The rest is just noise
Chapter 768: The Year of Sampson
After examination, the Knicks determined that Wilson's knee was only a minor sprain, focusing on his ankle.
When he fell, he stepped on Ewing's foot, which resulted in a grade two sprain, which will take 6-8 weeks to recover.
Everyone knows Louis' temperament.
The player's injury was not easy to deal with, and he was determined not to let him come back.
So until Wilson gets clearance from the hospital to return, he will not be on the team's active list.
Unfortunately, All-Star Weekend is coming soon.
The 1991 All-Star Weekend is set in Charlotte.
As in previous years, the Knicks have four players selected.
McHale left the ranks of the All-Stars, and the player who replaced him in the hearts of fans was Shawn Kemp.
Kemp has quietly become the second most popular Knick player.
Because he is young, energetic in playing, and his dunks are entertaining to watch, and he does not have a twisted personality like Ewing...
Even with all the bonuses, Louis still doesn't think Kemp should be an All-Star.
His selection is just like Kobe's selection as an All-Star in 1998.
It has a certain level of strength, and is recognized by insiders as a destined superstar in the future. In addition, with the bonus of big cities and big ball markets, the fans' voting ability is far stronger than that of other cities, and they are forcibly promoted into the All-Star Game.
Wilson's injury caused him to miss the All-Star Game, thus making Dennis Rodman's first All-Star trip in his career.
The position vacated by Wilson was filled by Rodman.
From this point of view, the Knicks actually have five All-Stars on the team.
The Knicks' own record is excellent.
They currently have 42 wins and 4 losses. Of the three games they lost, only one was upset by a weak team. The other three losses came from the outbreak of superstars in the Trail Blazers and Celtics.
The strange thing is that Louis, who led the team to 42 wins, did not become the head coach of the Eastern Stars.
Everyone was tired of Louie's monopoly as the coach of the Eastern Conference Stars for several consecutive years, and Louie himself didn't care, so the league changed the rules.
Generally, coaches of conference star teams are selected from the teams with the strongest records in the conference.
Now, they have changed the selection system to an invitation system.
First send an invitation to the coach with the best record. If the other coach refuses, invite another one.
The invitation system gives both parties enough space.
If you want to come, be serious and don't take chances. If you don't want to come, give the opportunity to others.
Louis feels like he has been the coach of too many star teams, just like in a Marilyn Chambe movie.
Louis sincerely admires her fans. What kind of love can keep the career of a dark action star in the dark action industry, which has seen frequent turnover between old and new, for 35 years (1972-2007)?
He can't do it.
Coaching the Stars doesn't make sense to him.
In the early days, he could also take the opportunity of coaching the Star Team to get to know the leaders of other teams and see if there were any opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Now, I know almost everything I need to know.
There is no need to know anyone you don’t know. In the professional basketball circle, if there is someone Louis doesn’t know, it means the other person is not worthy of attention.
Louis declined the alliance's invitation.
The things he gives up are regarded as gold by others.
Celtics coach Chris Ford, who led the team to a record of 38 wins and 8 losses, happily became the head coach of the Eastern Conference Stars.
On a rare vacation, Louis basically did not attend to official matters.
He, Lorraine and their children booked a movie at the 23rd Madison Avenue Cinema. The movie was the hit "Home Alone" that was released last Christmas.
As the most popular Christmas movie in recent years, "Home Alone" has raised Lorraine's net worth to a higher level.
She debuted as a flower vase, and her acting skills were questioned, but the movies she starred in were always well-received.
"Home Alone" has been confirmed to have at least two sequels, and Lorraine will continue to appear in the movie as the kid's mother.
From last June's Daytime Emmy Awards to the Christmas season of "Home Alone," Lorraine quickly became popular, and film appointments flew in like a piece of paper.
Although film critics unanimously concluded that "except for being married to a good husband and having impeccable looks, she cannot be considered an actress," she is indeed a box office harvester.
Moreover, she has a tendency to transform from the porn star Louis was familiar with in her previous life to a comedian.
Louis didn't notice it at first, until he found out that Lorraine had received an audition invitation for "Sister At 1992".
Is it too much to let such a beautiful woman perform comedy all day long?
Louis also didn't want Lorraine to be completely fixed in comedy, so he used her current popularity and his connections in New York to snatch "400 Years of Love" from Winola Nord.
(Draula1992).
Winola also got angry at Lorraine because of this: "We all know that she got that role because of her husband."
No matter what she says, Lorraine's current appeal to commercial film directors is unparalleled.
