Chapter 912 Mohammad Abdul-Rauf

Chapter 913 Muhammad Abdul-Rauf

On December 1992, 12, Knicks guard Chris Jackson announced that in order to stay true to his beliefs, he would drop the name "Chris Jackson" and change it to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf.

This move is not unusual to the outside world. Rauf was a firm Mlm before he changed his name. Sooner or later, he will have the Mlm name like other people who believe in it in NBA history.

The changes caused by his approach in the Knicks just made everyone feel awkward.

It will take them a while to get used to CJ being Muhammad.

"It's not a big deal, CJ, uh, no, Muhammad." Tomjanovich felt that the name was inexplicably drooling, "Forget it, I'll call him MAR."

Louis asked with a smile, "When Kareem changed his name, what was your reaction?"

"It's not surprising," Tomjanovich explained. "You know, Kareem is that kind of person. In order to protest the U.S. government, he even refused to be called up for the Olympic selection team. You have to know that players of that generation may only have one chance to play for their country in their lifetime."

The strange thing is that it has only been a few years since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired, but Louis and the others seem to be talking about a character decades ago.

This is the benefit of a long career.

"So, we don't have to bah to CJ! We don't have to make a fuss about the name change of Muhammad. MAR?"

"Probably not."

The training that day was normal and normal, and it was not normal if it was not normal.

Ewing loves competition, as usual, but his rivalry is more of a vindictive one.He started targeting Rauf for speaking the truth in front of everyone.

Those words stung Ewing, so he teamed up with Reggie Williams and Stockton against him in a team matchup.

Rauf, who has changed his name, is more open than in the past.

He hopes that changing his name will have a positive and positive effect on himself, so he wants to perform better.

Ewing's approach is exactly what he wants, and the high-intensity team competition can lay the foundation for him to perform well in official games.

He made 14 of 8 shots in today's matchup, scoring 20 points and 4 rebounds.

He played better than Stockton.

In terms of offensive ability, Stockton has been unable to compare with him.

But Stockton's strength has never been his ability to attack independently. What Louis appreciates is his organizational ability, restrictions on floor guards, and insidious defense.

Bird retired, Ainge was marginalized in the Knicks, and Stockton was the league's number one dirty ratio.

It's just that, with Kevin Johnson, Gary Payton, Tim Hardaway, Mookie Blaylock and other flashy guards entering the league, his defense is no longer so useful.

Under normal circumstances, as long as they open up the space, this group of people can easily handle Stockton's defense.

Stockton is limited by his physical fitness, and he can only play to his fullest when facing a floor guard.

But now there are fewer and fewer floor guards.

Rauf's biggest advantage is his advanced style of play. In the 90s, he played with the ball in the 21s, which is really special.However, as long as the Knicks are still defensive-oriented, Stockton is the starter.

Rauf can provide offensive firepower for the second unit, but he can't handle the offense of the first unit and bring an above-average defense like Stockton.

This night, the Knicks ushered in the Los Angeles Lakers.

After four quarters of hard work, the Knicks were tipped by David Robinson for a lore and suffered their second defeat of the new season.

"I regard any game as 'salvation'." David Robinson said, "I long to redeem those lost souls."

There are many reasons why Louis doesn't like Robinson, and his liking for "preaching" is definitely an important point.

This guy has mastered a kind of annoying words skillfully.

Louie also met David Angell, the writer and producer of "A Happy Family," on the set of the game.

Louie wants to know how Lorraine did in the audition, so he invites him to find a place for a drink after the game.

"Coach Lu, can you bring Benj along?"

Through the eagerness in Angel's eyes, Louis could be sure that he was a Wilson fan.

"He'll come if you want him to," Louie laughed.

Angel said pleasantly: "Our whole family is his fans. It would be great if we could sit down and have a chat with him."

"No problem, David, I'll arrange it."

Even though he lost the game, Louis was not sad at all.

