The Rest, Only Noise
Chapter 285: I'm John Long's shooting coach
LATEST WEBSITE: Media day was Louie's most tormented day ever as a professional coach, second only to the day he ran to the garden and headed straight to Auerbach's office only to find he had no Coca-Cola in his fridge.
Independence Day's Blake Adrian asked a question that Louie didn't want to answer.
"Have you considered improving your relationship with the media since coming to New York?"
As we all know, Louie has only had problems with the New York media.
Adrian's words tied all the media to the chariot of the New York media.
Listening to his words, Louis said lightly: "Maybe, like Elizabeth and Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, some people in the media think I'm arrogant, and I see their views as prejudice. In all fairness, we never Haven't been in close contact."
"I mean, you have to wear it to know if the shoes fit your feet, and in the same way, whether I can improve my relationship with the media is not up to me, but the media."
"I'll do what they want. If they don't want to (improve the relationship) then I'll just keep my 'arrogance'."
Each of the 20 media at the scene raised questions.
Moreover, as if they had colluded, each company asked different questions.
Some are personal, some are about basketball, some are about Louie's public persona, which honestly drives him crazy.
Fortunately, the last media outlet to interview Louie was The New York Post.
The Post wisely brought Selvin Haley, New York City's only reporter with a personal relationship with Louie, to the Knicks' media day.
Seeing his friend, Louis beamed: "Selvin, it's a pleasure to see you."
He often said this, but he was more sincere than now, no more than 100 times.
"Me too, Coach Lu, I never dreamed that you would be the head coach of the Knicks." Harry chatted with Luis like a friend.
"Come on, ask anything," Louie said. "I'll definitely answer any questions."
Unexpectedly, Harry came up with a headline question: "How is your relationship with Bernard King?"
A reporter asked before, but Louis did not give a positive answer.
Harry asked it again now, Louis thought, maybe it shouldn't be hidden, if the same question was thrown in front of Kim, would he hide it?
"The problem is definitely there. We all have good professionalism and know what to do. It won't affect us." Louis said a lie.
His relationship with Bernard King will 100% affect the Knicks' preparation.
Harry asked five questions, each of which Louis gave a positive answer.
It was one of his lightest moments of the day.
After the interview, he and Harry hang out in the Blue Palace.
Suddenly, they saw Bernard King on camera doing his signature attack.
Watching him make a show is like watching Yang Chaoyue dancing, forcing himself to do things he is not good at is painful.
Kim answered many questions today, including Louis's.
He was not as reserved as Louis, and said bluntly: "Our relationship is very distant, and there will be no good results in the long run."
Their conflict is an open fact, and Kim's answer at the media day shows that, halfway through training camp, Louis and his relationship have not made any progress.
Watching the Knicks' No. 1 player put on a show in front of the media, trying to show his handsome side, Louie frowned.
Kim's lucky shot from a metre away from the 3-point line sparked cheers.
"!#@¥%"
Louis shook his head.
Another reporter from The Times, williamden, asked loudly: "Coach Lu, are you not happy with Bernard's performance?"
Louie remembered him.
After All-Star Weekend last year, a reporter from New York asked Louie why he was humiliating Bernard King. Louie answered, and then the reporter roared, "An answer that insults the entire state of New York!"
Louis remembered this face, and at this time he deliberately picked things up and made everyone look over.
Debusschere wants to smooth the game: "The road must have no other meaning."
"Dave, I want to hear what Coach Lu has to say." Jin said.
If he said that, things couldn't be easily settled.
Debusschere gave Jin a dissatisfied look. Personal grievances are personal grievances, and the team's image is the team's image. By doing this now, he is shaking the team's internal contradictions in front of all the media in New York.
It just makes people laugh!
"Bernard, you probably don't want to hear my answer." Louie laughed.
Jin said solemnly, "I want to hear it."
"Of course I can, if you want to hear it," Louie exclaimed, jokingly. "I shook my head because the 3-pointer was never in your arsenal, it was just a lucky goal, we There's no 3-point play for you in the game, you've never been a Larry Bird shooter."
Hearing this, Jin sneered.
"I admit that my outside shooting is not as good as Larry, but it's not something that anyone can easily deny. I only recognize the evaluation of people who are stronger than me!" Jin's words made the atmosphere of the scene very stiff.
All the media are inexplicably excited. They don't expect the Knicks to perform in the new season. This is a team that **** like shit. If they can find some valuable news from this shit, it will be good.
I didn't expect to encounter such headline-level news!
"It's possible that my outside shot is more accurate than yours." Louie said with a contemptuous smile.
"Then let's have a match!" Jin said.
