The rest is just noise

Before the preseason, there were two things that troubled Louis. One was that his second hometown Cleveland Browns lost 55-3 in the preseason. Although any preseason game in any professional sports league is not affected by

I take it seriously, but it is very rare to lose so miserably.

Fourteen years later, in addition to the NHL, MLB and NFL, Louis is paying attention. Seeing the Browns losing so miserably, Louis will naturally think of the non-existent Cavaliers.

In Louis' previous life, the Cavaliers rose from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, but were dominated by Jordan's Bulls. However, after his time travel, the Cavaliers declined from the 1980s to the 1990s and have not seen improvement yet.

To put it bluntly, they can't even figure it out.

Another thing that troubled Louis was the tragic announcement.

A few days ago, Tragedy Johnson publicly announced at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles that he would come back and return to basketball.

"Everyone has my back," Tragedy said, "and everyone knows that ballpark is where I belong, no matter what happens. That's where I belong. If you ask me, do I really want to go through that again?

What I'm trying to say is, I want to win them all. Some say I'm taking risks, but I think the positives outweigh all the risks. I'm not going to sit here and listen to other people talk about the risks of this. Because life itself is a

It's a risk. But in order to make myself happy, I have to come back, and I know everything will be fine."

This seems a bit like a drug dog artist complaining that society does not accept them and the masses do not give them a way to survive. The nature of the tragedy artist is not as serious as a drug dog, but for others in the league, playing with HIV carriers is

There will be a psychological burden.

Again, in 1992, few people could correctly understand the difference between living with HIV and suffering from AIDS.

Even the tragedy maker himself did not expect that the first person to come out to oppose him would be his Dream Team teammate Karl Malone.

"His comeback means nothing to me." Malone said harshly and realistically, "The basketball game is an intense sport. Everyone is likely to get injured in the game. Once he is injured on the court, how will the game proceed?

Go down? We have to consider its consequences and impact when we do things. I'm not a fan, I'm not a cheerleader, I just tell the truth. Maybe the tragedy's comeback is a good thing for basketball itself, but other than that, you have to

Think about other things, there are a lot of young people in the league who have a long life ahead of them, and although everyone is excited about the tragedy that the tragedy is coming out of the Olympics, now, we have to get back to reality."

After Malone, many people who were friendly to the tragedy master changed their stance and strongly opposed his comeback.

Suns team president Jerry Colangelo believes that no matter how low the risk is, it always exists, and others should not be exposed to unnecessary risks for the sake of one tragedy.

The tragedy master was not prepared for the opposition.

Malone had been with him for several months in the summer without saying anything, so why should he oppose him now? What saddened him the most was that when Malone and Colangelo publicly expressed their opinions, they did not communicate with him in advance. They

Taking the lead and arousing collective opposition from NBA players, these things gave the tragedy maker a wake-up call.

He thought the fans would warmly welcome him back, but he was wrong.

Some forces began to put pressure on the alliance. They hoped that Stern would prevent the tragedy from returning.

Stern remained unmoved, and the tragic player confirmed that he would play preseason games for the Lakers.

In the preseason game between the Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the tragic player was scratched on his right arm while dribbling for a layup. According to the new NBA rules, the referee immediately stopped the game and asked Lakers team doctor Gary

·Vitti treated Johnson's wounds. When the audience learned that the tragedian had wounds, they all sighed in unison.

The whole stadium was silent as the tragedy man walked towards Vitti.

Vitti knew very well that as required, he had to put on rubber gloves before treating Johnson's wound. However, for several weeks, Lakers players continued to sneak into his office and ask him about playing with Johnson.

Safe, and Vitti told them each time: "Actually, there's no danger at all."

What's hurtful is that the fans reacted as if the tragedy man was a corpse.

The faces of the Cavaliers players were full of fear, and the sighs of the fans were like sharp swords that pierced the tragedy artist's heart.

He knew that everything was over.

That weekend, the tragedy master announced his retirement again.

Whether he can play in the NBA or not, only time will tell.

Unfortunately, it will be several years before the world believes that people with HIV can exercise and play normally like other people and are not contagious.

Before the start of the preseason, Louis got the first surprise of the new season.

