The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 218 End of March Madness
Bird also did a stupid thing when getting off the taxi.
He attempted to use bribes to make the driver change his faith and convert to the Otori religion.
His solution worked, the problem was that the tip was too small.
To convert people verbally, at least double the fare, right?
The money Bird gave, even the tip was not much, only 1/10 of the fare...
"Do you think I'm begging, idiot!" The driver scolded Bird and drove away.
Louis looked at the taxi away and said to Bird: "If he is smart enough, tell the media about this, the benefits will definitely be far greater than the alms you give him."
"What kind of alms?" Bird, like Louis, is a cheapskate who is very cautious about money. "That's a tip!"
Louis smiled and said: "Generally speaking, supporting you verbally and opposing you in your heart is the easiest thing for a person like him, but he doesn't even want to do this gesture, he can only say that you gave it. The money is a little short, so it's a alms, not a tip, no wonder he's so angry."
"I didn't have to give a cent more!" Bird said confidently.
Louie clapped his hands and mocked Larry Bird, a small financial expert.
Bird strode into the hotel angrily.
Louie followed up and said, "If you wake up tomorrow and still don't feel well, you can skip training."
"You take me for a sissy?"
"I'm not..."
"If you can't get better after a cramp and wake up, what is it?"
"...No, hillbilly, the driver offended you, but I didn't offend you? Don't come at me if you are angry." Louis said innocently, "I support you."
First of all, Louie called him a hillbilly.
Then he actually licked his face and said "I didn't offend you"? Even the team doctor felt dizzy when he heard this.
There is only one person in the Celtics who trouble Bird all day long, and this person doesn't even know it.
Bird was so angry that he couldn't speak, he strode forward, and he couldn't see the cramp in his thigh.
Louis saw anger in his aggressive steps.
He asked inexplicably, "Is there something wrong with this man?"
The team doctor shook his head and sighed. The daily interaction between the two was like a "Pride and Prejudice" without love.
The trip to the west that lasted for half a month is over, and the Celtics are happy to return to the home court.
Louis faced another conundrum in his life.
Lorraine's stomach has bulged slightly, although it is not obvious, but sooner or later, it will not be able to contain it.
He chose the right moment to confess to his mother.
When Li Xuanbing heard that Lorraine was pregnant, she had an unpredictable expression on her face: "I just said, sooner or later, you will fall into the hands of this little fox!"
Li Xuanbing was not surprised by this result, which surprised Louis. The problem is that it took several months for him to confess to his mother.
This made her old man unacceptable: "Okay! When you grow up and have hard wings, you can tell me nothing, right?"
It was useless to explain, the only thing Louis had to do was to apologize, and then follow her instructions to bring Lorraine from the apartment to the house.
This is another difference between Li Xuanbing and Lorraine.
The older generation sees pregnant women as more fragile than crystal glass, so they can't touch it, they can't touch it, for fear of the fetal gas.
Lorraine has the obvious imprint of a Western woman. She gives birth today and can go to work with her baby next week. Moreover, she is used to living in her own apartment.
Things didn't work out, it was Louis who worked hard.
As long as others are in Boston, they have to work three shifts.
Go home, go to work at the Greek Academy, go to Lorraine's apartment.
The NCAA is in full swing, and the Celtics have had their ups and downs in March.
Doesn't seem to be recovering from a tiring trip.
They were beaten again by the Philadelphia 76ers, the only team to beat the Celtics twice this season.
Few teams are as athletic as the Celtics, with a stronger defense and a clear offensive rebounding advantage.
As far as the style of play is concerned, the 76ers are a bit restrained by the Celtics.
The Celtics are the most defensive rebounding team, and the 76ers are the most offensive rebounding team.
But Louis never regarded the 76ers as an obstacle to rushing out of the East.
All the games he lost, he lost in predictable circumstances.
Sometimes, as soon as the game starts, Louie sees how bad the team is and feels that the game is not easy to win.
