Chapter 614 The Destroyed Indiana Professional Basketball
Chapter 614 The Destroyed Indiana Professional Basketball

Louie is forced to take part in one thing.

It's about DC Corporation's publicity campaign.

This DC is the company you think of that serializes superhero comics.They recently conducted a poll.

Readers are asked to vote on whether Batman lives or dies in the latest issue.

Louie didn't read comics, and his children were not yet old enough to understand comics. He voted along because he accidentally discovered that Wilson called on everyone to vote for "live votes."

Because of Wilson, the entire Knicks team, except Louie, voted for "Let him live."

Only Louie, who voted "Don't let him live".

He didn't want to fight against Wilson, he just knew very well that this was all the company's routine, anyway, regardless of whether Batman was dead or alive, as one of the most popular characters in superhero comics, he would never die.

Moreover, this voting activity brought back memories from a long time ago.Before his time travel, he was a fan of "Love Apartment".The notoriously copy-and-stitch show left a huge cliffhanger as its second season wrapped up.The crew let the audience decide whether Brother Zeng would leave the iPartment with 100 million yuan, or give up 100 million yuan for love and friendship.

Although Louis still couldn't figure out what the relationship between the 100 million and whether to leave or not, and what the 2010 million could do in Shanghai in 100, he voted to let Zeng go.I just wanted to know what would happen if Brother Zeng, who is like Jerusalem to the West in this drama, left. As a result, although Brother Zeng took 100 million and left, he didn't leave completely.Because the writers always have a way to bring him back.

So Louie voted for Batman to die.

The final result of the vote was a majority in favor of Batman's death.

This can be regarded as one of the things that impressed Louis this year besides winning the championship.

Then there's the fact that Wayne Gretzky was traded to Los Angeles.A transaction that shocked people's attention can be called the largest transaction in NHL history.

The all-time best was traded at its peak, covering multiple players, draft picks and $1500 million in cash.

Although there are many trivial matters, Louis's progress has never stopped.

The Knicks started the new season amidst the expectations of the outside world.

Achieved two consecutive victories and played against the Chicago Bulls at home.

Keeping Dennis Johnson in the offseason, coupled with Barkley slowly entering his prime, turned the Bulls into a team worthy of attention.

However, the Knicks' defense allowed the Bulls to commit 20 turnovers.

Wilson scored 18 points on the counterattack alone, scored 32 points easily, led the team 121 to 80, and slaughtered the Bulls with 41 points.

"It's not difficult." Louis said with a relaxed face, "We plan to end the November schedule with a complete victory."

Everyone found that the frivolous Louis in 1984 was back.

The next game is away, they come to Washington, the opposing lineup, has the former King of New York Bernard King.

Louie deliberately let Rodman replace Miller's starting lineup to man-mark King.

As a result, his defense was in place.

Facing King's offense, Rodman's defense was impenetrable, controlling all possible problematic points to death.

The head coach of the Bullets, Wes Unseld, a famous player of the Bullets, said distressedly: "We don't have an answer on how to limit the Knicks. In turn, the Knicks have an answer to us."

Last year, when Unseld and Bill Russell took over as coach at the same time, there was a lot of discussion.

After all, when these two players were players, they were team-oriented, with good golf intelligence and leadership, and they are definitely not bad as coaches.

But Russell already had a failed coaching experience in the 70s.

This time, together with Unseld, he proved once again that today's alliance is not the one they are galloping in.

Unseld's Bullets were beaten by the Knicks.

At the end of the game, Louis held a 34-point advantage and said to his seniors: "Sorry, I only wanted to win by 20 points at first."

"Don't be too crazy, young man, the regular season is very long." Unseld could only leave the stage with a harmless sentence.

On Singles' Day in 1988, the Knicks ushered in another battle of focus.

away game against the Indiana Pacers.

If it was the Pacers before this year, it might not attract much attention.

But now they have the No. 1988 pick in the [-] draft, Danny Manning.

Louie didn't know that, because of the butterfly effect caused by his arrival, Manning was not thrown into rookie hell with the Los Angeles Clippers, but instead went to the more professional and intelligent Pacers in every way.

Therefore, this genius who fell into basketball hell in Louie's previous life may not necessarily fall into Indiana.

In several games so far this season, Manning has played like a small forward, averaging 18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

It is rare for CBS to live broadcast the games of weak teams, which is one of the contradictions between them and the league.

