The Rest, Only Noise

On this day, March 4, Louis received a letter.

Probably some fans got it wrong and thought he was a player, and the letter called him a greedy chimpanzee who went to Africa to dig gold for money, got out of the field, didn't deserve to be a Celtic, etc.

If he can receive this attack DM, others can too.

As a result, the situation turned out to be much worse than Louis had expected.

All blacks on the Celtics were warned and intimidated.

And that's just the beginning, there are people **** on their doorsteps and mailing envelopes with bullets.

As for the white people in the team, they were not threatened or intimidated.

This extreme double standard tore apart the Celtics, and even Sampson, an honest man who never did things, was angry. Isiah Thomas gathered everyone to go to Auerbach's office to discuss , if the matter cannot be satisfactorily resolved, they will apply for a deal.

Louis blocked their way: "First, I also received a threatening letter. I am as angry as you, and my money is not as good as one-tenth of yours. Why should you curse me like that?"

With that said, he took out the letter.

"Second, don't think you're the only one being treated unfairly. This is Boston. You should know what to expect when you come here to play. Reed can't solve your problems!"

Louie pointed to the court: "It's now over the trading day. If you want to be traded, wait until the end of the season. I believe Reed will meet all of your requirements. As for now, go back to training!"

Louie did his best to stop a conflict that would do nothing and add to the rift between players and management.

But what happened to the Celtics players was just a small microcosm.

Larry O'Brien wrote Fleischer a letter when the NBPA tried to restart negotiations with the league.

Fleischer made the letter public.

"I am surprised and disappointed by the stance you and the union have taken in negotiating, in accordance with the decision of the league committee that I and other owners will not hold any further collective bargaining meetings with the players' association unless and until: (1) The Players Association withdraws its April 1, 1983 strike deadline; (2) the Players Association commits to bring a new concrete proposal to the negotiating table to address the financial situation of certain NBA teams."

Unsure of the situation, the fans started attacking the players during the game.

Racism is on the table again.

Whether Americans admit it or not, blacks in the NBA are far more likely to be attacked and booed by fans than whites.

They are always regarded as low-IQ monkeys, with well-developed limbs and strong muscles, who can only survive on the court by athletic ability but are more popular than intelligent white players.

The fan shaming of the players began to spread.

Since the 1960s, the United States has not had such open and above-mentioned racial discrimination on a public stage like the NBA.

The Celtics and Lakers, the two teams with hopefuls for a championship, have made their case.

They said they were no longer interested in this season's championship, they just wanted to know if the new deal would go smoothly, and if not, all of them were ready for it.

Not so with the 76ers.

When Louie saw the attitude of the 76ers through the Boston Herald, he began to believe that reincarnation really existed.

Their performance reminded Louie of two lockouts in the 2020 NBA.

The 2019-20 season took a double whammy of revenue surprises. The first blow was the loss of the lucrative Chinese TV broadcast market because of Twitter, the former Rockets general manager. Although China ended up streaming Game 5 of the Finals, that was after the league reported a loss of more than $300 million.

The second, heavier blow is due to the new crown pandemic, and the unfavorable control of the epidemic in the United States has led to today's dire situation. As part of a more comprehensive public health plan, the NBA suspended its season on March 11 and will not resume play in Orlando until late July. Of course, the game itself is no different. It is a contest between two NBA teams, but in the Disney rematch, there will be no audience. For the league, no audience means no revenue.

Then came the influence of the BLM movement, and the NBA was suspended again. Although the duration was short, the attitude of James and the Lakers was similar to that of the 76ers. They dare not fight against the political correctness of the players' union, but they are definitely the last team to stop.

Because they were the only team that was ready for a title that season, especially after two lockouts.

Since the two sides have stopped communicating, whether all players will strike as scheduled has become an important question.

In order to exert extreme pressure, the NBA issued an announcement: All players who voluntarily participate in the lockout and give up the game, especially those who are about to become free agents, cannot become free agents. They have to add a year to the original contract.

Some team owners have decided to file lawsuits directly against players preparing to strike.

Other teams, like the 76ers, Spurs, Nuggets, Suns and Sonics, have their owners come off the court to explain to the players the dangers of a strike and its impact on themselves.

Louis came to Auerbach's office and told the truth about the atmosphere in the team and their attitude towards the strike.

"Do those **** really want to strike?" Auerbach asked.

"There's no doubt about that," Louie said.

Suddenly, Auerbach smiled: "What's the reaction of the video captain?"

"He can't accept it." Lewis paused, "He intends to continue to press the players."

Auerbach lights a cigar, which he smokes several times a day.

"What do you think?" Auerbach asked.

Louis told the truth: "Our locker room is very conflicted, and the chemistry on the field is a mess~www.novelmt.com~ No one wants to execute Bill's tactics. This is his only chance to win back the respect of the players."

"What if he screwed up?"

"The season is over."

"This season is already over, don't you see what those **** are talking about? They can't negotiate any terms!" Auerbach snorted, "Lu, you don't have to worry about anything, now The only thing to do is support Bill, and I know you're getting impatient."

Louis' pupils trembled.

A smile appeared on Louis' serious face, which was very gloomy.

"There's nothing to hide from you, Reed," he said.

"Want to lie to me?" Auerbach said with a smug smile, "Cultivation for another hundred years!"
