The Rest, Only Noise

The latest website: After a 5-0 start, the Knicks returned to New York after their first road trip of the new season.

On November 12, the Knicks' special plane arrived at the New York airport, and reporters flocked to it.

Wilson, Ewing, McHale, Rodman, Miller… they all became big stars.

Wilson is the most popular one.

Reporters like him, and he likes reporters.

Ewing, who should have achieved the same level of popularity as Wilson, has become a player representative who does not like the media together with John Stockton.

Ewing's and Stockton's faces will show palpable impatience if the media is chasing the interview.

If a reporter asks a question that upsets Ewing, like this one—

"Patrick, where do you think the gap between you and the great insiders like Kareem, Ralph, Russell, Wilt?"

If it is a normal star player, if you hear reporters talking about so many big guys in the same position in front of you, you can be humble or pretend to be polite, and express yourself that you are not as good as you, and then use better performance in the game to impress the fans I found the feeling of "this person is not bad, he is too humble".

In the field of competitive sports, the undisputed strength mainly comes from the recognition of the outside world, and it is not enough to rely on bragging.

Louie didn't expect that Ewing did that today: "I'm the FMVP, and I'm no worse than them."

"Is there really no difference at all?"

The reporter who deliberately asked the question deliberately continued.

"Next question," Ewing said nonchalantly.

The most speechless thing is that when the same question was asked Wilson, he was far more mature than Ewing.

"Larry is something I need to catch up with to get there, and as long as I'm still playing, I'll follow his example."

Even if Wilson had no respect for Bird on the court, he gave the opponent enough face off the court.

McHale was hilarious, Rodman was a lunatic who liked to babble on his own accord, and Stockton didn't want any reporter to dig up the slightest bit of scoop on him.

When all the interviews were over, Louie got on the team bus.

Suddenly, Wilson said under the bus, "Coach, can I take my own car?"

Hearing this, Louis had no other idea.

"be careful."

Then Ewing came along, trying to look like he wasn't showing off: "I just bought a new car, and I want to try the performance."

"Go."

Then there were McHale, Miller, Rodman, Hornacek, John Salley.

Of the fifteen people on the Knicks roster, twelve left the airport in their luxury cars.

"They all seem to have bought new cars."

Zhao Yuanzheng said.

The three who did not follow suit were Alex Stevens, Brad Rohos and Song Tao.

Stevens doesn't like the limelight, Rohos doesn't like cars, Song Tao is purely based on his own income, and the psychology of comparison has not risen to this level.

"Who bought the car first?" Louis asked.

Tomjanovich knows the gossip well: "Patrick, he was very flamboyant when training camp started."

Louie asked with a smile, "Then who started to follow suit?"

"Looks like BenJ."

"And then it got out of hand?"

"That's right."

Louie doesn't mind the media making the players big stars.

This is an inevitable phenomenon after the fortune of the New York sports team.

Any professional club in a media-rich city cannot escape the end of being praised by its own family.

The longer he stayed here in New York, the more Louie knew just how influential a New York team was in winning an NBA title.

The Knicks' two championships from 1970 to 1973 had a far greater impact on the professionalization and commercialization of the league than the Celtics' 11 championships in 13 years.

However, Louis didn't want them to return to the home court every time, the players in the team would be like big stars and someone would drive a luxury car to the airport to pick him up.

Although they took their own car at the airport, it was no different from taking the team bus to a fixed location together.

However, this is like the training of any national sports team in the country in the future, and the mobile phones of the training members will not be collected.

If you don’t take your mobile phone, there will be no communication with each other, and everyone will be a bower, which is not conducive to the cultivation of team tacit understanding and personal friendship.

Like the Knicks, the phenomenon of asking people to drive a luxury car to the airport to pick up themselves is even more exaggerated.

"Let's go ahead and have a meeting at the Blue Palace tomorrow half an hour earlier."

Louis decided to use the power of the "authority dog" to forcibly stop this evil spirit.

"Are you trying to stop them?" Tomjanovich saw Louis's thoughts.

"While I'm not a big fan of the patriarchal style of management, I have to say that this approach is the most effective."

When Louis came home, the two children were naughty.

Lu Wuxia played basketball all over the house. Although Louis had not seen any talent for basketball in him, he was happy when he saw that his son was willing to play basketball.

This means that he has the opportunity to inherit his own business in the future.

The daughter is much more difficult to handle. Her mood is unpredictable. She will suddenly play crazy, suddenly laugh, suddenly cry, suddenly sleepy, and suddenly does not like her father.

