Chapter 3 Sixty will be fine

1986/3/13

As a famous coach in the professional basketball circle, Louis made headlines the next day because of an investment.

On this day, Microsoft Corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Louis has been paying attention to this news for a long time. Although he doesn't understand finance and doesn't know any ideas for making money, he at least knows that Microsoft will become a giant in the future.

Now their market value is only [-] million US dollars, Gates accepted Paul Allen's suggestion and decided to go public.

Louie has many advantages in New York.

Therefore, on the day Microsoft went public, Louis spent $90 to buy Microsoft stock.

Microsoft's stock is very hot, almost everyone is optimistic about the company, starting at $25 per share, rising to $30 per share, and finally closing at $27 per share.

In the end, Louis got nearly 30000 Microsoft shares. Compared with Microsoft's total of 2400 million outstanding shares, these stocks on hand accounted for "only" a little more than 1/1000.

However, considering that the future market value of this company will reach 4000 billion US dollars.

That means Louis pocketed the next $90 million with an investment of $4.

(Voice-over: I said I don’t understand this, but the protagonist feels that it’s not justified not to use the identity of a time traveler to make some money when he comes to this era. If the plot is flawed, please ignore it)

Louis is very satisfied.

Microsoft's stock is very hot, and some people can't buy so much even if they have money.

If it weren't for Louis's extensive connections in New York and his connections within Oracle, he wouldn't be able to make this order.

After it was over, he was so happy that he was crazy. Li Xuanbing said that his mind was completely muddled, and he would definitely ask for trouble if he spent a lot of money playing stocks.

The day Louie hit the economic headlines, the Knicks were at home against the Pistons.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Louis seems to distribute his joy to the players.

In the game, the Knicks were in full swing and beat the Pistons violently.

The Pistons are in a struggling stage of transformation, and have been reduced to competing with the Knicks for No.4.

Whoever wins this battle will take the fourth place, and whoever loses will go to the fifth place.

Although the regular season is not over yet, neither side wants to lose.

However, the overjoyed New Yorkers have a firm heart to win.

In the fourth quarter, when Louis once again put on a full-court press, he was broken by James Worthy's speed.

According to Rick Pitino, the Knicks' current full-court press is full of momentum, lack of brains, and no routines. Only relying on the players' personal wishes cannot effectively kill the opponent.

Louie totally agrees with Pitino, but how?

The only way is to recruit a defensive coach. Now that it is during the season, he can't find a suitable candidate, so he can only do so first.

The Pistons broke the Knicks' full-court press, but it was difficult to save the defeat.

98 is better than 88
The Knicks beat their opponents by 10 points.

"Seeing you spend so much money buying stocks, I thought you were going to quit your job and go stock trading."

Chuck Daly loses the game and still has the poise.

"That's just a small side job of mine. What I really like is coaching." Louie said modestly.

"If I had half of your 'little side job', I would quit and just go home and lie down." Dai Li obviously didn't mean it.

Louis can understand that the Pistons are now a lineup issue.

It is necessary to build a defensive-oriented team, but apart from Rick Mahon and Joe Dumars, few people in the team are defensive.

If you want to dismantle the team and replace it with a group of hob meat, will the effect be better than it is now?
With the victory over the Pistons, the Knicks ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 40 wins and 27 losses.

Although the state has been very unstable along the way, he once played second in the Eastern Conference and fell to sixth in the Eastern Conference, but as long as he plays normally, the Knicks will have the strength of the top four in the division.

Although Ewing's average performance of 19 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.9 blocks per game cannot fully satisfy the New Yorkers, with the current record, the dissatisfaction with Ewing can be put aside for the time being.

The Knicks' status has stabilized after entering March.

Against weaker teams, there are occasional overturns, but as long as it is a game that Louis thinks must be won, they will not lose.

Especially when he met the Cliff Cavaliers, looking at their record, Louis was full of joy.

In March, the Knicks won both games against the Cavaliers and achieved a quadruple kill against the Cavaliers.

With the current fighting power displayed by the knights, Louis felt that even if Cartwright was there, they would not be able to escape the fate of being seventh from last.

The only star on the team is the aging Wald B. Free (World B. Free PG/SG).Although World Brother can be called a rare beauty in the difficult period of the Cavaliers, but this is like Keira Knightley's every play that tries to show femininity.

Looking at the face can make 90% of men nod with satisfaction.

Once the scope of investigation is extended to the career line, the satisfied man starts to frown, and finally becomes disappointed.

