The rest is just noise

Luo Haos was closest to the battlefield, and he quickly stepped forward and hugged Oakley.

McHale was emotionally stable, and even though he was unhappy about being hit with a ball, he had no intention of exacerbating the incident.

Louis behaved calmly, and after Luo Haos controlled him, the idle people gradually came to comfort him.

"Have you finished the match?" Louis asked.

As their representative, Ewing said: "I think this matter is more important."

"When you guys come to the rescue, Kevin's brains will be knocked out, okay?"

Tomjanovich felt an inexplicable chill at the back of his head, as if the fist from 11 years ago had landed on his face again.

"You are going too far!" Tomjanovich said unhappily.

"You said you want to lose weight with me, I was stupidly eating bread that was worse than pig food, and you were eating a double beef burger. Who is more outrageous?"

"I…"

"If I had been bad-tempered, you would have been back in the ICU, you know?"

Louis stood on the moral high ground and denounced Tomjanovich, and then violently drove away the onlookers.

"The outcome of this game has been decided."

Louis looked at McHale: "Kevin, do what you have to do."

"As for you, you disgraceful piece of shit, come to my office!"

Louis snorted coldly.

"And you!" Louis glared at Tomjanovich, "Go buy me a burger and reward me!"

"No problem, what flavor do you want?"

"You and I have been working together for so many years and you can't even figure out my taste? It's up to you!"

Zhao Yuanzheng asked something he shouldn't have asked: "Coach, don't you want to lose weight?"

The oxygen in the air seemed to be sucked out of the air instantly.

Everyone felt suffocated.

"I understand, compared with losing weight, eating a good meal is the most important. To lose weight, you can't just refuse delicious food. You will be depressed. Coach Lu, today's meal is your cheat meal!"

"That's right, Xiao Zhao, you really understand me!"

Louis finally looked at Oakley: "Do you want to stay here and fight, or do you want to go to my office to explain the problem?"

Oakley's temper could be unleashed on anyone, but not on Louis.

Angry Louie is the most terrifying carbon-based creature he has ever seen.

Louis came into the office, and Oakley was about to speak.

"Take it easy and don't say anything until my dinner is delivered."

What is the most embarrassing thing in the world? Being called by your class teacher to have tea in the academic office, but the other person says nothing, creating an unspeakable atmosphere that destroys you psychologically.

Louis had been tortured like this many times before he traveled through time.

So now he has a tougher mouth than Da Sima and doesn't speak.

"coach…"

"Shut up."

Oakley sat there, his dissatisfaction with McHale turning into fear of Louie.

It took Tomjanovich 11 minutes to bring Louis the burger he wanted.

The aroma of barbecue comes from the beef sandwich in the bread.

Louis feels like he may be the happiest man in the world.

"You said that I am a human being, but I feel like crying when I eat a hamburger. What do you think I am doing all this hard work for? Isn't it just for enjoyment that people live in this world? Why should I have to eat like this?

Hamburgers all carry the blessing of a sinful mentality, right?”

Tomjanovich looked flattering: "Lu, you have the best figure I have ever seen. You don't need to lose weight at all."

"well…"

Even if everyone in the world is complaining about Louis' belly, he won't blink an eye.

However, one night before the training camp, while Lorraine was beating Louis on the bed, she suddenly said: "Honey, you should lose weight. How many times have Lun's Xiao Long Bao hit your fat?

"

That was the most devastating time Louis had after traveling through time.

He disarmed on the spot.

"Coach Lu, can I go?" Oakley naively thought that Louis only had the memory of a fish.

"Stop, I!" Louis scolded, "You stinky, shameless piece of shit, a piece of shit who can't afford to lose, a coward who is hard on the outside but soft on the inside, don't you fucking think this is just like this?"

forget it?"

It's all Oakley's fault, Louis feels his quality is low.

"You guys talk." Tomjanovich chose to avoid.

Louis gave Oakley so long to reflect that he had already thought of how to defend himself.

"Coach, I am also a player, and I also want to be shouted out by the DJ at the beginning of the game." Oakley's thoughts are shared by players. "I don't want to only play 40 minutes at an age where I can play 40 minutes."

20 minutes."

His appeal is reasonable.

On any team that doesn't have a star at the fourth position, Oakley can start.

But not with the Knicks.

The Knicks only need his fists and the best possible rebound protection when serving as a murderous press. When there is a conflict on the court, he can be the first to save the field.

