The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 1096 I'm leaving, Patrick

"Are you crazy? That's my dad's job!"

Louie looked at Jim Bass, how does this prodigal compare to James Dolan? Not much better. Compared to Dolan's self-digging-the-wall-style operation, Bass is a typical example of quick success and quick success, with excess self-awareness that delays the team.

He is operational.

The key for Kobe Bryant to lead the Lakers to two consecutive championships was to exchange for Pau Gasol with a bunch of players who seemed to be broken at the time. This transaction is directly related to Buss Jr. Take the heir position.

After Buss took over, the Lakers formed F4 in the summer of 2012, but it ended in dismal end, and Kobe Bryant snapped his Achilles tendon. The Lakers' decline was unstoppable.

Seeing that he was so excited about this, Louie just said with a smile: "What does it matter? Your father is still the owner of the team. This will not change, but he has lost the right to directly interfere with the team's plans."

Jim couldn't help but feel sorry for Dad: "My dad never interfered with management, he just wanted to be part of the team, but you're taking away his power to be involved."

Louis has unshakable reasons.

"Every employee wants their boss to be professional enough, but they don't want to be disturbed by an unprofessional boss who likes to point fingers." Louie said sarcastically, "This is my bottom line, if you think it is not acceptable Accept, then unfortunately, our negotiation can only go so far, please be smart."

Then, both sides fell silent.

It was very quiet in the restaurant because Bath had reserved the room.

He did not want the negotiations to be disrupted.

Lorraine is like non-existence, and since the negotiation started, she has not spoken.

Because Louie just wanted her to sit in, and if he could, help determine if Bass was telling the truth or a lie.

But if she can really judge this, then being an actor is a bit underpowered.

This is the first time Louis has shown her work in front of her.

This is too far from the Louis in her usual impression, it's just two people.

Was it that her husband was so domineering when he was outside?

Asking the boss to give up his position in the company to him - Lorraine: I understood that right? - This kind of thing actually happened?

When the atmosphere becomes hard to breathe, every second is hard.

Give up the position of president to Louis? how can that be?

Buss thinks so, but, considering the current situation of the Lakers, there are not many options left to him.

With the ceilings of Pippen and Robinson already confirmed, the addition of Benjamin Wilson will determine whether the Lakers can still be competitive in the 1990s.

And only when the Lakers sign Louie will Wilson officially sign with the Lakers.

Louis and Wilson are one.

Is Louis worth it? Buss can't help but think back to the summer of 1984 when Louie, who led the Celtics back to the top, unexpectedly refused to renew his contract with the Celtics and accepted an invitation from the Knicks to go to New York to be the team's head coach. Has the right to question and make the final decision on all operations of the team.

What happened in the years that followed?

Louie turned a ridiculed team into a champion team that stumbled the Celtics dynasty, and won consecutive championships for the next seven years, soaring the Knicks' commercial value and affecting the entire league.

He was already the Reed Auerbach of New York.

He could stay in that comfort zone until he was rotten if he wanted to.

Now he wants a new challenge, voluntarily leaves New York and joins a new team. Can the power he wants be lower than that given by New York or other teams?

Thinking of this, Bass knew that there was no room for negotiation in this matter.

If you want Messiah to come to Angel City, you can only give him absolute power, that is, the president of the operation department - the leader of the entire forum and its industrial Lakers team, who has the right to appoint and remove everyone, and can lead the forum and the Lakers. everything.

Is he worth it?

For this question, Bass must jump out of the matter of "signing Louie before getting Wilson". He must consider it from all aspects, and judge by Louie's ability, achievements, and his development prospects in the Lakers.

Without Wilson, if the Lakers had nothing, if he needed a dynastic team builder, would he choose Louie?

Bass didn't even think for more than a second.

100 million percent of the fuck!

Buss realized that even if he gave up his decision-making power, he would let Louis come to the Lakers.

This is their only chance to break the spell, and their only chance to get Louie and Wilson.

"Coach Lu, I will give you everything you want." Bass, who was determined, resumed his smile, "From today onwards, you will be our president."

"No, not today." Louis smiled. "We will sign the contract next month. You can talk to my agent about the details of the contract."

This is the end.

Louie's year-long torment, nearly 20 days of waiting after the season ended, finally came to an end.

Los Angeles is his next stop.

Compared to when he first chose to come to New York, Louis was less excited, and it was a natural choice.

On the way home, Lorraine seemed to have endless questions.

"Are you always like this outside?"

"I feel Mr. Bass is a little afraid of you."

"Why are you like a sheep at home."

On the last question, Louie's answer was simple: "Because I love you, Malena."

"However, it's finally over, isn't it?"

Yeah, it's finally over.

It's hard when it's time to make a decision, but once a decision is made, things get done quickly.

He believes he will not regret making this decision.

When he went to Los Angeles, his main consideration was not whether it was suitable for him, but his family.

Lorraine's acting career will not be affected.

Children can go to schools in Los Angeles that are similar to New York.

Mom doesn't want to move, but Louie has convinced her.

The reason is very simple. The Knicks are going to change their bosses. One generation of emperors and one courtier.

As a result, the old lady was really persuaded and no longer thought that it was her son who wanted to live a comfortable life in New York. Since it was a job change, there was nothing she could do. She could only reluctantly give up the 95% consumption-free privilege in New York.

Louie will sign with the Lakers in August at a time he decides.

During this window period, the Lakers can discuss the details of the contract with his agent.

Louie decided to go after his birthday this year.

