The rest is just noise

Chapter 292 The Road to Stardom

In the first month of the 1984-85 NBA season, Louis' son was born, which was just an inconspicuous thing.

Far in the west, the pioneer in Oregon, a young name, quickly captured the attention of most people.

A handful of people call him Michael Jordan, but most people have started calling him Michael Jordan.

From the day he joined the Trail Blazers, he was the core figure of the team.

The story of Larry Weinberg forcing the front office staff to select Jordan on draft day has spread throughout the sports world. Jordan has lived up to his boss's trust. Under the leadership of a rookie coach, they went 12 wins and 4 losses in the first month of the new season.

, surpassing the Lakers and temporarily ranking second in the Western Conference.

The Blazers' meritorious coach Jack Ramsey was so disheartened by Weinberg's forced selection of Jordan that he chose to resign in July.

The Trail Blazers let top assistant Rick Adelman take over as head coach without prior notice.

Adelman is not as inclined to build his team around the interior as Ramsey is.

From the day he took charge of the Trail Blazers, he decided to move closer to the Lakers and Celtics and use a super versatile wing swingman to drive the entire team's offense.

So Jordan averaged 30 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the first month of his rookie season. Clyde Drexler, who didn't get many opportunities in his rookie season, took off and averaged 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

.

Coupled with the Trail Blazers' already good team: Mychal Thompson, Jim Paxson, Fat Liver, Calvin Nutter and others, they have grown dramatically into a force that cannot be ignored.

Jordan's rise has put the Blazers' management in an awkward position.

Ramsay, who was so angry about this incident that he resigned, didn't know how to face it.

Things are changing to an interesting side. Perhaps, this Trail Blazers will replace the 1986 Rockets and provide a continuous challenge to the Lakers in the West.

After Lu Wuxia was born, Louis' life changed a lot.

For the first time, he knew that being a parent was not easy.

No, for him, this is more difficult than disciplining the Celtics last season.

There are too many things to worry about, such as diapers, baby seats, sleeping tools, spare socks, daddy, especially daddy. The last time Louis had to deal with daddy so frequently was because he had a stomachache some time.

However, for a period of time after Lu Wuxia was born, the lives of Louis and his family simply revolved around Baba.

Daddy is here. Daddy is gone. I find daddy. I smell daddy’s breath. Wait for him to pull daddy.

Louis didn't know how much time they spent on daddy since Lu Wuxia was born.

December 1st was Louis' first day back at work.

Before going out, Lorraine asked: "Are you ready to go?"

"Well," Louis asked reflexively, "has the brat pooped?"

"It seems not yet."

"Not yet? No, it's time to poop." Louis became nervous, "Is he sick?"

Lorraine told Louis to stay calm and not to panic. But Louis kept thinking about Daddy, which delayed his work time. Louis wanted to leave now, but within a few seconds, he started to miss Daddy, so he left his son and Daddy

Leave it all to Lorraine, mother and nanny. What if something really happens?

Since Lu Wuxia was born, Louis' life has been like this.

He didn't know why his life revolved around Baba, but now he knew why decades later, young people in China didn't like having children anymore.

The salary is not enough, the competition is so intense that the scalp is numb, and the overtime work without any blessings is better than the blessings. The spirit and body have been double tortured. Is it necessary to give birth to a child and continue to torture myself during the only rest time?

This matter is really worth thinking about.

Louis' return to work is not news.

Originally, the Knicks are currently in a period where they don't need a coach very much. They occupy the last position in the league and there is almost no one who can bring "pressure".

However, things are no better now than in the past. Even with the worst record, there is still no 50% number one/second pick.

Because some teams lost on purpose last year, the league abandoned the coin-flip lottery that had been in place for more than a decade.

A lottery method with special significance: the lottery lottery was introduced accordingly.

The lottery method is like this. The names of the seven teams with the worst records in the league are each written in a large envelope, and then the envelope is put into the crystal glass ball and rolled, and then Stern randomly picks out a letter and reads it.

The team name in the letter.

The probability of the team ranked first from last and seventh from last getting the No. 1 pick is the same, only 14%. Therefore, showing the worst record in the league will not increase the team's probability of getting the No. 1 pick. What can only increase the despair of the fans.

Today is December 1st. Louis returns to the team and goes on an away game together.

The away game we are going to on this trip is Chicago. They were another successful team in the 1984 draft.

The Bulls originally wanted to select Jordan, but the Trail Blazers suddenly "betrayed" and started "chaotic and then gave up" on Sam Bowie, which is disgraceful.

The Bulls were furious and launched a backup plan to acquire Charles Barkley, who had played an amazingly dominant role on the 1984 U.S. Olympic selection team.