She doesn't like Dad today.

Louis wanted to pick up his daughter and have a good time, but she reacted violently and obviously didn't want to play with her father.

"Who told you to work outside all day, she doesn't know you anymore."

Li Xuanbing picked up his granddaughter and scolded his son.

"Mom, I don't agree with this. I still go home very often, and I can make Wuyan laugh at any time."

"Then you try now?"

Louie's grimacing efforts seemed to backfire.

Lu Wuyan burst into tears. Lorraine was not at home. Grandma's nursery rhymes seemed to be limited by her granddaughter's comprehension ability and couldn't work. Louie's grimace didn't work either.

A little girl over two years old stumped her dad and grandma.

Later, she smiled inexplicably again, expressing interest in the plane in the sky.

Louie confirmed once again that a child's joys, sorrows, and sorrows are like Kobe who knocked off the pass key, and there is no logic at all.

The next afternoon, the Knicks will play the Washington Bullets at home tonight for the second time this season.

Due to the obvious gap in strength between the two teams, this is a game that is impossible to lose as long as the Knicks don't want to lose.

Louis deliberately chose the afternoon to set the rules.

The Blue Palace is a three-storey multi-purpose stadium.

The ground floor houses the court, gym and restaurant.

The second floor is the core area, where the review room, conference room, warehouse, convalescence area, infirmary, operation department, and scouting department are located.

On matchdays, Louie usually has players gather in the review room.

If the opponent is not strong, maybe there will be no meeting.

Is the Bullets team strong? The answer is obvious.

"Which of you did something wrong, you'd better take the initiative to explain it later. One person is wrong and the other person is to blame. Don't implicate everyone."

John Stockton instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Don't worry about John, what could be wrong? I think if there is something, it must be Dennis who caused trouble in the nightclub again..."

McHale opened his mouth and directed the disaster to Rodman, who was feigning death.

Rodman immediately denied: "I haven't caused trouble recently. If you don't believe me, ask Alex."

The network within the Knicks is complicated.

Mainly divided into two factions Ewing and Wilson.

No one can support both Ewing and Wilson, only one of them can stand. In addition to these two people, the interaction between players mainly pays attention to a congenial taste.

The teammate closest to Rodman is Alex Stevens.

So when Rodman pushed Stevens out, everyone wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Dennis has been really good lately, like a baby." Stevens laughed.

Suddenly, Louis appeared.

"Alex, if you have children, you know that it is very inappropriate to put children and the word 'duty' together." Louis walked in easily, "This is the most popular word since the birth of 'duty'. Offended once."

After Louie appeared, the players stopped talking.

Another phenomenon in the review room convinced the players that there was no review today.

If there is a replay, other than Louie, the rest of the coaching staff will also show up. Coach Lu is a notoriously lazy dog. Almost everything needs a teaching assistant to help him, and he just needs to stand in front of everyone and speak.

The players agreed that this is why Coach Lu developed a small belly.

This guy is too lazy.

"Actually, there is no major event today, so don't be nervous."

The smirk on McHale's face represented the mood of the group.

no big deal? Everyone who has been on a plane knows that the most frightening time is when the captain informs that everything is normal after the plane is bumpy. Don't be afraid, but don't tell the reason.

"It's not a big deal. After I finish speaking, you nod your head in agreement and you can leave."

"What if you don't agree?" Ewing asked sternly.

Looking at his imitation, you can see that he is acting in his true colors in front of reporters, and it is not intentional to make people hate him.

"Listen to me first."

Louie didn't mind Ewing's sloppy questions.

and goes on to say:

"Yesterday when we returned to New York~www.readwn.com~ I saw that many of you had already asked people to wait outside the airport in luxury cars in advance." Louis smiled lightly, "I have to say your car It’s beautiful, but starting today, no matter who it is, as long as the team takes a special plane back to New York, they have to take the bus with the team back to the designated location before leaving.”

Louie said without question: "The airport is not a place for you to put on a show. Leaving by bus means leaving the public eye on behalf of us as a team. This is an important process."

Ewing protested slightly: "This matter should be voted on... We are a democracy..."

"Of course, there are sixteen people here, each of you has one vote, and I have 100 votes."

"Why do you get one hundred votes for one vote?" Ewing expressed his dissatisfaction again.

"Because I'm the **** president of the Knicks, I have the right to vote on behalf of everyone in the operations department, any opinions? This is what you said, democratic voting, am I democratic enough?"

As of today, the word democracy is dead on the Knicks team.
