The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 650: Emotional intelligence has been raised by Coach Lu

Chapter 650 Emotional intelligence was overtaken by Coach Lu

When Stern spoke, he briefly and politely summed up the various achievements of the league in the past year.

Such as ratings, such as audience interest, and big praise for the commercialization of the New York Knicks.

The Knicks' geography was on full display when they were strong.

Their product merchandise, sponsorships, and all kinds of income combined are more than twice that of the second-place Lakers.

"It doesn't make much sense if there is only one family alone, instead of making money together."

Nets general manager Harry Weltman poured cold water.

"No, it still makes sense." Stern ignored the dark tide in front of him, "This proves that when a team becomes stronger, their commercial value will increase rapidly, thereby attracting more fans, so that all The team benefits."

Stern has unquestionable numbers in his hands: "This past season, the Knicks have ranked first in the league in ratings per game, and half of the teams have attracted more fans after playing with them."

"As long as you continue to play great games, these fans will become true NBA fans, and then affect their children and the next generation, and we can have more generations of fans like the NFL."

Weltman stopped talking. As usual, Stern should summarize the various operations of each team after singing his praises.

The praise should be praised, the curse should be scolded.

It's a boring session, because Stern can't really yell, just encourage others to "do better next time" like a kindly elder.

The main event is the proposal part.

Louie has not prepared any proposals this year. He has been in the limelight enough in recent years, and he does not seek any policies that are beneficial to the Knicks and other teams in the short term.

First, Stern proposed a policy that would need to be voted on by all teams.

"In the past year, we have brought in many young referees, and many college league referees are very interested in working in the NBA." Stern's smile was so kind that everyone would support him, "So, after discussions with the league committee, We hope that starting next season, the number of referees per game will be increased from two to three, what do you think?"

The incident sparked a collective discussion on the spot.

With more referees, the added financial pressure on the league is that they need to hire more referees to keep three referees per game.

It can be harmful or beneficial to the game.

The downside is that the third referee can see corners that the two referees can't see, and the frequency of whistle blowing increases.

This will affect the flow of the game, there will be more dead balls, and it will bring a lot of uncertainty to the game.

The good side is to make the game more formal, so that those who like to play black hands can no longer easily use the blind spots of the two referees to make moves.

Many people glanced at Louis.

Because the Knicks' style of play is notorious under the publicity of many media.

For Louis, such slander had long been accustomed to.

"I support." Louis stood up and spoke, "Although adding referees will bring variables, it can ensure the fairness of the game and prevent individual players from using dead corners to make black hands and black feet. For those highly professional teams They don't need to use that, so it's a very good policy and I'm going to support it."

Lewis Shafir, who was hiding in the annual meeting, saw his support and immediately followed up: "I also support it."

Volcker looked at Auerbach, who nodded slightly.

"We have no opinion."

For some, this may be a targeted policy.

In fact, it's not the Knicks who will be hurt.

The Knicks are frightening, not dirty.

While Rodman's elbow to dismantle Bird is famous, it's not a common occurrence.

Kevin McHale is notorious for Bird's clothesline, and that's one way the Knicks are being pushed.

When they do anything they can, they don't **** with you.

They'll attack you like McHale's clothesline, the elbow that made the bird fall.

If you simply think that the Knicks only rely on this method to establish an advantage, it is a child's opinion.

Those scenes are the explosions when the Knicks are pushed to the extreme. It is the most extreme phenomenon. The most common Knicks are the team that loves confrontation and likes hand-to-hand combat. They are uncomfortable without knocking down their opponents in every positional battle. bandit team.

Louie brought a small rhythm, turned passive into active, and helped Stern pass the policy.

Then came the proposals of the teams.

Louis was as quiet as a virgin and did not move, and Stern looked at him unexpectedly.

He thought Louis would bring another unexpected proposal, but this year, he didn't plan to do that.

Until the end, Stern made a special trip to ask Louis: "Lu, do you have any plans for this year?"

"No, sir."

"All right."

If it wasn't for inquiring about Chicago, Louie might have asked Baylor to attend the convention instead of him.

