The rest is just noise

Massimino, the head coach of the Villanova University Wildcats, burst into tears on the spot, and the players huddled together in joy.

The Wildcats don't admit that they are Cinderella, they are the strongest competitors.

Harold Jensen, the only white man among the ten strongest men on the field, handed the game ball to 70-year-old assistant coach Jack Nevin: "This is for you, Jack."

"Everyone's talking about Georgetown! Georgetown! I've had enough!" Ed Pinckney, the Wildcats' top player, yelled excitedly, "Give me a cake!"

When Pinckney was asked if this game was the greatest game he had ever played, he angrily denied it as if he was insulted: "No, my greatest game was the one two years ago when I won

Scored 27 points and 22 rebounds.”

His eyes were very sharp. He stared at the reporter and added: "The opponent is also Georgetown."

Looking at the performance of this group of people, Louis thought of a song.

"Cat'n The Cradle" by Harry Chapin.

There are lyrics in it that go like this:

Andtheat'ntheradle,andthe private lvpoon

cat in cradle, silver spoon

Little Bo Yb eandthemanonthe touch on

Melancholy little boy, man on the moon

The Wildcats faced a team that should be remembered in basketball history, and this game stole the team's deserved place in history.

To do that, they'll need to rattle Georgetown with a zone defense.

And then shooting 78% without any rebound advantage, the premise is to know that this team's defense is unmatched by other teams in the history of the NCAA.

This is a miracle.

In addition to Ewing, Louis also discovered several good players in this game.

Pinckney, the core of the Wildcats, Dwayne McClain who held on to the ball at the end, Georgetown's entire set, especially Ewing and Reggie Williams, a sure No. 1 pick and a lottery prospect.

Louie didn't go to see Ewing. This was not a good time.

He did not go to John Thompson to reminisce about the past. He was not sure whether he could control the dissatisfaction in his heart and say those ridiculous words to him.

Thompson is the only reason why Georgetown lost the championship. Should Louis ignore this?

He was a stinky and unpleasant person to tell the truth. Considering that he didn't want to lose Thompson's friendship just yet, it was better not to see him.

That night, Louis, Tomjanovich and Zhao Yuanzheng returned to the hotel.

He asked a question that didn't seem to need to be considered: "If we get the No. 1 pick, should we draft Ewing?"

Tomjanovich laughed, thinking Louis was joking.

Will anyone take this year's No. 1 pick and not select Ewing?

The stagnation of Ewing's growth was not beyond Louis' expectation. If the Knicks got the No. 1 pick as he knew he would, why didn't he make a crazy deal with this immeasurably valuable pick?

For example, in 1985, the year of the draft that succeeded 1984, the greatest rookie was not among the top ten picks. Just like the immortal 1996 draft, the 13th pick in the first round was a magical position.

The Utah Jazz selected Karl Malone with the 13th pick in the first round.

The Knicks already have Stockton, so if they call Malone over again, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a married couple?

If Malone is selected, Louis will not have to worry about his performance in the NBA, because Malone has fully realized his talent in the period of history that he knows. He has definitely touched his ceiling and cannot be better.

Stronger⑴.

After a moment, Tomjanovich realized that Louis was serious.

"Lu, you're kidding, right?" Tomjanovich asked.

Louis raised his eyebrows flexibly and asked without saying anything: Do you think I am joking?

"Ewing does have a lot of problems, but his talent is real and hard to refuse." Zhao Yuanzheng also thought, "If we get the No. 1 pick but don't select Ewing, the consequences will be disastrous."

Yes, Louis could imagine the outcome.

The boiling public dissatisfaction will probably drive Louis out of class.

This is like the Spurs not selecting Duncan, the Cavaliers not selecting James, and the Pelicans selecting RJ Barrett with the No. 1 pick in 2019.

If the fans don't kill you, it means the locals are good-tempered.

"Forget it, don't think about it, who can say for sure what will happen in the future." Louis is still not sure whether the No. 1 pick belongs to the Knicks.

He doesn't know if he did anything that would trigger a butterfly effect and cause the Knicks to not get the No. 1 pick.

They spent the night in a local hotel before returning to New York.

In the past few months, the main change in the league has been ownership transactions.

Larry Miller acquired 50% of the Utah Jazz for $8 million;

Jerry Reinsdorf bought 56% of the Chicago Bulls for $1,000 and hired Jerry Krause as the team's general manager.

The Knicks have encountered a wave of injuries.

Bernard King's ACL tear wasn't the end, it was the beginning.

Like a nightmare, James Bailey, ankle contusion;

Louis Orr committed an offensive foul on Barkley during the game. Louis: You can tell with your penis that this can’t be a rib fracture as a result of my teaching;

Butch Carter suffered a strained groin muscle and a sprained foot;

Roy Sparrow had tight hips for days;

Ken Bannister injured his back;

At its worst, the Knicks only had six players capable of playing.

While the New York media felt sorry for Louis, they focused their fire on the team's doctor, which led to the doctor being fired.

However, firing the team doctor could not immediately restore the injured players to health, so Louis secretly scolded the team doctor for being incompetent and repeatedly emphasized that the players should protect themselves.

As a coach, all the players under him who can play are injured.

Louis is not a heavy training coach.

He is famous for his "doing nothing" on the training ground, and some people questioned him about this when he was at Celtic.

Therefore, it is difficult to blame Louis for the Knicks' wave of injuries.

Everyone was injured, and the Knicks, who had no hope to begin with, suffered a losing streak.

No one scolded Louis.

The Knicks' record dropped to the fourth-worst record in the league, but Louis received the highest honor as the head coach of the Tank Team: the right to be exempted from spraying.

You can no longer find a head coach who led the team to 27 wins and 48 losses without anyone criticizing him.

There are seven games left, and the Knicks haven't won a single one.

They ended this dilapidated season with a straight seven-game losing streak.

Is there anything to be happy about? They are ranked third from the bottom in the league and will have a 14% chance of winning the Ewing Award.

Another thing that is gratifying is that all the young players traded to the Knicks from other teams have performed better than they did with the original team.

Dell Ellis was just a substitute in Dallas, but when he came to the Knicks, he became the main output point averaging 16 points per game.

Antoine Kyle's low-post offense allowed fans to allow him to be lazy and inattentive on the defensive end. As a substitute who played 25 minutes per game, he scored 13 points and 4 rebounds.

The biggest surprise is Tony Campbell, one of the gifts of the Cummings trade. This dynamic sixth man averaged 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game in limited playing time and garbage games that did not pursue results. His poison attributes

It has already appeared.

The most underrated player is Stockton. He averaged 9 points and 7 assists in 26 minutes per game. If the players in his generation were not too beastly, he could compete for the first team of rookies.

Needless to say, Louis rarely takes a vacation in early April.

The next focus of the Knicks' work is to examine the 1985 rookies. His opinions are very important, but there is no need to do everything personally. The dirty work is left to the scouts and Zhao Yuanzheng. All he has to do is to throw in a piece of information from them.

Make the right choice in the heap of reconnaissance reports.

1985 is still a long time from the time Louis was familiar with, but the names of acquaintances appear more and more frequently.

If it is based on making the right choice, he will not make a mistake.

The difficulty lies in how to do it right and be beneficial to the future development of the Knicks. Of course it is not difficult to just choose the right person. What is difficult is whether the right person is suitable for the Knicks.

It’s both correct and appropriate, that’s what makes you happy!

⑴Which other superstar do you think can confidently say that he has reached his upper limit? Welcome to leave a message. Don't say Curry. He has exceeded his upper limit and used his epoch-making shooting skills to break the dimensional wall and reach a field that he should not have entered at all.
