The Rest, Only Noise

When Andy (The Shawshank male protagonist) used his professional skills to invite the inmates who went out to work to drink beer, Louis could feel that kind of comfort.

Just like when his mouth is dry, what he wants to drink most is not water, but Coke.

Louie could fully appreciate how those people felt when they drank.

Morgan Freeman's performance far surpassed all beer commercials.

Seeing Freeman drinking makes everyone want to take a sip.

Andy, who brought such enjoyment to the inmates, just sat alone in the shade and enjoyed the rare freedom with a smile on his face.

When he saw this, Louis began to forget himself.

He didn't even have the emotion of "Why did I watch this movie until now", and he was completely immersed in it.

The collapse of the old inmate Brooks' parole application and the "institutionalization" that Red (Morgan Freeman's character) refers to reminds Louie of his own predicament.

There are many explanations for institutionalization. For example, being a mechanical laborer in a company with little money and a lot of work is exhausting, but without this job, you don’t know what to do. This is institutionalization. Freelancers will also encounter the same problems, doing the same things step by step every day, and people will become numb over time.

Louie thought about his last year in New York.

As hard as the decision to leave was, it was a relief to arrive in Los Angeles. If he chooses to stay, he will also be institutionalized.

With the advantage of the traverser, he can still keep the Knicks strong, but for himself, it is no longer any fun.

Now, he is preparing for his comeback.

His original plan was to create a very different team than the Knicks.

The Knicks he led were the most perfect defensive team ever, and he wanted to create the most perfect offensive team ever.

However, there seem to be thousands of obstacles in the middle.

At last year's NBA meeting, Stern tried to increase restrictions on hand-checking and got 20 votes against it.

At the same time, he wanted to introduce joint defense to weaken the threat of the center, but was unanimously opposed.

Even tougher codes of conduct for on-field violence have not been passed.

This means that the current rules still favor the defense.

Defense is still the winning code.

It is easier said than done to build an offensive team that breaks the shackles of the rules and succeeds in such a situation?

Louie was full of fighting spirit at the beginning, but as his theoretical research entered the deep waters, he had nothing to learn from ahead of him.

He has to rely on himself to constantly rehearse in his mind.

Once he finds that it doesn't work, he has to overturn all the research results of the recent period and start over.

If he can't master a set of mature theories, he can't come back.

And that was the source of his pain.

He was stuck in a certain position, in a dilemma.

If you back off, you'll have to give up everything you've been working on for months and build the team the way you did in New York.

What's the point of that?

If he brings out a second Knicks team in Los Angeles, what's the difference between that and staying in New York?

As the film progressed, Louis's mood calmed down again until the most critical turning point came.

Andy had the hope of clearing up his grievance, but soon experienced the deepest despair, and he and Reed sat in the shade to finish their final conversation.

Andy's utopia is a place called Zihuatanejo, which is located in Mexico and is a small island in the Pacific Ocean. Andy wants to open a small hotel there, and maybe buy a few boats to take guests out to sea. Of course, he also needs a partner who can get everything for him.

"Get busy living or get busy dying."

This is a line you must have heard even if you haven't seen Shawshank.

It was this line that gave Louis a peculiar energy inside.

He can't stop here.

He's only 35 years old, so young, he can do anything.

Before watching this movie, Louie thought it would be as ugly as those high-scoring literary films, but it was quite skillful and metaphorical, and it turned out to be the opposite.

It still has enough metaphors, but it's not ugly at all.

Not a second of the 144-minute film is superfluous to Louie.

When the end credits surfaced, Louis and Lorraine and the audience were silent for more than ten seconds.

People in movie theaters feel the same way.

I just finished probably the best movie of my life?

"If the movie's title is changed to "Hope is a Good Thing", maybe the box office can be doubled." Louis couldn't help but feel sorry for it. "Even if it's called "Zihuatanejo"?"

Louis and Lorraine waited in the cinema for a few minutes before leaving.

Back in the car, Louie wanted to chat with Lorraine about the movie.

Unexpectedly, I heard my wife say, "I think you and Andy are the same kind of person."

"It's not a good sign." Louis smiled wryly.

Andy is in prison for killing his wife and cuckolding him in the movie, and although he was wronged, the crime was always on his head.

"Like Andy, you are a person who can make achievements in any industry. I don't want to see you looking haggard anymore, so cheer up and find your Zihuatanejo, okay?"

Unless you have a different dream in the same bed, the person next to your bed is always the one who understands the other person's mind best.

When he was young, Louie was a man who believed he could move the world. After coming to Los Angeles, he encountered a bottleneck and started his mid-life crisis.

The messiah who created the Knicks dynasty would also back down under pressure.

Because he has achieved success with the methods he is most familiar with, there is absolutely no need to try unfamiliar fields.

Lorraine didn't understand Louie's plight that well, but the Shawshank movie inspired her.

Although Andy's situation is different from that of Louis, their yearning for Zihuatanejo is the same.

Everyone has their own Zihuatanejo in their hearts.

Some people are like Rhett, and they need Andy, a bird that can't even imprison him in the deepest place in the world, to lead them to Zihuatanejo.

And Louis is a person like Andy, his desire to challenge is so strong, if he can't reach the Zihuatanejo in his mind, Lorraine can't imagine what kind of torment he will suffer in his heart.

Louie is not a person who likes to bring work home.

Especially those annoying things at work, he will always block him at the door.

But this time, he made Lorraine realize his difficulty.

He was speechless for a while.

"I will, Malena," said Louis softly. "I will find my Zihuatanejo, and by then you will be the first to see it. I am already on my way, I see. It's here, I just...I just need a ticket."

When Louis and Lorraine got home, they gave their wife a goodnight kiss and locked themselves in the work room.

On Louis's desk, there is a notebook.

On the first page of the notebook were the words: beautifulbasketball (beautiful basketball).

Louie named it "Beautiful Basketball". There is no preface to this book, because the preface often has a certain guideline, but he didn't know how to go about this new system before.

Suddenly, his mind was opened.

So, he wrote this passage in the "Foreword": "Every coach wants to master the 'secret' of basketball throughout his life, and here I call it 'Zihuatanejo'. In basketball, the only way to get to Zihuatanejo is to play the perfect offense. What is the perfect offense? In 1986, Larry Bird, the greatest player of all time, could score 1.29 points per shot, which is The highest value in league history. So, does this mean that the Celtics can run a lot of offense around him, or should the Celtics do it?

If the perfect offense is Zihuatanejo, what is the path to reach it? In a scoring path, the point guard might choose a pull-up jumper or drive to the layup, the wing player might make a three-pointer from the corner, or cut to the basket for a dunk. In Larry's case, he With the highest scoring percentage ever, does that mean if he takes more shots, the Celtics' scoring percentage will also go up? the answer is negative.

That's the biggest hurdle in basketball, even if you have the best players, your team won't get to Zihuatanejo without careful planning.

How about ~www.novelmt.com~ Have you decided to read on? "

Louie is standing at the most delicate point in basketball's history, and he has personally ushered in an era where all teams are playing his way. That's enough to put him on par with any hall-level coach in history.

However, when he chose to leave New York, gave up writing eternal myths in Apple City, and came to Los Angeles for a new challenge, he decided to abandon the concept of the past. It was a rare moment when the fate of the individual and the team was at stake, and Louie was shaken with greater resolve and a decision to blaze a new path.

Such moments often occur within a day, an hour, or even a minute, but the impact is enough to transcend time, twinkling like stars, illuminating the entire night.

ps: Do you know how painful it is for someone like me who doesn't really understand football to write this kind of thing? You won't know, you will call me short.
