The Rest, Only Noise

,

Louie took three months off, and, during that time, the team still had to pay him.

This is what he deserves in return. Even if Bill Fitch is so proud now, he has to admit that without Louie, it would be difficult for the Celtics to win this championship.

Internally, Auerbach recognized Louis's contribution by summarizing the assembly.

So Louie offered to take a vacation, from the end of the championship celebrations to the start of preseason training camp, and Auerbach agreed.

Louis packed up and went back to his old home in Cleveland.

Li Xuanbing cooked him a table of good dishes.

After the grudge was eliminated, Louis became a good son again. Especially after Li Xuanbing had a serious understanding of the NBA, she found that Louis' achievements in the league were far beyond her imagination.

Although her impression of the league by and large has not changed, the league is the league and Louie is Louie.

Louis stayed at home for a few days and basically didn't go out.

He wants to take this time to replenish his foundation well.

If you want him to coach now, lead a team and be the head coach. He can't do better than Fitch because the things in his head aren't systematic.

This year's playoffs made him realize that the same ideas from the future were applicable in the '80s, as long as the lineup was right.

In the fourth quarter of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, when the 76ers insisted on using their Spider-Man lineup to shrink, the three Musketeers of Bird + Long + Ford effectively opened up the space for the position. This is them and the 76ers. Play a back-and-forth basis.

Louis felt sorry for the 76ers. They played the most mainstream basketball of this era. The talents on the flanks were unparalleled in the world. No second team could match the intensity and hardness of the game.

If the Celtics can't open their defense, they can't keep up with their fourth-quarter offensive and defensive intensity, and they can only be hanged in the end.

Now that the Celtics have won the championship, it is foreseeable that Fitch will deliberately alienate him after expanding the team of assistant coaches. After all, Auerbach started using him as a gun.

Therefore, their honeymoon period is almost over, and it will be difficult for Louie to speak in the game next, because there are many assistant coaches who are more professional than him will join the team.

He began to seriously think about how to build the team's system, and how his team should play in the future.

To this end, he bought a lot of game videos, some of which are videos of this year's playoffs, like the Kings and the Rockets, they are all playing slow-paced meat grinder games. If the Lakers and the Suns blew themselves up successively, they should not have reached this year's level. high.

There are also some college competitions.

College coaches are more tactical because there is plenty of time for them to complete the run.

In addition to career planning, Louis will also pay attention to investment opportunities.

Although he didn't know much about this line of business before crossing, he knew who knew about it.

"The Richest Man in Tomatoes" made him meet Buffett.

Last year Buffett paid $120 million for a 10% stake in Coca-Cola.

Fitness has become a popular leisure activity in the United States since the 1980s. Jane Fonda's fitness ads are all the rage.

The rise of fitness has driven the popularity of healthy eating.

Many experts believe that Coke is too high in sugar and should be drunk as little as possible, which has damaged the image of Coke. Therefore, the Coke company was in a recession during this period, and Buffett's investment last year was not optimistic.

To this end, Louis did some research.

When Buffett invested, Coca-Cola was selling for $10 per stock. At this time, not only did it not grow, but it also dropped a little, and it was already less than $10.

It took Louis half a month to spend $80,000 to buy almost 8,100 current shares.

In July, Wu Sansheng came to Cleveland to meet him.

Louis invited him to eat authentic Chinese food, and he was still cheap. Now he is preparing his graduation thesis, after graduation, he does not want to stay in the United States.

"Why? Didn't you always want to make achievements here?" Louis asked.

"It was like this at the beginning. Later, I felt that it was different from what I thought." Wu Sanxing talked about discrimination.

Moreover, there is no discrimination based on the concept of right and wrong. He was often treated as Japanese in Ohio, and then either insulted him with discriminatory language or made fun of him on top of the line.

Louis felt the irony in the context of the times.

The Chinese in the 1980s were ostracized, humiliated, and invaded as the Japanese, because Japanese car companies and the developed semiconductor industry hit the United States, causing industrial cities like Detroit to decline. The United States naturally cannot tolerate this, and Louis is familiar with the next scene. The United States began to sanction Japan on the grounds of national security, because if developed industries such as semiconductors are in the hands of other countries, there is a possibility of cutting off supplies to the United States during the war.

