The Rest, Only Noise

Latest URL: "Which one?"

Louis picked up the phone and asked.

"Coach Lu, it's me."

Louie had completely memorized Dave Garvet's voice.

"Oh, Dave, I don't know why you called me?" Louie asked knowingly when he came up.

"We took your asking price seriously...it's not unacceptable."

Louie: ? ? ?

Is Auerbach dead or is it really okay?

This was Louis' question at the time.

"If you could change the 1996 first-round pick swap to a restricted first-round pick, maybe we could trade right away."

The counter-offer is normal, and Louis immediately asked: "How do you want to modify it?"

"Modified the 1996 first-round pick swap to a protected first-round pick, top-15 protected."

"No, Dave, I don't think you'll be at that level by 1996." Louis didn't expect such a condition.

It was originally a first-round pick exchange. If the Celtics’ record is not up and down, the pick will definitely be higher than the Knicks, and the Knicks will exchange their first-round picks with them. But at least, they also have the Knicks draft rights.

If it is such a revised law, although it can avoid working for the Knicks, how can they be sure that they will not be competitive by then? If the competition is still there and the record is not up and down, the signing will definitely be after the 20th, and not only will the Knicks be given the draft right for free, but there will be no consolation prize.

"It's our internal decision."

"Well, I respect your decision. After all, I came out of Boston, and I have feelings for there."

Garvitt didn't believe Louis at all.

"If this is what you want, I have no problem, just do as you say."

The two sides exchanged a few words before hanging up.

Baylor's eyes stared like eggs: "It's done?"

Louis scratched his forehead, "That's right."

"What kind of transaction law?"

Louie told Baylor the details of the deal.

Unexpectedly, the old boy looked at Louis with a disappointed face: "I thought you could really slaughter Boston, but you didn't earn much, why are you not pursuing more and more? It won't be true. Have you softened your heart when you met your old boss?"

"You are soft-hearted, sir!" Louie stood on the desk arrogantly, "It gave me enough sweetness, I can even trade myself out, a mere Boston can make me soft-hearted? You don't go out and ask, I'm Hannibal, New York. Is it a false name?"

The Knicks-Celtics trade, confirmed by the league half an hour later, was announced.

The Knicks sent the 11th pick in the first round, the 13th pick in the first round, and the 27th pick in the second round to Boston in exchange for Chris Jackson and a 1994 first-round pick and a 1996 restricted pick.

As soon as the news came out, there was not much cheer for the Knicks.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Knicks have no place to sign new players, so they make a deal with the old club and get a parallel import, and want a few first-round meanings.

This is the sophistication of the world.

Few people took the deal seriously.

Lewis Shafir quickly called and wailed: "Coach Lu, if your first round is useless, you can trade with us, isn't it just for the future first round? We can also make two."

"And, we won't set any restrictions."

That's the value of a draft first-round pick.

Even if it's only the 11th and 13th picks, there are people rushing for them.

"Sorry, Lewis, you really don't have any players I'm interested in." Lewis said, "Let's work together next time."

"A player you're interested in?" Shafir was shocked, "It won't be Chris Jackson, right? Coach Lu, why are you interested in him? I've always wanted to find a chance to thank you for not letting me choose this guy. , if we selected him with the third pick last year, I really can't imagine the consequences!"

Everyone's reaction made Louis realize that perhaps this transaction was really agreed by Auerbach.

Chris Jackson has nothing but the title of No. 3 overall pick.

He is already recognized as a parallel importer.

What is the value of the parallel imports that have been inspected? Can it be worth two early first-round picks in the draft? Of course not, an increase is necessary.

So it may be wrong to conclude that Garrett has taken over the Celtics' operations entirely by virtue of this trade, but Garvet is taking over the Celtics' management, that's for sure.

"Trust me, Lewis," said Louis confidently. "There's some rubbish, but it's not really rubbish, it's just that we haven't figured out its value and purpose."

"Of course, I absolutely believe in you, Coach Lu, next time something like this happens again, please contact me as soon as possible."

Louie was too lazy to listen to his complaints, and after he finished speaking, he hung up the phone for whatever reason.

On the night of the completion of the transaction, Louis stayed at the Blue Palace to work overtime.

He joined Tomjanovich, Zhao Yuanzheng, Billy Donovan, Van Gundy, Doug Mo and Baylor to recap Jackson's best and worst game with the Hornets last season.

The best games see all his strengths, and the worst games see all his weaknesses.

After everyone watched his best game, Tomjanovich said with emotion: "We have been looking for players who can make a decisive shot to punish the opponent after calling the pick-and-roll, when the opponent's defense turns around and opens up the defensive space. Aren't you coming?"

