On January 1, 1995, the Dolan family, which owns 50% of Madison Square Garden Entertainment, officially took over the garden and all its businesses.
This of course also includes the Knicks, the most popular industry under the Gardens.
The person in charge said that the Dolan family will not interfere with the Knicks' team planning. In order to pay tribute to the achievements of the team under the leadership of the former president Louie, from now on, there will be no more people in the basketball operations department of the Garden. assume the position of President.
This rhetoric is beautiful, but there are obvious loopholes.
Why did Louie have to give up the title of president when he joined Los Angeles?
Because this is theoretically the highest decision maker within a department.
It's not that no one can interfere with the CEO, but if the CEO wants to implement his decision to the end, the people above will either agree or replace him.
As long as the president is still there, there is no decision within the department that can override the power of the president.
The Knicks do not set up a president, and the highest power is vacuum, so the final decision-making power will naturally belong to the decision-makers of the garden.
However, this is also a more pragmatic consideration.
Because there are not many people who can assume the position of Knicks president, but no one knows whether the decision makers of the garden will make the right decisions in the future.
As a rule of thumb, when a franchise changes, do something good to be happy.
A common practice for sports teams is to retire someone's jersey.
That's exactly what the Knicks will do next.
After veteran captain Kevin McHale retired, he was invited into management by his hometown team, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
In terms of qualifications and honors, McHale is definitely enough to retire his jersey, but the decision makers of the Garden believe that McHale's jersey retirement ceremony can be slowed down.
Because someone who has a priority above all else needs to retire the jersey.
This person is none other than Louie who has gone to Los Angeles.
The jerseys of retired coaches are nothing new. Although they cannot play, there are many coaches who have made outstanding contributions to the team in NBA history. They have all had their jerseys retired by the team in various forms.
Although Louie only spent ten years in New York, he brought seven championships to the team, a resume that is comparable to Reed Auerbach's dominant 50-60s, considering the competitiveness of the 80s and 90s. shoulder to shoulder.
When someone from the Garden contacted Louie and said that he wanted to retire his jersey the next time the Lakers visited the Garden, Louis felt like a lifetime away.
"It's my pleasure."
Louis simply agreed.
Then it was the Knicks' turn to have a headache.
What number do you want to give Louis to retire?
Generally, coaches retired jerseys will use the number of wins they lead the team to win during their coaching period.
Louie coached the Knicks for nine seasons, winning 562 regular season games and 101 playoff games.
Retired 562 or 101?
Otherwise, let's go back together?
Louie didn't care what New York had to do with his jersey retirement ceremony.
After confirming that the Knicks were going to retire his jersey, Louie looked at the schedule (February 2), notified his wife, and went to work on other things.
Louis is still perfecting his theory.
If he wants to build the most perfect offensive team he can dream of, it's not going to be done just by stacking the lineup.
Louie recalls pre-small-ball teams.
In Louie's memory, or in other words, among the many teams that he has seen before crossing, the most smooth offensive end is undoubtedly the Spurs in the 2014 finals.
The Spurs that year were called by some the greatest team basketball of all time.
Although Louis didn't know how the Blazers, who played seven games with the Mavericks in the first round and abused their styles in the semifinals, how the classic car that passed the game against the Thunder in the Western Finals beat the Heat in the finals and became the first in history. Group, but since some people say yes, so be it.
It is undeniable that the 14 Spurs were in full shape in the finals, and their offense was smooth.
Louie believes that Kerr's obsession with passing is the kind of game he wants to see on the Warriors.
However, if Kerr's hand was given to Popovich, would Pop still play the pass-and-cut?
Louie recalled the Spurs, the fluid offense he had seen with Doug Moe's Nuggets.
In 1990, the Nuggets fired Lao Mo, and Louis brought him to New York as an offensive coach so far.
The Knicks' offensive style has indeed changed since then.
Mo and Louie's ideas are a match made in heaven.
Louis suddenly felt that it was necessary to dig Lao Mo from New York.
This idea was quickly dismissed by him.
Just like when he went to New York, he didn't dig the Celtics' corner, and now he comes to Los Angeles, and he won't dig the New York's corner.
Lorraine was excited to hear that the Knicks were going to retire Louie's jersey, but she was a little embarrassed when she heard that the day of retiring the jersey was February 2.
She happened to be auditioning for Independence Day that day.
Monica Bellucci, who has established her status as the queen of comedy through several classic comedy films and the legendary sitcom "Happy Family", is not satisfied with this, she hopes that there will be more breakthrough.
So she took over "Scream" last year, and also actively fought for a role in "Independence Day".
These two scenes are both familiar movies to Louis. He didn't expect Lorraine to break through himself, but would it be effective for comedians to act in horror movies?
As for "Independence Day", although the cast has not yet been determined, it was picked by Fox as soon as the script came out, and he invested a lot of money. Hollywood's first-line coffee can break his head in order to get the role in it.
Lorraine is self-aware, she just wanted to put her name on the cast of Independence Day.
Louis gave Lorraine a proposition: "Marlene, who do you choose for the opportunity to appear in "Independence Day" and to attend your husband's important events?"
