The rest is just noise

In the evening, the Knicks returned to the hotel from the training facility for dinner and then took the bus.

Louis was packing his luggage in the hotel. He usually didn't bring valuables with him when he went on business trips.

Except for some things that have special meaning to him, he only carries them with him.

These things may not be valuable, they just appear different because they each represent something.

Today, Louie put on the suit the players gave him last Thanksgiving.

This is a sultry purple suit, and Louis matches it with a white plaid tie.

No matter where he goes, he looks so sexy.

Moreover, he was going to the garden and was wearing purple. It was obvious that he was going to be provocative.

"That's right, I'm just here to provoke you, right?"

Louis encouraged himself, and then used this outfit to make the players shout out and become the protagonist on the bus.

"Lu, what are you doing? Wearing a purple suit to the Garden, you don't even want Boston fans?" Tomjanovich said in surprise, "This is your third hometown!"

"Go to your third hometown, I'm not familiar with them!"

Louis has worked in Boston for seven years. If he said he had no affection for this place, he would definitely be lying.

But now that he is coaching the Knicks, he is wearing a suit donated by the players through fundraising. He is here to cheer up the players. He doesn't care what others think.

When Knicks arrived at the Garden, Louis indeed became the brightest star.

"Coach Lu, what are you doing?"

K.C. Jones came over to say hello.

"My players spent tens of thousands of dollars on a custom-made suit for me last year. How about it? It's beautiful, isn't it?" Louis seemed unaware of how sensitive it was to wear purple in the garden.

K.C predicted: "The fans will boo you later, I'm sure."

"Hush, I'm not the only old man abandoned by Boston. Don Nelson hasn't received any cheers here since 1983, right?"

Of course K.C can't beat Louis, he just needs to lead the team to defeat Louis.

He quite liked watching Louis being tough and losing to him.

When Louis returned to his coaching bench, a shirtless middle-aged man in the front row yelled at him: "Little Lu, your outfit insults all green-blooded people!"

"Even if I shit on the clover, my contribution to this team is much greater than yours, so stop talking nonsense here!" Louis replied forcefully.

Louis' purple suit is causing more and more dissatisfaction, and even Ewing and the others are starting to worry.

"Since you gave me this suit, you should have thought that this day would come and I would be ready for everything if I dared to wear it. I'm not here to watch you get beaten up. Just raise your head and give me a bloody fight."

the match of!"

Louis said seriously.

Players from both sides entered the court one by one, and as usual, several Celtic players came to say hello to Louis.

Sampson came first, followed by Laimbeer, then John Long, and finally Bird.

"Just because of your suit, it's impossible to be nice tonight." Bird said arrogantly, "I'm going to beat you by 40 points!"

Louis smiled disdainfully and said, "Stop talking nonsense, country bumpkin. If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll have someone knock you down first!"

"Come on, I'm waiting!" Bird went back to warm up.

When the DJ introduced both sides and the coach, the boos gradually increased.

When Louis' name was called last, he received cheers as he came to the garden.

Today, the boos came like a tsunami.

"Humph!" Louis was really angry, "I brought them Ralph, I brought them Isiah, I brought them a championship, but these are not as good as a purple

Suit, this is Boston, I’m so glad I left early.”

"Lou, purple is different." Tomjanovich felt that Louis was a little over the top.

"Whether or not the purple color is different doesn't affect the fact that they have insulted my contribution to this city." Louis made up his mind, "I must do something fucking bad tonight!"

Thanks to the Celtics, the Knicks got the opportunity to be broadcast live across the United States tonight.

Originally, the Knicks had 11 live broadcast games across the United States, but due to low ratings, it was cut to 6 games, and all of them had already been played.

The game was improvised as the Celtics' 39-game winning streak at the Garden would continue.

This season, the Celtics' regular season dominance has declined compared to the previous two seasons, but the games they lost were all against weaker teams and were upset.

It's a merciless beating against a strong team.

Their winning rate against strong teams is 100%, and they will definitely win the games they want to win, and win beautifully.

This team often feels bored, and the feeling of invincible loneliness makes them upset.

Without Louis, the Knicks also have a chance to upset the Celtics.

However, the presence of Louis makes the Celtics feel 120,000 points higher every time they play against them.

CBS game analyst Tom Heinsohn didn't have as much of a reaction to the suit Louis wore today as the fans did.

He said very freely: "Fans should not focus too much on Little's clothes. Compared with his contribution to the Celtics, the offense caused by this clothes is almost negligible."

