The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 306: A hopeless future

Villanova University Wildcats head coach Massimino burst into tears on the spot, and the players huddled together in ecstasy.

Wildcats don't admit they are Cinderella, they are the strongest contenders.

Harold Jensen, the only white man among the ten strongest players on the field, handed the game ball to Jack Nevin, a 70-year-old assistant coach: "It's for you, Jack."

"Everyone's talking about Georgetown! Georgetown! I've had enough!" Ed Pinckney, the Wildcats' number one player, roared excitedly. "Hey me a cookie!"

When asked if the game was the greatest he's ever played, Pinckney denied it as if he was insulted: "No, my greatest game was two years ago and I took 27 points, 22 rebounds."

His eyes were sharp, staring at the reporter and adding: "The opponent is also Georgetown."

Looking at the performance of this group of people, Louis thought of a song.

"Cat\'s In The Cradle" by Harry Chapin.

There are lyrics that say:

Andthecat\'sinthecradle, and the silverspoon

The cat in the cradle, the silver spoon

Littleboyblueandthemanonthemoon

Sad little boy, man on the moon

The Wildcats faced a team that deserved to be remembered in basketball history, and the game stole the history they deserved.

To do that, they need to get Georgetown on edge with the zone defense.

Then shoot 78 percent without any rebounding advantage, knowing that this team has a defense that no other team in NCAA history can match.

This is the miracle.

In addition to Ewing, Louie also found several good players in this game.

The core of the Wildcats, Pinckney, the Dwyane McLean who held the ball at the end, Georgetown's entire set of starters, especially Ewing and Reggie Williams, a sure-fire No. 1 pick and a lottery prospect .

Louie didn't go to see Ewing, and it wasn't a good time.

He also didn't go to John Thompson to catch up, and he wasn't sure if he could control his dissatisfaction and say those ridiculous scenes to him now.

Thompson was the only reason Georgetown lost the championship, should Louie ignore that?

He was a stinky and unpleasant person to tell the truth, and considering he didn't want to lose Thompson's friendship for a while, it wasn't a good idea.

That night, Louis, Tomjanovich and Zhao Yuanzheng returned to the hotel.

He asks a question that doesn't seem to require consideration: "If we get the No. 1 pick, should we take Ewing?"

Tomjanovich laughed. He was joking when he called Louie.

Will anyone take this year's No. 1 pick and not pick Ewing?

Ewing's stagnant growth wasn't unexpected by Louie, and if the Knicks got the No. 1 overall pick as he knew they were, why didn't he make a wild trade for this immeasurably valuable pick?

For example, in 1985, the draft year that followed the 1984 draft, the greatest rookie was not in the top ten. Like the immortal 1996 draft, the 13th pick in the first round is a magic spot.

The Utah Jazz selected Karl Malone with the 13th overall pick in the first round.

The Knicks already have Stockton. Wouldn't it be okay to call Malone over again?

If Malone is selected, Louie will not have to worry about his performance in the NBA, because Malone has fully realized his talent in the history he knows, he has definitely touched his ceiling, and it is impossible to change it. Stronger ⑴.

For a moment, Tomjanovich realized that Louie was serious.

"Lu, are you kidding me?" Tomjanovich asked.

Louis raised his eyebrows flexibly and asked self-evidently: Do you think I'm joking?

"Ewing does have a lot of problems, but his talent is real and hard to refuse." Zhao Yuanzheng also thought of a layer, "If we got the first draft lottery but did not choose Ewing, the consequences would be disastrous."

Yes, Louie can imagine the result.

The boiling public grievances are estimated to make Louis dismissed.

It's like the Spurs didn't pick Duncan, the Cavaliers didn't pick James, and the Pelicans took RJ Barrett with the No. 1 overall pick in 2019.

If the fans don't kill you, the locals are good-natured.

"Forget it, don't want this, who can say what will happen in the future." Louie is still not sure if the No. 1 pick is from the Knicks.

He didn't know if he had done something that would have caused the butterfly effect to get the Knicks out of the No. 1 pick.

They spent the night at a local hotel before returning to New York.

The major change in the league in recent months has been the deal of ownership.

Larry Miller acquires 50% of the Utah Jazz for $8 million;

Jerry Reinsdorf bought a 56% stake in the Chicago Bulls for $1,000 and hired Jerry Krause as the team's general manager.

The Knicks suffered a wave of injuries.

Bernard King's torn ACL isn't the end, it's the beginning.

Nightmare, James Bailey, bruised ankle;

Louis Orr fouled Barkley for an offensive foul in the game - Louie: You know this can't be taught by me - resulting in a fractured rib;

Butch Carter suffers a gluteus groin muscle strain and a sprained foot;

Roy Sparrow's hips have been tense for many days;

Ken Bannister has a back injury;

At its worst, the Knicks had only six people to play.

While the media in New York felt sorry for poor Louie, they concentrated on spraying the team doctor, which resulted in the team doctor being fired.

However, dismissing the team doctor cannot immediately restore the injured players to health. Therefore, Louis scolded the team doctor for incompetence, and repeatedly emphasized that the players should protect themselves.

As a coach, everyone who can play under him is injured.

Louie is not a heavy-duty coach.

He's famous for his "doing nothing" on the training ground, something that was questioned when he was with the Celtics.

So, it's hard to blame the Knicks' injury wave on Louie.

Everyone was injured, and the Knicks, who had no hope, suffered a losing streak.

No one scolds Louis.

The Knicks' record fell to the fourth-lowest in the league, but Louie received the highest honor as a tank coach: the right to spray-free.

You won't find a head coach who leads a team to 27-48 without being scolded.

With seven games remaining, the Knicks have not won a single one.

They ended a shaky season with a clean seven-game losing streak.

Is there anything to be happy about? They're the third-worst in the league and will go for the Ewing jackpot with a 14 percent chance.

Another good thing, all the young players traded to the Knicks from other teams are playing better than they were on the original team.

Dale Ellis was just a backup in Dallas, and came to the Knicks and turned into a major output point with 16 points per game.

Antoine Kyle's post-up offense allowed fans to allow his defensive laziness and inattention, and he averaged 13 points and 4 rebounds as a backup for 25 minutes per game.

The biggest surprise was one of the giveaways of the Cummings trade, Tony Campbell, the dynamic sixth man who averaged 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game in limited minutes and non-record-seeking junk, his poison attributes has emerged.

The most underrated is Stockton~www.readwn.com~ He averaged 9 points and 7 assists per game in 26 minutes. If the players in the same class are too monstrous, they can compete for the first-team rookie.

Needless to say, Louis rarely had a holiday in early April.

Next, the Knicks will focus on examining the rookies of the class of 1985. His opinion is very important, but he does not need to do everything himself. The dirty work is left to the scouts and Zhao Yuanzheng. Make the right choice in the heap scouting report.

1985 is still a long way from the familiar era of Louis, but the frequency of acquaintances' names has become more and more frequent.

If it is premised on making the right choice, he will not do wrong.

The difficulty is how to do it right, and it is also beneficial to the future development of the Knicks. Of course it's not difficult to just pick the right person. The hard part is whether the right person is suitable for the Knicks.

Both correct and appropriate, is the fall roar!