This is the result when you can only see your face from top to bottom.

Brother Shijie feels the same way in the Cavaliers. He is the only one who can watch the whole team, and the rest of the team seems to be uninteresting.

But such a team chose to gamble on team luck in order to get Cartwright.

Louis didn't know what was going on in the brain circuits of these people.

Cartwright has always been somewhere between a quasi-All-Star and a strong starter.

A weak team can be the second leader, a strong team can be the third leader, and a strong team may be the fourth leader, but there is leadership in the locker room.

Unfortunately, he broke his bone before showing his leadership in front of Louis.

Louie sent him to Cleveland without coaching him a single game.

And just as he showed his leadership in Cleveland, he broke another bone.

The Knicks had a smooth April.

The record came to 48 wins and 30 losses, with only four games left in the regular season, the Knicks still have a chance of winning 50.

1986/4/4

They're back in Boston, their fifth game against the Celtics this season.

Prior to this, Louis had set a record of ten consecutive defeats against the Celtics.

If you include the record in the Hubie Brown era, the Knicks have 13 losses and 1 win against the Celtics.

Over the past three seasons, they have won only one of 14 meetings.

It was Bernard King who broke out that time and fought hard to win it back.

Now, King is still recuperating and will not return this season.

Moreover, the question of his fate is also plaguing the New York media.

Although many people have accepted the fact that Ewing is the king of the new generation of New York, but Ah Jin has worked hard for New York, shed blood, and fought for ACL.Aren't you afraid of forcing out a second Wei Xia?

Oh, Ah Jin doesn't have the super power to travel through time and space when he sleeps, so the previous paragraph should be considered invalid.

"Guys, I have a strong feeling that the end of the losing streak against Boston is tonight!"

The atmosphere is not so warm.

This group has already been psychologically shadowed by those beasts in Boston.

"Give me some feedback, you bastards!"

Stockton asked pragmatically, "Coach, do you have a strategy for winning?"

"This, I haven't thought of it yet." Louie's words were almost incontinent for everyone to hear, "So let me cheer you up, maybe you can think of something I didn't think of!"

Oakley had an idea: "Coach, we press hard on them, that's how we won the Lakers last time in the forum!"

"That's right, the audience is pressing, this is our secret weapon!"

Cough cough, can a secret weapon that has made headlines still be a secret?
And Louie couldn't hold back his smile and asked: "What do you mean, do you want to press against a team with Isiah Thomas, Ralph Sampson, and Larry Bird?"

Ewing didn't hear the irony in Louis' tone.

He even asked back like an iron man: "Is there any problem?"

"Spine! I like it! It seems that Patrick will lead the charge tonight!" Louie said loudly, touching Ewing's head, "If we get kicked by the Celtics again, Patrick must have lost the chain. I might throw him off the plane at that time. You'd better look at him more, maybe you won't see him in the future!"

"You are really unreasonable!"

Ewing exclaimed dissatisfied.

"He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!" Molesting Ewing was an integral part of Louis' life.

Ewing said angrily, "Just now, you told us to cheer up a little bit. I followed your words. You are here to destroy your own prestige and build up the ambitions of others! You are still laughing at me, what the hell!"

"You fucking dare to threaten to press the Celtics all over the court, and you are afraid of being laughed at? If I had a bad temper, I would have thrown you off the plane just now, you idiot!"

The captain asked the flight attendant to remind: "We are about to leave, please keep quiet."

"Did you hear that? Be quiet!" The one with the loudest voice was the least self-aware, "Every day, do I need someone to remind me? Didn't have enough nightclubs last night, so I'm not sleepy now? Close your eyes! When the plane takes off, who told me to keep my eyes open."

The stewardess walked up to Louis politely and said, "Coach Lu, please keep quiet."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely cooperate with you in your work." Louis glanced at the other person's face, and swept under the seductive uniform, what a curve.

Tomjanovich joked: "Coach Lu, you have a girlfriend, please control yourself."

"Didn't you notice that the conscientious lady looks a lot like Sean Young?"

"I don't pay much attention to the film and television industry."

"My God!" Louie asked in disbelief, "You've lived a life like this"

Tomjanovich said wearily: "I have to watch five games a day and record countless statistics. Do you think I have time to watch these?"

The instigator who made Tomjanovich so exhausted said warmly: "It will get better. When you become the head coach, it will be your turn to torture the assistants. At that time, if someone doesn't want to do it, you can tell him, 'That's how I came here'."
