The rest is just noise

Chapter 815 The battle for places

"When we talk about Louis, what kind of person are we talking about?

There is a lot of noise about the selection of the coach of the Dream Team. The two strong competitors did not pose a threat to Little. Since Benjamin Wilson and Patrick Ewing expressed their opinions, we knew that he would definitely become the coach of the Dream Team.

.

Let's go back to the starting point, where did Little Lu come from?

When the league decided to let professional players bring the best basketball to the Olympics, we could form many teams based on the talents in the United States to sweep the world, but we needed the strongest team, so the Dream Team came into being. Speaking of which

, the word "dream team" came out of Little Lu's mouth. He has witnessed the birth of the dream team, and now he will lead the dream team to Barcelona.

This man, who is only 31 years and 4 months old, has connections that other coaches do not have. Many coaches at his age were just unknowns, but Little Lu has been in the professional basketball circle for nearly 15 years.

Old man. He became a scout for the Celtics when he was 18. That was 1978

From Boston to New York, Little Lou completed the most wonderful transformation in history in four years. He changed from Little Lou to Leader Lou. The 'Little Lou' that represented the past has become a contemptuous term that is hated by New Yorkers.

Lu is the Light Chaser, the human form of Satan, the Messiah, and the Godfather, but she is not Little Lu.

He has risen as unstoppably as Reed Auerbach did back then. The Knicks have won four consecutive championships, and it seems that their dominance will continue. Compared to Auerbach, Louis is more restrained to some extent, at least,

He has promised not to light a single cigar during the Olympics.

As for whether he will celebrate with his signature Victory Coke, it's hard to say.

Jack McCallum published in Sports Illustrated in January 1991.

After Louis became the coach of the Dream Team, Ewing and Wilson immediately committed to joining the Dream Team.

Later, Sampson returned.

Bird expressed his willingness to return.

Isiah Thomas announced his return immediately.

Suddenly, the dream team roster became crowded.

Just the confirmed candidates include Jordan, Ewing, Robinson, Bird, Wilson, Barkley, Sampson, and Thomas, that’s 8.

Except for one college student quota, and the tragic figure who will most likely return as the spokesperson of the HIV virus, in fact, there are only two spots left for others to compete for.

The list of players who will compete for these 2 spots is luxurious.

Many superstars and stars like Pippen, Drexler, Wilkins, Karl Malone, Stockton, Mark Price, they all want to be one of them.

Louis notified the Basketball Association and the selection committee, and there is no rush to decide on the remaining two candidates.

They would get together to discuss it during the All-Star Weekend.

As the head coach, he should at least have the right to select people.

The remaining two spots are all reserved for him, right?

Neither the Basketball Association nor the selection committee had any objections.

They have seen Louis' energy through the head coach recruitment incident, and they all know his character.

If he wants to make the decision, it's best for others not to interfere.

The roster of the Dream Team has been put on hold, and it was officially announced that the last few spots will be decided by the coaching staff.

Coaching staff? Isn’t that Louis?

The only candidate currently confirmed by the Dream Team coaching staff is Louis. If the decision-making power is left to the coaching staff, it will be given to Louis.

This decision triggered consequences that Louis had never imagined.

Before the All-Star Weekend comes, all star players who want to join the Dream Team will definitely go all out and be in top form if they have the chance to play against the Knicks. Teams that have no chance to play against the Knicks will also

Do whatever you can to make big news.

The first person to make news was Clyde Drexler, the core player of the Bulls.

After the Bulls and Trail Blazers traded for one, the fate of the Glider and Flying Pigs changed dramatically.

The Glider got the freedom and core position he wanted most, but the Bulls' competitiveness was too weak. Even if they tried their best, they couldn't take the team out of the lottery.

After Barkley went to Portland, his words and deeds revealed a truth.

"How could anyone not want to play here? I don't understand, I really don't understand." Barkley deliberately disgusted Drexler.

Drexler did not respond to Barkley. He is a gentleman, not a dirty street kid like Flying Pig, and he must behave well-educated.

