The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 758: Familiar Journey

Latest URL:

The fact that Ewing's team proposed to re-sign the contract and was rejected was not unexpectedly spread to the media.

No matter where the media is, there is no obligation to maintain the harmony of the local team.

Attracting attention is their number one priority.

As a result, many journalists who had no contact with Louie recreated Louie's quarrel with "Ewing" as if they were there.

As long as they can restore this non-existent picture, it can be concluded that they are only guessing on the basis of clues.

How dare Ewing bring this up to him?

The whole process was initiated by David Falk, and Louis firmly disagreed. Without the terms, the people in the Ewing camp could only do things outside.

Louie would like to have a chat with Ewing.

But the reason he wanted to chat with Ewing was not because of the re-signing of the contract, but because this guy actually became a spokesperson for Pepsi.

What's so great about this?

As soon as the finals ended, Ewing signed a five-year, $10 million endorsement deal with PepsiCo. Luckily, Louis is the spokesperson for Coca-Cola, and he hates Pepsi the most.

Louie wanted to know how Ewing took the endorsement.

Is it to disgust him specifically, or simply can't refuse Pepsi's 10 million US dollars.

If it is the former, then this orangutan deserves to die.

If it's the latter, well, a father-son relationship can't be worth $10 million, right?

Someone wants to ask what kind of father-son relationship between Louie and Ewing? The logic of this is simple. Louie considers his relationship with Ewing to be like a stern older brother and a dull younger brother. Over the years, he has been trying his best to encourage Ewing. The so-called eldest brother is like a father. Under certain circumstances, he is Ewing's wild father.

Is there something wrong? Please put it in this chapter if there is nothing wrong.

There is one more thing that happened at the end of June.

At the time, the draft hadn't ended, a new TV deal had not been signed, and the Knicks hadn't experienced all the things that irritated Louie.

This matter has nothing to do with the Knicks, only with Louie's wife.

Louie's wife, Lorraine Molina, was named Best Supporting Actress at the 17th Daytime Emmys for Monica Bellucci.

The invincible queen Susan Luigi's running legend continues. This year is her 11th consecutive nomination and still has not won.

In fact, for her, it doesn't matter whether she wins or not, her repeated defeats have become a cultural phenomenon that people talk about.

As the saying goes, no one will remember the top 16 unless you are in the top 16 every year.

Viewers who don't watch daytime dramas probably won't remember any of the daytime Emmy winners by name, but Louie, including Louis, knows an actress who has been nominated for 11 years without winning.

Throughout July, Louis was plagued with trivia.

In early August, Louis ended his annual trip to China.

He accepted an invitation from the USA Basketball Association to travel to Argentina as an assistant coach of the USA Basketball National Team.

It's unusual, there are a lot of good coaches in America.

Louis is one of the outliers. He is neither academic nor grassroots.

He's not coached in the ncaa, and he's not like those players who go straight to coaching after retiring. For professional basketball, he was like a purple MSI falling from the sky, as the Celtics' fire captain in 1983 let that broken team leave the playoffs with dignity. 1984 revives the glory of the Celtics. Five years later, he created another legend in New York.

After he won his fourth career ring, all active coaches admitted that he was the best coach in active service.

Would such a person be willing to accept the role of assistant coach?

There are many reasons why Louie took the job.

The biggest two reasons, one is the old k, the other is the needs of the alliance.

Today, the Olympic Games and fiba have lifted the ban on professional players. In theory, Americans can form a dream team in 1990. But the nba league has considerable resistance to this. They represent each team. Players are important assets to the team. If they are injured in the national team's game, who can be responsible? However, the NBA is unwilling to bear the stigma of being unpatriotic. Therefore, they did not refuse the wishes of the American Basketball Association, but only delayed the deadline for professional players to participate in international competitions. At the same time, they had to find a reliable coach to confirm the strength at the championship.

They wondered if the world of basketball had really grown to such an intensity that Team USA couldn't win a championship without sending out pros.

This is the driving force brought by the alliance, and on the other hand, Lao K's kind invitation.

Maybe it's more appropriate to call him Little K now.

Louis met Little K through Reed Auerbach, and the two kept in touch over the years.

Although Louis does not agree with Auerbach's many bad habits left over from the 1950s, the opponent's network in college basketball is unimaginable to others.

Auerbach's high shooting percentage in the draft is no accident.

He has contact with most of the college coaches, through their opinions, plus his on-the-spot observation to determine the candidates.

It's just that this method is no longer reliable as the NBA becomes more and more commercialized.

Because there are more and more college coaches who tell lies and carry private goods.

So Louie won't broadcast contacts like Auerbach, but it's certainly not wrong to maintain a friendly relationship with a hall-level college coach like K.

These are not enough, if Louie himself is not willing, he still can't let him go to the US team as an ordinary assistant coach.

