MTL - The Rest, Only Noise-v2 Chapter 1486 Not necessarily
Latest URL: People talk about heroic moments in sports a lot, but I think they should be talking about someone like Hymie who can tell you what true heroism is. "The U.S. government awarded Haimi the Silver Star after the war for his bravery. The strange thing is that this World War II veteran who left a deep impression on Louis always has a good understanding of astronomy and geography. No matter you talk to him Wilde had something to say about his absurd life, or the zipper of Chain Zong, but once he talked about his experience in the army, he became silent. "Those who promote heroism in war are often those who have never fought in war."
For the first time, Louis discovered that Haimi's tone of voice could be so soft.
"There are no heroes in war. It represents absolute suffering and disaster. Anyone who participates in a war, even if he is lucky enough to survive, will become another person. Whether he is healthy or not, whether he escapes with a fool who has fallen into the sea He was awarded the Silver Star Medal.
"I'm lucky, I survived, I can't tell you the name of the man I'm carrying, I don't know, I don't want to know, I was never a hero, the most heroic thing I did was to get out of the war survive,
Every Wednesday, Haimi also gathers with the veterans to talk about their children and grandchildren and TV shows, but they never recall the war or talk about heroism.
"Indeed, war is the worst."
Although it is strange to say this kind of opinion from the population of the United States who has waged the most war since World War II, Louis can only go along with it. Moreover, Haimi's words made the atmosphere of the lunch meeting plummet, and he had to say something to change the atmosphere .
"I think my most heroic moment was when I punched the referee in the ICU before the game started."
Louie came alive as soon as he opened his mouth about luncheon.
Paul Gaston said excitedly: "I'll tell you the truth, Coach, I was there.
Louis smiled complacently: "Have you seen my heroic appearance of punching the referee?
"Yes."
Guston recalled the event sixteen years ago and was still impressed.
However, things are certainly not as heroic as Louis said.
Gaston remembers Louie saying nothing at first until the irrational referee cornered him before he delivered a punch.
It can be said that that punch was the beginning of the name Louis breaking the circle from the basketball circle.
Since then, LittleLu has become a national celebrity.
Sportswriter John Feinstein was interested in the matter.
Because Louie boxing referee happened to be the same fight as Bird famously humiliated Dr. J.
"It's a long story..."
Long-term locker room speeches allowed Louis to tell his story as clearly as an orator. He always knows how to word and speak, and pays great attention to tone. When he should be emotional, he will never deliberately lower the volume.
Louie's story revitalized the luncheon.
The story of the luncheon will continue.
Auerbach didn't seem to have a story to share today, and then the conversation shifted to the increasingly vulnerable athletes of today's era.
A college coach complained: "Kids these days are too delicate to quit a game because of a slight cramp. You know, as an athlete, it is part of the spirit of sports to endure a certain degree of pain."
"I'm reminded of a story about Shaquille O'Neal." Feinstein laughed. "Someone questioned his professionalism because he delayed the minor surgery that could be solved in the offseason until the season, but he said , "My injury fell during the season, so naturally it has to be resolved during the season." Auerbach, who was smoking a cigar, coughed when he heard this.
"What nonsense!"
"David Stern has spoiled the players, and they're only going to get more and more vulnerable!" Auerbach said disapprovingly.
The age of entertainment is dead! "
Louie, who has always been opposed to players insisting on playing despite injuries, wants to ask: "What is the old-fashioned tough style?"
Hearing this, Haimi's eyes widened. He has always disliked Louis, because this guy who is obviously 40 years old but looks as tender as his early 20s constantly reminds him of the Japanese on the Pacific battlefield.
But when he wanted to contradict Louis, he was overwhelmed by the opponent's aura.
The self-confidence and calmness of Louis' words and deeds kept him from attacking for a long time.
This time, the opportunity finally came.
"Just like John Havlicek did in the 1973 Eastern Conference Finals, just like Bill Russell did in the 1958 Finals!"
What Havlicek did in the 1973 Eastern Conference Finals, Louie knew very well, torn his shoulder and then insisted on the game, and the Celtics narrowly lost in the end, it was indeed heroic.
What's wrong with Russell?
1958? Chamberlain hasn't entered the league yet, has he?
Louis couldn't help asking: "What happened to Russell that year?"
