the rest, only noise

Chapter 795 The Name of Tragedy
On November 1991, 11, the Knicks played the Heat back-to-back at home.

As the team with the biggest changes during the offseason, the Heat's performance in the new season is exciting.

They could start with Petrovic as the starting point guard, along with Steve Smith, Reggie Lewis, Dale Davis and Hank Geithers.

This lineup does not seem to be underestimated.

Although Lewis found a heart problem in a follow-up examination, Miami has the best heart surgeon in the world, and Gaithers has made steady progress in the past two years under the control of drugs.

All the Heat need to do is control their playing time.

This game happened to be the Heat's first game of the new season.

After Billy Owens made a bad debut, some people began to react, and the Heat are likely to be the big winners of the trade.

Reggie Lewis has initially proved his strength in the Celtics. As long as Steve Smith plays his worth, it is really a win.

In Steve Smith's career debut, against the wolf-like Knicks, his performance was 11 of 5 shots, 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

It can be seen that he is indeed not a player with a very high ceiling, but his existing skills are enough for him to survive in the league.

He has beautiful shooting moves, can hit the mid-range, has the confidence of singles on the weak side, and can help Petrovic control the ball, with good organizational skills.

When he hits the top, his "The Smitty" turn will find its way into the league, as widely used as any technique named after a person.

Louie would presumably see Smith as a player on the level of Joe Johnson and Khris Middleton.

Looking at it this way, the Celtics deal is even more exciting.

They traded two future All-Stars for a starting-level parallel import.

Excited, Louie called Smith one of the best rookies by the end of the game.

During the game, the Heat caused some trouble for the Knicks, but it didn't affect the overall situation.

The Knicks won their second game in a row.

Then there was a three-day offseason. On November 11, the Knicks beat the Bucks 5 to 133.

Ewing scored 41 points and 9 rebounds in a single game.

He could have hit a 40+10 double-double, but Rodman was too good at stealing.

Now Rodman has completely grown into the look that Louis is familiar with, with colorful hair, a perpetual motion-like defensive machine, and an average of 15 rebounds per game.

"Dennis is heading towards his second DPOY and I think he's promising," Louie said.

The Knicks' internal struggles this year are not as sharp as last season.

The presence of Chris Jackson blocks many questions.

But as long as there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be competition.

There is still fierce competition within the Knicks.

Rodman played well at the four, but it didn't affect the Knicks' other power forward shining on the bench.

三年级的肖恩·坎普，成为了队内的第六人，场均24分钟内拿下19分6篮板1.5抢断和1盖帽。

To maintain this momentum, he is the Sixth Man of the Year.

This is what Louis is worried about.

With Kemp's strength, he is enough to be the main force of other teams outside the Knicks, and a considerable number of teams will regard him as an inside core to train.

But in the Knicks, that's impossible.

Rodman is in the starting lineup, and the inside core is not his turn. The 29-year-old Ewing is at the peak of his sports career.

At this time, Kemp can play as a substitute with peace of mind, because this is only his third year, and next year, his contract year will come, and his strength will be further improved. Will he be satisfied with the position of a substitute?
Although people's hearts have slapped Louis in the face, such as Isaiah Thomas, most people's hearts are as profit-seeking as Louis thought, and it is difficult to suppress their desires.

The second is the struggle between Ewing and Wilson.

Last season, the rivalry between the two heated up.

If Wilson hadn't been injured halfway, I don't know how it would end.

Ewing fought for a long time, but he didn't win anything except the team's scoring champion.

He won the statistics, Wilson won the hearts, popularity and FMVP, and Sampson won the Grand Slam throughout the year.

This year, Ewing is more data-hungry.

Because he is about to enter the seventh year of his career, when he signed the 10-year 3000 million Shock League, most people only looked at how much money he made, and ignored some special terms in his contract.

For example, when this contract is implemented to the seventh year, Ewing has a player option.

That is to say, next summer, he can jump out of this contract.

This is what Ewing has been looking forward to for a long time.

