The Rest, Only Noise

Falling in love with youkanshu.com, the rest is only noise

Stockton, with the help of a trainer, worked hard to improve his ability to handle the ball.

Just as Louis had imagined, Stockton had nothing to watch. If it is said that pleasing the audience is part of the DNA of Nash, Curry, Bai Qiao and others, then Stockton obviously does not have this DNA.

He doesn't have this factor in his chromosomes.

Now, Stockton is working out with several of the players he was drafted with.

There are ten rounds in the draft, and the Knicks have selected ten players, with the exception of Brazil's Oscar Schmidt, everyone else is here.

Picking Schmidt was another idea of ​​Louie. He had heard the name of "Holy Hand". He chose him, but he just kept the bottom line. Maybe he will find a way to let this arrogant international player join the NBA in the future, maybe not. In short, hold him firmly in the palm of your hand.

As for the other guys the Knicks drafted, only Stockton has NBA caliber.

The other few people can only serve as sparring coaches now, and if nothing else happens, they will not be signed. Players who don't get signed either go overseas for opportunities, or go bank clerk like the last Dan Trant of the 1984 draft—why would I know about him? Because this ordinary person who was once selected by the NBA died in the 9/11 attack (1).

At this time, they are playing the audience 4V4.

Stockton is clearly a class above the ball, and he dares to give orders when he has the ball, like a general.

Louie had seen the interview when he was drafted by the Mavericks, and his first impression was very good.

He said that as long as he could give Brad Davis a break, his mission would be done.

He was later told that his signing rights had been traded to the Knicks.

So he changed his mind and said, "I'll try to get Sleep Floyd a little time off."

Ironically, the Knicks traded Floyd to the 76ers with the 10th pick in the first round, and then used the 10th pick in the first round to exchange signing rights for the Mavericks.

The Knicks front office was smeared by the media for two months for drafting Stockton and then only signing Pat Cummings and Louie all offseason.

Many are worried about Louie's prospects with the Knicks.

Even if Louie is a top chef, if you give him these dishes, what can he make?

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!

In this matter, Dave Debusschere took the blame for Louis.

Louie wants him to sign some young players, but don't chase big names, because with the Knicks' current personnel structure, even if they get the second All-Star, the ceiling is to reach the second round of the playoffs, which is meaningless.

So Debusschere was sprayed again.

Why not pursue Bird at a high price? Why not raise the price with the Celtics? Why did you invite Louis but not prepare him a good hand?

It is rare for the New York media to say a word for Louis, Debusschere can't say anything, so he can only shut up and spray.

If the media knows that Debusschere is still thinking about trading Bernard King, I am afraid that he will be deprived of his Knicks star status.

Debusschere wanted to work, but was stopped by Louis.

Although the grievance between him and Jin is great, it is not insoluble. He will try to improve the relationship with Jin. As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on his methods and Jin's knowledge.

If it doesn't work, the big deal will be the news of the discord between the generals and the trade.

If it does, Louis will have to think hard about how to put the gold in the right place.

To be sure, the Knicks must not use King as the absolute core to build a championship lineup.

This is a dead end, and the leading scorer who lacks the ability to instigate is Rick Barry in 1967 and Allen Iverson in 2001.

Iverson's story, fans all know, Barry is different, you call him a scum, an asshole, no problem. In his first few years in the league, he played like a 17-for-47 Kobe Bryant in every game. In one game in the Finals, he made 17 of 41 shots. It is said that he only passed the ball 11 times that night.

As a result, on the one hand, he was terminated by OK, and on the other hand, he was smashed by Chamberlain, who had become a good doctor for a long time, and taught Barry that "he shot too many times, and his teammates always looked at him blankly." If even Chamberlain is complaining that you are taking too many shots, then you should really seriously reflect on your offensive tendencies.

I don't criticize the play of the two of them here, just say why they got there. The strength is certain, but every Iron Man who is crazy to fight iron but leads the team to the finals has a reliable man behind him.

Iverson has Mutombo, the best defender before Howard since the 1990s;

Rick Barry has Nate Thurmond living in the shadow of an ancient giant.

