The rest is just noise

Regarding whether there was an inside story about the 1985 draft lottery, Stern's response was pale: "If people are willing to think so and think there are other hidden secrets, then let's think so. The world welcomes imagination."

Eagles general manager Stan Kasten shared what he encountered while attending a college game in Hawaii a few months before the lottery.

"I was sitting with a few NBA people," Kasten said, "and I remember one insider, who asked not to be named, was convinced about what was going to happen. He kept saying, 'He's going to the Knicks.

Team Si. Everything is arranged.'"

A day later, a New York tabloid reported a curious fact: Jack Wagner, the man responsible for turning the Globes' envelope, worked for Ernst & Whinney, the accounting firm that also owns the Knicks in Madison.

The head office of the Plaza Garden Company.

An Indianapolis television station used freeze-frame footage to point out that the corners of the Knicks envelope were bent. Other reports followed, suggesting an alternative hypothesis was that the envelope had been placed in a refrigerator, making it colder to the touch, which would have made Stern

It's also easier to find.

No matter how the conspiracy theorists analyze it, it is an unchangeable fact that Ewing won the award with the Knicks.

Within an hour of the Knicks drawing the No. 1 pick, Madison Garden sold out all season tickets for future years.

Also this week, the latest issue of Sports Illustrated featured Ewing wearing a Knicks jersey.

Louis took a day off for himself.

On this day, he didn't want to worry about the No. 1 pick.

I don’t want to worry about who to pick in next month’s draft, and I don’t want to worry about the various agenda items within the Knicks, such as hiring a new team doctor. But in the end, this matter is still very important. If you really decide to draft Yu

Because, Louis wants him to be healthy.

Health is the cornerstone for a player to reach his upper limit.

The tragedy of Bill Walton should never happen again.

Louis is on vacation at work, but it cannot be considered a vacation at home.

He has to take care of the children. In addition to taking care of the children, Lorraine has been preparing for school at the end of the year.

Now she is reading a book about child psychology.

"The book says that Michael (Lu Wuxia) is in a critical period of development." Lorraine observed her child while watching, "It said that his brain will focus on a certain function."

Michael is Lu Wuxia’s English name. The reason for choosing this name is very simple. There are many great people named Michael.

But the reason why Lorraine named Michael was not to make him famous among many celebrities, but because she liked "The Godfather" and Al Pacino's Michael Corleone too much.

Louis responded: "Oh, really?"

"The book also says that each child's development focus is different. Some children are the first to learn to speak, and some are the first to learn to use their limbs. A very few geniuses understand the meaning of 'I' and 'you' at a very young age.

Already."

Louis has changed several diapers for his son today.

He was a little confused: "So, you mean every child has his own talent?"

"It's okay if you understand it that way."

"Like Patrick is destined to be the No. 1 pick?"

"Yeah, that's understandable."

Louis packed up the diaper and the daddy on it: "Then what is this kid's talent?"

The child slept peacefully.

Lorraine's maternal love overflowed: "Obviously, he is good at sleeping."

Louis was silent for a few seconds.

"Well, he's also very good at defecating."

"This is not a talent!" Lorraine reminded him dissatisfied.

Louis was silent for a while: "Then this kid is so disappointing, he is useless."

"What nonsense!" Lorraine became even more unhappy.

"If you admit that frequent sleeping and diarrhea are part of talent, but if this kid is so 'gifted', wouldn't he be born to lose at the starting line? Who knows what will happen in the future!"

Lorraine decided to take the child away from Louis.

"I'm going to put Michael in your mother's arms, and then the poor kid won't have to listen to his father's nonsense!"

"You dote on him so much. If you don't believe me, just ask my mother how cruel she was to me when she was a child. She beat me once a month on average."

Louis followed and blurted out his resentment towards his son: "Actually, I think his talent should be reflected in torturing his parents, so he is always sleeping during the day because he is never quiet at night.

"

"Have you eaten too much recently and been too busy?" Li Xuanbing was hugging his grandson and doting on him, "Hurry up and tell me what to do!"

"I have a day off today"

"Then let me do what I have to do! Do you look like a father?"

"Then what else can I do during my vacation?"

Louis was very disappointed. The old mother was extremely affectionate to her grandson.

"roll!"

Lorraine gloated, sticking out her tongue and making faces.

"Marlena, let's go back to the room to 'talk about something.'" With that, Louis dragged Lorraine back to the room, locked it, and then began to indescribably explore the possibility of a second child on the bed.

While Louis is enjoying his vacation, the NBA playoffs are in full swing.

In the civil war between the East and the West, the Celtics swept the East with an absolute advantage.

The Pistons, who introduced Maxwell, met the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.

This is a grudge game. Maxwell is a remnant of the Havlicek era, and he should have ended up like everyone else in the history of the Green Kai team.

As a result, he got into trouble with the team and Auerbach would rather suffer a loss than send him out.

Unfortunately, the Pistons only defeated the Celtics once.

