The rest is just noise

Eight hundred and seventy-eighth chapter open and secret struggle

Falling in love with you, the rest is only noise

There were actually two cameras at the game, and Monica Bellucci had the better camera.

As the only "idle person" at the scene, her appearance surprised the media.

When they learned that she had recorded the whole game, some media wanted to get a copy of the tape.

"No, I won't give this game to anyone." Monica smiled, "In my homeland, parents always leave the best things to the next generation as family heirlooms. I decided to give this game

The video of the game is left to my children. It is a rare treasure and has profound educational significance."

"Oh? Educational significance?"

"After watching this game, my children will understand that no matter how big the advantage is, if you don't respect your opponent and the game, no matter how big the advantage is, it will burst in a hurry."

In the locker room, the tragedy master kept telling his teammates to ignore the gossip outside and stick together.

In fact, he is the one that everyone is worried about.

Before he retired, he didn't like to play against smaller players. These smaller players can anticipate passing routes and use their speed to attack. Today, Hurley defeated the tragedy maker in this way.

After Louis returned to the locker room, he had the door closed.

"Congratulations, gentlemen, the first game of the Dream Team has the media going crazy. This game will be discussed for a month, you know? All of your names will be mentioned, just as college students.

"As a foil." Louis laughed, "But the editors-in-chief of major newspapers will be grateful to you."

Buckley imitated the tragedian's nonchalant attitude, saying, "This is just a practice game."

"Oh? Practice match? Is this the excuse you found for yourself? Wonderful." Louis asked sarcastically, "Then do you feel that it doesn't matter now? This is just a practice match anyway. How can you think about what brand of sweets you will eat today?

Donuts important?”

Buckley lost his voice on the spot.

"You are called the dream team, but I'm afraid it's not this kind of 'dream start' that fans expect."

"If you think this is just a practice match, and it doesn't matter even if you are beaten to a pulp by a group of college students who have never played professional basketball, then I have nothing to say."

"If we lose, we lose, and no one will make excuses."

Jordan spoke.

"Since you lost, do you know where you lost?"

Louis asked again.

"The loss is on me." The tragedy master stood up and said, "I can't guard Bob Hurley. I have never been good at dealing with these small guards, so if we encounter similar opponents in the future, I need someone else to defend me.

them."

"Okay, I'm glad you are starting to face the problem."

Louis looked at Wilson.

"anything else?"

If your own soldiers don't help support the situation now, when will they wait?

There is no hope for people like Ewing with low quotient.

Wilson said: "We lost because of our arrogance. Just like Charles before the game, all of us thought this was an easy game to win, but the college students gave us a wake-up call."

"It's enough to win back tomorrow. Is there any point in saying so much?" Bird stretched, "But, Coach Lu, what did you do when we were in a mess?"

Louis said frankly: "I'm watching you in a mess?"

"Isn't this irresponsible?" Bird asked sharply.

"In fact, before you lost the game, no one believed that you would lose, including me. But the results prove that even if you form a team, you will still lose the game." Louis said seriously, "So starting from today, I will treat you as strictly as I would in normal coaching. Do you have any objections?"

Bird snorted: "Those who lose have no right to say no."

"I agree." The tragedy master said proactively.

Jordan asked rhetorically: "Isn't this the purpose of the coaching staff?"

"Then, I need you to take a shower and then follow me back to the hotel to review the game. We will play again tomorrow. I hope you don't lose again."

Barkley clenched his fists and said: "If I lose another game, I will retire!"

"Stop yelling, Charles, no one believes you, you are the worst person today!"

※※※

The next day, during the second match, Louis invited the media to come in to watch the match.

In fact, this arrangement was not approved by the American Basketball Association, but as the so-called general is away, his fate is not affected. His appointment as the coach of the Dream Team was originally a one-time deal, and he had no intention of coaching for a second time. It did not matter if his relationship with them was not good.

The second match between the dream team and the mixed team lost its suspense from the beginning.

Jordan and Wilson led the defense against Stockton and Hurley.

The mixed team's offense immediately ran into trouble.

At the worst time, it was difficult for them to even get past halftime.

Without the core defenders to organize the offense and breakout tactics, the mixed team system collapsed.

The game suddenly became a teaching game for the dream team.

Barkley doubled down on what Weber did to him yesterday.

Witnessed by dozens of media, the Dream Team slaughtered the mixed team for 62 points.

"Sports Illustrated" writer Jack McCallum wrote in his notes: "The Dream Team began to look like a real team. They found their own labels, clarified their roles, and polished their respective The edges, the flow of the game, the team harmony, even Laettner has something to do."

To the media, this dream team has an obvious advantage in switching offense and defense after grabbing rebounds.

bThe most outstanding defensive transition in history is called wtie.

That was the Lakers of the 1980s, led by a tragic figure.

However, this team's transition from defense to offense is several beats faster than that of the Lakers. The intensity of transition from offense to defense cannot be matched by another team in history.

Especially when Louis put out a lineup of Jordan, Wilson, Barkley, Sampson, and David Robinson, the college students in the mixed team simply couldn't find a chance in front of this lineup.

Stockton and Pippen also made fools of themselves under the Dream Team's serious attitude towards the game.

Laettner discovered through Bird that here, he just needs to move into the right position to catch the ball and shoot.

The mixed team that once dreamed of winning another game with the Dream Team gave up their dreams.

Louis later changed his approach.

Move Pippen and Stockton back to the Dream Team, and let Jordan and Wilson join the mixed team.

As a result, he only lasted for half the game before being defeated.

This is already the most tenacious mixed team ever.

In the next three days, Louis tried various combinations and even played a Knicks-style "draft" to separate the two teams and form two teams. The result was 141 to 136.

The Gray team with Wilson, Bird and Sampson won.

Throughout the week, the two sides played seven games.

College students have benefited a lot from the experience of being a sparring partner for the dream team.

Weber even regretted not participating in the draft early.

They have all found new goals in their respective life paths. Similarly, the media who have spent this week with them also feel that the future of this group of college students is full of hope.

After the week-long competition between the dream team and the mixed team, they will go to Portland to participate in the US Championships.

This game was supposed to be held in Brazil in March this year, but at that time, team B was playing in the playoffs, and top college students were also throwing their lives away for March Madness. They could not organize a capable team.

"America first" is not a specialty of the King's era. Since the United States is in trouble, why not let the major teams in the Americas "suffer" and wait for them? So the game was postponed to July, and the venue was moved to Portland

.

In Portland, media from around the world saw the entire Dream Team for the first time.

The team hotel was packed with reporters from all walks of life.

Compared with the media's congratulatory pursuit of the Dream Team, various forces within the Dream Team secretly broke their heads.

The Dream Team is nominally a team of the American Basketball Association, but this team is also under the jurisdiction of the United States Olympic Organizing Committee. They all hope to use the Dream Team to promote their brands.

Even the coach Louis is a big sponsor of this team, and he has many halos around him.

As a result, the sponsors also took part in the fight.

TT, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's, Gatorade and other companies want players to promote their respective brands.

The USA Basketball Association and the US Olympic Organizing Committee have each signed dozens of dealers, hoping to use the image of the Dream Team to promote it around the world.

There are many "tough battles" to be fought between them, but the earliest battle is about which brand of sneakers the athletes will wear when participating in the national team competition. Then, the agents behind the players each took the stage and made it clear that if the players are not allowed to wear

Once the sneakers he endorses appear, he will quit the dream team.

These things have little to do with Louis.

He knows that all kinds of interest disputes will eventually be resolved, otherwise there wouldn't be so many international star players learning about the sport of basketball through the Dream Team.
