The rest is just noise

On the eve of Louis' jersey retirement ceremony, the Knicks defeated the Orlando Magic on the road.

In this campaign, Stockton scored 11 points and 19 assists, and his personal assists exceeded 10,000, making him the first player in history to have assists in the tens of thousands.

In Louis' first season away from Los Angeles, the Knicks had a lot to adapt to.

The gaps between Wilson and Rodman also need to be filled.

Statistically, Ewing, Kemp and Miller fill their shoes.

The Knicks have now completely transformed into a team driven by the inside.

At the same time, Miller has been given a greater tactical status. In the past few seasons, he averaged no more than 18 points per game, but his scoring average this season has increased to 22 points per game.

Without Rodman to take away rebounds, Ewing once again became an insider averaging double figures in rebounds per game.

Kemp has a tendency to take over Wilson's banner.

Currently, he is the Knicks' scoring leader with an average of 25 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

Grant Hill, the most anticipated super rookie, was disliked just like the Lakers' rookie coach Zhao Yuanzheng.

Lakers fans thought that with Louis coming, the team would have a bright future.

It turned out that the coach was Zhao Yuanzheng.

Knicks fans never expect Hill to replace Wilson's role as soon as he comes. It feels like 30% of the conquerors are enough in the garden.

No matter how bad it is, a weakened version of the rookie Benj can still be accepted.

As a result, Hill became seriously acclimatized in the Knicks.

There are three main points.

In terms of personality, Hill is a good person, but lacks the aggressiveness that a core player in the Knicks should have, so he is destined not to become a player like Wilson. Because of his good temper, no one will take him seriously.

In terms of playing style, Hill's shooting ability is completely unable to meet the Knicks' requirements.

The Knicks have long been accustomed to Wilson's presence that does not occupy the ball and can attract 1.5 opponents' attention off the ball. But Hill is a person who needs the ball. With his current shooting ability, let him play without the ball.

The effect is very poor.

However, the Knicks have so many leading brothers that there is no chance for him to let go.

Hill needs to seize the limited opportunities to show his characteristics.

His characteristics make fans feel suffocated.

Basically no threat from beyond the three-point line, he can shoot from mid-range, but not at Wilson's level.

The threat of breakthrough is indeed strong, but it is far from enough.

Finally, off the field.

Hill is a good boy with both good character and academics, while Ewing, the boss of the Knicks, is the gun king with a chaotic private life. Kemp is the second gun king right behind him. Miller pretends to be pure but secretly is also a different person.

A VIP at a nightclub with special services, Stockton is indeed a normal person, but he is too boring and has nothing in common with Hill.

After Wilson left, the only voice on the Knicks team was Ewing.

If you want to integrate into the team, you have to get into Ewing's circle.

Otherwise, you have to completely separate the team's affairs from your own life.

Hill obviously couldn't be as nasty as Ewing, so he could only stick to his principles while trying to meet the expectations of New York fans, and then averaged 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

It can be said that Hill is not accustomed to living in New York.

This enhancement failed completely.

The Knicks have no reason to be optimistic about the future because monsters like the Heat have emerged in the East.

If Hill can't fill Wilson's gap, it will be difficult for them to defeat the Heat.

Knicks fans are snobbish.

The New York media is mean.

They won't make it easy for Hill.

Coming to New York again, Louis intuitively felt the fans' dislike of Hill.

They don't like the way Hill is pretentious on the court. They don't want to see Hill talking and laughing with everyone, as if he is the most polite person in the world. What they need is a player like Benj.

How will benj treat guests coming to New York?

Listen up, benj is going to walk up to the opponent, despise their core, and say shit like "Who of you are going to guard me tonight? I'm going to score 50 points on your head."

Hill would never do that.

This also destined that he would not be able to do what benj had done in New York.

Louis went to his hometown in Manhattan with his family.

Later, Louis went out to meet old friends.

He met Rudy, Baylor, Lao Mo and others successively.

Followed by Ewing, Kemp, Miller and others.

Like Rudy and others, Louis is more about reminiscing about old times.

When meeting Ewing, Louis did not laugh at him as planned, because rather than letting each other relive the "good times" of yesterday, they wanted to look back on the days when they won together.

Maybe this is the beauty that comes from distance. Louis feels that Ewing is becoming more and more mature.

Although his off-court exploits are still the focus of the New York media's attention, on the court, he is an impeccable leader.

Louis also asked about Hill.

Regarding Hill, Ewing just shook his head and said reluctantly: "Although he is very talented, he is far behind Benjamin."

When the Knicks decided to select Hill, Louis was still a member of the decision-making team.

He didn't expect Hill to be so incompatible with the Knicks' style.

If so, the Knicks will encounter severe challenges in the last five years of the 1990s.

