The rest is just noise

Chapter 1,195 The Holy Roman Empire in College Basketball

At the end of the season, Louis consciously took a rest.

Tragedians basically don’t play back-to-back;

Dale Ellis plays 5 games and takes one rest;

Christian Lettner was given an outrageous one-week rest by Louis because of a stiff neck;

Apart from the rookies, only one veteran on the team did not accept the arrangement obediently.

That person is Benj.

Do you think he is rebellious? In fact, he is not, he has a reason not to take a rest.

"I'm only 28 years old, how can I rest?"

I have to say that what he said makes sense, and Louis doesn't think Benj needs to take a rest.

But everyone else is taking turns, and he is the only one who doesn’t take turns. Why, does he have any privileges?

Well, who calls him Coach Lu’s big baby?

Coach Lu is willing to give him special care in the style of Qiluo Tomorrow.

I guess you must be curious to know what Asuka's special care is. Don't be wrong, it's not what you think. Asuka in the competition is like Madonna's nude scene, which is not interesting, especially in the later stages of her career. Everyone

They all go there because of their reputation. Her preferential treatment outside the venue is an additional requirement when participating in various activities. For example, the makeup artist who worked well with her last time is not favored by her this time and needs to be replaced. The reason

?Because this makeup artist’s skills are not good.

Of course Wilson didn't do it to that extent, but allowing Coach Lu to do something special is already proof of his leadership status.

Louis can not let him rest, but his playing time is decided by the coaching staff.

Wilson had no choice but to accept it.

So Louis limited Wilson's playing time to 25 minutes in games when he needed to rest.

This is not a problem for Wilson.

Even though he played less than 25 minutes, Wilson still scored high points in those games without affecting his momentum as the scoring champion.

Due to the increase in rest periods, the Lakers experimented with the "shooting star" tactic much less at the end of the season.

Louis was in no hurry.

Because one thing that is certain now is that if you want to fight the "Meteor", the existing manpower is not enough.

Wilson has completely mastered the "shooting star" and figured out the tricks of the "whale fall". He is the one who never makes a mistake.

But if someone makes a mistake in front of him, he will fly into a rage like Louis.

The tragedy maker is in a stable state, and occasionally makes incomprehensible mistakes, but overall, if the Lakers want to play well in the "Meteor", they can't do without him for the time being.

Liu Yuqing is smart enough.

He may be the first person in the team to master the "Meteor" tactic, but he also knows that he is not a general like Wilson and Tragedy Master, so he did not continue to explore the "Whale Fall" in the second stage, but stayed on

Consolidate your comfort zone and consolidate your base.

He may never be able to enter the "Temple" as Louis envisioned, but the Knights need him.

If there is a protagonist, there must be a supporting role. It is the same everywhere.

Garnett... This young man is good at everything, but there is one problem. He is too out of touch. The free habits left over from high school have seriously affected his progress in mastering new tactics.

Sometimes, he made Louis feel that this son was extremely smart and could quickly integrate into tactics.

But soon, Garnett would use various methods to raise Louis' blood pressure to scold him.

Louis gradually understood that it was not that Garnett couldn't play new tactics, but that his bad habits were too serious and needed more severe training.

Therefore, Bird was often scolded.

Who called him Garnett's head coach?

On the first day of April, the NBA had no games scheduled.

Because today is the national championship game of college basketball, the opponents are the University of Kentucky and Syracuse University.

For this reason, Louis went to Madison Garden to watch the game in person.

His arrival caused an astonishing response.

The entire audience stood up to greet him. Although he kept waving his hands to indicate that everyone could sit down, no one listened to him.

For those few minutes, Louis became the protagonist of the garden.

Also appearing with Louie are Jim Bass and Zhao Yuanzheng.

At the same time, the Knicks' R.C. Buford, Elgin Baylor, and Rudy Tomjanovich also came to the scene.

They were sitting in the front row of Louis.

It’s inevitable for old friends to get together and reminisce about the past.

However, the primary purpose of Louis' visit today is not to meet old friends or to inspect a certain player, but to cheer up Syracuse University.