After the annual meeting, it is customary for everyone to have a meal together.

Louie moved away from Jane Walker, who missed him and reminisce, and came to Lewis Shafir.

"Coach Lu, I admire you for taking the lead in agreeing to the league's policy." Shafir apparently felt that the policy was not good for the Knicks.

Hornets general manager Gene Littles laughed: "Who doesn't know the road coach is a loyal guy? He won't make it difficult for the president."

"Long live for understanding." Louis asked with a smile, "Is there anyone in this position?"

"Please take a seat, Coach Lu."

On this table are Heat general manager Shafir, Hornets general manager Littles, and Bullets general manager Bob Ferry.

Afterwards, Jerry West asked for a chair and sat down.

"Jerry, why do you follow me wherever I go?" Louie teased, "You can't get rid of it!"

West said lightly: "Everyone knows that there is meat to eat with Coach Lu."

"That's not right, what kind of virtue can I do? All of you here are my seniors..."

Shafir asked tentatively, "Coach Lu, what do you think of this year's draft?"

Louie gave Bob Ferry a special look, "I see Larry Bird in Danny Ferry."

Louie deftly defuses Shafir's question, making Ferry comfortable again. Because this year's top three favorites, the first Bird II Danny Ferry in history is his son.

"Really?" Shafir asked uncertainly.

Louie smiled and winked: "Of course, if I have the No. 1 pick, I'll pick him."

The first pick in the first round in 1989 was in the hands of the Miami Heat.

Outrageously, their record is not in the bottom five.

The Heat got a very comprehensive lineup this year with the excellent operation in last year's draft, and only one star player is missing to lead this group to take off.

If the league wants to get bigger promotion, it needs the Heat to become a strong team.

As a resort in Miami, there are not many die-hard fans, but there are definitely many people who are willing to go to the scene to watch the game. If there is a good team there, just selling the team's peripherals and player jerseys can make a lot of money. .

So, that's probably why the Heat got this year's No. 1 pick.

Louis winked at Shafir, wanting to tell him "we will discuss this matter in private", but Shafir hummed suspiciously.

Bob Ferry smiled modestly: "Coach Lu, can you talk about Danny's shortcomings from the perspective of a coach?"

To be honest, if it were another occasion, and the object was not the client's father, Louis would be ruthless.

But now, since he has chosen to take the route of high emotional intelligence, he has to be high to the end.

"He's really the most Larry-like player I've seen in years, and if I'm going to say it, Danny has only one problem."

Shafir looked more anxious than the client's father: "What is it?"

Louie winked at him again: "He's a lot like Larry, but he's not Larry after all."

After finishing, he added: "Larry should be his template, but he doesn't have to look like Larry in everything. The best way is to be himself and be the one and only Danny Ferry."

Ferry was delighted by what Louis said, and nodded happily: "I will definitely tell him what you said, it is very important to him."

West believed that the joy on Ferry's face was not fake.

If Louie complimented his child like that, he'd be overjoyed.

You must know that the opponent is the best coach in the NBA. He has a sharp eye for drafting, and the players who can be seen by him are not ordinary.

"By the way, I have something I want to ask you all. If it involves the agreement between you and other teams, you can leave it unanswered. If you have no interest and know some news, please let me know."

West can see through Louis's thoughts at a glance~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Road, you want to ask the tricks behind the expansion draft, right? ' West laughed.

"The reason I don't like Jerry is that he understands me too well." Louie teased the LOGO man and said frankly, "I was prepared to lose Ronnie Sekali in advance, and I also made up with Orlando. deal, but Minnesota's first choice messed up my whole plan."

Hornets general manager Littles said: "I heard there is a relationship with Chicago."

Another heard?

Louie really wanted to go back to Baylor and ask, what happened to his source?

Even a newcomer like Littles has a source in Chicago, but he doesn't?

Ferry confirmed the authenticity of the news.

"I have an old friend who works in the draft department of the Bulls. He told me that the Bulls and the Timberwolves have some agreements, and there will be trades between the two sides." "If the news is true, within a week, we will see results."