The league doesn't want CBS to always broadcast the top contenders while ignoring the equally important underdogs.For CBS, which values ​​ratings more than life, strong teams are the guarantee of ratings.

The Knicks are the best team in the league, and most of their games are broadcast live.

Against the Pacers today, it was their most brutal game since the start of the new season.

The coach of the Pacers is Jack Ramsey, the meritorious coach of the Blazers, and one of the old coaches that Louis once respected very much.

However, more and more news broke out that Louie played a key role in the Blazers' selection of Jordan in the 1984 draft, which made Ramsey very angry.Even if the Blazers' choice has been proven to be correct-Jordan took off, Bowie fell-but Louie's doing that is a rough interference in the internal affairs of his team, which is against the rules and stretches his hand too long.

Ramsey therefore told reporters: "I respect most teams, except New York, because their coach is a spoiled brat."

The thing is, Louie doesn't see himself as spoiled.

He suggested that the Blazers chose Jordan because they wanted to repay Larry Weinberg's favor, and by the way, play the duty that a traveler should do-change history for fun.

Ramsey only cared about his meddling in the Blazers' affairs, and completely ignored him to prevent the Blazers from being nailed to the pillar of shame, which made Louie lose all respect for him.

On the night of the game, Louie asked the players to fire up.

Wilson and Ewing responded to the call, scoring 26 points in the first quarter, and the others 7 points.

33 to 18 start.

Danny Manning's confrontation is at a disadvantage, and he can't adapt to the Knicks' melee tactics at all.

The proud No. [-] pick wants to win dignity for his team, but some dignity can't be obtained by determination or other things alone.

Manning fell to the floor seven times.

The sixth time, he hurt his ankle, and the seventh time, he was carried off on a stretcher.

Legendary Pacers commentator "Slick" Leonard said, "The Knicks are as rude as a primitive!"

Neither Leonard nor the Indiana expected that An Ning's injury was just a small thing they had to experience tonight.

Reggie Miller, who should have been wearing the Pacers jersey, is now a pure Knick.

He also listened to what Louis said.

And Louis has a special kind of evil taste, he likes to watch this group of people kill his boss in his previous life.

After Miller's three-pointer opened, Louis asked the players to run tactics and make the ball for him.

Entering the second season of his career, Miller began to show killer instinct.

His amazing shooting touch allows him to quickly hit the second ball when he hits the first ball.

In Louie's previous life, Miller's single-game three-point record was eight goals.Moreover, similar performance, he only brought two games.This does not mean that there is a gap between him and the group of shooters in the small ball era who will score seven or eight three-pointers in the future.

Because the focus of tactics is different.

Shooters in the small ball era only shot three-pointers, while Miller in the Pacers era, three-pointers were only the main method, but not the only method. Don't forget, he is the only off-ball shooter in history who is the core of team building.

In his 18-year career, he averaged 18 points per game, but only made 1.8 three-pointers per game. Due to the limitations of the times, Miller didn't shoot a lot of three-pointers.

It can be said that his three-point power is a bit limited by the times.

But under Louis, there is no such restriction.

Louis does not intend to use Miller as the core, he hopes that Miller will become Klay Thompson under him.

Tonight, Miller granted Louie his wish.

Facing the Pacers, he made 12 of 7 three-pointers from the outside, plus mid-range and rotation offense.

Miller scored a career-high 39 points.

From the second quarter on, the game became a Knicks show.

They take pleasure in slaughtering their opponents.

At the end of the three quarters, the Knicks' lead reached 50 points.

Half of the Pacers home audience left.

Before the end of the fourth quarter, less than 1/5 of the fans left on the scene.

The whole game, 139 to 74, has not seen such a bloody game in the league for a long time.

The Pacers lost to the Knicks at home with a huge gap of 65 points.

Jack Ramsey pushed Louis away during the post-match handshake session, blushing and roaring: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you should come to me, you shouldn't humiliate my players!"

Louie spread his arms and said, "I used 13 players in this game. Even so, you still can't narrow the score. Why do you blame me? In my opinion, the only way to make you narrow the gap is to allow me to use three players or four players to play against your five players."

If you want to know what extreme humiliation is, this is it.

Louis didn't do it deliberately, he just fully knew the strength of his team.

In one night, the dignity of Indiana's professional basketball was completely destroyed by him.

For a long time, it was difficult to look up.

Being beaten for 65 points at home is too ugly.

"Actually, it's nothing." "The New York Times" wrote the vicious sports reporters, "Leader Lu led the Celtics to win 81 points in Dallas."
