The Rest, Only Noise

"Coach, you..." McHale hesitated, "you didn't tell me that before."

Louis was even more strange: "How did I tell you before?"

McHale explained aggrievedly: "When I first came, you thought I had a problem with my attitude, so you gave me the captain's armband. The armband has always been with me. Unless the Knicks have multiple captains' armbands, I will be the captain!"

Louis has been in this circle for eleven years, but he doesn't know that as long as the captain's armband is given out, unless he wants to come back, that person will always be the captain.

"Is that so?" Louis asked left and right.

Zhao Yuanzheng said awkwardly: "It seems so."

"Cough cough!"

Louie found out that he had made an own goal, and immediately said: "Of course I know that Kevin is our captain, I just mean... um... I mean Patrick is the captain of the Jamaica Stars, he As a captain, he should discipline his players well, he did a bit too much."

There is a saying that one step is wrong, and every step is wrong. It is the current coach of the road.

Ewing said incredulously: "When did he become my team member? The high school students are obviously from the giant shoulders team, Benj is the champion!"

Louis was a little embarrassed now.

He was furious at Wilson: "Benj, how did you become the captain? You asked Patrick to educate the players for you. What do you eat as a captain?"

Wilson said awkwardly: "Coach, Patrick and I have a different division of labor..."

"Why is the division of labor different, is this the excuse for not fulfilling your captain's duties?"

"It's not really..."

"Not what is not?"

The division of labor between Wilson and Ewing is clear.

Louis did not understand the tacit understanding of the players in private.

Because Ewing joined the team earlier than Wilson, in terms of seniority, only Stockton, Ainge, Bowie, and McHale can press him in the team.

However, Angie and Bowie are both veterans who joined in the middle of the past two years. Although McHale has been in the league for nearly ten years, he is also in New York in the same year as Wilson.

Therefore, only Stockton is really older than Ewing.

But Stockton didn't have the need to be the boss, and Ewing did.

The tacit understanding between Wilson and Ewing is that off the court, Ewing can use his standards to strictly demand his teammates, but on the court, he is always too focused and lacks leadership.

It is Wilson's task to infect his teammates through his own enthusiasm and to hold those who are left behind.

Although they didn't say anything, they distributed each other's work very tacitly, and there was no objection to this.

This is a tacit understanding that is not on the table. Louis definitely can't ask anything, so he can only get angry, take his embarrassment over, and then quickly disappear.

Oh, is Sean Camp still crying?

Cry, cry, young people have to accept some tests, otherwise how can they be entrusted with heavy responsibilities in the future.

It took about a week for the two rookies, Kemp and Doug West, to initially get used to the Knicks' training intensity.

Louis regards West as a new member of the murder pressing team. His physical fitness is great, but his skills are relatively rough. He is a weapon when he rotates counterattacks. If such a body does not practice defense, it would be a pity.

As a result, West joined the murder press team led by Wilson and Rodman right away.

His defensive skills were rebuilt, his role was reset, and everything about college basketball had nothing to do with him.

Because of Louie, West will be a very different player.

Bowie still doesn't participate in the competition. He can't bear this kind of intensity. Anyway, the 15 roster was just one more at the time of the draft, which just happened to remove Bowie. The Jamaica Star and the Wind of the Giant Shoulders have exactly 7 members on the roster. personal.

It will be about a week before Kemp will adjust to the environment of the Knicks' intra-team rivalry.

His adaptation is not a physical adaptation.

Every game he was mercilessly knocked over by the team's big brother.

His adaptation is spiritual adaptation, he is no longer afraid, and he will not cry when he mocks Ewing and others.

Dennis Dillon, the team's strength trainer, believes that Kemp will spend the next two years in the team's wrestling.

"He needs to lose a little weight, maybe 10 pounds, and then his athletic ability will be better than he is now, and then he will spend another two years adding 20 pounds of muscle in an orderly manner to strengthen his whole body." Dillon said, " At that point, he'll probably be able to use his talent on the pitch."

Louis watched Camp being brought down constantly, and what he thought was what would happen to him in actual combat?

The intensity of the Knicks' intra-team competition is stronger than the official game. If he can play at this intensity, it should not be a problem to play in the regular season.

