The rest is just noise

The day after returning to the team, Reggie Williams and Louie had a fight in the Blue Palace office.

During the Louis era, there were many quarrels in the Blue Palace, but they were almost always players against players, rarely players against the coach.

The few times it happens, it's all related to injuries.

In this era where everyone is proud to play through injuries, if any player wants to follow this glorious tradition and dedicate everything to the team, Louis will often pour cold water on them.

Perhaps the Knicks players have the most reason to follow this tradition.

Because one of the most legendary events in the history of the Knicks - Reid's return, it was in the context of the Finals that he came to the Finals tiebreaker with one leg to fight against the Big Dipper at the expense of his own future.

.

Reed became a hero...

And now, he is working under Louis.

When Reggie Williams fiercely used Reed to defend his actions, he called Willis Reed into Louie's office.

"Willis, if you knew that you would be ruined by this, would you still come back that night in 1970?"

After meeting Louis's dangerous look of "tell me something," Reed replied appropriately: "Probably not."

"What?!"

Williams shouted like a believer who saw an icon smashed in front of him: "Willis, I am so disappointed in you!"

"You won the FMVP that year because of this!" Williams said angrily, "If you have this idea, you should give up your FMVP to Walter!"

"How can that be done?" Reid was also unhappy with what he said. "Walter has always been unhappy about this matter, but he also admitted that without my encouragement, he would not have been able to perform as well as in the tiebreaker."

Reed noticed that Louis was unhappy, and quickly explained: "I'm not saying that my behavior of playing with injuries deserves recognition, I mean, that year's

FMVP... I'm still worthy of it."

"But..."

"Stop it, unless you have a doctor's permission to come back, otherwise, just stay on the DNP list!"

Louis said rudely: "I can let whoever the hell I want to fight. It's not your fucking turn to dictate. Or, apart from teaching you how to protect yourself in the league, John Thompson didn't even teach you something as basic as respecting the coach."

Nothing was taught?”

Williams hesitated to speak, his lips twitching with anger.

"I have nothing more to say, get out of here!" Louis said angrily.

Williams slammed the door as he left.

"What a bunch of fucking white-eyed wolves!" Louis felt his stomach swell with anger, "Why don't these bastards never know that I'm doing it for their own good?"

"Yeah, why bother?"

Reed understood that people had to bow their heads under the roof, but he was also a little unhappy when Louis made him say so many things that were against his heart.

"They all want to fight for honor, why don't you give them a chance?"

"Give a chance? Then add injuries to injuries, shorten your career, and choose to retire at a good age, like you?" Louis said mockingly, "Just take advantage of this kind of 'opportunity' yourself, don't drag these guys into the water.

!”

Reed didn't expect Louis to be so angry, and complained: "It's not that I'm ignorant, don't come at me if you're angry."

"Then what are you doing here? Idle?"

Reed also stormed off, slamming the door just as Williams had done.

"Damn it, you guys have to pay for it if the door slams down!"

Just when Louis didn't know how to vent his anger, Brad Rohaus came over.

"Coach, I request a truce for the sixth game."

"What?"

Luo Haos was also worried that Louis' anger would be directed at him, but he still did not change his mind: "I hope to hand over my qualification to play to Ruth."

"Your kindness is in the wrong place. He is injured and cannot be beaten." Louis snorted coldly.

Luo Haos' status within the Knicks has been marginalized.

It is not wrong to say that he is the Knicks' Matt Bonner. He trains as hard as everyone else, but does not have many playing opportunities. Every time he enters the active list is very important to him.

Louis didn't expect that he would come over and offer to give up his spot.

"He can play, coach. His injury will not have much impact. He can even participate in the black and white competition within our team."

"What? That bastard is playing in a competitive match now?"

Louis rushed out of the office and saw Reggie Williams dribbling past Miller for a dunk.

"Who the hell asked him to hit him?" Louis asked.

Rohaus said: "Patrick."

"Is this fucking Jamaican bastard out of his fucking mind?"

Once again, Louis was so angry that he kicked open the door of his office and lay directly on his desk thinking about life.

What did he do wrong to coach these bastards?

"Coach...Ruth should get this opportunity." Luo Haos continued to persuade Louis, "He is an important rotation player for us. He has made a lot of contributions to the team so far this season. I can't compare to him. I think.

At the beginning, he was also a super star, but now he is just an abandoned son of the Warriors. He came to New York just to win the championship. He wants to participate in this championship. After so many sacrifices and efforts, he is only one game away

How could he give up when he could win the championship with the team? Coach, he shouldn't lose this opportunity."

"What about you, Brad?"

Louis opened his eyes and looked at him: "Where are your chances? Don't you want to play on the night of winning the championship? Don't you want to be a part of that game? Are you so fucking selfless?"

Brad smiled modestly.

"If I have enough strength to enter the rotation, but cannot enter due to various reasons, I will not be reconciled. However, reality tells me that there are indeed 12, 13 or even 14 people in this team who have the strength of me.

Above. What should I be unwilling to do? It is an honor for me to play with them, and I cherish this opportunity. Coach, I will not take away opportunities that do not belong to me."

"Okay, you don't want this opportunity. There are many people who want it. Go tell the high school student that he will be on the active list in the next game!" Louis shouted.

Luo Haos went, but unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Kemp walked into Louis' office tremblingly, and was scolded before he even opened his mouth.

"If you're here to tell me you fucking want to give your playing time to Reggie fucking Williams, just stop talking and get out of there!"

"Uh... uh..." Kemp backed away as if he had been granted amnesty, "Coach, you really have a clever plan and I can't hide anything from you!"

Louis almost vomited blood when he heard what he said.

He didn't know what drugs Reggie Williams gave these two people. If he really didn't want Williams to play, no matter what they said, it would be useless. At worst, the registration list for the sixth game would be 12 people.

But he won't make things so rigid. Since they are determined to fulfill Williams, why should he stand on the opposite side?

Just when Louis decided to put Reggie Williams on the roster.

That bastard, Reggie fucking Williams comes in.

"Coach, I..."

Louis jumped up: "If you fucking want to tell me that you want to give the opportunity to those two idiots, I'll throw you off the building without any fucking words!"

Williams was stunned for a few seconds, then noticed Louis's belly and arms with no visible muscles, and immediately said: "Coach, I don't mean any disrespect, but you can't lift me."

I'm in a big hole!

"Okay! Okay!" Louis laughed angrily, "You guys planned to make me angry, right? What did I do wrong to coach you bastards! Just tell me what you want!"

"No, coach, I'm here to apologize."

Reggie Williams said.

"I know you are thinking about me, but I am ignorant."

Louis said weakly: "But you still have to play Game 6, right?"

"I have to fight," Williams said.

There was no doubt in his tone that he was a man determined to risk himself.

Obviously the team doesn't need him to do this, but he still does it, and it's not for the contract or status, he just wants to be a member of the collective when the team wins the championship.

This is driven by a pure sense of honor and is the most important and positive quality that John Thompson instilled in the "La Hoya Paranoia".

Although Louis is a senior Tanghei, he has to say that there are no cowards from Georgetown. Although their personalities are slightly different, they are all reliable.

"I will put you on the active list, but I won't let you play before garbage time comes." Louis interrupted Williams who wanted to say something, "Don't bargain with me, I have already given in, you just

Need to be prepared.”

Reggie Williams said no more.

"Thank you, coach."

"What you should thank is Brad and the high school students." Louis snorted, "It was those two bastards who fought for the opportunity for you."
