The Rest, Only Noise

In the corridor of the Blue Palace, there are two vending machines.

Louis took out the money and wanted to buy Coke.

He saw Ewing standing beside him and asked politely, "What would you like to drink?"

"Cola?"

"ice cream?"

"Cheese beans??"

Seeing that Ewing didn't reply, Louie asked angrily, "Anyway, he's a person who graduated from college after four years of study, and he doesn't even know how to be polite?"

"I don't want anything," Ewing said coldly.

"Then you're missing something good."

Louie bought cokes and little packets of cheese beans.

Louie was drinking Coke and eating cheese beans, and Ewing was very upset by the crunch of his voice.

"Can't you eat anywhere else?" Ewing asked.

"Just don't like being in the same place with me?" Louis was often self-aware.

Since Louis didn't go, Ewing had to go.

Just as he was about to walk into the Blue Palace, Louis leaned against the wall and said slowly, "If you think I'm targeting you, so be it."

"You admit it?" Ewing asked angrily.

"If you are angry because I am targeting you, I can only say that selecting you with the first pick in the first round was the biggest mistake I made." Louis smiled naturally, "You don't know that I am for you at all. What did you give up?"

Ewing asked, "What do you want?"

"I want you to show your talent, is this enough?" Louie held a Coke in one hand and a bag of cheese beans in the other, making him seem unserious and unconvincing, "I want you to be the best center in the league. , what do you think of this reason? I want you to recover the wasted three years, what do you think?"

"I haven't wasted three years!"

"Don't fart with me!" Louie seemed to switch back to the state in the Blue Palace, "Your defensive position is like an idiot, every shot outside the paint area is like a goalkeeper with a major mistake, and you His card position is the worst I've ever seen in an insider!"

"You can't get into positions, you can't pick positions, you have a lot of defensive moves, you will be called a lot of fouls when the season starts, you need to gain weight, and many bad things need to be corrected, but you are not young anymore, you know? You are 22 this year. Years old, how many 22-year-old centers have you seen with so much of your foulness?"

Ewing asked angrily, "Are all the big guys over 22 in the league better than me?"

"No, even if you have so many faults that I can't bear it, you are good enough to win 98% of centers."

"But I gave you the first salary in the league!" Louie asked. "If you can't beat everyone, why do you get paid so much? If you're as bad as a high school student, why does New York think you can? Bring them back to the 70s? Why do you?"

Ewing was silent.

"I'm targeting you, not you as a person, but the things you didn't fix in school. You thought I was humiliating you by saying you wasted time in school, but I didn't. You were in college for four years. , but there are so many questions left, what did you do in college? Did you not work hard? Is there a problem with your intelligence? Your brain is flooded? Or are you **** lazy?"

"I do not have!"

"Since you're the fuckin' okay, who the **** can I blame John Thompson?"

Ewing could not refute, it was difficult to respond.

Louie walked over to Ewing.

He could never have imagined that this Asian man, who was only 1.9 meters tall, would put so much pressure on him.

"Everything I do is to make you better. If you feel that my words hurt you and my attitude is unacceptable to you, it means that I am right." Louis said seriously, "I am This is how you get rid of the strawberries that John Thompson's **** planted on you."

Ewing couldn't help but say, "You have to stop insulting my coach!"

"QNMD! Now I'm your coach!"

Ewing said angrily: "My coach will never say 'QNMD' to me!"

Louie smiled, looking delighted: "I'm honored to be the first."

Ewing had nothing to say, and he couldn't refute Louie's accusations against Thompson.

This did not affect his respect for Thompson, whose wisdom and life experience played an important role during a pivotal period in his worldview.

For Ewing, John Thompson was his second dad.

Seeing Ewing not speaking, Louie approached him and said: "I hope you understand that as the head coach of the Knicks, there is no one in this world who wants you to be a great player more than I do. You have great talent, even if it's wasted. There is also a great chance to catch up with Akim and Ralph in three years, but you need to continue to be humble, if one day you feel that you can't stand me anymore and want to reject my coaching, I hope you apply upwards. The form of transaction to convey this message.”

"At that point, I'll have everything you need. No matter which team you want to go to, I'll send you there, I promise."

"Before you can bear it, bear with me, Patrick."

Louis touched Ewing lightly with his right hand: "As for this time, you don't have to be too nervous about me, I'm still a good person to communicate with, if you know me better... you may not know me Only two years older than you, you can even call me brother."

