The Rest, Only Noise

When Louis returned to the hotel, he closed his eyes and did not feel sleepy.

Because all his mind is about the series.

The top priority right now is, how is this drama going to go?

A 2-3 deficit, although not as desperate as the 1-3 loss to the Celtics, was the most unfavorable situation for the Knicks in the playoffs since 1988.

Regardless of whether Ewing can stand up and become the leader of everyone as Louis thinks, it has now reached the stage where Louis must intervene.

He had to be as hysterical as he did after Game 4 of the 1988 Eastern Conference finals.

But so far, he has no motivation to behave that way.

Because on the face of it, the Knicks lost the game on the face of the slot is not big.

Louie agrees with the so-called view that the Knicks have little room for adjustment.

But looking back at the 1988 Eastern Conference finals, didn't the Knicks get beaten 1-3 by the Celtics after using all their means?

There is really no room for adjustment in tactics.

But there is room for improvement in the player's drive, execution and chemistry.

Louie tossed and turned on the bed, finding a clear difference between this time and the one in 1988.

In 1988, he didn't choose this method deliberately, but was pushed by the **** in Boston.

The so-called dog jumps over the wall, that's what it is.

If you want to make an analogy, this time is more like the 1983-84 season when he reorganized the Celtics.

After all, he had just made his debut at that time. He was young and energetic, and he boasted with Auerbach. With Bird and Sampson as the two basic players, he could naturally PUA Thomas without any worries.

Now this is the first time that it is both passive (subsequent development is not controlled) and active (self-selected).

What keeps Louie awake is that this way of making an active choice makes him lose the 1988 anger that ignited the team.

He couldn't just stand on the sidelines and watch, and if he wanted to light the dynamite keg, he needed a cannonball from him.

So what to do now? He wasn't angry at all.

Louis thought about it, but there was only one way.

Since it was getting late, he first had to let himself fall asleep. This method needed the cooperation of others, and he had to be someone who knew him very well.

Louie tossed in bed alone until four in the morning before falling asleep in a daze, and then woke up automatically at eight.

He obviously didn't get enough sleep, but he couldn't sleep at all.

He yawned and walked to the bathroom to wash.

Through the mirror, he saw what he looked like now.

Her hair was disheveled, the stubble was growing, and there was no sharpness in her eyes.

"Clap!"

Louis took the cold water and patted his cheek.

He shaved off the beard on his face and looked at his face again. Although the eight-year battle with Little Belly was always a win and a loss, he maintained his basic posture and did not let the Fat Legion swept the ground further. Zhang asked him to achieve the handsome face of a hundred people within half a year after crossing.

"Change to a younger hairstyle and say that I am 18 years old and people will believe it."

someone talking to himself.

The moment he walked out of the bathroom, Louis was much awake, and he called home.

The person who answered the phone was Li Xuanbing.

"Mom, is Lorraine at home?"

"It's been almost a week since you've been out. It's rare to find a daughter-in-law by calling home?"

"Mom, I've been too busy with work recently, and I really don't care much about you. When the season ends, I'll make it up. Can you call Lorraine for me first?"

"Understood, you will miss your daughter-in-law."

Finally, Lorraine answered the phone.

Judging from the speed at which she answered the phone, she should be by Li Xuanbing's side.

As soon as Lorraine said "hello", Louis was the first to speak: "Listen, dear, don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next."

"Baby, you know I'm an accomplished actor, so no matter what you're going to say, I'm not afraid."

"I'll go home later, and when I get home, you're going to do everything possible to make me angry, you know?"

"To make you angry?"

Lorraine had never heard such a bizarre request from Louis.

She thought Louis was typing some kind of code, so she was wrong. Since her mother-in-law was by her side, she said shyly, "Do you want me to wear that?"

"It's not that kind of madness, it's just making you angry with me, Malena, it's literally making me angry, but don't worry, I won't really get angry with you, you just need to make me angry. !"

After Lorraine hung up the phone, his brows furrowed tightly.

Li Xuanbing was even more strange: "What did that kid say to you? He grinned and frowned."

Lorraine said puzzled: "He told me to make him angry..."

"Then what are you laughing at?"

"I...I thought he was kidding me."

Obviously Lorraine didn't know him as well as Louis thought, at least, Lorraine had no clue about making Louis angry.

It takes five hours from Portland to New York by ordinary civil aviation. Knicks took a special plane, which departed at 9:00 in the morning and arrived before 12:00.

Not only did Louis come home early, but he also had lunch.

As a result, Louis was disappointed, and Lorraine not only did not make him angry, but also asked him for help, trying to get him out of the shadow of defeat.

The problem is that he doesn't have any special shadows at all.

"Marlene, are all of you Italians irritating with purple sauce?"

Louis deliberately spoke Mandarin in an odd tone.

Lorraine has basically mastered the spoken Mandarin in these years (1), except for the heavy accent, communication is basically no problem.

"Aren't you used to it?" Lorraine also used Mandarin.

"No, I'm used to it. In fact, except for not making me angry, I'm basically satisfied with your performance."

Louie gave up, and it was really strange to let his wife **** him off.

This time of year is the time when Louis's family is at its fullest.

Both children have summer vacations. In order to accompany them during the vacations, Lorraine basically does not play in these two months.

