The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 677 golden age
,!
In December 1989, Louie sat in his office at the Blue Palace in New York idly watching tapes and pretending not to know that this was the last month of the 1980s and he could have had a more meaningful life.
On Thanksgiving last month, there was an unexpected power outage in New York, and their family was chased outside and intercepted. Lorraine was asked to sign by a hundred people—well, not that many, but in order to truly restore the situation, it must be exaggerated.
Regardless of whether Louis admits it or not, even in the wealthy areas of Manhattan, he and his family are local celebrities, and many rich wives want to ask for a season ticket with a better location for the man in the family.
One or two, Louis can still handle it, but it will not work if there are too many people.
There are only so many good positions, and it is too late to leave them for the stars. Where can there be more surplus for them?
It was a bad Turkey Day anyway, and Louie decided to keep a low profile in December.
With nothing to do right now, he's sitting in his office trying to watch The Cosbys for the millionth time.
If you were a TV viewer in the 10s, even if you didn't watch American dramas very much, you probably heard of the most famous ones.
Like Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad.
In the 1980s, even those who did not watch TV had heard of at least three TV series, and the time period must be clearly divided into the first half and the second half of the 1980s.
The first half was ruled by "Big Family" and "Great Family". Since 1985, "The Cosby Family" sat on the Iron Throne and started the reign of the first five consecutive annual ratings. .
This is a phenomenon-level sitcom. Unlike previous comedies, this TV show's depiction of a successful and stable black family breaks the racial stereotypes that white people think of and shows the life of an upper-class black family, bringing the audience The new experience revived NBC's flagging ratings.
However, Louis couldn't see it no matter what.
He has tried many episodes.
To Louie, the show was disgusting because it was ultimately about black families as they were seen by white people.
In many places, there is a disgusting perspective like the casting of "Shang-Chi".
Say the main character is a doctor and his wife is a lawyer in New York City - even though these two are bound to make six figures a year anyway - six figures in the 80s!
But they are still extremely stingy, and they can take advantage of all kinds of advantages. The middle-class family lives in more poverty than the Gallagher family in "Shameless".
There's also a nasty scene where the protagonist engages in an in-depth discussion with his son-in-law about his daughter's sexual experiences, as if worried about what might happen if his son-in-law pushes too hard in bed. If Louis was that son-in-law, he would have told this father-in-law, who looked like a thief, to shut up and mind his own business.
In another episode, the protagonist jokingly informs everyone that he has put a drug in the grill that will make people feel high. The more Louis looked at the black protagonist, the angrier he became. Although people can't be judged by their appearance, this face looks less and less like a good product.
All of the above are disgusting points that Louis remembered when he couldn't watch, distracted, and skipped episodes. He tried to watch "The Cosby Family" again today and failed.
[To tell the truth, I have been using Mimi to read and update books recently, switch sources, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】
1989 is coming to an end, and he is destined to miss out on this TV series that dominated the second half of the 1980s.
To Louie, it was just a mediocre show that portrayed a black family living the American Dream the way white people like it. White people love it because it's novel enough to throw a bone at black folks who have few other options - Louie is pretty sure Asians in America won't have a problem with the casting of Shang-Chi - the problem is the show portrays A story that didn't reflect anyone's real life, Louis thought, and the only reason it reigned supreme for five years might really be because of novelty.
Just like if the "Little Times Trilogy" was released in China in the 1980s, the box office would not be low.
Louie gave up trying and threw the tape of "The Cosbys" in the trash.
If he doesn't watch it so many times and still feels sick and bored, it means that this TV series is not suitable for him. Since it is not suitable, of course I have to delete it from my life like those Japanese action movies with serious PS.
Louis came to the training ground, today's training is as usual, hosted by Tomjanovich.
Tomjanovich's coaching ability has not yet been seen, but the quality of his training is definitely second to none.
For so many years, Louis' team can maintain a strong combat effectiveness, which is inseparable from Tomjanovich's training.
"Patrick, have you watched The Cosbys?" Luitt wanted to discuss the show with black people.
Ewing put his hands on his hips, tired like an exhausted dog: "I see, I don't like it."
"Oh why?"
"I don't like the actor's face full of peach blossoms."
It seems that Louis has the same view of the hero as Ewing, and they both think that Bill Cosby is like a prostitute.
It took about 2014 for the fact that Cosby was a prostitute to be confirmed. It was revealed that he had violated more than 60 women, but the most exciting thing was the defense that his colleagues said for him, so I won’t go into details here.
Louis has a lot of feelings about the end of the 1980s, but before that day, the Knicks need to finish the Christmas game first.
Their opponent in the Christmas game is the Portland Trail Blazers.