Madonna has released a new MV, the song is called "Erotica". As the name suggests, this MV is very pornographic. For Americans who grew up in the Puritan era (the Carter era), it is no different from porn. This MV, as well as the one she wrote last year

Porn Books, plus this new album this year, explore sex, fetishes, HIV/AIDS, homosexuality, discrimination, feminism, and infidelity.

Thanks in large part to this music album, many singers can talk about sex in their songs and have more freedom of expression without being criticized.

The MV was banned within a few days. What shocked Louis was that he discovered that Rodman appeared in the MV.

How long have they known each other?

Of course, Rodman's appearance in the music video will be discovered, which will immediately attract a large amount of media.

These people don't pay attention to sports or basketball, they just want to dig up gossip about Rodman.

Perhaps the additional distractions affected the Knicks' preparation, as they lost their first preseason game.

Louis has more important things to deal with than worrying about a loss in a preseason game.

Strange media from out of town were asking him questions about Rodman every day.

They want to know this, they want to know that, they want to know everything, but how did Louis know so much?

"Why don't you ask him yourself?"

What dissatisfied Louis the most was that Rodman began to miss training.

He had different excuses every time. In order to deal with Louis, all the elders in his family went to the hospital.

Finally, before the start of the last preseason game, Madonna wanted to ask Rodman for a day off, and then said that Rodman was fucking sick - "You'd better find out his relationship with his family before you make up such an excuse!"

Louis roared, "Tell him to come back to play or never come back!"

Louie was the only person Rodman feared in the world.

He's back with dazzling gothic red hair.

"Coach, are you looking for me?"

Rodman came to Louis' office.

"Close the door."

What awaited Rodman was a scolding. Louis did not threaten him because the Knicks still need Rodman, but Kemp is making rapid progress.

He wanted Rodman to know that if he didn't come to training, he would lose his starting position; if he didn't even want to play, then he would consider trading him.

These words are mainly threatening.

Rodman loved the fame and fortune that New York had brought him, and he didn't want to leave. Being traded was the worst possible outcome. Louis never thought of trading him. He knew that Rodman's fall was doomed, but he was the kind of person who could do anything.

Degenerate, a player who is effective on the court.

Even if Kemp replaces him in the starting lineup, Rodman will be a key figure for the Knicks. As long as the Knicks remain based on defense, Rodman will have irreplaceable value to them.

Phil Jackson's successful monkey training experience with Rodman influenced Louis.

He found that he was a little too indulgent with Rodman. If he started missing training frequently, the discipline within the team would no longer exist, which is the foundation of Louis' rule of the Knicks.

Louie could sense the team was going off the rails.

Rodman took care of himself for a few days, and the Knicks were able to achieve a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the preseason.

In the opening game of the 1992-93 season, the league arranged for the Knicks to face the Boston Celtics.

As the traditional powerhouse in the East, the Celtics did not perform many useful operations.

The only eye-catching thing is the signing of veteran Kiki Vandeweghe with a minimum salary. He will be Bird's backup.

When Vandeweghe was young, Auerbach looked down on him, but he didn't expect that he would become a member of the team when he got older.

What is this indicating?

Louis sees Celtic repeating the same mistakes.

This is no different than what happened after 1976, when the Celtics gradually became a disrespected team.

In the East, the teams that fans prefer are the Knicks, Heat, Hornets, and Pacers.

Even the Clippers in the Western Conference look more interesting than the Celtics.

Because of Louis, Bird did not retire in the summer of 1992, but his and Sampson's contracts will expire next summer.

For Bird, if the team cannot achieve results, there is no point in continuing to play.

As the league's number one center, Sampson began to live like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the early 1980s. He was very strong, but he was getting older and there was no young tragedy maker around to take over. The only result of staying in Boston was

Just prove your loyalty, and then let the rest of your prime years go to the grave with the glory of the Celtics.

Billy Owens suffered from depression. He arrived as the chosen one, only to be disappointed.

External pressure and internal pressure made him depressed and ill.

Apart from Owens, looking at the Celtics, there is no young man worth looking up to.

The problem is, they can't rebuild.

Because they will have two first-round picks in the hands of the Knicks in the future, if they mess up at this time, they may give up the New York Lottery pick for nothing.

"Why haven't you retired yet?"

"Is it fun to be on a bad team?"

As soon as they met, Louis fell in love with Bird.

Bird was in no mood to argue with him and ignored him as if he were nothing. He said hello to Wilson and Ewing and was about to start the game.
