The rest is just noise

Chapter 614: The Destroyed Indiana Professional Basketball

Louis was forced to take part in something.

It's about the company's promotional activities.

This is the company you think of that publishes superhero comics. They are currently conducting a poll.

Readers are asked to vote to decide whether Batman will live or die in the latest issue.

Louis doesn't read comics, and his children are not old enough to understand comics. He voted because he accidentally discovered that Wilson called on everyone to vote "live."

Because of Wilson, the entire Knicks team, except for Louie, voted to "let him live."

Only Louis, who voted "don't let him live".

It’s not that he wants to go against Wilson, he just knows that this is the company’s routine. Regardless of whether Batman is dead or alive, as one of the most popular characters in superhero comics, death is definitely inevitable.

Moreover, this voting activity brought back memories of his long ago. Before his time travel, he had been a fan of "Love Apartment". This notorious plagiarism-stitched drama left a mark at the end of its second season.

A huge suspense was created. The crew asked the audience to decide whether Brother Zeng would leave the love apartment with 1 million, or give up 1 million for love and friendship.

Although Louis still couldn't figure out what the relationship between that 1 million and whether to leave or not, and what 1 million could do in Shanghai in 2010, he voted to let Brother Zeng leave. He just wanted to know how the show was like Jerusalem.

What would happen if Brother Zeng from the West left? As a result, although Brother Zeng took 1 million and left, he didn't leave completely. Because the screenwriter always had a way to bring him back.

Therefore, Louis voted for Batman to die.

The final vote resulted in a majority supporting Batman's death.

This is the most impressive thing about Louis this year besides winning the championship.

Another thing is that Wayne Gretzky was traded to Los Angeles. This was a shocking transaction and can be called the largest transaction in NHL history.

The best player in history was traded during his prime, covering multiple players, draft picks and $15 million in cash.

Although there are many trivial matters, Louis' progress never stops.

The Knicks start the new season with high expectations from the outside world.

Won two consecutive victories and faced the Chicago Bulls at home.

Dennis Johnson was retained during the offseason, and Barkley, who is slowly entering his prime, has turned the Bulls into a team worthy of attention.

However, the Knicks' defense forced the Bulls to commit 20 turnovers in the game.

Wilson scored 18 points just by counterattacking and easily scored 32 points, leading the team to 121-80 and slaughter the Bulls with 41 points.

"It's not difficult." Louis said with a relaxed face, "We plan to end the November schedule with a complete victory."

Everyone discovered that the frivolous Louis from 1984 was back.

The next game was an away game. They came to Washington. The opponent's lineup included former New York King Bernard King.

Louis specifically asked Rodman to replace Miller and guard King.

As a result, his defense was in place.

Facing King's offense, Rodman's defense was airtight, controlling all possible problem points.

Bullets head coach and former Bullets player Wes Unseld said bitterly: "We don't have an answer on how to limit the Knicks, and in turn, the Knicks have an answer for us."

Last year, when Unseld and Bill Russell took over the reins at the same time, it sparked a lot of discussion.

After all, when they were players, these two were team-oriented, with good golf intelligence and leadership skills. They are certainly not bad as coaches.

But Russell already had a failed coaching experience in the 1970s.

This time, he and Unseld once again proved that today's alliance is not the alliance they were running around in.

At the end of the game when Unseld's Bullets were beaten by the Knicks, Louis held a 34-point advantage and said to his senior: "Sorry, I just wanted to win by 20 points at the beginning."

"Don't be too arrogant, young man, the regular season is very long." Unseld could only leave with a mild and harsh word.

On Singles' Day in 1988, the Knicks ushered in another focus game.

Away game against the Indiana Pacers.

If it were the Pacers before this year, it might not attract much attention.

But now they have Danny Manning, the No. 1 pick in the 1988 draft.

Little did Louis know that because of the butterfly effect caused by his arrival, Manning was not thrown into the rookie hell Los Angeles Clippers, but instead went to the Pacers, who were more professional and smarter in all aspects.

Therefore, this genius who fell into basketball hell in Louis' previous life may not necessarily fall into Indiana.

In several games so far this season, Manning has played like a small forward, averaging 18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

CBS rarely broadcasts games of weak teams, which is one of their conflicts with the league.

The league does not want CBS to always broadcast the strong teams competing for the championship and ignore the equally important weak teams. For CBS, which values ​​ratings more than life, strong teams are the guarantee of ratings.

