The Rest, Only Noise

On September 14, Rudy Tomjanovich officially became the Knicks' acting coach.

Zhao Yuanzheng gave up his teaching assistant job to focus on the scouting department and the assistant to the president.

Except for Zhao Yuanzheng, Louis's team was basically inherited by Rudy.

Doug Mo is still in charge of the Knicks offense and Tom Thibodeau is in charge of the defense.

Rudy also promoted interior coach Quin Snyder to assistant coach.

On the opening day of training camp, everyone in the coaching staff was nervous.

The reason for the tension is the uncertainty of the player's state and size.

Fortunately, aside from McHale, no one had noticeably changed in size.

McHale made a high-profile announcement before the start of the season that the 1993-94 season would be his last, and as he got older and the younger players on the team rose, his presence became more and more symbolic rather than practical.

With the arrival of Mahon and the signing of Tony Kukoc, McHale is likely to buy a house in the DNP position.

Come to think of it, that's not bad either.

He doesn't have to bear any pressure from the competition, he can still rely on the old and sell the old on the training ground, paddle at will, and finally have the opportunity to retire with seven championship rings.

Is there anything happier than this?

Rodman's new hairstyle sparked widespread discussion.

He's got a ball head, but his hair is golden—well, so it looks like he's got a freshly-baked scallop on his head.

Three rookies, Sam Cassell, Alan Houston and Kukoc shivered.

Because this team doesn't look like a good guy.

Mahon got into the role quickly, and he knew what the team wanted him to do.

He came out announcing that no matter how good John Selley was before, he was going to be better than him because he just wanted to win his own ring.

And Louisian sat in the office and listened to Zhao Yuanzheng's report.

"Hakim and Drexler chose to renew their contracts with the Clippers, and they will remain the top teams in the Western Conference for the next few years."

"Robert Parish moved to Denver, and this signing will not have a substantial impact on the league structure."

"James Worthy was traded to Philadelphia on a sign-and-trade."

"Detroit is planning to rebuild?"

"Yes, they've turned on tank mode."

"Jose Hawkins and Eddie Johnson join Phoenix."

"Indiana trades Horace Grant from Dallas for German Schramf."

...

Zhao Yuanzheng reported that the changes in the offseason this year were consistent with Louis' perception.

There are a lot of small moves, but there are basically no large-scale transactions, and no new championship-level teams have been generated. Not surprisingly, the biggest opponent of the Knicks for the seventh consecutive championship is the Portland Trail Blazers.

"How is Rudy now?"

Louie wanted to go downstairs to have a look, but today is Rudy's first day in office. Whether the rookie coach can fully control the team depends on the first few days.

Not only the coach wants to stand up, but the players are also watching the coach. They want to know if this person is trustworthy or not, and whether they should work for him.

"He looks like he is 15 years younger." Zhao Yuanzheng said.

Well, 15 years younger... isn't that the age when Kermit Washington punched him in the head?

Tomjanovich took over the team sooner than Luiz expected.

It's not that the old players changed their hearts quickly, but Rudy was half a Louie standing on the training ground.

For more than ten years, Louis and Rudy have become the industry's best-known partners.

On the training ground, Rudy is the head coach of everyone, but Louis does not have a strong sense of presence.

Whether Rudy has actually taken over, though, will have to wait until the season begins.

When Louis was a coach, he rarely went downstairs, and now he hardly ever goes downstairs.

As long as the training is not over, he stays in the office.

Because even just walking downstairs gives the impression that Rudy is not a coach.

Although the person is in the office, Louis can also receive the information downstairs at any time.

His focus is on Ewing and Wilson's current relationship, as well as the integration of several newcomers.

In the finals last year, Wilson and Ewing seemed to open up, but Louie had been haunted by it for years and felt it wouldn't end like this.

Judging from Zhao Yuanzheng's report, Ewing has completely dominated the team.

In the past, Ewing was strict off the court, while Wilson was strict on the court.

In this way, leadership is distributed.

Ewing is the leader off the court, Wilson is the leader on the court.

Zhao Yuanzheng said that Ewing has shown a sense of responsibility in many things this year.

He cared about his teammates, was more willing to communicate, and became more patient with rookies.

Most importantly, there was no conflict or quarrel with Wilson, and the two treated each other with respect.

"It seems that Benj has fully endorsed Patrick."

From the results, it is.

Zhao Yuanzheng asked, "Is this bad?"

"This is the best news for Rudy."

But does Wilson look like a second-in-command?

Will he be Ewing's Pippen? Obviously, he has understood that a team can only have one boss, no matter how much he tolerates it, as long as he wants to do a little boss thing, he will conflict with Ewing.

There is no dual law in the world, and the past six years have proven this.

Now that Ewing dominates the team, he's a great leader, and Wilson follows his lead and recognizes the Knicks as his team.

That means Rudy won't have the same problems Louie has in the new season.

The Knicks have been reborn.

But, Louie thought, Benj might not be staying in New York when his contract expires next summer.

As for those newcomers, Ma Hong is a veteran who has played professional games for more than ten years and knows what to do.

He just needs to take a moment to integrate into the murder rush.

Cassell, Houston and Kukoc have their own problems.

Cassell's character is too detached, and the way of playing is also casual. Although the style of play meets the requirements, it is not suitable for the Knicks as a whole.