For so many years, he rarely celebrated his birthday.

Mainly I don't want to.

He's not the kind of person who likes parties, and things like birthdays are nothing but symbolic.

But this year is different. He is leaving New York and needs a farewell ceremony, which is just right.

Louie's birthday is...(to see the character card)...August 5th.

During this period, the league's hottest gossip was about the Danny Manning trade.

There are a lot of teams that want Manning.

The Blazers offered to trade Sabonis + the draft pick.

The offer was rejected by the Pacers, who didn't need past-peak Lithuanians and doomed draft picks.

The Heat became Manning's frontrunner.

Because Lewis Shafir was willing to pay for Manning.

He directly took out Hank Gaithers, a player who made great contributions to the rise of the Heat, and now he can't escape the fate of being put on the shelves.

He has All-Star quality, but Shafir wants superstars.

The Heat have been raising prices, waiting for the Pacers to nod.

It looks like the deal will be done sooner or later, and Shafir is on the verge of becoming the most offseason GM of all time.

Some joked that splitting his signings in half would be enough to make two GMs of the year.

It's August, Louis' birthday.

These days, in addition to preparing birthday parties and inviting guests, he also called one by one to inform him of his decision.

However, Louie asked them to keep the players secret.

So, none of the players who came to the birthday party knew that Louie was leaving.

Louie invited Ewing, Kemp, Miller, Stockton, McHale, (Reggie) Williams, Stevens.

Wilson didn't come because Louie didn't inform him.

The essence of this party is not a birthday, but a farewell.

He and benj will meet every day in Los Angeles in the future. There is nothing to say goodbye to, right? So just don't call him.

Ewing was also very angry: "Why didn't that **** Benjamin come? Did he go to Los Angeles and didn't know us?"

"It's okay, Benj, it's okay, Benjamin, you're such an asshole!" McHale laughed and scolded, "But seriously, even if you're not at the Knicks, you should be attending the coach's birthday party, right?"

Tomjanovich, who knew the inside story, helped explain: "Benj is temporarily busy and can't come."

"This guy, it's always like this!"

Lu Wuxia knew that Wilson would not come, but he did not expect Rodman to come either.

"Is Dennis coming too?"

In the entire Knicks, Lu Wuxia's favorite player is Wilson, followed by Rodman. Neither of them came, which made him a little lost.

"Mike, that guy can't find anyone as long as he's on vacation." Kemp laughed, "I can play with you if you want."

Hearing this, Lu Wuxia looked at the room full of Knicks players, took out a basketball from his room and asked loudly, "Anyone want to play?"

No NBA player would be interested in playing with 10-year-old children, but Lu Wuxia is a special child, he has a way to make this group of people who have won numbness on the court have a fighting spirit: "My father always said that I was the one he had seen before. The most accurate shooter in the world, does this mean that your shots are not as accurate as mine?"

"What a crazy kid, come and have a test with me quickly!" Miller bit the bait and took the bait on the spot.

They started a special shooting game in the gym at Louie's house.

Later, even Louie played. In the end, Lu Wuxia was the one who won in the end. He defeated Kemp in his mid-range shot, beat Miller in a three-pointer, and won the best of the game and the MVP award for this birthday party.

Louie laughed happily the whole time, completely forgetting what he was calling these people to say.

Ewing came to talk to him when he had something to do, and by the way inquired about the progress of the contract renewal.

None of the players thought Louie would leave New York.

Will the Messiah leave his Jerusalem behind?

It is precisely because the players feel that they are bound to stay that Louis finds it difficult to explain.

In the evening, when the birthday cake came up, everyone was smeared with cream. Among them, Camp and Lu Wuxia were the most severely persecuted.

When the party was over, Louie was still standing by the living room window, looking out at the Manhattan neighborhood not far away, still with the cream on his face.

Ewing is here.

"Those guys don't dare to hit you with cream. In the end, it's me!" Ewing said proudly.

Louis snorted and didn't answer.

"Although benj is gone, our goal will not change, we will still attack the championship." Ewing began to say those irrelevant words.

This is him. He clearly wanted to ask Louis about the contract renewal, but he didn't know how to speak, so he had to find other topics.

"Grant Hill is really good, I think give him a little time and he'll be better than Benj."

"The young people on the team are also very good. I think the most regrettable thing for them is that they entered the league too late to play under you."

"I'm not saying Rudy is bad either, I mean..."

"Patrick."

"You bastard, Reggie, what are you talking about all day..."

"Patrick."

Louie raised his voice.

Ewing smiled dryly: "You said."

Getting rid of Ewing was an easy decision, Louie had thought.

But when he recalled the bits and pieces of these years, his thoughts on Ewing, Ewing's growth, Ewing's rebellion, Ewing's low emotional intelligence, Ewing's bad jokes, Ewing and Benj's competition, Ewing's maturity, Ewing's change...

He found that it is really not easy to let go of these things completely~www.novelmt.com~ Ewing is not just a player in his eyes.

Has Ewing become better than his previous life under his guidance?

Louis will not make this conclusion by himself, history will give a fair evaluation.

At this point, he just needs to say goodbye to Ewing.

For the hard work he has paid for the past ten years, for the joys and sorrows of the two sides over the past ten years, for the sweat and tears they once shed in fighting side by side, he needs to say goodbye to Ewing.

"I'm leaving, Patrick."

ps: I will take leave tomorrow.

As always, nothing happened tonight, I am grateful for every day of my life and cry with joy, hope you can sleep as well as I do.
