the rest, only noise

Chapter 929 It's time to end
At the end of January, the league announced the roster for the 1993 All-Star Weekend.

As in previous years, the Knicks, as a big All-Star player, still have four players selected this year.

They are Wilson, Ewing, Stockton and Kemp.

Miller was invited to the three-point contest.

The rookie coach Billy Donovan, who led the team to the first record in the East, accepted the league's invitation to become the head coach of the Eastern Stars.

As the coach of the road department, Donovan has achieved such results in his first year, which has attracted the attention of the outside world.

Some people also say that the Heat already have a good record, and the coach is just icing on the cake.

This is the doubt that Donovan has to face. As a young head coach, he can coach a strong team as soon as he comes up, which is inseparable from Louie's behind-the-scenes planning.

And the rest of the way, he needs to walk by himself.

Louie was happy for him and looked forward to seeing each other next time.

Heading into February, Louie's 600 wins were still big news in New York.

At the beginning of the month, the Knicks beat the Bullets, which was Louie's 597th victory.

The next three opponents are all strong enemies, one is the Jazz from the West, and the other is the current No. [-] Heat in the East.

The Knicks will play two consecutive home and away games with the Heat.

After a tough battle, Malone scored 42 points and the Knicks beat the Jazz at home.

Then ushered in the Heat ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

The last time they played against each other, the Knicks lost to the Heat.

Fans cheered Donovan as he returned to Madison Square Garden.

"Coach Lu, you can never imagine how much I miss the game atmosphere of MSG." Donovan said excitedly.

Louis really couldn't imagine it, because Miami is a city not inferior to New York.

Donovan must be lingering, but still miss MSG?

"I hope I can win two consecutive victories against you. After 600 victories, the media will stop talking about it in my ears every day." Louis said helplessly, "Do you know how annoying I am to them?"

Donovan couldn't see from Louis's face how much he was annoyed by the media, but he could see that he was in Versailles.

Since Louie made his debut in Boston, he has won 9 games in just 598 seasons.

9 seasons, 598 regular season wins.

What a glorious achievement this is?Many coaches may not have 10 wins in 500 seasons.

"It's too easy a victory, I'm afraid it's not worth commemorating." Donovan laughed, "We will play with intensity."

Looking at the Heat's lineup, you will know why they are number one in the Eastern Conference.

The starters are Joe Dumars, Petrovic, Reggie Lewis, Hank Gaithers, Rick Mahon.

Off the court sat Antonio/Dale Davis, Randy Brown, Malik Healy, Vernon Maxwell, PJ Brown.

They have at least 11 guys who can play.

Influenced by Louie, Donovan likes to play long spins, and the Heat's wealthy hand is just right for him to play.

He specially designed a pocket formation with two bottoms and three highs for the Heat, which magnified the characteristics of Hanks and Lewis' wide range of activities and excellent defense capabilities.

Petrovic, as the outside core and ace of the Heat, is currently averaging 24 points per game.

It's not his ultimate scoring ability.

Like Wilson and Jordan, he was limited in his scoring performance because of the strength of their respective teams.

In order to prevent the tragedy of Petrovic from repeating itself, Louis ordered Lewis Shafier to invite a retired special forces bodyguard to return home with Petrovic during the offseason.

In and out of peers.

Go out to eat, have fun, participate in activities, national team games, no matter what you do, the bodyguards must go together.

Everything the bodyguards could do, Petrovich was not allowed to do.

In terms of the team, Shafier has enough reasons to hire a bodyguard for Petrovic.

The situation in the former Yugoslavia is tense and violent conflicts are frequent. As the core player of the team, Petrovic wants to return to China, and the team naturally wants to ensure his safety, so sending one or two bodyguards is not too much, right?

Anyway, hiring bodyguards didn't cost Petrovich's money, so it was too late for him to be grateful, let alone object.

It was a tough game that went into overtime.

Petrovic is a maniac star.

