the rest, only noise

Chapter 962

You can be their friend, but only if you are their coach.

Years later, Louis would sum up his philosophy of manipulating the mind in this way.

John Stockton, as the first player appointed by Louie after he came to New York, has worked with him the longest and is the most trusted. After he won five championships under him and became the greatest point guard in history, his relationship with him deteriorated because of some things.

New York is Vanity Fair.

What is fame and fortune?Rodman's classmate summed it up well: fame and fortune are watches.

The characteristic of Biaozi is to turn his face and be ruthless, which is why Stockton and Louis fell out.

Now, Stockton has obviously affected his authority, and he must suppress the opponent's arrogance, just like he suppressed Isiah Thomas in Boston.

Stockton's eyes lit up when he heard Louie's "I don't care" remark.

"I won't seek your understanding on this matter. Remember, I have a clear conscience. If you insist on hating me for this matter, I don't care. I just want to remind you that I am still your coach. If you don't respect me, get the fuck out of me, understand?"

The ten-year friendship between Stockton and Louis was wiped out.

He responded coldly: "Understood."

"Go away." Louis put his legs up on the desk.

At that moment, Louis felt much younger, as if he had returned to the day when he took over the coach from Bill Fitch 10 years ago.

He was also a high-spirited and passionate man.

The appearance of fame and fortune not only changed the inside of the Knicks, but also smoothed the sharp corners of Louis.

To this day, Louis can be sure that conservative coaching methods have been unable to bring the team back on track.

Although the Knicks' achievements are surprising enough, today's five consecutive championships can almost be regarded as the glory of no one to come.

However, if you stop here, you will inevitably be unwilling.

Louie didn't want to look back on this story years later and realize that he didn't do his best.

Maybe it was too late now, but somehow he pulled himself together.

The aftermath of Mohammad Rauf's launch disaster is still unfolding.

The league was the first to react.

Rauf was not suspended, but was fined $10000 for harming the league's image.

He was not suspended because there has never been a player swearing in a press conference in history.

Even someone like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who treats journalists as viruses can at most put on a bad face and answer questions impatiently. Apart from that, there are no other unacceptable actions.

Moreover, Rauf's performance was not purely out of control. The Knicks explained to the outside world that he was "ill."

It is a fact that Rauf has Tourette's syndrome, and it is also a fact that he fell ill that day. However, the reporter and everyone who knows him know that the swear words he uttered are definitely from his heart.

Because when patients with Tourette's syndrome fell ill involuntarily, their speech pattern was a normal sentence with a foul word, and Rauf scolded him from the onset to the public relations call to stop that day.

It can only be said that Tourette's syndrome played a positive role in Rauf for the first time.

For Rauf, if he doesn't scold, it's really hard for him to swallow that breath.

It was also Rauf's strange disease that allowed Louis to find a breakthrough.

The outside world wants to bring Rauf's unpatriotic rhythm, which will affect the entire Knicks team. They will bring the rhythm of Rauf's illness, and at the same time rely on Tourette's syndrome for all of Rauf's incomprehensible behaviors.

The media in New York was mobilized.

Although Rauf's words and deeds have dissatisfied many people, if this turmoil is not handled properly, it is likely to affect the Knicks' preparations.

Benjamin Wilson's team chose to announce at this time: "Benj officially serves as Tourette's syndrome ambassador from today."

"I can't imagine how much pain this disease has brought to you (referring to the patients), but I have seen a lot of sad things in MAR. I hope everyone will pay more attention to them. They are as flesh and blood as us. Those uncontrollable trembling and dirty words are the most beautiful things in the world in my eyes."

Of course, Wilson's image is inevitably raised several levels.

Ewing's team could only watch.

This is something Ewing will never be able to do.

Even if he wanted to be an ambassador for some strange disease, no one could empathize.

Just like the feature of being dumb, it is called being cute in beautiful and handsome men, but in other groups of people, it is **.

The attacks on Rauf and the Knicks did not stop, but the Knicks' response was a textbook one, successfully diverting the public's attention.

Finally, the bad influence of a public relations accident was minimized.

