The Rest, Only Noise

To be fired from the position of head coach, Louie still needs to get the consent of one person.

That man was his boss, the president of msg, Jack Kruger.

Louie and Kruger came to the window to chat privately.

When Louie said he was going to resign, Kruger was so excited that someone was flicking his dick.

"No! Absolutely not! I disagree!" Kruger shook his head vigorously, "Lu, this team will never work without you!"

Kruger immediately thought of many possibilities.

Why did Louis suddenly not want to do it? Certainly not a problem within the team. Even if it is an internal problem, as the president of the team, he also has the power to make a decision first and then file.

No one should dare to do things in front of him, and behind him he has the support of the top management of the entire group.

So, the problem is definitely not from inside, but from outside.

Kruger must be poking their feet.

After all, Louie's contract expired in 1994. Although he can't leave now, he can still do it by lifting his authority little by little.

"Louis, no matter who gave you the contract privately, I will pay you double the price!" Kruger felt that he was a boss who was very willing to delegate power. Since he was transferred to the president of msg in 1986, he has never rejected Louis. The cooperation between them has always been a story in the industry.

Louie smiled bitterly: "No one gave me a contract, Jack, I just feel too tired and want to rest for a while."

"You have a lot of vacation now."

"Not enough." Louie shook his head, "From 1984 to today, I have been thinking about how to manage this team every day. For nine years, I wandered back and forth between coaching, operating, and trading. These things are driving me crazy. Now, Jack. A few months off is not enough, I need more time."

Hearing this, Kruger felt a lot more relieved: "So, you just don't coach anymore?"

"Of course, I'll still be in New York." At least until the summer of 1994.

As long as Louie is still there, Kruger doesn't care who will be the coach of the Knicks. That's what Louie should care about. Who made him the president of the operations department?

"Who do you want to pick up your shift?" Kruger asked.

Louie glanced at Tomjanovich not far away.

"Rudy," said Louie affirmatively. "It must be him."

"Okay, I trust your vision." Kruger breathed a sigh of relief, "Louis, you really scared me to death."

I'm lucky to have a boss who values ​​me so highly.

Louie's thoughts were also shaken at this moment.

He really has so many reasons to stay in New York.

At the same time, he could not find a reason to leave New York.

However, if he still has a lot of reasons to stay, but he still doesn't care, it means that there is no reason at all for this matter.

Louis wasn't Auerbach's kind of hero who wanted to rule a place until he got old.

Especially what he has experienced this season makes him feel that staying for a long time is a kind of harm to himself and the team.

There are many emperors in history who would have been rated much better if they had died a few years earlier, and Louis didn't want that.

His achievements in New York thus far have been great, remarkable, and unshakable.

That was enough, he had nothing left.

This idea collided with another, creating a whirlwind of communication in Louis' mind.

June 29, 1993

This year's NBA draft was held at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit.

Also today, Knicks veteran Danny Ainge announced his retirement. In a 12-year career that is neither long nor short, Ainge is undoubtedly a winner. In these 12 years, he followed the Celtics and the Knicks to win 10 championships.

His championship ring can be worn all over his hands.

Only Bill Russell has won more championships in history.

Angie said he has a new job.

At the beginning of the new season, Ainge will be the announcer for the Knicks, partnering with Knicks legend Walter Frazier.

Louis originally wanted to keep Ainge in the team as a shooting coach, and see if he can be pulled to the management in the future.

But now he seems to focus on broadcasting, so let him.

However, Louie feels that the job of announcer is overkill for Angie, and he will definitely follow the old path of Pat Riley in the future.

When the draft began, Louie was in the Knicks' draft war room as usual.

This year's draft is not easy, and the Knicks need to use limited resources to acquire the most suitable targets for the team.

The NBA draft was broadcast live on nbc.

After more than a decade of commercializing the league, the draft has inevitably become part of the business.

Take tonight's draft at the Palace of Auburn Hills, for example, the farthest ticket from the venue alone costs $10.

NBC has produced an exquisite promotional video for this draft, and the copywriting makes people laugh.

"The audience in front of the TV, you are very lucky, because the NBA has a good harvest this year and there are many beautiful 'crops'."

Doug Mo complained: "Is there no one in tnt? I actually found a farmer to write the copy."

Baylor continued: "Isn't it more problematic for producers who pass this kind of copy?"

Louis didn't speak.

The top pattern of this year's draft is somewhat similar to last year's.

For example, there is no doubt about the first and second picks.

The No. 1 pick goes to Webber and the No. 2 pick goes to Sean Bradley.

A bit unpredictable from the third pick, Anfernee Hardaway, Jamal Mashburn, Isaiah Ryder, Calbert Chaney (calberteysg/sf).

Without any surprises, these guys will be the top six picks.

After that, it will be up to the scouts to see if they are able to use them well.

Host Bob Neal is introducing this year's rookies.

The commentators were Hubby Brown and Doug Collins, familiar to the audience.

As is customary, in addition to introducing this year's rookies to the players, they also talk about the transactions made by the teams recently and the potential transactions that may occur.

Collins was the first to say his scoop: "The Warriors are selling their No. 3 pick."

As a powerhouse in the Western Conference, it's strange that the Warriors have this year's No. 3 overall pick.

But just like last year's Knicks won five consecutive championships but still has the top five picks.

You are strong and you are strong, and the general managers of some teams are still banging their heads against the wall.

The Warriors' third overall pick came from Atlanta, and they made a trade a few years ago, and one of the chips the Hawks paid was a first-round pick in 1993.

Collins mentioned that Hardaway had a fabulous workout in Orlando.

"Could it be that the kid slammed the ball into the basket ten times in a row from beyond the arc?"

Old Mo's sudden vulgar joke made Baylor burst into laughter.

Then, Stern stepped onto the stage and announced without emotion: "Chris Webber, selected by the Orlando Magic with the No. 1 pick in the 1993 NBA Draft, is from the University of Michigan!"

"It seems that even if Anfernee can put the ball into the basket with a chicken from midfield, it can't stop the Magic from drafting Webber." Mo's joke continues~www.wuxiaspot.com~Louis noticed Webber in the light A bald head that appears to be almost reflective.

The current Webber has not grown into the handsome black guy who occupies the first place with an absolute advantage in the voting posts of "Who is the most handsome player in NBA history?" on the Chinese Internet in the future.

"Except for free throws and low post skills, he really has no flaws." Zhao Yuanzheng was full of praise for Webber.

Lao Mo's joke continued: "How about something like calling for a pause at the last moment?"

Zhao Yuanzheng excused Weber: "Everyone makes mistakes."

They were chatting about Webb, while Louie watched the live stream in silence and waited patiently for the call.

Before the draft began, they had already released the wind to trade John Salley and Wang Mukong.

The former is an immediate battle, and the latter is a half-scratched lottery that is expected to bring the Knicks a first-round pick and some cash in return.

1 Riley's road to godfather also started as an announcer, partnering with Chick Hearn in the Lakers. In 1980, when Jack McKinney, the founder of the Lakers' showtime style, was involved in a car accident, the Lakers had to let assistant Paul Westhead on top, and Westhead went to Riley to be his temporary assistant. Riley eventually helped Westhead get the Lakers to a title in 1981. This must be an underrated "what if" in NBA history. Wouldn't Riley really have been buried in the commentary if McKinney hadn't been in a car accident?
