the rest, only noise

Chapter 731 Are you ready to fight for the rise of the national basketball team?

119 is better than 102
In Game 17 of the Finals, the Knicks beat the Lakers by [-] points.

Pat Riley to Louie: "Before the next game, I'll crack your pick-and-roll."

Louis said lightly: "If you can't crack it, I will be very disappointed."

Despite the successful result, the Knicks still lost home court advantage.

CBS front-line reporter Viser Leslie asked: "Coach Lu, you will play three consecutive away games in the future. Will losing the home court advantage of the series bring additional psychological burden to the away games?"

Since 1985, the format of the NBA Finals has become 2-3-2. This schedule is obviously beneficial to the post team.

Just like the current situation of the Lakers, as long as they play a good home game, the probability of winning is not small.

"No team can win us three games in a row," Louie said arrogantly. "No, I don't even think any team can win us two games in a row."

Leslie asked, "So you don't think it's a problem?"

"Of course not. The failure of Game 1 is not a bad thing for us. It made us realize the reality. The Lakers are a strong opponent. We have to use all our strength to deal with them. After that, they will not have another chance."

Louie's self-confidence is the most impressive thing about him.

It is also a characteristic that distinguishes him from other professional basketball coaches.

In his first season, he was dissed by many old coaches because of this characteristic.Later, he "amicably" resolved their differences with one victory after another.

Up to now, no one will be surprised by his wild words.

In addition, some of what Kevin Johnson said in an interview made the good New York media as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

He said: "When you mention the Celtics, you will think of Larry Berd, Ralph Sampson, Isea Thomas, and even Bill Lamy; if you talk about Knicks, you will think of their powerful book list, under Little Lu, Benj, Patrick, Jeff Hovethak, Jeff Honser, Kevin McHel. They were so memorable, but in the Lakers, most reporters only remembered Elvin. "

The Times reporter who interviewed him asked: "Do you think the tragedy master's performance has affected you?"

"No, what I mean is that a team of true champions should let a hundred flowers bloom, not stand alone."

Whatever he meant, it would be misinterpreted by the New York media.

This is the old line of the New York media.

A round of public opinion offensive against the Lakers was launched not long after. Even though the Lakers media has as much influence as the New York media, this wave of rhythm was accidentally triggered by Kevin Johnson during the interview.

Perhaps KJ's meaning is not as complicated as the analysis of the New York media, but he is definitely dissatisfied with the fact that only tragedies in the Lakers team have the privilege.

There are still three days until the start of the next game.

The tragedy teacher came out several times to clarify, and he declared that there was no problem with the Lakers.

The last time, he held a press conference with KJ.

He laughed in front of the media and said: "You always want to make big news and think we will make a fuss about it, but we didn't. KJ is such a person, he always speaks straight, and I think he makes sense. I am the captain of the team. My duty is to keep everyone in the same pace. If people think that the Lakers are the only one who can control the whole situation, it is my dereliction of duty."

This press conference was like a testament to the sovereignty of the tragic master.

The Lakers are a tragic team, and this will not change until he gets old.

His playing style conflicts with Pippen and KJ.But Pippen has enough conditions to change his style of play and make himself more suitable for a tragic player, but KJ is not good. He is a core point guard with poor long-range shots.

Bowen can be used as a space point in the bottom corner anyway, what can KJ do?

Even if he has a five-meter wide open, the Knicks' defenders will not take care of him.

The public opinion offensive launched by the New York media made the Lakers feel uneasy inside and outside the team, and Louie's life was not going well.

Lorraine has been filming recently, leaving early and returning late, and sometimes has to go out of town. When Louis returns home, he has to face his naughty daughter, his mother who doesn't like his eyes, and his eldest son who has gone crazy after practicing.

How much does Lu Wuxia like to play?He doesn't play anything but basketball, and even sleeps with the ball in his arms. For him, the unique taste of the ball makes him feel more secure than Louis.

Louis didn't want Lu Wuxia to like basketball so much.

Because if he doesn't have the talent to play professional basketball in the future, no matter how much he loves this sport, he has to succumb to the skinny reality.

On June 1990, 6, one day before Game 9 of the Finals, Louie and his team were still in New York.

Today, he left the Blue Palace an hour early.