Lorraine wanted to squeeze out a tear, but her acting was so bad.
"It looks like I can only be in the garden with a broken heart on February 2."
"But I want you to come with a smile." Louie touched the tip of his wife's nose teasingly, "so I'll call Roland Damn Emmerich and admit in good conscience that Stargate (Stargate 1994) is a classic and asks his forgiveness."
Louie may have been a hindrance to Lorraine getting the Independence Day role.
Because he had a relationship with Emmerich last year. He was feeling lost about his future at the time, and then MSG executives invited him to the premiere of Stargate. When he goes, he should relax. But he was in a bad mood at the time, and he wasn't a fan of science fiction himself, so it was difficult for him to make constructive comments on the film.
Good-looking is good-looking, bad-looking is not good-looking.
But he is a person with high emotional intelligence, so Louis said to the people around him after reading it at the time: "It's so old-fashioned that I'm about to fall asleep."
Unfortunately, a film critic was also present at the time. He wrote Louis’s words into the film review, and was willing to swear with his own life that everything in the article was true.
But in fact, without "Stargate", Louie also knows Emmerich, because this person's "Godzilla" filmed a few years later is even more heavyweight.
He made the king of monsters who couldn't kill even a black hole and spit beams into a scum that was killed by a few missiles.
As a result, things went more smoothly than Louis had imagined.
Since Louie's review didn't affect the film's box office, Emmerich wasn't one to take criticism.
The humility of the other party made Louis feel a little more ashamed.
After that, Louie successfully delayed Lorraine's audition for a few days, and everyone was happy.
Entering the new year, there have been several big events related and unrelated to Louie and "you think it's big, it's big, you think it's not big, it's not big".
The first was unrelated to Louie, and the Simpson case was officially opened in Los Angeles.
Even people like Jim Buss are concerned about Simpson's decision.
The second is that the Lakers' record has finally stabilized.
In the unanimous sound of the fans dismissing the get out of class, Zhao Yuanzheng wanted to understand a truth.
Like Louie said, he's not trying to solve problems, he's leading the team to win games.
Do fans care how you win? Maybe some people who understand football will care, but in this world, the majority of people who are unprofessional and like to join in the fun.
Professional opinions can easily be drowned out by the rabble of rabble.
Therefore, Zhao Yuanzheng opened up.
He gave up the long rotation that the coach of the Lu Department liked, and shortened the personnel rotation to 7-8 people, killing the main force, and the Lakers' record was on the right track.
The Lakers' number one licking dog, the Orange County Chronicle, couldn't wait to publish a long article in which they praised Zhao Yuanzheng's "progress".
"Coach Zhao in 1995 was as remarkable as 'Messiah' in 1984."
As of February, Wilson, Pippen, Robinson and others have all averaged 37 minutes per game.
The Lakers surpassed the Warriors and ranked second in the Western Conference.
If it weren't for the fact that there is a super-class behemoth in the East that is too amazing, the changes in the Lakers in January are completely worth a long article by "Sports Illustrated".
However, on February 1st, the Lakers challenged the Heat with 39 wins and 2 losses on the road.
In order to prevent the team from repeating the mistakes of the previous game, Zhao Yuanzheng used a 6-player rotation to fill the entire court.
Wilson had a season-high 59 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists next season. Pippen also had a comprehensive 22 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. Robinson scored 25 points and 14 rebounds, which was comparable to Sampson.
The Big Three combined scored 106 points, 35 rebounds and 20 assists, but the Lakers lost the game by 13 points.
Also, it's hard for the Lakers to say whose performance they lost.
Billy Donovan played Louis's unique skill - a 13-person rotation in front of his senior brother Zhao Yuanzheng with ease.
Even a water dispenser like Wang Mukong played for 5 minutes and scored 6 points.
The Heat's starter, the highest scorer was Drexler, who was named the best of the game with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists.
But in fact, Sampson and Manning, who scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 blocks, are eligible to be the best tonight.
But that doesn't matter because their strong secret is that the MVPs take turns, and it's the gliders tonight.
"This team is as abominable as the 1986 Celtics!"
West watched the game in Louie's office.
"We don't have any chance to beat them at all!"
"Poor Benj was so beaten up by Miami people that he had to go to New York for back-to-back fights the next day." Louie looked in the mirror, "Jerry, what do you think of me?"
West is not in the mood to comment on what Louis is wearing for the jersey retirement ceremony tomorrow. He closes his eyes and wants to enter a state of meditation where all four are empty.
Too bad he can't.
As soon as I close my eyes, I can't help replaying tonight's game, wondering if it's possible to do better somewhere to win.
The conclusion is impossible.
If there is anything wrong with Zhao Yuanzheng's command~www.mtlnovel.com~ it is that he likes to use six-player rotation to improve his strength.
But Donovan didn't care at all, and directly crushed the Lakers with a 13-man rotation.
If a team shortens the rotation in order to increase the intensity, and is also beaten by the opponent with the theoretical longest rotation, it can only explain one thing.
The two are not on the same level, they are several grades apart.
West feels more desperate than when he lost to the Celtics in 1986.
And Louis is still in the mood to try on clothes?
