The rest is just noise

"The NBA in 1984 was like this. Larry O'Brien resigned as president in November last year. Although the candidate for the new president has not yet been announced, everyone knows that David Stern is the only reliable one.

The successor. Only he can satisfy most of the bosses’ demands.

The league has solved the problem of ever-expanding wages. Labor and management have reached an agreement and creatively introduced the salary cap policy. At the same time, the problem of exclusive products has been attacked with unprecedented intensity. The NBA has begun to become a popular league that white people like.

Larry, black people like Magic, and Celtics head coach Little Lu is influencing professional basketball in a unique way.

He has both good and bad opinions. Those who appreciate him, such as New York Knicks president Sonny Weblin, bluntly said that Louis as a head coach is like Larry Bird who just entered the league. And those who oppose him say

, even those who don’t like him, such as Mavericks head coach Dick Motta, Knicks head coach Hubie Brown... They think Little Lu’s age and professional basketball resume are not enough for him to coach in the NBA. However,

, a few months have passed, and the Celtics have only lost three games. They have a chance to refresh the previous record. This same team only won 56 wins under Bill Fitch last year.

Last night, they slaughtered the Mavericks with an 81-point advantage, and Little Lu said that "the Mavericks have earned his respect." Well, I have to admit that Little Lu has a different view of respect than ordinary people, but I believe that from Dick Mo

"Every Dallasite has a deeper perspective on last night's game." - Bob Ryan of The Boston Globe.

When the Celtics left Dallas, some fans threw eggs at them.

Louis was thankful that at least they were just smashing eggs instead of drawing guns and shooting.

"It's all your fault. You beat others by so many points. If it were me, I would smash your eggs!" Louis took advantage of others and behaved like a textbook.

Bird didn't bother to talk to him and opened a bottle of Heineken on the bus.

"Larry, you'd better drink less." Louis reminded.

Bird rolled his eyes at him. Although drinking beer is much healthier for contemporary players than smoking cigarettes, in the 1970s, alcoholism was not even a problem for players.

But Louis comes from a more professional era in the NBA.

"Unless you quit coke, don't worry about what I drink." Bird said heartily.

Louis said: "You know I couldn't give up Coke even if I went crazy and switched to Pepsi."

"So you drink your spermicidal water⑴, and I drink my oral liquid, and we are not in conflict with each other." Bird said intoxicatedly.

Louis could only say that Bird, like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, never reached his peak.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's mental state has never reached its peak, while Bird's various bad habits have caused his physical state to never reach its peak.

He injured his shooting hand before he even entered the NBA, and was advised by the team doctor to get a disability certificate. He ate and drank excessively during the offseason, no matter during the season or at any time.

This kind of living habit is really not worth promoting.

Louis looked at the other people on the bus boredly.

He likes to do this. Based on everyone's mental state, he can roughly guess what they did last night.

Apparently, they did nothing yesterday.

After defeating the Mavericks by 81 points, it was difficult to ensure safety for Celtics players walking on the streets of Dallas, so they sensibly stayed in the hotel without leaving the house.

The egg crumbs on the bus glass proved that Dallas' hatred for them existed and that not going out to celebrate was the right decision.

As a result of everyone staying in the hotel, everyone went to bed early, so they were quite energetic on the bus.

"Isiah, what are you looking at?" M.L. Carr asked.

Thomas lowered the paper, "The Dallas Morning News."

"Yin Chui Si Ting." Karl asked with a smile, "Why are they scolding us?"

"No, they didn't scold us, and they admitted the gap between us very generously, especially the gap between coach Motta and coach Lu." Thomas said, "They thought that every move made by coach Motta was guessed by coach Lu.

arrive."

"Of course, our coach is omniscient and omnipotent!" Laimbeer may have had a good rest last night and was in good spirits. Louis didn't even throw a bone at him, but he actually started licking it himself.

Louis looked at K.C strangely, "Something's wrong today. Dogs can even speak human language."

"But..." Thomas maintained a smile that was difficult to offend, "According to this newspaper, it seems that we only had white players on the field yesterday, and I didn't see any black people inside."

