The rest is just noise
Chapter 218: The End of March Madness
When getting out of the taxi, Bird did something stupid.
He attempted to bribe the driver to change his faith and convert to the Cult of the Great Bird.
His method worked, but the problem was that the tip was too small.
If you want people to change your faith verbally, you have to pay at least double the fare, right?
The money Bird gave, even as a tip, was not much, it was only 1/10 more of the fare...
"Do you think I'm begging for food, idiot!" The driver scolded Bird and drove away.
Louis looked at the taxi going away and said to Bird: "If he is smart enough, the benefits of telling the media about this will definitely be far greater than the charity money you give him."
"What charity money?" Bird, like Louis, is a stingy man who is very cautious about money. "That's a tip!"
Louis smiled and said: "Generally speaking, it is very easy for people like him to support you verbally and oppose you in their hearts. But he is not even willing to make this gesture. He can only say that you gave him
The money was a bit short, so it was a charity, not a tip, so no wonder he was so angry."
"I didn't have to pay even one cent more!" Bird said confidently.
Louis clapped his hands and mocked Larry Bird, the little financial expert.
Bird was so angry that he strode into the hotel.
Louis followed up and said: "If you still feel uncomfortable when you wake up tomorrow, you don't need to participate in training."
"You think I'm a pussy?"
"I'm not..."
"If you have a cramp and can't get better even after waking up, then what is it if you're not a sissy?"
"...No, country bumpkin, the driver offended you, but I didn't offend you, right? If you're angry, don't come at me." Louis said innocently, "I support you."
First, Louis called him a bumpkin again.
Then he actually licked his face and said, "I haven't offended you"? Even the team doctor was dizzy after hearing this.
There is only one person in the Celtics who gives Bird trouble all day long, and this person doesn't even know it.
Bird was so angry that he couldn't speak. He strode forward, and the cramp in his thigh could no longer be seen.
Louis could see the anger in his vigorous steps.
He asked in confusion: "Is there something wrong with this person?"
The team doctor shook his head and sighed, the daily interaction between the two was like a "Pride and Prejudice" without love.
The journey to the Western Conference that lasted for half a month is over, and the Celtics happily return to their home court.
Louis encountered another problem in his life.
Lorraine's belly has swelled slightly. Although it is not obvious yet, sooner or later it will be unbearable if it continues like this.
He chose the right moment to confess to his mother.
When Li Xuanbing heard that Lorraine was pregnant, she had an expected expression on her face: "I'm telling you, sooner or later you will fall into the hands of this little fox!"
Li Xuanbing was not surprised by this result, which surprised Louis. The problem was that it took him several months to confess to his mother.
This was unacceptable to her old man: "Okay! Once you grow up and your wings harden, you can tell me nothing, right?"
Explanations were useless, the only thing Louis had to do was apologize, and then follow her instructions and take Lorraine home from the apartment.
This is another disagreement between Li Xuanbing and Lorraine.
The older generation regards pregnant women as more fragile than crystal glass. They cannot touch this or that for fear of disturbing the fetus.
Lorraine has obvious marks of a Western woman. She gives birth today and can go to work next week with her baby in her arms. Moreover, she is used to living in her own apartment.
Things didn't work out, and Louis was the one who worked hard.
As long as others are in Boston, they have to work three shifts.
Go home, go to work at Hellenic College, go to Lorraine's apartment.
The NCAA is in full swing, and the Celtics' state has had some ups and downs in March.
Doesn't seem to have recovered from the tiring journey.
The Philadelphia 76ers beat them again, and they are the only team to beat the Celtics twice this season.
There are few teams like them that can compete with the Celtics in terms of athleticism, stronger defense, and obvious offensive rebounding advantage.
In terms of style of play, the 76ers are somewhat restrained by the Celtics.
The Celtics are the best team at grabbing defensive rebounds, while the 76ers are the best team at grabbing offensive rebounds.
But Louis never regarded the 76ers as an obstacle to breaking out of the Eastern Conference.
All the games he lost were lost under circumstances he could predict.
