When Louis returned to the hotel, he closed his eyes and was not sleepy.

Because all he could think about was the series.

The top priority now is, how to continue this drama?

Falling behind 2-3 was not as disappointing as being behind the Celtics 1-3, but it was also the most unfavorable situation the Knicks had encountered in the playoffs since 1988.

Regardless of whether Ewing can stand up and become the leader of everyone as Louis thought, now has reached the stage where Louis must intervene.

He has to be hysterical like he was after Game 4 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals.

But so far, he has no motive to behave like that.

Because on the surface, the Knicks' losing game doesn't have much flaws.

Louis agrees with the outsiders' view that the Knicks don't have much room for adjustment.

But looking back at the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals, didn't the Knicks use all their means to be beaten 1-3 by the Celtics?

There is really no room for tactical adjustment.

But there is room for improvement in the players' motivation, execution and chemical reactions.

Louis tossed and turned on the bed and found that there was a clear difference between this time and the time in 1988.

He didn't choose this method on purpose in 1988, but he was forced to do so by those bastards in Boston.

The so-called dog jumping over the wall is like this.

If I have to make an analogy, this time is more similar to the 1983-84 season, when he reorganized the Celtics.

After all, he had just debuted at that time, he was young and energetic, and he boasted a lot about Auerbach. In addition, with Bird and Sampson as two basic players, he could naturally PUA Thomas without any worries.

This is the first time that we are both passive (the subsequent development is not under our control) and active (by our own choice).

The reason why Louis can't sleep is that this kind of active choice makes him lose the anger that ignited the whole team in 1988.

He couldn't just stand aside and watch. If he wanted to light the explosive barrel, he would need one of his firecrackers.

So what now? He's not angry at all.

Louis thought about it and found only one way.

Since it was getting late, he first had to let himself fall asleep. This method required the cooperation of others, and it had to be someone who knew him well.

Louis lay in bed alone until four o'clock in the morning before falling asleep, and then woke up automatically at eight o'clock.

I obviously didn't sleep enough at all, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

He yawned and walked to the bathroom to wash up.

Through the mirror, he saw what he looked like now.

His hair is disheveled, his beard is growing longer, and his eyes are no longer sharp.

"Pop!"

Louis took a hand of cold water and patted his cheek.

He shaved off the beard on his face and looked at his face again. Although the eight-year battle with his belly always resulted in wins and losses, he maintained his basic posture and did not let the fat army further plunder the territory, thus keeping this place.

Zhang asked him to achieve the feat of killing a hundred people within half a year after time travel.

"I'll change my hairstyle to a younger one. People will believe me when I say I'm 18."

Someone is talking to himself.

The moment he walked out of the bathroom, Louis was much more awake and he called home.

The person who answered the phone was Li Xuanbing.

"Mom, is Lorraine at home?"

"It's been almost a week since I left home. Isn't it rare that I can find a wife just by calling home?"

"Mom, I've been too busy with work recently, and I really haven't cared about you much. I will make up for it when the season is over. Can you call Lorraine for me first?"

"I know, you are thinking about your wife."

Finally, Lorraine answered the phone.

Judging from the speed with which she answered the phone, she should be next to Li Xuanbing.

As soon as Lorraine said "Hey", Louis took the lead: "Listen, dear, don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next."

"Baby, you know I'm an accomplished actor, so no matter what you say, I won't be afraid."

"I'll go home later. When I get home, you're going to do everything you can to make me angry, do you understand?"

"Make you angry?"

Lorraine had never heard such a strange request from Louis.

She also thought that Louis was making some kind of secret code, so she misunderstood the meaning. Since her mother-in-law was around, she said a little shyly: "Do you want me to wear that?"

"It's not that kind of anger, it means you make me angry, Marlena, it means making me angry in the literal sense, but don't worry, I won't really lose my temper with you, you just need to make me angry.

!”

After Lorraine hung up the phone, her brows furrowed tightly.

Li Xuanbing was even more surprised: "What did that kid say to you? He was grinning and frowning at the same time."

Lorraine said in confusion: "He asked me to make him angry."

"Then why are you laughing?"

"I thought he was kidding me."

Obviously Lorraine didn't know him as well as Louis thought. At least, Lorraine had no clue about making Louis angry.

An ordinary civil flight takes five hours from Portland to New York. The Knicks took a special plane that departed at nine in the morning and arrived before twelve o'clock.

Not only did Louis get home early, he also had lunch.

As a result, Louis was greatly disappointed. Lorraine not only did not make him angry, but also asked him about his welfare, trying to get him out of the shadow of defeat.

The problem is that he doesn't have any special shadow at all.

"Marlena, are all of you in Italy the ones who make people angry?"

Louis deliberately spoke Mandarin with a weird accent.

Lorraine has basically mastered spoken Mandarin over the years⑴. Except for her heavy accent, communication is basically no problem.

"Aren't you used to it?" Lorraine also spoke in Mandarin.

"No, I'm very used to it. In fact, apart from not making me angry, I'm basically satisfied with your performance."

Louis gave up. It was indeed a strange thing to let his wife make him angry.

This time of year is when Louie’s family is most together.

Both children are on summer vacation. In order to be able to spend time with them during the holidays, Lorraine rarely takes any roles during these two months.

Except for Wang Zhizhi, who went to compete in other places, everyone was there.

After lunch, Louis decided to chat with the two children at home.

But before he intervenes in the brother and sister's conversation, he first needs to be a listener.

This topic was brought up by Lu Wuxia.

"You know, Patrick Ewing's son is so cool."

Lu Wuyan: Huh?

"He kept the family's dog and cat in the refrigerator."

Louis was confused. What does this have to do with being cool? From the description, does Ewing's son seem to be a little devil who likes to torture animals?

Lu Wuyan: なんだって? ("What did you say" in Japanese), kitten? How did you know?

"I went to his house yesterday and saw it with my own eyes."

Lu Wuyan: How did you see it?

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Lu Wuyan: He actually put dead dogs and cats in the refrigerator?

"They're not dead, they're alive. I played with them yesterday."

Lu Wuyan suddenly became excited: "バカヤロウ, the lowest one (spitting fragrance), he actually shuts the living animals in the refrigerator? How can this be done?"

"no"

When Louis heard this, he left silently.

He had three thoughts.

The child's world is innocent, and he, a guy polluted by colorful thoughts, should not get involved in it.

It’s time to limit the frequency of my daughter’s watching island country animations. This mouth speaks Japanese at the level of Osaka. What kind of trouble are you trying to make?