Because he was going to attend Liu Yuqing's high school graduation speech.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Yuqing will be graduating from high school. For Lincoln High School, they are about to usher in a difficult rebuilding period.

Although their head coach Mark Forrester made a good deal with Louis, they did not get Lin Junwu, the top player in the fourth period in the United States.

Louis doesn't care about the future of Lincoln High School, he only cares about Liu Yuqing's future.

In the past year, Liu Yuqing has always been the focus of the recruitment work of major NCAA colleges and universities.

In the senior season of high school, Liu Yuqing averaged 34 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals per game, and his shooting percentage was close to [-]%.

As a shooting guard with a barefoot height of 2 meters, he became the first high school shooting guard in the United States in his senior season.

In April of this year, he was invited to participate in the McDonald's All-American High School All-Star Game, which has many players such as Grant Hill and Sean Bradley.

Liu Yuqing scored 24 points and 4 rebounds in the game, setting a record for the game.

The game cemented his status as a top-[-] player in this class.

Even, some professional scouts think he is the current top five.

Among the high school graduates of 1990, four people's positions are unshakable.

The top three are centers, namely big bamboo pole Sean Bradley, Eric Montross (Eric Montross C), Luther Wright (Luther Wright C) and Grant Hill.

As a tall shooting guard, Liu Yuqing's career prospects have been recognized, and dozens of universities have given him full scholarships.

After communicating with Louis, Liu Yuqing chose UCLA.

This is the school Liu Yuqing chose, and Louis has no objection. He believes that UCLA has a good way of training defenders, especially Liu Yuqing's type of player.

With a clear future, Liu Yuqing is about to follow in the footsteps of Yu Tiancan and Hu Weidong to the NCAA.

Today was his big day, and Louie arrived with a photographer.

He wanted to take pictures of Liu Yuqing's speech.

Because this is very special, Liu Yuqing is an introverted person. He doesn't like the spotlight, and he doesn't like to be noticed. He doesn't know what to do when facing the media, let alone speaking in front of the whole school.

"When I was 15 years old, I got on a plane to the United States. This was the first time in my life. I had never heard of New York, and I knew nothing about Lincoln High School. I only knew that I came here for my dream. I found that this city was more prosperous than I imagined. When I got off the plane, there was nothing in front of me. I sniffed everything around me and walked through the crowd with my companions. Then I saw Coach Road.

He was on the side of the road, greeted us with open arms, and said to us: "Are you ready to fight for the rise of the national basketball team?"

"

Unlike other graduates' speeches, Liu Yuqing's speech did not hear any laughter, and he did not intend to make others laugh.He didn't understand the American practice of mixing all kinds of jokes and jokes in speeches. In his opinion, a speech is a speech, and he doesn't need to make others laugh.

Louis had heard the speeches of Yu Tiancan and Hu Weidong. Unlike Liu Yuqing, the two of them were obviously integrated into the local culture, and the audience laughed non-stop during the speeches.

Liu Yuqing's speech was more like a job report, just like him, at first glance, very boring, but this is his truest side.

Louis has many emotions in his heart. Liu Yuqing is a character who has never appeared in the history of the national basketball team. According to his current reputation, he should be regarded as a top five-star high school student in 1990, a top ten, or even a top five future star in the United States.

What is his future?

In any case, Louis has changed the fate of many people, and he believes that Liu Yuqing's future is limitless.

Like many people, Liu Yuqing is a pearl buried by the times, and Louis took them out and paved the way for the future.

They've come here, and there's no reason why they can't go further in the future.

Louis's mood surged, what else is more important than this?Starting from the status quo, Liu Yuqing, like Yu Tiancan and the others, have a long way to go, and Louis can provide less and less help.But Louis has every reason to look forward to them. They are already on the road, and the road will only get wider and wider.

　Once again, some of these kids from Luyuan will enter the NBA, and some will become mediocre in college.No one will become a superstar in the NBA, only a very few players will grow to the level of an All-Star, but it is not a perennial All-Star like Ming Wang, but a fringe All-Star like Van Jordan this year who made his first and almost certainly his last.Those who occupy the center of the stage will still be those names we are familiar with. The stage for these players who have been excavated by the Road Academy is not here. As for where, guess what?
