The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter eight hundred and thirteenth world support

"Patrick, as far as we know, the American Basketball Association sent you an invitation at the first time."

Ewing didn't deny it: "Yes."

"What's the reason you haven't given an answer?"

Ewing glanced at Louie, and even today, he still doesn't know how to correctly view the meaning of Louie to him.

In the game, Louis is his coach, and he is extremely dignified and cannot be offended; off the court, Louis is Louis, and he doesn't mind if the player is not his coach; therefore, in daily life, Louis is more like a brother, but in the game, He is like a strict father.

Strict Father, this is a role Ewing's biological father Carl Ewing Sr. never played. John Thompson became Ewing's first strict father in Georgetown, but from the results, Ewing had to agree with Louie, and he stopped at Georgetown University.

Thompson gave him the kind of anger unique to black Americans.

He made Ewing understand that in life, dignity comes first.

He seems to have taught Ewing everything except to be a greater player.

Louie took over Ewing after him, reshaping his future. Now, the Dream Team is like a hall of honor. Only the best players and coaches of his generation can join, and Wilson does not hesitate to stand by Louie, because Louie has saved his life.

What should Ewing say?

"I'm waiting."

Even Ewing himself was amazed, as if he already knew how to answer.

"Wait for what?" the media asked.

"I'm waiting for Coach Lu to become the head coach of the Dream Team."

"What if Coach Lu didn't become the head coach of the Dream Team?"

Ewing put on the look that reporters hated, saying grimly and proudly: "I'm going to turn down an invitation from USA Basketball. I know what you're going to say, but it's not gangs, and it's not that I'm not patriotic. , although I am from Jamaica, I have already won an Olympic gold medal for the US team in 1984. I have won glory for the United States, which has surpassed 99% of Americans. If anyone wants to question whether I am patriotic, please first Ask yourself, what have you done for America compared to me?"

"I won the Olympic gold medal before I even played professional basketball. The Olympic Games is not difficult or challenging for me, and I am a person who likes to constantly accept challenges. If Coach Lu hadn't become the head coach of the Dream Team, I wouldn't be on this team. The only reason for me to give up my summer vacation to represent the Dream Team and compete for an easy gold medal is because Coach Lu is the head coach of that team." Ewing Ugly smiled and said, "I like to joke very much, but every word I said today is not a joke, I am more serious than ever."

Rick Joseph of Press & Communications was surprised by Ewing's flawless statement.

He was afraid that the media would mess with him, so he hurried over to end the press conference tonight.

"Friends from the media, Coach Lu and the others still have some matters to deal with, and they have to leave, please forgive me."

Louis walked into the passage with a smile on his face.

He didn't know what to say to Ewing and Wilson.

Thank you is too shallow.

But if you don't say anything, it seems a little ruthless?

Louie hesitated, but Ewing took the initiative to speak: "I know what you want to say, you don't need my help, you can coach the Dream Team without my support, I know you want to say that. I don't mean it either. That's what you said, we are a team, we should do what we say, and I will be on your side no matter what."

After all, the Pepsi-Cola spokesperson seemed to really think that he had seen through the thoughts of the Coca-Cola spokesperson and walked forward contentedly.

"Did this **** drink too much Pepsi? He just talked nonsense without saying anything?" Louie complained dissatisfiedly.

Wilson helped Ewing clarify: "Except for commercials, Patrick doesn't usually drink Coke."

"Didn't you hear what he just said? He thought he knew me well? How could I say something like that, damn, am I usually so mean?" Louie was so angry that he didn't know what to say, "I just Want to be nice to him, that's what he is, this guy really...I...Fuck!"

Wilson wanted to say that Louie was usually mean to Ewing, but he didn't seem to feel it.

Probably because he took those things for fun?

How could he feel mean if he sees torture for fun?

The remarks of Louis, Wilson and Ewing have aroused a strong response in public opinion.

Rod Thorne, an American Basketball Association official and a member of the selection committee, held a press conference the next day, announcing a rule: "All Dream Team staff members must submit a job application, which must be reviewed and approved. join the team."

This is obviously an ad hoc policy for Louis.

Louie has already made it clear that he will not submit a job application, and he came here as if to tell others that Louie has withdrawn from the competition for the dream team head coach.

It was also on this day that Dave Gavitt's mobilization of Bird failed.

Bird announced to the public: "Participating in the Olympics means all year round. I am already at this age, and I am not sure if I can bear that much. If I must participate in the Olympics, I hope to play under an acquaintance."

