The rest is just noise

Mohamed Rauf's loss of control is no surprise.

The scene that happened in the media interview room today will surely become a famous scene in NBA history.

For the Knicks, Rauf's reputation as a country-hate will spread throughout the United States, and then they will face a decision.

How to deal with such players who blatantly hate the country?

Although New York's stance has always been blue, blue does not mean it is unpatriotic.

Rauf's words and deeds are unacceptable to them. If the trading window has not closed yet, maybe Louis should consider trading Rauf.

To be fair, the scene where Rauf criticized the reporter was very enjoyable.

Especially if Louis looked at it from a foreigner's perspective, he would scold him heartily.

However, Louis could not find pleasure in this matter.

Rauf's outburst today was like the famous trial of the little devil in "Game of Thrones".

That scene was one of the climaxes in the early stages of "Game of Thrones", but what awaited Rauf was not patricide and relief (and a rapidly declining IQ), but unpredictable consequences.

To be sure, the result won't make him feel sweet.

Only Louis and Ewing were left in the corridor. Rauf was taken away from the scene by people from the public relations department because he needed a quiet environment to control his emotions.

Remember what Ewing said? He's going to face it with Rauf.

But just now, who was facing the reporter?

Did Ewing have any role?

No, it is as transparent as air.

This accident could have been avoided if Ewing had made wise choices like a mature leader.

"What do you think of this result?"

Halfway through, Louis suddenly stopped and asked.

Ewing didn't know how to answer, so he didn't answer.

"Too bad." Ewing seemed to be awakened by Rauf's overreaction, "Maybe we shouldn't let MAR attend the press conference."

"perhaps?"

Louis sneered, his anger already burning, and his patience with Ewing exhausted.

"Now that things have gotten to this point, you realize that he shouldn't have come to the press conference? Maybe? You tell me maybe? You stupid bastard, do you know how much trouble he got into?"

Ewing didn't expect Louis to be angry with him. He thought he just didn't consider Rauf's strange illness, but he didn't think he should be responsible for it.

"It is Muhammad's responsibility to do these things. He is too maverick. No one on the team agrees with what he does. Is it because he hates this country that we must hate it too?" Ewing retorted.

The gesture reminded Louie of Stockton.

A furious Louis walked up to Ewing and yelled: "Do you think I'm only angry about this?"

"Do you know why I'm angry? You idiot! I'm angry because you never live up to my expectations! I'm angry because you've never been a good leader! I'm angry because you always make the same fucking mistake

You are wrong without even realizing it!”

Ewing always thought he could get at least 80 points from Louis, but today Louis told him that he couldn't even get a passing grade?

Of course he was not convinced.

Ewing asked dissatisfiedly: "Then you can tell me what I didn't do well!"

"What did you do poorly? You got the point right! Your real problem is that you have done almost everything well, but you haven't figured out how to be a leader!"

"Externally, you don't have a good public image. You are hostile to the media, refuse sponsors, and ignore the fans. Don't fucking think about using Bill Russell to block the gun. You two are not the same thing at all. New York fans once loved you.

But they like Benj more now, and you know why. I have seen many unlikable stars, but I have never seen a leader who is not liked by fans!"

"You are as maverick as MAR, he hates this country, and you hate the media and fans in New York, but we never blame you for this, because we know this is you and we support you, but when MAR needs your support

What did you do when he was attacked? You said you wanted to face it with him, but what did you do when he was besieged by the media just now?"

Ewing, who was still confident at first, was broken through by Louis.

Even though he has a lot of truth in his heart, now he is not justified or right.

He couldn't refute Louis' words, he could only listen.

"What I can't understand the most is your damn insecurity! Even if I don't admit it, you are the leader of the Knicks. Benj also thinks you are the leader of the team, but you don't think so. You always think Benj will

Take away your position, so you have to constantly establish your prestige in the team, make everyone fear you, and make Benj realize again and again that the Knicks are your team!"

"But you know what? A true leader will never establish his authority at the expense of dividing the team! Thanks to you, the Knicks are divided into two factions, one group of people stands on Benj's side, and one group of people stands on your side

Side, you compete with each other and play every day like a formal game. I thank you for bringing such strong competitiveness to the Knicks. If that's all, I will not only not deny your leadership ability, but also respect you.

Huge praise because you have taken a completely different path to leadership."

Louis thought about what he had experienced over the years, the helplessness of knowing that there was a problem but being unable to change it and could only let it develop, which made a self-deprecating sneer appear on his face.

"But are you satisfied? Have you stopped provoking Benj because of this? You said that I favor Benj, do you know why I favor him? Because he will never take the initiative to provoke you, he will not take your position, your

Title, he just wants to maintain the unity of this team, and you have violated his bottom line again and again. Tell me, does a leader who actively divides the internal team and lets his most capable helper down meet the standards?"

Wilson was becoming a thorn in Ewing's side, and their rivalry had intensified since the 1990s.

Although Ewing is the leader within the team, outside the team, Wilson is the leader in the eyes of the fans.

"You said he won't fight?" Ewing retorted as if he was grasping at straws. "Even if he doesn't think so, what about the people behind him? What about his camp? His agent doesn't think so!"

"Can you use your damn pig brain and think about it, is your teammate Benj, or the group of people behind him? What do you care about more, what those people say, or what Benj does?" You

Yin's answer made Louis furious, "That's ridiculous! Now I know why Benj gave in blindly without gaining your peace of mind, because you don't give a damn what he does, you only care about what the person behind him says, if you are so

If you care about what other people say, you should have a good fucking relationship with the media. If you want to be an inhumane asshole, don't give a damn what they say about you! Why do you have to double down on Benj?

Standard? Why can't you ever let down your guard against him? Why? You're driving Benj crazy, you bastard!"

Ewing's defense was completely broken through by Louis. He retreated to the wall in confusion, just wanting to stay away from Louis.

But Louis' thunderous fury has already started, how can he stop?

"I've been thinking, why are we like this? We used to be a perfect team, but now, internal conflicts have almost crushed us. Faced with this kind of emergency, we can't even unite our minds to tide over the difficulties together. Why?

I always wondered why! Now I know!”

Louis' eyes were bloodshot.

"Because our leader is a damn bastard who never knew how to lead a great team!"

Ewing was like a dog forced into a corner. Unable to retreat, he could only choose to face the pressure brought by Louis.

He broke down and yelled: "Since I have done so many things wrong, why did you wait until now to tell me?"

Louis' eyes were red, and the out-of-control emotions caused by anger made his voice hoarse and trembling; "This is exactly where I am disappointed with myself. I am not as responsible as I imagined. I am not as responsible as I thought."

Guide you correctly to become a qualified leader."

Ewing stayed where he was.

"When we selected you, I vowed to myself that I would make you a better Bill Russell and that you would be our great leader." Louis couldn't hide his disappointment, "I may have to break my promise.

Patrick, I'm disappointed in you, and I'm disappointed in myself."

"We all messed up."
