The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1526 They should communicate about their condition
Latest URL: The much-anticipated 2003 NCAA National Finals did not go as the fans expected, giving way to a pair of young geniuses Lu Wuxia and Carmelo Anthony to play a legendary matchup worthy of being famous in the history of college basketball.
On the night of the game, Memphis double-teamed Anthony because Anthony didn't look like a player who could find the open man. As a result, Anthony proved that he didn't want to, but he didn't want to. With 20 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, he was comprehensive enough, but he couldn't stand up when the team needed to be strong.
Lu Wuxia was limited by his hand feel and Syracuse University's physical confrontation tactics. He didn't find the offensive feeling all night, but he handed in a full score in the organization and connection, scoring 16 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists. There were 2 turnovers.
Strictly speaking, Anthony's performance in the final may have been better, because he turned his weakness into a strength, while Flawless just kept his basic set. The problem is, Memphis has a stronger lineup, and if Anthony doesn't overplay, it's going to be hard for Syracuse to win.
In the end, although Xuecheng tried his best to restrain Lu Wuxia's personal attack, he couldn't prevent Lin Ziye.
Lin Ziye has become a surprise player of the Tigers. He is misplaced when he hits anyone. He is sure whether he is attacking with the ball or eating cakes. He scored a game-high 29 points and 7 rebounds to help the University of Memphis win the first championship in team history.
Although his performance in the finals was not as impressive as in the semi-finals, Lu Wuxia still won the mop trophy.
After the game, the reporter asked whether Lu Wuxia would participate in this year's NBA draft.
"Why not?" Lu Wuxia answered all the discussions about his future with one sentence.
Seeing Anthony sitting on the sidelines with wet eyes, Louis still felt something in his heart.
In the previous life, the 2003 NCAA championship may have been the best achievement Anthony achieved as a basketball player leading the team alone. Now, this achievement has been taken away by his son.
And just like that, Louie's college hoops fandom time was over. Flawless is determined to participate in this year's draft. For the Celtics who lack an absolute core player, he seems to be the most suitable candidate.
Louis will focus on this year's lottery draw, followed by the next season's coach.
Louis has considered coming back, but he doesn't know if his current state is suitable for coaching.
He doesn't have that desire to coach.
Even if the choice is flawless, Louis will not change his mind all of a sudden. Because coaching flawlessly is a very difficult thing in itself, he cannot be a good father and a good coach at the same time.
In late April, the nba regular season ends.
The Boston Celtics are fifth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 48 wins and 34 losses, and they will meet the Knicks in the first round.
"That's why Insaiah Thomas has to get off!"
Fans don't expect the Celtics to win the championship at this stage, they just hope that the team can go further, but if they have to play against teams in the championship group every time in the first round, then naturally there is no chance of winning.
Thomas, who has actually passed the resignation application, can finally ignore the criticism from the outside world and concentrate on preparing for the playoffs.
This is his final time with the Celtics.
Louis spent a lot of energy selecting a new coach, but there was no satisfactory candidate.
Before the start of the playoffs, Louie attended the gm summit in New York.
Louie met Rudy Tomjanovich at the meeting.
According to the normal development, Rudy should be affected by cancer at this moment, leave the coaching position, and then gradually fade out. Louie was no longer his partner, but he still came to New York often. He knew that Rudy's body was a hidden danger, so he had regular physical examinations with Rudy since the year before last.
At the end of last year, cancer was found in Rudy's body. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the situation was completely controllable. He himself recovered quickly after receiving treatment.
Now Rudy is full of energy and healthy, and it will not be a problem to continue working on the front line for more than ten years.
"You look more like a cancer patient than I do," Rudy joked about Louie.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I'm in good health!" Lu Yi said gloomily, "Yin Saiya quit, and I'm worrying about the coaching candidate now, do you have any recommendations?"
Rudy smiled and said, "I think you are quite suitable."
"Hmph, I think it's morning." Louie said flatly, "Rudy, when you start to feel irritated by the long season, you can try to switch to management work, as long as you have sat in the office for a while. There's really no point in being a coach."
What could Rudy say to this scumbag?
Coaching may not be interesting to him, so it’s no wonder that he made his debut at the age of 18, picked up the coach in 23 years, and then coached for ten consecutive years (only counting the period from Boston to New York), and the results will not be mentioned. He's justified in being tired of coaching.
Rudy has been coaching for ten years after counting the time, but he doesn't find coaching boring at all.
Come to think of it, maybe it was because he didn't win enough.
Louie won't be able to wear the ring on both hands, of course he will get tired of it.
"If you really want a coach, I have someone," Rudy said. "Tom Thibodeau, you remember?"
