the rest, only noise

Chapter 814

"When we talk about Louie, who are we talking about?

The coaching of the Dream Team was full of quarrels, and the two strong contenders did not pose a threat to Little Lu. Ever since Benjamin Wilson and Patrick Ewing expressed their views, we knew that he would definitely become the coach of the Dream Team.

Let's go back to the beginning, where did Little Lu come from.
When the league decides to let professional players bring the best basketball to the Olympics, we can form many teams based on domestic talents to sweep the world, but we need the strongest team, so the dream team came into being.Speaking of which, the term "Dream Team" came from Little Lu.He can be said to have witnessed the birth of the dream team, and now, he will also lead the dream team to Barcelona.

This man, who is only 31 years and 4 months old, has a network that other coaches do not have.There are many coaches at his age who are still unknown, but Little Lu has been in the professional basketball circle for nearly 15 years.He became a scout for the Celtics at the age of 18, in 1978.
From Boston to New York, Little Lu completed the most exciting turnaround ever in four years, he changed from Little Lu to Leader Lu.'Little Lu', representing the past, has become a slur that New Yorkers hate. Lu is a light chaser, a satanic human body, a messiah, a godfather, but not Little Lu.

He rose as unstoppably as Reed Auerbach did, and the Knicks have won four straight and it looks like their dominance will continue.Louie is somewhat more restrained than Auerbach, at least because he has promised not to light a single cigar during the Olympics.

As to whether he'll celebrate with his signature Victory Coke, that's hard to say.

—Jack McCallum in Sports Illustrated, January 1991.

After Louie became the coach of the Dream Team, Ewing and Wilson immediately committed to joining the Dream Team.

After that, Sampson returned.

Bird said he would like to return.

Isiah Thomas first announced his return.

Suddenly, the Dream Team roster was crowded.

Just the candidates who have been confirmed, there are Jordan, Ewing, Robinson, Bird, Wilson, Barkley, Sampson, Thomas, that's 8.

Excluding one college student quota, there is a high probability of a tragedy teacher who will return as the spokesperson of the HIV virus. In fact, there are only two places left for others to compete for.

The list of players who will be competing for the 2 spots is lavish.

Like Pippen, Drexler, Wilkins, Karl Malone, Stockton, Mark Price, many great stars and stars, they all want to be one of them.

Louis notified the Basketball Association and the selection committee, and the remaining two candidates were not in a hurry to decide.

During the All-Star Weekend, they got together to discuss.

He is the head coach, at least he has the right to choose people.

The remaining two places, no matter how you look at it, are reserved for him, right?

Neither the Basketball Association nor the selection committee had any objections.

They have seen Louie's energy through the coaching event, and they all know his character.

If he wants to be the master, it is best for others not to interfere.

The dream team's roster was put on hold, and the official announced that the last few spots will be decided by the coaching staff.

Coaching staff?Isn't that Louis?
The only confirmed candidate for the dream team coaching staff is Louis, and the decision-making power is given to the coaching staff to Louis.

This decision has consequences that Louie never imagined.

Before the arrival of the All-Star Weekend, all star players who want to enter the Dream Team, if they have the opportunity to play the Knicks, will definitely go all out and show their bloody state.Teams that don't have a chance to play against the Knicks will do everything possible to make big news.

The first person to make news was Clyde Drexler, the core player of the Bulls.

After the bulls and the Blazers exchanged one for one, the fate of the glider and the flying pig has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Glider got the freedom and core position he wanted most, but the Bulls' competitiveness is too weak, even if they try their best, they can't take the team out of the lottery zone.

After Barkley went to Portland, his words and deeds revealed a truth.

"How could someone not want to play here? I don't understand, I really don't understand." Barkley deliberately disgusted Drexler.

Drexler did not respond to Buckley, he is a gentleman, not a low-level street slut like Fliggy, so he has to behave well.

No matter how educated he was, he couldn't hold back in the end.

"No one cares about anything that happens in Chicago, including our coach." After leading the team to a seven-game losing streak, Drexler went into a rage. "We've become more and more used to losing."

To Louie, it was an insinuating self-promotion from Drexler over the air, the glider showing him how much he cared about winning.Of course, maybe this is just a simple vent of anger.Or maybe, a bit of both.

However, Louis did not intend to recruit the glider.

Even 1992 was the best year of Drexler's career.

First of all, he and Jordan have fallen out.Louie wasn't sure Jordan would want to be on a dream team with a glider.

Secondly, it was difficult for Louis to agree with Drexler's speeches.

After the concept of the dream team came out, many stars immediately expressed their desire to become a member of it, and Drexler was no exception.

As a result, he was not included in the first list drawn up by the Dream Team.

Drexler, who was still waiting to be traded at the time, could only say something weird: "I don't think Larry can play in the Olympics now. What if he gets injured in Barcelona? What if he gets blown up on the court? Will those people underestimate the strength of the league because of this?"

It seems that in his eyes, Byrd is a bully.

Bird's condition is indeed not good. If Drexler insists on "let's not talk about feelings for this one", there is really nothing to do with him.

Byrd himself admitted that he is a dish at this stage.

But Bird is not a person who will ignore the opponent's trash talk. In the two duels in the new season, Bird averaged 34 points per game against Drexler.

Bird still has oil, and when he shoots with touch, his performance is not inferior to that of first-line superstars.

So Drexler directed his complaints to the tragedian.

Of course, he can't help but feel weird about Bird.

"I'm confused. How could they exclude players like James Worthy, Karl Malone, Dominique Wilkins, and me? Apart from the reputation of the players, don't they look at the status? This season, Larry just hid behind Ralph. What did the tragedian do? He didn't do anything." People, so the selection committee took extra care of him? ⑴"

The competition for the Dream Team spot is already heating up.

Inside the Knicks, there were mixed reactions to Louie's election as coach of the Dream Team.

Some people wanted to use Louie's relationship to enter the dream team, such as Rodman, but failed.

Louie asked him two questions.

As the fourth position, are you better than Barkley or better than Sampson?
Rodman replied truthfully: "They are all better than me."

"Okay, so what are you going to do?"

This is lore.

Rodman never mentioned the Dream Team again.

There are also daydreamers like Miller and Kemp who know they are not strong enough and want to fight for a spot but know that they are not qualified enough.

Stockton was the one who worked the hardest.

After Louie became the head coach of the Dream Team, Stockton averaged 12 assists in the 15 games leading up to the All-Star break.

After Louis coached him for so many years, he realized that he could make beautiful data even if he wanted to.

Being eliminated in the last few batches by Bob Knight in 1984 has always been one of Stockton's greatest regrets, and now the opportunity has come again, and Louie is also coaching.

Stockton thought it was the closest he'd come to playing for his country.

Louie saw Stockton's desire, but he couldn't respond.

The butterfly effect triggered by him has changed too much.

Thomas is still the same Thomas, but there are obviously not as many people who hate him as in his previous life, which did not affect his selection as the number one point guard in active service at all.

In this time and space, no boss will say: "There is Thomas but not me."

Therefore, no matter how beautiful Stockton's data is, the hope of being selected is very slim.

⑴The glider really said these words, but that was after he retired. The pictorial writer Jack McCallum mentioned in the article did his private interview and asked him about the dream team, and he said the above paragraph.As for reality, his performance is even more unbearable in my eyes.After the magician confirmed that he was infected with HIV, the glider's first reaction was "I'm selected! I'm selected!". This person is a gentleman on the surface, but in fact he has too many tricks.