10 million in 3000 years was a big "WTF" contract in 1985, and now it's just an ordinary maximum salary.

In this age of Wilson's annual salary of 400 million, how can Ewing satisfy himself with 300 million a year?
The above is the focus of all the Knicks' contradictions.

There are many problems left over from last season, but these problems are almost insoluble.

They're there for one season, and then the next season, and the next season, until the player gets old, or someone quits, or gets injured, or something goes wrong.

April 11

The Knicks have no game, and the next game is tomorrow, which is still an away game.

In the afternoon, Louie originally planned to look back at a miraculous reversal in the NCAA competition a few days ago.

This game is not a basketball game, but American football.

Nevada State trailed by 35 in the first half.

Trailing by 15 points at halftime in American football is not much different than trailing by 50 points in three quarters in basketball.And Nevada State achieved an unprecedented reversal in the second half.

The longer he lived in America, the wider Louie's interests became.

His main business is basketball, but he will watch all kinds of games.

MLB, NFL, NHL, as long as there is competition, he is willing to watch.

Because these games help him integrate into American culture, at least in daily chats, when people talk about these things, he won't sit there like a fool and don't know how to participate.

Louie had thought that he would not get any more shocking news today than Yeltsin's announcement that prostitution was illegal in Russia.

As a result, at 4:20 p.m., the office phone rang.

Louis picked up the phone and asked, "Hello, who is there?"

"Coach Lu, it's me." The other party's voice sounded tired, but Louis recognized it, "I'm Erwin."

It was very strange that the tragedian took the initiative to call Louis.

He and the tragedy teacher are considered friends, but the tragedy teacher has friends all over the world. For a person like him, as long as he wants, he can be friends with anyone.

There's nothing easier than being the friend of a tragedian, a player who infuses his style of game into his day-to-day interactions.

A striking example, even an idol like Jordan would feel impatient if he held a two-hour sneaker signing.

But the tragedy teacher will not, he will treat every fan with a warm smile and full enthusiasm, and all the fans who have come into contact with him will not say that he is a big name, he is too approachable.

Because of the rivalry between the Knicks and the Lakers, Louie's personal relationship with Travis was not close.

At this time, he called himself. As a time traveler, Louis had something in his mind.

"What's up, Evan?" Louie quipped, "We don't have a match in a while."

"Coach Lu, it seems that I have no chance to beat you and Boston again." The tragedy teacher said regretfully, "I have no chance again."

One of the hardest things in the world is forcing yourself to act stupid when you know what's going on.

"What's wrong, Evan?"

"I'm infected with the HIV virus." The tone of the tragedy teacher seemed to be saying his last words, "I'm done here."

Although Louis and the tragedy teacher are not that familiar, it is an important part of high society communication.

Tragedians know how to consider others.

Louis knew that since he made this call, it meant that the Lakers were going to announce the news that the tragedian was infected with HIV in the near future.

By that time, all the heavyweights in the league will be frequently asked this question by the media.

The tragedian told Louis the news in advance, so he could prepare early.

Louis sighed. At the end of last season's finals, the tragic teacher's heartbreaking speech was still fresh in his memory.

He couldn't help but remind the other party.

But that level of reminder obviously cannot prevent bad luck from coming.

The arrival of Louis turned the magician into a tragedian, and now he wants to interpret the name of the tragedian to the end.

After tying Elgin Baylor in the number of total runners-up, the tragic division is undoubtedly the number one loser in the 80s and 90s, and he has no chance to prove himself.

At present, about 100 million people in the United States are infected with the HIV virus, but being infected with the HIV virus does not mean that they have AIDS.These are two concepts with obvious differences, but to people there is no difference. The public only knows that 60% of AIDS patients have died in the past few years. Once the news is announced, for Americans, the tragedian is a dying person.

Louie asked, "What can I do for you, Evan?"

"If you can." The tragedy teacher said, "Join the dream team, Coach Lu, even if you can't go to Barcelona, ​​I will fully support you."