"No way!" Ewing asserted.

"Don't be so sure, although our relationship is normal now..."

Ewing interrupted to emphasize: "It's very ordinary."

"But in the future we might be very good friends, like I did with Larry in Boston, he hated being called a hillbilly the most in his life, but he allowed me to call him that, what does that mean? He treated me like a buddy , I believe that if there is a war, he will stop the bullet for me." Louis said affectionately, "Maybe one day, we can be so good, and you may even allow me to call you the one that starts with N like a black man. word."

Ewing sneered: "You should die, it's impossible!"

Louie is a negotiator and a communications expert.

In the previous life, he entered the professional basketball circle with a three-inch tongue, and only then could he see that he had considerable talent.

Although he humiliated Ewing for a week at the Blue Palace, he still used a brief time to mend his relationship with Ewing.

When he walked back to the Blue Palace, more than half of the people thought he had another fight with Ewing.

"Why are you still in the mood to eat this?" Tomjanovich was a little worried. "Is the problem solved?"

Louie fed a cheese bean into Tomjanovich's mouth.

"Don't worry, Rudy, do you think I look like the kind of person who throws a party before winning?" Louie said arrogantly, "Little Ewing, I'll take care of it in a few words!"

Only then did Phil Jackson discover that the master of mediation in the Knicks was not him, but Louie.

In the first ten days of training camp, Louie did not scold Ewing for only one day.

As we all know, that was the first day.

For the remaining nine days, as long as Ewing and Louie were on the court, both were in a state of anger.

Louis sprayed Ewing furiously, causing the latter to get angry, but he didn't dare to be disobedient, so his anger was spilled on the innocent Oakley, A.C. Green, Antoine Carr and Ball.

Ball developed a sense of humor that was as outstanding as his height.

He took a nickname for Ewing, and it was a homophonic stalk.

He is called Ewing "Youwin" because every time Ewing beats him, he is as brutal as Zhou Qi when O'Neal beat the ribs.

Bol shouted like he was belly-rolling: "Youwin! (You win) Youwin! (You win) Youwin!! (You **** win) Youwin!! (You win, stop

The specific meaning of Youwin needs to be judged according to Bohr's situation and tone.

With media days a few days away, Louie decided to cut his training time by half an hour each day.

Ball praised Louie as "G.O.A.T" in his uncontrollable accent.

Ewing rarely held everyone to speak.

"My family's Jamaica restaurant opened these days at 33 Madison Avenue 6th Street." Ewing said cheerfully, "If you come to eat here, you can order free."

Bohr excitedly called Ewing a rich man.

"Patrick, Manute is implying that you look like an orangutan." Louis asked indifferently.

Ewing was furious and said to Louis, "Only you will not be exempted!"

"It's alright, there will be a media meeting in a few days. If I go to your restaurant and have to pay for dinner, I will probably say something unnecessary in front of the reporters that will have bad consequences for your personal image. ..."

If that's not a threat.

"Coach, my coach, Patrick was joking with you," Weber said with high emotional intelligence.

Louie said displeasedly, "Potato, is Patrick your name?"

"Then...what's my name? King Kong, the richest man?"

"So why bother? You can just call him a gorilla, and you're all black. It's not racist." Only in the 1980s could Louis make such a joke casually.

Weber asked, "Is it okay?"

Ewing immediately regarded Webber, who was kind and rounded up, as Louis's accomplice: "You can't be exempt from orders in our store!"

Webb suddenly played the upper body: "The annual salary of 3 million is so much more than the annual salary of 100,000 like me~www.readwn.com~ Will this world still be good?"

Louis almost believed it after reading it.

Before Ewing could take back that sentence, Louie broke the atmosphere inappropriately: "Potato, if you're half as good as your acting skills at feinting on the court, I'll definitely let you start."

"Really?" Webb's delighted affirmative question lets Ewing know he's been tricked again.

"!##...￥%&"

No one understood what he was scolding, probably in Jamaican.

It's a very special team, with the orangutans, the scrawny 7-footers, and the little potato but rocky freaks... There's a reason the Knicks are called the zoo team.

How to lead them forward is Louis's main subject.

It can be found that, except for the newcomers, most of the "old people" who played in the team last season were silent.

Because, this Louie makes them feel very strange, different from last season.
