The rest is just noise

"You coming from Boston to New York was the worst transfer I've ever seen."

Louis said without embarrassment: "Rather than continuing to lead that team, I hope to lead a rebuilding team to rise and defeat them again."

Dailey laughed heartily as if he had heard something funny.

"That's how Dave DeBusschere convinced you?"

"No, actually I comfort myself like this."

"Did you make it?"

"General effect."

Daley laughed again, probably Louis was a joke in his eyes.

"However, I'm surprised that you haven't made any adjustments to the team's lineup." Louis said before breaking up with Daley, "This group of people can't do it."

Before Daley could ask Louis why his group of people couldn't do it, Louis turned back.

Daley was thinking at the time, no matter how bad these people were, it shouldn't be a problem to beat the Knicks by 20 points.

Louis didn't have as many ideas as he did. The Knicks were going to be ruined. If they lost, it would be what they wanted. If they won, it would be an unexpected gain. He was the one who "earned" it anyway. He was about to make a fortune.

Before the game started, Louis said hello to tonight's referee.

There was an old acquaintance, Hugh Evans.

Louis praised him as the best home referee in the league because he always knew how to take care of the home team. As long as it was at his home court, Louis liked him.

Evans said coldly: "I won't take advantage of you because of this."

"Of course you can't. Who told you to be the best home referee?" Louis said sincerely, with an excitement of "You can, you will definitely do it" on his face.

Evans' deputy is a stranger named Bill Saar. He always smiles peacefully and seems to be an easy referee to deal with.

After the pre-opening warm-up, Louis assembled his.

Roy Sparrow, Trunk Tucker, Bernard King, Pat Cummings, Ken Bannister.

Seeing these five people, how can you have any expectations for the Knicks' season prospects? Especially after coaching Thomas, Long, Bird, Sampson, and Laimbeer, I only have one idea when I see this lineup.

Why did I come here to draw this picture?

Louis said at the end of training camp that the Knicks would not be consistent this season.

Apart from Bernard King and Cummings, no one's position is secure.

Some people think that their position is as stable as an old dog, but they end up failing.

So people showed obvious dissatisfaction, such as Darnell Walker.

As a shooting guard with a height of 193 centimeters, Louis did not value his talent because he was a breakthrough-oriented guard who was not good at long shots. He played like a superstar, but his efficiency was too low.

Moreover, his draft pick was the 12th pick in the first round, not the 13th pick in the first round.

Louis didn't even have the chance to be superstitious.

On the other hand, the Pistons' paper lineup is much better than the Knicks'.

Their lineup hasn't changed much in the offseason.

Louis didn't know what the Pistons were thinking. Today, the two super teams of the Celtics and Lakers are in power. If you want to compete with them, you must be armed to the teeth.

Even if the staffing is not comparable, it is better to find a group of thugs to polish the skin than to maintain the status quo.

But I have to say that this lineup is strong enough for the Knicks.

In the opening jump ball, neither side had an absolute advantage inside.

Cummings' and Parish's hands touched the ball at the same time.

Parrish did one better and tipped the ball back to his teammate.

In an instant, Vinyl Johnson dribbled the ball into the undefended basket and scored with a left-hand to right-hand shot in the air.

"The Knicks' defense seems to lack the ferocity to uproot opponents."

Knicks home commentator Buth Beard said.

His partner and commentator Marv Albert added: "It seems that even Little Lu can't make a team with poor defense find motivation."

The Knicks came up with a two-inside and three-out position.

Cartwright was out for the season, and his replacement in the low post was Pat Cummings.

Tonight, Cummings asserts his position.

Judging from his position and momentum alone, he is much stronger than the team boss Bernard King.

If Louis is the ball carrier, he will definitely not pass the ball.

So soft and has no temper at all.

Jin's weakness is understandable. If Louis knew that he would have to work for others for the next whole year, he would not be able to muster any motivation.

Cummings showed a sense of ownership when he got the ball and took strides to attack the basket.

He was really fierce, causing a lot of body contact and then fell to the ground. He screamed and the referee Evans gave the whistle.

"As expected of Hugh, I really saw him right!" Louis said happily, "One dares to shout, and the other dares to blow!"

Tomjanovich joked: "This is called milk for a crying child."

Cummings was very excited at the start of the game today. Looking at his momentum as he hit the basket, I felt like he didn't take the Pistons' inside attention seriously.

