The rest is just noise

The 1990 NBA All-Star Weekend was held in Miami.

Although Miami only officially joined the league last season, Louis has visited this place quite often.

Because this place is warm all year round, it is suitable for tourism.

The first time you come there will be fresh, and the second time you will still be unsatisfied, but as you go more often, just like those scumbag men who have beautiful wives but still can’t keep the thing in their crotch, they will soon find the reason.

Allow yourself to lose your virginity.

That's what Miami is like for Louie.

There is no winter in this place, and the summer is especially hot. Of course, he prefers hot temperatures to severe cold. At the same time, it has a famous beach, which is clear and rarely has big waves, and dolphins can often be seen.

For ordinary people, this city with a large number of Latinos is very beneficial. The food of Latinos is delicious and cheap. At the same time, the rent is not high, and you can rent a house by the sea with the average money in the United States.

Another thing that is extremely important to some people - Miami is definitely the "best place to watch hot girls" All-Star city team starters.

These are the advantages in Louis' eyes, followed by some disadvantages.

Silly people walking around - there are too many stupid rich people from third world countries. They have nothing but money, so they show off their money everywhere and wear famous brands without knowing the origin of the brand. It is superficial.

And stupid.

The traffic is terrible, as if the traffic lights don't exist.

There are a large number of Latins in the area who Louis hates deeply, because the rumor that Coca-Cola kills sperm originated from them. In the 1950s, many Latins in South America would pour Coke into Na-Na after Na-Na-Na in order to kill Na-Na.

.

As for Louis himself, if he travels, he would choose Miami.

But if you want to settle down, this is by no means a good choice.

This year, the Knicks have the most players in the league participating in the All-Star Weekend.

Three players were selected as All-Stars, Doug West and Shawn Kemp participated in the dunk contest; Reggie Miller and Wilson participated in the three-point contest.

Originally, Jeff Hornacek also wanted to participate in the three-point contest, but he gave up when he saw that Miller was going to participate.

He believed that he could not vote for Miller and that he would have another chance in the future.

In addition, Louis was re-elected as the head coach of the Eastern Stars.

This time he didn't make any excuses to refuse, and he could just take his family to Miami for some fun.

After getting off the plane, everyone in the Knicks team went about their own business.

Wilson and Ewing each have their own activities to participate in.

Louis was invited by Heat general manager Lewis Shafir to a Spanish restaurant.

Shafir doesn't like high-end restaurants. He feels that the food there is no better than the well-received ordinary restaurants, except that it is more expensive.

On this matter alone, Louis had the same opinion as him.

If it was just Louis and Shafir having a dinner together, they might not even need to book the restaurant. Because Shafir is not a celebrity, and although Louis is a celebrity, his influence in the Miami area is far less than that in the Pacific region.

The places where Louis had greater influence were mainly in the central and eastern regions where New York State is located, and in commercially developed western regions such as New England and California, where Boston is located.

Miami is a tourist city, and the sports industry in the southeast is not developed yet. Louis is really not afraid of being recognized here.

But, his wife will.

No one knows who Lorraine Molina is, but everyone knows who Monica Bellucci is.

When Louis took Lorraine to his seat, Shafir stood up cordially: "Monica, I hate you."

"ha?"

"Because of you, I often have to stay up late and watch Baywatch."

Lorraine said proudly: "This is my honor."

"He literally watches every episode," Shafir's wife said.

Louis smiled bitterly. Although he didn't want Lorraine to sell her flesh, "Baywatch" is a late-night drama with handsome men and beautiful women as its selling point.

I just didn't expect that Lorraine would replace one of the original main characters, and it would also raise the ceiling of this TV series.

After all, TV dramas themselves do not attract audiences with acting skills and scripts.

The reason why its ratings are so high is simple: it allows men to stay up until midnight to feast their eyes on it, and it also lets many little boys know that they can see beauties wearing sexy swimsuits as long as they stay up late.

"Coach Lu, I heard that you are the team that has participated in the most All-Star Weekends this time. Congratulations."

Shafir got down to business.

"Congratulations. It's rare to have a holiday, so you should have a good rest." Louis didn't find this gratifying.

Shafir was filled with envy: "If only we had three players selected for the All-Stars..."

"Speaking of which, Hank seems to be doing well." Louis said unexpectedly.

Hank Gathers didn't just play well, he played very well.

