The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 589: The Battle of the Century Off the Field

"I can't make that decision."

Louis looked at the list and shook his head.

He picked up Charles Oakley's player card, and then John Salley's player card.

"Nine of us are unshakable," Louie said.

"It is almost certain that the team with the first choice will select Dell." Zhao Yuanzheng frowned and said, "For the second choice after that, it is foreseeable that we will lose another player. In fact Our choice is between Koop and John."

Song Tao and Brad Rohos are unattractive, Stevens is a pure defensive player, and the selection is not very useful.

So the other team must be Selly and Cooper.

Cooper had one more shot last season, but he's getting older and it's almost certain that Selley will be drafted before him.

Unless, activate the emergency plan.

Some teams will give each other a little compensation by trading, so that they don't take someone away.

Expanding a team is generally not difficult, ask for a little benefit and skip it.

But the allure of the Knicks players is too great, does it really make sense?

Louis hesitated.

The value of John Salley is not only an insider who can serve as a murder pressing lineup, but also his versatile attributes and willingness to sacrifice.

A 210 cm inside line, can run and jump well, can adapt to fast-paced running and shooting, slow-paced hand-to-hand combat, likes to laugh but starts ruthlessly.

As long as the Knicks don't change the way they play, a player like Salley has value.

Cooper's level is higher, but there may be a sharp decline at any time. Among the veterans in the 1980s, only Abdul-Jabbar remained at a high level in his later years, and the others were all avalanches.

So the Knicks have to keep John Salley.

"Road, is it that difficult?"

Tomjanovich, this heartless guy, doesn't know how entangled Louis is.

"It's hard!" Louis said tangled, "It's like two peerless beauties lay naked in front of me, which one do you think I should go to first?"

Tomjanovich said of course: "Is there a choice? If they have no opinion, they can be together. How pleasant is the threesome?"

"To say such a vulgar language." Zhao Yuanzheng said innocently, "Can you control me in front of this little virgin?"

This shocked Louis.

"No, you've been in America for so many years, and you're still a baby?"

"Yes, the original export, such as fake replacement."

Louis didn't want to ruin Zhao Yuanzheng, but the doctor made it clear that whether men or women, suppressing their desires for a long time is not good for the body and mind.

"You'd better go out and walk with Patrick and the others." Louie knew that Ewing was wild.

However, Zhao Yuanzheng made up his mind to leave his first time in the bridal chamber Flower Candle Night, he was so pure.

"Alas, what a bummer." Louis no longer cared about Zhao Yuanzheng's virginity. "Even if you keep them this year, there will be two expansion teams next year. Damn, what's the point of expanding so many teams? Does America have that much talent? ⑴"

This matter is not something that Louis and the others can decide, so they can only complain a few words.

"Forget it, let's wait until the coin toss is over."

The selection order of the expansion draft is determined by the result of the coin toss.

The league wants to attract old fans this way.

Louie has no interest in it, and they already know that the team with the first-choice opportunity is bound to pick Dale Ellis.

Therefore, when the time comes, you only need to get the second-selected team, and the big deal will be the draft right.

This is a disguised protection fee.

Give them draft picks in exchange for their tacit agreement not to pick XX.

The league also agrees that teams use this method to retain their own players. As long as it is negotiated, there are some loopholes that can be exploited.

"Today was tough."

After a busy day, Louis invited the teaching assistants to eat at a restaurant two kilometers away from the Blue Palace.

"Coach Lu, have you decided who to give up?" asked Sharif, the shooting coach.

"It's too ugly to say that you give up." Louis corrected Sharif's low emotional intelligence statement, "This is forced to give up."

"Then who did you decide to give up?"

Louie shrugged: "It depends on Miami and Charlotte."

Basically, two of the three Dale Ellis, Michael Cooper, and John Salley.

After a while, they stopped talking about work.

