The rest is just noise

Falling in love with you, the rest is only noise

As the U.S. Championship continues, the days of the Dream Team become boring.

In six games, the Dream Team outscored their opponents by an average of 64 points per game, and they felt bored after consecutive victories.

In the final, the Dream Team faced Argentina.

Even the usually smiling coach became impatient because the opponent's defender kept asking to exchange jerseys with him after the game.

The tragedian has no such interest.

Argentina was finally beaten by the Dream Team by 52 points.

As a result, their coach said: "We enjoyed this game very much."

"I feel like it's just okay." Louis said in an interview. "At heart, each of us is a competitor, but these games have no competitive flavor at all."

There is no suspense to win the US Championships, and the Dream Team will get a few weeks of rest before the start of the Olympic Games.

During this period, they have to select a place as a training location.

In fact, when they arrived at the so-called training location, they only had two hours of training time every day, which was unanimously requested by the players.

The coaching staff disagreed, but Louis did not object.

Although the function of the coaching staff is to coach, the composition of the Dream Team is too special. If we really treat them like players in a club or school, there will be problems.

Some people insist on thinking that the big names in the dream team are just athletes at best, nothing big.

So they solicit autographs privately for sponsors, charities, auction events, officials, politicians, fans, friends, friends of friends.

The lives of stars worth tens of millions are suddenly occupied by autographs.

The intention of doing this is good, and the proceeds generated by the Dream Team will be used to help athletes who do not have money to stay in star hotels and live in poverty. But officials from the USA Basketball Association used a "What's so great about you, just do it"

Talk to the players in a "live" tone.

Jordan valued his private time very much, while Wilson had no other bad habits except business activities. When he was free, the only thing he wanted to do was play ball.

The arrangement of the American Basketball Association has messed them up.

Louis didn't want to cause other troubles before heading abroad for training, so he negotiated with the American Basketball Association on behalf of the team and asked them not to dictate the players' private lives. If this continued, the players might quit the team.

"I believe you should know what the problem is." Louis said to the officials of the Basketball Association. "When things have reached this point, it is a serious offense to the players. You make it seem like they are just ordinary athletes, but the fact is

"The wealth you have created by using their reputation and status shows that they are not ordinary, they are special, but I can't feel respect in what you do."

They took Louis' words as a threat.

Also see Louie as an associate of the players.

Louis' attitude made the American Basketball Association extremely dissatisfied, but they did not dare to fall out with Louis.

As early as when they hired the coaches of the Dream Team, they had seen Louis' energy.

That is to say, Louie's mentality of just wanting to play with the highest number and leave after having fun. Any coach who wants to maintain a long-term relationship with the American Basketball Association will not go against others like him.

It is better for Louis to come forward than for Jordan or Wilson to come forward.

Once they come forward, the media will label them as a selfish group.

If it were Louis, the media wouldn't be so talkative.

Louis' approach shocked the American Basketball Association, helped the players reduce trouble, and increased his prestige in the team.

The training location for the Dream Team was later determined.

During this period, two major events occurred in the alliance.

Free agent Isiah Thomas was traded from the Charlotte Hornets to the Portland Trail Blazers in a sign-and-trade.

To this end, the Hornets acquired Terry Porter and Blue Edwards.

Suddenly, the Trail Blazers had a luxury trio: Jordan Barkley and Thomas, all of whom were selected for the Dream Team.

And, it was Porter and Edwards who paid for it.

It is equivalent to upgrading Porter to Thomas, and the only one missing from the luxurious wing group is Edwards.

Then came the amazing move by the Clippers.

They asked Olajuwon to lobby Drexler. They were both members of the team and had a brotherhood. Now they are middle-aged and empty-handed.

They were all sent away by their old employers as being unsociable and cancerous.

Although Drexler was intimidated by the notorious reputation of Clippers owner Donald Sterling, he was attracted by Mutombo and Olajuwon.

Today's league is an era where the inside is king.

If you want to win the championship, it is impossible without a good insider.

Drexler ultimately chose to sign a five-year, $15 million long-term contract with the Clippers.

At the same time, Olajuwon also renewed his contract with the Clippers for four years.

In this way, Olajuwon and Drexler will be bound to each other for five years.

The Trail Blazers completed their lineup upgrade, and the Clippers also transformed from a birdie to a phoenix in one summer.

The news that Thomas was going to the Trail Blazers had already spread, so Louis wasn't that shocked.

I just feel that the Blazers have become stronger. If they meet in the finals next season, it will definitely be another round of death battle.

But he didn't expect that in addition to wanting Thomas, the Trail Blazers were also worried about the reasons that caused them to lose last season. Although Wilson was fvp, if Ewing and Rodman hadn't dominated the rebounds in Game 7, they would have been facing a weak front line. The Knicks and Portlanders will definitely win big.

The holes inside have not been repaired, and just upgrading the strength of the first position may not scare the Knicks.

So when Trail Blazers executive Jeff Petrie announced that he would bring Lithuanian center Ardavis Sabonis to the United States at all costs, even the New York media became nervous.

Over the years, the Trail Blazers have suffered greatly inside. Larry Nance has a balanced ability as a power forward, but he is no match for the current super centers.

In the past, the 40-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar destroyed the Portlanders. Later, David Robinson crushed Nance like a toy. Now Ewing, Rodman, and Kemp have destroyed the Trail Blazers.

"I don't know how many times Portland has tried to bring Sabonis to the United States. Can they succeed this time?" The New York Times.

Louis' fear of the Blazers lasted for several minutes.

He will not add unreasonable pressure to himself.

If the Blazers really want to build a formidable Galaxy, the Knicks can't stop them.

Since nothing can be done, just wait and see what happens.

The training/vacation location of the dream team is set to be Monte Carlo in the Principality of Monaco.

"Why did you choose this kind of place to train?" Lorraine said incomprehensively, "I don't believe you will play basketball honestly there."

Louis smiled and said: "There must be a gymnasium there, right?"

"I don't believe they will train honestly. You will only go there for gambling and horse racing, just like we go to Las Vegas."

Although the professionalism of a few players in the dream team is very problematic, with a large team in charge, ww Louis believes that no one will mess around.

Of course, Lorraine's worries are justified.

But going to Monte Carlo for training/vacation was proposed by David Stern. You know, Stern was famous for his opposition to gambling before the new century. In the 1950s, he witnessed with his own eyes how gambling ruined

Lose professional basketball in every city. So in Louis' previous life, it would be said that Jordan retired for the first time because he gambled too much and was secretly suspended for two years by Stern.

Although this speculation is stupid, many people are still willing to believe it.

Choosing a training location before the Olympic Games is a special project.

You cannot choose a place that is too good, a place that is too bad, or a place that is too biased.

Especially the third one, if the training location is set in a good place in Indiana to cater to Bird, Jordan, Tragedy, and Wilson will not agree. On the contrary, if the training location is set in North Carolina, Michigan or Chicago

Anywhere else, others will object.

Therefore, the training location was decided abroad from the beginning.

Monte Carlo was chosen because Stern's friend owned a luxury hotel here.

After the Dream Team signed a contract with Stern's friend, everyone from the coaching staff to the players was allowed to take their families to Monte Carlo for vacation.

The dream team members collectively applauded this result.

Although it was called a training camp, Louis knew very well that it was more like a mini vacation.

Train for 2 hours a day, and then others can play golf, gamble, visit scenic spots, swim, and wait in the bar for beautiful models to come to your door in the remaining 22 hours.
