The rest is just noise

"I would be surprised if AI is not elected unanimously."

When a crooked veteran deliberately mentioned the candidate for Rookie of the Year in the team, Louis said it again in the tone of Popovich.

Hearing this, an unconvinced high school student said: "Huh, if that's the case, it only means that the Rookie of the Year Award is an award that only looks at data and not performance."

Ellis asked in disbelief: "You don't really think anyone will vote for you, do you?"

Kobe said without blushing and out of breath: "I led the team to the best record in the league, isn't it worthy of a vote? If the AI ​​is elected unanimously, it can only be said that the judges... don't understand basketball.

of!"

"Are you leading the team?"

Louis savored Kobe's words.

Everyone had a look on their face like "Did this guy really just say that?"

Liu Yuqing said nonchalantly: "It seems that after becoming the thief of the Rookie Challenge MVP, Allen Iverson will become the thief of the Rookie of the Year Award again."

"I didn't say he didn't deserve it," Kobe continued, "I said he didn't deserve the unanimous vote!"

Louis laughed: "Don't worry, I will definitely not vote for him."

Kobe's eyes lit up: "Coach, can you vote?"

That being said, he can't even vote for the Rookie of the Year Award?

Louis explained: "Not just me, starting from this year, coaches across the league will participate in voting for regular season awards."

Kobe immediately changed his face and asked flatteringly: "Coach, you will definitely vote for me, right?"

"This...hehe?"

"whee?"

"whee."

"What does hee hee mean?"

"You kid, go back and practice for another ten years. I'm damn sure I won't vote for you."

Ellis and Kobe's honeymoon phase only lasted one night.

Kobe snorted: "You're not the coach!"

"Coach, you're definitely not going to vote for him, are you?" Ellis asked.

"Well...actually, I haven't made a decision yet. So, there are still a few days until the final vote. If you rookies want to get my precious vote, just give it to me."

"Perform." Louis said, "Although I don't have the right to decide with one vote, as the greatest coach in history, my one vote is worth a hundred votes from others."

Louis recently practiced a unique skill called straight hook fishing.

Nash and Ben are both adults, so naturally they won't be incited by Louis' few words.

Kobe was different. He admitted that Iverson had a higher chance of winning because the opponent was a selfish player who only knew how to collect statistics. Of course, the short-sighted judges would vote for him.

But is it too much to be elected unanimously?

Now we know that Louis has the right to vote. Although he only has one vote, it is the vote for the best coach in history. As he said, one vote can be worth hundreds of votes.

In other words, the person who gets this vote is the Rookie of the Year.

As for the officially selected Rookie of the Year Award winner who didn't get this vote...that's just a trophy thief who deceives the world.

As Louis wished, Kobe was the only one who took it seriously.

It's not that Nash and Ben don't want to play hard. Of course they will play hard, but the reason is definitely not for ROY votes.

Things like votes only matter if you can be elected. To put it bluntly, one vote is not enough for you.

No one really believes that Coach Lu’s one ticket is worth a hundred, right?

From that day on, Kobe was on full fire.

Even though the hook was straight, he just held on tightly and refused to let go. Ben laughed at him for being short-minded, and he retorted sarcastically: "How can you, a second-round idiot who doesn't seek to improve, understand the meaning of competition?"

Then comes the Eastern and Western semifinals.

In the Western Conference, there is no upset. The Lakers, who are first in the conference, will face the Spurs, who are fourth in the conference. The Trail Blazers, who are second in the conference, will face the Warriors, who are third in the conference.

In the East, the Knicks, Heat, Celtics, and Magic are also among the top four in the conference.

Moreover, there are two highlight games in the semifinals.

They were the New York Gorillas vs. the Disney Sharks, and Sampson led the team against the Heat, his former team.

The showdown between the Celtics and Heat attracted a lot of attention.

This is a continuation of the feud between Sampson and Manning.

The difference can be seen in the speeches of the two men before the start of the series.

Manning tried his best to distance himself from his relationship and grudges with Sampson: "Many people say this is a grudge match. I'm sorry, I want to laugh. Ralph and I have succeeded together. That is a beautiful memory we share.

Now, I am still committed to Miami, and he is making a comeback in Boston. Many people want to see what will happen between us, but I can tell you clearly, nothing will happen."

If Louis hadn't known the inside story, he might have been deceived by Manning's statement.

Those who truly understand the twists and turns can only sneer at Manning's speech.

The client, Sampson, didn't even give him a sneer.

When the reporter brought up the series between Greencap and the Heat and its background story, Sampson rarely interrupted the reporter's question: "I think you can stop asking this question."

"Ralph, can I ask why? Danny said there is no problem between you two, and you have had brilliant achievements in Miami..."

Sampson interrupted again and said in a very cold tone: "I know how it ends."

Combined with the past and Sampson's attitude, even people who don't know the inside story can tell that Manning is lying.

Sampson did not hype this matter, nor did he talk about it. He just used his attitude to prove that the semifinals between the Celtics and the Heat were by no means "nothing will happen" as Manning said.

, but "anything can happen".

Although the melon seeds next door are delicious, Louis cannot be distracted yet.

There is not much suspense in the semifinals between the Lakers and Spurs, but we still can’t be careless.

In order not to affect his enjoyment of the show...oh no, in order not to be upset by the late-positioning team, Louis must find a way to sweep the Spurs in four games without giving any chance.

Anyway, the Spurs have successfully passed the first round. As a rookie coach, Popovich should be satisfied, right?

Ga1

On the day of the game, Louis discovered that Kobe had arrived at the forum two and a half hours early to practice.

Because he came so infrequently, the forum was holding a concert at the time.

Kobe, who had no ball to play, chose to go to the gym and lift irons.

He has extraordinary energy and strong fighting spirit.

Louis suddenly thought, why not let this kid@

"It's just a temporary adjustment, you are still starting @, and your performance in the first round was very good, but sometimes you are too selfless, you should be more selfish."

If Liu Yuqing didn't agree, it would be difficult for Louis to force the arrangement.

It seemed that he had no objection.

At the end of the sentence, he was still in the mood to joke: "Like Kobe?"

Louis also gave him a joke that only Lakers players could understand: "No, like Al."

After saying that, Louis smiled.

Liu Yuqing's expression remained unchanged, but she complained in her heart.

This @ the first thief.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that sooner or later, Kobe would steal the starting lineup from him.

Although Liu Yuqing strongly disagrees with Kobe's way of playing, he recognizes his opponent's strength and talent.

He is only 18 years old and has such a level. As long as he keeps improving, he and Dale Ellis really can't compete.

So tonight, this can be considered as an early adaptation to not playing in the starting lineup in the future...

As Louis said, although Jiang Duo doesn't talk much, his ideas are all kinds of strange and wonderful.

(1) A not-so-cold trivia: Bill Russell had to go to the toilet to vomit before a game. If he couldn't vomit, Auerbach would lock him in the toilet until he vomited.
