The Rest, Only Noise

Vol 2 Chapter 1549: Is this team okay?

The 2004 NBA Finals lost its suspense from the beginning.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers are sitting on two MVP-level players, Kobe and Garnett, they are separated because of internal problems. The Knicks are full of a sense of mission to win the championship.

It has been 8 years since they won the championship last time. That was 1996.

Now, the Knicks, who welcome back Benjamin Wilson, know very well that there is only one way to make the King of June a glorious curtain call, and that is to win the finals.

The chaotic Lakers won the third game of the finals with Kobe's 44 points in a single game, but they were still unable to unite, which led to their defeat in subsequent games.

After five games, the Knicks defeated the Lakers 4-1 and won their eleventh championship in team history.

Benjamin Wilson, who averaged 26 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in five games, won the seventh FMVP trophy under the cheers of the crowd.

And, Wilson gave an interview to ABC at a press conference that night wearing a champagne-soaked championship T-shirt, categorically saying his career would be over tonight.

Reporters want to know why, and fans want to know too.

Because the 37-year-old Wilson is still the finals MVP, he looks like he can play for a few more years.

"This is my twelfth championship." Wilson said flatly, "I am now the player with the most championships in NBA history. In other words, I have lost my goal of playing. If I continue to play, I will win again." Win the championship? Maybe, but what I've seen over the years are more self-deluded old men struggling to keep themselves on the field in order to break the total stat record. If they are ten years younger, this kind of record means nothing to them value, but why did they try their best to hit that record at that stage? I think this is the only way for them to prove to the world that they are still great. I don’t want that, and I don’t need that. After 18 years of career, I've played long enough, won enough, and it's over here, and I'm satisfied."

Finally, the ABC reporter asked, "So do you have any regrets?" Wilson thought for a moment, "My coach is not here."

"Coach Tomjanovich? Isn't he there?"

"No, I'm talking about Coach Road," Wilson said regretfully. "If only he were here."

In this way, the best player in history, Benjamin Wilson, ended his 18-year career.

In these eighteen years, Wilson scored 35,954 points, 9,480 rebounds and 9,340 assists, won championships twelve times, was elected MVP 5 times, was elected FMVP 7 times, was selected to the All-NBA Team 16 times, was selected to the All-Defensive Team 11 times, and was selected to the All-Defensive Team 18 times. No matter how you look at it, Wilson is the greatest star in NBA history. He redefined the heroism of professional basketball, and his career spanned the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

ABC interviewed Louie remotely. They wanted to know how the greatest head coach of all time evaluates the career of the best player in history who played under him.

"Russell and Wilt grew up with me, Hondo, Kareem, Bill Walton shaped my view of basketball, Maggie, Larry, Ralph revolutionized the game, but . . . .In my opinion, none of them are superstars.” Louis said, “There is only one superstar in the history of professional basketball, and that is Benj. Compared with him, other superstars are just avatars in the mouth of critics. They are nothing Benj is a fantasy and Benj is a giant in reality. When he leaves, the best basketball game will disappear on the basketball court, and I am so sad because this represents the turning point of the greatest game in NBA history."

Someone dug out what Louie said before when Ewing, Bird, Sampson and others retired for comparison, and found that Benj was the one who was blown the hardest. Regarding the statement that Benj is the only super giant, the Boston Celtics' small owner and executive vice president of the team, Patrick Ewing, reacted the most.

"The only super giant? How can you say such a thing?"

Louis was dealing with another business in hand, but there was a gorilla in human form chattering in his ear. "What's the matter

? "Louis asked heartlessly.

"I know you like Benjamin, but he is our enemy now. Not long ago, he killed our championship dream with his own hands. Ish was beaten to tears by him. How can you praise him so much in this situation?"

Louis found that the orangutan became smarter.

Obviously he was too angry, but he wanted to use the tiger's skin as a banner. Louis froze for a moment, and said in surprise: "Did I say such a thing?" Ewing couldn't believe that this person was so disrespectful.

"You said it yourself on live TV yesterday, don't you admit it now?"

