The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 884: Barcelona

After the match is over, players can freely allocate their time.

Some are willing to go outside, so they go outside, and some want to go back to the hotel, so they go back to the hotel.

Another part will stay in the arena to shoot, and then go after a certain number.

Wilson is the only one who will stay in the arena. Usually, he can be seen full of enthusiasm for training, but today, he is very depressed.

Jordan picked up a glass of Gatorade, walked outside, and suddenly sang: "SometimesIdream~" (Sometimes I Dream)

This is a commercial song that Gatorade produced for Jordan when he signed him.

Louie believes that the song's contemporary impact is incalculable.

Whether or not Jordan is a winner right now, everyone loves him.

The child wants to be a trapeze, and longs to be like Jordan.

Wilson stood in the damp arena, covered in sweat, with a towel draped over himself, watching the blue team sing along with Jordan.

"Like Mike~"

(like Mike)

"~!"

(if I were Mike)

Louie left him alone for a few minutes before walking over.

This game allows Wilson to see his own inadequacies.

He is younger than Jordan.

He can see something through this game.

That is, if he doesn't play for the Knicks, but for the Lakers or the Celtics, his team can't beat the Blazers.

It's because he's in the Knicks, playing for Louie, and playing the right kind of basketball that he can make up the hard-power gap between himself and Jordan.

"If Larry hadn't been hurt, you would have won," Louis comforted.

"I'm not making excuses, coach," Wilson said frankly. "I lost to Michael."

"But you beat him in the league," Louie said.

"Yes."

"Why do you think you could win?"

"Because I have a better team and a better coach."

"No, the Blazers were actually a better team than us. Did you forget? We had an injury and the rotation was stretched, and they could even use the full force in the last half of the fourth quarter. The game is pressing." Louie still felt hairy when he remembered that game, "Even if it was me, at that time, I can only pray that you persevere."

Wilson seriously recalled that Louie was right.

The Blazers were the better team in that series.

So why did they win?

Jordan averaged 40+ points per game in the series and 53 points in a single game in the finals. He was definitely the most dazzling star in that round of the series. Whether it was a team or an individual, the Blazers were the stronger side.

"Thinking about it..." Wilson smiled wryly, "I really don't know how we won."

"Simply, I made no mistakes," Louie said confidently. "Dennis grabbed all the rebounds, Patrick wanted to win more than he did today, his defense was dominant, Alex, Sean . . . .All the teammates who came on the court had only one goal, you did your own thing, and then, it was your miraculous five three-pointers. At that time, you didn't pay attention to individual duels as much as you do today, you believed in your teammates , and then surrendered all that he had."

"In the end you won."

Louis looked at Wilson and taught like a mentor.

"This is the secret of the finals. The stronger team and the strongest individual may not win, but selfless dedication, hard work defense and accumulated rebounds, everyone is focused, trusting and respecting their teammates, Ultimately makes us an invincible force."

For the next few days, until the Dream Team left Monte Carlo, Wilson was in a delicate confrontation with Jordan.

Wilson was awakened by Louis, he knew where he was losing.

But knowing how to lose is one thing, accepting that you lost is another.

He is a man who does not accept failure.

The atmosphere on the Dream Team was unprecedented, and no one could relax any longer, but the coaching staff would love to see them compete in secret.

When the Dream Team left Monte Carlo for Barcelona, ​​Luiz made an impromptu decision.

He wants to invite all the students of Luyuan University who are studying in the United States to go to Barcelona to watch the game together.

The cost, of course, was paid for by Louis himself.

Hearing this news, Yu Tiancan, Hu Weidong and Wang Mukong all proposed to share part of the cost.

Louie just let them take care of their own affairs, after all, he is the sponsor of these children, and the league has nothing to say about it.

If Yu Tiancan and the others provided the money, even if it was only a part of it, the nature would change.

Stern is now sensitive to what people in the professional world have contact with people in the basketball world.

The money cannot be considered small, but it is only a drop in the bucket for Louis.

In New York for many years, not only enjoys the best football market, but also has the best investment opportunities and the largest contacts.