However, waves of boos directed at Louis indicated that the fans believed that this outfit had done more harm to them than all the contributions Louis had made to this team.

On the opening jump ball, although Ewing was the first to touch the ball, he did not take the ball down. Instead, Sampson pushed the ball to Isiah Thomas when it fell.

Thomas is accelerating and entering this stage, there are not many people who can stop him.

The fans were dissatisfied with Louis and gave him fierce cheers.

Seeing Louis change from a popular person to an unpopular person, Thomas felt happy and a little bitter. He knew how much Louis had done for the Celtics. But in the eyes of the fans, this was not as good as anything.

Purple suit?

The fluctuating mood made Thomas want to do something extreme.

He's ready to dunk.

Although he is not tall, his elasticity is amazing, his vertical jump exceeds one meter, and he can dunk easily.

It was the thought of dunking that gave Ewing the opportunity.

At this moment, the explosive power of the Jamaican King Kong surpassed everyone on the court. He came from behind and slapped Thomas' dunk to the floor.

Thomas suffered a violent impact, lost his center of gravity, and fell heavily.

"Beep!"

"What!" Louis walked to the midfield position to put pressure on tonight's referee, "This is not a foul! It was a reasonable collision. If this is a foul, does the game still require defense?"

The referee tonight is Tom Nunez and the assistant referee is Bent Salvatore.

It was Salvatore who blew the whistle. He didn't expect Louis to run away after the first ball.

He put pressure on his side, and the fans responded with cheers.

However, the fans' voices could not reach the referee's ears.

"If you watch the replay, you will find that Patrick did not foul at all. You can't blow the whistle just because the guy fell! You are the referee, not his parent!"

Salvatore was pushed to the limit by Louis and shouted angrily: "Don't teach me how to whistle!"

"Then you better fucking know how to call penalties!" Louis retorted.

The infuriated Salvatore was about to call Louis a technical foul, but was stopped by referee Nunez.

"Don't affect the game, Little Lu."

"Of course I won't affect the game, but if you consciously affect the game, and the impact is unfavorable to us, do you think this is fair? What is the foul just now?"

Louis' constant pressure refreshed K.C's understanding.

In his impression, Louis only complained and rarely became violent.

Obviously he was very angry tonight. If Tomjanovich hadn't come up to hold him back, he wouldn't have given up until he gave himself the full T.

"If you are kicked out, the game will be unplayable!"

"What do you know? If the standard remains the same tonight, we won't be able to fight!" Louis said angrily, "I have to put pressure on that pig referee. What's his name?"

"Bennett Salvatore."

"Bent?" Louis said angrily, "I think this bastard is more suitable to be called Badt!"

Louis almost got into a fight with the referee for a foul on Ewing on the sidelines.

Of course Ewing also wants to repay him with better performance.

The Knicks played tactics step by step, and Stockton deliberately asked Ewing to cut inside.

Sampson is different from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He will defend against the pick-and-roll and leave the inside to Laimbeer.

However, Laimbeer also has to come out, because Oakley will not stay in the penalty area with him to fish.

After the inside line was completely pulled out, the Celtics' penalty area appeared a phenomenon that is all too familiar to modern fans.

open

Even a primary school student, as long as he can play ball, he can go to the penalty area and put the ball into the basket.

Ewing's cutting momentum and good timing prevented the Celtics from reacting in time.

But Sampson is worthy of being the league's number one insider. He chased back in time, but his shot blocking failed to have an effect.

Ewing held the ball with both hands and smashed it hard.

"According to the standard just now, is this a foul? I just want to ask, if Patrick fell like Isiah, would you also call it a foul?" Louis shouted.

The good-tempered Nunez was annoyed by Louis' entanglement: "Little Lu, you'd better restrain yourself!"

Louis snorted: "We'd better restrain ourselves."

It is not Louie's purpose to have a bad relationship with Nunez. This man is recognized as a good guy in the circle. He will call many Knicks games in the future. If you offend him, you are asking for trouble.

What Louis wants to do is to put pressure on him so that his deputy Benet will not dare to blow the whistle for the Celtics like he did in the opening game.

How to put pressure on referees is a compulsory course for coaches. Some people do it well, and some people don't do it well. Louis is still learning, but he has learned how to bully good people like Nunez and take advantage.

What, good people deserve to be held at gunpoint?

Yes, good people will be held at gunpoint.
