The rest is just noise

"Rudy, this is day four of our weight loss day."

In Louis' office, he greeted his favorite colleague warmly.

Tomjanovich smiled bitterly and said, "How are you doing?"

"I think I can keep going." Louis laughed, "I met a homeless man in the morning. He complimented me on my good skin. This is all due to my weight loss."

Zhao Yuanzheng saw that Louis and Tomjanovich's faces were not very good.

Later, he discovered that Louie's and Tomjanovich's meal packages were identical.

"Why do you use the same meal kit?" Zhao Yuanzheng asked.

Louis explained: "Apparently, Rudy and I were on a diet and it was Marlena's suggestion. She heard about it at the Mommy and Baby Training Class at 77-77, 23 Madison Avenue."

"I just don't understand. Isn't your daughter already 2 years old?"

"Yes, my son has learned to curse."

"Xiao Zhao, my child doesn't call it swearing, it calls it cognitive impairment." Louis couldn't help but explain to his eldest son, "Although this child has been smart since he was a child, he still doesn't know the specific meaning of 'WTF'.

"

Zhao Yuanzheng stared at their lunch, "Is this weight loss method scientific?"

"Is it scientific? What you're asking is unreasonable."

Louis sat next to Tomjanovich and said: "Rudy and I spent a day making recipes and contacting restaurants. Each meal was planned in advance and delivered to your door by the restaurant guy. Look, this is us

lunch.”

Zhao Yuanzheng looked over.

He saw a piece of whole wheat bread, five cashew nuts, and a small box of dip.

"That's it?"

Tomjanovich said bitterly: "Yes, it is very 'rich'. Sometimes I can't finish it."

"I think you're wasting your efforts." Zhao Yuanzheng felt that no one could successfully lose weight in this way. He ignored Louis's belly and said against his will, "I think you all have a good figure."

Tomjanovich couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Well, you have to tell Coach Lu about this. He believes that 'good' should not be the standard for a championship coach. He wants to be the best."

Louis has finished his lunch.

"Yes, this will also help to enhance our team spirit." Louis packed the meal bags, "Rudy and I will definitely be able to lose weight successfully."

After saying that, Louis walked out of his office.

After the Louis people left, Zhao Yuanzheng told the truth: "No, you also want to lose weight? You don't need it at all, Rudy."

Tomjanovich said bitterly: "He wants to share the joys and sorrows with me, and it is necessary to control my weight so that I can reduce many diseases when I get older. To be honest, he is right, and I am too.

I thought, eh”

Zhao Yuanzheng just felt sorry for Tomjanovich, a comrade in his forties who was strong enough to take a punch from Kermit Washington, but was led by Louis to lose weight. His staple food for lunch every day was a piece of whole wheat bread.

"How about I talk to Lu and tell him that you want to take my place, so that you two young people can lose weight together and I don't have to suffer." Tomjanovich said matter-of-factly.

Zhao Yuanzheng suddenly felt suffocated.

In those few seconds of silence, Tomjanovich was more embarrassed than the female reporter who listened to the furious "RNM refunds" from Chinese football fans.

Zhao Yuanzheng found a way to change the topic.

"Rudy, there are still a lot of organic matter in the meal bag. Take a lick. How can you have the strength to lose weight if you don't eat enough? What about, I have something to do with Coach Lu, where are the others?"

"He just left, right in front of you."

"Oh, really?" Zhao Yuanzheng has basic acting skills. "You see, my brain is really bad. I haven't seen Coach Lu for just a few minutes. It feels like Coach Lu disappeared in front of me for a few minutes."

Tomjanovich: ""

Louis was holding Coke in his hand, which was the only thing he couldn't give up during his weight loss period.

If he doesn't drink Coke, his brain will become dull and people will become irritable. Every full moon, he will turn into a gorilla and climb up the Empire State Building. Well, this won't happen, but everyone has seen how scary an angry Louis is.

of.

Therefore, no one questioned whether Louis's weight loss plan was taking off his pants and farting.

Billy Donovan watched the match on the court with a solemn expression.

"Is anyone dead?" Louis asked.

Donovan answered Louis seriously; "I do think someone will die on the court. 'Jamaica Star' and 'Big Shoulder Wind' played a very fierce game."

As you can tell from the names, the Jamaica Stars are Ewing's team, while the Big Shoulders are Wilson's team.

He is from Chicago, also known as the Windy City and the City of Big Shoulders.

Last season, when they were trailing 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals with the Celtics, Louis changed the intensity of the Knicks' game.

Since then, the intensity has not been adjusted back.

The Knicks' daily competition is like a fast-paced playoff game, and the sense of competition between Ewing and Wilson has been greatly enhanced.