He found that he was a bit dereliction of duty, but when facing the reporter, he still had to make an unhappy expression: "This kind of loss is unacceptable. We have a great inside advantage. How can David Robinson grab the offensive rebound so easily and complete the layup? I think some people need to reflect on themselves."

Louie deliberately waited for Wilson outside the locker room.

When he came back from the interview, he saw Louis standing at the door and asked, "Coach, who are you waiting for?"

"Wait for you."

Usually, if nothing happened, Louis would not wait for him on purpose.

What happened?Wilson first thought that it was the reason for their loss tonight-Ewing was too defensive outside, Robinson grabbed the offensive rebound and made a successful tip-up. At that time, Wilson had already stuck Pippen's position.

"I had slots," Wilson said.

"what?"

"I stuck Scottie Pippen," Wilson said. "It's not my fault that David Robinson got the offensive rebound."

"I'm not talking about you."

"No, I didn't come here for this at all." Louis looked at Wilson's attire for the press conference, looking very formal.

There is no such thing as a dress code. Players can wear whatever they want to meet reporters.

But the marketing and publicity of the stars are already moving closer to the entertainment circle.

Jordan never appeared in front of reporters wearing non-mainstream clothes, and neither did Wilson.

As Converse's current number one star, Wilson's outfits outside are planned by them.

"Follow me to meet someone later."

"See who?"

After Louie briefly introduced David Angus' identity and background, and talked about the importance of this person to Lorraine's audition for "Family", Wilson realized.

"Don't worry, coach, I will definitely become David Angle's best friend, and let Mrs. Lu get the role."

In the Chinese context, Wilson should call Lorraine "sister-in-law".

Unfortunately, the word does not exist in English.

Mrs. Lu sounds like she has more births than sister-in-law.

In private, Louie was like Wilson's older brother, and the closeness of the two of them need not be overstated.

For this kind of thing, Wilson is obliged to go back to the locker room and dress up seriously before going to the appointment with Louis.

In the locker room, Ewing was restless.

After Robinson tipped the lore, he had already seen through the big screen on the scene that he made a wrong choice that caused the opponent to catch the offensive rebound and make a tip.

The dignified leader actually became the main culprit of the team's loss.

He wants to be a contemporary Russell. How could Chamberlain's behavior of cheating the team appear on him at a critical moment?
"Go back and have a good rest. The season is very long. We cannot be affected by the outcome of a game."

Louie didn't seem to want to criticize Ewing by name. He quickly finished his speech after the game, nodded to Wilson, and the two left together.

"Coach, where are you going?" Rodman asked gossipingly.

Louis asked kindly: "Do I need your consent for what I want to do?"

Rodman sensed the "murderous intent" in Louie's kind tone, shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, no, I just care about you."

"Mind yourself, if I don't see you on the training ground tomorrow, you know the consequences."

After Louie and Wilson left, Rodman turned around and asked everyone, "Let's go to the nightclub tonight?"

"Where's your Madonna?" Miller asked.

"Don't say it as if I can only have her in my life!" Rodman said, "If you lose the game, you should vent it, let's go together!"

Miller said: "I have no objection, but Patrick has more experience in this kind of thing, right?"

Ewing snorted: "I'm not in the mood to have fun now."

"Normally, if it was because of my mistake that the opponent grabbed a key rebound and hit the game-winning shot, I would have knelt in front of Coach Lu and begged his forgiveness." Rodman said heartily.

"Fart, I can't make a mistake in my choice at the time. If I didn't go out to defend, Jeff (Hornacek) would have a lore chance!"

Stevens joked: "If you explain this to Coach Lu tomorrow, I will absolutely praise you."

Raouf, never able to get used to the derogatory locker room chatter, was about to get up and leave.

Reggie Williams asked: "Muhammad, where were you when the flag was raised tonight?"

"Tie your shoes in the locker room." After saying that, Rauf walked out of the room.

"Who do you hate more, David Robinson or that freak?" Ewing asked a question.

"It's obviously David," Miller said. "At least CJ Muhammad, he won't affect us."

Hearing this, Stockton laughed out loud.

"Not always."
