Louie put down the phone.
In his office, Rudy Tomjanovich opened a bottle of Coke for him. "How's it going?"
"Hey, I just finished a bottle, can you give me a break?" Louis took the Coke.
Tomjanovich didn't care whether he was tired of it or not, he just wanted to know if it happened or not.
"How's it going?"
"Coach Mota is generous enough. He added an extra second-round pick to us on top of the original chip." Louis didn't expect that he was just trying to impress Mota, but he really increased the price.
Tomjanovich said excitedly: "Great! Now, we can get rid of Darnell and accumulate more future capital!"
"No, the second-round pick doesn't matter, what matters is Dale Ellis." Louie said affirmatively, "Coach Mota will regret this deal in the future."
Tomjanovich asked unexpectedly, "Is he that good?"
"Probably no worse than Darnell."
Louie's not sure, but Ellis struggled with the Mavericks, judging by the numbers.
But under Motta's system, it is not suitable for him to play as a three-point shooter.
Motta prefers a player who can handle the ball to his face and do damage, and he doesn't like a shooter who is scratching wildly from a distance.
Ellis, a rookie, shot 41 percent from 3-point range when he first entered the league last season. For Louie, it was like Emilia Clarke's acceptance of "Fifty Shades of Grey". The heroine is as shocking. But things backfired. She felt that she had taken off enough clothes in You Quan. After she became famous, she had to put on the clothes she took off one by one like Shu Qi.
It's really a pity, why don't American actresses keep up with Europe? People take off their clothes regardless of lows and peaks.
Speaking of Ellis, Louis did not know the specific achievements of this person.
He just looked at Ellis' data and found that this gentleman averaged 0.4 3-pointers per game in his rookie season and made 0.2 goals, plus the name was a little familiar.
Therefore, he was determined to trade this person.
When Mota put him in the trade, Louie's plan had been successful, and it was entirely because the other party was thinking too much.
The deal was negotiated, and Louis called Debusschere to tell him what had just happened.
Before Louis joined the Knicks, Webblin promised to give Louis enough room to operate on behalf of the top management, so he negotiated a deal himself, and then told Debusschere.
Debusschere is responsible for contacting the Mavericks in an official capacity to complete the deal.
In less than a day, the Knicks and Mavericks trade results were spread.
The Knicks traded Darnell Walker for Dale Ellis and a 1985 second-round pick from the Dallas Mavericks.
Bob Ryan, a reporter for the Boston Globe, who is a self-proclaimed NBA prosecutor, commented: "I don't know why Dallas sent an extra second round. This should have been an equivalent exchange business. They sent each other what they didn't need. Players, now, the Knicks are making a little bit more."
Hearing that he was traded, Walker went crazy.
He happily informed his family and friends, telling the media that he had been in a water prison for the past few months.
Dale Ellis didn't move. For him, it was just a change of environment.
The day after the Walker trade, the Knicks faced the Washington Bullets.
This is a game that embodies Louie's superb control skills.
The Knicks took the lead in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Louis put a three-line lineup on the court, and Truk Robinson played for the first time this season.
Bill Cartwright's nightmare seemed to linger over his head, and he acted so-so.
It was also the wonderful lineup of the three insiders that allowed the Bullets to catch up.
In the third quarter, with the performance of Bernard King, the Knicks were barely able to withstand the combined play of Jeff Malone and Gus Williams.
In the fourth quarter, Louis let King sit on the bench for half a quarter, and when he came on the court, the Knicks were already behind by double digits.
The King of New York gritted his teeth and led the team to chase, what was the result? He was knocked over by a fierce man on the Bullets bench with an elbow and carried off the field on a stretcher.
"Next time, you should protect yourself and strive for zero mistakes." Louis expressed concern about Jin's injury.
Jin Han hated: "You just don't want to win!"
"What, Lao Jin, can I not want to win?"
"Have a good rest, if these guys fight, maybe they will win the game for you."
As a result, Louis Orr and Trent Tucker were really competitive, they scored three points in a row, allowing the Knicks to overtake.
The "scared" Louie changed their existing positions, one to control the ball and the other to play the 3rd position, so the storm of fighting for Bernard King subsided, and the Knicks lost to the Bullets by 1 point.
Louie happily held the hand of Bullets coach Gene Shu.
Here's another old coach who doesn't like Louie.
"You should be ashamed, littlelu!" Shu said coldly.
Louie didn't listen: "Salute to you who may make it to the playoffs!"
If the Knicks play every game like the Bullets, they have a chance of making the playoffs. But Louie doesn't want to command a team that "makes the playoffs and wins."
