The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 395: Off-Site Trouble with the Silent Assassin

The quiet training camp seems to be business as usual, and the Knicks are ready for the new season.

The integration of the newcomers went smoothly, and the murder pressing lineup was officially established.

Even Song Tao played in the confrontation, and made a deep impression on him with a dunk and "fuck" across Ewing.

When the black and white teams in the competition are selected from the roster by the head coaches of both sides, whoever chooses first becomes an interesting link.

Louie will let Tomjanovich and Jackson shoot, or have a one-shot bullfight, or draw lots.

There are many ways, each of which can activate the atmosphere of the Blue Palace.

Tomjanovich's first choice tends to be Ewing, while Jackson's first choice is McHale.

The second choice is interesting, Jackson and Tomjanovich tend to choose Stockton.

That upsets Benjamin Wilson, but he won't be a priority over Ewing, McHale and Stockton until he's physically good enough to dominate the matchup.

On the 10th day of the competition, Louis introduced a trading system.

That is, if both sides of the competition are not satisfied with the selection, they can make a deal with the consent of the other side.

The black-and-white confrontation became the most anticipated part of the training camp.

Louie followed up with a number of impressive shows, such as a spot-up shooting contest, where the winner's prize was a $3,000 check.

The money was paid for by Louis himself.

There is also Louis' personal "best fight of the day award".

Whoever works the hardest in training camp can come to Louie's office the next day and drink a drink from the vending machine.

This award has been monopolized by Stevens from the day it was introduced.

Excellent chemistry spread throughout the Knicks.

On the eve of Media Day, Louie got a call.

Dale Ellis was taken to the police station for DUI.

This matter quickly attracted the attention of the media, and various reports emerged one after another.

Ellis had been drinking a lot when he was stopped by the patrol officers, which makes driving extremely dangerous, breaking the law and risking a short prison term.

The team behind Ellis managed to bail him out, and he didn't end up in jail.

But this reminded Louie that it makes sense for each team to choose to hold preseason training camps in other places.

Not so much in the field.

What Louis did not expect was that it was Ellis who committed the crime, not anyone else.

He has always regarded the silent and reserved Ellis as a Spurs player.

It's the type that trains hard, plays hard and then goes home and sleeps.

Looking at him now, he may not be. His silence is by nature, which does not mean that he is idle.

Louie reassured Ellis not only because of the latter's reliable performance on the field. If it is only reliable on the field, Louie will not regard him as the future of the team.

He knew about Ellis' past. Ellis grew up in the church and his hometown is Marietta, Cobb County, Georgia. Marietta reluctantly succumbed to what the Yankees called "progress" during the mighty Progressive movement of the 1970s. In the throwaway culture of fast food restaurants and "unisex" hair salons, the Confederate flag fluttered in the breeze.

Unaffected by social change, Marietta became one of the 24 fastest-growing regions in the United States during the 7080s.

Ellis is one of Marietta's prides.

He went to the University of Tennessee and fulfilled his dream.

He's the rare kid who can read in the library at lunchtime, the perfect player who never misses practice, never arrives late, never even argues with a coach. Ellis was one of the first children to enter a racially integrated school, and his popularity brought white and black children together at his school, still considered a model for the Marietta area.

This is his public image before entering the league, a role model.

In his family, Ellis is also the backbone.

When Ellis was 9 years old, his father, John Ellis, was shot and killed. When he was very young, he went out to work to help his family share the financial pressure.

Ellis found a brilliant way to overcome every difficulty. He brings his inner emotions to the basketball court, where everyone's ball is the same, the basket is always fair and constant, and he can control his own destiny.

After Ellis came to New York. Because Louie's system allows a shooter like him to play, he shoots harder.

Every time everyone finished training, Ellis would also practice shooting.

At one point, Louie asked him why he was always shooting.

Here's his answer: "Whenever I have a problem, I'll just run out onto the court and shoot until I can't."

He's the kind of guy who keeps everything in his heart.

There are many things that Louis thinks he knows enough, but he doesn't know enough, after all, people change.

The incident led Louie to look more closely at Ellis' past, finding that Ellis was arrested for DUI two weeks after being drafted by the Mavs when he was in Dallas.

Plus this time, this is the second time he has had an accident due to drunk driving.

He was going 60mph in a 35mph zone before being stopped by patrol officers last night.

At the Knicks' media day, Louie kept quiet about Ellis' DUI.

He really has nothing to say, and Ellis looks like the least troublesome player on this team.

On the 20th day of training camp, Ellis returned.

Louis immediately asked him to come to his office to explain the problem.

He said very few words, and when Louie asked him why he was drinking and driving, Ellis's answer made him angry: "Drink if you want. I wasn't drunk at the time."

"Not drunk? No? You told the police that you drank five double vodkas and had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.20%, and you said you were not drunk? I'm not interrogating you now, I'm trying to find out why you Drinking? What's the matter? Or is it too stressful? You just signed a big contract. If you kill yourself because of a drunk driving accident, you'll be dead, but what about your family? You don't think you're because of this Will the team's salaries be paid after the death of this kind of thing?"

Ellis was taciturn, no matter how angry Louie was, he couldn't ask a fart.

"Don't think it's over if you don't say anything about it!" Louis said angrily, "If there is another next time, you will be suspended from the team."

Ellis left silently.

This silent assassin, Louis likes his ruthlessness on the court, but when he encounters a problem, his taciturn personality can cause headaches.

Louis did not have a deep friendship with him.

Even if Louis is his Bole, it doesn't mean that he needs to open his heart to Bole.

He is also Louie's most reliant shooter.

He only needs to repay Louie on the court, training is not discounted, he leaves the court, and what to do, the coaching staff really can't control him.

How effective Louie's warning will be is unknown.

For the rest of the training camp, Ellis didn't get into trouble again.

The trouble off the court seemed to have helped him, and he was the team's top scorer for the next ten days.

His performance masked his off-court troubles.

Louie didn't ask any further questions, and Ellis didn't go to jail.

His lawyer played the racial card because his police department has been slammed by affirmative-rights activists for years of law enforcement violations, so the evidence provided by the police would not be accepted by a jury in court. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Ellis thus escaped jail time.

Training camp is coming to an end, and the Knicks' new lineup is showing the chemistry it deserves.

Louis looked at the roster, the rotation schedule, and the playing time was almost set.

Lineup: Stockton, Ellis, Wilson, McHale, Ewing.

Links: Tyrone Corbin, Dale Curry/Hornacek, Rodman, Oakley, Ball.

Murder Press: Corbyn, Stevens, Rodman, Oakley, Seley.

Time setting: Position 1, Position 2, Position 3, Position 4, Position 5.

The time setting is an approximate value and not accurate.

If Louie uses a murder press in a game, the five guys that make up the murder press get more minutes than usual.

Even so, there are still people in this lineup who have made great sacrifices.

Song Tao basically can't get playing time. Last season, Stevens was still the team's key striker and defender. Now, due to the arrival of Rodman and Salley, his regular playing time will be greatly reduced.

At the end of training camp, Louie announced the Knicks' preseason schedule.

A total of six games, all played in Las Vegas.

The preseason is a good place to train troops. Louis came up with a small goal: "Since our opponents don't have strong teams such as the Lakers and Celtics, it's not too much to get a complete victory, right?"

After all, they have to play with real guns, because there is no need to examine new players, the roles and positions of players, the playing time has been set, and every game should be taken seriously.

Louis asked for a complete victory in the preseason.

However, having confidence is better than nothing.