Money has long been an external thing to him, it is a number, and it will be numb if you see it too much, it is better to spend it.

What's more, this cost is only a drop in the bucket for him.

When the Dream Team came down from the airport, the scene was even more chaotic than the battlefield in the opening ten minutes of "Saving Private Ryan". Hundreds of journalists rushed through the security cordon with cameras in hand.

Back in the US, those journalist jerks were bastards, anyway, there were rules.

European journalists have no rules at all, and Louis saw multiple journalists fall and then be ruthlessly stepped on by their peers.

He just hoped that there would be no fatalities at the scene.

For safety, USA Basketball arranged the hotel where the Dream Team stayed near the U.S. embassy.

When Louis got off the bus and was about to enter the hotel, he realized firsthand how powerful the Dream Team was.

He just waved to the crowd and made the front page the next day.

There were crowds of onlookers around the hotel, no one knew what they wanted to do, maybe just to take a look at these stars? Fortunately, the hotel's security measures are quite strict, and there are policemen with guns everywhere.

In addition to the local police, snipers are ambushed around the hotel to take charge of the perimeter security.

Helicopter patrols constantly fly over the hotel.

This level of security is not available to other athletes, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Dream Team is Barcelona's number one protection.

Before the start of the Olympic Games, if there is a warm-up match, Louis will invite the Chinese team to join the dream team.

This, of course, is a small stove for his compatriots.

Due to the influence of Louis, there were three more Yu Tiancan, Song Tao and Wang Mukong in the 1992 National Basketball Team.

In addition to Hu Weidong, this Chinese team has four active NBA players, which is the team with the most active NBA players in the Olympic Games except the Dream Team.

Aside from practice and games, Dream Team players spend most of their time in full-service hotels.

The resounding name has become the shackles on their bodies, and only at certain times, the tragic master will make up his mind and go outside for a while.

Louie is the only one of the main members of the Dream Team who can travel normally.

He's famous in America, but in Barcelona, ​​he's just an ordinary Asian.

Louis would go out every day, mainly to meet the international students of the Road Academy.

Except for those who can't come, there are 52 students from Luyuan College who came to Barcelona this time. They are like a super large tour group, escorted by professionals, and supported by Louis funds. Some older children who have gone to university , will help take care of younger siblings.

Although Louie allows them to watch any game, they are only interested in basketball.

This is also the original intention of Louis to invite them to Barcelona.

There are countless children around the world who have their own basketball dreams after watching the dream team's performance and climb to the top. Perhaps, some of them will complete similar stories.

Before the game, Heat owner Mickey Arison invited the Dream Team to be a guest on his yacht in Barcelona.

This made everyone on the dream team excited. Because they couldn't go out, the hotel had become a high-level prison. They were too eager to go out~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Arison showed everyone the difference between the rich and the super rich.

It is not uncommon to have yachts. As long as they are willing to pay, Jordan, Tragic, and Wilson can have their own yachts.

But Arison owns a mega yacht, and when they found out that the yacht's air conditioning system was faulty, they sent a spare yacht over.

"He actually has a spare yacht...I feel like I'm a **** **** in front of Arison!"

It's such a snobbish world that even Sir Charles has an inferiority complex.

And when it comes to game day, the Dream Team first has to hold a press conference.

More than 1,000 reporters crowded the scene. When Louis led the players into the venue, the audience gave warm applause and applause.

All, including Louie, were staffed with a publicist who responded to reporters' questions.

To the surprise of the Dream Team, foreign media didn't think they were invincible.

Because the myth of Team USA's invincibility has been shattered.

Even if they're strong, people don't think All-Stars can work together.

In this regard, Louie was amused: "We didn't give up our vacation to come here to lose. We will show the Olympic spirit like other athletes. When the game starts, you will know what it means."

There were Brazilian journalists who spoke of the 1987 Pan American Games victory over the U.S. team.

To this end, Ewing sarcastically said: "If we lose to the Brazilians here, we will not go back to the United States."

Then another reporter asked Jordan something unrelated to the Dream Team.

"I heard that Portland is actively working on getting Lithuanian center Adavis Sabonis to the NBA. What do you think about this?"
