The rest is just noise

Lin Junwu stood out in this match, scoring 24 points, 9 rebounds and 14 assists.

There is one thing about this kid that Louis feels bad about. He is obsessed with data.

He always wants to get the most points, the most rebounds and the most assists.

Just looking at his performance, sometimes it's hard to tell which one is more important to him, data or the outcome of the game.

But he is only 15 and a half years old now, so it is normal for him to have thoughts about data. After all, there are many high school coaches watching.

If he wanted to leave a deep impression on the coaches in attendance, he undoubtedly achieved it.

All the high school coaches at the scene wanted to bring him to their teams. To be able to have such immediate combat ability at the age of 15 and a half is not at all a D1 level potential, but someone who can imagine the NBA.

This conclusion made Louis feel a little dizzy.

Has the potential to play the No. 1 position in the NBA?

He would not draw a conclusion so early, but the high school coaches present were all veterans who had been involved in college basketball for decades and had seen countless talents. They knew what kind of strength a young prospect would need to play in the NBA.

Louis did not decide Lin Junwu's future on the spot.

He will only provide a few options. As for which high school to go to, it is up to Lin Junwu to choose.

After inspecting the goods for the coaches, Louis invited everyone to dinner.

Give these coaches the opportunity to communicate individually with their players.

Before they came to the United States, the road school paid close attention to English classes. Although I cannot say that everyone can speak fluent English, simple communication is no problem. The main reason is that there are not many opportunities to use it in China. They came to the United States to practice in this environment.

alright.

After that, Louis temporarily put down the fourth-stage child.

Preseason training camp for the 1989-90 season is about to begin.

Unfortunately, Louis wanted to spend more time with his wife and children at home, but Lorraine was preparing for her new play "Home Alone."

Originally, John Hughes planned to change the male + male team of thieves to male + female, and the female thief would be Lorraine. But Louis knew how badly the two thieves were dealt with by the kid in this play, and he didn't want to see it

Lorraine is acting ugly, and she doesn't want her good vase to turn into a funny vase.

Therefore, Lorraine got the role of the kid's mother.

Of course, there are sacrifices. The kid's parents are minor supporting roles. The main roles are the kid and the two thieves. They have the most scenes, but who makes Louis a perfectionist? Monica Bellucci plays it.

Ugly, is this something humans do?

The day before the training camp started, Louis accidentally saw Lu Wuxia playing basketball in the small gymnasium at home.

Lu Wuxia was born in December 1984. Strictly speaking, he is not yet 5 years old, but according to domestic calculations, he is already 6 years old, so it is normal for him to play with a ball alone.

Neither Louis nor Lorraine have great athletic talents, but there is one thing that is good for children.

They all grow tall.

Louis's bare feet are 191 centimeters, and Lorraine's bare feet are 173 centimeters. This means that as long as this child does not inherit the genes that stretch his hips too much, he will be able to grow to over 190 in the future.

If you want to train a basketball player, at least his height should be appropriate.

But if he doesn't have enough talent, Louis doesn't want him to go down this path.

He has already earned enough assets to make his two children worry-free for the rest of their lives. If this path were not feasible, there would be no need. Because practicing sports is very tiring, and professional sports is a game for geniuses.

Basketball is a sport that requires very demanding physical talents.

Lu Wuxia now has to use irregular postures to shoot the ball into the basket.

That was obviously taught by Tomjanovich. Although it was not standard, it allowed Lu Wuxia to score goals without using a short basket/experience the purest fun of basketball.

Then Louis discovered that this kid had a good feel for the ball.

When he dribbles the ball, his hand movements are not stiff.

Probably because Tomjanovich is his teacher, his dribbling details are very good, and there is no obvious unfamiliarity with his left and right hands.

Louis rarely has the patience to watch players train.

Because he basically does not supervise training, the Knicks have such good training quality. First, they rely on the players' self-awareness, second, the strength of Tomjanovich and others, and third, the fierce competition formed by the large number of players in the team who can play for a long time.

.

The Knicks are rolling like crazy.

Moreover, Louis is not from a professional basketball background and has never even played college basketball. He can point out problems, but if the players say "you can do it, you can do it," he really can't do it.

In order to avoid this embarrassment, Louis simply left all the supervision of training to the assistant coach, which actually created a little white space between the players and him.

Without a coach watching over them, they can relax a little while doing individual training.

Louis saw that the people were impatient, but he watched his son dribbling a ball with great interest for more than half an hour.

If his mother hadn't urged him to eat, Louis would have lost track of time.

"What are you looking at? Your son is called to come for dinner!" Li Xuanbing shouted loudly.

Louis had to interrupt his son's basketball time: "Lu Wuxia, your grandma called you home for dinner!" (Chinese)

"I'm not hungry!"

"When you finish eating, you can play whatever you want."

