All That’s Left Is Noise

I can't understand those who hate the drama of the national team. If this is football and the national football team is in a situation that cannot be saved, then that's it, but this is basketball! The protagonists of countless basketball novels play for their country. Is it such a treasonous thing to play for the country? Louis' current status is the number one coach in basketball history. If he wants to attack, he has the Lakers, and if he wants to defend, he has the Knicks. He is a legendary legend! How could such a coach not invite him to coach the men's basketball team? Since he was invited, how could Louis not consider it? Louis is not the Louis who was born and raised in the United States, he is the time traveler Louis who inherited his memories! In his previous life, he was an upright Chinese! What's more, he has already coached the US team. Think about how Lang Ping was criticized in real life when he led the US team to defeat the Chinese team. If the men's basketball team revealed that they had invited him, but Louis did not accept the news, who can imagine what kind of verbal and written criticism Louis would suffer?

I read it again when I had nothing to do, and I was filled with emotion, but you must not say that this is the best coaching article in my mind (of course I can refute it). From the Celtics to New York to Los Angeles and finally back to the Celtics, from little Lu to leader Lu to legend Lu to the final boss Lu, I felt the most comfortable, best and even touching. Come back and have a look when you have time

The old 99-00 Lakers are done

Mickey and Michael Jordan are undoubtedly the greatest uncrowned king in the time and space of noise. His career is undoubtedly a long-term tragedy, but the long-term tragedy cannot erase his contribution to the commercialization and standardization of professional basketball. The 1984 NBA Draft is undoubtedly one of the greatest drafts in NBA history. From a future perspective, Olajuwon, the No. 1 Pick at the time, is one of the most offensive short centers in history, and Barkley, the No. 1 Overall pick at the time, is also the most offensive short power forward. Mickey was ranked second among the two, not only because of Mr. Weinberg's discerning eye, but also because of Louis's unremitting recommendation. Mitch's rookie season was paired with second-year Drexler. The two shared the ball with each other and led the weak Trail Blazers into the Western Conference Finals. That year, Jordan averaged 29 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game, facing a healthy Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson and the Lakers in normal condition. Facing the strongest teams in the universe, Mitch used a tough attitude and lost six games, and then lost to the Lakers in consecutive G7 games in 1986 and 1987. The first peak of Mickey's career was in 1988. That year, the young Knicks eliminated the Celtics, which had the Big Three of Bird, Sampson and Thomas, in a bloody way. Mitch also eliminated the rebuilding Lakers in six games and entered the Finals. That year, Mitch was the regular season MVP, regular season DPOY, regular season scoring champion, and unparalleled in the limelight. In front of the Knicks, Mickey encountered the most difficult moment in his life. Due to Adelman's command errors, despite Mitch's heroic performance in the first two games, the Knicks won the first and second games with their lineup depth and Emperor Louis' on-the-spot command. At the beginning of the third game, the Knicks' second player Benj took the initiative to confront Mitch. Coupled with the physical confrontation of the Knicks team, he struggled in the third and fourth games, making him one of the few players in history to be swept in the finals. From that year onwards, Mickey encountered the first low point in his life. In the 1989 game against the Knicks, Jordan suffered a broken leg and was reimbursed for the season. As the core of the offense, Drexler played a performance comparable to the first team and was successfully selected for the first team. From that time on, the two men competed for the ball more and more fiercely. Eventually, the discord broke out off the court with an unintentional remark made by Jordan, which caused a greater effect. For three consecutive years in 1989, 1990, and 1991, the Trail Blazers lost three times in the face of the Lakers team that had completed reconstruction, with the Tragedy Division as the core, and the Admiral and Batman as the assistants. Rick Pitino's murderous press system that imitated Louis also proved to be ineffective without enough talent in the interior. For this reason, Paul Allen made an immediate decision and hired former Lakers head coach Pat Riley as the team's general manager and head coach at a high price. As a tragic figure among coaches, Pat Riley's coaching ability cannot be underestimated. In 1982, he led the nearly perfect Lakers to the top, but in 1983 they lost to the 76ers who failed to win the championship. In 1984, when the Celtics led by rookie coach Louis achieved a historic regular season record and swept the Lakers in the Finals, he began to study Louis deeply. As a head coach, Pat Riley's desire for control perfectly matches Mitch's desire to win. Under the operation of Pat Riley, the Trail Blazers acquired Bulls player Charles Barkley and acquired a number of outstanding wing players through operations. At this point, the Trail Blazers have the strength to win the championship, and Mickey has also ushered in the second peak of his career. Before the 1992 Finals, Mickey won the second regular season MVP trophy of his career. Before the game, Pat Riley predicted that Knicks center Patrick Ewing might have mental problems, and this prediction proved to be correct. Therefore, even though the Trail Blazers were not as strong as the Knicks in the paint, they tenaciously reached the tiebreaker with Mitch averaging 40 points per game and Barkley averaging 30 points per game. However, Benj, the recognized internal leader of the Knicks, GOAT candidate, and conqueror, was injured in the first half. He used his only foot to hit five consecutive three-pointers on the Trail Blazers. At the last moment, Mickey scored a three-pointer to tie the game in the same way. Faced with the fact that Benj's three-point ability and ability to find opportunities were better than his own, Mickey was deeply stimulated and in the next year he improved his three-point ability to a level that cannot be ignored. The operation of the Trail Blazers in the 1992 offseason, the operation of the Knicks in the 1985 and 1986 seasons, the operation of the Lakers in the 1987 and 88 seasons, and the operation of the Heat in the 1994 season are both masterpieces. That year, the Trail Blazers paid a huge sum of money to lure the former Soviet national team's main center Arvydas Sabonis from Lithuania, and signed and traded from the Hornets to the Celtics' former main point guard Isaiah Thomas. That year, more than half of the people believed that the Trail Blazers were the champions. The Knicks hit that argument hard. In the match against the Trail Blazers in March 1993, Louis responded to the situation and used a fake pick-and-roll to break the Verdun defense line that the Trail Blazers were proud of. After that, he used Benj's skills and physical fitness to defeat the Trail Blazers by a big score through roll call tactics. Entering the playoffs, the Trail Blazers swept their opponents all the way and advanced to the finals. After the opponent Knicks experienced an Eden time that was enough to destroy the team's chemical reaction, the whole team showed an obvious state of disintegration. Under this circumstance, the Trail Blazers fought hard, tied 2-2 in the first four games, and won the battle at Tianwangshan, leading the Knicks by 23 points in the first half of Game 6. The Knicks' conflict broke out, but in the locker room it turned into a huge motivation to defend glory and win the game. In the second half, due to Pat Riley's strategic mistakes, the Knicks used murderous press, roll call tactics and magic ball tactics to chase points. At the last moment, Reggie Miller pushed away Mitch's open three-pointer to win the game. At this point, the Knicks and Trail Blazers no longer had any reservations, and the game subsequently entered the world of professional sports. The 1993 Finals G7 became the highest-rated game in NBA history from the time it was broadcast live. Both sides are team basketball, both have the ultimate defense, both have the top five superstars in the league, and both compete in a basketball mecca. The winner will only have this crown for life and will be remembered in history, while the loser will never be able to make a comeback no matter what. Mitch believed in himself. He worked tirelessly on offense and defense time and time again, leading the Trail Blazers to lead the Knicks by 22 points at the end of the third quarter. However, with the concerted efforts of all his teammates, Benj staged the most classic and explosive scoring performance in the history of professional basketball. 45 Seconds before the end, Benj hit a three-pointer and scored 63 points. At this time, both the Knicks and Trail Blazers only had one timeout left. Mitch is determined to end the game himself. 28 Seconds before the end, Mitch escaped the defensive pull-up of Ewing and Kemp for a layup, but was pulled out of the perimeter by Dennis Rodman, who nailed the block with both hands. 4 Seconds before the end, Benj used a step back, successfully knocked down Jordan, and hit the winning three-pointer. Pat Riley made another strategic error, and the sideline ball was destroyed by Alex Stevens. At this point, the dust settled, the Knicks shattered the Trail Blazers' championship dream, and Mitch fell into the second low point of his career. Barkley's mentality exploded because he did not win the championship and was nailed to the pillar of shame. Starting in 1994, the conflict between Barkley and Pat Riley intensified. Jordan was not discouraged. Even though the overall strength of the team was declining, he still led the team to the finals three times. Unfortunately, they lost to the Knicks and Heat three times. With the introduction of the luxury tax policy in 1996, the super team fell apart, and the Blazers saw their best chance to win the championship since 1993. As of 1997, although Mickey's career has not included a championship, as far as his career is concerned, he has already explained what greatness is and what greatness requires. All the mistakes he made not only made him the well-deserved uncrowned king, but also made him the person most deserving of the crown after the tragedy master. However, will the Lakers led by Wilson really give Mitch a chance to turn things around?