National security, economic sanctions, all East Asians in the U.S. are treated as Japanese.

Familiar, too familiar.

Louis understands Wu Sansheng's approach. Racial discrimination is a deep-rooted problem in the United States. It's just that Asians are more "docile", and in most cases they are bullied and swallowed up, so there is very little news about Asians being discriminated against. But discrimination has developed into all aspects of life, from job hunting to the image presented in film and television dramas, coupled with information learned by other races through the wrong channels to generate stereotypes about Asians - these problems are all in the United States. Hardworking Asian/Asian people know it. They can bear it, but at the moment, the economic war between the United States and Japan, although the Yamato nation is very simple, and the United States is destined to win this bloodless war, but the group of people in the White House can't control it. the people below.

It’s okay to be discriminated against. Now, the discrimination hidden in the bottom of the heart, or the discriminatory behavior that is inadvertently revealed, has been transformed into aggressive discrimination, which of course makes Wu Sanxing and these people uneasy.

Louis himself is in an environment where he doesn't often have the chance to meet those people, and he is a famous person in size. With his height of 1.9 meters and a strong figure, there are not many white-skinned pigs and **** who dare to provoke him.

Louis couldn't solve any problems for Wu Sansheng, so he could only drink and talk.

Three days later, Wu Sansheng returned to Ohio. Louis had not yet figured out what to do next, but the team from his hometown even sent him an invitation.

A dog-like but arrogant white representative of Cavaliers owner Ted Steppi invited Louie to join the Cavaliers.

They gave Louie a top scout contract for $50,000 a year.

Louie's three-time Celtics combined pay less than half that.

"Mr. Steppy is eager for talent. Since you are a native of Cleveland, why don't you want to contribute to your hometown?"

When Louis looked at the contract hesitantly, thinking about how to refuse it decently, the other party urged impatiently.

Louis suppressed the contract and said with a smile: "Mr. Steppi's desire for talent, of course I have heard, whether it is 5 years and 5 million for Otis Birdsang, or for Scott. Weidman's 5-year, 4 million, or in pursuit of some garbage, the first-round pick for the next four years from the bench, all let me see Mr. Steppi's desire for talent. To be honest, I am very scared , Considering the people he was looking at before, when he sees me at a glance, people will think that I am as 'excellent' as the person he saw before. This makes me tremble from the bottom of my heart, and I have to reject this A contract, such a good contract, should belong to someone as smart as your Excellency.”

Although what Louis said earlier was very similar to that, the latter few sentences revealed his true purpose.

The other party put away the contract and said angrily: "You will regret it, Oriental!"

"If I regret $50,000 with that stinky shit, I'm a failure too, get out of my house with your stinky shit."

Then he went away, and Louie felt bad.

$50,000 is tempting, but he's past the point of thinking about salary now.

With this contract, let him leave Boston and jump into the fire pit? You have to double the money anyway.

If Steppi spends 100,000 to dig him, Louis will seriously consider it, but there is a high probability that he will refuse. It's not that he doesn't want to repay the team in his hometown, it's really that the team can't support the wall in the mud.

Check them out this summer.

5 years and 5 million to dig Birdsang, this person is indeed an important player for the Kings. But in the process of the Kings black all the way to the Western Conference finals, he belongs to the absence of season reimbursement. What is the concept of 5 million in 5 years? That's 350,000 more than Bird's annual salary, which is the same as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

What are you doing with this money! !

And that 4 years and 5 million hit Weidman. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

That's the equivalent of giving Mambalaine Anderson a $15 million contract in 2000.

After these two signings, "Sports Illustrated" joined in the fun for the first time. They used a simple and rude title that made the Cavaliers famous in the history of the league "wtf" .

A more elegant translation should be "Damn, what the **** is this?"

If Louis was asked to translate, he would be more direct: "Silly ratio"

Before the crossing, Louis had no feeling for Cleveland. He only knew that this was James' hometown. After the crossing, Louis, influenced by his body, naturally had many ideas about this second hometown.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to interview scouts in the first place.

Judging from the current results, Louis can only spit to thank the rotten Jiba for saving his life. If he starts in this kind of team, his NBA coaching/management career may be over before it even starts.