Haimi plausibly said: "The Celtics should have won ten consecutive championships. If Bill hadn't seriously sprained his ankle in the finals that year. At that time, this was a very serious injury. One mistake would affect the To the follow-up career, but Bill still decided to choose to come back in the sixth game. If it wasn't for Reed's strong opposition to control his playing time to less than 20 minutes, maybe Boston could play the seventh game with St. Louis , Bob Pettit can't score 50 points!"
"This is the toughness of old-school players. A soft bubble like Shaquille O'Neal will never win anything in his life!"
Louie said with a faint smile: "If I were the manager, Russell wouldn't even play 20 minutes after the injury.
Haimi glared at Louis unhappily, because he could feel that Louis had objections to Russell's way of playing with injuries.
"I mean, even if I could see into the future and know in advance that Russell could win the Finals that year by playing through pain, I wouldn't let him play another minute," Louie said of course, " I will not overdraw Russell's career for a short-term championship and risk ruining the next nine championships."
Haimi was angry: "You don't understand the spirit of competition at all, and you have never played before."
"Well, I admit it." Louie laughed, "but you also have to admit that you don't know how to coach.
"1958..." Auerbach said.
Speaking of the history of professional basketball, coupled with the hoarse voice of the old man, an inexplicable sense of weight came to his face, instantly extinguishing the small flame between Louis and Haimi.
"St. Louis was a very special team that year." Auerbach thought about it and changed his words. "No, they may be the most special team since 1958." Hemi muttered: " Of course they ended the Celtics' 10-peat."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Auerbach paused. "What makes them special is that they're the only NBA championship team in 42 years without a black player.
Auerbach's words jingled like a needle falling to the ground. The old man smiled dryly, "Hey, I guess there won't be another championship team without a black player until the game of basketball dies."
At that moment, Louis' heart was hit.
The reason why Louis can enjoy a peaceful life is that he can no longer find any goals in the professional basketball world.
And Auerbach's words made his heart beat fast.
He knows all the good non-black players of the next two decades.
He could build an NBA championship team with no black presence.
why not?
The St. Louis Eagles have been buried in the heap of history and no one cares about it. This great record and legend should be inherited by a more suitable person.
After the lunch meeting, everyone came to the parking lot together. Auerbach would say hello to the guests.
"I am leaving."
Every Tuesday, in addition to attending the luncheon, Auerbach also goes to the Woodrent Country Club in Lorenville, Maryland after the luncheon.
There he played golf and poker with members of the club.
Today, Louie made a point of going to his car window. Auerbach rolled down the car window, "Is something wrong?"
"Reed, are you saying that it is really impossible to have an NBA championship without black players?"
"Ask me this question? Don't you know how high the proportion of black players is?"
Louis smiled and said, "I know." "Then you still ask?"
"I just want to say that nothing is absolute, and even outrageous things can happen. For example, the white rich man named Donald who played golf with you a while ago, I said that he may become the president of the United States in the future. , do you believe it?" Auerbach felt that Louis was amusing himself, "It's funny, but I really don't have time to talk to you now, and, that idiot can never be the boss!"
Immediately, a smile appeared on Louis's face that made Auerbach's hair stand on end: "Not necessarily?"
After Auerbach left, he kept thinking about Louis' words on the road.
What does that guy mean? Is it possible that he really wants to organize an NBA championship team without blacks? This... is simply a fantasy!
As for whether the golden-haired white rich man who looked like a fool would have a chance to become the president of the United States in the future, Auerbach didn't even think about it, and he knew it was nonsense as soon as he heard it.
How **** is this?
Even if Louie started a dynasty in the NBA with a team that didn't have any blacks... this kind of thing happened ~www.novelbuddy.com~ That thing didn't happen.
Louis waved goodbye to Auerbach, turned around and saw Paul Gaston who hadn't left yet.
Gaston smiled and said, "Coach, let me take you to the airport." "Okay, then I'll give you a ride."
Louis is used to flattering Gaston, Auerbach's words made him want to come back, but he hasn't really figured out how to take the next step.
It's just that once a thought is activated, its development speed is absolutely beyond imagination.
Just like Louis had thought about buying a private jet before.
Thought is another name for desire. For most of the world, desire is difficult to satisfy, but once one has the ability to satisfy one's desire, then thought will often be transformed into a strong motivation and momentum, which will be all rational. end.
