The Rest, Only Noise - v2 Chapter 1242
October 30
San Antonio, Texas
For fans, the main image of the Holy City is the gtp of Duncan’s era and the street full of fat people in Barkley’s mouth.
But for Louie, after so many years in the United States, he has a whole new feeling.
The city’s policing is poor, and the streets are filled with Latino gangsters—and it’s not for nothing that Grand Theft Auto has a generation that set its game home in the Holy City.
Hot, very hot.
If Los Angeles is the comfortably warm climate, then San Antonio is like a stove
Next is traffic.
It’s hard to imagine that such a traffic jam in a city can compare to Los Angeles.
Due to traffic jams, Louie was delayed for an hour on the road after he dropped his son to training camp.
After that, the Lakers went to the training hall for the final practice before the game.
Most of the people were very motivated, except for Barkley who still looked nerveless.
I saw him riding a sports bike and holding an oversized “Nuo Nuo Qi Qi Big Doughnut” in his mouth.
It’s the most famous doughnut near the training gym and one of Barkley’s favorites.
“Why do you eat donuts while stepping on this?” Kobe asked in the interest of caring for the elderly, “Can you come over for ‘busy’?”
Buckley snorted: “High school boy, do you know what it means to combine work and rest? You training freak doesn’t understand my happiness at all!”
Wilson, not far away, is stretching with the help of trainer Gary Vitti.
Hearing Barkley’s speech against the sky, Wilson couldn’t help sneering: “Little Bean, I advise you to stay away from that person. He has only this chance, and you still have a future.”
Unexpectedly, if Wilson was so clear, Kobe had to think about it, and then decided to stay away from Barkley.
This **** off Sir Charles enough.
“Bastard Benjamin, you ruin my prestige in front of high school kids like this, how can I teach him a lesson in the future?” Barkley yelled.
As benj played with the balance ball, he said, “You don’t have the right to teach anyone. Eat your doughnuts, Chuck.”
The craziest guy on the training ground is Garnett.
Garnett, now, has developed a trait that Louis is familiar with.
He is learning to pour his usual excess of energy and energy onto the court.
So he spews a lot of trash talk and jumps around like a madman.
There are also disadvantages to doing so.
For example, when Kobe dunked on his head, Garnett couldn’t help roaring: “Bean, next time you try to dunk on my head, I’ll pull you off!”
For another example, when Ben Wallace applied his hard work to Garnett, the situation reversed.
Garnett finds that he can’t beat Big Ben by strength alone.
This so-called 6-foot-9, who may actually be only 6-foot-6 inside Pudding, has a strength that even he can’t match.
“Jasmine, just with your current strength, it’s still a long way to become an All-Star.”
What the Lakers need most is a veteran who likes to undermine the enthusiasm of newcomers.
This year everyone’s attention is focused on Kobe, Garnett is under a lot less pressure, but as long as he has a tendency to emerge, the old birds will still hit him hard.
Louie had a regular meeting with the coaching staff.
For them, there are a lot of people on the Spurs who are predictable, except for Allen Iverson, the super-draft’s No. 1 overall pick.
“Although Allen Iverson only has the size of a point guard, he is actually an aggressive second position…” Zhao Yuanzheng said, “Maybe the Spurs will let him move to the one position or a combination guard. He’s going in the right direction, but to be honest, we don’t have a player in the squad that’s right for him.”
Nelson mentioned one: “How about jd (Joe Dumars)?”
This is the only possible counterpoint.
“Although JD is getting older, his experience and defensive skills have not deteriorated. With the help of benj and kg, we should be able to limit Iverson.
(This chapter is not over!)

It’s a matchup defense.
But to guard against Iverson, it’s not enough just to consider the position.
It is also necessary to start with Iverson’s shooting habits and shooting hot spots.
But the Lakers are not a team that focuses on defense, and Louie can’t arrange everything like he did in the Knicks. He can only set a general direction, and then discuss the other members of the Spurs with the assistants.
After a while, Jerry Bass, the assistant to the president who was with the team, walked in.
Little Bass is not obliged to follow the team to the away game, he is voluntary.
“Sir, Allen Iverson of the Spurs invited Kobe to dinner,” Bass reported.
Louie asked, “What did Kobe say?”
