the rest, only noise

Chapter 436 I want to see fire in your eyes

Very few strong teams make trades halfway through the season, unless there is a real need, or there is an internal problem.

The Knicks were fine inside, but they sent away the much-loved Manute Bol and the former King of New York.

It was this deal that reminded New Yorkers that Bernard King was still on the team.

"So he's been here all the time?" Many people have this feeling.

Gilmour is undoubtedly a player whose name is greater than his strength, and he certainly cannot replace Ball's role in protecting the basket.

Many of Louie's journalist friends called to ask about the inside story.

Louie only revealed it to a few people.

Then they are responsible for writing an article to inform the outside world of the purpose of the Knicks' transaction.

Louie called Ball before the deal was done.

Ball has little impression of San Antonio, and although he is reluctant to leave, the deal is a foregone conclusion.

Negotiations have already reached that point. If you don't give the Spurs an explanation, Louis will never even think about trading with them in the future.

Therefore, Louis could only try his best to appease Boll and let him go to the new team with a good mood.

The deal came to fruition, and Louie was waiting to go back to New York to meet with Gilmour, who he believed would accept a replacement.

He is a veteran, and he is known for his good temper, so good that he cares about whether his fists are injured when he is beaten on the court.

On February 2, after the boring Legendary Game ended, the curtain of the All-Star Game kicked off.

The All-Star starters in the East are Isiah Thomas, Wilson, Bird, McHale, and Sampson.

It is outrageous for Wilson to start. In terms of strength and statistics, he should not be the starter.

But there is no way to say something like popularity, you can't just look at strength.

The starters of the Western Conference All-Stars are just as glamorous: Magic, Jordan, Chambers (Wilkins was injured), Malone, Olajuwon.

Louis didn't communicate much with the members of the East Star Team. They were all old acquaintances, so they just chatted casually.

In the opening game, the Western Stars won the jump ball, the Eastern Stars gave a chance, the penalty area was emptied, and the Magic wanted to give Chambers an alley-oop.

The tens of thousands of spectators in the King's Arena were about to call out, but Chambers was not prepared enough, he didn't jump to the top, and the ball in his hand was smashed.

In the All-Star Game at this time, the defense of both sides is online, and the intensity is not as high as usual, but it is not enough to defend with eyes.

In the opening few balls, neither team played well.

Then, Sampson made a long pass to Bird, and Bird passed McHale with a single-handed cannonball.

McHale made an easy layup and scored 2 points.

Next, Jordan broke the defense of the Eastern Stars and came in for a dunk.

After playing for 2 minutes, Louie found that Wilson couldn't touch the ball, so he replaced him with Dr. J, whom everyone expected.

At the beginning of the season, Dr. J announced that this year will be his last season.

After John Havlicek, another man gets the retirement tour treatment.

This is his final game in the All-Star Game, and Louie will give him the most minutes if he can.

After he came up, he felt good in his hands and made a one-step jumper inside the three-point line that he didn't usually shoot in games.

The competition officially entered the respect for the elderly and respect for the landlord.

The Eastern Stars intentionally let Chambers perform, and his defensive intensity is very low.

Chambers dunks at will.

Dr. J is too old to dunk, and mostly shoots.

It seemed so abstract, a guy who couldn't shoot the ball, turned into the prince of jump shots in his last All-Star game.

In addition to allowing the landlords to play and giving the veterans a stage, the other people's matchups hide a battle of spirits.

Bird and Magic, Jordan and Bird, Sampson and Olajuwon.

Bird must be the busiest, and the two big shots in the West want to challenge him.

With an attitude of not rejecting anyone who came, he saw one and hit one.

Chambers scored a lot of points secretly. In 6 minutes, he scored 14 points and helped the Western Conference Stars establish an advantage. This is obviously for the AMVP.

In line with the principle of taking Dr. J as the protagonist and allowing everyone to have time, Louis changed people diligently.

Then a problem was discovered.

Wilson seems to be sidelined by his teammates?

In the most typical rounds, Wilson has a vacancy, but Thomas does not pass.

The three made a fast break, Wilson on the left had a chance to make an alley-oop, and Thomas insisted on dunking Bird on the right.

Sampson didn't even look at Wilson.

Bird glanced at Wilson, then ignored him.

The source of being excluded is the Celtics Big Three.

Louis would naturally think of the incident where Jordan was frozen. Although that incident did not happen on this plane, is there a similar cause and effect?
Why did the Celtics take the lead in freezing Wilson?
Louie searches for the source of Freezing Wilson, and there are many clues that the source is Isiah Thomas.

His attitude towards Wilson was indifferent, and he was almost ignored.