Fighting was indeed a very important task in the years when Louis first arrived in New York.

As for Oakley's punching style, which gives everyone an advantage, Louis undoubtedly regards him as the team's long-term plan.

But today is different from the past. In this era, Isora Aoi, who is famous all over the world, is just a mediocre boy with a great talent. And today's Knicks, the need for Oakley to fight is not as urgent as in the past.

Because they are really all evil people now.

"I understand, Oak." Louis said, "I understand your thoughts, but I can't fulfill your wishes."

There was some frustration on Oakley's face.

"I can tell you the truth, even if Kevin dies in the training camp, you will not be the starting four in the new season."

These words hit Oakley straight in the chest.

Like poor Spinks, he was knocked to the ground by Tyson and couldn't get up again.

"What do you mean, I can only sit on the bench?" Oakley asked reluctantly, "I can only sit on the bench and be a fucking beast forever?"

Louis asked seemingly ruthlessly: "Don't you think this is the way to maximize your value? You are a top student with special skills. All I can do is let you do what you are good at."

"I don't think I can do it, coach." Oakley said excitedly, "I'm still very young and can still play for many years. I don't want to sit on the sidelines all the time!"

Louis asked: "Even if it is to continue to win the championship, isn't it okay?"

"I have a championship, Coach Lu." Oakley's current situation is the secret of the collapse of teams that have not successfully defended their championship titles.

In Louie's previous life, Pat Riley called this phenomenon "the disease of gluttony."

He wants more ball rights, he wants more playing time, he wants more rebounds, he wants more contracts - these are popular demands that tear apart great teams.

.

This is also the biggest difference between the salary cap era and the pre-salary cap era.

In the pre-salary cap era, wealthy teams could use big contracts to incentivize their benches to work hard.

In the salary cap era, each contract symbolizes a player's level within the team.

Players who identify with their own class will play well.

Players who don't agree with it will quickly dissipate.

That speed is faster than the fans themselves imagined.

"So, I can understand that as long as you can be in the starting lineup, you can accept it even if you can't win the championship, right?"

Louis asked seriously.

Oakley didn't know what his next answer meant.

Being traded? Or Louis's storming rage?

Whatever it was, Louis gave him enough time to think, and he thought he could accept any consequences.

"Coach, I have tasted the feeling of winning the championship. It is very sweet, but now I want to fight for myself."

Louis was silent for half a minute.

He knew that New York would lose Oakley soon.

And, they will lose more people for the same reason.

"Oc, I don't think there's anything inappropriate about your request. You deserve it, I understand."

What does this mean? It doesn't look like Louis will grant his wish.

"I give you two choices." Louis said, "One, play seriously, use all your strength, and win a good reputation for yourself. If a team wants you, I will make a deal and send you to New Jersey.

Where to start."

"Two, endure for a season like Dell. No matter how much time I give you or what tactical position I give you, you have to play with all your strength as long as you play. When the season is over, I will send you away and guarantee that you will be in the new team.

Become a starter, and you'll win a second ring."

Louis smiled and said: "These two options, no matter which one you choose, it is a win-win situation that everyone is happy with. If you don't want these and show resistance, or even become a cancer in the locker room and affect the team's chemical reaction, I will still

There is a third option."

Oakley listened carefully.

"If you want to fight for cooperation, I will make you disappear completely. I guarantee that you will not get even one second of playing time. I will also send you to the Los Angeles Clippers at the end of the season and wish you good luck.

.”

Louis gave Oakley a choice.

He was torn between options one and two.

Three is impossible. He has no reason to fall out with the team. He just wants to have a better future for himself.

"Coach, I don't know." Oakley asked, "Please help me make a decision."

"If I were you, I would choose the second one."

Louis said rationally: "You have just signed a new contract, so there is no need to use your performance to increase your worth in the short term. If you choose the second option, I will still regard you as an important member of the team and rely on you in many situations."

.The current situation, I don’t need to tell you, you should also understand that unless we destroy ourselves, no team can stop us from defending the championship. If you get your second ring as an important player in New York, no matter where you go

Every team, they will respect you as a champion."

"That's all I'll say. The rest is up to you to decide."

Oakley wants a certain future.

Louis has shown the way.

He had no reason to reject this man.

"Coach, I will stay and finish the season."

Louis said with hope: "I hope you can let the fans see the best of you like Dell did last year."

"I definitely will!"