If he is in a normal state, he is an average All-Star player. Once he has a convulsion, even a super giant of Jordan Wilson's level, if he cannot adjust his state, he will blow him up in minutes.

Petrovic's convulsions may be a dozen or so games a season.

The Knicks were unlucky enough to have another one.

That's right, Petrovic was also convulsed last time he played with the Heat.

Wilson is like Petrovic's exclusive stimulant. Seeing him, basketball Mozart is excited, his hands feel hot, and his competitive state is like Curry who is madly shooting three-pointers and keeps shaking his head.

Mohamed Rauf's two 30-pointers in the final [-] seconds of overtime put the game in suspense.

And Hank Geisers' key shot allowed the Heat to seal the victory.

If the Knicks could use the reason that they didn't take the Heat seriously in the last match, then this time, they were defeated when they took it seriously.

"Thank you guys for letting us win this game."

Louie found that Donovan was getting worse and worse.

"How many days will it be before our next fight?"

Louis asked with a smile.

"Two days later."

"Get your people ready." Louie's smiling face suddenly showed murderous intent, "If you don't prepare well, I'm afraid you will lose too badly."

Donovan believed that Louis did not say this to scare him.

"We'll be ready."

Then there was the matter of whether Wilson should shave his head.

Wilson didn't want to shave himself, but if Louie wanted him to take the bet, he'd do it.

Louis thought about it and decided not to let him shave his head.

One of the most heinous things that jerks Jordan and Kobe did was make people think they were handsome with bald heads.

The truth is cruel, bald and handsome
Originally, Wilson looked like a star when he took good care of it. That face was placed in a league full of crooked melons and jujubes.

Losing to the Heat has some details that need to be summed up, but Louie is not angry.

The Heat are indeed strong, and they are well-deserved first in the East, but the Knicks now are like the late Celtics dynasty in the last decade.

Even if the division ranking is not the first, they will not worry about their own playoffs.

Players gradually learn not to play the real game in the regular season, and will lose some focus games that others care about.

They play hard, but they still don't use their full strength.

The Heat reminded Louis of the Knicks in the 1986-87 season. In that season, they also double-killed the Celtics in the regular season, and then were taught by the Celtics in the second half of the schedule. In the playoffs, they were defeated 4-2.

A classic battle like the "Day of Mourning Epic" was also played.

Now, the positions are reversed.

The Knicks were sitting where the Celtics were back then, and the Heat were the Knicks at the time. However, that Knicks team was built by Louis with all his strength and became stronger every year. Although the Heat are the "trumpet" remotely controlled by Louis, the purpose of this trumpet is to have fun for themselves and maintain the strategic alliance with Lewis Shafier.

So the Heat's reinforcement depends entirely on how many obstacles Louie wants to create for himself on the way out of the East.

The next day, Louie worked normally.

Sean Kemp's agent Tony Dutt came to the Blue Palace to start the 33rd contract renewal negotiation.

This time around, however, he's not looking to agree with Baylor.

He came directly to Louis' office, wanting to negotiate a result.

"Coach Lu, if there is no result today, let's save the suspense until summer!"

There was determination on Dutt's face, and both his and Kemp's patience had been exhausted.

Louis smiled, why isn't he waiting for this day?

Dutt, a heartless idiot, finally came to him.

Louis put down the information in his hand, got up and asked politely, "Do you want something to drink?"

"I would be very grateful if I could have a bloody margarita." Dutt said insatiably.

Louie laughed.

"Tony, I only have self-service vending machines here. If you can get a bloody margarita in it, I will cover your future drinks."

Louie is also a joker.

As usual, he would use Coke to "warm up" his state.

Du Te was joking, but he also looked at Louis seriously.

Louie has always had a strong reputation in the professional basketball circle, but he looks too young, and he doesn't look like the kind of person who makes a decision and doesn't look back.

Is this the young man who directly gave Patrick Ewing 1985 million for 10 years in 3000?
How old was he?

25?

Or 26?