When we look back at the 1980s and 1990s, we can see that the Lakers' quicksilver offense was twenty years earlier than Nash's Suns. We can see that Bird used his poor physical condition to pretend to be a b, and said lightly that I will kill you here. We can see that Olajuwon's dreamy footsteps are dazzling, and the other three centers are good at winning games, as well as Sampson, Mark Eaton, Mourning, Mutombo and other strange and fierce men. We can see the flying beast power forward style of Dominique Wilkins and Shawn Kemp. We can see Karl Malone's gnarled muscles and delicate mid-range shot, Rodman's no-nonsense temperament, and his god-like continuous take-off ability and bullet speed. We can see that Magic plays the point guard with the height of a power forward, while Barkley plays the power forward with the height of a point guard. We have seen that the Bad Boys will do whatever it takes to win, but they are tough on you and glare after a foul, instead of pushing them from behind, stepping on their feet, and then opening their hands to pretend to be innocent. It was a colorful era with hundreds of flowers blooming and distinctive personalities! When we look at the NBA today, what do we see? Giannis Antetokounmpo, who won the championship, was a stepping stone. And pad it repeatedly. Jokic, who won the MVP, is even slower than the old Divac who was the king back then. Supernovas Doncic and Trae Young are looking for fouls by jumping on others. Small card, load management. I rested more quickly than I played. Harden, exploring the gray area of ​​the rules between the step-back and the free throw line. Durant and Lillard are considered players with good reputations, right? He was beaten to disgrace in the Olympics. It's not that there are no good players, the veteran is still persisting, Booker has no black spots, Pickle can still show his brave firepower after being seriously injured, and Curry has indeed brought about a big change in basketball thinking. But such highlights seem a bit too few. When Melo at his peak - this offensive kaleidoscope player - was fighting tooth and nail with Kobe at the basket, and when Melo's current player waved his hand and the other player lay down and looked at the referee to commit a foul, you knew that the current NBA is increasingly lacking something. If today's fans have the opportunity to look back at the game videos from that year, even the highlights, they will be fascinated by the excitement of those years. And this book can take readers back to that unstained memory.

I really like Ai-chan. He is the kind of soft-hearted boy who blushes when his ears and face are touched. He cries and burps when he is slightly contradicted, and his eyes are watery. It's sweet, soft and fragrant. It makes you cry when you pinch it. It makes you burp when you cry. It will frighten those who are sensitive if you touch it lightly. It smells like milk all over. If you feel wronged, you will throw down the coquettish little milk bag in your boyfriend's arms.
