The Rest, Only Noise

After returning from the interview, Louie glared at Ewing.

"What's wrong?"

Ewing asked curiously.

"What's the matter? You asked me?" Louis said angrily, "What did you ask me? What happened to you just now?"

Ewing was even more puzzled: "I'm fine."

"You're fine? What are you talking about? You've been given a stage. Can't you use your black sense of humor?"

"Why do you think black people must have a sense of humor?" Ewing complained. "You are racially biased."

"Don't give me a **** racial hat, I won't eat yours!"

"Doesn't racism exist?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Louie said angrily, "Any black man in America can say he lives under systemic discrimination, but you, an immigrant black man from Jamaica, you don't have the right to say that. You have been in high school since high school. With the attention of the United States, who doesn't treat you like a treasure, and who dares to discriminate against you? Where did you come from these bitter hatreds and the media?"

Ewing has no reason to say this.

"I...I'm just not used to being around them."

"Then change it for Lao Tzu, you big stick!"

"I'm changing, you have to give me some time."

"I don't have so much time for you, next time you put on a mourning expression for me to answer the microphone, I...I..." Louie was embarrassed to find that he had nothing to threaten Ewing, "I Do you want you to look good?"

Louis finished his threats with insufficient confidence, and went into the locker room breathlessly.

Ewing looked at Stockton, who was smirking, and Ellis, who was blank, and Stevens, who didn't know how to react.

"Did he take gunpowder?" Ewing asked.

Ellis suddenly said: "Isn't the coach like this every day?"

"Yes, coach every day." Stockton, who had never been hurt by Louie's passion, agreed with a nod. "I can testify."

Originally, Stockton was also a media shy person.

He's a Bird-like being and doesn't like the media.

However, it was different when he attended the press conference with Ellis and Ewing.

Both of them are the nemesis of the media.

When Ewing was interviewed by the media, he always regarded the other party as an enemy that must be defeated. He carefully guarded his city fortress. He didn't say a word of superfluous words. attitude of vigilance.

Like Ewing, the media will blackmail it if it's a big deal.

Ellis has nothing to do with him. He always has a constipated expression, coupled with a sullen tone that may burp at any time, he has successfully created an aura that no one likes, and no one wants to approach.

With these two wonderful people, Stockton's shyness has almost become a cute point in the eyes of the media.

There was no sign of Louie on the Knicks bus back to the hotel, and he had another appointment.

Jennifer Beals treats him to a snack.

It just so happened that Louis was a little hungry, so he came.

"Am I late?" Louis asked.

Jennifer was surprised that Louis realized this, and asked a question: "Coach Lu, when do you think you were on time?"

"Sorry, I'm **** off by my team, that dog..."

Louie thinks that Ewing is more like a cross between an orangutan and a human than a dog bastard, but the bastard's bark is too convoluted, right? And the taste of racism is too heavy. What's more, shouting any X **** in front of a lady is very bad behavior.

"What happened to your players? Didn't they play well tonight?" Jennifer said angrily, "Breaking out my favorite Lakers!"

Louie sat down, not expecting her to like the Lakers so much.

"What's so good about the Lakers?"

"It's highly ornamental, isn't that enough?"

"Okay, that's a reason, but if they keep losing the finals, is it worth watching?" Louie asked rhetorically.

Jennifer laughed: "So, if you can pick Benj, I'll support the Knicks."

"It's too early to say, let's order first."

After ordering, Jennifer turned the subject back.

"what happened?"

Louie talked about Ewing's performance in front of the media.

When Louie doubles down on Ewing's ugliness with a bit of a fan, Jennifer loses her ladylike image and bursts out laughing.

Fortunately, in Louis' eyes, she was never close to a lady.

"Why do you have this kind of trouble?" Jennifer thought that NBA players just play.

"If he's playing in Cleveland, Utah, that's irrelevant," Louie said with a wry smile, "but he's playing in New York, you know the New York media, and I remember what they said about your game last year. The movie is called The Bride, isn't it?"

"stop!"

Jennifer covered her ears.

"I don't want to hear it again."

"So, you also know the strength of those people."

Jennifer asked, "Is it really that serious?"

"If he continues like this, when the media can't bear him anymore, it will be more serious than he imagined." Louis found that he had to worry too much.

