The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 614: The Destroyed Indiana Professional Basketball

Louis was forced to get involved.

It's a publicity campaign about D.C.

This D.C is the company you think of that serializes superhero comics. They were doing a poll recently.

Readers are asked to vote to decide whether Batman lives or dies in the latest issue.

Louie doesn't read comics, and his children haven't reached the age to understand comics, so he voted because he stumbled upon Wilson's call for "live votes".

Because of Wilson, the entire Knicks team except Louie voted "Let him live."

Only Louis, who voted "don't let him live".

He didn't want to oppose Wilson, he just knew very well that this was the company's routine. Anyway, whether Batman is dead or alive, as one of the most popular characters in superhero comics, death is definitely not dead.

Moreover, the voting event brought back memories from a long time ago. He was a fan of "Love Apartment" for a while before he crossed over. The infamous plagiarism and stitching drama left a huge suspense at the end of its second season. The crew let the audience decide whether Brother Zeng left the love apartment with 1 million yuan or gave up 1 million yuan for love and friendship.

Although Louis still couldn't figure out what the 1 million had to do with leaving or not. In Shanghai in 2010, what could 1 million do, but he voted to let Brother Zeng go. I just want to know what will happen to Brother Zeng, who is like Jerusalem to the West when he leaves. As a result, although Brother Zeng took 1 million people to leave, he did not leave completely. Because the writers always have a way to get him back.

So Louie voted for Batman to die.

The final vote was a majority in favor of Batman's death.

This is one of the things that Louis is impressed by this year in addition to winning the championship.

The other thing is that Wayne Gretzky was traded to Los Angeles. An eye-popping deal, called the largest deal in NHL history.

The all-time best was traded at its peak, covering multiple players, draft picks and $15 million in cash.

Although there are many trifles, Louis's progress has never stopped.

The Knicks are starting the new season with high expectations from the outside world.

After two consecutive victories, they faced the Chicago Bulls at home.

Dennis Johnson left in the offseason, along with Barkley slowly entering his prime, turned the Bulls into a team worthy of attention.

However, the Knicks' defense gave the Bulls 20 turnovers.

Wilson scored 18 points on the counterattack alone, easily scored 32 points, and led the team to slaughter the Bulls 121-80 with 41 points.

"It's not difficult," Louie said with a relaxed face. "We plan to end the November schedule with a complete victory."

Everyone found that the frivolous Louis in 1984 came back.

The next game is on the road, they come to Washington, the other side's lineup, with former New York king Bernard King.

Louis deliberately let Rodman replace Miller's starting, to mark gold.

As a result, his defense is in place.

In the face of King's offense, Rodman's defense was tight, controlling all possible problems.

Bullets head coach and veteran Bullets player Wes Unseld said distressedly: "We don't have an answer on how to limit the Knicks. In turn, the Knicks have an answer for us."

Last year, when Unseld and Bill Russell took over at the same time, there was a lot of discussion.

After all, when these two were players, they were both team-oriented, with good football quotient and leadership, and they were definitely not bad as coaches.

But Russell already had a failed coaching experience in the 1970s.

This time, together with Unseld, he has once again proved that the current alliance is not the one they are galloping around.

Unseld's Bullets were beaten by the Knicks, and Louie held a 34-point advantage and said to his senior: "Sorry, I just wanted to win by 20 points at first."

"Don't be too arrogant, young man, the regular season is very long." Unseld could only leave the court with a ruthless remark.

On Singles Day in 1988, the Knicks ushered in another battle of the spotlight.

A game against the Indiana Pacers.

If it's the Pacers before this year, it probably won't get much attention.

But now they have Danny Manning, the No. 1 overall pick in the 1988 draft.

Unbeknownst to Louie, because of the butterfly effect caused by his arrival, Manning was not thrown into the rookie **** of the Los Angeles Clippers, but instead went to the Pacers who were more professional and smarter in every way.

Therefore, the genius who fell into basketball **** in Louie's previous life may not necessarily fall in Indiana.

In several games so far this season, Manning has played like a small forward, averaging 18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

CBS rarely broadcasts the games of weak teams, which is one of their conflicts with the league.

The league doesn't want CBS to always broadcast the top contenders while ignoring the equally important underdogs. For CBS, which regards ratings as more important than life, a strong team is the guarantee of ratings.