One who subscribed to Sports Illustrated said: "I feel like Michael Spinks' daughter is right that he shouldn't have fought Tyson. Tyson will kill him!"

who said this, yes

Knicks interior coach Truger Robinson.

They're talking about the battle of the century between Michael Spinks and Michael Tyson on June 27.

Louie doesn't know boxing, but he's heard the name Tyson.

This is proof that American pop culture radiates around the world.

When it comes to basketball, you think of Jordan. When it comes to boxing, Tyson and Ali come to mind.

Louie didn't know when Tyson's weakness started, so he thought that Tyson, who was still at his peak at this time, had no reason to lose, so he thought that Tyson would win the game.

"You are wrong, Spinks is different from the dolls Tyson met before. Who is not an undefeated boxing champion!" Tomjanovich firmly supported Spinks.

Robinson said dismissively: "If he really had the bottom line, he wouldn't have refused to fight Tyson a few years ago!"

"So, he's back, he'll prove himself!"

Tomjanovich believes that Tyson is a bubble, a **** deliberately created by the media, and not an opponent of Spinks at all.

Louie took the Sports Illustrated article that Sharif had read.

Found out that the article was a letter from Spinks himself to his daughter.

At the beginning, he quotes a conversation he had with his daughter, so Sharif would say Spinks' daughter was right.

""Dad, please, don't fight Tyson. "

"Why do you say that, baby?"

"He'll knock you out, Dad."

"But I could also knock him out."

"He's going to hit you hard, Dad."

"He might. But it might also be me hitting him hard."

"dad..."

"Sherry, don't tell me this, it's not right. Just pray I don't get hurt. Just pray."

Louie felt like Spinks knew he was going to be smashed after reading this passage.

He asked his daughter to pray for him.

In fact, the title of this article is "Pray for me, baby."

Isn't this ominous omen obvious enough?

Afterwards, Spinks put all kinds of cruel words in this article softly, which looked very encouraging, but there was a sense of heroic sacrifice between the lines of "I may not be able to fight, but I will fight".

Spinks repeated at the end of the article: "Pray for me, baby, just pray."

"What are the odds for this match?" Louie asked left and right.

Zhao Yuanzheng said: "The odds of Tyson winning is plus 300."

That is, you need to bet $300 on Tyson to make money.

Instead, betting on Spinks pays even more.

But Louie, a traveler, doesn't believe that Tyson will lose to anyone at his peak, especially when his opponent is a guy who wrote a letter to his daughter in the name of "Sports Illustrated" before the fight, "Baby, pray Daddy won't be beaten by Tyson. Kill the guy who wrote the letter.

No~www.readwn.com~ Louis thinks, whether he is a traveler or not, even if he really doesn't know anything, as long as he sees this letter, Spinks will be out of the game for him.

Tyson will win, and he will win beautifully.

Then when Louie bet, Spinks would win.

He paid $500... at minus three hundred.

It pays 300 to 1. If Spinks wins, he will also make a small profit. If he loses, his judgment is correct, and the loss will be 500.

No matter what, he wins, and Louis wins.

Hearing that Louie bet Spinks to win Tyson, Tomjanovich was so excited that he took out $3,000 to follow a bet.

Louie's expression is strange, he knows that Tomjanovich is really supporting Spinks, and he is just taking conservative measures to prevent accidents...

"Well, Rudy, come to my house for dinner on the night of the game, we happened to watch the game together."

"Okay, I'm worried that no one will watch with me!"

⑴The league expanded six teams in the years 1988-1995. The influx of international players into the NBA is a new century. That is to say, before 2000, 29 teams had to rely on the United States to support them. The result can be imagined, there will be a lot of bad teams, weak teams. One thing I would never shy away from is that the overall competitiveness of the league was weak, very weak, during the Bulls' post-three-peat. The veterans in the 1970s have almost retired, and they are supported by the Pan-84 generation. Excessive expansion has led to the dilution of talent, so the winning teams of the strong teams in those years were very high. The last three consecutive Bulls created the best record in history at the time.
