The rest is just noise

Chapter 1,191 The legacy of Dabo Douzi

In March, Lanny Wilkens led the team to victory, making him the first coach in NBA history to win 1,000 games.

This record, just like Chamberlain who was the first to score more than 30,000 points in his career decades ago, is considered a record that is difficult to surpass.

However, any record of longevity can be broken.

When Wilkens reached the record of 1,000 wins, the North American sports circle was filled with joy.

The blessings from all over the world are endless, and even Louis said that he is the best non-white coach in history.

It's just that this sentence unintentionally put himself under Wilkens.

Although Louis is now in Cao Ying, the New York media believes that their Messiah's heart is still in the Big Apple.

Therefore, they analyzed Wilkens's water quality from multiple angles and why he is not one of the five best coaches in NBA history.

To the media, apart from leading the Sonics to the championship in the late 1970s, Wilkens had almost no impressive resume.

But isn't it enough to lead the team to win a championship?

Compared with those coaches without titles, it is definitely enough, but it is definitely not as good as Louis.

In a situation that Louis did not want to happen, the media compared Louis and Wilkens in all aspects.

They came to the conclusion that the two men were not comparable.

Because Wilkens will be killed ruthlessly by Louis.

On his resume, Louis has seven NBA championships and one Olympic championship.

In terms of record, excluding the playoffs, Louis currently has a regular season record of 677 wins and 199 losses.

Whether it's winning rate or time, it has an overwhelming advantage.

The New York media optimistically predicted: "According to this situation, within seven seasons, leader Lu will become the second coach with 1,000 wins in the history of the league."

Wilkens was pulled out of the competition for no reason, and then proved to be completely defeated by Louis.

However, the Los Angeles media jumped out at the right time to impose righteous sanctions on the New Yorkers: "Yes, leader Lu will become the second Qian Sheng coach, but not in New York. His 700th win, 800th win, 900th win and the meaningful 1,000th

Victory will be achieved in Los Angeles."

This really hit the lungs. In the next half month, the media in the New York area reviewed the failed history of professional basketball in Los Angeles almost every day.

Louis' unintentional compliment to Wilkens actually triggered such a big rhythm.

The person involved just felt baffled.

Currently, Louis leads the Lakers to a record of 45 wins and 13 losses, which is the same as the Trail Blazers. However, due to the number of wins, they are temporarily ranked first in the Western Conference.

In the second game in March, the Lakers met the Trail Blazers again.

This is their second battle with the Trail Blazers.

Jordan fulfilled his promise and scored 50 points against the Lakers.

However, Wilson also had a triple-double of 46 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, not losing to Jordan at all.

What really gives the Trail Blazers an advantage is Olajuwon and Mourning.

This pair of insiders was very uncoordinated in the last game against the Lakers. Now over the past few months, Riley seems to have created a wonderful tacit understanding for them.

According to the observations of the Lakers coaching staff, this tacit understanding is basically like this.

Olajuwon hits one ball, then it's Mourning's turn to hit in the next round.

If someone hits two balls in a row, then the other person can hit three balls in a row.

Can the game be played according to this orderly offensive pattern?

Of course not.

That is to say, the Blazers are strong and are not prone to problems in the regular season, but in the playoffs, whoever is stronger will definitely win.

It can be seen that Jordan's patience is almost reaching its limit.

The teammates around him changed round after round, but the distance between him and the championship became farther and farther.

He stepped into the strange circle drawn by the time traveler.

Obviously he did nothing wrong, but he just couldn't win the championship.

Either his team is not good enough, or he is not good enough, or they are not ready, or there is a strange move, or there is an internal problem, or it is bad luck. In short, there is a force somewhere.

Prevent him from winning the championship.

But tonight, no one can stop him.

The Trail Blazers won the ranking battle with the Lakers and ranked first in the league with a record of 46 wins.

Wilson got angry before Louis did.

"Can we not make the same mistakes every time!" Wilson started with this sentence and began to criticize his teammates, especially Garnett and Tragedy.

One of them was beaten inside by the Trail Blazers, and the other was in poor condition and made repeated mistakes.

The two oldest and youngest players on the team bore Wilson's wrath.

Others could no longer imagine what would happen to Louis.

After Louis learned that Wilson was angry, he stopped thinking about expressing his emotions.

Putting appropriate pressure on the team will help them learn lessons, but putting too much pressure can easily cause morale to collapse.

Now that Wilson has done the work for him, he can finish it with peace of mind.

