The rest is just noise

Chapter 869 The uncontested title of captain

That night, Louis held a small meeting with his coaching staff.

He has four assistant coaches, chief assistant Lanny Wilkens, offensive coach Xiao K, who represents college basketball, and defensive coach P-J Louis. They almost said to him, "I saw your natural enemy a few days ago."

Carlesimo and his long-time partner Rudy Tomjanovich.

The position of third assistant coach was obtained through Louis' strong request.

He also chose Tomjanovich and Zhao Yuanzheng to go with him without hesitation.

Being able to join the Dream Team, even as an assistant coach or assistant coach, is a huge honor for Tomjanovich and Zhao Yuanzheng.

In addition to the three assistant coaches, there is also Louis' personal assistant Zhao Yuanzheng and international basketball expert John Hawkins.

At the meeting, Louis asked a question: "What is the most pressing problem at the moment?"

Carlesimo felt united.

Tomjanovich mentioned the conflict. Wilson and Bird had some personal conflicts, and at the same time, he had an almost irresolvable rift with Isiah Thomas.

Only Coach K reached Louis's heart: "First of all, we have to choose a captain. If we want to unite everyone and suppress conflicts among players, we have to find a captain who can speak well and let him help.

We manage the locker room."

"My thoughts are the same as Mike's." Louis said, "If we want these big names to have a chemical reaction, we must have a good captain. MJ has his own set of standards for everything he does, and Charles is friends with everyone.

, but who knows if he will suddenly act stupid and piss people off? Larry, Carl, Isiah, Patrick. No one is a nice guy, who can control them?"

Since we have to choose a captain, there are only a few candidates.

The captain is not the strongest one, but the one with the most seniority.

The Tragedian and Byrd were picked easily.

But Louis and everyone else knew that the only team Bird would lead was the Celtics.

Only the Tragedian will truly accept the role of Captain.

This is accompanied by another problem. The tragedy man has never owned the league. Except for the first few years of the 1980s, he has lived in the shadow of Bird. Entering the 1990s, the noise of New York made the Show Time Lakers become the era.

tears.

Now that Bird is old, he will not be a problem. Sampson is highly respected, but he has never had the heart to fight. But what will they think of the two popular hot chickens-Wilson and Jordan?

Everyone knows that the Dream Team is essentially "Benj and MJ's team."

Hearing them talk about these things, it was hard for Louis not to think about Ewing.

Unexpectedly, as a winner and winning five consecutive championships with the Knicks, his status on the Dream Team has never been established.

"Benj won't have any doubts," Louis said, "I'll take care of Jordan."

June 23

Louis went to Jordan's room early in the morning, but he was not there.

Then he went to Buckley's room and found the pig sleeping soundly.

He could only go to Ewing.

Ewing and Jordan fought tooth and nail in the Finals, but in reality they were very good friends.

"I don't know. He may have business activities. If not, he must be on vacation at a nearby golf course."

Sure enough, Louis found Jordan on the golf course near the hotel.

He was joined by Isiah Thomas and slut Ahmed Rashad.

Thomas and Jordan got together and Louis's views were shattered.

The two people who were incompatible with each other in their previous lives are now chatting and laughing friends. A person like Jordan who values ​​personal space will only choose people he values ​​to play golf with.

When did Thomas have an affair with him?

"Coach Lu, are you coming to play golf too?" Thomas asked with a smile.

"I don't have as much free time as you. I just heard that you are here, so I came over to say hello."

With Thomas present, Louis really didn't know how to speak.

It is an established fact that Thomas and others will not be the captain of the Dream Team. This title either belongs to the popular hot chick in full swing or to the respected veteran, and Thomas does not occupy either of them.

But it's really hard to speak when he's there.

This guy is so small-minded, Louis saw it 8 years ago.

Fortunately, Thomas has a very good ability to observe people's emotions. He noticed that Louis only had eyes for Jordan, and knew that this girl just wanted to have a few private words with Jordan.

"Ahmed, come with me." Thomas said mysteriously, "I'll tell you a scoop."

Rashad smiled obscenely and said: "Great! You know what I like most is exclusive news."

Maybe this is the beauty that comes from distance.

When Thomas was in Boston, why did Louis dislike him? After so many years of separation, Ya stayed in Boston for 8 years, saw the establishment of a dynasty, then collapsed with the team, and chose to leave after struggling for several years.

He is worthy of Boston, worthy of Bird and Sampson, worthy of Louis, and worthy of Auerbach, but he is worthy of himself.

In his best years, he was just the third player next to Bird and Sampson.

