The rest is just noise

"Coach, Patrick and I have no problem."

Louis seemed so angry that his heartbeat was arrhythmic, and Wilson did not forget to say a few words to comfort him.

"We'll take care of it."

"Stop pretending." Louis slumped on the chair, "Just do your own thing."

"Also, do those rumors really have nothing to do with you?" Louis asked.

It was important to Louis to confirm the authenticity of this matter, at least to prove whether Wilson was who he appeared to be.

If he insists that the incident has nothing to do with him, but in fact it was him who did it, wouldn't it prove that he is actually a double-dealing villain like Thomas?

"It has nothing to do with me."

Wilson answered in the affirmative.

"Don't play word games. Does it just have nothing to do with you, or does it have nothing to do with you and those people behind you?"

Wilson did not go around in circles with Louis and reiterated: "My team and Patrick's team have always been in competition, but for this kind of thing, they will only catch the wind and not make things out of thin air."

"I believe you." Louis smiled, "Go ahead, I know you are very busy."

After Wilson left, Louis was the only one left in the room.

On the surface he pretended not to care, but in fact he felt a little sad about the deterioration of the relationship within the team and the irreversible confrontation between Wei and You.

The perfect team in his imagination should not have problems like this.

Although the 1984 Celtics had many internal conflicts, they became the perfect team in the Finals and maintained dominance and unity in the following years.

Since entering the 1990s, the Knicks have rarely been united.

Because the rivalry between Wilson and Ewing was a war that started from within.

Wilson is getting stronger and stronger, and the confrontation between the two will only intensify, not ease, and they will not become good teammates like Bird and Thomas.

Although Thomas failed to share the hardships with Bird, Louis doubted that given Ewing's virtue and Wilson's increasingly low tolerance for him, would they not be able to share the hardships together?

These things made Louis feel weak and tired.

They are different from trading, different from the draft, and different from starting from scratch with a new team.

Tom Heinsohn called him the light chaser because he always chased the bright spots in his players and let them shine on the stage.

But now, Louis hopes that he is a mind hunter.

He has the special ability to capture what geniuses are thinking and control their thinking, allowing them to unite in the face of difficulties, sacrifice in the face of interests, and make the best decision for the team when faced with choices.

99% of the time, Wilson is that player.

But not Ewing.

He has his own set of standards and will not change them casually.

He is also very good at dragging Wilson down to the same level as himself, and then using his rich experience to gain the upper hand.

During this process, Ewing was very angry, Wilson was very painful, and Louis watched them become enemies but could do nothing.

No one can control people's hearts except firm faith.

It's a pity that Louis lives in a world without faith, and even if there is one, it's not in the United States.

The evil capitalism only believes in capital.

And isn’t it the benefits brought by capital that brought Ewing and Wilson to this point?

Qian is indeed a bastard.

The next day, the league announced Rodman's punishment.

In addition to being punished with a second-degree flagrant foul, Rodman was also suspended for three games and fined $5,000.

The second-level flagrant foul itself will automatically result in a suspension in the next game, so in total, Rodman will be suspended for four games.

In the next four games, Sean Kemp will be the starting four for the Knicks.

On November 3, Clinton staged the biggest electoral upset before knowing the king, defeating the arrogant Bush Sr. who carried the legacy of Jimmy Carter, and became the new talker of Charming America.

On the same day, the Knicks played their first home game of the new season at Madison Square Garden.

How good is the league at arranging stunts?

The opponent they prepared for the Knicks was the Orlando Magic.

The same team that won the first division in the 1990s.

And today is O'Neal's first appearance of his rookie season.

In addition to the gimmicks on the field, there are also the ones off the field.

The Knicks invited Lakers legend Wilt Chamberlain to symbolically throw the ball for Ewing and O'Neal.

MSG also invited popular female singer Whitney Houston to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner".

And today happens to be the day when the Knicks’ home court holds a flag-raising ceremony.

This BUFF stack is like a disabled transgender gay black Mlm in the 2020s. Would anyone dare to refuse any role he/she auditions for?

In order to record O'Neal's career debut, NBC specially broadcast this unsuspicious game live across the United States.

There is a lot of interest in O'Neal, who is the most hyped player of the cable television era and a definite superstar.

As soon as it started, Marv Albert, a staunch Knicks supporter, started bragging.

"Many scouts believe that the sky is the limit for Shaquille O'Neal. How high his sky is depends on whether he can understand the game and make the most of his physical talents based on reality. There are various signs that he will be

A special player, he could very well be the next Ralph Sampson."