This made University of Kentucky head coach Rick Pitino very unhappy: "Coach Lu, we are friends, but you chose to stand against me today."

"Rick, Jim (Jim Boeheim/Syracuse University head coach) and I are also friends, but my support of Syracuse today has nothing to do with you."

Pitino wanted to know why.

At this time, an Asian man wearing a Syracuse University jersey ran over and said, "Principal, I was just talking casually. I didn't expect you to actually come."

"You are the first Chinese player to reach the NCAA National Finals. Play well. I will definitely support you to win the championship."

The other party nodded, said hello to Pitino and went back to warm up.

Pitino chuckled and said: "Okay, Coach Lu, I understand why you support Syracuse, but unfortunately, we will win today's game."

"Come on, Rick."

Louis does feel that Kentucky has a winning percentage of over 90%.

The reason? Syracuse University has only two players with NBA prospects. One is the team leader John F. The other is Qi Chengyan, who came from the fourth period of the Road Academy in the United States and followed in the footsteps of Hu Weidong.

After joining Syracuse last year, he secured a starting position in his first season. Since he can play the first, second, and third positions, he quickly became the team's core player.

Considering that there may be many big-day talents participating in the draft this year, this will be a rare draft year in recent years. If Qichengyan chooses to participate in the draft this year, he will have a draft market in the middle and late first round, but if

If you participate in the draft in a foreseeable small year like next year or the year after, you are very likely to become a lottery pick.

However, Louis never thought about Syracuse winning.

Although Syracuse plays very good team basketball, their opponent, Kentucky, is a college dream team with nine players with NBA prospects.

Among them, Barkley III Antoine Walker is the most eye-catching. Although the only reason this person is called Barkley III is because his head is relatively large, he is indeed an unsolvable player at the college level.

The game was in Kentucky's hands from the start.

When you have nine NBA-level players, you can do whatever you want in college basketball.

Syracuse's team basketball is very impressive, but the talent gap is really disappointing.

Qi Chengyan's performance did not disappoint Louis, who came to the scene specially.

"How should I put it?" Zhao Yuanzheng smiled bitterly, "I think this kid really needs to find someone to change his shooting posture."

"No need?" Bass Jr. said with high emotional intelligence, "His shooting action is so fun."

Although Louis began to establish the position of shooting coach very early, the term shooting coach is still new to the basketball world.

Does shooting still need to be taught?

Anyone in this world who picks up a ball and shoots the ball will basically have the same posture.

Shooting is the most arbitrary technical action.

But the impact of a bad shooting move is unimaginable to amateurs.

There are problems with Qi Chengyan's shooting action, but he still has a lot of time to adjust. What impressed Louis deeply was his ability to break through the entire defense with the ball in front of Kentucky's murderous press⑴ despite being two meters tall.

⑴Do you still remember? The concept of murder press was created by Louis and Pitino after they contacted each other.

With his body shape and playing style, the more Louis looked at him, the more he looked like Sun Yue.

Maybe try to switch to the one position?

Louis had many ideas, but no miracles happened in this game.

Everyone likes the drama of the weak defeating the strong, but the main theme of competitive sports is a strong team crushing a weaker team.

Kentucky played steadily throughout the game and always maintained a double-digit advantage.

From halftime to the end of the game, Syracuse never had a chance.

As Hubie Brown said, this Kentucky Wildcats team is the Holy Roman Empire of college basketball.

Compared with John Wallace, whose talent was crushed, Qi Chengyan can be regarded as the most outstanding person in Syracuse University, with 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

The defeat was determined, and he couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

Although he promised to make a comeback next year, Syracuse University's recruiting level is incomparable to giants like Kentucky, Duke, and North Carolina.

But if a man is not passionate, he will waste his youth, so Louis can only bless him.

The NBA regular season is also entering its final stage.

On April 20, the Lakers narrowly defeated the city rival Clippers in the final game and won their 64th win of the season. They ended the regular season with the second place in the Western Conference and fourth place in the league.
