I'm so fed up!"

So he scored 50 points against the Kansas Kings, who were aiming to compete with the Knicks for the league leader, and led the team to end the losing streak.

"I hope in a few days Bernard will be as good as he was tonight."

The Knicks' next opponent is the Boston Celtics, Louie's former team.

So he would say that.

Many people questioned his decision to jump ship from Boston to New York. He can't say that he came to New York to build a team that can beat the Celtics.

Louie let his players play the Celtics to their heart's content, and even if they lost, they had to lose with dignity.

I didn't expect to win him, the gap is too big.

In particular, Bernard King suddenly reported diarrhea on the day of the game, which directly gave the Knicks 1% of their hopes of winning the game.

That night, the Knicks started a bit shabby.

They took out the starters of Sparrow, Tucker, Orr, Cummings and Bannister.

Opposite the Celtics are just unreasonable Thomas, Bird, Maxwell, Sampson, Lambiel, four big and one small, Bird playing shooting guard.

KC Jones suddenly revived, full of confidence in the strength of the team.

He should be confident. Without the King of New York, the Knicks could only play team basketball. In the end, four of the team scored in double figures, but no one scored more than 20 points.

As a result, the six Celtics on the opposite side scored in double figures. Bird scored a large triple-double with 28 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists. Before the end of the game, he even threw a three-pointer with his left hand.

Louis said flatly: "Sooner or later, the Knicks will become a respectable team. You just need to know that the Celtics came here as well, and that's enough."

"I just know that since I came to Boston, we are a good team." Bird's words are true.

He was very upset about Louie's job-hopping.

It felt like Louie was telling them that he valued $200 million more than coaching a great team.

But in Bird's impression, Louis is not this kind of person, and he is not short of money.

Returning to Boston and suffering a disastrous defeat, Louis' mood improved a lot.

Come to the garden as a guest, there are many fans who applaud him. As long as the Knicks are not a threat to the Celtics in the East, Louie's position in the hearts of the fans will continue to be maintained.

Bob Ryan didn't let Louie go.

At the press conference that night, Ryan questioned Louis' job-hopping: "There are still many people who want to know your motivation for leaving Boston. Is it really just because of money?"

"Is this difficult to understand?" Louie would rather be thought that he left for money. "The job of a coach is not as stable as that of a player. It is very likely that I will be unemployed in a few years. The money is enough for me to spend the rest of my life comfortably."

Because of Louie's words, Ryan complained about his lack of ambition in the next day's article.

"I declare that I was wrong about Little Lu! I thought he was the next Reed, but he is not! He is just one of many talented coaches who are short-lived!"

On November 11, the Knicks were experiencing a losing streak, and Louie asked the team for a few days off.

Reasons are personal matters.

Only Tomjanovich and De Buschel knew what he was going to do.

It's really just a personal matter, and Lorraine's due date is just a few days away.

For the first time since Louis met Lorraine in Italy in the summer of 1982, he had a few days that were entirely Lorraine's.

These days, Louis is extremely nervous.

Obviously he wasn't the one who was going to give birth, he was so nervous and sensitive that if there was any trouble, he had to ask Lorraine how he felt.

He learned about the Knicks' games and training in the past few days by phone.

The training atmosphere was good, and the game was not won.

November is almost over and they have won just one game.

The fans were basically desperate and began to regard the team as a joke. When the media recovered from the assassination of Indira, the Knicks had fallen to No. 1 in the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Unknown media thought that Louis asked for leave because he didn't want to face reality.

He went from the best team ever to one of the worst teams in the league.

"Even Little Lu can't turn a bunch of rotten wood into gold, he's never been a Messiah."

The "New York Times" did not forget the grievances between them and Louis, and when it was time to step on it, they stepped on it.

Louis blocked the information from the outside world. Recently, many teams called De Buschel, wanting to make a deal with the Knicks.

The most daring than the Lakers.

They proposed a plan to replace Bernard King with Rambis + Byron Scott + multiple first rounds.

Louis knew that the Lakers' first-round picks were worthless until the magician retired, so they traded the top three small forwards in the league for Rambis and Scott and a few late first-round picks.

This is a complete loss-making business, and it's not that it can't be sold, it's unnecessary.

Some teams asked about the price of Darnell Walker, who was refrigerated by Louis.

Louis couldn't care less about these things now.

He asked De Buschel to deal with it properly. If he couldn't make up his mind, he would wait until his child was born and he would talk about it when he came back.

De Buschell has been sprayed enough by the media recently. The Knicks lost like this. The important reason why Louis has not been ridiculed by the whole city is that the management has done little during the offseason and signed him only in August.

If the coach has only spent less than three months from signing to the start of the season, it is normal to have a poor record.

So Louis was just said to have no magic to turn scrap iron into gold, and fans and the media recognized his coaching ability.

He signed a five-year contract. If he wants to complain, there will be more opportunities in the future. Now he has to spray Debusschere, who took money and did nothing.

November 11, the day of unloading in Lorraine.

Louis drove her to the hospital. Li Xuanbing saw Louis VI's dazed look, and went to the hospital's vending machine to buy ice-cola to stimulate him.

"Don't worry, now that the medical level is so advanced, nothing will happen. You should think about becoming a father in the future." Li Xuanbing was very excited about her upcoming grandma, "Have you decided on a name?"

If Louis doesn't think about it, she has the intention of doing it for her.

"Ah."

"what is it call?"

"Flawless." Louis said, "The road is flawless."

"Cultural. Whatever you want."

Childbirth usually takes four to eight hours. Lorraine took an intermediate value and finished the work in six hours.

When Louie saw the child, a warm current swept through his body.

This is an experience he has never had in his two lifetimes - at the age of 24, he became the father of a 3KG baby boy.

Louie will always remember that day, an ordinary day for many.

On November 1984, 11, his child, Lu Wuxia, was born.
