"Coach Lu, can you show off?"

"What kind of sex?"

"For example, holding a basketball and doing any random action?"

Hearing this, Louis naturally spun the basketball with his left hand, which was a unique skill that attracted female classmates in school.

However, this trick also depends on the face to ensure the success rate.

Because of the Celtics' astonishing winning percentage, "Sports Illustrated" decided to make Louis the cover star of the new issue.

By convention, the cover character must have a corresponding feature article about the character.

The person responsible for the feature article on Louis is Bruce Newman, a contracted writer for Sports Illustrated and a veteran in the field of basketball. He knows everything from the NBA to college basketball.

The most difficult question Newman raised with Louis was within the Celtics.

"Larry and Isiah each have sharp personalities. How do you balance their daily needs?"

Louis simply replied: "Just have more personality than them."

Newman later interviewed the players and asked what made Louie more unique.

The answer he got was shocking.

"He would insult any one of us, and it didn't matter if our name was Larry or Isiah."

"However, under certain conditions, he also allows us to insult him at will."

"Because he always scolds the wrong person, but refuses to compensate us substantively, so he allows us to retaliate with scolding."

Ranbir's answer is the most classic.

"Should I tell the truth?"

"Yes."

"Can I swear?"

"no."

"Then I have nothing more to say. Long live Coach Lu."

Being on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a coach is a big deal.

In the field of basketball, the only coaches who have appeared on the cover of Illustrated were Dean Smith two years ago, who still benefited from his disciples; John Sampson last spring, who benefited from Ewing and the president; the head coach of the Philadelphia Warriors

Frank McGuire (Frank MGuire), was influenced by Chamberlain; Pete Maravich's father was influenced by his son.

The only coaches who qualify for the entire cover are Bob Knight and John Wooden (as of 1984).

Neither Reid was selected, nor were any other great coaches.

In January 1984, Louis, 23 years and 5 months old, appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Louis is introduced in detail in Bruce Newman's masterpiece "All of you who hate me, question me, accuse me, hate me, you're probably right, but I doubt it."

The chain effects caused by this were beyond their imagination.

Regarding Louis's remarks that "coaching this team is easy", many old coaches considered it an insult to his predecessor Bill Fitch.

And Louis said that the secret to winning is "all five people run on the court, perform their duties, pass the ball, find the open space, and win. Without me, there is nothing."

This statement is essentially correct, but the Celtics probably haven't reached that level yet.

Dallas Mavericks coach Dick Motta questioned Louis's words very much: "Little Lou obviously knows very well that that is the highest level of basketball game, but has Boston reached that level? I don't think so. Who cares?

With players like Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, and Ralph Sampson, they will be able to do what he is doing now."

Louis has had an inexplicable dislike for white Americans named "Dick" since he was 18 years old.

Motta questioned him and asked him to check the game schedule against the Mavericks.

On January 11, after four games, they will go to Dallas to challenge the second-placed Mavericks in the division.

Motta is not the only one who questions Louis, but he is the only one whom Louis can see and touch, and he can teach him a lesson whenever he wants.

With this rare opportunity, Louis asked the entire team to focus on playing a wonderful game and go to Dallas in perfect condition.

No team could give the Celtics trouble before they arrived in Dallas.

A simple four-game winning streak, surpassing all teams on this road.

On January 11, the Celtics, with a record of 35 wins and 3 losses, entered Dallas, a city notorious for racism and regional discrimination.

When the Celtics got off the plane, insulting icons and posters were everywhere outside the airport.

"Little Lu, how do you feel?" a reporter outside the airport asked.

As a result, Louis got on the bus without even looking at the reporter.

Dallas reporters devoted considerable space to the next day's newspapers describing Louis' arrogance.

However, the game started that night, so Louis would definitely not be able to see it.

The Mavericks' home court is not as airy as the Boston Garden, but the ventilation and internal environment are better.

Louis is really disappointed. As long as the peripherals are compared, the Celtics have never won.

To make matters worse, their pregame show was so boring, whereas the Mavericks had a whole show.

After each show, sexy and hot Dallas girls come out to dance.

"Why does Reid insist on fighting this?" Louie asked K.C.

K.C did not dare to express his opinion and could only answer in Auerbach's words: "Because basketball is basketball, and basketball should be very simple."

"So basketball has never developed, and the league has never progressed?" Louis asked.

K.C didn’t want to be Auerbach’s debater: “When we go back this time, you can ask him for advice.”

"I think you just want to hear him scold me, right?" Louis was not fooled.

K.C shrugged, wondering why Louis would care so much about such an unsuspicious matter. Anyone who comes to the Celtics to seek a job knows who the emperor is here, but Louis often shows a desire to surpass Auerbach.

Before the game started, Louis came to the center of the field and met the real person of "Rotten Jiba No. 2".

"You may win, but I won't let you get what you want." Mota said seriously.

Louis smiled and said: "You can rest assured, my wish is to beat you by 40 points. You are second in the Midwest Division after all, so you shouldn't lose that much by 40 points."

"You are really arrogant."

"You really live up to your name, Coach Dick."

Louis didn't mean to confuse the names of Motta. He called Motta that because he knew it was wrong.

Seeing the displeasure on the face of "Rotten Jiba No. 2", Louis was very happy that he had achieved his goal.

"I hope you don't really lose 40 points." Louis said sincerely, "because that would be too ugly."
