The rest is just noise

Before Thanksgiving, the Knicks need to play two games in a row.

The opponents are not strong, one is the Atlanta Hawks, and the other is the Indiana Pacers.

It can even be said that these are two teams in desperate need of a savior.

Because of Louis, the Hawks were unable to get their true love, Dominic Wilkins, and are continuing to decline. The Pacers are completely the ultimate package of a small ball market + mentally retarded management + the owner has no money, resulting in uncompetitiveness.

.

Although they are both weak teams, they don't want to lose to the Knicks.

The Knicks had just lost a disastrous defeat to the Celtics and their morale was low. In addition, veteran Louis Orr was traded, so the newcomers should be even more confused.

However, against the Atlanta Hawks, Ewing looked like a hungry beast.

He showed himself extremely fiercely, putting rebounding more important than his life, and almost guarded all the Hawks players who attacked the inside.

Hawks chief point guard Doc Rivers called Ewing tonight the No. 1 center in the league.

However, the league's top center only played 29 minutes, scoring 19 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 blocks and 6 fouls.

If he doesn't foul out, Louis definitely wants him to play more.

Tonight was the best Ewing since the start of the new season.

It's like a center version of Kevin Garnett. The flexibility may be slightly worse, but it's definitely not much different.

The Hawks basically had no resistance in front of the Knicks and were simply defeated.

The Knicks, who had no rest, came to Indiana the next day and played the Pacers back-to-back.

This summer, the Pacers acquired Wayman Tisdale, a mature immediate player.

But it only took them less than a month to realize that Tisdale was a cute brush at best and not the savior of the team.

In this battle, the two sides were at war with each other.

Ewing's salary issue has been put on the table again.

Tisdale's annual salary is only 1 million U.S. dollars, but Ewing actually has 3 million U.S. dollars. Even if he is better, he is not such an outstanding player. Why should he get several times more money than others?

The Pacers have enough bigs to limit Ewing.

They started a wheel battle, but unfortunately, Tisdale, who should have been fighting for himself, inexplicably withered.

He shot 4 of 15 from the field. If he had been more accurate, maybe the Knicks would have been defeated.

But he wasn't accurate enough, and the Knicks players made all the shots they should.

90 to 86

The Knicks survived back-to-back dangers and ushered in Thanksgiving Day in 1985 with a two-game winning streak.

12 wins and 4 losses

If you look at it this way, losing three of the five games a while ago is not that ugly.

You know, this is a team made up of rookies and sophomores.

Louis mainly plays a 10-man rotation, giving most people opportunities. Ewing, who has the appearance of an emperor, only averages 31 minutes per game. But it's not that Louis doesn't give him time, it's that this guy can't control the number of fouls he commits.

Normally, he averages about 34 minutes per game.

But if you can't control the number of fouls you commit, there's nothing you can do.

Ewing has many problems, and the number of fouls is just one of them. The good news is that his obvious flaws are all improving in an orderly manner.

Louis would scold him a few times after every game, sometimes fiercely, sometimes flatly.

The explosion after being brutally tortured by the Knicks a while ago was a climax.

When Thanksgiving is over, the Knicks will face another test.

This time they need to go to the Boston Garden to challenge the Celtics for the second time this season.

It is worth mentioning that the Celtics have won all 16 games in the opening season.

November 28

On Thanksgiving, Louie received a gift raised by the entire team.

This is a purple Armani suit worth $3,000.

This suit is very nice, but the tie is a bit ugly.

Why does a purple suit need to be paired with a red tie? Which god chose this color combination?

There was also a letter tucked into the suit, which read: "Thank you, coach, for taking the trouble to scold us in different ways day after day."

"Do they mean for me to work harder?" Louis asked Tomjanovich.

Tomjanovich spread his hands and said: "I don't know, anyway, I didn't receive any gifts."

He was a little resentful. After all, supervising everyone's training every day was hard work, but in the end, he didn't get the Thanksgiving gift.

Even if it wasn't for him, the players actually raised funds to buy Louis a suit.

