the rest, only noise

Chapter 749 Thank you, Klaus

Reggie Williams dived to save the ball, forcing the pass that the Knicks had already missed, and forced it back.

Sam Bowie got the ball from beyond the arc, ran out of time and had to force a shot.

He went in.

With 22 seconds left in the game, the Lakers trailed by 15 points. Even if Tracy McGrady was parachuted onto their field at 35 seconds and 13 minutes, the outcome could not be changed.

Stevens was as happy as a child.

Wilson is no longer defensive.

Tragedy dribbled the ball and had no intention of continuing to attack.If he wants to brush up the data, he can go to the basket, anyway, the Knicks won't guard him anymore.

He didn't do that.

He dribbles the ball and waits for the clock to run out.

9-8-7-6
Louie picked up the Coke, performed the classic one-handed unscrewing of the easy-tie buckle, and by the end of the game, MSG fans flooded the field.

In fact, Louie was not as happy as he appeared on the outside.

This championship is different from the first championship in 1984, and it is also different from the first championship of the Knicks era in 1988.

Just like their second championship, because the core players of the Lakers are plagued by injuries, they are bound to not be their opponents.

This year's championship represents the Knicks' three consecutive championships in the Louis era.

What's the hardest part?For Louis, the hardest part is the Eastern Conference series against the Celtics, and the Lakers have not been a problem from start to finish.

Although the Lakers dragged the game to Game [-], the Celtics were the team he feared.

The result is satisfactory, but for Louis, it is not so happy.

Maybe he really won.

But he is the kind of person who needs challenges, stimulation, and difficult things.

When he left the Celtics, the main reason was that Auerbach was holding him back. What about the secondary reason?If anything, it's that the team is good enough that there's nothing more worthwhile for him.

Now the Knicks seem to be in the same situation.

At first glance, it seems that there is no opponent.

The Celtics are getting older, and the Lakers have to deal with Kevin Johnson first, and then figure out how to beat the Knicks.

For the Blazers, Jordan, who has been led astray, and Drexler, who is unwilling to be a small player, may explode at any time.

Louis could not have imagined that he would be so arrogant that he dared to look down on the heroes of the world "only" after winning three consecutive championships.

"You won the championship, why are you not happy at all?" Ewing asked strangely.

Louis asked with a fake smile, "Didn't you see the smile on my face?"

"Obvious smirk."

"Is it so obvious?"

"Anyway, I can see it."

Well, even this guy can see it, so who else can't see it?

"Never mind, I'm actually very happy, just thinking about something else."

Louie soon ran out of time to be pretentious, because the fans who rushed into the stadium were irrational.

They want to celebrate with the team staff.

Whether it's a player or a coach.

Opposite the Knicks, the Lakers ended up lonely.

Since 1980, the tragic Lakers have reached the Finals 11 times in 9 seasons, and only won the championship twice in 1980 and 1982.Then, the disaster that established the name of the tragic division began. Since 1983, they have suffered a seven-game losing streak in the finals.

Elgin Baylor, known as the most unlucky player in history, lost 8 times.

As the first generation of tragedies, Baylor was very happy.

Although he is the most qualified player in the world to be called Mr. Lakers, his breakup with the Lakers was not pleasant, and he did not have any intersection with the Lakers in the Buss era. In addition, he did not win any championships. Therefore, Jenny Buss can boldly exclude him and LOGO from the list of the best five players in the history of the Lakers in the future.

Now he is a happy old man.

As the general manager of the Knicks, he helped the team win three consecutive championships. He didn't win any rings in his player days, but now he has three championship rings. Although he is not a player, he is just as precious.

"Jerry, I have as many rings as you do."

Baylor said happily.

This is not a challenge, West smiled wryly.

In the subsequent FMVP selection, there is no suspense.

Benjamin Wilson continued his dominance from Game [-] of the regular season to the closing game of the Finals.

此战，他拿下39分12篮板13助攻，年仅22岁零9个月的本杰明·威尔逊得到了职业生涯的第一座FMVP奖杯。

He became the third Grand Slam player in Knicks history to complete MVP+FMVP+double first team after Ewing.

It is worth mentioning that although there was not much suspense in the sixth game of the finals, 3100 million Americans still watched the game.