Cowens felt uncomfortable hearing this: "What's so strange about this?"

"Did all the 160 points yesterday come from white people?" Thomas sarcastically said, "Ralph also scored 36 points, but I didn't see his name; John scored 34 points, but I still didn't see his name.

;I won’t say that I scored 19 points and 10 assists, they didn’t mention me the whole time.”

Cowens glanced at the newspaper and said, "If your eyes are fine, you should be able to see that you and Larry are in a prominent position in the picture accompanying the news."

"That's the problem. People in Dallas shouldn't be colorblind. I and others have done a good job. They also put this picture in the newspaper. Why don't I or other black people appear in the news?" Thomas asked dissatisfiedly.

Louis turned back impatiently: "Instead of embarrassing Dahong there, why don't you ask our driver to turn around and go to the headquarters of the Morning News and ask them why they don't write a special report for you or other black people. You can make such a request. If

If you don’t want to go, just shut up.”

"We put in as much effort to win, but the media selectively ignores us, and we can't even complain?" Thomas asked.

"You're not talking about just a few words. No one on this bus can get the media to write a feature article for you or anyone else. What you're talking about here is just making other people on the bus feel as bad as you are.

Other effects.”

As soon as Louis finished speaking, Bird burped.

"What's wrong with the media ignoring you?" Bird didn't even open his eyes. "Will Reid deduct money from you because of this? Or will our coaches not give you playing time because of this?"

As soon as Bird finished speaking, Laimbeer spat out feces with his mouth: "Isiah, if you really want to attract other people's attention, you can choose to bleach your skin. By then you will definitely be a celebrity in the United States, hehe.

.”

"Are you fucking speaking human language?" Karl looked even more anxious than Thomas.

"Hey, he is the one complaining about not being paid attention to. Doesn't he mean that the media only pays attention to white people?" Ranbir said harshly, "He should be grateful that he was born in this era, when medical technology can make black people become

White people can also turn white people into black people. If you want attention, then stop being black."

Maxwell shouted: "Why can't black people get as much attention as white people?"

"Don't misinterpret my words. It was Isiah who said that the media only pays attention to white people, so why don't I suggest that he bleach his skin and become a white person?" Ranbir is the meanest and most vulnerable person Louis has ever seen.

The most uncomfortable existence.

He seems to live just to make others unhappy.

"Shut up!" Louis shouted.

K.C felt the sharp decline in the atmosphere on the bus, which was why he didn't dare to take over the team in the first place.

Not to mention how to arrange the positioning of players, how to satisfy the majority of people and settle down the few who are dissatisfied.

Skin color issues are so difficult.

Bird is undoubtedly the star of the Celtics, and Thomas is eager to build on his reputation in Boston.

However, as the season progressed, the media's praise of Bird became more exaggerated.

But in fact, there seems to be a force behind this public opinion.

Like the Magic Johnson of the West Coast.

Public opinion is electing Bird and Magic as representatives of two skin colors.

Not only were the black people around Bird ignored, but the white players around Magic were also ignored.

They happen to represent the two teams with the strongest historical grievances, located in different divisions.

Once they meet in the finals, it will be a battle between Mars and Earth.

The problem is, not only are the other ethnic groups around them ignored, but players of the same ethnic group are also ignored.

Laimbeer is notorious, and people like Ainge and John Paxson are not well known unless they are Celtics fans.

Magic's teammates publicly complained a few years ago about the excessive media attention on him.

The problem is that Magic proved himself in 1982, and his teammates have no doubts about him. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is old and can accept the transfer of power, but Thomas next to Bird is of the same age.

Moreover, he is sensitive and craves attention.

At present, Louis has relatively stable control over Thomas. He only dares to play side games and does not dare to make big moves.

But the emotions in his heart were not vented.

K.C also doesn’t know how this matter will develop in the end.

Louis sat in silence, his mood just like everyone else on the bus, complicated and unspeakable.

"Uh~~~"

Bird burped again, he was the only one who felt at ease.
