The rest is just noise

Chapter 905: Awakening

"Where's that bastard?"

Louis' roar echoed in the Blue Palace.

No one can answer him.

"Benj, where did he go?" Louis roared.

Wilson explained: "Dennis hasn't contacted me for several days."

Rodman was suspended for four games, nine days apart.

Louis could still see him on the training ground for the first two days, but after returning to New York, he disappeared.

The phone couldn't be reached and the agent couldn't be contacted, but he still had plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

Therefore, he is not dead, but thinks that he is suspended, so he does not need to train.

Louis' anger can only be directed at other people, and that can only be done until Rodman comes back.

Without Rodman, the Knicks still started with five consecutive victories, and the battle between Ewing and Wilson for the scoring list aroused the interest of the media.

But Louis is not happy. In addition to internal dangers, Rodman, an already undisciplined bastard, is what gives him a headache.

On November 14, Rodman, who had been missing for a week, appeared in the bus.

The Knicks were about to leave for an away game. Rodman had brown hair, earrings, nose studs, and lip studs. He looked like a gothic non-mainstream.

After Louis got to the bus, he smiled and asked: "Who is this gentleman?"

"Who knows him?"

"How could you let a stranger in?"

"Laien, can anyone get on the bus?" Louis looked like he wanted to question the driver.

Rodman didn't want others to bear Louis' anger for him: "Coach, I'm sorry."

"Who the hell are you here to apologize to me? I can't bear it!" Louis said angrily.

Only God knows how much he missed the Rodman who would weakly say "sorry privater" after accidentally hurting an opponent on the court.

No matter who you are, please take away this monster-like bastard.

"I was wrong, coach. I shouldn't have played missing with you. This was all that bitch's idea."

Louis thought, the "bitch" in Rodman's words should be Madonna, right?

"If you do it yourself, you have to accept it. Even if it is advice given to you by others, if you don't want to, who can force you? Since you can disappear for seven fucking days, you can disappear for seventy days, why do you want to show up now?

Get out of here, I don’t want to see you!”

McHale came out in time to smooth things over: "Coach Lu, I think Dennis already knows that he was wrong, and we need him very much now."

"We need him?" Louis laughed angrily, "I don't need a fucking player who keeps disappearing!"

"I was really wrong, coach."

Louis really wanted to kick Rodman off the bus.

Why did he suddenly become so thick-skinned?

Wilson also interceded for Rodman: "Coach, let Dennis take the blame. If he doesn't play well tonight, it won't be too late to deal with him."

Louis let out a breath.

"Lao Lu, Dennis is indeed crucial to the Clippers' game tonight." Zhao Yuanzheng persuaded him.

Louis turned around and glared at Rodman fiercely: "Since so many people have begged for you, I will let you go for now, but this matter is not over yet. If you don't play well tonight, those of you who speak for him will

Everyone, please stay in Memorial Coliseum and lick that idiot Donald Sterling's feet!"

"Also!" Louis looked at Rodman and said, "Before you satisfy me, you have to substitute Shawn. Do you have any objections?"

"No, absolutely not." Rodman shook his head vigorously, "I wish I could even serve as a substitute for him. Sean should be the one, but I don't deserve it."

Rodman's shameless face made Louis lament once again how toxic Madonna is.

Isn't this just turning Rodman's single Magatama Sharingan into a kaleidoscope? Was it taken away by another fucking soul?

"calm down."

Tomjanovich patted Louis on the shoulder.

"Rudy, you have to be prepared." Louis seemed to be doubting life.

Tomjanovich asked in confusion: "What preparations?"

"Preparation to succeed me as head coach of the Knicks."

As soon as these words came out, the bus was almost forced to stop.

"@%@#￥%"

Tomjanovich asked incredulously: "What do you mean?"

"The longer I spend time with these bastards, the higher my blood pressure becomes. I feel that the reason why I gained weight is because of them. If it weren't for them, would I have so many troubles? Human beings are a kind of

Inferior creatures who forget their worries through binge drinking and overeating!"

Ewing gently mocked: "People who drink three bottles of Coke a day are bound to gain weight. Don't blame all mankind."

"You will die if you don't speak, right?" Louis stood up angrily, "Is it because I haven't scolded you in the past few days that you think you can do it again?"

Ewing's words struck a chord with his soul: "I was wrong, coach, but I have a problem."

"If you have any questions, just say so!"

"Have you successfully lost weight?"

