The Rest, Only Noise

,

"...you should be humble and take more advice from experts!"

Lorraine's angry voice made one of Ewing startled.

He looked at Lorraine carefully, and he dared to say that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen since he came to America, more beautiful than Madonna.

However, this does not mean that she can criticize him from Louis's standpoint.

"I play hard to improve my life and my talent, and I won't accept any groundless accusations," Ewing said firmly.

"Unwarranted accusations? You don't know the NBA or basketball at all!" Lorraine said indifferently.

Ewing sarcastically said, "So, do you understand, ma'am?"

"Okay..." Louie didn't get involved in this debate, didn't talk to Ewing, just said to Lorraine, "Let's go, Malena."

Then they left, leaving behind America's young talents.

After watching the play, Jordan asked with a smile, "Patrick, what's going on?"

"It's nothing." Ewing didn't want to say more on the matter.

Louie sees a lot of people who take the initiative to show his favor, and he responds with nods and smiles.

After a while, he came to the stand temporarily built by the church gymnasium for the Olympic selection team.

The last time Louis saw Knight was when he was visiting Isaiah Thomas a few years ago.

At that time, scouting was still the focus of his life, and for Knight, he only heard about others but did not do anything. Now, he has a better understanding of what Knight is like.

He had a long and wildly indulgent career, known for smashing chairs on the field, choking a player, downplaying violence and showing his toughness with a whip.

"Coach Knight, we meet again."

Louis introduced Lorraine beside him.

Knight nodded slightly: "If you told me at the beginning that you would become the head coach of the Celtics in a few years, I would definitely think that you were playing with me. Things are unpredictable, Lu."

"Indeed, I didn't expect to become a head coach so soon." Louis sold out.

Knight snorted softly: "Are you here to give me advice on my work, or are you like everyone else, using this as a pretense to get close to the players you're interested in?"

"Neither." Louis refused to admit, "I'm here on vacation."

Knight asked jokingly: "A vacation with $10,000 in public money? How good are the Celtics outing people? Maybe I should have accepted Reed's invitation."

Louis didn't expect Knight to even know about his business trip. It seems that his relationship with Auerbach is not generally good.

"Well, Coach Knight, to be honest, I'm here to investigate these young people." Louie said that the group of people who were generally 1-4 years younger than him on the court were young people, but they didn't feel inconsistent at all.

Knight wasn't surprised either.

He asked, "What do you see?"

"Since the Soviet Union has decided to boycott the Los Angeles Olympics, the gold medal is already in the bag of the American team." Louis affirmed, "They can definitely keep the championship in the United States."

What Knight wants to listen to is not this kind of scene, but what is useful to him.

"If you were the coach, how would you design this team's play?" Knight asked.

"It's hard to say, I'm lazy." Louie joked, "If I have an overwhelming advantage, I might not even call a timeout."

Next, their eyes turned to the pitch, where another confrontation began.

The list of participants is star-studded.

Jordan, Perkins, Ewing, Stockton, Malone, Barkley, Danny Ferry, Turpin, Alwan Robinson.

Louie also saw the Bulls general manager Rodthorn (rodthorn), he looked at Jordan eagerly, can not wait to remember every moment of the Flying Man on the court.

However, Barkley is the most dazzling person on the field.

Especially in the confrontation with Ewing, he has the upper hand, his strength, skill and maturity are stronger than the gorilla who has been cared for three years in the "greenhouse".

He grabbed an offensive rebound, rushed to Karl Malone, knocked him over, and dunked.

It's almost like looking at a more nimble, explosive and jumping Zion Williamson down a notch.

Next, he ravaged talented high school student Danny Ferry with the reputation of "Second Bird". He probably flipped Ferry over four or five times, knowing that Ferry's father was there.

He made no accusations of Barkley's brutality, accepting with some equanimity that his son was tortured by Barkley on the court.

Louie knew that a dislocated monster like Barkley had the power to dominate the fiba game.

In his previous life, when he was working in the CBA, he saw a lot of big foreign aids who were out of nowhere and were eliminated by the NBA.

The most typical is Jared Sullinger. Because of injury, he did not stay in the nba, and then when he came to the cba, he became an invulnerable monster. Unfortunately, the injury prevented him from playing in the cba.

Barkley, as the extreme existence of this type, will have more power.

The problem is, Knight doesn't like him.

"I saw the strengths and weaknesses of Marvin Barnes and Spencer Haywood in Charles."

Knight was blunt about his thoughts on Barkley.