Louis watched for half a minute before he knew what Donovan was worried about.

It's too intense.

And not only the physical collisions were fierce, but the verbal conflicts between them were also fierce.

Wilson rushed in with the ball. He spent the entire offseason gaining 11 pounds and became an extremely strong forward.

Therefore, he went to Ewing head-on, pushed Ewing away and completed a layup.

"Patrick, 3 million a year is not that easy to earn," Wilson provocatively said.

Before Ewing could regain the court, McHale used his signature up and down steps to fight back.

"Benj, no matter how dissatisfied you are, Patrick will always get more money than you."

"Really? I don't think so." Wilson rubbed his sneakers deliberately.

He is a popular star of Converse, and just this summer, he signed a surprising endorsement contract with Converse.

In order to build on Wilson's championship popularity, Converse hurriedly released Wilson's first "Converse Arms" boots in September.

Ewing could have made more than Wilson.

But the image he presents to the outside world is too bad. A star who is indifferent and refuses to smile will not be loved by the media.

Wilson was a born idol, easily picking up what Ewing had rejected.

Behind them, their agency team also launched a media relations debate over the summer about who is the top player in the Knicks.

Things are tough for both Dan Marley and Ronnie Seikaly.

Ewing knocked Sekali down on every possession, and referee Brad Rohaus didn't even blow the whistle even though his "foul cry" broke his throat.

Marley initially showed off his shooting range on the first day of training camp, and then was beaten to death by the veterans.

It was impossible for him to find his touch in intra-team competitions, so his daily training program changed from 100% training with the ball to 60% training without the ball and 40% training with the ball.

What is the result of this?

His physical confrontation will gradually catch up and adapt to the intensity of confrontation within the Knicks, but the lack of ball training and the muscle tension caused by a large amount of strength training will make his muscle memory lose its way.

Some people will take months or even years to slowly find it back, and some people just lose it and never find it back.

This match allowed Louis to see his true intensity.

When Rodman came to the "Jamaica Stars", he also played hard on Wilson's defense.

Under his leadership, Wilson was overthrown many times.

In turn, Wilson's defense prevented him from even seeing the basketball.

Although McHale has a playful face, it is difficult to survive in this atmosphere where everyone treats his teammates as enemies.

Just as he was about to move up and down, John Salley violated the cylinder.

Luo Haos has not called a foul today.

"Brad, isn't this a foul?"

"Kevin, don't be such a pussy!" Ewing angrily scolded his teammates, "The bastard on the other side never asked for a foul!"

The Knicks' intra-squad games are divided into two halves, and the latest rule is 12 minutes in each half.

Therefore, the entire game is only half of the official game.

But the intensity is too high.

Today is a special situation where both sides' emotions have gone to extremes.

Ewing took the ball with his back, and Wilson left Rodman alone, putting tremendous pressure on him from the side.

Seikali seriously wanted to keep up with the intensity of the veteran players, and his confrontation was far behind, but with Wilson's help, he dared to attack Ewing.

Ewing dropped the ball and Rodman flew out of bounds to recover the ball, but the ball fell into the hands of his opponent.

"You might as well not pounce on this." Louis complained.

Rodman chuckled and said, "I'm used to it."

Because he was chatting with Louis, he missed returning to defense. Just when he was about to be lazy and show some guys in the future who would deliberately not return to defense and wait for the ball to pass into the empty basket how to score points correctly, something happened in the frontcourt.

Except for Rodman, the other four members of the Jamaica Stars all returned to their defensive positions.

Hornacek's pass to Wilson was extremely tricky.

From a 45-degree angle on the left, Wilson cut in with the ball and jumped one meter high. Ewing was right under the basket and wanted to stop him, but he could no longer guard against Wilson who jumped forward.

In this case, the center who jumps on the spot has no advantage.

Wilson knocked Ewing to the ground in the air and hit a dunk that made Donovan open his mouth in disbelief.

What intensified the matter was Wilson's behavior after dunking the ball and landing. He actually stepped directly over Ewing.

“!#@￥%￥#……”

Ewing stood up, mumbling words that no one could understand, and pushed Wilson down from behind. If his teammates hadn't stopped him, his fist would have landed on Wilson.

Wilson, who was pushed to the ground, realized what he had just done.

Fortunately, these people all knew what was most important, and the tense atmosphere suddenly turned into a group of peacemakers trying to comfort Ewing, who had transformed into a Full Moon King Kong.

"Sorry, Patrick." Wilson walked up to Ewing and apologized, "I just overdid it."

Ewing wanted to punch Wilson in the face, but he had already apologized, so what else could he say?

"Patrick, show some grace." Louis shouted dissatisfied.

Ewing bit his lip and said, "I was also wrong."