This is the second time they have played against each other this season. In the opener, they beat the Blazers, and there was no Ewing at the time.
In the past two months, the battle between the east and the west has been fierce.
This year is indeed a rare year of competition.
The competition in the West is especially fierce. The Blazers currently have 16 wins and 8 losses, ranking fifth in the West.
The Knicks are thriving in the East, but in terms of record, they are not as strong as last year.
At this time, they are 21 wins and 3 losses, ranking first in the league.
As strong as the Lakers, they lost 5 games because of the fierce competition in the West.
The game between the Knicks and the Trail Blazers can be described as highly anticipated. One side is the most popular/hostile team, and the other side has the most dazzling star in the league.
The failure of the opening game was attributed to the lack of utilization of Jordan's personal ability by the Trail Blazers' coaching staff.
In this battle, Rick Pitino hugged Jordan's thigh tightly, hoping to use his personal ability to change the entire battle situation.
The Knicks and the Blazers, one is a rotation defense, and the other is a switch defense. With the two characteristics at odds, it is destined that there will be many heads-up games between them.
There is no problem in heads-up, as long as you pay attention to your position, don't make the space too congested, find a good dislocation, make good use of your own tactical advantages, and use off-ball tactics to mobilize role players.
The Blazers want Jordan, Drexler, and Rick Schmitz to play singles whenever they have a chance.
For the Knicks, it is impossible for Louie to give the players so much freedom.
His requirement is to play advantageous dislocations as much as possible, such as Wilson playing Terry Porter in the low post, Wilson playing Nance/Schmitz face-to-face, McHale playing Jordan, Stockton playing Porter is also a natural dislocation, Ewing plays anyone in the low post (as long as he is not double-teamed), etc., unless there is not much time to attack, otherwise, if there is a dislocation, he will play a dislocation. Don't force yourself to increase the difficulty of attacking.
The Knicks' tactics are in place, and the Blazers have done a few things well while making good use of their core offensive firepower.
Nance's cut, the glider's takeover after Jordan went off the court, and Porter's amazing three-pointer.
But the most incredible thing is still Jordan. His dominant offense was brought to the extreme in this game.
With 50 points in the game, under the Knicks' meat grinder-like defense, he made countless undefined shots. That kind of ball is not a good opportunity, or even a bad shot, he can hit that kind of ball, so he doesn't care how his teammates stand, or even who his teammates are or who his opponent is.
During that time, Wilson wanted to play against him, but his stability did not reach Jordan's level tonight.
Jordan played the offense to the extreme and was fatal in the fourth quarter.
In this way, the Knicks lost the Christmas game and ended the regular season game with the Trail Blazers.
Between them, one win and one loss.
The Blazers used a tough game to prove that they can play against the Knicks at a high level.
Even with Pitino as the coach, the Blazers are still a huge threat.
Because Jordan is already the strongest active player without a crown.
It was the Knicks' fifth loss of the season.
They have two more games to play before saying goodbye to 1989 and welcoming the 1990s.
A game against the New Army Magic, it was a complete victory without pressure.
In another game against the fourth-ranked dark horse Heat in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks spent three quarters establishing their advantage. In the fourth quarter, Ewing made a furious dunk on Hank Geithers' head.
The Knicks ended 1989 with a two-game winning streak.
On December 31st, the last night of the 80s, Louie and Lorraine were out on a date.
He specially arranged a romantic date location, just him and Lorraine, with a sky full of stars on the back, and the night was charming.
Louie wants to go into the 90s with Lorraine.
He doesn't want to think about other irrelevant things, but his thoughts are a long river, guiding him to go back and forth in his mind~www.mtlnovel.com~ The era was a wonderful decade for him, and he will never forget it a period of time.
His career was on the right track, rising all the way in the summer of 1983, and finally reached its peak in June of 1984. After coming to New York for five and a half years, it was also ups and downs. Now he is the best in the professional basketball world Coach, he's hungry for more.
In this impressive decade, there are still many things worth remembering, the president was almost assassinated by the fan circle in full view, the death of John Lennon, the popularity of , the lows and highs of professional basketball, the explosion of the Challenger , Coca-Cola's stupid change of formula, Michael Tyson's brutal KO of Spinks, which laid the foundation for him as Tomjanovich's lifelong enemy, the fall of the Berlin Wall...
Too many things happened, and these things were chewed through by him and blended into his blood.
Is there something waiting for him in the 90s?
Is the story that awaits him exciting enough?
He doesn't know, but he's looking forward to it.
In the new year, Lorraine kissed Louis on the lips, and they ushered in a new era with the sweetest moment.
