The rest is just noise

"Okay, stop crying!"

"T﹏T!"

"Stop crying like a sissy!" Louis was upset by Robinson's cry.

Robinson wiped away tears and said: "If I were five years younger and anyone dared to call me a sissy, I would send him to the hospital!"

"If you shed one fucking tear in front of me again, I'll send you to the hospital right now! Stop fucking crying!"

Robinson barely stopped his tears. He didn't know why Louis was so cruel. Did this man have no empathy at all?

After Louis waited for his emotions to calm down, he asked: "I see that you have been training very hard recently. Although your body is not as good as when you were young, you are good at rebounding. I have looked at this team and there is no one better than you."

Can rebound."

As soon as Louis praised him, he became a little embarrassed: "Back then, Karim was most afraid of competing with me and called me a caterpillar!"

"It's great."

"But I am now"

Although Louis doesn't think Robinson will be a key player, he doesn't want him to retire just yet.

The Knicks' inside line is thin enough. Even if it's bad, it still has to be like art. Just like rapping can be as beautiful as writing poetry.

Louis didn't want him to show off like "What are you looking at, 6, follow me and take a walk", so if you have the energy to save it, count it one by one.

"I admit that you can't play many high-confrontation games now, but your experience and skills are very important to the young people in the team."

Louis called him into the room and asked: "Have you never thought about life after retirement, Truk?"

"After retirement?"

"Yes, you can't just think about retirement without thinking about what to do after retirement, otherwise I'm sure you will regret it when you wake up tomorrow."

Louis' words made Robinson think deeply.

Louis got himself a bottle of Coke and him a bottle of beer.

"No, coach, I drink Coke."

Louis had to change his drink to Coke.

Robinson stared at the Coke, pondered for a while and said: "I really haven't thought about what I will do after retirement. Coach, what do you think I can do?"

"According to my observation, you have a very keen sense of defensive rebounds." Louis believes that the reason why Robinson cannot grab offensive rebounds is not because his sense of smell is limited to defensive rebounds, but because his body and physical fitness cannot support him.

Go hit the offensive rebound.

Robinson was very excited to meet his close friend: "Coach, you are right, this is really my proudest skill!"

"Maybe, I mean maybe, if you know this and why, you can become a coach after retirement and teach young players how to rebound."

Louis is planning for the future. His team has a shooting coach, a wing coach (Tomjanovich), a psychological guru, a data controller and an observer, but he also needs an inside coach.

"I don't know if I can teach him well" is what Robinson is worried about, and what Louis wants to know the answer to.

Louis pointed him in the direction: "That's why I said you can't retire now, you should finish this season. If you can't bear the intensity of the game, I can let you rest and reduce your playing time, but you have to finish it."

This season, not only as a player, but also as a probationary interior coach, if you can teach the young people on the team how to block and grab rebounds, I guarantee that after you retire, I will give you a stable long-term job.

Work."

Robinson only had one question left: "Who should I teach? Pat is definitely not willing to let me teach him. That guy is very arrogant."

"Ken Bannister, just teach him." Louis smiled, "He is this year's rookie and was only selected in the seventh round. He is very humble."

Robinson was overjoyed: "Sparrow is right! With Coach Lu here, the Knicks will have hope! With Coach Lu here, the future of New York basketball will be secure!"

The macho man who was crying just now suddenly knelt down and started licking her. Louis was a little shy.

But why, why does he continue to talk? He can obviously stop talking, but why doesn't he understand that the best quality of a person is to control his mouth properly? Silence is golden.

Truk Robinson took a sip of Coke and shook his head: "No, I think Pepsi tastes better."

What followed was a deathly silence that lasted five seconds.

Robinson saw Louis' cheerful face just before the clear sky, and in an instant it turned into a Category 15 typhoon.

"You ignorant old man, get out of my room right now!"

Robinson turned from a guest to a lost dog, and was kicked out by Louis.

From then on, he understood that he could not mention Pepsi in front of Louis, and he should always remember one thing: Coca-Cola is the most embarrassing!

In early October, the Knicks' preseason training camp at Hofstra University didn't end perfectly.

Louis was very sad that they lost one of their generals during the one-month training camp.

