The Rest, Only Noise

In June, Louie split his salary in two.

A copy is sent to the family. Although the money is not much, it is his heart and the sense of responsibility to share the pressure for the family.

Li Xuanbing thought he was still on vacation, thanks to the general dislike of the NBA by Americans, and the fact that scouts are the least concerned existence in the entire system, so in the short term, there is no risk of Louis being exposed.

Picking Bird lays the foundation for a revival for the Celtics, and several other great draft picks look set to play a role in the future.

Louie spent a week relaxing before getting ready for the next phase of work.

He wants a list of graduates who will be in their senior year next year.

As soon as his work started, he was interrupted.

He was in the scouting office when the secretary he had seen two weeks earlier suddenly entered his office.

Louie remembers the secretary because he conveyed the owner's wish that the team skipped Bird like a top-five pick, more practical.

"Lu, most people are on vacation at this time, are you?" The secretary came with kindness.

"My colleagues are all experienced professionals, and I'm still a child, and I'm not even of legal drinking age." Louie's words brought a strange emotion to the secretary's face.

Are you still a child? And then you can just stomp on John Kyrilla's face with your foot?

How many other children can get away after humiliating Kirillia like that?

"I know the reason why stupid birds fly first, so I can't slack off for a moment." Said the "child" who had just spent seven ecstasy nights on the belly of seven strange women.

The secretary praised: "No wonder Mr. Levine values ​​you so much!"

"Mr. Levine?" Louie hesitated for only a second before realizing that the "Mr. Levine" in the secretary's mouth was the Celtic owner, Owen Levine.

But the feud between the Celtics' management and owners is a post-1966 tradition.

Offend the boss, at most he will be deducted salary, offend Auerbach, he can't even think about messing around here.

So, "I'm just a kid." Because he's a kid, don't ask him for trouble, he's a low-level scout, He De He Neng?

"Don't be nervous, Lu." The more the secretary was like this, the more nervous Louis became. "Mr. Owen heard about your briefing. He likened you to Moses Malone among managers. You are still young, but the future It must be unlimited."

Louis smirked like he was demented: "But I'm still a child, aren't I?"

The secretary really didn't expect him to be so thick-skinned. It's okay for others to say that he is a child. That's often to object to what he said - should an 18-year-old kid listen? They wanted to get the message across - but how could he take it personally?

He is an official employee of the Celtics, so why not pretend to be tender?

"Okay, Lu, I will now officially ask you a question on behalf of Mr. Owen."

"I hope it's something my child can answer..."

The secretary asked, "Are you interested in taking a more important role in another city?"

These words made Louis unable to turn around.

If he heard correctly, the boss wants him to find another job.

Is this the way people started in the 70's? First bluff him in a fancy way, and then say that you were fired, and your speaking skills are even better than Mr. Ma, actually "Are you interested in playing a more important role in other cities"? Wow slot, God!

"Did I do something wrong?" Louis asked.

"Lu, you misunderstood." The secretary explained, "The boss means that he intends to arrange a better job for you in another city."

This... Louie doesn't understand.

He is a child... Although he has the advantage of being a traveler and has submitted his test papers, it is foreseeable that he will eventually get a high score in the test, but after all, he has not yet received the teacher's approval. Why does this boss have such a big heart? Besides, going to another city for a better job must have nothing to do with basketball, right?

Louie had never heard of an owner who ran two teams at the same time.

"The only thing I know is basketball."

As soon as Louis finished speaking, the secretary smiled lightly.

"Mr. Levine didn't intend to take you out of basketball either."

It's so weird, give him a better job, and still a basketball job, if Levine values ​​him that much, shouldn't he stay in Boston and play for the Celtics?

No matter what kind of heart he had, even if it was kind, Louis couldn't take the future at risk.

"Please tell Mr. Levin for me, thank him for his kindness." Louis solemnly refused, "I like Boston very much. The life here makes me feel comfortable, and I have no idea of ​​leaving for the time being."

The secretary finally said: "Lu, in a few days you will know why this happened. You can still change your mind at that time. This is my contact information."

"Trust me, Mr. Levine appreciates your talent." The secretary handed over his contact information.

The turmoil the Celtics experienced in the 1970s had to do with two things.

The ownership of the team changed frequently, and they changed many owners, and almost none of them could be called a good owner.

They are either dictatorial and have no money, or they have no money, or they have money but are stingy, or they have both... Owen Levine belongs to the third party. He won ownership of the Celtics in a lawsuit and sent the team's former owner to prison.

In the early days of his tenure with the Celtics, he had many conflicts with team coach Tom Heinsohn, so when the Green Army inevitably weakened, Heinsohn became the blamer for the first time.

Although he was deeply proud of owning the Celtics, what happened to John Havlicek's retirement in the final game of the 1977-78 season made the heart of the powerful man Grey and cold.

The match was delayed by 8 minutes due to the noise of the audience. Havlicek walked to the center of the court and faced the audience. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com raised his arms and bowed. At halftime, the Celtics held a special ceremony for him. Since Havlicek loves the outdoors, they sent him a camper van.

This is Levine's master, and he admires Havlicek as a craftsman who sticks to his duty and does all the work he can.

He's also very pushy, so he wants to join celebrities when they take the stage to tell how great Havlicek is. What he didn't know was that the fans didn't like him. While Auerbach never criticized him in front of the media, Heinsohn was adept at embarrassing his bosses with his big mouth. The media followed suit, and fans could only harvest infinite hatred for Levin from a limited perspective.

Levine hadn't even said a word, and as the host introduced him to the audience, a tsunami of boos from fans swept through the garden.

Levine's wife covered her mouth, his child cried in fright, and he could only force a laugh, leaving the garden full of anger as the camera moved away from him.

He is very stingy and is reluctant to spend too much money to build a team, but the current NBA is already precarious, and no owner is willing to spend more money in it. For Levine, he's done his best for this team, and his efforts to fit in with the Celtics haven't paid off.

The boos of Havlicek's retirement battle still ring in his ears, and his ties to the team were severed.

So, in late June, at the NBA's annual meeting, he petitioned commissioner Larry O'Brien to move the Celtics to a more lucrative market.

This set off an earthquake at the meeting!
