Springfield, Ohio, USA, is the hometown of James Naismith, the father of basketball.

The annual Hall of Fame event is held here.

This year, the Hall of Fame welcomed a "distinguished guest".

Although the Hall of Fame Committee stated that all those inducted into the Hall of Fame are people worthy of being remembered, but if even the NBA championship has to be divided into thirds, sixths and ninths as the narrative changes,

Of course, the inductees to the Hall of Fame must also be ranked according to their gold content.

In terms of players, the biggest player inducted into the Hall of Fame this year is Heat legend Clyde Drexler.

Glider was active in the 1980s and 1990s, but compared to others of his generation, he was not the most eye-catching.

Compared with those super giants who have made the Hall of Fame shine, the glider's star flavor is obviously not as good.

However, the coaching staff is enough to make up for this gap.

Legend Lu, the greatest trainer of all time, will be a member of the Hall of Fame this year.

After careful arrangements by relevant personnel, Louis was placed in the finale.

Following Louis was the late Maurice Stokes.

That day, the Naismith Museum of Fame was filled with superstars from the NBA.

Benjamin Wilson, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Ralph Sampson, Bill Russell, Magic, Jerry West, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Gareth

Nate, Tim Duncan... It's rare that a Hall of Fame event can gather so many "big names" at the same time.

Everyone knows that they are not here for the glider.

Therefore, the glider who was queuing up to speak in front of Louis also made a joke that amused the audience before starting: "I won't keep you waiting too long, otherwise Ralph may rush on the stage and drive me off."

The most impressive part of Glider's speech was the part where he talked about himself and Jordan.

Back then, Glider and Jordan were known as the two stars of the Trail Blazers, and they were the core players who helped the team revive. However, Jordan's strong rise blocked Glider's edge. If Jordan hadn't been injured in the 1988-89 season, Glider would have had the opportunity to stand alone.

, the world has no idea that he is also a superstar-level player.

Later, the Trail Blazers chose the former between Jordan and the Glider.

This is the most unpleasant thing about gliders.

"To this day, I still won't say that I am better than Michael, but..." All the flat talk in the world can usher in a storm because of a "but", "At least I proved in Miami that I can be a good player."

A major component of a super team that wins the championship."

Glider didn't say at least half of the sentence.

That half of the sentence is not suitable to be said here.

The half-sentence that was left unsaid was - On the other hand, Teacher Dadan, as the first core of the super team, although his physical strength is stronger than mine, he did not win the championship.

Glider's words won a lot of applause, and people were happy to see him take this opportunity to inflict secondary damage on the Blazers and Jordan.

Louis couldn't help but feel sad for Jordan.

Isn’t it just that I didn’t win the championship? Why, cats and dogs can come and take a bite.

When Boss Lu felt compassion, he didn't realize that he was the reason why Jordan's life became so sad.

Although complaining about Jordan and the Trail Blazers aroused a good response, looking at Glider's entire speech, it can only be described as mediocre.

Finally, everyone applauded him politely and sent him into the Hall of Fame.

Then, after a little preparation, the camera focused on Legend Lu, who was sitting in the center of the front row.

The big screen on stage began to play the tribute video.

Louis is the only Hall of Fame inductee to receive this honor today.

The video was interspersed with blessings from Wilson, Ewing and others, and then, under a magnificent soundtrack, the host said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please let us welcome the 1989 Hall of Fame members K.C. Jones and

2004 Hall of Famer Legend Lu takes the stage!”

The wife kissed Louis.

Lu Wuxia and Lu Wuyan gave their father a big hug.

His mother whispered a few words in Louis' ear, and then he put away the warm face that his family was familiar with, and replaced it with the smile that belonged to Legend Lu, which was familiar to most people.

When Louis walked onto the stage, the Wilsons stood up and applauded. No one has received such a big welcome in the Hall of Fame and Museum since Larry Bird.

After Louis came on stage, the noise at the scene did not stop.

He tried to interrupt the deafening noise, but the noise maker would not stop.

In the end, Louis could only wait for them to calm down.

This process takes more than a minute.

"Before the speech begins, I would like to pay tribute to Reed Auerbach and his family. Although Reed was not able to come to the scene today, I have received his blessing in private. Of course, I know this is not enough.

So I hit him hard -" Louis smiled sadly, "He will miss the opportunity to become my recommendation for the Hall of Fame. You must know that this is an honor that Larry can't ask for.

.”

There was laughter at the scene, and Bird's vulgar mouth movements greatly increased Louis' desire to express himself.

