The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 1069 Since it is unpredictable, don't predict

The OJ Simpson case shocked the nation.

On June 13, when the police reported the case to the outside world, many media followed up.

The Knicks' third game with the Blazers was watched by 21 million people.

The news of the Simpson case attracted 130 million viewers.

It's not one level of heat.

You can watch a basketball game anytime, but few celebrities can make such a shocking scandal.

The case was so high-profile that New Yorkers, including, were numb to the Knicks' two-game losing streak in Portland.

For them, being chased to a 2-2 draw by the Blazers seemed acceptable.

They care more about the progress of the Simpson case than about whether the Knicks can complete their seventh consecutive championship.

But Louie and his colleagues don't have the slack.

Right now, Louie is considering whether to go to Portland to watch the game live.

It is now tied 2 to 2, Jordan and Barkley and Thomas are playing their best.

Game 4 was a collective outburst for the Blazers, like their Game 4 against the Warriors, completely unstoppable.

In order to understand the situation ahead, Louis let Zhao Yuanzheng go over.

After Zhao Yuanzheng participated in a training class, the message he gave back to Louis was: "Everything is business as usual."

What is business as usual? It is this group of people who have been winning two games in a row by the Blazers, the atmosphere in the team has not fluctuated, and the training is the same as usual.

This news reassured Louis a lot.

He felt that he was a little too concerned, this team has experienced enough things, and the big score is not enough to shake the hearts of the army.

The only thing to worry about is Rudy.

He has never coached under this pressure and his ability to withstand pressure has never been tested.

On the eve of the Battle of Tianwangshan, Louis really felt the pressure of Rudy.

It was 2:30 in the morning, and Louie, who was also in a state of insomnia and was replaying the finals of Game 3 and Game 4 in a small room, received a call from Tomjanovich.

"Did you sleep well when we were 1-3 behind?"

1-3 behind the Celtics in 1988?

Although "only" 6 years have passed, it already seems like a past life to Louis.

"I guess I can't sleep."

"estimate?"

"I was only 28 years old and had a lot of energy."

"You're not old now... Bah, don't get off the topic!"

Louie smiled and asked, "Do you feel that the situation is out of control?"

"Yeah, I'm unprepared for what might happen in the next game."

"It means you're finally starting to become a good coach," Louie said. "The real good coach is to have this unpredictable sense of crisis. We're not gods, Rudy, sometimes, we Nothing can be done, only changes can be made according to how things change. You want to ask me what to do in this situation, I can only say nothing, because no matter how much we prepare, the Changes will also exceed our expectations.”

Tomjanovich scrutinized Louie's words and suddenly asked, "Do you think we can win Game 5?"

"I was never worried about that."

It's a lie, of course, but sometimes a lie is a hundred times more useful than the truth.

Those who don't know when to tell the truth and the lie can't do it.

Louie and Rudy chatted for more than half an hour, and he could hear a strong unease in the other's tone.

This kind of thing is really normal, Louis has had it.

And it happened not long ago.

In the 1993 finals, when Louie decided to "take a gamble", he lost the initiative and, like Rudy, was unsure of what happened next.

Whether the Knicks can win Game 5 in Portland, Louie doesn't know.

But he couldn't say he was worried too. Rudy was already under a lot of pressure, and if he acted nervous too, the whole team would be uneasy.

Louie stayed up until the next morning.

"Dear, didn't you sleep last night?"

"You don't believe your husband can get up earlier than you, Malena?"

"Yes, the only thing that can wake you up is the alarm clock."

"Well, I really didn't sleep." Louie managed to find the culprit before Lorraine scolded him, "It's all Rudy's fault, I was going to sleep last night, but he suddenly called me, We talked for hours and he was under a lot of pressure, and it was under a lot of pressure for me too..."

Lorraine acted like he didn't watch the news at all: "Has Rudy been in trouble lately?"

Well, very real performance.

When Louis stopped coaching, Lorraine rarely went to the field to watch the game. She really didn't care about basketball, and it was only because of Louis that she followed.

If Louis was not on the line, she would be out of the pit in minutes.

"He should be less troublesome than OJ." Louie joked.

Speaking of "OJ", Lorraine showed great interest: "Do you think he killed someone?"

"Uh...I don't know."

Although the gossip effect fermented by Simpson has reached the level of Kobe's chic in Eagle County (1), Louie knows nothing about it.

Before time travel, the only Simpsons he knew was the cartoon "The Simpsons".

So when Simpson's wife murder case broke out, Louie was stunned.

Suddenly, this matter took over his life, and even if he wasn't interested and didn't want to pay attention, the media would put relevant information in his ears in a different way.

The last time he felt this way was Kobe Bryant's retirement in 2016, and that ubiquitous presence was really exaggerated.

"It's horrible, I've seen OJ himself and can't believe he would do something like that."

Lorraine then began analyzing Simpson's character and how likely he was to be a murderer.

Louie was forced to participate in the discussion, acting as if he was paying attention.

In fact, he didn't care whether Simpson killed or not.

His Knicks are in jeopardy, how can he care about those bad things in Los Angeles, when will these people who like to draw attention to the heat die?

The game that night proved how accurate what Louie said ~www.readwn.com~ Some things are really unpredictable.

For example, Sabonis' injury.

The Trail Blazers, who were aiming to win three straight games at home, were hit hard at the start of the game.

Sabonis failed to stabilize his body while protecting the rebound, sprained his knee directly, was carried off the court, and withdrew from the game.

The first minute of losing Sabonis, the Blazers began to read the Lithuanian.

When he was there, he didn't feel it yet, and the Knicks' inside advantage was still great.

But he was gone, and Ewing and Kemp immediately let the Blazers know what cruelty was.

Wilson and Miller shot at will from the perimeter, and Ewing and Kemp dominated the boards.

Miller shot without any burden, finally found the feeling of scoring goals, and began to become unstoppable. He made 10 three-pointers in the whole game, and soared to a team-high 34 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

But the best player of the game was Kemp.

He blew up Barkley with 26 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, proving that he already has the strength of the league's top insiders.

The inside pillar of Optimus suddenly fell, and the Blazers were caught off guard and were taken away directly by the Knicks.

With a big score of 3 to 2, the Knicks are only one game away from their seventh consecutive championship.

⑴In fact, the one that is closer to the popularity of Simpson's wife murder case is the day Kobe crashed, but I really don't want to use this analogy.
