The rest is just noise

In August, Louis should have been enjoying his vacation in peace.

After all, he has nothing to be busy with at the moment. The preseason training camp will have to wait until next month. Various preseason preparations for the Knicks are underway, and none of these require Louis to be overly concerned.

The only thing he needs to worry about is the negotiations between the league and the players union.

This time the two sides started a fierce confrontation again.

As for the union, they understand the theory of "breaking down the house first before closing the windows" and are determined to abolish the salary cap so that the league can take a step back and share the revenue from the cable television broadcast contract with the players.

Louis doesn't care about their progress, he's just having a very rough day.

I got up at six in the morning and walked through the living room with my crying son in my arms. In the process, his right foot, which had paronychia, hit the door first, causing him to cry out in pain, and then his head hit the wall again.

He walked into the bathroom with his son in his arms and stubbed his toe again, which was suffering from paronychia. If you have the same problem, you know how painful it is.

When you are unlucky to a certain extent, everything will go wrong.

Louis put his son on the diaper table and dropped the towel. He wanted to pick up the towel while holding his son on the diaper table, but he accidentally poked his eye. He expressed his dissatisfaction with intense crying and looked very sad.

angry.

His crying caused Louis to accidentally knock over the bottles and jars in the bathroom, one of which was a glass bottle and shattered on the floor. Louis needed to avoid the glass shards on the floor, change his son's pants, and wait for him to

That was all done. He realized he had forgotten to put the kid in a diaper and had to do it all over again.

After he finished everything in the bathroom, he discovered that he had put his son's diaper on backwards.

Why did he give birth to this boy?

An ordinary little thing almost broke Louis.

When Louis had roughly settled everything, he found Lu Wuxia looking at him thoughtfully, with doubtful eyes, contemptuous expression, and vague ridicule.

Tell Louie you're weak as hell, Daddy.

And that's not even the worst thing that happened today.

The worst thing was that when Louis did not wake up until ten o'clock in the morning, the breakfast/or lunch prepared by Lorraine was not delicious and was far below the usual level.

He had no intention of questioning, but Lorraine put a medical examination report on the table: "Look what you have done!"

Louis picked up Lorraine's physical examination report and suddenly felt dizzy. Pregnant?

Pregnant again?

"Is this true?" Louis asked fearfully.

Lorraine rolled her eyes at him: "You hope it's false?"

"No, I mean we can't even handle Michael now, let's have another kid."

In fact, Louis doesn't have much say in this matter. It mainly depends on whether Lorraine wants to have a baby.

If she wants to have a baby, her studies will be affected.

Louis' mother Li Xuanbing naturally fully supported her in giving birth to the child, and even asked Louis to propose to Lorraine.

Pregnancy out of wedlock was rare in the United States in the 1980s, and it was more common to get married with a child.

Louis had never done anything about getting married in his previous life, and he had never thought about it in this life. But now, it was time to think about it.

Before he could think clearly, Lorraine decided to give birth to the child.

Then, she made an agreement with Louis, either he would undergo a vasectomy or he would take protective measures in place in the future.

1. Louis didn’t want to take his little brother to the hospital for surgery. What was wrong was that he couldn’t get out in time like a male actor every time. Why would he hurt innocent people?

Second, he didn't want to use tools, which would greatly reduce the experience, so he vowed to practice squats hard from today on to ensure that he would develop the endurance and control to remain strong despite repeated attacks.

In September, each team basically ended its vacation.

In the summer that just ended, the NBA as a whole has not changed much.

The Pacers fired their executive and head coach George Irvine and hired coach Jack Ramsey, who had been idle for two years, in an attempt to change their situation.

One of the most interesting trades occurred between Utah and the Pistons.

The Pistons, determined to change themselves, continue to make transactions to further enhance the strength of their lineup.

To this end, they sent "Microwave" Vinyl Johnson and Kent Benson plus a 1987 first-round pick to the Jazz in exchange for scoring leader Adrian Dantley.

This is undoubtedly an amazing operation. Through flexible operations and bold transactions, the Pistons formed an extremely tall lineup of Worthy, Parish, Moses Malone, Dantley, and Dumars in one summer. Their bench

Also on it are Rick Mahon and Clairo God's Background Ilo.

The biggest problem is that there is a serious positional conflict between Worthy, Parrish, Malone, Dantley and Mahomes.

