The Rest, Only Noise

"It's not the best time," Pat Riley said with enthusiasm, "but I can announce that the golden age of professional basketball in Portland has come, and we will become the Celtics after the Celtics. The Knicks after the Knicks."

Obviously, the big score of the series was only a 2-2 draw, but Riley looked like he was about to win.

The New York press will of course be upset, but they have more important things to do now.

The Knicks clearly exudes an abnormal atmosphere.

Stockton has publicly complained about playing time, Miller's dissatisfaction with Wilson, and a string of previous incidents.

Louie was disappointed by Stockton, who, on the surface, complained about playing time, but actually distrusted him.

Since he entered New York, the team can basically do orders and bans.

It's not that Stockton has been off the bench from time to time or at crucial moments since the beginning of these two seasons.

But in the past, without a starter, or being substituted at a crucial moment, Stockton wouldn't have reacted otherwise because he thought that was reasonable. Now, he thinks it's unreasonable, why? Because in his eyes, Louis is not the Louis of the past.

As the team's earliest player whose future was determined by Louis, he has been the team's anchor for many years.

Now, it's also him who brought irreparable negative effects to the team at a critical moment in the finals.

"I don't know if some of you understand that things in the locker room should stay in the locker room."

Louis was furious.

"Do you think that if you tell the media, things will change?"

"John, tell me, why are you depressed?"

Louie stopped beating around the bush and pointed the finger at Stockton.

Stockton, like all rebellious teenagers, had reasons to be rebellious, but at this moment, facing Louis' questioning, under the gaze of those angry eyes, he felt guilty.

If he can't respond to Louie, he's wrong.

Stockton didn't think he was wrong.

"I've been the centerpiece of the team since 1984," Stockton said, rightfully. "I've led the league in assists five times over the past six years, and I've never been the team's problem. Playing for the limelight, not taking shots, not complaining about salary...I was never the team's problem."

He repeated it.

Speaking of this, Stockton's emotion suppressed by Louis reappeared.

That is unwilling, he doesn't know why he was dropped by Luiz in a pinch, why Mohamed Raouf would replace him as the starter one after another.

All agreed with Stockton that he was never the team's problem.

"However, you became the team's problem today."

Louis said angrily: "You want to put pressure on me through this matter, and then change the situation, am I right?"

When Louis' voice fell, the locker room was dull for more than ten seconds.

Stockton didn't answer, or rather, he didn't dare to answer.

Everyone knows this is the calm before the storm.

"I tell you, no way! I never thought I had any problems with your use, if I needed you to pass the ball I'd put you in, if I'm **** up you can't put that **** The ball goes in and you take it for granted! You have many ways to deal with this, but you chose the stupidest and most unforgivable one, why? Why do you **** named John always let me down !"

Louie poured all his anger on Stockton's head.

He seemed to have forgotten about Miller.

But the shaking he caused in those few minutes was strong enough.

Stockton didn't dare to answer, and Louie's voice filled the locker room,

In Tomjanovich's impression, Louis has not been so angry for a long time.

Also, a lot of Louie's anger in the past was faked.

This time, his anger was real.

Louie probably took all the anger he'd built up on Stockton for a while, and by the time he calmed down, the locker room was so quiet that Kemp's breathing could be heard.

"I repeat." Louie knew that he had to control his emotions, "First, before the end of the season, I don't want any discordant voices from within us; second, if there is any problem, raise it on the spot; third..."

Louis softened his tone.

"Go back and get some sleep, we have an away game to play."

After all, Louis walked out of the locker room.

About half a minute later, Miller chased after him.

"Is something wrong, Reggie?"

At this time, Louis couldn't see that he had just made a big fire.

Miller said: "Coach, I apologize to you, I shouldn't have said unnecessary things to the media."

Louis did not expect that he had deliberately not bothered Miller, so why could this guy bring it up by himself?

Louis did not scold Miller, not because Miller couldn't scold him, but because the problems Miller raised were real. But it's part of the whole plan, so just ignore it.

"Your extra words won't affect me, and the person who needs your apology is not me, but benj." Louis said lightly.

Unexpectedly, Miller said confidently: "No, I don't need to apologize to him, he owes us an apology."

Miller's words made Louis suspicious: "Oh?"

"I apologize to you because my words did cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for the team. I shouldn't have stabbed the matter in front of reporters. I should have said it directly in the locker room. Like you said, there are The question is."

"Benj has a problem, since the finals, his performance is beyond my comprehension, he's like a different person, selfish and selfish, doesn't trust his teammates, is alone most of the time, Patrick is like a **** eye Blind, and you turned a blind eye to his abnormal behavior, I want to know what the **** is going on."

For a long time, Miller's presence on the Knicks was limited.

This is also why many people think that he is not as good as Dale Ellis. There is a group of loyal Ellis fans in New York City who are carrying the banner of the Knicks against Miller, and the leading figure is the director Spike Lee.

Because Ellis almost single-handedly saved the Knicks from being pushed to the brink by the Celtics several times in 1988.

And Miller was hidden beside Ewing and Wilson at the peak.

He is strong, but how strong?

Can he be as strong as Wilson and Ewing?

However, Wilson and Ewing are qualified leaders on and off the court. Miller's strong mental strength and outstanding leadership are difficult to play a role in the team.

It wasn't until this time that Louie found out that Miller was a Hall of Fame Outspoken player.

With so many people up and down the team, he was the only one who pointed out Wilson's problems from the start.

In the case of Wilson's repeated teaching, Miller's error correction methods have also become extreme.

This time he did something that seemed very wrong to him, so he wanted to apologize to Louis.

Apologizing doesn't mean his intentions were wrong.

He was wrong, but the idea was right.

Louie wanted to tell Miller the truth, but right now, he couldn't say anything.

Because Miller may not be able to understand, and these things are like blank space in a movie. It's not beautiful to break through. Louis needs to let players spontaneously understand the most essential and pure things in competitive sports. What he has to do now is to wait for the opportunity, try his best to delay the arrival of that moment, and then lead them to touch "that thing" at the most appropriate time.

"Reggie, you've known benj for so many years, don't you know him yet?" Louis asked back.

Miller shook his head and said, "I really don't understand him!"

"how to say?"

"In the beginning~www.novelmt.com~ he was just like now, self-possessing and domineering, a very aggressive player, I thought that was his style of play, I accepted it. But after coming to New York, I found that He is not what I thought, he can defend with all his strength, he can pass the ball selflessly, he can not care about his stats and the number of shots, and he can put down the dignity of a star to set up a stage for a role player like me..." Miller misses the perfect Mr. Benjamin, "I really think this **** is a qualified core player, but now he has changed back, I don't know what happened, I don't know, I don't understand him, I just want him back! "

Louis and Miller looked at each other.

He said slowly: "I, like you, hope that Benj will come back, and I will persuade him, but I hope you have something to say to him."

"Yes, if he continues like this, I will definitely tell him 'good'!" Miller said with a fierce look.