“He said he was going to practice…
Nelson laughed: “That’s the kid’s style.”
Louie is curious, how did Iverson know Kobe?
The truth is, they don’t know each other.
The rookies who grew up in the aau era have a characteristic, that is, they deeply understand the truth that “you can’t go wrong with a lot of friends”.
This phenomenon will intensify in the next generation.
Iverson didn’t know Kobe, but that didn’t stop him from taking the initiative to say hello to Kobe.
It’s a pity that Kobe didn’t appreciate it at all.
When the Lakers arrived at the Alamo Dome, the home of the Spurs, there were already a lot of fans.
The Alamo Dome is not a normal basketball hall at all. Its capacity and venue area are based on the standard of nfl games. It is too large as a basketball venue.
Moreover, it is basically impossible for fans to fill the arena.
Louie met Greg ***wich for the first time as a coach.
“Coach Lu, I hope we can bring a wonderful game tonight.”
Louis looked at Vicky and said lightly, “I hope.”
You might think Louie is a little arrogant, but that’s how a rookie coach should be treated by a godfather with a stellar career in professional basketball.
***Vitch is 11 years older than Louie, but he’s just a rookie coach.
Louis entered the industry in 1978 and taught in 1983. No matter how you look at it, he is a senior of *** Vitch.
However, the game did not go ahead as scheduled.
Just as the players on both sides were shooting to warm up, the water pipe system above the aisle of the stadium ruptured, and it rained directly in the stadium.
Many fans were forced to adjust their seats and games were repeatedly postponed.
“As expected of the Spurs, it always surprises me.” Louis said jokingly.
Bird said: “It’s a bad start, does that mean we’re not going to have a better season?”
“Hillbilly, shut your crow’s mouth!”
The Lakers’ opener against the Spurs was delayed by 50 minutes due to a series of effects from a ruptured water pipe.
It also disrupted a series of arrangements for television broadcasts.
When everything was back to normal, there was a general sense of boredom on both sides.
“Okay, dump the negative emotions in my mind!” Louis said, “If we take the championship as our first goal, we shouldn’t be affected by anything. Tonight is our first game of the new season. In the official game, we must win it steadily!”
Benjamin Wilson said solemnly after Louie’s training: “I don’t want to see someone slack off on the court and give me 100% energy!”
“one, to, three!!!”
“lakers!!!”
On the Lakers side, the starting five are Joe Dumars, Dale Ellis, Benjamin Wilson, Charles Barkley, and Kevin Garnett.
The Spurs’ @starter is Allen Iverson, Byron Russell, Jamal Mashburn, Antonio McDyess, David Robinson.
Looking at the inside line alone, the Spurs’ talent and athleticism are still above the Lakers.
Garnett came up and greeted McDyess: “Anton (nickname), are you ready to die?”
McDyess isn’t a trash talker, so he doesn’t bother Garnett.
I saw Ivor (this chapter is not over!)

Sen shouted: “Mike, that guy can’t beat you at all, wait for him to blow up!”
“What? What did you say? Look down on buddy, don’t you?!” Garnett yelled.
Before it even started, the two sides had already started talking trash.
Bird frowned and said, “Trash talk before the game~www.mtlnovel.com~ That’s right…but can these Gen Xers learn something better?”
“I didn’t expect the quality of children who went to college to be so poor. Bean has another reason for “why don’t I go to college”!” Louis teased.
Then, the opening jump ball was won by the Spurs.
David Robinson threw the racket to Iverson.
Iverson tried to break fast, but the rhythm and speed were slowed down by the old-fashioned Dumars’ physical confrontation in advance.
The Spurs were forced into positional warfare.
“Pull away! Pull away!” Iverson said arrogantly, “I can handle this old thing alone!”
So, the Spurs teammates made room for Iverson.
Subsequently, Iverson started the first ball singles in his NBA career.
He dribbled the ball to his left hand, and then used a move that Louis has seen countless times in the collection, and has been imitated again and again by latecomers, but few people can achieve the same effect.
Obviously his movement tendencies and technical details are very good at judging offensive intentions, but Dumars was still ruthlessly passed over.
Iverson collects the ball, shoots, swoosh!
“This Allen Iverson is amazing.”
In front of Kobe Bryant, Louis teased.
Tomorrow take a half leave (one more)