Then, they can brace themselves and settle accounts with the Hornets that drove them this far.

Tonight, when Louie met with Hornets coach Alan Bristow, he specifically asked: "My next words may be a bit presumptuous, but I am particularly curious, what is your team's record for losing points in a single game?"

Bristol is a genius who has been in professional basketball for decades, and Louis asked this question not out of curiosity about the history of the Hornets.

"Little Lu, what do you mean?"

"Little Lu?" Louis said disgustedly, "Coach Bristol, do I know you very well, and you call me that? Besides, I'm not 'little' to you at all. You, a mere second-year rookie coach, dare to call me 'Little Lu'?"

Louis said wildly: "For you, I am a big muscle bully stronger than Arnold Schwarzenegger, show me some respect!"

Bristol's face changed drastically: "What did you say?"

"It seems that no one really taught you how to spell the word respect." Louis smiled coldly, "It's okay, I will teach you how to spell the word."

The two sides broke up unhappy, and the Knicks' starting game tonight is quite mysterious.

Louis made Stockton a substitute, which seemed to be retaliation for the latter's recent violations, but in fact, making him a substitute and starting Rauf was just to make the team's offense more dynamic. "

"Tonight, I just want to see us keep scoring goals. If we can win by 50 points, we will never win by 49 points. If anyone is merciful, he won't have to go away with us the day after tomorrow!"

Except for Stockton, the Knicks' other four starters were unchanged.

The Hornets on the opposite side are not weaker than the Knicks in terms of the book strength of the starting lineup.

The inside core has Larry Johnson;
The outside cores include Dale Ellis and Glenn Rice, and Rex Chapman is sitting off the court;

The strength of the backcourt is not weak. Porter and Bruce Edwards, the former Blazers backcourt duo, both played well last season.

Looking at it this way, the Hornets seem to have abundant human resources.

But it turned out to be wrong again.

When Porter meets Knicks, he comes with a weakened BUFF;

Rice can only fight Wilson when he feels overwhelmed;
In his rookie season, Miller overwhelmed Ellis in the starting lineup not because of his strength, but now, as an off-ball shooter, Miller has indeed surpassed Ellis;

Kemp just beat Big Mom in the last game;

Ewing and Song Tao have never been a fair matchup. Game1 can play brilliantly because the gorilla is too kind-hearted and nostalgic for the past.It was different tonight. The Hornets played tricks if they couldn't play on the court, trying to influence the Knicks' mentality by public opinion.

Fortunately, the Knicks responded properly and did not let the big rhythm off the court affect them.

Now that he has regained his strength, it is impossible for Ewing to hold back Song Tao.

Beating the center of the Hornets can no longer satisfy him, he wants to smash the inside of the Hornets.

Louis said that he was not qualified as a leader, and he had to prove that he was a qualified leader.

In the opening game, Ewing accidentally lost to Song Tao with a jump ball.

Although the teammates were surprised, they quickly entered the rhythm of defense.

Porter held the ball outside Rauf's defense and went straight to the basket, but Kemp and Ewing were waiting for him in the penalty area.

Kemp also deliberately chose to empty some areas, making Porter think it was safe there.

When he broke into the penalty area, Kemp's big hat made him understand that "here is a chicken".

If the attack is not hit, it is small, but if the counterattack cannot be stopped, it is big.

As soon as Ball was blocked by Kemp, the Knicks counterattacked.

The one pushing the fast break is Wilson.

He is located in the middle, and Stockton usually stands on this line to instigate a wonderful defensive counterattack.

Stockton will not start today. In addition to doing a good job in offense and defense, Wilson has to be the organizer in the starting lineup to drive the team.

Wilson does not have Stockton's overall view of the overall situation, but in the local area, his ability to instigate is extraordinary.

Miller followed the fast break, and Wilson fed the ball on the spot.

After Miller chased and hit a three-pointer, he faced the Hornets coach and asked, "That big-tongued coach, you can bring this sentence to the reporter. From the beginning of this game to the end of the series, we will refresh your single-game loss record every game!"