4 to 1, Game 5, the Celtics' Big Three scored 102 points together, beating the Pistons to a pulp.

At the end of that game, Chuck Daly remembered Louie's words.

The Pistons currently only have a few players who can adapt to the intensity of the game against the Celtics. If they want to become a real competitor, they need a comprehensive overhaul.

In the West, the Trail Blazers, led by rookie Michael Jordan, went straight to the conference finals and played the Lakers in six games.

Rookie Jordan averaged 29 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 52% from the field. Draxler averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

The prototype of the Golden Gemini has been formed.

Now, what the Trail Blazers need most is to strengthen the depth and thickness of their lineup.

Only super teams can fight against super teams.

The Trail Blazers now have a level gap with the Lakers and Celtics.

In the finals, the Celtics and Lakers faced off for a second time.

This is also the third round of the match between the black and white heroes.

However, something went wrong before the finals started.

Bird got into a fight at a local bar in Boston in order to help a friend, and injured his hand.

This resulted in him being in very bad shape in the finals.

The league's No. 1 player is in no shape, and everyone on the Lakers looks like they want revenge.

At Celtic's home court, they played two games in a row and their 2-0 start was unexpected.

Bird's performance was dismal and he was greatly criticized. Just as the media ridiculed Magic last year, they will return it to him this year.

But Bird is not a person who is close to the media and cares about the words and deeds of the media. Public opinion has very little impact on him. He knows that his state has brought trouble to the team, so he took the initiative to ask K.C Jones to remove him from the core position of the offense.

Transferred out. He served as deputy, supporting Thomas and Sampson.

This is a simple truth.

If you were asked to choose the most difficult player to guard among Kobe, James, and Durant, most people would choose between the latter two based on efficiency. However, most NBA players will choose Kobe. Because guarding Durant,

You can start by guarding the ball and his lower limbs. The standard defense against James is a big outside lock + basket protection inside.

And Kobe, no matter what configuration you give, whether his shooting percentage tonight is 20 for 20 or 1 for 20, he will continue to take shots in all kinds of ways you can't think of. He is such a confident and selfish person that you dare not not

Guard his players.

Bird regards himself as a bait. As long as he gets the ball, he is no less attractive than Kobe. But his ability and willingness to pass and lead his teammates are obviously better than Kobe.

The Celtics won two games in Los Angeles.

In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored 40 points in front of Sampson at the age of 38. Wilkins followed up with 39 points, and Magic's great 21+15+19 assists led to a triple-double, which put the Lakers away.

Revenge is only one step away.

"We'll play seven games."

Sampson, who was beaten by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Game 5, rarely spoke harshly through the media.

As a result, in the sixth game, Sampson seemed to have been taken over by another person, crazily holding the ball and attacking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He was a furious beast, with speed, range, and athletic ability that were all better than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, as if from

Creatures from outer space.

Thomas showed his characteristics as the second player on the Celtics team that is difficult for the Lakers to guard.

His ball-handling threat is the Celtics' greatest threat. The Louis era has proven that if he lets his hands and feet attack, no one in the Lakers can match him.

Dennis Johnson's speed is not enough in front of him.

In the fourth quarter, Magic hit three three-pointers with divine help, forcing the game into overtime.

The confrontation between Wilkins and Bird sent the game into a second overtime.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was breathing oxygen while confronting Sampson, and was finally called for his sixth foul.

The two sides came to the third overtime.

Without Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers have no one inside, and the Celtics' Big Three are eyeing him.

With an 11-1 overtime scoring ratio, the Lakers fell short and were tied with the Celtics at 3-3.

Sampson played his masterpiece in the Finals, a triple-double of 39 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists and 11 blocks in a single game.

Game 7, coming to the Garden, last year's fear came to the Lakers.

This was the only game in the Finals in which Bird felt comfortable, and the only game in the Finals in which Kareem Abdul-Jabbar stretched his hips.

At 38 years old, he is no longer young, but there are always people who are young, such as Sampson opposite.

No one expected that the tiebreaker, which was supposed to be the final battle, would turn into a one-sided massacre by the Celtics.

148 to 114

The Celtics beat the Lakers by 34 points at home to win two consecutive championships. In these seven games, Sampson averaged 31 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 blocks per game, shooting 59% from the field.

No one can compete with him for FMVP.

And he thanked another person in front of reporters: "I have to thank Coach Lu. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to get to this point, so this is not only a victory for me and the Celtics, but also a victory for him. I think, I

I did what he wanted me to do."

The reporter also asked about Ewing's possible trip to New York.

Sampson laughed: "This is the best result for Patrick. There is no coach in the league better suited to guide him forward than Little Lou."

What Sampson didn't know was that after watching the seven-game series between the Celtics and Lakers, Louis asked himself: "Does Ewing have a chance to reach 80% of Sampson's level in the future?"

It is no exaggeration to say that he has no confidence.
