the rest, only noise

Chapter 896
Chapter 897 High-Level Changes

The Knicks' five-peat celebration party was held at the Harbor House in Manhattan's Battery Park.

This is the most memorable waterfront view of Manhattan and a New York landmark.

From the VIP list, we can see many hot stars.

Like Madonna, Spike Lee, Samuel "Mary Falke" Jackson. Jackson's nickname was accidentally seen by Louis when he was online in his previous life. According to the statistics of the American media, Jackson is the star who has used the most violent words in movies since the 80s and likes to say "Mary Falcon" the most.

"Coach Lu, don't you want to introduce me to Dennis?" Madonna came to Louis.

Close contact with Madonna, Louis can feel the charm of the queen.

Lorraine may be more beautiful than her, but she doesn't have Madonna's confident aura and conceit that can overwhelm all beings.

"Yes." Louie said truthfully, "because you're a bad woman."

Madonna held up a glass full of red wine and said: "But Dennis is also a bad man, we are a good match, aren't we?"

"Maybe." Louis winked, "He's right there, you can go by yourself."

"You're welcome."

Madonna walked over slowly, and her lifelike footsteps made Louise want to play "Material Girl" as the soundtrack.

Like the song "Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me" (Some boys kiss me and some boys hug me).

Is Rodman really indifferent to Madonna as he said?
Unfortunately, this looks more like the blind confidence of the second-year middle school youths in their own strength.

It took Madonna 10 seconds to get Rodman to smile, and Louie saw tension on his face for a long time.

Afterwards, Louie saw Madonna pointing to the window, wanting Rodman to chat there.

Rodman seemed to agree, but he wanted to speak to his coach.

"Coach, I was wrong, Madonna is my thing." Rodman hated himself for not dressing up better to attend the party, "Can I go over and talk to her like this, Coach?"

Seeing the begging look on his face, Louie couldn't tell him not to be with Madonna.

Just like Fujiwara Takumi and Natsuki, some men have to be severely hurt by a woman before they can make up their minds to go all the way north.

For Rodman, Madonna was a subversive concept.

"You don't need to change for her." Louis said, "Maybe she likes you like this."

"I think so too."

Rodman smiled like a fool.

"Just when she was talking to me, I even figured out where we will be buried together after we die."

"We don't need to go into the cemetery, our ashes should go to the sea together."

Rodman said seriously.

"I think she likes me."

After speaking, Rodman walked to the window.

Madonna waved to Louis from a distance, and the triumphant look on her brow conveyed the message of victory.

Louis could only toast her from a distance.

"If Dennis and Madonna were together, there would be more reporters around us."

Jack Kruger, president of MSG, found out what was going on here.

"Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Louis asked back.

"It may not be a good thing for you, because Madonna and Dennis will receive more attention than others. Under certain circumstances, Dennis will receive more attention than Madonna, because everyone is not surprised by what Madonna does, but she feels new to Dennis."

Kruger, like Louie, is not optimistic about the future of the Rodman-Madonna relationship.

"It may not be a problem in the short term, but over time, Madonna will subtly change Dennis, and you may have a tricky problem."

Since the day Louis came to New York and met Kruger, he has respected this Mr. President.

Krueger valued his ability and handed over the basketball operation department to him, and he could concentrate on developing MSG's surroundings and agreements with gardens and other professional teams, as well as various commercial performances during the holidays.

The one-year performance contract of Garden alone can bring MSG hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

Knowing people and making good use of them is Kruger's characteristic.

His predictions about the future of Rodman and Madonna, and the potential impact of the latter on the former, are correct.

"But it shouldn't be a bad thing for you." Louis could only think of something good.

Kruger said with a faint smile: "Of course, Madonna is the female version of Elvis (Elvis Presley). She and Dennis will bring us more exposure. For this reason, there will be many sponsors coming to our door."

"In that case, I wish you a new high in year-end performance next year." Louis wanted to toast Kruger.

He didn't expect Kruger to show embarrassment: "Well, for the head office, MSG's performance is only a small part of the income. They even think that the existence of the garden has affected the value-added of the Knicks."

"Did something happen?"

Louis thought it was strange to celebrate five consecutive championships at this moment, thinking that something really happened up there that he didn't know.

"You should have heard about the garden's 3 million renovation plan?"

"Ah."

"The approval is approved, but the scale of the garden has not been expanded. When the renovation is completed in the future, the comfort and advancement of the arena will be greatly improved. However, judging from the prospects of leasing and commercial performances, it will not generate more income without expanding the scale of the venue."

Louis asked seriously: "So, what does the above mean?"

"They plan to build a larger modern arena."

Louis smiled.

"Don't they know that neither the Dome nor the Dome is good for basketball?"

"Of course they know, they know better, that professional football and professional baseball make more money than professional basketball."

Louis looked at Kruger seriously, trying to see the change in his face.

"Can I take this to mean that the executives have moved on with the idea of ​​a franchise deal?"

It sounds unbelievable. Before Louie took over the Knicks, no matter how bad the team was, it was making money every year.

Since the Knicks returned to the playoffs in 1986, the club's annual net profit has ranked first in the league.

After winning the championship in 1988, the Knicks' net profit began to double that of the second-ranked Lakers. As of last year, as the most profitable club, excluding expenses and dividends to other teams, the net profit was 5000 million US dollars.

Among the many subsidiaries controlled by Paramount Communications, MSG is the most profitable.

Now they think they earn less?

"It hasn't been determined yet, but they do think it would be more profitable to run a successful NFL team in New York."

Kruger's message to Louie was no small matter.

When Louie came to New York, he imagined how he would leave one day in the future.

After crossing, he is sure that he wants to work in the professional basketball circle, but there are a few prerequisites.

The most important point is that his working environment must be stable, and the top management needs to trust him.

In the past eight years, both the highest level and Kruger have managed to let professional people do professional things without paying money.

Louis also knew that the Knicks would change sooner or later.

Now it seems that in addition to coaching, maybe he has to think about his future.

"I understand them."

Louis said insincerely.

"When I was in Boston, as a head coach, I already had a certain amount of power, but the existence of Reed Auerbach prevented me from building the team according to my own ideas. In order to have dictatorship, I came to New York."

"Most people will not be satisfied with the status quo. When the Knicks won the championship, the fans asked us to defend the title; after we defended the title, the world expected us to chase the Celtics for four consecutive championships. When we won five consecutive championships, they set their sights on the Celtics in the 60s. Everyone is so ambitious."

Kruger noticed a change in Louis' mood.

"Don't worry, we haven't reached that point yet," Kruger said. "If anything happens, I'll let you know in advance."

"Thank you, Jack."

"Thank you, we are old friends." Kruger changed his tone, "However, you should try your best to defend your title this year."

Louis said lightly: "This is my duty, and I will do my best."

The five-time championship party went on late into the night, and the flesh and blood entered the arena.

Kruger definitely put a lot of thought into it. There are women of all ages here, and the custody can be well served.

Even Louis was arranged clearly.

Kruger knew that Lorraine was filming outside recently, and Louis was very lonely, but he obviously underestimated the value of Louis' chastity.

Although AC Green has been traded for many years, his holy and noble soul is with Louis tonight.
