The Rest, Only Noise

On January 27, Louie departed from Boston to Denver with Bird, Thomas, Sampson, and Laimbeer.

"Everyone, what are your plans when you arrive in Denver?"

Louie didn't put Lorraine on the same flight with them because he didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable.

Lorraine is so beautiful, she will attract the attention of many people wherever she goes. The last thing Louis wants to see is that his team members can't help but glance at her out of the corner of the eye.

Although he is a person from the future, he also does not want his girlfriend to be noticed by too many people.

"What else can I arrange when I go to the mountains? Just follow the league's regulations and finish the game!" Laimbeer was selected as the All-Star for the first time.

He feels bad about being an All-Star, and he doesn't like the title and honor because his contract doesn't say how he'll be rewarded if he's an All-Star.

To be exact, he was selected as an All-Star, and his salary was only double that of Louie.

If you can't make more money, being an All-Star is no more proud than showing off your hits this month to your teammates.

"You can read it," said Louis happily. "I hope you are all like him."

Bird said bitterly: "If I want to live like him, I might as well die."

"What's Larry talking about?" Ranbir said uneasily. "We are close comrades in arms."

"Not intimate at all, thank you."

"Well, this may be true, but we have a lot of hobbies in common."

Sampson said with great interest: "How many?"

"We all love drinking Heineken."

"Agreed," Bird had to say.

Ranbir laughed: "We all love money."

"No problem," Bird had to say.

"We all like to win."

Ranbir said with certainty.

"It's true." Bird nodded without question.

Louis followed up: "You missed the most important thing. Your mouths are very stinky, you usually look like rascals, and you have major flaws in moral cultivation but never introspect."

"Agreed!" Thomas and Sampson responded together.

"qnmd!"

Louie laughed: "Look at the amazing quality of the hillbilly, which perfectly proves that I am not slandering him."

They arrived in Denver without a hitch.

This is the State of the Mountains - People in Colorado always say if you think today is the worst day of your life, don't get discouraged, because anyway, the worst is always being here and opening your eyes only to find There is tomorrow.

Louie didn't know how these Americans, who had nothing to do with food and clothing, lived like the users in the NetEase cloud.

However, every time he came to Denver, he didn't feel good.

Although there are tall buildings, the mountains are prosperous, and I feel that I live in the shadows.

This sense of oppression is determined by the environment.

A bit like someone living in Hong Kong, Louis used to feel pressure every time he went to Hong Kong. Although he saw high-rise buildings everywhere, he felt dull and hard to breathe, because when he looked up, what he saw was not blue sky and white clouds, but blue sky and white clouds. It's a tall building that covers the sky.

They went to the hotel first.

Arrived at the hotel, there was another dinner arranged by the alliance.

The head coaches of the East and West star teams have to formally meet with their players.

At All-Star Weekend in 1984, players weren't the type of future star who needed to keep their distance from fans, and there wasn't as much commercial activity.

But starting this year, everything will be different.

Because it has been confirmed that David Stern will officially succeed Larry O'Brien as president.

There's no suspense since O'Brien's abdication, and Stern is the favorite because he has a good relationship with the cable company, an area of ​​interest for the bosses.

Cable can increase their revenue, raise the profile of the league, and get all the teams publicized.

Louie meets his players.

In addition to his own, there are Sidney Moncrief of the Bucks; Dr. J, Malone, Andrew Toney of the 76ers; Worthy, Kate Tripka of the Pistons, and Robert who was just traded to Detroit. Parrish; and Otis Birdsang of the Nets and Wizards, and Jeff Luland (jeff; pf/c).

They are basically old opponents, but many of them lack understanding of Louis.

Moreover, the star players in the East are mainly from the Celtics, the 76ers and the Pistons.

The star players of the three teams add up, including four starters and nine All-Stars.

They fought each other to the death in the playoffs, so it's not easy to be friendly now.

The All-Star Game takes place on January 29.

In addition to the main game, there is also the first dunk contest in NBA history.

Dr. J, who left a legend in the slam dunk contest, took the lead in participating, and the enthusiasm of others was naturally high.

After all, no matter how strong Dr. J's dunking ability is, he is already very old, and it is impossible to be as good as in his prime.

"littlelu, after you guys won Dallas by 81 points, I suddenly let go of that game at the beginning of the season." Dr. J laughed.