No matter how educated he was, he still couldn't hold it back in the end.

"No one cares about anything that happens in Chicago, including our coach." After leading the team to a seven-game losing streak, Drexler became furious. "We have become more and more accustomed to losing."

In Louis' eyes, this was Drexler's insidious self-promotion to him from afar. The glider showed him how much he cared about winning. Of course, maybe this was just a simple vent of anger. Or maybe, the two

It’s both.

However, Louis has no intention of recruiting gliders.

Even though 1992 was the best year of Drexler's career.

First, he and Jordan had fallen out. Louie wasn't sure Jordan wanted to be on a dream team with a glider.

Secondly, Louis found it difficult to agree with Drexler's various statements.

After the concept of the Dream Team came out, many stars immediately expressed their intention to become a member of it, and Drexler was no exception.

As a result, he was not included in the first batch of rosters drawn up by the dream team.

Drexler, who was still waiting to be traded at the time, could only say something weird: "I don't think Larry can play in the Olympics now. What if he gets injured in Barcelona? What if he gets blown away on the court?

?Will those people underestimate the strength of the alliance because of this?"

It seems that in his eyes, Bird is being bullied by others.

Bird's condition is indeed not good. If Drexler insists on "putting aside his emotions in this matter", there is really nothing he can do to him.

Bird himself admitted that he is a loser at this stage.

But Bird is not a person who ignores trash talk from his opponents. In the two duels in the new season, Bird averaged 34 points per game against Drexler.

Bird still has gas, and when he shoots, his performance is not inferior to that of a first-line superstar.

So Drexler turned his complaints to the tragedian.

Of course, he can't avoid the strange Bird.

"I'm confused, how can they exclude players like James Worthy, Karl Malone, Dominique Wilkins, and me? In addition to the reputation of the player, doesn't the selection also depend on the condition?

?This season, Larry just hid behind Ralph, and what did the tragedy master do? He didn't do anything." After Glider was educated by Bird, he had no complaints about him, but he still wanted to complain that the tragedy master was infected with HIV.

Expressing strong dissatisfaction with the practice of occupying the pit, "Is it because the tragedy master is a dying person that the selection committee takes extra care of him?⑴"

The competition for spots on the Dream Team has become fierce.

Within the Knicks, everyone had different reactions to Louie being elected as the head coach of the Dream Team.

Some people wanted to use Louis's relationship to join the dream team, such as Rodman, but they failed.

Louis asked him two questions.

As the fourth position, are you better than Barkley or better than Sampson?

Rodman answered truthfully: "They are all better than me."

"Okay, then what are you going to do?"

This is a killer.

Rodman never mentioned the Dream Team again.

There are also daydreamers like Miller and Kemp who know they are not strong enough and want to get a spot but know they are not qualified yet.

Stockton is the one who works the hardest.

After Louis became the head coach of the Dream Team, Stockton averaged 15 assists per game in the 12 games before the All-Star break.

After Louis coached him for so many years, he discovered that he could improve the data even if he wanted to.

Being eliminated by Bob Knight in the last few batches in 1984 has always been one of Stockton's greatest regrets. Now the opportunity has come again, and Louis has become the coach.

Stockton believes this is the closest he's ever come to playing for his country.

Louis saw Stockton's desire, but he couldn't respond.

The butterfly effect triggered by him has changed too much.

Thomas is still the same Thomas, but there are obviously not as many people who hate him as in his previous life, which has not affected his selection as the number one point guard in active service at all.

In this time and space, no boss would say: "There is Thomas but not me."

Therefore, no matter how good Stockton's statistics are, his hope of being selected is slim.

⑴Glider really said these words, but it was after he retired that the pictorial writer Jack McCallum mentioned in the article gave him a private interview and asked him about the Dream Team, and he said the above paragraph

words. As for reality, his performance is even worse in my eyes. After the magician was confirmed to be infected with the HIV virus, the glider's first reaction was "I'm selected! I'm selected!" This man is a gentleman on the surface, but in fact

There are too many colorful intestines.
