The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 91: What exactly do you want?

,

The Celtics champion, Jean Larry Bird, along with Wayne Gretzky, became a major name in North American sports in 1981.

One of them was an NBA superstar who won mvp+fmvp in the second grade, and the other was the best ice hockey player in the world since he was 19 years old.

The Celtics couldn't go home happily.

At this time, they did not have a special plane. To return to the Celtics from Houston, they needed to pass through St. Louis and then fly back to Boston.

Players are still reminiscing about the joy of becoming champions, and the coaching staff and management are already pondering the upcoming draft.

Isaiah Thomas is Louie's top recommendation.

But there are many disagreements within the team.

Because Thomas is too short and too thin, and his smile is memorable.

Thomas's smile began with a pair of deep dimples that surreptitiously extended from either side of his face to his sparkling eyes. He grinned no matter the circumstances.

Countless scouts and opponents have misjudged him for his mild smile and mediocre physique. It's hard to believe that scouts ignore his illustrious resume. At St. Joseph High School in Westchester, Illinois, his team was 73-15. At Indiana University, Thomas, a sophomore, was instrumental in winning the NCAA championship last spring.

He had already decided to enter the 1981 draft, and Converse gave him a million-dollar endorsement deal.

He is like the magician II.

Moreover, his addition will make up for the Celtics' last shortcoming: the number one position.

Louie shudders just thinking about the Celtics' future lineup: Thomas, John Long, Bird, Maxwell/Sampson, Laimbeer.

However, at the briefing, it was implicitly suggested that choosing white people would be more helpful in attracting fans to the arena to buy tickets.

This is simply a ridiculous idea.

Because Bird joined the Celtics, the team has sold out of home tickets for two consecutive seasons.

Racism in the city of Boston is deep-rooted, but what they care about is the color of the top players.

As long as the team is represented by white people like Bird and Havlicek and Cowens, fans will buy it.

Listen to them recommending Tom Chambers, a Griffin-like forward; Rolando Blackman, a swingman with great shooting ability; and Mark Aguirre, the top pick and a swingman. People; Buck Williams, a strong and ready-to-play wing; Danny Warnes, a hardworking white forward who is sure not to do well in the nba...

Louie is tired of arguing.

"I have only one candidate, Isiah Thomas, I've said enough about his merits, I'm too lazy to say more, I just know he's the best person in the position we need most, I don't care The color of his skin, I only care how much value he can bring. I think he has more potential than Andrew Toney, and if you have any doubts, watch him play."

When Louis moved out of Tony, he wanted everyone to recall how high his "bidding rate" has been since he entered the industry.

To put it humbly, "only" 100%.

John Long, Cheeks, Tony, Laimbeer, all became excellent players.

Tony almost beat the Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals.

Louie's strong speech made Auerbach make up his mind.

Two days later, the Celtics selected Isiah Thomas with the second overall pick in the draft.

At that moment, Louie knew very well that when the Celtics developed smoothly to their peak, there would be no second team in the league that could match them.

Including the Lakers.

Perhaps, he has completely changed the pattern of the 1980s.

Because the bad boy army that ended the era of magic bird hegemony has been strangled in the cradle by him.

The two souls of that team are now green-blooded...

The draft is over, and Louie's season has come to an end.

He participated in the team's championship celebration.

Bill Fitch gets more compliments these days than he's ever had in his entire life.

Various newspapers, magazines, sports observers and commentators have claimed that he is the best coach in active service.

He changed tactics in game 5, allowing the Celtics to turn the tide.

Fitch laughed at the compliments from the outside world and didn't say Louis' name. Because adopting the advice of the assistant coach was originally one of the authority of the head coach.

His smugness sparked a new round of conflict with Auerbach.

As he begins to reach out to front office, he wants to get the operating rights to dictate how the team operates in the offseason.

No longer a pure outsider, he led the team back to a glorious championship stage.

But this is something that Auerbach cannot tolerate.

So, at the championship celebration, when it was Auerbach’s turn to speak, he gave an official speech, praising the team from top to bottom, and then hit Wang Bang: “I have to solemnly introduce the coaching staff to you. One of them, he's a great scout, a great coach, has a rare professionalism, and it's hard to believe that he's so young - Louis, come here!"

Louis never imagined that he would be a knife in the tug-of-war between Auerbach and Fitch.

Louis was forced to come to the front.

"It was he who provided the key strategy to turn our losses into the Eastern Conference finals. This young man has done many great things, but many people don't know him. Now, let him speak!"

Standing in front of the stage, facing the attention of tens of thousands of people, Louis felt nervous.

He gradually understood that victory can cover up problems and suppress contradictions, but only temporarily. Just like the countless painkillers that ruined Bill Walton's career, he insisted on defending the championship title with an injury, and eventually fell down, and the injury worsened. This completely broke him and the team, and the Blazers' voyage stopped before it even started.

The conflict between Auerbach and Fitch will tear this team apart.

Louie's speech, there are many official language, he did not brag, making it as if Fitch stole his credit, but did not reject Auerbach's kindness. He admits to making a plan in the Eastern Conference finals, but doesn't overstate the effect.

Auerbach has already made him famous, and he needs no more.

After the championship celebration, Louis took the initiative to ask Auerbach for leave, he wanted to rest for a while.

"Did the video captain say anything to you after that?" Auerbach asked playfully.

Louispi said with a smile, "No, he didn't say a word."

"Listen, I deliberately sabotaged your relationship with him," Auerbach sneered. "You should notice that he's about to recruit a new assistant."

Louie noticed, and Fitch made the right move.

The head coach doesn't have to do everything from offense to defense. If he has an excellent assistant coach who specializes in offense and defense, he doesn't have to worry about these complicated things. People, pre-match mobilization, ranting about underperforming players and pouring chicken soup can get results.

That's what future nba coaches do.

Assistant coaches are the tools of the coach. They use their talents to help the coach win games, and then the praise and applause belong to the other side.

Louis was not angry at all, rather, it was inevitable.

This is the prerogative of the head coach. As assistant coaches, their suggestions are adopted, which is already a recognition of themselves, allowing them to practice their ideas on the field to prepare for the future.

But this approach, in Auerbach's view, is illegal.

He intends to train Louis. If there are more assistant coaches in the team, Louis's right to speak will be weakened. Fitch was smug, apparently forgetting who was behind the scenes in the Eastern Conference finals.

"I totally understand what he's doing, Reed." Louie laughed. "If nothing else, I'll go back first."

Auerbach couldn't see what Louis was thinking.

The young man completely hid his mind.

"Go, have a good rest."

In Auerbach's view, Louis is too young, he must have extraordinary talent and talent, but his heart is always closed.

Three years on, and Auerbach still doesn't see what Louis wants.

He has made great contributions to the rise of the Celtics, and half of the entire lineup is the players recommended by him~www.novelmt.com~ During the playoffs, he also provided key strategies to turn the situation around.

But he never took credit for himself. Every time after the incident, he took out his hand and let himself stand in the corner like a marginal person.

Fitch took all the credit for the title and had to recruit more assistants to advise him. Auerbach thought Louie would be furious, but he didn't respond.

So he aggressively carried Louie out at the championship celebration to make fans aware of his presence.

However, Louis still did not make a substantial counterattack to Fitch.

He let Fitch take the credit, and he just came to his office and asked for time off.

Auerbach couldn't understand Louis, and this should not be the steadiness that a 21-year-old should have.

He was too complacent.

"What do you want, kid?" Auerbach mused.