Houston needs to get used to the NBA's 3-point line, and his proud mid-range jumper is difficult to use in New York because he doesn't have as much of the ball.

In addition to language problems, Kukoc had to find the right position.

He has a height of 210 cm, but has a skillful ability to handle the ball and can play the 3 and 4 at the same time. And these two positions are the Knicks' most roll-out positions. How can he find his role in the pile of roll kings? This is not only a test for him, but also a test for the coaching staff.

On October 20, the Knicks went to Las Vegas to play a preseason game.

Rudy continued the coaching style of Louis, with 13 players in rotation, winning all five games.

This year's preseason God of War is Sean Kemp.

In these five games, Kemp averaged 26 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in 24 minutes per game.

"Sports Illustrated" writer Jack McCollum believes that it was the intensity of the preseason that made Kemp's performance like a **** of war.

But he also admitted that Kemp's strength has improved in all aspects.

His skills have become more delicate, and he has developed a high-position left-handed offense. In addition to the inexplicable turning layup in the paint area, he also controls the emergency stop half and throws, which is like a physical fitness enhancement. Danny Manning.

Kemp was asked if he had the confidence to make the All-NBA First Team this season.

Kemp responded, "Why not? That's my goal."

Then he was asked what was the difference between playing under Tomjanovich and Louie.

"Rudy is Coach Lu and Coach Lu is Rudy, so it's no different."

Then, Rodman, who had decided to change his mind after claiming to let Louie return, was arrested by the police station for beating up fans who had insulted him on the sidelines, and was suspended by the league for 4 games.

Afterwards, Rodman said he had no regrets, because it was a Blazers fan.

"He can insult me, but not my team," Rodman said.

Either way, Rodman is doomed to miss the Nov. 5 opener.

In the first game of the new season, the Knicks will host the Boston Celtics and hold a ring presentation ceremony and championship flag raising ceremony.

The Celtics' lineup in the new season is slightly weaker.

Although they signed Sampson for a two-year extension (with player options) in the summer, the retirements of Bird and Laimbeer have made the team a substantial one-man team.

Just like Akagi Gangxian's first and second year of high school in Xiangbei.

In the entire Celtics lineup, except for Sampson, only Billy Owens is a little famous.

Worst of all, they couldn't pick good players in the draft, and they flopped in free agency.

They originally wanted to win Moses Malone in the free market, and even though the Prophet had entered the twilight of his career, Dave Gavitt offered him a three-year, $14 million above market price.

As a result, Malone would rather have New Jersey's three-year, $10 million than Boston's three-year, $14 million.

From this you can see how disadvantageous the Celtics are.

They don't have the money to spend, and the Knicks have their first-round picks in '94 and '96 (top-20 protected).

While the title race is hopeless, Mr. One can at least get them to the playoffs, as long as he stays healthy.

Louie attended the game.

Received his seventh championship ring from Stern, and watched the ninth championship flag in Knicks history rise to the ceiling.

Fans are excited.

But Louis doesn't have that much feeling, and these superficial forms are just an afterthought to them.

The real excitement has long passed.

Before the game, Ewing called up his teammates, "We're going to win another ring!"

"Is one enough?" Camp asked with a smile.

Ewing's face was serious: "Don't be so arrogant, Sean."

"Yes, our goal now is to win another ring, so let's crush the Bostonians first!" Miller said arrogantly, "Fuck them!"

Watching the 33-year-old Sampson single-handedly prop up the team is painful.

If you're a fan of him, you want him to run away from this team right away, right away.

This summer, he has a chance to leave.

But after months of negotiations, he opted to sign a short-term deal.

It was like giving myself and the Celtics another chance.

If it doesn't work, just leave.

It turns out that it really doesn't work.

Today's Sampson has been unable to exert force on both ends of offense and defense at the same time, he can only selectively output.

But the Knicks simply didn't give the Celtics a chance to breathe.

Kemp blew up lottery pick Doug Smith, who joined Owens with Owens at the 4.

Owens is a C-*** who has the potential to go bankrupt and has the strength but cannot reach the level of hype before entering the league, so Smith is a standard parallel importer.

He has talent, he has potential, but he just can't play it.

The Celtics have determined that this man's potential will forever remain on paper. But so what? They still have to get Bird and Laimbeer on the starting roster in their first season when they retire and wait for a miracle to see if this guy makes a big turn.

As a result, he let Kemp score 42 points and 8 rebounds on his head.

In the end, 127 to 89, the Knicks rout the Celtics with a huge advantage of 38 points.

Sampson played 39 minutes and scored 29 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The performance was comprehensive, but it was useless.

In the words of his teammate, NBC's guest commentator Laimbeer: "From the scene, Boston has no chance from beginning to end, unless Ralph can multiply his stats by two, or even play a hundred more games, The Knicks will win."

Ewing can't remember the first time he's played against Sampson.

The opponent won and lost the same statistic as before.

Although Ewing also scored 19 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, as long as he played against Sampson, he was basically a downside.

"Ralph is still the No. 1 center in the league," Ewing said unfinished. "If only he had a good team."

The Knicks' acting coach, Rudy Tomjanovich, won Game 6 of his career.

Why not game 1?

Because over the years, he has also coached several games in Louie's absence.

However, this is the first game he has officially won as the team's head coach.

A good start is half the battle.

"I definitely don't want my winning streak to end in my hands," Tomjanovich joked to reporters. "So, I will do whatever it takes to win."