"However, I think that even if Reid comes, I will choose K.C as my Hall of Fame recommender." Louis glanced at the big brother beside him, and his thoughts were instantly brought back to 26 years ago, "The summer of 1978.

, I was just a college student on summer vacation, but I didn’t know how to enter professional basketball, which was not as popular as it is now. My first stop was not Boston, but Cleveland, which is where I grew up and was my life.

My second hometown, my initial idea was to work for the Cavaliers. I made a lot of preparations for this, but my job application seemed not serious enough for the Cavaliers. I still remember the coach who replaced Bill Fitch and asked me to

The one who was turned away, his name was Dick Noddy."

"I don't know what happened to him later, but I believe that with the help of this wise reviewer, the Cavaliers will definitely have a bright future, so I can only put my last hope in Boston." Louis said fondly,

"At the time, Boston was the only club I could think of that didn't look at seniority or skin color, but a meritocracy, but I still needed a stepping stone. So I found K.C., who was the Celtics assistant coach at the time.

Sent him the scouting report."

"Everything after that is history." Louis smiled, "So, I have to thank K.C. Without him, I might not be where I am today. He is more worthy of being my Hall of Fame recommender than anyone else.

"

Then, Louis' speech stopped for 5 seconds. Because his career was so long, he didn't know where to start.

Then, he found a way out.

"I want to thank Mr. Irv Levin. This is an unfamiliar name to you, but in the 1970s, this name was not unfamiliar at all in the NBA. He was the Celtics player at that time.

Owner. When Mr. Laiwen sold the team in 1978, he invited me to join his new team, the San Diego Clippers. He promised to give me a good position. For me at the time

, it meant a lot, but I ended up not going to San Diego because I was only 19 years old and a nobody in professional basketball, and it was definitely not a good idea to leave Boston and go to San Diego. Especially considering that the team was called the Clippers, you know

's... Even to this day, that's the only team I don't have confidence in saving."

Louis hacked the Clippers, and the scene burst into laughter.

Immediately, Louis said: "I want to thank Jack McMahon (Ja). When I first entered the industry, Jack was definitely a great scout. Although we didn't have much contact, he taught me every time I communicated with him.

I was very impressed. When I first met him, he sold me a dozen scouting reports, which was not common at the time, and I benefited a lot from his experience and insight."

After that, Louis said a few more names that most people had never heard of.

Suddenly... "I want to thank John Salley,"

The scene was very quiet because no one could have imagined that Selly would be on Louis' list of thanks.

"I believe you all know that the 1993 Knicks were my favorite team. Many people know about that team through documentaries. But I swear, you don't know enough. It was a team full of contradictions and crises.

The team, Benj and Patrick stopped talking to each other, Dennis disappeared, MAR's radical religiousism was a problem at the time, Sean's big contract was jealous, many people were unhappy with their playing time...you name it

The Knicks had every problem imaginable. We were a powder keg, and everything John revealed in that book ("When the Garden Became Indian") as that damn unnamed insider,

Destroyed the team from the outside in."

More than ten years later, the anger can still be seen on Louis' face.

"Since then, the team has been completely torn apart, and we have become a mess. Although we found out the traitor immediately, the gap has been opened, the internal conflicts have become public, and the Knicks are finished -" Louis said

Finished, looking at the old subordinates off the court, "We should be finished, right? But, we are not finished. This team was miraculously cured in the finals. They want to maintain the dignity of the championship, and they are eager to win.

The selfishness that has been killing championships since ancient times, they overcame the doubts from the outside world, defeated their own greed for more, and finally became the best team in history."

"That was the best team I have ever owned in my life. Although I only owned it for one night, I was satisfied." Louis' anger had already turned into a relieved smile, and the members of the Knicks dynasty in the audience fell into it.

Remembering the past. "For this, I have to thank John Salley, you are the best mole ever."

The Hall of Fame is usually a stage for praise.

People with good eloquence will prepare a lot of jokes to warm up. Louis did make jokes, but that was not his main purpose.

It may seem inhumane to publicly execute John Salley, but anyone who knew Louis knew that it was him.

Don't forgive, don't forget.

"I worked in New York for ten years, and that was the decade when my career took off. It was in those ten years that I went from a kid standing on Reid's shoulders to the so-called messiah. But, just by me

No one can do that work alone, so I have a lot of people to thank.”

"First of all, I need to thank the late Hall of Fame player Dave DeBusschere." Louis said, "At that time, Dave was the general manager of the Knicks. As early as June of that year, I had already decided to join New York.
To be continued...
