The rest is just noise

At the end of August, Louis officially gave Zhao Yuanzheng a contract before the end of the training camp, but there was a three-month trial period.

What moved him was Zhao Yuanzheng's paper.

The title of Zhao Yuanzheng's thesis is "On the long-term impact of three-pointers and half-court space on basketball."

He pointed out very clearly that three-pointers are the future of basketball and presented a vivid concept.

If four John Longs are placed next to Magic, maybe he can also lead the team to win the championship.

This standard one-star, four-shot theory actually appeared in the 1984 paper. Even though he lacked basic technical reserves for basketball, Louis believed that he understood the sport of basketball.

Just like many people who don't play ball, they still talk about the game in a clear and logical manner.

In September, the Knicks' preseason training camp was held at Hofstra University.

Before Louis left home, he spent a few days with Lorraine.

Her mood has been unstable recently, and she often loses her temper for no apparent reason. Li Xuanbing said that this is a normal phenomenon. Women will have unstable moods in the later stages of pregnancy, and it would be better to comfort and coax her more.

But now that Louis is about to leave home for a month, he is not sure whether his mother can take care of it alone.

So he asked a nanny to help despite Li Xuanbing's clear objection.

Before leaving, Lorraine helped him prepare some spiritual clothes.

"Don't move." Louis didn't want her to help, "You should rest more now."

"There are still two or three months left!" Lorraine put Louis' clothes aside, "Before going out, do you want to submit another 'homework'?"

"No, I'm afraid my Optimus Prime will hurt you."

"snort!"

"Why hum? It's not like you haven't seen my 'power' before."

Lorraine asked resentfully: "Then if you don't 'hand in your homework' properly here, will you 'make up' it outside?"

"You can rest assured about this. I have sworn an oath. Unless a woman who is more beautiful and sexier than you seduce me, I will be absolutely loyal. I will never 'make up' homework, and I won't even 'study on my own'

'There are very few, but occasionally I can go to a nightclub to do some 'reading comprehension'."

Lorraine laughed so hard, "How could you say such shameless words!"

"You underestimated me, didn't you?" Louis said proudly.

"Why!"

Lorraine suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

"The baby kicked me."

Louis quickly squatted down and put his ear to Lorraine's belly: "He seems to have stopped kicking."

"Why him? Can't it be her?"

"It will be all right."

"Have you thought of a name yet?"

"Of course!" Louis chose a unisex name, "Lu Wuxia."

"WUXIA?"

"Um."

Lorraine asked curiously: "What does it mean specifically?"

"The Chinese means perfect and without flaws." Louis said.

"What about the English name?"

"I am very democratic. I will choose the Chinese name and leave the English name to you, Malena."

This name has a lot of origins. In his spare time before Louis traveled through time, he would play a stand-alone game called Guigu Bahuang. He met an NPC in it called "The Fifth Flaw". He fell in love with it as soon as he saw it.

This name makes me wish I could give my own child this name.

However, his surname was Lu in his previous life.

The surname Lu does not match this word, and the road is different.

He had been thinking about this name for several months. The good thing was that it was unisex and it was great not to have to think of two names at the same time.

Louis prepared two sets of formal suits, ten sets of casual suits, twenty pairs of underwear, a credit card, and a first aid kit, which was enough.

Before leaving, Lorraine gave him a long, passionate kiss.

If the time had not run out, the war of words might have continued.

"I will miss you." Lorraine said reluctantly.

She looked very fragile, and my mother was right. Women at this stage of pregnancy are both irritable and dependent on their husbands like a child on its parents.

Although Louis and her are not married yet, they are not much different.

"I'll call you every day," Louis said.

Lorraine said: "Two phone calls a day."

"good."

Just as Louis was about to leave, Li Xuanbing coughed a few times.

"What's wrong? Now that you have a wife, you won't say goodbye to me, right?"

Louis had no choice but to turn around and say, "Mom, take care of yourself."

"get out!"

"OK."

Louis quickly got into his car, drove to the Blue Palace, met up with the team, and got on the bus to Hofstra University, a journey of about 29 miles (46 kilometers).

The bus moved forward at a steady speed, and 40 minutes later, the entire Knicks team arrived at Hofstra University.