"Is it a little too late, Bernard?"
Debusschere doesn't want to see things continue to expand.
"Dave, it's not an exaggeration at all, I like this proposal." Louis stopped Debusschere, who wanted to forcibly control the situation, and took a few steps forward, "I don't like simple games, you have to Bet something."
"What do you want to bet on?"
"How about your salary next year?"
Jin's face changed drastically, he didn't want to play so big.
"My annual salary is almost double yours, it's not fair!"
Louie laughed like he saw the biggest embarrassment: "You averaged 28 points per game last season, and I haven't even played college basketball. Is this game fair? Or, you have no certainty of winning?"
"Yes! Bernard, Coach Lu can't play basketball at all!" Pat Cummings shouted loudly.
Someone spoke, and the others followed. Bernard King couldn't stand the tiger, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll bet on you and my annual salary next year!"
"I like your exhilaration, and I believe you are a person who keeps your word." Louis smiled and waved his hand. "There are all the staff here, and the 20 most influential media in Apple City can testify!"
Jin was already determined to compare, so naturally he wouldn't be fooled. He asked, "How do you want to compare?"
"It's very simple, it doesn't need to be too complicated. You and I randomly choose a shooting spot. Everyone shoots five goals. The one who scores the most wins. If the number of goals is the same, the game will be played." Trembling, please go first."
Jin snorted coldly and took the ball to the top of the arc he had just scored.
His career 3-point shooting data is 3-for-21. He doesn't usually practice 3-pointers, and he hardly shoots 3-pointers in games. He shoots 3-pointers based on feeling.
The first ball, hit the iron, the second ball, hit, the third ball, hit the iron, the fourth ball, hit, the fifth ball, hit the board hit.
"Umuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy" Pat Cummings exclaimed loudly, "Great, Bernard! It seems that Coach Lu is lost!"
There were a lot of voices on the spot, and it must be reiterated that this is the era of 1984, when someone scored a three-pointer in the game, and the home fans would be as excited as the climax.
A score of 3 out of 5 is considered acceptable for a person who has never practiced 3s.
"It's really good." Louis smiled and stepped forward.
He turned to Stockton in the crowd and said, "John, could you please pass the ball to me?"
"I'm very willing to help." Stockton ran to the basket with the ball and passed the ball to Louie.
As a result, Louie passed it back and said, "Pass it higher and harder."
"Coach Lu looks very professional." Cummings said next to King, "Bernard, you are in danger."
"Hmph, it's just a bluff."
Jin and everyone watched Louis catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer with his left hand, but they didn't even touch the basket.
About ten people hummed disdainfully at the same time, and when they thought of Louis betting on his salary for next year, they began to look forward to how he would end after losing this game.
Then, Stockton passed the second ball.
Louis caught the ball and adjusted it. This time, he actually shot a three-pointer with his right hand.
"Shh!"
The speed was too fast for everyone to react, he turned back and explained: "Sorry, I just forgot that I am right-handed."
Every moment Dave Anderson's mourned face, like a funeral home, burst into a smile.
"An interesting thing is about to happen."
"Luck ball! That one was definitely a luck ball just now!" Jin yelled, trying to interfere with Louis like this.
Louie turned back and smiled: "Bernard, at least in front of reporters, you have to show some upbringing, okay?"
The King of New York noticed his gaffe, and the scene suddenly became very quiet.
Louis raised his hand, the second ball.
"Shh!"
This time, even Stockton was shocked. He caught the ball at the rim and passed it with the same force, in the same direction.
"You know what? I used to go to Cleveland to interview for scouts, but I didn't even see Bill Fitch before I got slapped by a guy named Giba."
Louis said, the fourth ball.
"Shh!"
"#!@%##¥…"
"If the next goal is also scored!"
"Bernard will lose next year's salary to Coach Lu!"
"There have been a lot of people who have looked down on me for so long, and I've been wondering why." Louie put the ball on his waist and looked back at the guy who bet against him, "Today, Bernard made me understand. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ All the people who underestimate me, all the people who think of me as an idiot, are missing one thing - a head. I admit that each of them has a head, but they have never used it properly , like Bernard."
"Bernard, you thought you were amazing and could easily win this game, so you foolishly gambled on next year's salary, which is a full $900,000."
"If I were you, at least before this game, I would figure out one thing, I would ask 'Coach Lu, what was your original role on the Celtics coaching staff'."
"I'll tell you for sure..."
Louie's fifth ball, thrown in a standard stance.
"Shh!"
The reporters exclaimed in disbelief.
Louie turned back and looked at Bernard King with a gray face: "I'm John Lang's shooting coach."
