The rest is just noise

The Eastern Stars' downturn in the second half was unexpected, and it was obvious that they were divided into three waves.

The first wave is the old school dominated by the Celtics' Big Three.

The other wave is the new school dominated by the four young New York Knicks.

There is also a wave of neutral parties like Doc, Moses Malone, and Cheeks.

It is no secret that Isiah Thomas excluded Wilson. Some reporters heard the inside story and began to spread various rumors about the Eastern Conference Stars.

Louis' employment in the second half gave this prediction a lot of rationality.

"Although I don't believe that there are irreconcilable conflicts within the Eastern Stars, Coach Lu's rotation seems to be telling us that, yes, some of these guys just can't get along with others."

It's not the most outrageous thing that CBS arranged for Rick Barry to be the commentator for the All-Star Game. The most outrageous thing is Barry's partner Bill Russell.

A notorious racist who is black but feels good about himself, and a radical civil rights activist and a black winner with extremely strong self-esteem.

Russell followed Barry's words and said: "There is obviously a problem in the Eastern Conference. This kind of problem is very common among players. Russell chose a method of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause to deflect the conflict."

However, today's fans live in an era when Heinsohn is a permanent resident of CBS' national commentary box, so no matter how outrageous this pairing is, it can't compare to the finals when Heinsohn excitedly scolded the referee in front of the national audience.

The officiating was uncomfortably bad for the Celtics.

In the second half of the All-Star Game, Louie staggered the playing time of the Celtics' Big Three and the Knicks' four.

Both teams have big All-Star players, the Celtics have three and the Knicks have four.

Therefore, they can easily lead a lineup to play on the court.

There was no scene in the second half that made Louis uncomfortable.

Although some people are complaining that his method is to avoid the important and choose the minor, but the All-Star Game is played every year, and we don’t know who the coach will be next year, so why should we ignore the minor?

He has never been a peacemaker, and has no obligation to help these players mediate conflicts. If friction with these top beasts like the Celtics can make Wilson improve faster, he is more willing to watch them hate each other.

Who told him that he comes from a group of players who are all brothers, contacting each other in private, playing live games with each other online, quitting the team at any time because the team is not competitive enough, shouting "I want to bring my talent to xx", and making documentaries to praise brothers.

After a year of love, you found out that it was a trap and applied for a trade in the contract. With 73 wins, you insist on saying that it is the most difficult road and threaten that the team is a failure historically? What do you think?

Disgusting, so disgusting.

Perhaps that is the inevitable result of the advancement of modern technology and the shrinking distance between players.

In this era, stars are always wary of each other, and there are not so many strange connections in private.

Especially when the media exaggerates so-called hatred and old enemies, players will really hate each other.

A beast like Thomas is looking for trouble with Wilson out of spite.

A torn Eastern Conference led to a Western Conference victory.

The Eastern stars only did one thing well throughout the whole process.

It just makes it easy for Chambers to score every time.

This courteous style makes Chambers worthy of becoming AMVP.

Another reason Louis loves contemporary.

Although the players have no quality, they are polite and respect the elders, but they do not care for the young.

Being polite means letting the landlord perform to his heart's content and give the fans a fun game, unlike some players in the future who don't care what the landlord does just to show off.

Respecting the elderly is simple. Now there are doctors, and before there was Bob Cousy, they all received the greatest courtesy at the All-Star Game.

The doctor took his final bow at the All-Star Game with flowers and applause.

Louis thought of Kobe's final game in 2016.

Did any young people take him seriously at that time?

Everyone talks about respect, but their hands are dirty. On the surface, they pretend to want Kobe to play in the All-Star Game without regrets. In fact, when the game starts, they would rather take shots that are meaningless and not good-looking.

Fans were unhappy with the three-point shot and didn't want Kobe to play more irons for everyone in the All-Star Game.

Another big regret after Louis traveled through time was that he didn't see James' All-Star finale. Then he would know whether it was a human problem or whether young people had really forgotten the tradition of respecting the elderly.

The All-Star Game is over, and Louis is surrounded by controversy as usual.

The point of this controversy is simple.

It's about the problems between the young stars of the Knicks and the three superstars of the Celtics.

