The rest is just noise

At the end of October, two young players from Luyuan who lived in the United States (Xiao Yi, Lin Ziye) officially enrolled in Beverly High School, where Lu Wuxia was.

Although they were both born in 1984, they were still a little behind in their homework. Louis didn't want to put too much pressure on them to study, so he asked them to start studying in the tenth grade.

In the past two years, Beverly High School has been the top high school team in California. Louis believes that the addition of these two people can enhance the competitiveness of Beverly High School and take their overall strength to a higher level.

At the same time, Louis also publicly accepted another job.

TNT Frontline hosted by Ernie Johnson has always been TNT's signature show in the basketball field.

Currently, in addition to Johnson as the host, there are also two celebrities from Hukai, Magic and Laimbeer.

This contrasting background is very interesting to the audience.

Since the topic of player guests is enough, they hope to invite an influential coach to join.

TNT locked in Louis, who was unemployed at home.

But Louis will not come out to work for no reason. He has already said that he wants to rest. Although joining the TNT team as a guest is not a strenuous job, he was not interested at first.

Later, Louis, who wanted to expand the influence of Beverly High School, made a condition to TNT. If they agreed, he would accept the job.

A few days later, TNT announced that starting from the new season, they would broadcast the entire Beverly High School game live.

This makes Beverly High School the first high school basketball team in history to sign a broadcast contract with a major television station.

For most of the players on the school team, although this matter does not produce its own economic benefits, it is of great help to their popularity.

Without live television, everyone interested in high school basketball would either have to watch the game live, or they would have to rely on media outlets like Sports Illustrated for simple coverage.

Moreover, even if there is media exposure, their focus will be on the star players.

Just like Beverly High School, when it comes to this high school, fans all know that this is the perfect team, but what about the others?

Television broadcasts can change this phenomenon.

Supporting actors around celebrities will also receive attention.

In the eyes of many people, this is Louis helping his son to build momentum in advance.

The supporting actors will certainly benefit from live television, and the protagonists will get more exposure.

As long as there is live broadcast, the star is no longer just statistics on paper, but a player full of reality.

The purpose of Louis' doing this is not to help his son build momentum as outsiders say.

In fact, this is increasing competition pressure on Wuxia.

As I said before, as he enters his senior year of high school, his peers who develop late will grow up rapidly in these two years, and the challenges he faces will become more and more intense.

Since the Beverly High School games are now broadcast live on TNT, all the opponents of the teams they face will want to show off their skills in the game.

Lu Wuxia is about to face the biggest challenge of his school career. All the high school players want him to be the backdrop for their fame.

Louis' idea is very simple, which is to fundamentally test his son's ability.

If he survives it, it means he really has NBA prospects.

If he does well, he's a top prospect in his age group.

If he defeats all the opponents who try to attack him... then Louis will really have hopes for his son to be a future NBA star.

If he collapses in this suffocating competition...then don't say anything, don't play ball, just study for a few years, try to go to a good university, and start spending money after graduation.

Wouldn't his conscience hurt if he left such a huge family fortune untouched?

After giving his son strength training, Louis began to plan his future work arrangements.

TNT was very generous and gave him a one-year contract worth US$10 million, but the exact amount he received depends mainly on his attendance rate.

What is certain is that Louis will definitely not attend a game that is not interesting to watch.

As for those interesting games, it depends on his mood.

Of course, this is a VIP spray position, and Louis will not miss the opportunity. He can use that position to blast certain players who have a bad impression, such as someone in New York.

At this time, the new season had begun, and Louis' first appearance on the show as a regular guest was the night the Lakers played against the Mavericks.

Kobe Bryant and Garnett battle against the European Big Three of Bodilloga, Nowitzki and Nash.

Since the start of the season, Bodilloga has shown a completely different aggressiveness from the Lakers period, averaging 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists per game.

"Coach, what do you think the Mavericks' chances of winning against the Lakers are?"

This question was asked by Ranbir.

Louis smiled and said: "It depends on whether Kobe and KG can let themselves go."

Ernie Johnson asked leadingly: "Oh, how are they going to let themselves go?"

Louis said: "One of Kobe's most amazing stunts is that he has a switch inside his body. As long as he presses that switch, his teammates will automatically disappear from his eyes."

"As for Kevin, the failure of the US team should make him understand that if you die on the inside, you have to die on the inside. After all, letting loose in the middle and long distances is not a long-term solution."

This summer, in addition to sending away several superstars, the Lakers still have a lot of news.

Let’s not talk about Garnett’s failed Dream Team journey, let’s talk about Kobe.

Although he was proud of the golf course, he ushered in the most frustrating summer in his life.

He broke up with his family for a Latina woman and switched from Adidas to Nike.

He cut through the mess with a sharp knife and cut through the past.

The gossipy nature of the media was fully exposed on Kobe.

They don't care about what Kobe is like as a player, but they are very concerned about whether Kobe is qualified as a son. They are also concerned about whether the Latina woman who fascinated Kobe is as uneducated as Kobe's family said. They also want to know why Kobe is.

He wants to backstab his former agent and drive away his former partners who worked very happily with him.

The world of meditation became Kobe's sanctuary.

The more uncomfortable the real world becomes, the more Kobe needs to find peace in the world of meditation.

This made Kobe not like his previous life, where he put on a face that no one could suppress when he was rebellious. Instead, he used a calm and almost indifferent attitude, repeating again and again: "This is my private matter, and I refuse to answer."

.”

Although this answer is unkind, at least it is not annoying.

Kobe strictly abided by the red line of keeping family matters under wraps.

Putting this kind of Kobe on the court gives people an even more special feeling.

Even though Bodilloga, Wilson and Duncan have all left, his style of play remains the same.

Still mainly without the ball.

Only when the team's offense is in a deadlock will he play with the ball.

The discipline, tactical literacy, game habits and tendencies that Kobe learned from that fantastic Lakers team were all perfectly inherited into the new system.

The role remains the same, the style of play remains the same, but the number of shots increases. As a result, the efficiency does not decrease but increases. This season, Kobe's average data reached 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

Lakers new coach Larry Bird said: "Kobe reminds me of Michael Jordan in 1993."

As we all know, 1993 was the year when Jordan reached perfection in all aspects and was the most balanced and perfect year in terms of overall abilities.

However, the changes in the team and the failure to win the championship made Jordan give up that style of play.

And Kobe has never failed.

He won the championship in his first season in the league.

He used this style of play to help the team win four consecutive championships. There is no reason not to stick to it.

Garnett is still the same. After developing the three-pointer, his offensive tendency became more and more outside. Now he has become the team's top insider. The desire he has suppressed for many years finally burst out. This season, he averaged 23 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

, partnered with Malone, who did more blue-collar work, averaging 16 points and 6 rebounds per game.

The two young stars did not let themselves go. Overall, the Lakers, who still have the strongest team in the league, showed their due strength.

Although the Mavericks' three European giants performed brilliantly, the Lakers still won the game with an 11-point advantage due to their overall strength.

Kobe Bryant, who scored 35 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, was selected as the best player tonight.

"We will not be swayed by anything until we achieve our goal of five consecutive championships."

Kobe said calmly to the reporters at the scene.

Magic was overjoyed after watching it: "Kobe is really amazing! With him and KG, we have a chance to win the Lakers' fifth consecutive championship!"

Louis looked at Ranbir with a smile, "Bill, how are you doing lately?"

Ranbir laughed self-deprecatingly: "Let's not talk about me tonight."
