The rest is just noise

Louis did not spend the night at Dean's house. When the fireworks of passion turned into a low breath, he put on his own clothes.

"Where are you going?" Di Anlan asked.

Louis smiled and said: "Go home."

"Actually..." Di Anlan regarded Louis as a well-behaved and honest man, "You can spend the night here."

"Thank you for your kindness, but not tonight." Louis looked in the mirror and made sure he was dressed properly. "My mother is waiting for me at home." He said goodbye to Dean Lan.

All he was left with was confusion. Di Anlan didn't know why he was still afraid of the old woman even though he was such an old man.

Isn’t spending the night outside a compulsory course for young people?

There is no rebellious baby boomer who doesn't do this.

Louis took a taxi home. He seemed very happy. After all, he hadn't been around women for a long time.

When I got home, all the guests had left.

Li Xuanbing was watching TV alone in the living room. Louis walked into the room and was about to say something.

"Why did it take so long to have a meal?" Li Xuanbing asked.

Louis explained: "I also met a friend in the restaurant. We hit it off and had a very pleasant communication."

"Humph...it must be a girl, right?" Li Xuanbing saw through it at a glance.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." Louis didn't know where he was exposed. Later, he found out that there was a lipstick mark on his chin, which Li Xuanbing, who was sitting on the sofa, could see.

"Forget what happened in the past. I won't stop you from whatever you want to do, but if you dare to lie to me again..."

Louis answered very cooperatively: "You just treat me as your son!"

"It's good to know!" Li Xuanbing snorted.

In the next few days, Louis got tickets for the All-Star Weekend and brought Li Xuanbing to watch the game together.

Although she couldn't quite understand it, when she saw several of the millionaires on the court taking the initiative to say hello to Louis, she knew that Louis was doing well in the "Premium Black Drug-Taking League."

This year's All-Star Weekend was dominated by a lot of off-court happenings.

The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the advance negotiation between the players association and the management.

In the earliest days, players wanted status and a place that could find justice for them, so the Players Association was established. After the Players Association was established, they naturally hoped that the league could protect their food, clothing, housing, transportation and the rest of their lives, so the 1964 All-Stars were created.

There was a weekend strike; then their pursuit of freedom led to the Robertson case.

Now that they've secured restricted free agency, they're looking for bigger gains.

Larry Fleischer, a representative of the Players Association, one of the five most important people in NBA history, and also the most unknown lawyer, proposed that the owners and players share the profits from the broadcast contract. At this time, the owners seemed to be beaten.

The seven-inch venomous snake objected crazily.

They argued about this matter for many days, but to no avail.

The current collective bargaining agreement will expire in the summer of 1983, so they are still very quarrelsome.

What Louis feels deeply is that fans generally feel that players' salaries are too high. High salaries are also one of the reasons why fans hate the NBA. However, the violence on the court, the dominance of black people and the exclusive problem that intensified in the 1980s,

Gradually, high income became a small problem.

Since the league did not pay attention to the All-Star Weekend, it focused all its energy on arguing with Fleischer. Apart from the main game, there is no other highlight during the All-Star Weekend.

The main game was quite intense, and it was not a complete exhibition game.

Archibald was elected AMVP with 9 points and 9 assists.

The Eastern Stars narrowly won by 3 points.

With just a few days left until the season restarts, Louis is mainly at home being a mother.

He originally wanted Li Xuanbing to move to Boston to live with him, but she refused to go.

Because Boston is famous throughout the United States for its racial discrimination, and she has lived in Cleveland for more than ten years, which is almost her second hometown. She is not sure whether she can get used to other places.

Louis could only hire a nanny despite Li Xuanbing's strong objection (but to no avail).

It's not that Li Xuanbing can't take charge of his own diet and daily life, Louis just wants to control the situation at home. If something happens, how can he feel at ease if his mother insists on not saying anything.

In addition to being at home, Louis often goes to "Chinese Little Fashion".

He and Dianlan had several dates, but they never established a relationship, but they ended up in bed every time.

They are friends, but not boyfriend and girlfriend. Since neither of them has a lover, this is a bit like each other taking what they want.