As the best team in the league, most of their games are broadcast live.

Today's game against the Pacers was their most brutal game since the start of the new season.

The Pacers' coach is Jack Ramsey, a meritorious coach of the Trail Blazers and one of the coaches that Louis once respected very much.

However, more and more news broke out that Louis played a key role in the Blazers' selection of Jordan in the 1984 draft, which made Ramsey very angry. Even though the Blazers' selection had been proven to be correct and Jordan took off,

Bowie fell, but what Louis did was a gross interference in the internal affairs of his team, which was against the rules and stretched his hand too far.

Ramsey therefore told reporters: "I respect most teams, except New York, because their head coach is a spoiled brat."

The thing is, Louis doesn't think of himself as spoiled.

He suggested that the Trail Blazers choose Jordan because they want to repay Larry Weinberg's favor, and at the same time play the role of a time traveler and change history for fun.

Ramsey only cared about his involvement in the Blazers' internal affairs and did not care that he prevented the Blazers from being nailed to the pillar of shame. This made Louis lose all respect for him.

On the night of the game, Louis asked the players to use all their energy.

Wilson and Ewing responded to the call and scored 26 points together in the first quarter, while the others scored 7 points.

A 33-18 start.

Danny Manning is at a disadvantage in confrontation, and he cannot adapt to the Knicks' hand-to-hand tactics at all.

The proud No. 1 pick wants to win dignity for his team, but some dignity cannot be obtained by determination or other things alone.

Manning went down seven times in the game.

The sixth time, he hurt his ankle, and the seventh time, he was taken off the field on a stretcher.

Pacers legendary commentator "Slik" Leonard said: "The Knicks are as rude as the primitives!"

Neither Leonard nor the Indiana people expected that An Ning was injured and ended up being injured, which was just a small thing they had to experience tonight.

Reggie Miller, who should have been wearing a Pacers jersey, is now a pure Knick.

He also listened to what Louis said.

Moreover, Louis has a special bad taste and likes to watch these people kill his former employer.

After Miller's three-point shooting started, Louis ordered his players to run tactics and make plays for him.

Entering his second season as a professional, Miller is beginning to show his killer instinct.

His amazing shooting touch allows him to quickly hit the second ball after hitting the first ball.

In Louis' previous life, Miller's record for three-pointers in a single game was eight. Moreover, he only had two similar performances. This does not mean that he and the group of young players in the future who will score seven or eight three-pointers at every turn.

There is a gap between shooters in the ball era.

Because the focus of tactics is different.

Shooters in the small ball era only shot three-pointers, but for Miller during the Pacers era, three-pointers were only the main method, but not the only method. Don't forget, he is the only off-ball shooter in history who is the core of a team.

In his 18-year career, he averaged 18 points per game, but only made 1.8 three-pointers per game. Due to the limitations of the times, Miller did not take particularly many three-pointers.

It can be said that his three-point power is somewhat limited by the times.

But under Louis, there were no such restrictions.

Louis doesn't plan to use Miller as the core, he wants Miller to become his Klay Thompson.

Tonight, Miller fulfilled Louis' wish.

Facing the Pacers, he made 7 of 12 three-point shots from the outside, plus mid-range and rotating offense.

Miller scored a career-high 39 points.

From the beginning of the second quarter, the game became a show for the Knicks.

They enjoy killing their opponents.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks' lead reached 50 points.

Half of the crowd at the Pacers home game left.

Before the end of the fourth quarter, there were less than 15 fans left.

The whole game was 139 to 74. There has not been such a bloody game in the league for a long time.

The Pacers lost miserably to the Knicks at home with a huge gap of 65 points.

Jack Ramsey pushed Louis away during the post-match handshake and roared with a red face: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you should come to me, you should not humiliate my players!"

Louis spread his hands and said: "I used 13 rotations in this game. Even so, you still can't narrow the score. Why do you blame me? In my opinion, the only way for you to narrow the score is to allow

I'll go out there with three players or four players against five of your players."

If you've ever wondered what ultimate humiliation is, this is it.

Louis didn't do it deliberately, he just knew exactly what kind of strength his team had.

That night, the dignity of Indiana's professional basketball was completely destroyed by him.

For a long time, it was difficult to look up.

Being beaten by 65 points at home was too unpleasant to hear.

"Actually, this is nothing." The bad sports reporters of the New York Times wrote, "Leader Lu once led the Celtics to win by 81 points in Dallas."