"It's just... After Truk left, we didn't have a serious interior coach." Tomjanovich believes that an interior coach will be better for Kemp's development.

Louis smiled and said, "Aren't you?"

"Me?" Tomjanovich shook his head again and again, "I can't, I'm not an inside coach, and I have too many things to manage..."

Louie didn't know what else Rudy was doing besides presiding over the training every day.

But despite the many flaws in his words, the truth is correct.

Camp needs a true inside mentor.

"Expedition," Louis recalled his almighty Xiao Zhao, "help me draw up a list of interior players who are idle at home, even those who have retired for many years."

Zhao Yuanzheng asked: "Are there any requirements for their level?"

"A consistent starter or All-Star in the NBA while in service."

An all-star out of work at home? It basically had to be found in famous hotels.

No matter how many faults Kemp has, everyone can see the talent in him.

On the eighth day of training camp, Kemp completed a dunk that made Louie scream.

He gave Wilson a pick-and-roll and went down.

Wilson passed the ball, he got the ball, stepped directly outside the paint area and took off, trying to make a meteor-like dunk.

Ewing didn't want him to succeed, and jumped head on, ready to block.

As a result, Kemp even pulled the ball sideways with both hands in the air to avoid Ewing's body and then forcibly lifted the ball up for a dunk.

Not to mention his gliding distance, and his jumping height, just say his coordination in the air, his natural sense of coordination, and the moment he completes the dunk, it's like Tiandao Payne carrying a bag of rice to Konoha Village. An oversized spicy day stuff.

The kind of shock that blows people's scalp numb, only if they see it with their own eyes will they know.

This kid will be MSG's darling.

After that, Louis Jing waited for Zhao Yuanzheng's list.

It only took him half a day to give Louis the list.

The list includes Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Dave Cowens, Willis Reed...Reed?

Also, is Russell out of class?

Louie found a lot of his news lagging behind, especially Russell's departure.

Following his disappointment with professional basketball in the 1970s, this time, Russell, who made his comeback in the late 1980s, also failed to bring his success in the 1960s to the team.

Not only that, but he also gave the Knicks two first-round picks for Wayman Tisdale.

His reputation was ruined here, and no one would ask him to come out again.

Russell couldn't come to New York, Louis knew that.

Chamberlain? Not to mention his physical talent in the top five levels in human history, would he have the patience to teach an "ordinary man" like Xiao, even if he really did, what could he teach? What's so hard about playing basketball, just get 30+20 in any game? Get 50 points? Grandpa averaged 50 points a game that year! Is it hard to rebound? Lord can easily give you a 50 rebounds in a single game! What, if there are too many fouls, then don't defend and it's over. If you don't defend, can you still be fouled?

As for his technique, Louie doesn't think his 1960s skills were advanced in the 80s.

He is so talented that he doesn't need to be in position most of the time, and he uses his wingspan to pick melons when he is pushed behind him. Does inviting such a person to be Camp's development coach think that he has not been completely abolished in his previous life?

A bunch of Hall of Famers were kicked out by Louie, and the only thing he was tempted by was Willis Reed, a New York star.

Reed was one of the most respected players of his era, and at his peak, he was the league's best enforcer and bodyguard.

The core of the team is a bodyguard-style character? That's right~www.readwn.com~ His famous battle was in 1967, when he knocked down three Lakers players by one person and singled out the entire bench area of ​​the Lakers. The momentum was like a lion attacking its prey.

As a short center with no advantages in palm size, stature, and athletic ability, when the average height in the interior reaches 6 feet 10 (208CM), the short center needs to dominate both offense and defense like Reid. His basic skills how good?

Louie has no video to support his point of view, but he believes that the people who can dominate the peak of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Unseld, and the elderly Chamberlain definitely have the best basic skills in the interior.

Coupled with his famous leadership, his sense of responsibility to protect his teammates, a pure iron-blooded tough guy, and a real-life John McClain (the hero of "Die Hard"), Louie can't think of anyone more suitable for Camp than Reed 's mentor.

To this end, he must fight for Reid to join.

(1) From March 1970 until Reed was injured in Game 4 of the finals that year, Reed played 7 games with Unseld, 5 games with Kareem, and 4 games with Chamberlain, averaging 29.6 points and 17.5 points per game. backboard.