Sometimes, as soon as the game starts, Louis sees that the team is in extremely bad shape and feels that the game is not winnable.
In games that give him this feeling, the Celtics' winning rate is only 50%.
Sometimes, he loses his desire to win.
Losing is also a way to relieve stress for the Celtics.
Because winning all the time brings baggage, and losing the game is equivalent to throwing away the baggage of a winning streak and starting over. Their strength is still there, and their record is still very dominant. The problem is their mental health.
Louis wants everyone to travel light.
Against the 76ers, both sides fought hard for two overtimes.
Billy Cunningham was playing crazy defensive intensity, and the two core players, Moses Malone and Dr. J, had not rested since the fourth quarter and played the entire last quarter and two overtimes.
Unlike Cunningham, Louis will pay attention to controlling the players' playing time.
This is also the reason why the Celtics have experienced some minor injuries for most of the season, but they have never had major injuries.
Under the fighting spirit of the two head coaches and the coaching staff, the 76ers exerted defensive pressure and intensity that no other club in the league can achieve.
Finally, the Celtics misfired in the second overtime.
Boston killer Andrew Toney scored 7 points in a row to help them seal the victory.
After the game, Cunningham said: "This is a testament to courage. Although the Celtics are very dominant, they are not the strongest."
Louis said lightly: "I can't wait to play the next game."
The Celtics' next opponent is the poor Washington Bullets.
The Bullets know that the Celtics don't want to lose in a row, and the loss to the 76ers still makes them angry.
They knew something was about to happen to them, but they couldn't stop it.
The Celtics scored 140 points against the Bullets, a 50-point bloodbath that made the New Jersey Nets, who were about to play against them, tremble.
They immediately started an unstoppable winning streak.
The winning streak ended on March 31 against the Bucks.
Another team that likes to fight hard won the game from the Celtics.
The regular season is coming to an end, and the Celtics are leading the record list. No matter how dissatisfied people are with Louis, they have to admit his ability.
Currently, the Celtics rank first in the league with a record of 67 wins and 8 losses.
There are still seven games left until the end of the season. They not only have the opportunity to refresh the best regular season record in Celtics history, but also have the opportunity to set a new regular season win record, which Bill Fitch has never achieved.
past areas.
A new coach, with the staff largely unchanged, leads a team that only won 50+ games last season to a regular season record. No matter what his reputation is, he is making history.
"Sports Illustrated" found the Celtics again. They knew that this team was about to make history, so they wanted their writers to go with them to the away games to collect records. They would write a long article after the regular season. Article commemorating the Celtics' regular season trip.
If you want to write about the Celtics' regular season, Louis is definitely a figure that cannot be ignored, so this will be another article that gives him a lot of space.
"Sports Illustrated" is the most professional sports magazine today.
Their articles have been circulated by countless fans, and there are two personal articles in one season. They also appear as villains or important roles in many articles. This has a significant publicity effect on Louis' popularity among fans.
Then, the league ushered in a few days of offseason.
Because the NCAA's March Madness has come to an end, the national finals will be held in Seattle on April 2.
This year's finals have attracted much attention. Two centers destined to achieve greatness each led their teams to the finals.
University of Houston vs. Georgetown University
Olajuwon and Ewing, anyone who pays attention to basketball cannot fail to hear their names.
Almost every NBA team sent people to watch the game. Some bad teams that were determined to get the top five picks even had their general managers and head coaches go there in person.
On that day, Auerbach happened to be going back to Washington to visit his family and watch the game. Louis took another ride.
While he has a rough idea of what Olajuwon and Ewing will accomplish in the future, he's still interested in this epic matchup.
This is the most exciting college basketball game after the mythical battle between Magic and Bird.
A freak that has never been seen before at the center position, and a Bill Russell who is praised as being taller and full of offensive power.
This kind of game really shouldn't be missed.
Louis went with the idea of on-site inspection of Ewing and Olajuwon, because they will enter the league in the next two years.
It is necessary to understand their situation in advance.