Especially after Ewing begins to age, the Knicks will rely more on Kemp and the young people on the bench.

If Louis is still here, maybe Hill has been put on the trade agenda.

In order to sell Hill at a good price, he even gave him some ball rights to brush up his statistics and show off his talents.

But now the Knicks and Lakers have the same problem. They don't have the ball to help newcomers level up.

It is even more impossible to brush data.

Louis' impression of Hill still remains in the dream team training period.

I thought he could at least serve as a strong supplement to the Knicks, but now it seems that this is just an extravagant wish of Louis and Buford.

Louie's speech was scheduled after the game.

Because if it is scheduled before the game or during half-time, the live broadcast of the game must be taken into consideration to shorten the speech.

The scene expected Louis to say everything he wanted to say.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to arrange it after the game. Fans will never leave early. That is leader lu.

Then, it's game time.

Fans filled every seat in the Garden, and when Wilson entered the court, they cheered louder than any other Knicks player.

Ewing is obviously a little sour, and Wilson is no longer playing here, but the fans still like him.

When Louis and his wife arrived at the scene, the atmosphere in the garden suddenly escalated.

It felt like a big shot had arrived.

Celebrities led by Spike Lee waved their arms and asked the fans to shout the slogans they had agreed on.

“coach, my coach, welcome home!!!”

(Coach, my coach, welcome home!)

Everyone who came to the scene could feel the fans' love for that "coach."

Louis kept waving to the fans and beckoning them to sit down.

But they still stood and continued to shout the slogan loudly.

Then, Ewing realized that the King of New York was never him or Benj.

The King of New York is Louis.

New Yorkers are not even willing to call him "King", he is the Messiah of New York.

Ewing can become the boss of the Knicks, but he can't replace the Messiah.

This is Louis' lasting legacy in New York.

Because of Louie, the Knicks-Lakers game was postponed for 10 minutes.

When the game started, the smell of gunpowder suddenly appeared on the court.

In the first round, Wilson changed direction and shook off Hill, went straight to the basket, and dunked over Ewing.

"This is for you, King of New York!"

benj laughed.

Ewing quickly passed the ball through the pick-and-roll on the offensive end and returned a mid-range shot.

The Knicks' defense was full of intensity from the opening stage.

Both sides really want to win this game.

The Knicks want Louis to see how good they are now, while the Lakers just want to ruin the situation.

Hill also showed his personal talent in the second half of the game.

At that time, Ewing was replaced, and the Knicks had Kemp and Kukoc inside. When the two forwards who could shoot three-pointers opened up on the outside, his first step was as quick as lightning.

Pippen was passed by and watched as Hill dunked and scored.

Starting from the third quarter, the intensity gradually became unbearable for the Lakers.

As a result, Dale Ellis stepped up and scored three points in a row.

Spike Lee couldn't help but growled at Miller: "Reggie, you fucking bastard, do you know how powerful Dell is?"

Miller immediately entered the state and responded to the great director with a three-point rain.

But Kemp is so strong, he is a completely different level of player.

Last year he was only an All-Star, but now he has the ability to become a superstar and is expected to become a super star.

Seeing his growth, Louis suddenly felt that the Knicks were not incapable of competing with the Heat.

Kemp seems to be no worse than Manning now.

In the end, the Lakers also lost at the hands of Kemp. His matchup advantage was so huge that no one in the game could guard him. He scored 43 points and 19 rebounds, leading the Knicks to win the game with a 6-point advantage.

After the game, the stage was quickly set up, and team star Walter Frazier gave a speech.

But Louis didn't hear what he said clearly, because when Fraser was delivering his speech, the screams from the garden drowned out everything in the room.

Louis could only understand the situation through Fraser's gestures.

When Frazier's hand waved to him, he knew he was about to play.

Louis stepped out, and when he took the first step, the noise that was already seriously challenging the eardrums became more penetrating.

Louis' children were frightened.

Lorraine had to cover her daughter's ears with her hands.

Lu Wuxia, on the other hand, refused the adults' help because he believed that he could withstand such fierce love.

As a result, he was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak.

Louis walked to the stage and silently read the manuscript he had prepared.

"Thanks!"

He took the microphone and said.

The cheers, screams, whistles, and "coach, my coach" were mixed in, and there was no sign of stopping.

"Thank you so much."

The fans' love only grows stronger.

"I am grateful."

Louis gradually realized that no matter what he said, he could not silence the garden.

He suddenly felt that he didn't need to prepare anything.

Rather than saying that he came to thank others, it is better to say that this is a stage carefully prepared for the fans.

Fans have a lot to say to Louis, but they obviously don't have the opportunity to talk to him one-on-one, so screaming is the best way to express themselves.

Louis really doesn't have to do anything, there is already love here, all he has to do now is enjoy.

Just listen to the roar of the mountains and the tsunami.