Van Gundy had a different opinion: "But he lacks discipline and tactical literacy on the field, shoots at will, and has poor defensive habits."

"These are not problems." Lao Mo said with a smile, "We have good defensive players to help him wipe his ass."

When they watched Jackson's worst game, in 25 minutes, he made 4 of 18 shots and scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Van Gundy shook his head and said, "That's where his stats come from. He's an irresponsible player, an arrogant offensive player, an incompetent defender, a parallel importer whose self-perception has been affected by low-level college play, we Should trade..."

"Wait, wait." Louie interrupted him with a smile, "Jeff, don't say that, I think he's not bad."

Van Gundy said: "I respect your opinion, Coach Lu, but I also reserve mine."

"What about the others, what do you think?" Louis asked.

After watching Jackson's worst game, Tomjanovich had less expectations for him: "Anyway, he's the third pick and only played a year, we should watch him for a while. "

Only Zhao Yuanzheng and Louis thought of going together.

"Actually, he has a lot of good habits." Zhao Yuanzheng picked up the remote control and cut him to a certain round, "Charlotte's cover for him is not enough, and he is still adapting to the intensity of the NBA's confrontation, but he is already capable of Ability to shoot at a high level. His long-range threat is impressive, he's a very creative ball-handler. He needs more pick-and-rolls and screens, and we have the most."

Zhao Yuanzheng's words were sonorous and powerful.

"I think he's still a great prospect if he learns how to play the right game under a great manager."

"Zhao, do you flatter Coach Lu when you sleep?" Baylor joked. "Otherwise, why are you so skilled?"

"You old man is so much nonsense!" Louis said angrily, "Isn't he telling the truth?"

Belle laughed out loud.

"Okay, we don't have to think about him so much. After all, what we're after is only a qualified backup guard. If he's not qualified, Danny can barely use it." Louie took a last look at the TV and gave it to Chris Jackson. "If he's qualified and even outperforms expectations, for example, fulfilling his potential as a pick, guess how Boston would react?"

The Knicks' coaching staff ended the discussion and went home.

Louis saw Lu Wuxia on the court at the Blue Palace.

Whenever he gets the chance, this kid will sneak to the Blue Palace to play, pretending to be a member of the Knicks.

"Dad, shall we go home later?"

Lu Wuxia was sweating profusely, and was reluctant to part with the Blue Palace.

"Is there no stadium at home?" (Chinese)

"There is no atmosphere.. I like the feeling of playing here." (half Chinese, half English)

Louis chose to sit on the sidelines, and his son had no reason to refuse.

Just by watching Lu Wuxia dribble on the court, you can see how much he loves the sport.

It's a pity that Louis still can't see his qualifications.

Although he has better resources than 99.9% of his peers, it is hard to say whether he will be able to play professionally in the future.

Lu Wuxia is very dedicated to basketball, but he is very diligent in choosing idols. He loves Jordan's jump shot, The Tragedy's ShowTime, Bird's big heart, and Benj and Ewing's series of moments at MSG.

His favorite player might be Benj.

"Benj is dribbling in the middle!" Lu Wuxia explained to himself as he patted the ball, "He faced the tragic master, forced a breakthrough, made a jumper, oh! Oh! The Conqueror made that shot, and the Lakers were killed! !"

He was overexcited, stepped on his sweat, and fell to the ground.

※※※

Outside the Blue Palace, Louis walked slowly with his son on his back.

"Dad, I want to play in the NBA in the future." Lu Wuxia, 6 years and 7 months old, said, "I want to play better than everyone else, win many, many games, and get a cooler outsider than Uncle Benj. No."

"Cooler than Benj's nickname? That might be difficult," Louis said. "ReignMan?"

"It's Sean Camp's nickname, I don't want to be like everyone else."

"Then you're embarrassing me." Louis smiled. "What do you want people to call you?"

"God?"

Louis almost imitated Liu Bei and threw his son, but Liu Bei was using his son as a pendant. He was completely shocked~www.novelmt.com~ A child who wants to be called God?

"Isn't it a bit arrogant?" Lu Wuxia asked innocently.

"is a bit."

"What about... the Son of God?"

Dude, round the corners and boast that Daddy is God, right?

Louie said happily: "This is not bad... No, it should be said, it is too good."

For Lu Wuxia, this day was just an ordinary day in his magnificent life.

But for Louie, no matter how many years have passed, as long as someone asks about it, he will happily recall the day before the 1991 draft, when the 6-year-old Lu Wuxia discussed with him the future of professional basketball. What kind of nickname is there for the night.
