The Rest, Only Noise

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

Louie and Stockton talked a lot.

It also talks about what role Louis will put Stockton on in the new season.

"I don't want you to bond too much with these guys, so you don't get much time, and you have some technical issues."

Stockton wondered what was wrong with his technique.

Louie points to the three-point line.

"Since you watch Celtic games a lot, you must know what I want from a guard."

Louie remembers that Stockton had developed a solid 3-pointer in the '90s.

In the 1997 Western Conference Finals, he killed the Rockets' Big Three, and in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals, before Jordan's final layup, steal, and shot, it was also his three-pointer, which forced the Bulls into a corner.

These well-known examples are enough to prove that even if he did not grow in the three-point era, he can master a good outside three-pointer through hard work the day after tomorrow.

If Louie reinforces the importance of the three-point shot, it's worth looking forward to how far he can practice.

Since that day, Stockton will practice 500 three-pointers a day.

Louis sighed a little. In this era, there is no trainer dedicated to helping players improve their shooting. If there is, there is no need to train so hard.

After chatting with Stockton, Louie decided to walk around the Blue Palace to learn about the layout of the training hall.

After six years at the Greek Academy, he had only one requirement for the new team's training ground, no worse than the Greek Academy.

As a result, the Blue Palace greatly exceeded his expectations.

He forgot about the Greek Academy the first day he came here, is that a place for people?

A few days later, Lou met assistant coach Rick Pitino, who he hoped to stay.

"Coach Lu, it's nice to meet you." Pitino said politely.

Louis smiled: "Me too."

Pitino sat down in Louie's office.

Louie put coins in the vending machine that was just introduced and asked, "Rick, what would you like?"

"I'm not thirsty, thanks," Pitino said.

Louis took a bottle of Coke for himself, opened it and drank it, then asked, "Rick, I have read your resume and appreciate your emphasis on defense. What the Knicks need most now is discipline, I don't know, Would you like to stay and help me?"

Louie didn't waste time saying useless words and got to the core.

Hearing this, Pitino was not surprised. He said modestly, "Thank you for your appreciation, Coach Lu, I also like your coaching style."

Usually people who respond like this are accompanied by a "But".

Sure enough, Pitino's "But" followed: "But, I've decided to accept Providence College's invitation to return to college basketball."

Louie had heard of Pitino's grades at Boston University.

He helped Porto reach the national championship again after a lapse of 24 years, and then struggled with the illegal recruitment scandal. Last year, he chose to join professional basketball like other coaches who had no hope in college basketball. under his command.

However, Brown was fired by the Knicks before the contract ended due to poor governance.

Pitino came for Brown, and when Brown left, of course he had to find a way back for himself.

Louis invited him to stay to his delight, but it was too late.

"Since that's the case, I can only wish you a bright future." Well, Louis is a scumbag.

The biggest characteristic of a scumbag is that when he finds that his prey is not interested in him, he will immediately withdraw and let go.

Anyway, the Knicks are going to be bad after all. If there is a Pitino to adjust the team's defense, maybe it will not be good, but it will be as dignified and strong as the Clippers in 1997 and the King in 2021. , but no future.

In 1997, many teams began to irrationally play the Stud No. 1 pick in the middle. The quick-witted Clippers found that this was a once-in-a-decade opportunity. They decided to make the playoffs and touch the floor in the first round. What Duncan? , Maddie, what's the use of these people? Are you happy to make the playoffs? Go away!

Everyone knows that the king has been rotten for more than ten years, and it is likely to continue to rot. 2021 is a big year for the draft, and if you get the top five picks, you can get cornerstone players, and after more than ten years of rottenness, they unanimously decided to go all out to qualify for the playoffs. Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, Jaylen Suggs, Jaylen Green, Kuminga are only grateful.

Louie needs to expand his coaching staff in addition to meeting the other main draft players.

If nothing else, Tomjanovich will become his chief assistant coach, in addition, he will need two or three people to join.

Otherwise, it would be too tiring to put everything on Tomjanovich.