But in terms of frontcourt depth, strength, thickness, offense and defense, and rebounding, this may be the strongest frontcourt lineup in history.

Louis had to pay more attention to Detroit.

They are a team whose destiny was indirectly changed by Louis.

Rodman, Salley, Thomas, Laimbeer, these core members of the Bad Boys are no longer in Detroit.

But they found their own way out. The extreme depth and height of the frontcourt will be a nightmare for all teams.

They could become a scary team that relies on dominant offensive rebounding to desperation opponents.

Especially in this era where shooters aren't deadly yet.

As long as the outside shots are inaccurate, they can boldly shrink to protect the rebounds and release shots at will on the offensive end. After all, the frontcourt lineup is too strong.

Maybe Dumars will switch to the No. 1 position in advance and then pair it with a lineup of Dantley, Worthy, Parish, Malone/Mahon.

With such a lineup, the Pistons are aiming for a target that is self-evident.

The Boston Celtics, the overlords who have won three consecutive championships, still have unparalleled core talent, but the Pistons' frontcourt lineup can already gain an advantage over them.

No matter how strong Sampson is, can he beat one against five?

Louis was excited after seeing the Pistons' lineup.

It turned out that he was not the only one who wanted to defeat Boston. Detroit also wanted to do so. They formed such a lineup because they wanted to imitate the Knicks and compete with the Celtics.

Regardless of whether they can beat the Celtics or not, starting from today, the Green Army will have a difficult time in the Eastern Conference. If they want to break out of the Eastern Conference, they must first fall into the quagmire and fight with the tough guys in New York.

, and then go deal with the dead pigskins in Detroit.

After these two rounds, half of your life is gone even if you don't die.

The Knicks announced the roster for the preseason training camp. Unlike other teams, their official roster is already full. There is no Development League at the moment, and the team will not sign some fringe players to practice with.

Therefore, if the roster is full, the training camp will basically be a competition between official players.

A few days before the training camp started, Louis came to the Blue Palace.

Knicks strength trainer Daniel Dillon has been one of the hardest-working coaching staff members this summer.

At the beginning, his only staff were Ewing and Bol.

Now, Oakley is also under his control.

Moreover, this year the Knicks selected six more rookies to join the team. The bodies of the rookies are very thin and require a rigorous and scientific weight gain plan.

So, Benjamin Wilson, Rodman and John Salley, all three joined Dillon's training.

Judging from the report submitted by Dillon, the overall effect is good.

This summer, Ewing gained 7 pounds and is now close to 116 kilograms. He is still a little short of the average level of 120 kilograms for the same height, but it is only a matter of time before he reaches this number.

Boll's weight gain this year has "remarkable results". He gained 3 pounds in one summer last year, and probably lost it back after having diarrhea.

This year, he actually gained 5 pounds.

Although these 5 kilograms of meat look completely inconspicuous to him who is 231 centimeters tall, just like Mr. Bodo’s monthly new work, it is added at least.

Louie's biggest concern was Wilson's weight.

When he participated in the draft, he was only 81 kilograms, and now he is 86 kilograms.

Gaining 10 kilograms in one summer shows his hard work, but 86 kilograms is still a bit too thin for him.

There is no rush to gain weight. Louis believes that in his rookie season, if Wilson can quickly adapt to the three-point line in the NBA, it is estimated that averaging 15 points per game will not be a problem.

Don't think this is a small amount, Louis always uses the most conservative scenario when estimating a player's performance.

The most conservative means the least expected. This kind of performance is already the most disappointing situation for Wilson apart from the injury.

He was selected by the Knicks with the reputation that "he is likely to become the No. 1 pick in any of the next four years".

Louis carefully considers various things that may happen in the new season, as well as the playing time, rotation and how to arrange the current team he has.

Last season, Stockton played the most minutes on the team, averaging 37 minutes per game, followed by Ewing, averaging 30 minutes per game.

These two are the only players who have played more than 30 minutes.

Ewing only had 30 minutes because he often couldn't control the number of fouls he committed, and there was no way to give him more.

Stockton's commanding ability is irreplaceable, and Louis also believes in his durability. He can't be an iron man in Utah in his previous life and then fail in New York, where the lineup is more reasonable.

Now the lineup has changed a lot, the intensity has been upgraded, and rotation has become a problem again.

How to take care of people's emotions and how to give everyone a ball to play as much as possible is a question.