Louis sat in front of them and asked funnyly: "Every time we play a game, we get beaten to death, and the scene is extremely cruel. Do you expect people like them to have a good personal relationship? They hate each other and don't even give

Passing the ball to each other seems reasonable to me."

"Shouldn't you put a stop to this?"

"Stop it?" Louis asked, "Why should I do this?"

"Because the All-Star Game is a harmonious and beautiful stage..."

Louis smiled and said: "This is your opinion. I think the All-Star Game should allow fans to see the real stars. I don't want to whitewash it. It seems that everything is going well. Rather than them loving each other, I want to see them today."

It’s so late that we exclude each other.”

"What's more..."

Louis made the conflict public: "It was not the Knicks team that started doing this. If you watched the game, you should be able to see that Isiah Thomas was the instigator of everything."

Louis will make a big splash every now and then.

From the last time they complained about the Celtics' home court advantage, which is why the winning rate is so high, this time they publicly dissed Thomas as the person responsible for the disharmony in the Eastern Stars.

Media reporters like Louis' revelations. Sometimes they don't need to ask any questions, Louis will explain things clearly.

Now, the pressure is on Thomas.

He denied it, insisting that his failure to pass a ball to Wilson on the court was an accident.

The New York media stood up and focused their fire.

All media outlets stepped down one after another to make their voices heard in this public opinion war in the sports world.

Louie was interviewed by David Stern.

Stern admired Louis, but disapproved of his behavior of making conflicts public.

Louis had no intention of going against Stern.

"Mr. President, this will help the alliance's exposure." Louis cut into an angle that Stern was more interested in. "Whether it is good or bad reputation, for the alliance, it is an increase in prestige. And the alliance does not

No one was criticized for this. The only one who was criticized was Isiah Thomas. It was a good deal to exchange his fame for the world's attention."

Stern was originally dissatisfied with Louis's frequent mischief in front of the media, but now that he has explained it like this, he feels that it is not unacceptable.

"Didn't you and Isiah work together before?" Stern asked, "How did it come to this?"

Louis smiled: "David, don't you have someone you hate very much, but you have to work with him?"

Stern smiled lightly and said: "I understand."

"So, I'm fine, right?" Louis asked.

"This matter is only between you and Boston. You cannot drag the third team into the water, nor can you mention anything related to the league. Do you understand?"

"certainly."

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Stern invited Louis to sit down.

Louis felt that things would not be easy, so he sat down to see what he wanted to do next.

Stern placed a document in front of Louis.

"Let's see."

Louis took the document and took a look.

This is a contract, written in Chinese and English.

At first, Louis watched with the attitude of an outsider.

After reading a few paragraphs, he discovered that this was a cooperation contract between NBA officials and domestic CCTV.

However, this contract was obviously drawn up unilaterally by the NBA.

Stern wants to open up overseas markets, so in recent years he has been fighting for FIBA ​​to untie professional players so that the best players in the world can represent the national team.

At the same time, he cannot miss the huge Asian market.

China is undoubtedly an important part of allowing the alliance to expand into Asia.

"Do you think this contract will be accepted?" Stern asked.

It's obvious that Stern doesn't care about upfront returns.

The league will give CCTV NBA broadcast rights free of charge to expand the NBA's influence in the country.

Is this the famous contract that Stern signed after waiting for several hours in the CCTV reception desk before being received?

"I think there is no problem in general, but a few more can be added."

Louis mentioned several terms that are politically correct in China.

"This..." Stern was worried about American public opinion.

Louis smiled and said: "Are you going to expose this contract without any problem? Or are you worried that they will expose this contract? China is a rapidly growing country. Once the market there is opened, in less than twenty years, China will

The market will bring a steady stream of wealth to the alliance."

For Jews, doctrine is worthless compared to money.

"Will adding these terms really get them to agree?" Stern worried.

Louis encouraged him: "Even without these clauses, the contract content proposed by the alliance is very attractive. But with these clauses, they will feel that you sincerely want to cooperate with them."

"I often do transactions, and I know that sincerity is the most important part in transactions." Louis said.

Stern's face tensed up for more than ten seconds before he smiled.

"Hehe, who doesn't know that you, Coach Lu, are one of the best 'loyal people' in the league?"

It sounds like a compliment, but the tone is so weird...

"Ha, David, don't say that, I'm not that good yet..."