You only have to think about how disrespectful Shaquille O'Neal was to Pippen on social media to understand how detrimental this status can be when ranking future stars.

"Coach Lu, because Isaiah wants to tell Ahmed his biggest secret, you can relax."

Jordan silenced Louis.

"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just want to inform you that the team is going to make Erwin and Larry the captains." Louis looked at Jordan, "I just want you to know that if you want to be the captain, there is no problem."

Jordan had only one question: "What did Benjamin mean?"

Louis hasn't asked Wilson yet, but he knows exactly how Wilson will answer.

"He agreed," said Louis.

If Wilson didn't have any objections, Jordan wouldn't have any other objections, and he didn't intend to be the captain in the first place.

"This arrangement is very good." Jordan replied, "Ervin and Larry should be our captains. No one will be dissatisfied. I agree."

Jordan's statement doesn't sound in line with his competitive character. Louis doesn't think he really agrees with the tragedy and Bird's captaincy. It's just that he is very smart. This is the difference between Jordan/Wilson and Ewing.

They understand and respect the established traditions of the industry.

Jordan has super high emotional intelligence. When he first arrived yesterday, he actually took the initiative to ask Little K and Tomjanovich about training issues.

It was a low-profile gesture, and he didn't have to do it, but it was his way of showing respect, as if he wanted to let the coaching staff know that they were really on the same team now.

Suddenly, Louis heard Ahmed Rashad yelling in the distance: "What a fucking big news! Isiah, are you serious?"

At that time, Louis felt that there was something wrong with Jordan's bad judgment.

Who the hell is this person? What news can make him so excited?

In the evening, Louis went to see Wilson first.

At that time, Barkley was by his side.

This scene is really strange. Jordan and Thomas are playing together, but Wilson is playing with Barkley?

According to the plot, Jordan should play with Ewing and then steal each other's homes. The Knicks and Trail Blazers swap Ewing with Barkley. Well, it feels like James taking Westbrook and Durant with Irving.

We met in the finals.

In front of Barkley, Louis naturally informed them about the team's selection of Tragedy and Bird as captains.

"There's no need to ask. If you don't let them two be captains, who will be? I won't accept whoever will be captains!"

Barkley shouted.

Wilson provoked: "Michael, you are not convinced?"

"It's a joke, it's just that big-eared bastard, who can obey him?" Buckley said arrogantly, "When he becomes captain, I will be the first to rebel!"

Louis couldn't help but said: "Now I seriously suspect that you are letting us go in the finals. You just want to see Michael lose."

"I don't want to say this, Coach Lu. If the big-eared bastard hears it, I will die!" Barkley was really afraid that Louis would give him small shoes.

Louis smiled and said, "I still prefer your bohemian expression just now. Can you recover?"

"Then can you help me keep a secret?"

"What's the secret of your hatred of big-eared bastards?"

"Yes."

"Then you act like that first."

"Humph, you're just a big-eared bastard!" Barkley looked like he was bearing the humiliation. "If it wasn't for the championship, I would have separated from him long ago! Do you know how he and I got together this year? Damn it, Brooklyn.

Bastard, I @!￥#@￥”

He had a thousand complaints about Jordan.

But Louis feels that if Barkley can partner with Jordan at the beginning of his career, maybe he will become a player of another level.

Before, he thought it was Riley who helped Barkley lose the fat and fat, but now it looks like it was Jordan who did it?

Barkley's complaints about Jordan are definitely true, but his friendship with Jordan is undoubtedly unshakable, like close friends who don't know how to communicate without scolding each other.

"Okay, since Charles agrees, what do you think, Benj?" Louis looked at Wilson.

Wilson knows very well that he doesn't have to compete for this title. His team has won the championship for five consecutive years. Even if he is not the team captain, everyone knows that from a player's perspective, this team is him.

of.

"Charles is right. Letting Erwin and Larry be captains is the only arrangement that can convince the public." Wilson said, "I agree."

That being the case, Louis felt at ease.

He met Ewing and Stockton on the way back to the hotel.

They just came back from going out.

Louis casually mentioned to him, "The team has decided to make Erwin and Larry the captains."

"Why are you telling me this?" Ewing asked.

"Because you are an important part of the team."

Louis still wanted to be polite to him.

But Ewing's emotional intelligence told him: No, you don't want to.

"Come on!" Ewing snorted, "Who cares about me?"

"You're right, no one really wants you to be the captain." Louis patted Ewing on the shoulder, "If I hadn't been unlucky enough to meet you, I would have almost forgotten that you were in the dream team. Good night.

Patrick.”