The main reason Louie chose to join the U.S. national team was to get acquainted.

His ultimate goal is to become the head coach of the Dream Team.

With his non-American Asian identity, the head coach who wants to dream of a dream must have an overwhelming advantage.

Therefore, it is necessary to step on the spot first and leave a deep impression.

There are certain problems with the selection of Coach K.

Although he brought the best center in college basketball, Alonzo Mourning, to Team USA, he didn't bring the best guard.

Gary Payton and Chris Jackson, who just entered the league through the draft, are still eligible to play, and their play styles are also suitable for international competitions, but Lao K did not recruit them.

Most of the defenders he recruited were guards that Louis did not know.

Based on this alone, Louie dares to say that this American guard has no future in the NBA.

The most famous guard is Kenny Anderson. Although he has not yet entered the league, his reputation has spread throughout the United States.

Because he played well against Duke in the 1989-1990 season.

In addition to Anderson, there are players such as Billy Owens and Chris Gatlin who have been blown to the sky.

Little K is better than John Thompson in that he knows very well that the fiba game is not the same as the ncaa.

So the players he selected are all suitable for playing fiba, but do you have to rely on these people to compete for the championship? Louis is not optimistic.

When the U.S. team came to Argentina, Louie said in an interview: "I want these kids to show resilience and a never-say-die spirit. It's not the outcome that matters, it's the process that matters."

When did it matter to Americans that results didn't matter?

Taking into account Louie's character, he can say that, which shows how disliked the US team is.

In the group stage, the U.S. team narrowly defeated Spain and Greece, battered South Korea, and easily advanced.

But in the knockout round, they met hosts Argentina. Moreover, for some unknown reason, the organizers actually set the game to be late at night. All the spectators who came to watch the game were drunk and drunk, and even the referee lost his patience due to sleepiness.

During this period, coach Xiao K clashed with the referee many times, resulting in himself being ejected.

After Louie took over, Kenny Anderson was established as the center of the attack. Because he was in excellent form that night, combined with a combination of pick-and-roll and his sudden shot, he narrowly defeated Argentina 104-102.

In the second knockout game, the US team met the barbaric Australia. In the opening 2 minutes, the team's general Billy Owens was injured.

Little K and Louie are in a hurry, so the average 20-year-old American team player needs to be as patient as a 30-year-old old ball skin, not to push the tempo for granted.

Louie's Knicks-style high-post dynamic offense for Little K cracked the Australian's savage defense and allowed the U.S. to beat the opponent 82-76.

In the game against Puerto Rico, the U.S. team unexpectedly got into a tough fight. How the opponent made some three-pointers made the game anxious. The two sides hit overtime, and in the end, they still relied on the advantage of the back line to steal and counterattack the lore.

In the knockout round, in three consecutive games, the US team was forced to a last-minute decider.

In the semifinals, facing the strong Yugoslavia, the US team saw its upper limit.

Even if Mourning let Divac evaporate on both ends of offense and defense and scored 26 points and 11 rebounds alone, the rest of the American team had no answer when facing Petrovic and Kukoc.

The Croatian double star scored 50 points, stopping the US team's gold-winning journey here.

In the bronze medal match, the U.S. team faced Puerto Rico again.

"Although we didn't win the gold medal, the hard work of these guys will be remembered by the Americans. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Louis just wanted to laugh.

Which American will remember this World Championships?

In any case, his plan to get his Dream Team head coach took the first step without a hitch. Why does he want to be the head coach of the Dream Team? This is due to vanity.

Everyone knows it's the best team ever, and it's every coach's dream to be the coach of that team.

Only the best coaches can harness the biggest stars.

In addition, there was a small episode in the final of the World Championships.

In Yugoslavia, which finally won the championship, the independence movement in its domestic and Croatian regions intensified, and even **** conflicts occurred. Serbian Divac, Zako Paspa and Croatian Drazan Petrovic and Tony Kuko Qi and Dino Raja were all told by the team leaders: If you find flags and slogans about racial independence in the arena, you must ignore them.

When Yugoslavia defeated the Soviet Union by 17 points in the final to win the championship, ready to celebrate, a fan with a Croatian flag (later the flag) walked into the arena, and Divac, who had been asked to ignore the flag of ethnic independence, walked to In front of the fan holding the Croatian flag, he told him "this flag should not be here", but the fan just replied "your Yugoslav flag is shit". In a fit of rage, Divac snatched the flag from the fans and threw it out of the field.

All the Croatian players in the Yugoslav team saw this scene, but none of them reacted excessively. They just celebrated with the Yugoslav flag in their hands and kept shouting Yugoslavia.

Before the mountains and rivers are broken, the first thing that is broken is the connection between people.

Louie returns to America with a bronze medal, and he's about to face tougher questions.