This broke the record so far.

What's more worth mentioning is that Game 4, which was hindered by the alliance, was the game with the lowest ratings in the series.To some extent, this gave the league's top executives a clear indication.If you want the game to look good, you have to watch the dishes.

Some coaches don't know how to make the game look good, of course you have an obligation to help him make the game look good.

But someone like Louis doesn't like to be manipulated by others, and he doesn't like to be angry. Once you want to provoke him, although he can't do anything to you, he has ways to mess up your affairs, such as making the game extremely ugly.

Louie's call with David Stern set the tone for the next two Finals games.

The final result is that the league welcomes the high ratings, the Knicks win three consecutive championships, the Lakers welcome seven consecutive championships and internal explosions, everyone has a bright future.

The next day, the issue of whether the NBA's CBS era is over has entered the headlines of various media.

After the golden 80s, in the first year of the 90s, the momentum of the league did not weaken, but became more attractive because of the rise of the Knicks.

That's up to the league's negotiators and the TV stations.

The focus of Louie's work is the 1990 draft.

They just ended the most powerful season of the Knicks in terms of hard power in the Louis era.

Because they got Sam Bowie and Reggie Williams without major losses.

Williams will be a member of the Knicks for years to come.

And Bowie's contract has expired. Based on his performance in the Knicks, many teams will give him a big contract.

At the same time, Danny Ainge's contract is about to expire, and Louis is not sure if they want to keep Ainge.

At the same time, and most importantly, Hornacek's contract will also expire this summer.

If someone offers a big contract to Bowie, Louie will definitely not follow up the offer, so Bowie will go.

Whether Angie stays or not can be discussed again. As for Hornacek, of course Louis wants to stay. It is difficult to find a seventh man as good as him.

He has always been an important substitute for the Knicks at the No. [-] and No. [-] positions in the Louis era. It is too rare for a white guard who can play two guard positions.

But Louie recognized reality.

Hornacek has won three championships with the team and is at his personal peak. He wants a big contract and a higher tactical status, which the Knicks cannot give.

The person Louis most wanted to keep was the one he couldn't keep.

Therefore, Louie needs to prepare for the worst-the team may lose three important rotations at the same time.

Although these three are missing, their lineup depth is still staggering, but Bowie and Hornacek are very important role players. If they are not replenished in time, next season will be in trouble.

But Louis is not in a hurry, they have a choice.

This year, the Knicks have only two draft picks.

One first round, one second round.

This first round is a bit of a mystery. Many years ago-oh no, in fact, four years ago, Louie made a deal with Bulls general manager Jerry Krause.

The content of the transaction is to take the second overall pick in 1986 in exchange for Kevin McHale plus a number of draft picks.

As we all know, Krause traded back the No. [-] pick for a dead man.

The Bulls were destined to screw up Barkley's peak period from then on. In order to shirk responsibility, Klaus could only pour dirty water on Louie.

Yes, Louis admitted that he was responsible for this matter, and he must have held a gun to Klaus's head to force the other party to trade.

Believe it or not, Chicagoans do.

The Bulls have struggled since then, and the Knicks have yet to digest the legacy of that trade.

This year, the final value of that deal will be realized -- the Knicks have the right to swap their 1990 first-round pick with the Bulls.

Thanks to Louie's "help" last summer, the Bulls came to the new season with an extremely garbage lineup. Even Barkley averaged 28 points, 14.4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, shooting 56% from the field, but did not take the team out of the lottery zone.

The Bulls fell to the bottom 8 in the league.

After that, they drew the eighth pick in the first round of the 1990 draft in May.

How should I say this?Louis could only feel gratitude in his heart.

Thank you, Klaus.

The draft is still close to two weeks away, and the offseason is still early, but the thunder that should explode has basically exploded.

Isaiah Thomas is not happy. The ambition that was hanging by winning in the early years can't be hidden now.

Drexler was not happy, why the Trail Blazers are Jordan's team, obviously he came first.

Barkley was not happy because the general manager was stupid.

Kevin Johnson was not happy for the same reason as the glider.

If it weren't for the Knicks having to prepare for the draft, Louis would have left his business to concentrate on eating melons. Wouldn't this be more exciting than the finals?