For a talent monster who has not yet entered the NBA, if someone puts you and the above two people together, it is a bit dangerous.

Just like Cousins ​​was compared to Michael Beasley, Derek Coleman and old Zach Randolph and Rasheed Wallace before the draft.

Whenever you put them together with these people, you will naturally think of a few words.

Unprofessional, immature, restless, and capable of making trouble off the court as much as his potential.

"If I want to secure a gold medal, I'll put him on the roster," Louie said honestly.

"No, if he's still like this, I won't put him on the roster," Knight said firmly. "I just want obedient players."

After Barkley abused his opponent, Jordan also completed a beautiful high jumper.

"How about Michael?" Louie just wanted to reconfirm the top coaches' judgment of Jordan's potential.

Knight laughed: "He should be the No. 1 pick this year."

"How?" Louie asked. "Is he better than Patrick?"

"Much better, as long as he enters the league, he can reflect the value, and Patrick is still a piece of jade, which needs to be carefully crafted by an experienced coach." Knight is a potential Joe Blow, "Michael will rule everything."

The recognition of "Sports Illustrated", the recognition of scouts after Ewing and Olajuwon, and the appreciation of coaches like Knight who have watched countless people-probably, the Portland Trail Blazers are the only team that cannot get In the case of Ewing and Olajuwon, still don't want Jordan's team?

Louie's mind is very tight, he wants to change the 1984 draft, especially the second pick. Because as long as the Blazers' choices are changed, the subsequent series of drafts will change.

The more he learns about this year's draft, the more he thinks the Blazers' front office has grown pig brains.

Especially when Stu Inman came to the scene himself, how could he ignore Jordan's performance in the selection camp? Did he think this behavior was common?

This is really incomprehensible.

Louie stayed in Indiana for three days, and in the afternoon he would go into camp to observe.

Unexpectedly, those days were when the training camp began to lay off people.

Karl Malone and Antoine Kyle were both cut.

Next up are Stockton and Kevin Porter.

The last thunderbolt, Barkley, who ruled the selection camp, was fired!

This is the biggest news that broke out during the US team's training camp at Indiana University. With the performance of the training camp, Barkley soared from the top ten to the top five, but Knight couldn't bear his disobedience and reckless character, so he could only kill him. Pigs warn monkeys.

What Louie couldn't understand was that he knew exactly who was talented and who wasn't, who could play and who couldn't—just because he started with a solid four-man roster: Jordan, Perkins, Ewing and Teasdale you.

However, when the roster finally came out, Louie saw many unfamiliar white players.

From the perspective of talent and strength, except for Mullin, other white players are almost weak.

As soon as the roster comes out, they will start closed training, preparing for the warm-up game in June and the NBA All-Star team in July.

It's time for Louie to go back and prepare for the Eastern Conference finals, too.

Unsurprisingly, the Celtics' opponent in the Eastern Conference finals is the Milwaukee Bucks. The opponent who eliminated them last year is now in the Eastern Conference finals again.

All Louie has to do is knock them out and avenge last year's revenge.

Before that, he had to report to Auerbach what he had learned and gained from going to Indian University.

"If we got Clyde in last year's draft, the Celtics could be strong until 1995; if you listen to me and do that deal with Phoenix, I'm sure the Celtics will be strong until at least 1992. It's the best team in the East, and now I'm going to recommend you one more person, and if you get it, the Celtics will be the top team in the East until the 21st century."

Louis stoked Auerbach's appetite.

"Did you mean Patrick Ewing or Michael Jordan?"

"No, neither." Louie said the name. "Karl Malone of Louisiana State University."

Auerbach was holding a cigar, like Marlon Brando, in order to play the godfather, he squeezed out that voice, and put something in his mouth when he said the lines, "Is he related to Moses Malone?"

"No, they have nothing to do with them."

"If he's that good, why haven't I even heard his name?" Auerbach asked.

Louie said arrogantly: "If everyone can discover genius, how can I still be in the first place?"

"Okay, go get busy, I will pay attention to the person you mentioned." Auerbach didn't seem to be so concerned.

It's a pity that Louis recommended him this time someone who can play for 20 years.

He didn't expect Auerbach to listen to him and just report on his work as if it were homework.

It doesn't matter what the outcome is.

He still said that, the Celtics are very interesting to play, but if he leaves this team in the future, he finds that they are so strong that no one can play even if a dog is tied off the court as a coach. , it doesn't make sense.

Very tmd boring.