The donkeys in the production team didn't work like that either.

Louis knew a lot of people, but most of them were in management.

Although the coach knows a lot, most of them have a bad relationship. He took the Celtics to do a lot of **** cases last season.

Those coaches who have a good relationship with him have a stable position. Even if they are not coaches, they may not be willing to come to him as assistant coaches.

So Louie decided to advertise for college coaches with no professional basketball experience.

Hearing that Louis was recruiting, Debusschere enthusiastically recommended someone to him.

In Louie's office, he just had a Coke.

Debusschere said with a smile: "Don't you want to know who I'm going to recommend to you?"

"You said, I promise not to spit it out." Louis stared at Debusschere while drinking Coke.

He couldn't believe he couldn't name someone who was so outrageous that he spit out Coke.

"Phil," Debusschere said, "Phil Jackson, you know what?"

"Pfft~~~~!!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Phil Jackson."

"Phil Jackson of P, h, i, l, J, a, c, k, s, o, n? Did I spell it right?"

"That's right."

"Saddle nose Li Lebo!"

Debusschere didn't expect this reaction from Louis: "You know Phil?"

"I don't know him? I..." Louis never imagined that Debusschere would recommend the top three coaches in history to him. "I just met him not long ago."

Seeing that Louie's reaction didn't seem disgusting, Debusschere continued: "Phil has been doing scouting work since he retired, and his financial resources are not stable. After seeing your advertisement, he wanted to apply. But he's not a college coach, so ask me for your opinion."

Sending an advertisement to fry fish and fry a great **** is something that Louis did not expect.

This great **** is not confident in himself, and he is recommended by his old teammates, which is even more unexpected by Louis.

Louie was excited and excited, but his head didn't heat up.

He had to remove the image of the Zen master from the Bulls and Lakers days and replace it with a confused, precarious, retired player who wasn't confident in himself but desperately needed a steady job.

He is considered a "beat generation", that generation, always living a life of being drunk and drunk.

Louie wasn't sure if Zen Master would be a good teaching assistant, so he couldn't make decisions based on the other's "potential".

"I can meet him." Louis decided to be like Wang Feng in "The Voice", sitting there with a shelf and asking, what dreams does Ning have?

Upon hearing this news, Debusschere nodded happily: "Okay, I'll tell him for you."

"By the way, Dave." Louis stopped Debusschere, who was about to inform his old teammates, "Please help me inform the regular team members, and next Friday, please all of them come to the Blue Palace. , I want to meet them formally."

"next Friday?"

Debusschere said embarrassedly: "I'm not sure if they can all show up, because the holiday is not over yet, and the preseason training camp will not start until the end of the month."

"It's okay~www.novelmt.com~ I am a reasonable and very tolerant person. You told you that they will come or not." Louis said casually.

"OK."

Debusschere could not have imagined that Louis was so enlightened that he was able to destroy all the coaches of the team with the aircraft carrier. Is that so?

In the evening, Louis attended a banquet held by MSG executives.

Louie meets the MSG executive.

Both Madison Gardens and the New York Knicks are assets of the Gulf Western Industries. In terms of level, the Knicks are subordinate to the industry under the name of Madison Gardens. Therefore, the person currently in charge of MSG is the top management of the Knicks.

But there are tops above the tops.

The Knicks are only a fraction of the business involved at the top.

The executive is a middle-aged white man who likes East Asian culture, which is a good thing for Louie.

His real name is Leon Wood. In order to show his goodwill to Louis, he gave himself a Chinese name called Wu De. Although he is the highest level that Louis can currently reach, this Chinese name is not necessary. Ow.

Wu De knew of Louis' bad plan, and he didn't object: "We can spend money at any time, but I hope the money is worthwhile and splashed."

"It's far from the time to spend money." Louis analogized, "To build a good house, we must first lay the foundation, but now, our foundation is in a mess, so it will take some time before we start construction."

Wu De smiled and said, "You have five years."

"enough."

"Then, this glass of wine is dedicated to the rising five years." Wu De and Louis clink glasses.