Ewing's weight, Ewing's strength, Ewing's card position habits, Ewing's defensive position, Ewing's foul problems... Why, why are you all?

Why can't there be a player like Olajuwon, who is basically a complete player except for playing alone and disgusting teammates?

Otherwise, a finished product with serious character flaws like Larry Bird is "barely" acceptable.

"I think he's just too nervous, it's not necessarily that he doesn't like the media," Jennifer analyzed.

Louis asked, "How?"

"How does he behave in private interviews?"

"I didn't notice that, oh, it's quite normal for him to be in front of our team reporters."

"That's right, he hasn't learned how to relax in front of the media. Once he can't relax, he will talk nonsense under the pressure, and even say some uncomfortable things, which is normal." Jennifer Asked with a smile, "Do you want me to help you teach Patrick a few lessons?"

"you?"

Louis looked at her suspiciously.

"Don't underestimate me. Correctly dealing with the pressure of the media is a compulsory course for actors."

"Uh...then how did you deal with the media's treatment of your last year's movie..."

"Shut up! I'm not listening!" Jennifer covered her ears and continued, "Don't listen, don't listen!"

In fact, it's not so bad. The New York media just cut Jennifer's dozens of emotional scenes in the play into small photos to synthesize a large photo and put it in the newspaper. ?

The entertainment industry is unfair, and sometimes people can be the protagonists just by their looks.

Although Jennifer became popular in 1984 with low-budget movies, she needs the support of follow-up works if she wants to continue to be popular.

"Actually, I think you did a good job."

"Really?" Jennifer asked happily. "Did you see that?"

"It's just a little expressionless."

"Go to hell!"

"No, Patrick is still waiting for you to teach him."

"I can't, whoever falls in love with it!"

Louis accidentally lit the gunpowder, and it took a lot of effort to coax it.

Jennifer promised to give Ewing a few public relations classes, but it depends on the time and mood. Ewing has no choice. When she decides, it has to be when.

Louie is an enlightened coach, but this matter is not negotiable, he agreed for Ewing.

Louis ate a fairly pleasant late-night snack, and called a taxi back to the hotel.

On the way, he stopped thinking about Ewing.

He was thinking about tonight's game, the full court press that helped them seal the win.

Looking at it now, that must have been a good one.

However, until they seriously develop a system of full court pressing, this tactic can no longer be used lightly.

The problem of their full-court pressing was seen by Magic on the spot. If Stevens was not working hard enough, and the Lakers were a little confused except Magic, there would never be a good result.

But this game also made Louis see the value of pressing the whole court.

Full-court pressing is a must-have skill if he wants to build a defensively strong team.

He has an idea now, but still needs to find an expert.

Back at the hotel, he carefully rummaged through the memo, and finally found the person's contact information.

Louie didn't know if it was appropriate to hit this point.

He decided to try his luck, and if he disturbed someone's rest...it was never too late to apologize.

The phone beeped a few times, but fortunately, the other party answered the call.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Rick, remember me?" Louis introduced himself, "I'm..."

On the other end of the phone, Rick Pitino, the current head coach of Providence University's men's basketball team, asked unexpectedly, "Lu, why are you calling me so late?"

Louie didn't cockily ask Pitino if he was watching tonight's game.

He briefly said the game between the Knicks and the Lakers, and the focus was on the full-court pressing at the beginning and end of the fourth quarter.

"Beautiful, wonderful tactical victory~www.readwn.com~ Pitino laughed, "Congratulations, Coach Lu. "

"Rick, this game has given me a lot of inspiration, and I want to ask you a question about this."

"you say."

"If I pick five of the right players for full-court pressing, and then put them all on at some point in the game, do you think it would work?"

Pitino was silent.

"Rick?"

"Coach Lu, I really suspect that you sneaked into my mind and stole my ideas." Pitino said excitedly, "I was about to do this, you know, the talent pool in college is lower, senior players It has a confrontational advantage for the younger players, and the full-court pressing is more lethal."

"It's too coincidental. Why don't you test this tactic in college basketball, and I test this tactic in the NBA. We can communicate regularly and find out each other's strengths and weaknesses."

Pitino was clearly more excited than Louie.

"Great! I've been studying full-court pressing and half-court pressing, but no one can exchange experience... Coach Lu, I am willing to cooperate with you!"