The Pistons probably didn't take the Knicks seriously and played very sloppily, even making alley-oop passes from outside and Worthy's coordination of catching and picking baskets.

It's not impossible to play with flowers, but the success rate must be ensured.

Flashiness is a taboo.

Worthy missed the alley-oop basket. Bannister grabbed the rebound and passed it to Sparrow.

The Knicks, a bunch of unknowns, played a brilliant counterattack.

The Pistons' scoring basically relies on Vinyl Johnson.

He is the only one in the Pistons who has found his form, holding the ball in the high post and scoring in the face of Sparrow's defense.

There's a reason why he was called a microwave oven. He felt hot very quickly after the show started.

For the Knicks, Cummings took over the first four offenses of the opening game.

This white insider with skyrocketing confidence made a difference almost every time he took a shot, making the Pistons insider led by Parish lose his temper.

A simple low post attack actually made the Pistons fall behind.

7 to 4

Except for Vinier, no one else on the Pistons scored.

Except for Cummings and Sparrow, the Knicks did not have a third player who touched the ball on the offensive end.

"If the person who performed this kind of performance was Bernard, I would be even happier." Berold's words brought out the most fundamental point, "Pat is very good, but after all, he is not at Bernard's level."

To the disappointment of the two commentators, Jin had no intention of waking up.

Halfway through the first quarter, he didn't take any shots.

14 to 10

The Knicks led by 4 points, Louis replaced King and replaced Louis Orr.

Before the timeout ended, he summoned his players to emphasize one point: "James's state tonight is about the same as Bernard's. This is a rare opportunity. If we want to win this game, this will be a key factor."

"If he catches the ball from the outside, don't worry about him. Your task is to prevent them from breaking through. Regardless of their shots, as long as they control their shooting percentage inside the free throw line below 40%, we can win!"

Cummings asked: "Coach, do you want to win that bad?"

"You say it as if you don't want to win," Louis said.

The scary thing is that Cummings did not give Louis a clear answer: "I can do anything."

Cummings is the most mercenary-like person on this team. He has no sense of belonging or honor, and is not interested in winning or losing. As long as he can play games to improve statistics and not affect his salary, he doesn't care about other things.

He is like a scumbag, not proactive, irresponsible, and not active.

Positivity is rare tonight, but his positivity is mainly reflected in the offensive end, and his defense is much worse.

When the timeout ended, Louis did nothing but arrange his defense.

Bernard King sat bored. He played half a quarter, didn't make a single shot, and scored 0 points.

"When was the last time you had 0 points in a half quarter?" Louis asked.

Jin couldn't remember it anymore, and even if he could, he didn't want to share it with Louis.

So, he closed his eyes and didn't reply.

"I understand you. If I were you, I wouldn't want to play ball anymore." Louis felt aggrieved for Bernard King just by thinking about it.

Even if you play under the coach you hate the most, your salary will have to be paid to the other player's account for the next whole year.

It's like he works for the most annoying person, but it's still a waste of time. Where is the justice?

Through on-the-spot observation, Louis gradually discovered that several Pistons players were in a painful period of transformation.

Worthy aspires to be the core player like Magic and Bird who carries the ball and leads the team, so he will deliberately look for opportunities with his teammates.

His teammates really thought of him as Bird/Magic, so they passed the ball to him without a chance.

As a result, he lacks the means to attack unreasonably.

So he looked like he was really struggling.

Parish and Vinier supported the Pistons' inside and outside lines, but Tripka, the main firepower point on the outside, performed poorly.

Fortunately, the Knicks have Cummings playing very hard today, and his offense can offset Parish's defense.

But Vinier's activeness highlighted an embarrassment that no one in the Knicks could guard against.

Sparrow is inferior in all aspects. When switching defenses in other positions, he is always outnumbered. Sometimes Vinier is too lazy to break through, so he just pulls up and shoots.

29 to 24

After one quarter, the Pistons reversed the situation and Vinier scored 15 points in a single quarter.

"This guy is really extraordinary."

Louis is eyeing Vinyl Johnson. Apart from him, the Pistons only have Worthy and Parish, who are qualified to become the main force against super teams such as the Purple, Golden, Greencaps and other super teams.

There was a timeout between sections, and Louis rearranged the tactical board.

Chinese people all have a good start complex. Tonight is his first regular season game coaching the Knicks. He just wants to win, not lose.
