The rest is just noise

Chapter 891: The coach who calls weight gain edema is a scumbag

Wang Zhizhi became a popular name in New York basketball circles.

His performance in the Wilson Basketball Tournament attracted the attention of many college scouts.

15 years old, 2.07 meters tall, with outstanding mobility, soft touch and innate inside footwork.

These things cannot be taught.

It can be said that at the age of 15, there are not many people in the United States who are better than him.

Louis arranged for Wang Zhizhi to go to Moria High School, which was relatively close to his home, and he would study directly in the tenth grade (sophomore year of high school).

In this case, when Wang Zhizhi reaches the twelfth grade, he will be 18 years old and can choose a good university.

If he chooses ninth grade, he will have to waste an extra year in high school.

At his current level, he will be invincible in high school basketball within two years. Playing for one more year will be a waste. This is also the reason why so many star players will choose to skip a grade in high school in the future.

The high school level is not high enough for them and is not conducive to progress. Skipping a grade can allow them to get in touch with the next level of basketball league earlier.

This is a pragmatic choice.

A week later, another child in Louis' family became famous.

Louis' eldest son, Lu Wuxia, participated in the local U8 basketball amateur league and shined.

As you can tell from the name, only children under the age of 8 can participate in this competition.

Moreover, Louis' home is located in a wealthy area of ​​Manhattan, and most of the people participating in the game are children from wealthy families. None of them will choose basketball as a career in the future.

Lu Wuxia, who is 8 years old but 1.5 meters tall and aims to become a professional player, played from position 1 to position 5, averaging 42 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks per game at this level.

Since the level of the competition he participated in was too low, it is impossible to tell what level his current strength is.

But some features are eye-catching.

Although he is the tallest kid in the game in terms of his ball-holding ability, he also has excellent movement control skills.

He got the size and touch from his father, which helped him dominate the game at this level with ease.

Because of Louis' relationship, Lu Wuxia received a lot of attention.

Some more competitive AAU invitational tournaments invited him to join, but Louis refused.

He didn't want Lu Wuxia to get a lot of exposure and hype prematurely, although it seemed inevitable.

Louis' status in the basketball circle and Lorraine's fame in the film and television circle are destined to attract attention whenever their children come out.

Louis is naturally happy when the children at home are doing well.

Although he gave himself a month's leave, Louis could hardly rest.

Lorraine joined the crew for filming, and he visited the set every day.

Wang Zhizhi joined the school team's motto, and he also visited the camp from time to time.

Lu Wuxia pestered him to go to the Blue Palace to practice every day.

This is just an excuse because you can practice at home.

Lu Wuxia wanted to go to the Blue Palace because he wanted to try his luck. If he could meet Knicks players training there, he would pester them and offer to train together.

In fact, Louis could tell that except for Wilson, other Knicks players did not like to train with Lu Wuxia.

Because there is no quality.

Whenever Lu Wuxia appears in the Blue Palace, they act like those people on the field who just want to throw and pick up by themselves, but encounter passers-by who interfere with them - they can shoot happily by themselves, but when passers-by come, they have to do it.

Give away the "ball rights" and usually you can't refuse.

Fortunately, during this time, there were basically no players present at the Blue Palace.

There are still more than half a month left before the preseason training camp, and everyone wants to seize the last vacation and relax.

Apart from these things, Louis really didn't let other things affect his rest.

With Lorraine away filming a movie, Louis had little to do except look after the kids and attend a few TV shows.

So he found himself a temporary hobby - food appreciation.

In the world of life, if you don’t do it if you have the conditions to eat, drink and have fun, what’s the point of living?

So Louis ignored the objective fact that he had been struggling with his small belly for several seasons. He ate and drank freely for most of the month and gained 13 pounds of pure fat before the start of the preseason training camp.

Moreover, Louis has not had the habit of weighing himself, and it is difficult for people who gain weight to notice changes in their body shape by looking in the mirror.

Because they can see themselves in the mirror every day.

Even if you are gaining weight every day, as long as you don't gain ten pounds overnight, the change is difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Until Lorraine came home from filming her new movie and saw her husband who had suddenly grown a few sizes: "Honey, what's wrong with you?"

Then, Louis went to weigh himself.

"..."

Louis couldn't believe that he had gained so much weight in just ten days.

But the number on the scale reminded him profoundly that this was true.

"If I keep getting fatter, I will be laughed at by Patrick, right?" Lorraine is indeed Louis' wife. She hopes that her husband will lose weight, but she doesn't want her husband to think that she dislikes him.

Therefore, she chose someone whom Louis cared about very much as a cover.