Bird did not specify who he was referring to as an acquaintance.

But the head coach of the Dream Team actually has only three contenders.

Little K, who led Duke to two consecutive championships, and Larry Brown, who proved he could succeed in both pro and college basketball, and then Louie.

Little K and Brown are actually counted as academies, and Louie represents the wild way of professional basketball who has not received professional training.

Of these three, only Louis and Byrd were familiar.

So Bird's statement, to a certain extent, is like Ewing and the others, showing that he is only willing to play for Louis.

Wilson and Ewing are the face of the league. After the tragic man was infected with HIV, although he is no longer the number one star of the Dream Team, as GOAT, he still has a decisive influence.

These two, plus Jordan, are the Iron Triangle of the Dream Team, and now two of them say they're on the same page as Louie, and there's Bird, the all-time best who built GOAT's foundation in the '80s—despite his goat name. No. has been questioned by many famous players, and his personality is unstable, but he is indeed the most famous among the active players.

Tragic division is still not sure whether to fight, if Bird also withdraws, there is no super giant formation of the new generation of Ewing and Wilson, can the dream team still be called the dream team?

Just after Bird's remarks, Ralph Sampson backtracked.

"I think the agencies are putting themselves in an overly high position," Sampson told Bob Ryan. "They seem to feel like they can name players and coaches on this team, but the choice is ours. "We know that the players who can join this team are all superstars, and since they are superstars, they have their own personalities, and you have to let someone who can harness these different and extra strong egos lead us forward."

If Bird is euphemistically standing in line, Sampson is playing a clear card.

"I have no objection to you finding a few college coaches. They must have had great achievements in the NCAA, but if you ask who we want to play for, I believe everyone's answer is LittleLu." Sampson fiercely Ask, "Of all the active coaches, who is better than LittleLu? Bob Knight might be one, but he doesn't know us well enough, the others? I don't think they can get Larry, Charles, MJ, Patrick, Benj, this is a very self-aware individual, I have seen many coaches, LittleLu is different, he has the charisma to make everyone calm and listen to him. There is no doubt that he is the best coach in the service and should be He is the only head coach of the Dream Team. The relevant agencies should respect him as much as we respect him. You are facing a coach who is only 32 years old but can wear a championship ring all over one hand. How dare you do that Neglect him?"

Mr. One's speech fell like a thunderbolt.

The most terrifying thing is his statement.

"I'd love to play for my dream team, and I'd love to bring the best basketball to the world, but only if it's Little Lu who leads me forward. My basketball career has been brilliant because of him, if I'm going to be in front of fans all over the world Redefine the game, and I want to be with him." Sampson finally said, "I officially withdraw my commitment to join the Dream Team, and I will not make another decision until the coaching staff is finalized."

Yet another iconic superstar exit.

Louie's 14 years of hard work in the professional basketball circle is forming a force that cannot be ignored, forcing the USA Basketball Association and the selection committee to reconsider the candidates for the coaching staff.

Hornets star guard Isiah Thomas also pulled back on his promise to join the Dream Team following Sampson's remarks.

"It has nothing to do with LittleLu," Thomas said. "I just don't want to go to Barcelona with a bunch of unfamiliar teammates, and the American team without Ralph, Larry, Tragic, Patrick and Benj doesn't deserve to be called the Dream. Team. I don't regret this decision because I quit a mediocre team."

Louie's longtime friend, Don Nelson, decides to help.

At this point, the only players on the Dream Team were Jordan, Barkley, and David Robinson~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Nelson did not publicly stand with Louie, and he criticized the actions of others who opted out and suspected that they had bad intentions: "I think they just want to take a good rest this summer, the stars who represent the U.S. team in Barcelona will be exhausted in the new season. If Ralph and they don't want to take their responsibility, I don't think other players need to participate, such as MJ , he won a gold medal for Team USA in 1984 like Patrick Ewing, let the stars who didn't play for the national team go."

Louie just made his attitude clear in front of the media, and even if he won the support of the world, even the league was moving around to make him the head coach of the Dream Team.

After so many stars dropped out of the Dream Team for Louie, the USA Basketball Association and the selection committee finally put Louie on the same level as Sampson.

Their response was a little too slow.

By the time they decided to give Lou the respect they deserved, the media had already scolded them, and the Dream Team was no longer sacred in the hearts of fans. Many stars who originally wanted to compete for the 12-man roster began to seriously consider whether this team is really worth it. They fought hard for it.