Louis has become the angel he was at the beginning of the season again, calmly accepting the fact that the Lakers are now not as good as the Trail Blazers.

"We did make a lot of mistakes that we shouldn't have made, so we lost. This is a lesson." Louis said softly, "However, rather than making these mistakes in the playoffs, I would rather they appear in the regular season. This

It means we still have time to correct it."

Louis said something unexpected and the players could breathe again.

When everyone left and only Louis and Wilson were left in the locker room, they started chatting again.

"I heard you were mad at Jasmine and Erwin?"

"The two of them fought really badly."

"Jasmine really deserves to be scolded, but for Erwin, you have to be considerate." Louis was really afraid that Wilson would put too much pressure on him and make the tragedy master think about leaving. "The 36-year-old veteran has been away from the game for four years.

Probably in good shape every night."

Wilson said: "I think he is no different from the past. If he wants to lower his requirements, he might as well retire."

"I'm not asking you to lower your demands, I'm asking you to be considerate of him." Louis believed that Wilson could understand the difference. "Don't make the mistake of Patrick. Give him both a stick and a carrot. Be a warm-hearted person."

leader."

Wilson asked with a slight panic: "Do I look like Patrick tonight?"

"I can't say they are exactly the same, but they are at least 95% similar." Louis snorted, "And you are much scarier than him when you are angry."

Wilson decided to find the tragedy master to apologize. He didn't want to follow Ewing's old path.

Although Ewing is now a good leader, he took a very tortuous road to grow up.

Wilson didn't want to take that long, and he didn't want anyone to become a victim in the process.

"Coach, maybe I should talk less."

When Wilson is in a leader's position, his energy and commitment as a player will affect his behavior.

Just like tonight, he could accept failure, but he couldn't stand a lot of low-level mistakes by his teammates, so he exploded.

"No, Benj, in my opinion, you didn't say too much, but you said too little. You don't have to leave some words until the end of the game. If there is a problem during the game, you can just slap a child with a belt."

Teach them like a grumpy father."

"Like Patrick?"

"Yes, but the difference is that Patrick only does that off the court, and what we really need is to correct mistakes as soon as they happen."

"I see."

Louie and Wilson talked a lot.

After all, this is Wilson's second senior season, and he still has a lot to learn.

In fact, there was one thing that Louis did not say, that is, his attitude towards criticizing the tragedian was totally fine.

Everyone must realize again and again that the boss of this team is Wilson.

The tragedy master is the past tense, he is now just a respected veteran.

Even for such a veteran, he will still be scolded whenever he makes a mistake.

Others shouldn't take any chances either.

Wilson can gain authority by getting angry at the Tragedy Chief and Garnett.

Apologizing to a tragedy master in private can help you feel better.

But remember not to show off too much like Ewing, making it difficult for you to get close to your teammates.

This is also the lesson Louis learned from Ewing.

Leaders' talents can be innate or acquired, and they can also be coached.

Let the core players develop their leadership skills freely, and we can only pray that they develop in the right direction.

This is the mistake Louis made with Ewing.

He didn't stop Ewing when he reached an extreme, and now he wants to prevent Wilson from making the same mistake.

From this point of view, if Wilson becomes a perfect leader in the future, Ewing's contribution seems to be considerable?

Louis believes Wilson will thank Ewing for this in a future Hall of Fame speech.

Wait, will he really thank Ewing?

Thank you for giving me a slap in the face and showing me how to be the best leader?

If Wilson really said this, he would definitely feel a creepy feeling.

Patrick Ewing never knew the power of a big dick and the far-reaching impact it could have.

After that, someone in the NBA reached a milestone data.

Lakers veteran Tragedy provided 14 assists in the game against the Vancouver Grizzlies, making him the second player in NBA history to have over 10,000 assists.

(The first one is Stockton)

Finally, when the Lakers returned to Los Angeles from their away game, Jim Buss, who had been on a business trip for a month, also returned from Philadelphia with a full load.

In his words: "I believe that the Lakers will surely revive under the leadership of the wise and capable coach Lu. We will build the greatest team in history. This will be the greatest project in the history of professional basketball.

I, as the future heir to the Lakers and the Forum, must be a part of this process!"

However, Bass kept mumbling for a long time, but strictly kept the results of his business trip secret. As soon as he arrived at the forum office building, he rushed into the president's office and arranged for three security guards to stand guard at the door, not allowing anyone to come close and eavesdrop.
