The Rest, Only Noise

Heading into the new year, both the Knicks and the Blazers lost more often.

As of the All-Star break, the Knicks are 39-6 and the Blazers are 40-5.

For these two teams that have remained competitive all the year round, how to strengthen their beliefs in the long regular season is a question worthy of serious consideration.

The Knicks have been through a lot, from the internal turmoil of Ewing's extension to the Dream Team.

Now, Louis has been elected as the coach of the Dream Team, and New York is also bright. Ewing and Wilson have been selected for the Dream Team. The Knicks marketing department has seized the opportunity and launched a variety of commemorative peripherals to make a lot of money.

All-Star Weekend in 1992 in Orlando.

The organizers of the Magic have no All-Star selection, and they are in a formidable decline to occupy the bottom of the league.

Because the league has not changed the lottery rules for a long time, the bottom of the ranking does not increase the probability of the Magic's winning the No. 1 pick.

But many people felt that if the Magic got the No. 1 overall pick, Shaquille O'Neal would have chosen to sign up for the 1992 draft.

Louie and his family came to Orlando a day early.

This year he didn't turn down the Eastern Conference All-Stars head coach's invitation, because the league holds a midterm meeting at the venue every year for All-Star weekend.

Like this year is the Olympic year, to form a dream team, there are more things to discuss.

Louie, as a head coach, has to get on the field.

After all, there are still four vacancies on the Dream Team's roster.

After arriving in Orlando, Louis split with his family.

Lorraine and the others were having fun, and Louis was going to the midterm meeting.

This year's midterm meeting has many fresh faces.

In the past, representatives of the league and various clubs participated in the mid-term meeting. This year, there were more members of the selection committee represented by Rod Thorne and Dave Garvet, who represented the American Basketball Association.

Louis originally thought that with Garvet there, he probably wouldn't have a good day today.

Unexpectedly, Gavit was enthusiastic when he first saw him: "Coach Lu, how are you doing?"

Did he not know the situation clearly, or did he really think that "that little holiday" between the two was unimportant?

Is the fallout of the Chris Jackson trade over?

It may be over for the Knicks, but far from the Celtics.

Realizing that he was tricked, Louie would rather cut some meat (send Doug West) and get revenge. The result is that the Celtics bet on team luck and sent two future All-Stars in exchange for the biggest one in the 1990s. Bubble Billy Owens.

It can't be said that Owens is a complete parallel, but as long as you think about what the Celtics paid for him, and the endearing content he showed, it's not enough.

"I'm fine, especially after seeing CJ perform like this."

Louie looked at Gavitt warily, believing that the other party had bad intentions.

"I'm really happy to see CJ reborn in Apple City, that's why we made that deal, it's good for both of us." Gavitt seems to really think that Louie is so tolerant enough to be played as a fool and still be nothing. .

Louie smiled sarcastically: "Yeah, it would be better if he didn't have that problem."

"No one is perfect, Coach Lu." Gavit asked Louis to take a seat naturally, "Please, Coach Lu."

Garvet really gave Louie a strange feeling that the other side didn't seem to regard himself as an enemy, nor did he feel that there was something wrong with him concealing CJ's strange illness in the Chris Jackson deal.

Besides, he doesn't seem to know that Louis is very opinionated about it.

Didn't even know that Louie set up the game to get them to make that team-luck deal.

This made Louis think a lot, maybe this was not planned by Gavit?

Is it Auerbach?

Would Auerbach really try to trick him for that petty profit? After all, that's just a few picks that aren't enough to change anything.

Louis did not believe that Auerbach would backstab him for this benefit.

But now, Louis can only wait.

I believe that when the Celts come back to their senses, they will find that Louis is a **** who will definitely be calculated back. Doug West kills the future of the Greens.

At that time, they must have something to say to Louie.

Until that day came, Louis had to wait.

At the midterm meeting, David Stern's assistant Garcia Lynn announced last year's league revenue and overall game viewership.

Due to the rise of the Knicks, a large amount of capital poured into the league, and the Lakers faced off in the finals for three consecutive years. The two developed media areas also attracted the attention of the United States.