"After arriving in Los Angeles, you have to be careful outside." As long as necessary, memory loss is only a momentary thing for Louis. "I heard that Arab radicals have been causing trouble there frequently recently."

Chris Jackson said: "Coach, that's a racist slur!"

The bus was noisy again, and no one cared about Louis' failure to lose weight.

"See, I will be pissed to death sooner or later!" Louis said as if he was giving instructions, "Rudy, when you become the head coach in the future, you have to be careful of these bastards."

Tomjanovich believed Louis was joking.

However, he also believes Louis is emotionally and physically exhausted by the Knicks' internal problems.

Maybe he has already thought about leaving, maybe he is just thinking about it, maybe he really has a plan, who knows?

Just like after winning the championship in Boston in 1984, no one believed that he would leave the Celtics, but like a medieval man escaping from the Black Death, he jumped from Boston to New York and achieved another great feat.

In the long run, Louis had no motivation to leave New York.

But in Tomjanovich's view, Louis had no motive to leave Boston in 1984. If it were him, he would not leave.

Louis looked at the road ahead and put aside other thoughts.

When the Knicks came to Los Angeles, there were many demonstrators outside the airport.

This is very strange, because the Knicks came to Angeles City this time to play a game against the Clippers.

There is no bad blood between the Clippers and Knicks.

The Clippers have been a joke in the league since they arrived in Los Angeles from San Diego, and it wasn't until this year that they started to improve.

The combination of Olajuwon, Mutombo, Drexler, and Sprewell is very interesting.

So far this season, we have only lost 2 games.

However, even if the Knicks may meet them in the finals and have a grudge, that will happen in the future.

What are Clippers fans fussing about?

After Louis carefully read the terms of their demonstration, he realized that they were not directed at the Knicks.

To be precise, they came for a certain Knicks player.

This person is Chris Jackson, he is American, but he is also the only MLM in the Knicks team, and he is a radical MLM.

Since the riots in Los Angeles, public security has been unstable. Many activists have taken the opportunity to cause chaos, and terrorist attacks have often occurred.

After the Los Angeles riots were quelled, the city did not return to calm.

Various violent conflicts and terrorist attacks occur from time to time.

As for these incidents, the media with ulterior motives poured dirty water on Arab activists.

So a generation of Americans developed Mlm phobia.

False believers like Olajuwon who have not completely surrendered their souls to God will naturally not be ostracized, but Malcolm X-style radicals like CJ are unpopular players.

Especially in riot-prone Los Angeles.

Local people did all kinds of things to offend CJ.

As the Knicks players stepped off the bus, CJ heard someone say: "Why are you here? Why don't you go back to the Middle East and tell your ***!"

CJ looked calm, but he almost exploded.

His teammates held him down in time, and Louis had someone take him away from the scene, but he saw too many malicious people and insulting posters on the way to the hotel.

He has never received as many insults in his life as he does today.

Since the afternoon, the phone number in CJ’s hotel room has been called frequently.

There were either harassing phone calls or verbal threats that would not be fulfilled. Some people threatened to kill him if he dared to leave the hotel.

This is only the early stage, once the media picks up the pace.

The ill will towards him will not be limited to Los Angeles, even New Yorkers may not look upon him favorably.

It wasn't until CJ found Louis and hoped that he would not be allowed to play tonight that Louis realized the seriousness of the problem.

"I'm not sure I can stay calm on the scene." CJ said, "I think it's better for the team if I don't play."

The longer he coaches CJ, the clearer Louis' answer becomes as to why he hasn't made a name for himself.

Everything happens for a reason.

Even if he has mastered an epoch-making style of play, it will be too difficult for him to realize his talent if it is not matched with the corresponding character of mind, if it is accompanied by strange illnesses, and if he also has religious beliefs that are not popular with the mainstream.

Compared with other things in his life, playing on the court may be the simplest thing.

And those difficult things that are accompanied by pain may crush him.

"If you don't show up, those people will feel like they succeeded."

Louis is insensitive to this kind of thing because in China, few people are ostracized because of their religious beliefs.

However, escaping is not the solution to the problem.

"If you let them succeed this time, there will be a next time. Next time, you will have to face them sooner or later." Louis suggested, "Instead of waiting until then, it is better to face them now. Maybe it won't be so bad."

CJ didn't answer Louis, he was silent.

"You go back and think about it, and you can give me an answer when we set off. No matter what you want to do, I will support you." Louis said.

CJ left Louis' room.

Louis didn't wait for his call, but on the team bus, Louis saw him sitting as usual.

He has already realized something.
