The rest is just noise

Chapter 868 The gathering of dreams

June 21

Tomorrow is the first training session of the Dream Team, and the team’s coaching staff, players, and relevant personnel from the American Basketball Association will all be present.

Therefore, Louis completed the handover of the Knicks job ahead of schedule.

This summer, the Knicks' affairs have been handed over to Elgin Baylor. Of course, he has made it clear what he should and shouldn't do.

Now, all he wants to do is enjoy his trip to California with his family.

This time Louis plans to take only his wife and leave his son and daughter with his mother.

Li Xuanbing is also happy to take care of her baby.

This is a bit like the plot in "Home Alone".

On June 22, Louis and Lorraine officially set off.

As usual, Louis and Lorraine first settled in the hotel arranged for them by the dream team.

What Louis didn't expect was that the dream team prepared a presidential suite for him and Lorraine.

According to Ewing, the players did not live in suites.

I never thought that coaches are considered a privileged class here?

Then, Louis went to the University of California, San Diego (hereinafter referred to as UCSD).

Outside the training gate, Louis met an NBC reporter named Ahmed Rashad, who was of Latin and black descent and was one of the most common front-line reporters in NBC’s live NBA games.

This person's professional skills are not bad, but Louis hates him because he is Jordan's follower.

As a dignified reporter, what people remember is not his ability, but the fact that he often told others that he was Jordan.

He is indeed Jordan's man. Apart from him, NBC does not have a second reporter who can interview Jordan alone before the game.

Even such a "powerful" reporter was blocked outside the training gate at this moment.

"Don't these people know that I am not an ordinary reporter?" Rashad said sarcastically.

He looked angry because he was turned away by security, making him look like any other reporter. Even his status as "Jordan's man" did not give him the privilege of entering the training gate early.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Jordan's lack of face.

Since the Dream Team was jointly established by the NBA and the USA Basketball Association, relevant event reports and various activities are handled by the USA Basketball Association. Originally, the Olympic Games should be the responsibility of the USA Basketball Association. In this case

Under the circumstances, the USA Basketball Association adopted the highest-level management measures. In other words, all reporters were unable to move freely and could only work within a limited time and area. For reporters, this was a disaster.

Because it is difficult for them to get in touch with interview subjects and thus unearth valuable news materials.

"Ahmad, you can only stay outside until you get permission."

The security guard said forcefully.

No matter how much Rashad throws a tantrum, it can't change the result.

Louis said hello to him and immediately entered the training hall.

As the coach of the dream team, everyone is saying hello to Louis.

The first player Louis met was Christian Laettner. He felt extremely honored to be selected for the Dream Team, so he came to train very early. In two days, he had to go to Portland for the draft.

.

When Louis first arrived, Brian McEntire, the NBA's head of media relations, was preparing to shoot a promotional video about the Dream Team. Laettner actually showed up wearing a T-shirt with a cartoon pattern printed on it. McEntire

I said to him: "Didn't I tell you? Wear formal clothes and a tie."

Lightner, the famous Duke Prince, a future star who was actually a demonic figure, said in an impatient tone: "I don't give a damn about you."

Louis really saw the shadow of Ranbir in him.

Therefore, Laettner became the number one bad guy of the Dream Team before the training camp officially started.

This made McEntire blush with anger.

"I really fucking hate this group of people!" After McEntire saw Louis, complaints spewed out of his mouth like a water jet. "They want privileges, suites, leisure, and parties. They think we are

What are you doing here?"

"You have to know that these people are all princes. They think they are here for vacation."

Louis then scolded the players.

During the luncheon dinner, Benjamin Wilson proposed to change his room into the presidential suite because he had not fully recovered from the foot injury he sustained in the Finals and needed to be recuperated every night.

This request exploded a "hornet's nest".

Jordan said that he was also injured and needed the presidential suite. In fact, he just wanted to keep pace with Wilson.

The tragedy maker was not polite. He said directly that if a player gets the presidential suite, others must also receive corresponding treatment. Otherwise, it is unfair and he will quit the dream team.

The players were told that only Louis received the presidential suite.

In this area of ​​San Diego, there aren't that many five-star hotels that can give them presidential suites.

In this way, things were settled.

Louis glanced at Tragedy, Wilson, Sampson, Bird, Jordan, Ewing, Thomas, Robinson, Barkley, Malone, Laettner, and Stockton and Pippen who were preparing to compete for the Dream Team spot.

Problems arose during the first group gathering of the dream team.

This reminds the coaching staff and basketball association officials, including Louis, of a question: Can this group of people work together?

This doesn't seem to be a problem.

Regardless of whether they can work together or not, there is no team in the world that can beat them.

Even if the dream team can only achieve one success, it is enough to sweep the world.

Louis naturally thought of his previous life and how Chuck Daly combined them into a collective.

What Daley can do, he can do too.

This group of people will eventually adapt to each other and run into each other. But in the beginning, things will not go smoothly because they have never played a game together. They form a team to play in international competitions and all-star entertainment games.

It's different. For most of them, except for Wilson, Ewing, Bird, and Sampson, the others still don't know how to cooperate with each other and how to play team basketball.

Wilson, who had just won the championship, became the driver of the atmosphere.

He told everyone: "I have been looking forward to this day since the end of the season. I believe that many unique things will happen this summer."

Wilson's words made the players realize that the establishment of the Dream Team was a major event of historical significance. It was unbelievable for the fans and themselves.

Although not many of them like history, who can resist the urge to fantasize when they are immersed in it?

In the future, how will future generations evaluate this dream gathering?

PS: The Dream Team chapter is a chapter with no suspense. Essentially, it is Louis leading an invincible team to sweep the world. So my focus will be on the daily life of Louis and the players, as well as the interactions between stars. This chapter is relatively short.

, because I have to think carefully about how to start.

The reason for sending away Human Victory Cigar is very simple. In the upcoming new season, the Knicks team is not suitable for having such a warm-toned person. You can think of him as going on vacation. King Luo Haos will one day return to his loyalty.