Those on the bus are all the team's official players, employees, and coaching staff. Other players who want to compete for official quotas come here through other channels.

The Knicks booked a room at a nearby hotel, trained during the day, and returned to the hotel to rest at night.

As Louis got off the bus, he looked face to face with Bernard King.

Louis vaguely remembered King swearing after last season's All-Star Game that he would never play for him again, which was embarrassing now.

Jin would never have imagined that the God of Destiny would make such a joke on him.

Although they met, they had no communication.

"He definitely thought about what he said," Tomjanovich quipped.

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Yuanzheng asked.

"Bernard swore he would never play for the road," Tomjanovich laughed.

Phil Jackson felt that his task had come: "Do you need me to mediate?"

Louis refused: "No, Phil, this matter is very complicated, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you."

"I can try." Jackson insisted, minding his own business.

"Okay, then please help me tell Bernard." Louis picked up his luggage and smiled, "I have forgiven him."

As soon as Louis finished speaking, the expression on Tomjanovich's face was wonderful.

"Okay, I will definitely bring the words to you." Jackson seemed not to know what happened between Louis and Jin.

Tomjanovich stood up quickly: "My Jesus Christ! Phil, please don't!"

"What is the problem?"

"Wait for me, I'll tell you slowly."

Zhao Yuanzheng glanced at Sharif, who had a subtle expression: "Can it be done?"

"How should I put it? It feels like watching the Hindenburg take off." Sharif said pessimistically.

When Louis got off the bus, he paid attention to Bill Cartwright: "How is the physical examination?"

"No, the doctor said my bones are fragile and I should rest more." Cartwright said with great disdain, "That's fucking bullshit. I'm in good health! I am the strongest man in the world!"

Louis hopes he is right and Cartwright is the representative of the second-line center.

It can’t be regarded as a Dinghai magic needle, but it is very useful, has height, offensive ability, defense, and can grab rebounds. However, the style of play is ugly and it will affect your appetite if you watch it too much.

For the sake of physical and mental health, it is better to trade him as soon as possible.

"I think you are too." Louis agreed with him and prayed for him in his heart.

I hope this idiot who didn't follow the doctor's advice will be punished later.

Like other players, Louis first checked into a hotel near Hofstra University.

Put your things away and prepare for today's training.

Phil Jackson knocked on Bernard King's door with confidence. Tomjanovich warned him repeatedly, but he did not believe that any player was unreasonable. Even if there were, he could explain the reason clearly.

"Bernard, are you taking a rest?" Jackson deliberately used a nickname to bring them closer.

Kim said: "No, I'm ready to start training."

"Before that, let's have a chat."

Jin knew that Jackson was a famous Knicks player, but he still respected him: "Okay."

"I heard that you and Coach Lu had some misunderstandings?" Jackson chose his words carefully.

"Misunderstanding?" Jin sneered, "Don't be ridiculous! That's not a misunderstanding!"

Jackson could see that King still had resentment in his heart, but he wanted King to understand that Louis was the Knicks' head coach and could not be changed.

"No matter what happened to you before, now, he is the head coach of the team, and you have to play for him." Seeing Jin's silence, Jackson felt that his words were effective, so he continued, "Even if you are against him

There are a lot of dissatisfactions, but you have to admit that he is a talented coach and his results with the Celtics last season are very convincing."

Jin nodded slightly.

"So, you might as well follow the story of Bill Sharman coming to Los Angeles in 1971. You know what? Sharman ravaged Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain countless times when he was playing for the Celtics, but they

They are still willing to play for him because they know that Sharman knows the secret of victory."

"Do you want to win, Bernard?"

Jin nodded slightly.

"Then just listen to him."

King was finally persuaded by Jackson, and his hatred and disgust for Louis have not diminished at all, but for the sake of supreme victory, perhaps personal grudges can be put aside, right?

"I'm going to try to get along with him," King said.

"That's right." Jackson patted his shoulder to further draw him closer to the King of New York, "By the way, Coach Lu also asked me to give you a message."

"What words?"

"He has forgiven you."

In an instant, Bernard King's furious fire rushed to his skull, and he almost broke Phil Jackson's glasses with his fist.