Louis naturally put a mask on himself and responded kindly: "Actually, that's not my intention. You know the Celtics have a lot of militants, and I really can't control them."

"!%￥%#..." Ma Long said gruntingly.

Louie kept smiling, puzzled.

Dr. J translated: "Moses said, you are too humble."

"Thank you for saying that, Moses," Louis laughed. "Everybody says that."

Malone took a sip of wine, and his throat seemed to have improved a lot. Louis finally didn't have to let the doctor translate what he said.

"You're not sincere, Moses doesn't like it," Malone said.

Louis asked back, "Will you tell the truth to someone you meet for the first time, Moses?"

"We've met a few times, and you're really insincere." Malone got on the bar.

Several other star players in the East watched Louie as carefully.

The Bucks' only star player, Moncrief, was awkward, and he didn't have a good relationship with Bird.

To be precise, there are no players in the house with whom he is close. Because his defense is too strong, he is a ghost in the game. No one wants to see him. Except for his teammates, there are very few colleagues who like him.

The two Pistons are well-behaved.

Birdsang and Luland are basically invisible.

The 76ers' old rivals were really the ones that Ken and Louis communicated with.

At the end of the banquet, Louis said the arrangement for tomorrow: "Although we will only play one game, since everyone has come, we will play a wonderful game and make the audience happy, so I will hold a training session tomorrow. , I hope everyone will come."

Dr. J said immediately: "I can't, I have a lot of activities to participate in."

"Understood, Doctor." Louie looked like he could talk.

The Doctor was about to laugh when Louie continued, "If your sponsors and agents think those activities are more important than your playing time in the All-Star Game under 15 minutes, I absolutely support your absence from practice tomorrow. ."

The elegant Dr. J is not a good-natured person.

Hearing Louis' words, his face changed instantly: "Lu, are you threatening me?"

"How can you say it's a threat, it's too ugly." Louis smiled lightly, "This is a kind reminder."

Dr. J angrily said, "I can't just play for 15 minutes!"

"No, you heard it wrong, I mean, if you don't come to training, I will limit your playing time to 15 minutes." Louis' sudden strong look made his players very comfortable.

Bird and others have always been curious about what Louis will look like when coaching the Eastern Conference Stars. Will he take the words he usually treats to them to greet other teams' leaders? For example, a guy like Dr. J who is obviously a player but has a boss attitude?

Now they see it.

Louis attacked hard internally, and even grinned outwardly, refusing to give an inch.

Dr. J thinks his style is irreplaceable: "Okay, if I'm under 15 minutes, I would like to ask who do you ask to please the fans?"

"What's so hard about this?"

Louie looked at Malone and teased, "We'll let Moses show Denver how to grab an offensive rebound."

"Moses don't like it!" Malone excitedly defended his teammates, "Ah Gollum#%@#%!"

Louie continued, "We could also have Sidney show everyone how to keep a magician out of shit."

Moncrief grimaced, and his heart was "I can't stop it".

"Then I'll let Ralph play the number one. You don't know he can play the number one, right?"

Sampson's face changed greatly.

"Let Isiah play the second position. He is the deadliest shooter on our team."

Thomas suddenly noticed that his chrysanthemum was cold.

"By the way, I'll have Andrew Toney as our Raiders and let him beat the Western Conference star team the way he's beaten us in the playoffs over the past few years."

Ranbir asked interestingly: "What about the dunk? This is a Boster repertoire!"

Dr. J nodded, knowing that his most irreplaceable value was dunking.

"Don't worry, I'm ready."

Louie was seen pointing incredulously at Larry Bird. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"You may not know that Larry is the one-of-a-kind dunking wizard. In my eyes, his dunking is no less than the doctor's, just because you are too prejudiced against his skin color and think that white people must not dunk. If you can Go back to Game 7 of the 1981 Eastern Conference Finals and you'd see Larry blow the Doctor off with a deadly dunk."

After Louis finished speaking this round, he successfully hypnotized himself.

"Wow, we have so many talents. If the doctor doesn't even participate in training, I think the best job for him is to throw towels at the end of the bench for us." Louie is the real threat this time, "Maybe 10 Not even a minute of playing time."

The Doctor didn't believe Louie would do that: "I'm the fan-voted starter."

"I'll let you start, and let you play for a few minutes before switching." Louis threatened blatantly, "How about it, Doctor, do you want to take this opportunity to take a good rest?"