Thibodeau was the general who Louis personally prepared for Rudy, how could he not remember?
"certainly."
"Tom is definitely capable of being the head coach. He has been by my side for so many years, but he is actually a talent. His contract expires this summer. If you are interested, you can contact him." Rudy said, "In terms of calculation, he is also yours. It has been brought out, so many years, whether it is ability or word-of-mouth, it is obvious to all, and there are many teams that want to recruit him."
Aside from his liking for rough and rough players, Thibodeau is indeed a good coach.
But his coaching philosophy is incompatible with the Celtics.
"I believe Tom is capable, but it's not suitable for us." Louie said bluntly, "I don't intend to turn the Celtics into a Knicks-style defensive team."
"There is nothing wrong with defense. You see, you have been here for so many years. The players who accompanied you to build the dynasty are old and walk, but we still stand tall. This is the reason for defense. You played more than ten years ago. With that foundation, it’s now the Knicks’ team culture, and every Knicks player is proud of it.”
Louis smiled, and Rudy was complimenting him in a very veiled way.
"Don't talk about defense anymore, how can any of you defend now?"
Louis is also true.
The Knicks' defense has quietly changed. After Ewing retired, the Knicks' core team did not have a commendable defensive champion except for Hill. They can continue to stay in the championship group, relying on offensive talent.
Tracy McGrady + Webber + Miller is enough to destroy the defense of most teams.
Louie chatted with Rudy, and the GM summit hosted by Vice President Garcia Lynn also came to a successful conclusion.
The content of the meeting mainly revolved around two points, whether the legalization of joint defense and the restrictions on HC defense should be further improved.
The former will significantly affect the low-post offensive inside core and the penetrating ball-handler who lacks shooting ability, while the latter further liberates the penetrating ball-handler and the dexterous guard who is most affected by hc.
Such contradictory proposals made Louis at a loss as to what to say.
Because of the Lakers dynasty, their style of play has caused problems in the direction of the league's rule changes.
They hope that all teams play like the Lakers, with both offense and defense, and a game with a balanced offense and defense is the best game to watch.
But since ancient times, there have been no rules to make the game even.
Either focus on the inside and focus on the outside, or focus on the inside and focus on the outside, or focus on offense or defense. After all, the Lakers can play like that, relying on an unsolvable lineup, and other teams do not have the corresponding conditions and configurations.
After the summit, Louis invited half of the team management personnel who participated in the summit to have a dinner.
These people are either allies of Louis, or have cooperated with Louis, or have received help from Louis. They occupy half of the alliance, and this force is enough to have a decisive impact on any plan of the alliance.
Louis had nothing to do with them except to keep in touch, just to have a meal.
But this kind of thing is unusual in the eyes of the league.
In Stern's view, this is the energy Louie possesses.
As long as Louis is still there, any new policy introduced by the alliance will be difficult to pass without greeting Louis. That's unacceptable to the league, but there's nothing they can do about it because it's the result of Louie's 25 years in business.
"Coach Lu, I heard that you are looking for Yin Saiya's successor?"
Suns coach Frank Johnson asked.
Johnson is an NBA player. After retiring, he worked as an assistant coach for Billy Donovan for many years. Although he didn't have much contact with Louie, he was also a member of the Lu family.
"Do you have any recommendations?" Louis asked with a smile.
"It's not really a recommendation either, because I'm not sure it's a good fit."
"But it doesn't matter."
"I hear Pat Riley has been recuperating in New York since he retired..."
76ers general manager Brad Lowhouse was taken aback, "Pat Larry? I heard he's crazy, Frank, how can you recommend this guy?"
Louis looked at Rudy Tomjanovich.
Rudy nodded and said: "There are indeed rumors that Coach Laili has gone crazy, but as far as I know, he is not crazy, but a little depressed. He has been treated by a psychiatrist for a long time, and his condition is not bad, that is..."
depression? Lowhouse thought, isn't that crazy?
Louis asked, "What is it?"
"I also heard people say..." Rudy said ~www.mtlnovel.com~ I heard that Coach Laili often saw that he led the Lakers to defeat the Celtics and Knicks in the 1980s when he closed his eyes , won four championships... But when he opened his eyes, he became the biggest loser in the history of sports. This gap made him emotionally close to collapse. "
It's not really crazy, is it?
Louie suddenly felt a little guilty.
Pat Lailly, one of the more glorious people at the time, Louis can't forget his demeanor after he was ordered to lead the Lakers to win the championship in 1982 and break doubts.
In reason and reason, he has to go and have a look.
"You don't really want to ask him to be the head coach, do you?" Rudy asked with wide eyes.
"No, I just think Coach Larry's situation is quite similar to Jerry West." Louie said, "They should communicate about their illness."