Louis also learned that this situation is especially common among the younger generation.

Some of the more popular young people always have multiple friends of the opposite sex who can easily cross the line.

Before the emergence of HIV, this phenomenon of indulgence and hedonism had never abated and was gaining momentum.

As soon as the vacation was over, Louis rushed to Indiana University.

Auerbach was good friends with Indiana University coach Bob Knight, and with his introduction, Louie was able to observe their practices up close and get front-row tickets to games.

Knight's harshness in training was far beyond Louis' imagination.

He once thought that Bill Fitch was the tyrant among coaches, but compared with Knight, the gap between Wiggins and McGrady was almost the same.

It’s not on the same level at all!

"If you want to be successful, you should maximize your potential."

Knight's roar echoed throughout the training hall.

Unlike other devil coaches, the devils that Louis is familiar with will give their anger to their players and opponents on the field fairly, but Knight, he gave all his anger to his players.

He once violently pushed down a player named Wayne Radford SF during the game.

In the future, he will slap one of his own players, hammer one of his own players in the face, kick his own son, grab his other son's shoulder and break his nose bone, head-butt one of his own players for another reason.

The player had a tendency to engage in domestic violence and he was dismissed from the team.

When he was teaching at Indiana University in his early days, he even knocked out the then sports information director Kit Klingerhoff; in his later years, he would not stop, torturing the then athletic director like a beast; swinging his forearms and violently

Hitting assistant coach Ron Ferlin on the chest, these incidents make people believe that the rumors that he insulted and beat players because he was dissatisfied with their training attitude/performance are definitely not true.

To play under such a person, you have to have a strong enough will to persevere.

Isiah Thomas never lets Knight down.

He is a talented player who is extremely dedicated to winning. Louis learned about this year's draft situation. More people think that DePaul University's Mark Aguirre (SF/SG) has a better career prospect than Thomas.

Their size and position determine that even if Aguirre is not as good as Thomas, the general manager with the No. 1 pick will still choose him.

Because his talent feels more secure.

Therefore, Thomas is probably a top-three first-round draft prospect.

If the Celtics get the No. 1 pick, they can consider trading down to get more profits.

"Reed values ​​you so much, so I would like to know what you have discovered after watching it for so long?" Knight came over and asked.

Louis laughed and said: "The only thing I found is that your coaching style is a bit rough."

"Huh!" Knight said with the arrogance of a famous coach, "I just want to teach these idiots what 'courtesy and dignity' are on the court."

He has pride and the confidence to use violence against players. His team won the national championship in 1976 and has great potential this year.

In fact, he won a total of four national championships at Indiana University.

His style is controversial, but he is definitely one of the five best coaches in NCAA history (conservative estimate).

Louis did not communicate with Thomas.

He recorded Thomas's technical characteristics and the details of his famous fingertip dribble, and left.

Indiana University has several NBA prospects, but the only one that matters to Louis and the Celtics is Thomas.

After getting Thomas' detailed scouting report, Louis left.

Several meetings with Knight gave him a deep and intuitive impression of this real tyrant. Fortunately, he was only a college coach. If he came to the NBA, there was no guarantee that he would not be killed by the players.

In college, a player can only play under him for four years at most, and the authority of college coaches is much higher than that of the NBA, so players will mostly submit and obey orders.

No matter how violent he is, you only need to endure it for four years before you can say goodbye to him.

In the NBA, if a team wants to succeed, it must ensure a long-term and stable lineup. With Knight's style, let alone enduring it for a long time, if you can tolerate him for two or three seasons, you must be considered a player with a good temper.

If his coaching style can be tolerated, he will naturally be able to bring out the full potential of the players.

Therefore, this guy is only suitable for the NCAA.

When he returned to the team from Indiana University, the Celtics had another winning streak.

This included a resounding victory over the Lakers in Game 2.

The Celtics used the pocket formation again. After daily training and running-in, the pocket formation became more rigorous.

They forced Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to frequently take difficult hook shots outside the paint.

Bird showed off his might, finishing the game with 35 points, 21 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. It was a battle of declaration that "MVP must be in my hands", completely establishing himself as the future king.