Byrd and Sampson and others were all tied to the warship.

Later, Louie found out that Barkley was not dumping Wilson either.

All kinds of strange things happened to the Eastern Stars.

After Louis called a timeout, he replaced the depressed Wilson and called Barkley to his side.

"Chuck, if you're a man, tell me what the hell you're doing, why don't you pass the ball to Benj?" Louie said angrily, "Is it fun to have so many of you targeting a rookie?"

Barkley remembered how much Chicago hated Louie, and at this time deliberately broke his face and did not respond.

"Ignore me, right? Well, I thought Charles Barkley was such a bright and upright man, but I didn't expect him to be as insidious as some narrow-minded dwarves. You are a fucking dark bastard."

"I'm not, I have the right not to talk to you!" Buckley turned his face away after finishing speaking.

"Okay, then tell me if that dwarf in Boston did the trick, and if yes, just nod!" Louis said coldly.

Barkley nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, get out!" Louis sent him away.

What was Thomas' motivation for freezing Wilson?Eye drops for young people?don't like him?Why?Because he is a Chicagoan who is loved by thousands?But he didn't play for the Bulls, which doesn't make sense.

Louie could understand that Thomas froze Jordan during the All-Star Game, because Jordan was really ostentatious at the time. He was wearing a bright red jersey and a big gold chain like an upstart. The logos of various sponsors on his body were extremely dazzling, and he was regarded as a savior by the Chicagoans.

It's understandable that he can't get used to Jordan, but he can't get used to Wilson?A young guy from Chicago who has never provoked him, who is born in Chicago and works hard outside, why should he be bullied by him?
At the end of the first half, Wilson scored 6 shots when he was on the same field with Stockton, which was considered enjoyable.

During this period, Louis walked up to Thomas and asked with a sullen face, "Isaiah, what do you mean?"

"Coach Lu taught that kid what respect is." Thomas seemed to feel that he was on the right side.

Louis laughed angrily: "I want to know, why doesn't Benj respect you?"

"He only has eyes for Larry and no one else," Thomas said dryly. "I have to teach him something."

"That's it?"

"Yes."

What a despicable and terrible self-esteem?

Louis turned around and said, "You can't blame Benj, because beside Larry, you are really small like an ant. It's not Benj's fault, it's your fault. Why do you look like Larry and Ralph's follower?"

Thomas clenched his fists, the Louis in front of him was still the same as before, the bastard who looked down on him completely.

"What happened in the first half, I can pretend it didn't happen." Louis sneered, "If you stop here, I won't hold you accountable, and I will be very grateful to you for giving Benj a chance to hate you. If you are still like this in the second half, don't blame me for being merciless."

Louis' threat was also heard by others.

It could be seen that he was very annoyed and tried his best to restrain himself. Does anyone want to blow him up?

This is not the first time Louis has been the head coach of the star team. In 1984, he was also the coach of the eastern star team. Who was the person who provoked him that year?Bernard King.

Not to mention that King was subdued by Louis in the Knicks, but in that All-Star Game, Louis humiliated the former, which made many people who experienced it feel scared when they think about it.

"Isaiah, since you've vented your anger, let's stop here."

Julius Erwin, forever good guy image.

"This year is my last All-Star game, don't make everyone unhappy."

"How about it, Isaiah?" Dr. J asked with a smile, "Do me a favor?"

Thomas asked Louie for instructions: "Don't put me on the field with that kid."

Louis couldn't help laughing: "What kind of shameless stupid dog are you? Do you think Benj wants to play with you? You are a leper in his eyes. Who wants to play with you? One of the most important reasons for me to leave Boston is that I don't want to coach you, an idiot. You don't need to remind me of this kind of thing, just get out of my presence!"

These may be one of the two most serious words that Louie said that hurt Thomas.

Thomas walked away with a trembling face.

"Did you find pleasure in hurting him?" Bird asked.

Bird seemed to have forgotten that the angry Louis was a mad dog who would bite anyone he saw.

"Don't think that you have nothing to do with it. I'm just too lazy to scold you. Don't pretend to be a fucking good person here. What kind of good thing do you think you are? Go away and don't talk to me!"

"That bastard is a mad dog!"

Bird was scolded until 2 minutes before the end of the first half, he entered the player channel early and went to the locker room.

At the end of the first half, the Western Stars took a big lead.

The eastern star team seems to have a strong lineup, but there are many internal contradictions and they cannot cooperate well at all.

Louis deliberately waited for Wilson to leave the court and told him about Isiah Thomas: "Now you know what happened, don't go to him to argue, just remember this, next time you play against the Celtics, I want to see fire in your eyes."