She is pretty enough. Although she has basically no acting skills and can only be used as a vase and refuses to take it off, she has a kind of magic that attracts movie fans to the cinema.
In addition to caring about his wife's career, Louis also took the time to find a personal trainer for his son.
Lu Wuxia is 8 years old this year, but her height has grown to 1.4 meters.
For this reason, Louis also took him to have his bone age measured. The doctor predicted that he might grow to more than 2 meters in the future.
His love for basketball exceeds Louis' imagination. Considering his background, it is certain that he will embark on the path of professional basketball in the future.
Regardless of whether he can make it to the NBA, Louis wants to give him the greatest help within his ability.
Therefore, Lu Wuxia received teaching resources that were difficult for her peers.
His personal trainer and godfather is Knicks chief assistant coach Rudy Tomjanovich.
Tomjanovich's training of wing players is well-known in the industry.
He also showed the most rigorous attitude towards an 8-year-old child.
At the same time, Benjamin Wilson, who was recovering from his injury, could not rest.
I heard that Tomjanovich was working as a personal trainer for Louis' son, so he came to the scene in person. Although he was recovering from his injury and could not go to the battle in person, he was able to provide Lu Wuxia with some useful suggestions.
"Coach, I think Mike can play in the NBA in the future." Wilson looked flattering.
Predict that an 8-year-old will be able to play in the NBA in the future?
Is there anyone who can't tell that he's flattering?
To put it bluntly, even if he is standing in front of the top high school student in the United States, he is not 100% sure that he will play in the NBA in the future.
Louis smiled: "Maybe, he likes to play basketball, but you know, my skills are not very good."
Wilson immediately said: "When I recover from the injury, I will train with him every day."
"That's not okay, I can't let you abandon your official career for personal reasons." Louis said, and Tomjanovich suddenly picked up Lu Wuxia and let him complete the first slam dunk in his life on his head.

The All-Star Weekend is in full swing.
In this year's All-Star Game, there were several unhappy star players.
Drexler, Thomas and Dale Ellis, all of them were depressed due to internal struggles within the team. Even in the joyful All-Star Game, it was a side effect.
Maybe, their agents have told them privately that they should preserve their strength in the All-Star Game and not take it too seriously. If injuries affect the market, it will not be worthwhile.
Barkley, who was also causing trouble and was almost traded, was rewarded by the Bulls with a five-year, $22 million contract extension.
The Bulls promised to find ways to recruit, but they need Barkley to give the team some patience.
Although Barkley knew that he had given enough patience, seven good years from 1984 to 1991 were wasted. What did the Bulls bring to him? Nothing.
But he still decided to keep to himself. The most he did was fight with fans, spit on a female fan, drink and bump into roadside warning signs, scold the police and be locked up. In addition to all kinds of negative things, big and small, that continued every month.
Apart from the confrontation with the Bulls' public relations department due to the news, he is really quite calm.
Sampson was easily the MVP of a game that no one cared about.
In the whole game, Sampson had 29 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks.
As the only center in the league who can show off in the All-Star Game, the dominance he has shown so far this season has made Charlotte fans know that once you have this kind of power to dominate the game, even if there are 10 All-Stars in the game,
Nothing can stop him from shining.
Even if the Celtics are unable to compete for the championship, this is Ralph Sampson's year.
In addition to his dominance in the All-Star Game, his performance with the Celtics was equally jaw-dropping.
As of now, Sampson is averaging 34.2 points, 15.4 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.4 steals and 4.6 blocks per game.
Since 1969, only one big man has posted similar statistics.
That man was Kareem Jabbar in 1972.
That season, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged 34.8 points, 16.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game (steals and blocks have not been counted yet).
Only this year, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar could slightly lead Sampson in scoring and rebounding.
But that Bucks team only had one old big O besides Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, while the Celtics also had Bird, Thomas, Reggie Lewis, Laimbeer and others to share the data.
If he is really allowed to go to a team that lacks helpers and does not consider health issues, Louis feels that he can average 38 points and 20 rebounds per game, which is terrifying.
Sampson became a breathtaking monument.
Louis looked back and realized what a great thing he had done 11 years ago.
Sampson dominated centers in the 1980s, and now in the 1990s, his dominance continues.
Challengers come one after another, but no one is his opponent. The only thing that can defeat him is injury or time.
He transformed the center position, inspiring David Robinson and Danny Manning and many future players.
To this day, Sampson can proudly say that he has indeed become a revolutionary in basketball.
It has changed people's perception of the center position from the inside out.
