the rest, only noise

Chapter 818 Nepotism
Chapter 819 Nepotism

After the All-Star Game, the tragedian Joseph Yoshin organized a press conference and announced that he was retiring.This might be the weirdest retirement announcement ever.

Because in that process, it was full of information that the tragedy master hadn't retired yet.For example, Joseph said: "If I decide to come back, I hope you don't feel awkward. Let's start all over again."

Hearing this, many fans went crazy.After that, the tragedian described how he would return in this way.

He said maybe not playing back-to-backs, maybe not playing as much time, maybe playing fewer road games.

Even if Louis didn't come from time travel, after reading the interview with the Tragedy Master, he can firmly believe that the Tragedy Master will return to the competition in the future.

The identity of the traverser made Louis see more clearly.

He knew that Tragedy made a failed comeback with the Lakers in the later period, but he didn't know the exact year.

He once heard that a certain Lakers fan said that if the magician persisted for a few more years, he would have a chance to be Kobe's teammate.

So even though we don't know the specific year when the magician came back, we can use this information to infer the time of the magician's comeback, which is before 1996, and it should not be 1993 or 1994, and the probability is between 1995 and 1996.

Tragedy performer performed the last dance of the All-Star weekend, and many people were tested for HIV.Including Louie.

He didn't want to do it, but Lorraine insisted that he do it.

In order to win his right to sleep legally, Louie had to go for this test, and the final result, of course, was that he tested negative for HIV.All the people who got tested for HIV because they played in the All-Star Game got the same results.

Some of them shook hands with the tragedian, embraced, and competed in the same field. If AIDS can be spread through close contact, someone will definitely be recruited.

Since there are no new cases, it means that the tragedy master's illness is not as terrible as the legends say, as long as he is properly controlled, he can still play games.

For more than ten days after that, everyone was arguing about whether the tragedian should go to Barcelona.

This event is even more popular than the Dream Team player selection.

Regardless of whether the tragedy division goes or not, the Dream Team still has a spot.

Many people want it.

It seems that the most qualified person is Clyde Drexler. The glider found that no one was paying attention to this matter, so he wanted to make his own voice and bring everyone's attention back.

However, there are very few people who talk to him.

The focus of the league's work is to strive for the participation of the tragedy division.

From the day the tragedian announced that he was infected with the HIV virus, the NBA and the American Basketball Association have been doing their homework. They have found many experts and doctors in related fields to conduct research.No one said that a tragedy division can't play in the Olympics.

Therefore, there has never been a vote on "whether to allow tragedy masters to participate in the Olympic Games" within the selection committee.

Tragedy is still on the Dream Team. He didn't say no to playing, and no one banned him from playing. The All-Star Game proved that he can play without affecting the health of others.

Therefore, when the American Basketball Association denied that the tragedy master was fired, the subtext was actually "the tragedy master will go to Barcelona with the team."

The news was encouraging, but some disagreed.

A large group of people, to be exact.

They're not in the US, they're in Australia.

Hearing that the Americans intend to bring the tragedian to Barcelona, ​​they publicly stated: "If the Americans insist on disregarding the safety of others, considering the potential risks, if we have to play against the US team, and the tragedian is really brought to the field by them, then we will give up the competition for the gold medal."

The subtext of this passage is not difficult to understand. If the dream team insists on bringing the tragedy division, the Australians will strike against the dream team.

In Louis's memory, Australia has always been the political dog of the Americans. It is the kind of good dog that would rather starve itself than make the owner feel at ease. He did not expect to have such a firm stand on this matter.

On February 2, the Knicks challenged the Nets away.

A reporter relayed the protest of the Australians to Louis.

Louis heard the words and said sarcastically: "Great, should I be glad that the Dream Team has lost a competitor?"

Those who understand the level of sarcasm in Louie's words will naturally understand, because the gold medal has never been a problem for the Dream Team, and whether the Australians strike or not has no effect on the result.

It is not surprising that the Basketball Association and the League are deadly savers. As one of the most famous American sports stars in the 80s, if the Dream Team deserves its name, it must find a way to get these people together on the team.

What Louis didn't expect was that besides Drexler, there was also his player John Stockton who had ideas about the dream team.

In fact, it cannot be said that only Drexler and Stockton have ideas. It can only be said that there are not many people who have both ideas and abilities.

Few players can compete with Drexler.

Stockton's devotion to the country can be learned from the world. In the 1984 Olympic selection team, he was the last batch to leave the team.

According to Stockton's wife, he cried in his room when he returned home.

That was one of Stockton's biggest regrets.

Now, the Dream Team needs ball handlers, the only pure point guard is Isiah Thomas, and the head coach is still Louie, who thinks he can fight for the last spot through nepotism.

This kind of idea in Stockton was something Louis hadn't thought about beforehand.

In his mind, it was an accident for Stockton to join the Dream Team.

In Louie's previous life, the reality was that no one wanted to be teammates with Thomas, and the team couldn't live without a pure point guard. Therefore, an unpretentious porter and passer like Stockton was the most suitable for those beasts.

The dream team actually doesn't need a pure point guard, because there is a tragedy master, he can play point guard in the NBA, and playing international games is naturally a no-brainer.

In addition to the tragedies, people like Jordan and Benj can also play as point guards in a short period of time.Even, Louis remembered that Stockton played very few games during the Barcelona Olympics due to leg and foot injuries, and performed poorly in the limited playing time, basically making up the number of people.

In this life, although Stockton averaged more than 13 assists per game for several consecutive seasons and was selected to the All-Star and Third Team, not many people think he is very strong.

Strong is the Knicks, not Stockton.

This is the consensus of the alliance.

He suddenly proposed that he wanted to compete for the rest of the Dream Team, which made Louis a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted to give Dell Ellis the remaining spot, because there are no pure shooters in the dream team.

But if Stockton wanted the opportunity, Louie would go for it anyway.

Stockton had previously uncharacteristically swiped the numbers in order to gain attention, but the result was still ignored.

This time, he invited Louis to dinner, and said in person: "Coach, I want to join the dream team."

Stockton wanted an answer.

Whether he can enter the dream team, whether he is enough to enter the dream team.

If he can enter, Louis will directly agree.

If there is a problem, Louis will hesitate and push back and forth, so he doesn't have to bother.

"Is this your wish?"

"This is a regret that I can't recover even if I win ten NBA championships." Stockton said amazingly.

Louis knew his attitude.

"You say that because you have won many championships. If you fail again and again like a tragedian, you will find that the taste of championships is sweeter than you imagined." Louis paused, "But since you said this is your biggest regret, then I will help you."

"Thank you, coach."

"You're welcome, John, I'm glad you brought it up. If it was Patrick, he might not invite me to dinner at all. Even if he wanted to invite me to dinner, he would find a good-sounding reason to invite me to his restaurant and hint at me in various ways that people on Earth can't understand."

Stockton laughed silently.

He knew Louie was just joking.

Louie would say bad things about Ewing every day, in person and behind him.

The frequency is so high that whenever Ewing sneezes, he suspects that Louis is speaking ill of him behind his back.

In March, Louie submitted a list to USA Basketball of 10 players who wanted to be on the Dream Team but had no clear advantage over other contenders.

Louis hopes that after the end of the season, they can come to participate in the training camp together, so that he can determine the last spot through the performance of the training camp for a period of time.
