The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh high-level changes

The Knicks' fifth-peat celebration party was held at the Harbor House in Manhattan's Battery Park.

This is Manhattan's most unforgettable waterfront view and a New York landmark.

From the VIP list, you can see many hot stars.

Like Madonna, Spike Lee, Samuel "Majafack" Jackson... Jackson's nickname was accidentally seen by Louis when he was on the Internet in his previous life. The most frequent blasts in the movie, and the star who likes to say "Mommy Fake" the most.

"Coach Lu, don't you want to introduce me to Dennis?" Madonna came to Louis.

In close contact with Madonna, Louis can feel the charm of the queen.

Lorraine may be more beautiful than her, but she doesn't have Madonna's confident aura and conceit that can overwhelm all beings.

"Yes," Louis said honestly, "because you're a bad woman."

Madonna, holding a glass full of red wine, said, "But Dennis is a bad guy too. We're a good match, don't we?"

"Maybe." Louis winked. "He's there, you can go by yourself."

"You're welcome."

Madonna walked over slowly, and the vivid footsteps made Luitt want to play "Material Girl" as the soundtrack.

Like "boyskissme, boyshugme" in that song (some boys kiss me and some boys hug me).

Did Rodman really have no feelings for Madonna as he said?

Unfortunately, this looks more like the blind confidence of the second-year youth in his own determination.

Madonna made Rodman smile for 10 seconds, and Louie saw tension in his face after a long time.

Afterwards, Louie saw Madonna pointing at the window and asking Rodman to go there and chat.

Rodman seemed to agree, but he wanted to have a few words with his coach.

"Coach, I was wrong, Madonna is my thing." Rodman hated himself for not dressing up for the party. "Can I talk to her like this, Coach?"

Seeing his look of help, Louis couldn't tell him not to be with Madonna.

Just like Fujiwara Takukai and Natsuki, some men have to be severely hurt by women before they can make up their minds to go all the way north.

Madonna was a subversive concept for Rodman.

"You don't have to change for her," Louie said. "Maybe she likes you the way you are."

"I think so too."

Rodman laughed like a fool.

"Just when she was talking to me, I even thought about where we would be buried together after we died."

"We don't need to go into the cemetery, our ashes should go to the sea together."

Rodman said seriously.

"I think she likes me."

After speaking, Rodman walked to the window.

Madonna waved to Louis from a distance, and the triumph in her eyes conveyed a message of victory.

Louis could only raise a glass to her from a distance.

"If Dennis and Madonna were together, there would be more reporters around us."

MSG president Jack Kruger found out.

"Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Louie asked rhetorically.

"It may not be a good thing for you, because Madonna, Dennis will get more attention than everyone else, and in some cases, Dennis will get more attention than Madonna, because it's not surprising what Madonna does, but for Dennis It's fresh."

Kruger, in line with Louie, is not optimistic about the future of Rodman and Madonna's relationship.

"It may not be a problem in the short term, but in the long run, Madonna will subtly change Dennis, and you may have a tough problem."

Since the day Louie came to New York to meet Krueger, he has respected this Mr. President.

Krueger valued his ability to hand over basketball operations to him, while he could focus on developing the MSG perimeter as well as the Gardens and other professional team agreements plus holiday business shows.

The Garden's one-year performance contract alone can bring MSG hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

Knowing people and making good use of them is Kruger's characteristic.

His predictions about the future of Rodman and Madonna, and the potential impact of the latter on the former, are correct.

"But it shouldn't be a bad thing for you." Louis could only think of something good.

Kruger smiled lightly: "Of course, Madonna is the female version of Elvis (Elvis), she and Dennis will bring us more exposure, and there will be many sponsors who come to the door for this. ."

"So, I wish you a new year-end performance next year." Louis wanted to toast Kruger.

He didn't expect that Krueger actually looked embarrassed: "Alas, for the head office, MSG's performance is only a small part of the income, and they even think that the existence of the garden has affected the value-added of the Knicks."

"Did something happen?"

Louis had thought it was strange to celebrate five consecutive championships at this time. He thought that something really happened that he didn't know about.

"You should have heard about the garden's 300 million renovation plan, right?"

"Um."

"The approval is approved, but the scale of the garden has not been expanded. When the renovation is completed in the future, the comfort and advanced nature of the arena will be greatly improved. However, from the perspective of leases and commercial performances, the scale of the arena will not be expanded. will not generate more income.”

Louis asked seriously: "So, what does the above mean?"

"They plan to build a larger, modern Arena."

Louie smiled.

"Don't they know that the Dome and the Dome are not suitable for basketball?"

"Of course they know, and they know better, that pro football and pro baseball make more money than pro basketball."

Louie looked at Kruger seriously, trying to see the change in his face.

"Can I take this as a sign that the top management has moved to the idea of ​​trading the franchise?"

As unbelievable as it sounds, before Louie came to the Knicks, the Knicks were making money every year, no matter how bad the team was.

Since the Knicks returned to the playoffs in 1986, the club's annual net profit has been the first in the league.

After winning the championship in 1988, the Knicks' net profit began to double the second-ranked Lakers. As of last year, as the most profitable club, excluding expenses and dividends to other teams, the net profit was 50 million US dollars.

Among the many subsidiaries controlled by Paramount Communications, MSG is the most profitable.

Now they actually think they earn less?

"Not sure yet, but they do think it's more profitable to run a successful NFL team in New York."

Kruger's message to Louie is no small matter.

When Louis came to New York, he imagined how he would one day leave.

After crossing, he is sure that he will enter the professional basketball circle, but there are several prerequisites.

The most important point is that his work environment must be stable, and the top management needs to trust him.

In the past eight years, both the top management and Kruger ~www.readwn.com~ have done their best to let professional people do professional things.

Louie also knows that sooner or later the Knicks will change.

Now it seems that, in addition to coaching, he has to think about his future.

"I understand them."

Louis said indifferently.

"When I was in Boston, as a head coach, I already had a certain amount of power, but the presence of Reed Auerbach made it impossible for me to build the team according to my own ideas. In order to have dictatorship, I came to New York. "

"Most people will not be satisfied with the status quo. When the Knicks won the championship, the fans asked us to defend the title; after we defended the title, the world wanted us to chase the Celtics' fourth consecutive championship. Looking at the Celtics in the '60s, everyone was so ambitious."

Kruger noticed a change in Louie's mood.

"Don't worry, we're not there yet," Kruger said. "If something really happened, I'll let you know in advance."

"Thank you, Jack."

"Thank you, we are old friends." Kruger's words changed, "However, you should try your best to defend the title this year."

Louis said lightly: "This is the duty, and I will do my best."

The fifth consecutive championship party went on into the middle of the night, and the flesh and blood came in.

Kruger definitely put a lot of thought into it. There are women of all ages here, and the custody can serve in place.

Even Louis was arranged clearly.

Kruger knew that Lorraine was filming outside recently, and Louis was unbearably lonely, but he obviously underestimated the value of Louis' chastity.

A.C. Green has been traded for years, but his holy and noble soul is with Louis tonight.