Commentators for MSG Media Television are Walter Frazier and Bruce Baker.

Before the game started, Baker asked Frazier what he expected from the game.

"I believe that many people are like me. The focus tonight is not on the Knicks." Frazier smiled. "I have heard many people mention Orlando's 'Shark'. Is he really that good? I will wait and see. But I think,

Patrick Ewing will be better than him. As a rookie, he will encounter problems with physical confrontation, and Ewing will use his experience to put the Sharks into foul crisis."

Chamberlain will naturally be affected.

He was wearing a sultry purple shirt today, and when asked about the comparison between himself and O'Neal, Big Dipper rarely became humble.

"I won't compare myself to O'Neal. He is a completely new concept. No one has ever been as strong, quick and explosive as him. He is so special. Moreover, I only made $420,000 in my entire career. He is now

Already signed a $6 million rookie contract, so...well, there's nothing to compare it to."

All you need to know is that Chamberlain is talking nonsense and he must have made more money than 420,000.

The old-timers have a sense of arrogance, and so did Chamberlain. Although technology is innovating and sports are developing, no matter what time, the older generation will never admit that their times have fallen behind.

The contempt that the stars of the 1960s have for the 1990s is exactly the same as the contempt that future stars of the 1990s will have for the 1920s.

They have a point, but only a point.

If you really think about it carefully, most people will admit that competitive sports develop from generation to generation.

Over the past few decades, the competition methods have been updated countless times.

"Patrick, didn't you say before that you wanted to show that boy some color?"

Before the show started, Louis called Ewing to his side with an expression on his face like he was watching the show.

"Now, your opportunity has come, don't let everyone down." Louis said to Ewing with a smile.

Ewing glanced at O'Neal. Since the Magic are a weak freshman team and tonight is their first game of the new season, the Knicks coaching staff did not study them.

This is an encounter, but the Knicks undoubtedly have an overall advantage.

Before the game started, Chamberlain threw the ball symbolically for both sides, then shook hands with O'Neal and Ewing, leaving a classic photo of "Chamberlain looks like he can still play for 10 minutes."

At the same time, the members of the magic are not much different from what Louis knew in his previous life.

There is Nick Anderson, who missed four free throws in the Finals and lost the game, and there is white power forward Jeff Turner, who has mediocre abilities, but was thrown out of the circle because of a piece of unfair news. The reason why he was wronged was because he was fundamentally

He didn't do it, but the world is full of legends about him.

Someone stole his name and showed mercy in his hometown. When it was finally exposed, Turner also became famous.

There is also Scott Scales, who was hired from the Cavaliers in the offseason. At this time, he is not the NBA's single-game assist record holder.

Donald Royal SF, a nobody.

If it weren't for O'Neal, this team would be diving into the lottery to get another No. 1 pick.

Even with O'Neal, their record will not change.

However, now that we have the core, we need to work hard.

On the opening jump ball, the more experienced Ewing succeeded, and he and Stockton used pick-and-rolls to play around with O'Neal.

O'Neal didn't know who to defend in that situation. He was like a headless fly, hitting everything.

Ewing held the ball in the middle and attacked the basket in three steps to score.

Although the person guarding Ewing was Turner, Ewing insisted on talking trash to O'Neal: "Rookie, this ball is for you!"

"What's so crazy about him?" Louis said to Zhao Yuanzheng, "If I were a shark, I would dunk hard on his head. Do you really think no one but Sampson can deal with him?"

As a result, the Magic chose to open up and let O'Neal play in isolation.

Facing Ewing, O'Neal was obviously nervous and didn't move his body. The second time he hit his back, the ball dribbled to his feet and went out of bounds.

"Shark, what's wrong with you, shark?" Louis shouted in disbelief.

In O'Neal's opinion, his reaction was a deliberate attempt to mess with his mentality.

Ewing became even more arrogant and looked at Louis with a hint of wildness.

Is this something you should take seriously?

Little shark, so ridiculous!

At that time, Louis had a question: Is it easier to convey information through expressions the uglier you are?

Ewing didn't say a word, but his face was full of dirty talk.

Returning to the offensive end again, this time, Ewing did not use the pick-and-roll and directly chose the low post.

O'Neal tried hard to defend, but Ewing, who was full of confidence, turned over and shot, and his iconic rabbit jump shot hit again.
