The Rest, Only Noise

In addition to the Knicks, Louis is also concerned about the development of Chinese players in the league.

Song Tao joined New York that year, opening a new history of Asian basketball.

After entering the 1990s, Yu Tiancan's generation of players set off another wave of landing in the NBA.

At present, Yu Tiancan has confirmed his position in the Knicks.

It can be said that Yu Tiancan is the best Chinese player currently playing in the NBA.

Followed by Hu Weidong, who has become the backbone of the Warriors and an important member of Don Nelson's "Theblitzkrieg" system, currently averaging 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game, with an overall shooting rate of 47%.

After that is the pioneer of all of them. Song Tao, who played for the Hornets, has passed the peak of his career and is still averaging 6 points and 4 rebounds per game as a substitute this season.

The rest, such as Wang Mukong, Du Shuai and Chu Nan, are still seeking their own positions in the alliance.

Louie would occasionally talk to them on the phone, but mostly just observe silently.

Because at the professional stage, what he can do for them has already been done, and the rest is up to him.

In the Knicks, after Raouf's "blasphemy of the Stars and Stripes" incident ended, the team not only did not have a situation because of it, but unified its thinking.

With the exception of Stockton, the attitude of others towards Raouf has not changed significantly.

Raouf has been suspended for 15 games and will be out of the public eye for a while.

That's a loss for the Knicks, but they have enviable depth.

Rookie Sam Cassell jumped at the chance to become the first player in his class to have consistent playing time.

Tomjanovich is very satisfied with the aliens' defense and shooting.

This gave Tomjanovich an idea.

Why not let Kassel replace Rauf?

There are many advantages to doing so.

Cassel, for example, does not suffer from Raouf's strange disease. If that advantage wasn't big enough, so how about this -- he's not going to be locker room poison.

He wouldn't upset Stockton.

Cassel is more willing to entertain people than to block people like Raouf.

Ewing likes to joke about his looks, because there doesn't seem to be anyone who looks more like an alien ET than him.

And Raouf's problems as a player are far less than the problems he's caused as Rauf.

The player Raouf is just not easy to get along with, his character is indifferent, but he has the privilege (unlimited right to fire).

Raouf himself was an anti-Christ, an anti-American.

Tomjanovich certainly doesn't want to tune into such a thorn in the early stages of his career.

He's not Louis, he can't train the thorns like Louis back then.

But to remove Rauf's thorn, Tomjanovich still needs Louis' support.

In his view, this is still Louie's team.

Louie is New York's Auerbach, and he's Louie's Tom Heinsohn.

So, when Tomjanovich came to Louie's office to speak out about his plans.

Louis hesitated for a few seconds, as if surprised.

"Don't you agree?"

"No." Louie shrugged, "I mean you don't have to ask me about everything, this is your team."

This can have many meanings.

Tomjanovich retorted: "It's also your team, this is our team, MAR is one of your most admired players, but I can't get used to him."

"I know what you mean, Rudy, you don't need to care about my feelings, I said, now you are the head coach, this team is under your control, the rotation of the team, the appointment and removal of personnel are all up to you."

"It's all up to me?"

Tomjanovich was surprised.

This was not the Louie he knew.

It is not that Louis will not delegate power, but that Louis will not delegate power so easily.

The Knicks team was built by him, and the atmosphere and culture of the team's locker room were all set by him. Without him, the Knicks would not have become a dynasty team.

Even if he is really tired and wants to hide behind the scenes like Auerbach did, he will not ignore it.

In Tomjanovic's view, the night Raouf desecrated the flag was the reaction of Louis who really cares about the team.

After that thing was done, Louis also fell silent.

There was little news about him, and no one knew what he was doing.

Ewing and Wilson often go to the office to chat with him, but he will not go downstairs easily.

Because Tomjanovich needs time to establish his leadership.

Tomjanovich knew this well, and he was very grateful to Louie.

But now he felt more and more wrong.

Louis did not think of him as Heinsohn, nor did he look like Auerbach in the background.

Auerbach never misses an opportunity to declare his existence, and he hangs like a shadow over Greek Academy and the Boston Garden.

"My Healing Game"

As long as he is there, the Celtics will not be reduced to mediocrity.

The visiting team will feel intimidated and the team playing for him will feel at ease.

Louie could play that role in New York as well.

But he didn't.

He's giving the feeling that this team can be competitive without him.

"Yes, it's all up to you," Louie said affirmatively. "If there is a player you can't handle, or a player you're very interested in, you can tell Elgin and let him handle it for you."

Tomjanovich asked boldly, "What about you, what do you do?"

"I'm in charge of what Elgin can't handle." Louie's face was calm.

Tomjanovich is gone.

He felt that he should be happy that Louis did not hold him back at all.

Should he be happy?

Tomjanovich may have never seen the real face of Louis, but he was an old friend who had followed Louis for more than ten years, and he knew what kind of person Louis was.

He believes that Louis is making the final confirmation.

He's making sure the team still needs him.

If they prove that the current Knicks can be successful without Louie, there's no need for him to stay here.

He is a fickle man and a rather conceited man, always eager for a challenge, without which he will lose his aggressiveness.

Think of Louie's contract expiring next summer and the fact that he's showing no sign of renewing at all.

Tomjanovich really feels that the brightest page in the history of the Knicks is about to be turned.

Even with countless thoughts in his mind, Tomjanovic did not show it in front of the players.

Coming to the center of the field, Tomjanovich called Cassel.

Do you want to take on more responsibility, he asked Cassel?

"Coach, I've been working as a temporary worker since I was in elementary school," Cassell said confidently. "I have a heavy responsibility all year round, and I'm used to it."

Tomjanovich nodded, "Go to training."

Unlike Louie, Tomjanovic is not only a coach on the field, but also a coach off the field.

The Knicks never saw Louie in their training sessions, but Tomjanovich was always with the players through every session.

Players have long been used to his presence, and it is the same now, but his status has changed from assistant to head coach.

The boring CEO routine bores Louis.

The Knicks don't have the need to make deals in the near future, and he's not coaching again. There's really nothing to do.

In theory, he can choose not to come to work, and if something happens on the team, Baylor will call him.

But he had to come and sit here every day.

Because there will always be someone knocking on his door.

"Bang bang."

It's Ewing.

Louis could already tell who was coming by the rhythm of knocking on the door.

"Is it because Rudy's training volume is too low, why are you running to me all day long?"

It has been almost ten years since Louis suffered from the disease of "no mouth Ewing makes his whole body uncomfortable"~www.readwn.com~ Let me see if you are being lazy. "Ewing said.

"I'm lazy, what can you do?"

"It's best to be lazy."

"What's the meaning?"

Ewing said with a smile: "If you're lazy, you're relaxed, just like before. If you're as sensitive as you are now, like a lion ready to rush out of its cage to bite, then I have to worry about it. ."

Louie never wanted anyone to worry about him, especially someone like Ewing.

"You worry, my life is comfortable, there are few things to do, and I don't have to face your flat faces every day, let alone feel more comfortable!"

"Go away, I don't want to see you now!"

Ewing took four empty Coke bottles from the desk: "Drink less, I think you've gained weight recently!"

"Does your father want to die?"

Louis' roar almost shook the entire Blue Palace.

Ewing left with a "comfortable" expression on his face.