Although at this height, there is no way to double the league revenue like the 1991 MLB World Series (1), but compared with the Lakers matchup in the 1980s, the Lakers-Knicks game has brought more commercial value and audiences. , which is what the league values.

These are the things that club representatives like to hear, but everyone knows what the point is today.

The biggest issue is of course the Dream Team. Currently, there are 8 players in the team. Except for a college student and a tragic teacher with many uncertain factors, there are only two places left for everyone.

The Dream Team's reputation was nearly ruined some time ago, but now, with Louie taking over the coaching role, and the return of the superstars, everyone is eager to be a part of it.

Almost all of the star players have expressed interest in joining the Dream Team.

"I want to hear everyone's opinion first."

Louie didn't make it clear who he had in mind.

As a result, the meeting became chaotic, and everyone wanted to cram their star player into the team.

Jazz representatives believe that their star Karl Malone deserves to join the team.

"Carl is the best pick-and-roll player in the league, and he's a dominant force in any game."

Bulls general manager Clyde Gooden thought it was absurd that Drexler wasn't drafted to the Dream Team.

"Looking at the league, aside from MJ and Benj, I don't think there's a better wing than Clyde."

There's nothing wrong with Gooden saying that.

The most outrageous thing about him is to hold one and step one. Of course, it is understandable. After all, it was not long ago that Barkley was sent to Portland because he couldn't stand it.

Gooden looked at Louie, he knew that Louie had the right to decide: "If even Charles Barkley can be selected for the Dream Team, why can't Clyde? Coach Lu, you keep talking about respect, I want to know if Clyde is worth it worthy of respect?"

"John, if you say that, I don't agree!" Blazers general manager Bucky Buckwalter had to speak for their inside core. "Clyde is good, but his style is very good Instead, we have MJ, Benj, and Larry, what Clyde can do, they can do, and they can do better. At the same time, they can do what Clyde can't. You Saying that Clyde is better than Charles, I also disagree, at least in the flank offense, Charles has irreplaceable value, let Clyde understand his shooting practice first!"

The Blazers happen to be Drexler's old club again, and the biggest thing he and Barkley have in common is that they both had a riot with their parent team.

After listening to this, Craig Gooden was broken by his defense and said indifferently: "You also said before that letting athletes represent the national team will disrupt their vacation and affect the preparations for the new season. I don't think you are at all. I have thought about serving the country well, and this opportunity should be given to those who want to represent this country even more!"

Yo, it's noisy.

"Coach Lu, what's your opinion?" Lynn motioned for Louie to come to the round.

Louie asked with a smile: "Do other clubs have players to recommend?"

A representative for the Pistons said: "Joe Dumars is worthy of the Dream Team, he is the best combo guard in the league."

The Pacers representative hurriedly stood up: "Danny Manning can play five positions in the international arena!"

Heat godfather Lewis Shafir said: "I think Hank Gaithers and Reggie Lewis should be on the Dream Team, but no matter the outcome, I will respect Coach Lu's decision."

Louie said with a smile: "Now ~www.readwn.com~ Dream Team has M***enj, Patrick, Larry, Ralph, Isiah, David, Charles on the roster. , the pure point guard is only Isiah, there are many wing players, there are Benj, Larry, MJ and Charles, and there are Ralph, David and Patrick in the interior. Since Charles and Larry can play the 4th position, so I I think at most we can add a full-time 4 and pick a ball handler. For the rest, I think we should wait for Erwin's test results. Whenever there is a chance, we will all let Erwin go to Barcelona , the dream team is a real dream team only when he's there."

(1) The 1991 MLB World Series was recognized as the best series in history. The two participating teams were at the bottom of the division in the previous year, but the next year they joined the World Series. This kind of story line and drama is really unique. The second is the content of the game. Imagine what would have happened in the finals in 2009 when the first **** battle between the Celtics and the Bulls took place in the finals. Therefore, this is the time when the world and the earth are working together. The final battle of the 1991 World Series set a viewing record of 50 million people watching the game.

(2) In the first round of 2009, the Bulls and the Celtics played seven games, five of which were within 3 points. Both teams completed evolution in competition, regret and redemption, lore and anti-lore. The tone of the entire series was as if the game would never end if only a few more seconds of time went on.