There are too many imprints of the past on this team, and he wants to change them one by one.
Stockton and Ellis are just the beginning.
After the game, some media asked Louis why he let King rest for so long.
Louie just explained it with his injury: "You also saw that the Washington people played savagely, and I just wanted to protect Bernard."
The reporter asked again: "Trent and Louis feel very good on the outside, why don't they arrange tactics for them in the chase stage."
Louie said that he was wronged: "The Bullets' defense is too good, they can't run out of opportunities."
The next day, they sent off Darnell Walker and Dale Ellis passed the Knicks' physical.
Ellis has a height of 2.01 meters and looks very sturdy torso. He is not as familiar as common black players, and has a more restrained personality.
On his first day on the team, Pat Cummings took a leave of absence due to a medical condition.
Louie reiterated what he said before the season: "On this team, only two people's positions are unshakable, one is Bernard, the other is Pat, the others are not fixed starters, whoever starts, It depends on performance and status.”
Next, he pointed out the newly added Ellis.
"Dale, I knew when you were in Dallas that you were a one-of-a-kind shooter. Coach Motta didn't take advantage of your talent, but with me, you will have a chance to prove yourself."
Ellis wonders, does that mean he won't play more than ten minutes per game?
The Knicks' next game is the New Jersey Nets.
Although New Jersey is not part of New York, it is part of the Greater New York area like New York City.
Fans in the two places are hostile to each other, and the game between the teams is also seen as a derby-like match full of anger.
Now the Nets are a playoff team, and the Knicks are a team competing for the top pick. Just like the Clippers, they will never be soft on the Lakers when compared to them, and the Nets are the same.
That night, Louis unexpectedly put the new Dale Ellis into the starting lineup, and let Louis Ortiz play as a power forward. The starting lineup has a sensational two forwards + three backs.
The tallest player on the field is Banken Bannister, followed by Orr, who plays power forward in a dislocation, and then the back three: Stockton, Tucker, and Ellis.
"I'm not sure if this lineup can break the iron net of New Jersey." Marv Albert has no confidence in the Knicks' fancy starter.
Louie winked at Phil Jackson before the game: "Are you all ready?"
"Get ready, surprise them if you win, and a consolation prize if you lose," Jackson said.
"I know I can trust you." Louie laughed.
Jackson said firmly: "You absolutely can."
"I think so too, 'Old Nick' is very reliable." Louis praised him.
Next, the game begins.
As the only rookie on the field, Stockton has the style of a general. He seems to intend to create opportunities for Tucker. He runs tactics many times. Pass, none of which is not comfortable, correct pass.
Tucker was the star of the night.
Knicks new aid Dale Ellis played explosive output on the outside.
He knows that Louie is a coach who can accept players to shoot three-pointers, and he knows that maybe the other side values his own three-pointers, so he nailed it on the three-point line tonight.
The Nets didn't study him before and didn't know how powerful he was, so Ellis made 5 of 7 three-pointers in a single game and scored 21 points.
In Dallas for more than a season, Ellis scored more than 20 points in only 3 games, and scored 20+ in his first game for the Knicks.
The Knicks' interior was blown to pieces, and the Nets grabbed 19 offensive boards, but they relied on the terrible firepower of the three guards and Stockton's 16 assists in a single game, 120-116 victory over the Nets.
Madison Garden fans showed a rare feeling of pride for the Knicks.
In the Knicks locker room, Jackson prepared a surprise birthday cake for the players at the behest of Louie.
Today is the birthday of Trent Tucker, who was also the Knicks' top scorer of the night.
The best performance of a season is the birthday present for him, the cake, which is the sublimation theme.
The Knicks are having a broken season, but there are still many things to remember.
The next day, Trent Tucker arrived at the Blue Palace full of energy to prepare for training, but was told by Tomjanovich to find him.
He was delighted to be in Louie's office ~www.mtlnovel.com~ for this young coach whom he admired and grateful for and wanted to play for him forever.
"Trent, did you rest well last night?"
"It couldn't be better, coach."
"That's good, I called you here because I have something to tell you." Louis said to Tucker, who was unprepared. "You were traded."
Tucker almost thought there was something wrong with his hearing.
There was a smile on Louis' serious face, but his words were unacceptably cold.
"For...why?"
"We desperately wanted to keep you, but...Trent, Los Angeles made an offer we couldn't refuse." Louie last night, and Louie now, was friendly, his smile conveyed the same emotion. "Maybe I should congratulate you, you have the opportunity to get out of the quagmire of New York and chase a championship with a group of great players."
