The rest is just noise

"Coach Lu, you seem to have some criticisms of John Thompson."

Dave Anderson found out about this.

"I can't say I have any complaints." Louis smiled rudely, "I'm just simply dissatisfied with his coaching philosophy and his ability to develop players' potential."

Anderson took out his notebook.

"Both Kareem and Bill Walton became superstars under Coach Wooden. When they entered the NBA, they were already finished products. I agree with these players staying in school for four years."

Louis and Anderson came to the vending machine together. He bought a bottle of Coke and continued, "But good rough jade is rare, and there are even fewer craftsmen who can carve rough jade into beautiful jade. In the NCAA, there are more people like John

Guys like Thompson make geniuses believe in themselves, make them feel loyal and loyal, and then he openly wastes their precious growth period."

Anderson asked: "Do you think Patrick should enter the draft as early as possible?"

"Yes, he should enter the draft after one year of college."

Louis believed firmly.

"The remaining three years mean nothing to him."

"Do you mind if I put this in a book?"

Louis said sadly: "Do I mind if it's useful?"

"It's useless." Anderson shared the notebook, "But it can make me feel grateful to you."

"How much is your gratitude worth?"

"I will pray every day that the Coke you buy is not a 'limited edition'."

"It's so affectionate and meaningful." Louis smiled, "I feel very useful."

After that, Louis took a sip of Coke.

It only takes one sip for Louis to know whether this bottle of Coke is authentic or not.

In an instant, he spit out the Coke at the wall.

"CTMLGCBD!" Louis burst out with an extremely vulgar Chinese curse word.

Anderson smiled rarely and said: "It seems my prayer failed."

"The top management of Coca-Cola are definitely a bunch of pigs!" Louis scolded, "I will sell their stocks when I go back tonight. This company has no future!"

In fact, they have a future, it's just that Louis is too angry now.

Why did Louis' beloved Coca-Cola cause him to be furious? Because in April of this year, the Coca-Cola Company decided to make a major change that had not been seen in a century.

They actually want to change the formula of Coca-Cola and launch a new Coca-Cola.

This clever move immediately aroused opposition from all those who liked the original Coke, and then triggered a demonstration.

A rare nationwide march around a certain business unfolded in great splendor.

Everyone at the top of Coca-Cola Company received threatening letters, and the president was mailed a bullet. Although Louis did not personally participate in the protest, he provided financial support for this group of righteous men.

Amid the nationwide rebuke, Coca-Cola gave up on innovating. Starting from July 11, new Coke will be gradually put on the market in the next three months. Eventually, Old Coke will completely return. But before that day, there will still be unfortunate people

Buy a New Coke.

This is the worst marketing ever, comparable to Li Ning’s confusing choice of XZ as its spokesperson when the country was crusading against hooks and supporting domestic products.

The next day, Louis caught Ewing.

There were many times when he was out of position while protecting the rebound, and was knocked off the board by Oakley.

"Patrick, my girlfriend can even grab that rebound."

"Are you mysophobic? Can't you get stuck? Is it any use to stare at me? I don't know what you did in the four years of college!"

"Did no one teach you positioning in school? Is it because you don't work hard, or is the Georgetown coaching staff just a bunch of losers?"

"enough!!"

Ewing smashed the ball.

"Didn't you ask me yesterday what I thought about whether you wasted four years of your time?" Louis smiled sarcastically, "I think you already know what I think."

Ewing yelled in frustration: "I can't grab all the rebounds!"

"But you can get stuck before the rebound comes. Are you stuck? Patrick, am I fucking blaming you for not grabbing the rebound?" It only takes a moment for Louis' smile to turn into a scowl, "Tell me

I, are you stuck?"

He walked up to Ewing, so angry that everyone at the scene suspected that he was going to punch him the next second.

"Are you fucking stuck?"

"answer me!!"

"No." Ewing's voice was so weak that only Louis could hear it.

"Do you know the shame now? I'm fucking telling you!" Louis roared rudely, "I have one advantage, that is, I won't cause trouble for you bastards for no reason! But if you don't do a good enough job, I'm sorry

, I will not muddle along, do you think your problem is just not getting stuck? QTMD, you are reserved! When I point out your mistakes, the only fucking response you can give me is a "Yes, coach" that is even more humble than a servant, except

Besides, I don’t want to hear any nonsense from your stinky mouth!”