Louis thought that the preseason training camp was about to begin. If Ewing could see what he looked like now...

"From now on, I will lose a pound of weight every day, otherwise I will not drink Coke for a year!"

"Are you trying too hard?"

"Shi Ke can't be killed! Do you know what that damn gorilla will say when he sees me like this?"

"What would you say?"

Lorraine tried hard not to laugh.

"I can't imagine it!" Louis couldn't imagine whether Ewing's emotional intelligence would be refreshed to the lowest limit after seeing him in his current state.

It's impossible to expect human words from the mouth of a Jamaican bastard to encourage him to lose weight.

Over the years, he has struggled with his belly.

Although the effect was almost useless, everyone in the team except Ewing gave him encouragement. Only this bastard made fun of his belly every few days.

Although it was definitely his fault that he couldn't get rid of his belly after spending six years, but he was Ewing's coach after all, so couldn't this bastard say something nice?

Maybe after hearing the other person's encouragement, he will make up his mind to lose weight?

However, obviously, one of the most important functions of Ewing in this world is to constantly remind Louis of the fact that he has failed to lose weight for six consecutive years. If he really changed his gender, Louis would only suspect that he was in trouble and deliberately said something nice.

It's good to suppress your anger.

No matter how determined Louis was, it was impossible to lose a pound of meat a day unless he adopted an extreme hunger strike.

But this is not healthy. Even if you successfully lose weight, the rebound will be equally fierce.

Louis couldn't really stop drinking Coke for a year, so his weight loss plan was changed to losing a little bit every day, and if there was a rebound, he wouldn't drink Coke for a year.

This plan seems quite reasonable.

When preseason training camp began, the changes in Louie's figure attracted everyone's attention.

When everyone first sees him, they will notice that his face has become larger, and secondly, his small belly has been upgraded to a medium belly.

"Have I really become ugly?" Louis asked Zhao Yuanzheng.

"Actually, it's okay..." Zhao Yuanzheng's emotional intelligence has always been very high. "The changes in all aspects are not obvious. The main reason is that the belly has become bigger... However, this is not a big deal."

"No big deal?" Louis asked in disbelief, "Really?"

Zhao Yuanzheng opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I really feel fine."

The first person to show low emotional intelligence was Louie's assistant coach, Doug Moe.

"Coach Lu, you are the soul of this team. Don't give up on yourself. Aren't you satisfied just by winning the first five consecutive championships and the Olympic championship in the merger era?"

Louis looked at him inexplicably: "How do you see that I am satisfied?"

Lao Mo mistakenly used a joke as a sword: "Great satisfaction is written on your belly."

"Fuck you, I have edema, I'll be fine in a few days!"

The second person who showed low emotional intelligence was Chris Jackson, and he showed it in a different way.

"Coach Lu, are you feeling well?"

He didn't think he needed to tell anyone how active Louis had been in bed last night.

"CJ, do you believe I can knock you into the ICU with one punch?"

Louis is fed up with everyone commenting on his body shape.

He quickly entered his office.

If he doesn't go to others, others will come to him.

The person Louis didn't want to see the most right now - Patrick Ewing came in without knocking. Seeing Louis' current appearance clearly, he looked disappointed: "Why are you so depraved?"

Damn it?

What does it mean?

"What the hell is wrong with me?" Louis asked testily.

Ewing asked sadly: "Are the Trail Blazers our biggest opponent?"

"This is nonsense."

"Is Pat Riley your biggest rival?"

"Did you spend the past month just learning how to talk nonsense?"

Ewing's subsequent words made Louis collapse: "Since Coach Riley is your opponent, shouldn't you pay attention to your image? Coach Riley values ​​his body like a fitness coach and dresses appropriately no matter where he is.

He is as handsome as Al Pacino on the court. Although you also had a belly before, your overall temperament looks no less than Coach Riley, but now... your face is as fat as a ball, and your lower body looks as fat as a ball.

The first time we played against the Trail Blazers, before the game even started, when the live camera showed the two of you, to the audience, the outcome was announced in advance."

"Coach, do you think you are letting yourself down like this?"

"You Jamaican bastard! Get out of my office right now. It's not your bastard's turn to worry about my body. Your father can't even knock on the door before he comes in. Do you know what politeness is? Get out of here, I'm here now

Don’t want to see you!”

After Ewing directly broke through Louis' defense, he left the office with satisfaction.

Ewing's words made Louis sit on pins and needles, and he realized the urgency of losing weight.

So, he walked out of his office, found the team's trainer Brian Kaminsky, and asked him to create a comprehensive weight loss plan for him.