"No..." Louis looked at Ewing helplessly, "Even if I said it, what does it mean? Do you think I am God? Is what I said the only truth? You retired at that time, I also said that you are the first in history. A center forward? Tell me if you recognize it or not.”

Ewing said humbly: "I don't admit that Bill Russell is the number one center in history! This is the biggest problem with your sentence. You can say that he is the only superstar, but he can't admit the result. , he seemed to enjoy it."

Louie noticed that the orangutan's ability to confuse people had also grown stronger.

Does he really think that Russell is Shi Yizhong? Not necessarily, but if he considers himself Shi Yizhong, Sampson's supporters will come out to bite him. Anyway, some people will object to him, so it is better to push the Lord of the Rings to the front.

"Okay, everyone has retired, why don't you allow them to enjoy themselves? We have to look to the future instead of living in the past." Louis casually gave Ewing a heart-wrenching news, "Besides, Benj doesn't intend to be a high-ranking man Goute, according to my sources, he has reached an agreement with the board of directors of the Charlotte Bobcats. If there is no accident, he will become one of the owners of the Bobcats, and he will be the real power directly involved in the operation of the team boss."

Hearing this, Ewing was even more unconvinced, "Why? Why was he allowed to be the owner of the Bobcats?"

Louis teased Ewing in a strange way: "Probably because he chose the righteous side in the labor war." "!#??@!%" Ewing said angrily, "I know he has a ghost in his mother's heart!"

"Okay, I still have a little fun, do you want to hear it?" "Yes."

Louie laughed and said, "The consortium that owns the Bobcats is complicated. They have many bosses. Besides Benj, there is an acquaintance...your good buddy Michael Jordan, he is also one of the bosses of the Bobcats."

"Can Benjamin and Michael work together?"

Imagine Jia Nailiang and Butt King chatting about Xiaolu's hair?

Also imagine Angelina Jolie and Jenferne Aniston playing sisters in a movie? Or imagine Tian and Doinb singing "Friends" together?

(PS: Welcome to add more "good brothers/sisters" cases)

On Ewing's face appeared the "gossip" look that Louis often saw on his wife. "Is this team okay?" Ewing asked with a smirk.

"I don't know, but I wish Benj the best of luck, how about you?" Ewing smiled even more wickedly: "You know what I think."

Besides having fun with the Bobcats, Louie has an important job with Ewing and the Celtics coaching staff.

When the next season begins, the Bobcats will join the NBA family as the 30th team~www.readwn.com~ This also means that before they join, the league will first hold an expansion draft.

After discussions between Louis and Bird, combined with the opinions of other assistant coaches, the Celtics selected a list of eight protected players: Lu Wuxia, Wade, Yao Yueban, Gasol, Ginobili, Boozer , Parker, Kirilenko.

This also means that Gerald Wallace, Kyle Korver, Brevin Knight and others are all outside the protected list. Fortunately, the Bobcats can only choose one.

For this reason, Louis made a special call to discuss with Wilson.

According to the results of the negotiation, the Celtics sent the 2008 first-round pick to ensure that the Bobcats did not choose Gerald Wallace and Kyle Korver.

However, Jordan is a variable.

When he heard that Louis did not want

When the Bobcats selected Wallace and Korver, he glanced at the data of the two, and directly put forward a proposition in the Bobcats expansion draft meeting that Gerald Wallace should be selected, because this is even Legend Lu. Everyone wants to protect people.

Wilson didn't want to break the agreement with Louis, so he had a big fight with Jordan, and then he called Louis again. Knowing the situation of the Bobcats, Louis smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just listen to Michael."

"Are you okay?" Wilson asked suspiciously.

"No problem." Louis said with a faint smile, "tell Michael that his judgment is correct, I admire him very much, and wish him the best of luck in the future." Did the Celtics keep Gerald Wallace? De felt melancholy for a while.

"Don't look like you're going to die or live. Good players are inexhaustible. Prepare for this year's draft." Louis nodded Bird, and everyone turned their attention to another major event.