This may be Louis' first "transformation" at the Blue Palace. Players who have played for him for a season are very unfamiliar with his appearance.

Seeing Louis' current appearance, Tomjanovich knew that Little Lu was back.

He began to take this group of people seriously, indicating that his goal in the new season is not to mess up.

"Go on!" Louis walked out of the court.

Ewing held the ball and wanted to go far.

"Patrick, I'm watching you." Louis said.

Anderson only regretted that he didn't have a camera to capture Louie berating Ewing.

After about ten minutes, Anderson no longer thought so.

Ewing made a reckless defense and ran two steps inside the three-point line from the paint area to help defend, resulting in a pass that penetrated the penalty area.

"Don't chase people and bite them like a mad dog! You need to know clearly whether the opponent is bait or a key player. Did your defensive IQ just now exceed 50?"

"Yes, coach."

Seeing Tomjanovich's unfazed expression, Anderson asked, "Is this Little Lou?"

"This is Little Lu." Tomjanovich said with a smile, "But this is just one side of him, don't be fooled by him."

"One side?"

Anderson increasingly felt that Louis was a treasured coach. He was usually humorous, sharp-tongued, and daring to speak and act in front of him, but when it came to Ewing, he was like the legendary Bob Knight who would punch players after losing control of his emotions.

Anderson dared to bet anyone that no one other than Louis had ever treated Ewing like this.

His harshness towards Ewing was beyond the norm.

Whenever Ewing makes a mistake, he will yell at him loudly.

He said that Ewing was not that good and that Anderson was not a basketball expert. He could only believe in Louis. Because Louis had coached Bird and personally trained Sampson, he was more qualified than anyone in the league to make decisions about Ewing.

evaluate.

If he says Ewing isn't good enough, then he isn't good enough.

Isn't it that he is so strict with Ewing just to make him as good as people expect him to be?

Ewing's defensive positioning, grabbing rebounds and not getting stuck, will encounter Louis' fierce spray every day.

This is doomed. Except for Ewing, Louis seems to have no interest in anyone else.

This is indeed what Louis really thinks.

Apart from Ewing, among the remaining players, the only players with a relatively certain future are Stockton, Oakley, Ellis, and half Bol.

Stockton and Oakley are relatively mature players and do not need his supervision.

Therefore, Louis and Robinson have a clear division of labor. One is responsible for teaching Ewing the blocking position, and the other is responsible for correcting his bad habits.

Louie's rebuke to Ewing clearly hurt his relationship with him.

Louis thought about the risks of doing so, but he never looked back.

Ewing is already 22 years old, and Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others entered the league with only a few or no problems.

Teams can be built directly around them.

But how to build a team around Ewing? Louis can only refer to what Pat Riley did in his previous life and arrange for him to have an Oakley to help him do the dirty work.

Except for this, he doesn't intend to refer to Riley's use of Ewing.

That usage has proven that it can only reach the finals but not the Champions League.

Therefore, even Oakley's future is not so certain.

When Ewing's problem is resolved, perhaps Oakley will become a dispensable role. Louis hopes that day will come as soon as possible.

The earlier that day comes, the sooner the Knicks will be competitive in competing for the championship.

That afternoon, as soon as the collective training ended, Ewing ran out of the Blue Palace angrily.

He was scolded by Louis all day long.

Spot Weber came over to express his goodwill: "Coach, do you want me to comfort Patrick?"

"You can try." Louis said kindly, "It's best not to mention my name in front of him."

Just as Weber was about to go, Jackson stopped him.

"I'm the best at mediating conflicts." Jackson stopped Weber and said confidently, "Let me do it."

Louis had a bad feeling.

A few minutes later, everyone in the Blue Palace heard Ewing roar: "I don't want to talk now!"

"OK, let's talk next time."

Jackson came back, and facing everyone's gaze, he said sheepishly: "The situation seems a bit serious."

"It seems that this matter can only be solved by yourself." Tomjanovich said funnyly.

"I'm not going!" After saying that, Louis walked towards the outside of the Blue Palace.

"where did you go?"

"Buy a Coke."

With Coach Lu’s status here, do you still need to go there in person to buy Coke?

"Did he really just go buy a Coke?" Robinson asked.

"Everyone who understands understands," Tomjanovich transformed into the Riddler. "Those who don't understand, even if you tell me, you don't understand."