In other words, they have the ultimate arrow and the ultimate shield, but it is a pity that the two hardest shields in the world have a problem, that is, they can't guard against the sharpest spear in the world. One of them was played with the shark as a toy, and the other was crushed by Chamberlain who averaged 18 points, 29 rebounds and 7 assists per game.

Therefore, it can be concluded that if Louie builds a team around Bernard King, even if he can give Auerbach a mental guise, and then steal Sampson from Boston to New York, their upper limit will be hit. In the division finals or the finals, there is a certain potential for the championship, but the chance of winning the championship is slim.

Louie's thoughts returned to reality. This 4V4 game was won by the Stockton side without any suspense.

Stockton easily scored 18 points and 14 assists, and no one on the opposite side could guard him.

Then they found Louie.

They knew Louie was the new head coach, and they knew more about what he had done in Boston, especially his feud with Bernard King.

"Don't worry about me, you guys keep training." Louie said.

Now, Hubby Brown's assistants are still on vacation, and Tomjanovich won't be here until a few days later. Apart from these players, there are only staff in the Blue Palace.

Debusschere hides from the media, and Webblin is about to take off his team president hat.

The Knicks are waiting for nothing, Louis has made it clear that the new season is going to be bad, but how to be bad, how to be bad, how to be bad, how to get out of the festival, to produce skills, bad hope, and a promising future will test the coach very much. staff's power.

He had heard the venomous tongues of New Yorkers, knew that the media didn't like him, and knew that many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

"John, do you have time?" Louie said to Stockton. "Let's talk."

How dare Stockton refuse: "Of course, coach."

Louie and Stockton came to the sidelines to sit down and asked, "Are you still used to being in Apple City?"

"It's okay." Stockton should have asked this question.

He had been living in New York for a few months, and Louis had only been here for a few days.

"Have you watched the Celtics play?" Louie wondered if Stockton knew anything about his coaching style.

"That's a repertoire of my spare time," Stockton said earnestly.

"What kind of defender do you think my system needs?" Louie asked him.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"If you can tell me some lies to make me happy, I'm willing to listen."

Stockton smiled and explained, "If you want me to do what Isiah does on the court, I probably can't."

"How can I be so strong? In my opinion, you have better qualities than Isiah."

Stockton didn't take Louis' good words to heart, he'd heard too much.

"You have good dribbling habits, the decisiveness to spot and seize opportunities, and first-class defensive skills and awareness, these qualities cannot be taught." Louie said bluntly, "You are the only one on this team. long-term projects.”

Stockton asked in disbelief: "Am I the only long-term project?"

"Yes, the Knicks are a hopeless team. If we maintain the lineup, we will not be able to achieve results. So I will tear down and rebuild. In this process, only your position is stable."

Stockton is the only useful rookie the Knicks have acquired this year, and the only player Louie is sure to grab.

The rest of the people, who can't win, can be traded, just throw it away, whatever, Stockton is a key link in his future plans.

"Coach, why me?" Stockton wasn't a curious person, but he couldn't help asking now, "There are many better players in the team than me, Bert. Nader King, Pat Cummings, Bill Cartwright..."

"Do you think it's incredible?"

"Unbelievable and incomprehensible."

"Then I'll help you understand."

Louie laughed: "Do you watch pornography, John?"

"Uh?"

"You don't see?"

"I...I come from a traditional family."

"Poor bastard," Louie said regretfully, "I hope that the director of a pornographic film can find some 'experienced' women to star in, because they always know what a man wants to see in a woman, even if they are not beautiful or in shape. Okay, but they always know that 'fu**me' at the camera can get a man excited quickly."

Stockton's ears were burning, and he didn't expect Louis to say such a vulgar language.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"The guys you just mentioned are the kind of 'experienced' women I mentioned. They are already very mature and can plug and play, but this also means that they have little room for improvement."

"If I was watching a pornographic film, I would choose their type of actor."

"But as a new coach, I prefer a man with a future." Louis said lightly, "For example, you, John."

(1) This guy played in the third-tier league and averaged 22 points per game. He was born in the wrong era. If we put it now, it would be no problem to come to some small Asian national leagues as foreign aid.