Bill Cartwright, when healthy, can at least be traded for a top-five draft pick. Now that he is good, whether he can be traded for a top-10 pick depends on his recovery.

In this year's preseason, due to Cartwright's unexpected reimbursement, several of the Knicks' fringe players tended to stay inside.

So, two people stand out.

One is the Knicks' sixth-round pick this year, Eddie Lee Williams (EddieLeeWilkinsPF/C).

The other is undrafted Ron Cavenall (CavenallC). This guy is 216 centimeters tall, moves slowly, and has a certain back-up ability. He can be regarded as Cartwright's replacement.

It's probably the same level of difference as having Eric Tsang replace Tony Leung in an idol drama.

"Looking at you, I miss Bill more and more." Louis took a breath, "Don't get me wrong, I am referring to Bill Laimbeer, not the guy who disobeys the doctor's orders."

"That guy broke his leg because he was not responsible for himself. The only lesson he left us is to listen to the doctor."

Louis clapped his hands and said to everyone: "We have no goals this season. I have only one request for you. Play every minute of the game. Opportunities are hard to come by. It is difficult for you to join a team that has no requirements for results and is eager to

A savior team has emerged."

"Coach, aren't you the savior?" Cummings asked.

"QTMD!" Louis cursed, "Whoever wants to be this **** savior, I don't deserve it."

Bernard King got his chance: "The Savior has finished speaking, and everyone applauds!"

"Pa bang bang~"

Louis originally wanted to interrupt them, but then the applause became more and more enthusiastic. He changed from shy like Risa Tachibana's career debut to rough like Rei Kitajima, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your support! As a person who doesn't plan to

The savior who saves the world, thank you all!"

Phil Jackson wanted to scratch his head: "Has he always been such a childish person?"

"Just get used to it," Tomjanovich said.

"Where is Zhao?" Jackson looked around, "I haven't seen him for several days."

"Business trip."

Sharif is the most familiar with Zhao Yuanzheng, and he is a little worried about him: "Poor guy, he has to go on a business trip while still on probation."

Jackson echoed a few words, expressing regret for Zhao Yuanzheng's situation.

Tomjanovich doesn't think so, and that's a good thing.

At first, Louis treated him like a bully, traveling frequently and scouting everywhere. Now, he is Louis' chief assistant.

Tomjanovich now looks back and thinks that those outings that made him miserable made him a professional coach.

That is the basic skill of a coach.

Every coach should start from the very basics. Some people who become coaches as soon as they retire are either geniuses who are self-taught, or idiots who are experts at destroying the team.

After the Knicks returned to New York, they disbanded on the spot, and Louis gave the entire team a day and a half off.

During the holidays, he basically stayed with Lorraine at home.

After the holiday, the Knicks played six preseason games away from home.

In these six games, Louis basically used the trial lineup. Bernard King played an average of 29 minutes and scored 24 points.

With the intensity of the preseason, he was able to score as much as he could.

The Knicks have 4 wins and 2 losses, which looks pretty good.

However, even fans know that the intensity of preseason games cannot be taken seriously.

The Knicks' first game of the new season is scheduled for October 27, against the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons are a strong team, with the level of the top four in the Eastern Conference.

When the Knicks play against them, under normal circumstances, they would win if they lose less.

But before the game started, their opponent's opponent created a favorable condition for them.

Before the game against the Knicks, the Pistons played a game against the defending champion Celtics.

The Celtics, who have changed their head coach, are still terrifyingly strong. Louis has laid down the foundation. K.C. Jones doesn't need to change anything. As long as he continues his predecessor's tactics, the team's competitiveness can be guaranteed.

Moreover, the Celtics also acquired Jim Peterson, a dynamic young insider, during the offseason.

They have the first player in the league, the first center in the league, the second point guard in the league, the first dirty lineup in the league, the first offensive space in the league, and the second deepest lineup in the league.

The Celtics had no dead ends in their two consecutive victories and slaughtered the Pistons with 30 points, 140-110.

So much so, that when Chuck Daly met Louis at MSG, his first words were: "You coming from Boston to New York is the worst transfer I have ever seen."