"real?"

"Mom hasn't been at home recently, do you think I would lie to you?"

"Long live daddy!"

Obviously it is beneficial for Lorraine to film outside, and Louis obviously feels like the head of the family.

But don’t think that he is a younger brother in the family. No, it’s not like that. He just follows Lorraine’s happiness in most things. When it’s time for him to make a decision, he says it and the matter is settled. Who wouldn’t do this?

Got it.

After lunch, Lu Wuxia hugged the ball and ran to the court.

Louis suddenly felt a little emotional. Before, he tried every means to hope that Lu Wuxia would learn to play basketball. Now that he fell in love with basketball, he began to worry that the child had no athletic talent.

Louis played a shooting game with him for more than an hour.

The basic rule is whoever puts in the ball continues.

In order to get his son to shoot more, Louis would deliberately miss some shots.

Louis discovered that this kid was more or less talented, such as touch.

He felt it when he was John Long's shooting partner. Unexpectedly, he still started playing basketball after not playing much for many years.

It's a pity that if Louis had been a guard back then, he might not have been able to play in the NBA with his touch, but he would have been fine playing overseas semi-professional basketball⑴.

More than an hour later, Louis passed away.

He could only sit and drink Coke, and then watch Lu Wuxia hit the ball by himself and occasionally shoot one.

Lu Wuxia is interested in various dribbling skills and has a lot of energy.

Louis couldn't believe that this kid was exhausted after playing basketball all day, and he was still playing.

This energy is like when he was 20 years old, but this kid is not even 5 years old.

Later, Louis thought that it was not that Lu Wuxia had good physical strength, but that his physical strength was too poor.

It’s no wonder that if you sit in an office all year round and lose weight by eating small meals and not exercising, will your physical strength be good?

I thought about how healthy he lived when he was at Ohio State. He took classes, worked out, studied scouting reports, and went to nightclubs to light firecrackers. I didn't expect that he would be like this now.

Louis felt a little ashamed of his years of idleness.

But only that little bit.

"Dad, I want to drink Coke."

"No, you can't drink Coke."

Louis prepared ice water for him.

"Why?"

"Because you are still young, if you drink Coke now, you may not grow taller in the future."

I don’t know if you need to swallow a needle to deceive a child. Louis thinks that since his child likes basketball so much, he should pay more attention to it in the future.

As long as Lu Wuxia has the possibility of playing professional basketball, he will do his best to help him achieve this goal.

If not, then the most important mission in his remaining life is to persuade him to give up basketball. It is better to be a loser than to work hard in vain.

Lu Wuxia played from seven o'clock to ten thirty. If Louis hadn't used the excuse of a power outage in the gymnasium (actually he turned off the power switch), this stupid boy would have continued to fight.

Even on the short walk home from the gym, he kept dribbling.

If this isn't a football fanatic, Louis doesn't know what is.

I just hope his love for basketball can last.

I also hope that his body will not live up to this love and have some good talents. Please, Louis has no problem with genetic mutations like Jordan/David Robinson/Thick Eyebrows. Really, but if this thing really happens

, he will definitely take the boy for a blood test

The next day, before leaving home, Louis asked the nanny to pay attention to Lu Wuxia's playing time. He gave his daughter kisses full of fatherly love and made her cry. After being scolded by his mother, he left him with a playful smile.

s home.

This year, the Knicks’ preseason training camp will still be held at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

In the summer, the Knicks introduced a number of high-quality players.

Not to mention Sam Bowie, after arriving in New York, Bowie immediately asked Louis out for dinner.

At that dinner, he expressed his willingness to accept the position of substitute, regardless of playing time. He did not want to become a destabilizing factor for the team.

Known as the Diamond Generation in 1984, the first three picks, Olajuwon, Jordan, and Barkley, each had their own dazzling qualities. Although the fourth pick, Sam Perkins, failed to fulfill his potential, he was basically a strong player. Only Bowie

, although he is capable, his body is too fragile, and he has been criticized a lot.

Being traded to the Knicks was a major turning point in his career, and he hoped that he could become an important part of the team.

He has an obsession to win the championship earlier than Jordan, Barkley, Olajuwon and others.

That dinner made Louis realize that what he got might not be the Bill Walton of the Celtics.

No, Bowie may have many surprises in store.

Maybe they got the Bill Walton from the Clippers days.

Walton only played 169 games in 6 seasons with the Clippers, averaging 11.9 points, 9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.3 blocks per game, which is almost the same as Bowie's statistics with the 76ers.

For a Bowie who has no problem with his attitude and doesn't care about playing time. He just wants to win the championship and prove himself. Is it an extravagant hope to expect him to play like Walton during the Clippers era?

As for what Sean Kemp’s arrival means

Please look forward to analyzing this issue next time.