This is someone who greets their whole family by name every game!

"Actually, I prepared a small gift for you." Louis smiled.

Tomjanovich curiously took the gift and found that it was a square gift and not heavy.

"Can it be opened on site?"

"Research shows that you should not open a gift in front of the giver, as this will cause embarrassment to the other person." What Louis wanted to express was, "It's best not to."

After Tomjanovich returned home and opened the gift, he realized that what Louis had given him was a mural.

The problem is, the mural features an angry man showing his middle finger.

Should I say that he likes it very much? Maybe, this is the kind of gift that brothers would give to each other.

"He understands me." Tomjanovich carefully put the gift away.

Louis also received a gift from out of town. At first he thought it was from old friends in Boston, but later he found out that it was sent from Connecticut.

Aside from a few college coaches, the only person Louis knew there was Jennifer Beals.

Since those people were not gay, and their friendship was not good enough to require giving each other gifts during holidays, it was obvious who gave this gift.

"I hope my gift is on its way or at my doorstep Jennifer Beals."

Louis scratched his head, he really hadn't prepared a gift for Bills.

Although he and Jennifer don't meet often, they are the kind of friends who often greet each other via text messages or phone calls.

Louis could feel her affection for him, but he already had a girlfriend, so he deliberately kept a distance.

Now that the other party has sent gifts to his door, it would be inappropriate not to return the gift.

He could only contact his friends in Connecticut to find a way to buy a decent gift for him and send it to Beales' home.

“What do you think of the middle finger mural?”

The other party's suggestion made Louis look dark.

"You can't imagine such a vulgar gift!"

"Giving it to ladies? It's simple. Perfume, flowers, teddy bears, wine. It depends on the age group of the person you are gifting it to."

"A college student with a high vision."

"Perfume?"

"Okay, just the perfume." Louis thanked him very much, "Thank you, Richie. When you come to New York, I'll treat you to a drink."

Louis hung up the phone before opening Jennifer's gift box.

Another suit.

It seems that these people know him very well. As an NBA head coach, the most worrying thing every day is which clothes to wear for games.

He's not usually that particular.

The one given by Jennifer is a little more mature, and has a touch of the immediate feel of Al Pacino's poster in which he sits on a chair and stares brightly into the camera.

When Louis returned home, Lorraine was decorating the Christmas tree at the door.

Li Xuanbing gave the nanny a red envelope and arranged a Thanksgiving dinner on her own. She treated Thanksgiving as the Chinese Spring Festival.

The gifts Louis prepared for his old mother were appliances that she would never use, but that he would always give.

The thing prepared for Lorraine was much more delicate, a diamond necklace.

"If you don't give me a ring, why would you give me a necklace!?" Li Xuanbing complained.

"Mom, please don't ruin the atmosphere."

"Now you think I'm ruining the atmosphere. Why didn't you know I would ruin the atmosphere when you asked me to prepare dinner?"

Louis could only beg for mercy. Lorraine liked the necklace very much. Before starting, she prayed for half a minute.

Neither Louis nor his mother are religious, so they basically stared at her after praying.

"Mom!"

Lu Wuxia shouted loudly.

This was the first word he learned, and it was also the first time Louis heard him speak clear words. Although it wasn't "Papa" that made him a little jealous, it was only a matter of time.

"Wuxia, call me grandma!"

"Mom!!"

"This child is thinking about Mommy!" Li Xuanbing said sourly, "I don't remember who usually plays with him, who coaxes him to sleep, who changes his diapers, and who helps him when his father is guilty.

Taking it out”

As long as you eat at home, you have to endure your parents' nagging.

Of course there will be boredom, but as a second generation Louis has learned to enjoy it.

Lorraine was a little embarrassed, she didn't know how to deal with herself at this time, and Lu Wuxia, a fat boy, shouted "Mom" more and more proudly, looking like he would not stop until his grandma was so angry that her blood pressure rose, so Louis had to

Pick up the bottle and cover his mouth.