Except for Wang Zhizhi who went out to participate in the competition, everyone was there.

After lunch, Louis decided to chat with the two children at home.

But he first needs to be a listener before he gets involved in the siblings' conversation.

This topic was brought up by Lu Wuxia.

"You know what, Patrick Ewing's son is so cool."

Lu Wuyan: Huh?

"He kept all the dogs and cats in the house in the fridge."

Louie was at a loss, what does this have to do with cool, according to the description, does Ewing's son seem to be a little devil who likes to abuse animals?

Lu Wuyan: なんだって? ("What did you say" in Japanese), kitten? How do you know it?

"I went to his house yesterday to see it with my own eyes."

Lu Wuyan: How did you see it?

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Lu Wuyan: He actually put dead dogs and dead cats in the refrigerator?

"Not dead, alive, I played with them yesterday."

Lu Wuyan suddenly became excited: "バカヤロウ, the lowest だ (breathing fragrant mouth), he actually kept the small living animals in the refrigerator? How can you do this?"

"no...."

Louis heard this and left silently.

He had three thoughts.

The child's world is pure, and he, a guy who is polluted by colorful thoughts, should not participate in it.

It's time to limit the frequency of my daughter's watching animations of the island country. This mouth is in Japanese, so what are you trying to make a fuss about?

He really wanted to tell his son that the things he thought were interesting might not be interesting to his sister at all, or to put it more cruelly, her sister had hardly listened to him until he said that the cats and dogs in the refrigerator were living of...

Louie finally found out that he was a little idle.

Since there is nothing to stay at home, it is better to take care of yourself and leave for the Blue Palace early. There are still a lot of things in the team.

So, he decided to give himself a new hairstyle first.

Louis came to the most famous barber shop nearby, where Mr. Tony has designed hairstyles for many celebrities.

When Louis proposed "give me a hairstyle that can make me 10 years younger", the other party said with a smile: "Coach Lu, what's exciting to you?"

"I just want to be younger."

"Okay, then look, I have a lot of templates here."

Louie selected one of the many templates called "The

Heartthrob" hairstyle.

This hairstyle is not as simple as making him younger, it is just like Chen Kun in "Flying Armor".

"It's him!"

"The

Heartthrob" is as charming as the whole name implies.

In the 90s, all good looking men wore this hairstyle at some stage.

33-year-old Louie has a "The

Heartthrob," which, if nothing else, would make the news.

"Anthony, do you think this hairstyle suits me?"

Louie asked the barber after narcissism in the mirror for about ten minutes.

"Trust me, dear coach Lu, even if Johnny Depp meets you, he has to stay away."

"Hahaha, just with this sentence, your season pass at MSG can be renewed into the 21st century."

When Louis went home, his hairstyle made Lorraine cover his mouth, Li Xuanbing frowned, Lu Wuxia was stunned, and Lu Wuyan cried.

"I don't want you to have this hairstyle!" Lu Wuyan cried and cried, "Change back, Dad!"

It is said that children have an inertia in their cognition of adults. If adults change too much in order to improve their image, for children, it will be as scary as an adult in memory suddenly turned into a stranger.

Louis didn't expect this, but judging from his daughter's reaction, the effect of his new hairstyle was achieved, and there must be such an earth-shaking change. As for her daughter's tears and shock, it was just the price that had to be paid.

What child has no shadow in her childhood, as an old father who loves her deeply, giving her a complete childhood is also a manifestation of fatherly love.

When Louis went out, Lorraine specially brought him a drink.

It was the necessities of his life - Coke.

"Darling, although you didn't make me angry, I won't blame you, it shows that you love me."

Louis said moved.

Lorraine gave him a kiss: "I really love you."

Louis took Coke, went to the garage, and drove to the Blue Palace alone.

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon and only a few people came.

Louie greeted them and went straight to the office. As an unprofessional actor, how could he turn himself into a demon? It's a test of acting skills.

Louie decides to drink a Coke.

When he opened the bottle cap as usual and poured a mouthful of liquid into his mouth without any precaution, he instantly realized that something was wrong.

Shocked, unbelievable, disgusting, painful - shit, it's Pepsi!

Louis vomited directly, turned it over and saw that it was the packaging of Coca-Cola. Although it was bottled, the taste couldn't be that much worse, and it couldn't have been so similar to Pepsi.

"Is there something wrong with my sense of taste?"

Louis decided to take another sip.

This mouthful made him sure that this disgusting bottle was Pepsi!

Then, Louis noticed that the wrapping paper on the bottle was not strong. When he opened the package, he found that there were traces of torn wrapping paper inside, and the traces were still red...

The creator of the prank, lest he didn't know whose masterpiece it was, left the following sentence on the place where the packaging was not completely torn:

"Mr. Lu, Pepsi is the best Coke in the world." (scrawled Chinese, suspected to be written by an old mother)

What is the person who loves you most often hurts you the most?

Louis now knew what that meant.

A very simple little prank by Lorraine "Marlene" Molina, which directly made Coach Lu get full of blood pressure in the office and want to find someone to anger.

⑴Actually, Lorraine wanted to understand the Chinese dialogue between Louis and Li Xuanbing. This is a supplement to the main text. This footnote is specially prepared for the very few people who may ask "Why didn't Louis learn Italian?".