The Knicks are the top team in the league, and most of their games are broadcast live.

Today's game against the Pacers was their most brutal game since the start of the new season.

The Pacers were coached by Jack Ramsey, the Blazers' meritorious coach and one of the veteran coaches that Louie once respected.

But more and more news broke that Louie played a key role in the Blazers' 1984 draft selection of Jordan, much to Ramsay's ire. Even though the Blazers' choice has been proven correct—Jordan takes off, Bowie falls—Louis doing that is grossly interfering in his team's internal affairs, breaking the rules, and stretching his hand too far.

Ramsay therefore told reporters: "I respect most of the teams, except for New York, because their coach is a spoiled brat."

The thing is, Louie doesn't see himself as spoiled.

He suggested that the Blazers chose Jordan because they wanted to repay Larry Weinberg's favor, and by the way, play the role of a traveler - change a piece of history for fun.

Ramsey's focus on his meddling in the Blazers' internal affairs, regardless of how he avoided the Blazers from being nailed to the pillar of shame, cost Louie all respect for him.

On the night of the game, Louie asked the players to fire at full force.

Wilson and Ewing responded to the call and scored 26 points in the first quarter, while others scored 7.

33-18 start.

Danny Manning's confrontation is at a disadvantage, and he is completely unable to adapt to the Knicks' hand-to-hand tactics.

The proud No. 1 pick wants to earn dignity for his team, but some dignity is not earned by determination or whatever.

Manning fell to the ground seven times.

The sixth time, he injured his ankle, and the seventh time, he was carried out on a stretcher.

"Slick" Leonard, legendary Pacers commentator: "The Knicks are as rude as a primitive!"

Neither Leonard nor the Indiana expected that Anning would end up injured, but it was a small thing they had to experience tonight.

Reggie Miller, who was supposed to be wearing a Pacers jersey, is now a true Nick.

He also listened to what Louis said.

Moreover, Louis has a special bad taste, and likes to watch this group of people kill the owner of his previous life.

After Miller's three-point opening, Louie ordered the players to run tactics and make the ball for him.

Entering the second season of his career, Miller began to show killer instincts.

The amazing shooting touch allows him to quickly hit the second ball when he hits the first ball.

In Louie's previous life, Miller's record for three-pointers in a game was eight. Moreover, similar performances, he only brought two games. This does not mean that there is a gap between him and the future small-ball era shooters who will score seven or eight three-pointers at every turn.

Because the focus of the tactics is different.

The shooter in the small-ball era only shot three-pointers, while Miller in the Pacers era was only a main means, but not the only means. Don’t forget, he is the only off-ball shooter in history as the core of the team.

In his 18-year career, he averaged 18 points per game, but only hit 1.8 three-pointers per game. Due to the limitations of the times, Miller's three-pointers did not shoot very much.

It can be said that his three-point power is somewhat limited by the times.

But under Louis, there was no such restriction.

Louie didn't intend to center on Miller, he wanted Miller to become his Klay Thompson.

Tonight, Miller granted Louie's wish.

Against the Pacers, he made 7 of 12 three-pointers from the outside, plus mid-range and rotation offense.

Miller scored a career-high 39 points.

From the second quarter, the game became the Knicks' show.

They take pleasure in slaughtering their opponents.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had a 50-point lead.

Pacers home half of the audience out.

Before the end of the fourth quarter, there were less than 1/5 of the fans left at the scene.

The whole game, 139 to 74, has not been such a **** game in the league for a long time.

The Pacers lost to the Knicks by a huge margin of 65 points.

Jack Ramsey pushed Louie away in the handshake after the game, roaring red-faced: "If you have any complaints, you should come at me, you should not humiliate my players!"

Louis spread his hands and said, "I used a 13-man rotation in this game. Even so, you still can't reduce the score. Why do you blame me? In my opinion, the only way to reduce the difference between you is to allow I play with three players or four players against five of you guys."

If you've ever wondered what the ultimate humiliation is, this is it.

Louie didn't do it deliberately, he just knew exactly how strong his team was.

That night, the dignity of professional basketball in Indiana was completely destroyed by him.

For a long time, it was difficult to look up.

Being beaten for 65 points at home is too ugly.

"Actually, it's nothing." The New York Times' wicked sports reporters wrote, "Leader Lu led the Celtics to an 81-point win in Dallas."