In games that give him this feeling, the Celtics have only a 50 percent win rate.
Sometimes, he loses his will to win.
Losing is also one of the ways to decompress for the Celtics.
Because winning all the time comes with a burden, and losing a game is equivalent to throwing away the burden of winning streak and starting again. Their strength is still there, and their record is still very dominant. The problem is their mental health.
Louie wants everyone to travel light.
Against the 76ers, the two sides went shopping for two overtimes.
Billy Cunningham is crazy and generally defensive intensity, Moses Malone and Dr. J, two core players, have not rested since the fourth quarter, playing the last quarter and two overtimes.
Unlike Cunningham, Louie will pay attention to control the playing time of players.
This is also the Celtics for most of the season. Although they have experienced some minor injuries and minor illnesses, they have never experienced major injuries.
Under the fighting spirit of the two leaders and the coaching staff, the 76ers played a defensive pressure and intensity that no other club in the league can achieve.
Finally let the Celtics misfire in the second overtime.
Boston murderer Andrew Toney came out of the sheath and scored 7 points in a row to help them seal the victory.
At the end of the game, Cunningham said: "It's a testimony to courage, the Celtics are dominant, but not the strongest."
"I can't wait to play the next game," Louie said lightly.
The next opponent for the Celtics is the poor Washington Bullets.
The Bullets knew that the Celtics didn't want to lose on a losing streak, and that loss to the 76ers still got them on fire.
They knew what was coming to them, but couldn't stop it.
The Celtics scored 140 points on the Bullets, a 50-point bloodbath, and the New Jersey Nets, who were going to play against them next, shivered.
They went on an unresolved winning streak.
The winning streak ends on March 31 against the Bucks.
Another team that likes to fight hard and win from the Celtics.
The regular season is coming to an end, and the Celtics are leading the record tally. No matter how many people are dissatisfied with Louis, they have to admit his ability.
Currently, the Celtics are ranked first in the league with a record of 67 wins and 8 losses.
There are seven games left until the end of the season. Not only do they have a chance to set the best regular-season record in Celtics history, but they also have a chance to set a new regular-season win record, something Bill Fitch has never reached.
A rookie coach, under the condition of roughly the same staff, leads a team that only won 50+ games last season and ran to the regular season record. No matter what his reputation is, he is making history.
Sports Illustrated reached out to the Celtics again, and they knew the franchise was about to make history, so they wanted their writers to follow them to road games for the record. Wait until the end of the regular season to write a long article to commemorate the Celtics' regular season journey.
Louie is a must-have figure to write about the Celtics' regular season, so this is another piece that will get him a lot of space.
Sports Illustrated is the most professional sports magazine today.
Their articles have been circulated by countless fans, there are two personal feature articles in one season, and they also appear as villains or important characters in many articles, which has a significant publicity effect on Louis's popularity among fans.
Then, the league ushered in a multi-day offseason.
Because the NCAA's March Madness has come to an end, on April 2, the national finals will be held in Seattle.
This year's finals attracted much attention. Two centers destined to be great, each led their teams to the finals.
University of Houston vs Georgetown University
Olajuwon and Ewing, it is impossible for anyone who pays attention to basketball who has not heard their names.
Almost every NBA team sent people to the scene to watch the game. com has some bad teams that are sure to get the top five picks, and even the general manager and the head coach go there personally.
That day, Auerbach happened to be going back to Washington to visit his family and watch the game by the way, and Louis took a ride.
Although he has a rough idea of what Olajuwon and Ewing will achieve in the future, he is still interested in this epic showdown.
This is the most exciting college basketball game since the mythical battle between Magic and Bird.
A freak never seen before at center, and a Bill Russell hailed as a bigger, full-on attack.
This game really shouldn't be missed.
Louie went with the idea of seeing Ewing and Olajuwon on the spot, because they will enter the league in the next two years.
It is necessary to know their situation in advance.