His playing time was strictly limited to 32 minutes, and he averaged 23 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.4 blocks per game. As a rookie, he did not have many technical weaknesses.

He can shoot, he can take advantage of the situation, his pick-and-roll quality is high, and he can also attack in the low post when needed.

He is an insider who has offensive ability and can get the ball at critical moments.

Paired with Drazen Petrovich, who was acquired from the Knicks for nothing, and a group of young talents, the Heat, which has been established for two years, is already a strong team in the Eastern Conference.

Speaking of Gathers, Shafir beamed with joy: "Isn't it? He completely exceeded our expectations and was full of energy on the court. Moreover, he is also a good person off the court and is willing to participate in community activities. He is really a rare person.

Core players.”

"That's good."

Louis is happy to see the Heat rise. The Eastern Conference, which is like a stagnant pool of water, really needs new energy, because the current Western Conference is too involution.

The Lakers, Trail Blazers, Jazz, and Suns, there are four teams in one division that can compete for tickets to the finals. As for the Eastern Conference, the only ones who can compete with the Knicks are the Celtics who have finished running in.

The Pistons look good, but they can only guarantee the top four in the Eastern Conference, and it is difficult to go further.

"Coach Lu, without you, Miami would not be where it is now." Shafir raised his glass and said, "I will never forget your help to me. I hope our friendship will last forever."

"Come on, if you don't win a game against us in the future, just call me and tell me whether you have something or not. I'll be very grateful."

"Coach Lu, there will definitely be no next time."

"I believe you, but I'm skeptical."

After lunch, Louis and Shafir separated temporarily.

In addition to the All-Star Game, every year during the All-Star Weekend, each team will send executives to hold a meeting at the venue where the event is held.

There are also conferences and small conferences.

Small meetings are those meetings where nothing serious happens, where you meet to talk and chat.

Conferences are often the year when the television broadcast contract expires or is about to be renewed, and the labor agreement expires and needs to be renewed.

The labor and management parties have renewed a new collective bargaining agreement that expires in 1994, but the league still has one major matter to discuss.

Negotiations on television broadcast contracts.

NBC's offensive is fierce. It is hard to say whether CBS can still compete with NBC after spending large sums of money to buy broadcast rights for the Olympics, college basketball and other events.

Moreover, there are doubts within the NBA about whether to continue to cooperate with CBS.

In the hotel, Louis and Lorraine handed the child over to Li Xuanbing.

Lorraine is helping Louis dress up.

"You are too serious. There are all old guys in their 40s, 56s, and 70s at this meeting. With my appearance, some people would believe me if they said I was the sun god descending to earth."

Louis looked confidently in the mirror.

"Any one of them would be as insignificant as an ant standing next to me."

Lorraine couldn't help laughing and said: "Why are you more narcissistic than me?"

"Have it?"

"There's none?"

Louis said with a bad smile: "I didn't just say to anyone, 'Are you watching this year's All-Star Game? I'm the head coach of the Eastern Conference Stars.'"

"I didn't do that!" Lorraine patted Louis shyly.

She really didn't.

But it's almost the same - Lorraine was nominated for a Morning Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress for her role in "Baywatch."

Since the 1980s, the selection criteria for the Emmy Awards and Oscars have begun to align with social response. The more people pay attention to the award in society, the higher the probability of winning.

Lorraine's role in the play has aroused astonishing attention, with various film reviews giving mixed reviews.

Therefore, most people think that she will easily win the Morning Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress.

Even she believed it herself, so she couldn't help but "show off" everywhere.

For example, she would ask deliberately and tentatively: "Have you heard of the Morning Emmy Awards?"

From this point, it progresses step by step until the other party learns that she is the number one favorite for Best Supporting Actress in this year's Morning Emmy Award and praises her.

"Yeah, you definitely didn't do this, um, so why do my colleagues' wives know that you are going to win the award?" Louis approached Lorraine, "Monica, why do you think this is?"

Lorraine said reflexively: "Because I'm about to win the award, and everyone is a friend, so I'll inform them in advance to save them from being too surprised!"

Louis started praying from this second, let her win the award!

It’s all like this, if you don’t get the award, how will it end?

"What's wrong with you, dear?" Lorraine asked.

"I'm happy for you. You are such a considerate and considerate wife, a good friend, and a good person. You are just a little too narcissistic."

"I don't have any~~~~!!!"
