The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1485 Fight of Generation M
Latest website: At first, Louie was not used to flying to Washington every Tuesday to attend a lunch meeting composed of middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old.
When he found that the adults who came to the luncheon were either rich or expensive, he used it as a networking place to broaden his network.
Soon, he discovered that he could really speak freely here.
For example, the chief of a Secret Service branch publicly expressed his distaste for radicals at a lunch meeting, and he didn't worry that anyone would get his words out.
Moreover, Louis quickly used his status in the arena to become a core member of the luncheon.
The big guys start with Auerbach, whose opinions and stories are the ones most worth hearing, with Louie a close second.
If the conversation involved basketball, Louie's priority would even be number one.
Especially when Auerbach talked about the second dynasty of the Celtics in the 1980s, Louis was almost everywhere.
From this, everyone learned that the 18-year-old Louis dug out John Long as a stepping stone to enter the Celtics scouting department. In the following year, he found Bill Laimbier, who was not optimistic at the time, from the University of Notre Dame, and then discovered the operational loopholes of the Pistons through the famous Karl compensation deal, allowing Auerbach to take the opportunity to hit the Pistons hard. The opponent made a sum, so the Pistons had to send out more draft picks.
Those two picks eventually evolved into Ralph Sampson and Isiah Thomas. And Sampson decided to participate in the 1981 draft after Louie lobbied. ． ．
History has credited Auerbach with the credit, but those at the lunch already knew that Louie was the one who made the difference.
Auerbach never shied away from this point, and he didn't need to flaunt his greatness by claiming credit. Louie finds a kind of cleansing of the mind during the lunch meeting that is similar to that during meditation.
He can relax and freely express his opinions here, and he has made many friends because of it. Moreover, after Louis boarded a private jet, he was even more open to lunch meetings.
Every Tuesday, he can arrive in Dole, China at the fastest speed. Recently, Louie discovered a problem.
Paul Gaston also seemed to be a regular at the luncheon.
At the end of each lunch meeting, Gaston would deliberately find Luis to say a few more words, and the solicitation in his words was obvious.
Louis has not been moved by the other party so far.
It's not that Louis didn't think about coming back, but he quickly dismissed it. What are you going to do when you come back?
Many retired celebrities will have the idea of coming back again and again because of the boring daily life in retirement.
Louis has no troubles in this regard, because basketball has given him enough satisfaction, and he doesn't even know what else he can get from basketball.
Since officially holding the coach in the summer of 1983, he has created the best defensive team in history and introduced professional basketball into the defensive era; later, he built an invincible Galaxy Battleship in Los Angeles, and passed "Beautiful Basketball" Like John Wooden, he has established the status of a master. Although he failed to change the era from advocating defense to pursuing offense (the rules do not support it), the creativity and thinking of beautiful basketball have been learned and imitated by the majority of teams. The seed is still being planted, and when it matures, Louie will be everywhere in the NBA.
In the end, he led the Chinese team to defeat the thriving US team last summer and won the Olympic men's basketball gold medal inconceivably.
Louie really didn't know what else he could get in basketball.
Moreover, TNT's loose work arrangement made him more and more tired of the work intensity of NBA coaches. Every year, the training camp starts in mid-September and does not stop until mid-June of the next year to end the entire season.
As the godfather, Louie definitely can't rest at the end of the season, so he has to continue to work, to participate in the team's draft, to make plans for the offseason, to see what reinforcements and signings the team needs... That is to say, the Lakers were too strong in the last few years, and he had the idea of leaving as soon as the time came, so he didn't worry too much about this aspect.
But the work of the national team doubled his workload.
He was tired of thinking about how to play the next game day and night.
Sometimes he can't help thinking that it would be great if he could introduce a long-term replacement coaching agent.
When playing against a weak team, give it to the opponent to command. Before playing against a strong team, check the opponent's quality.
And this kind of thing is bound to be impossible.
As a coach, if you can't be on the front line for a long time, how can you get the players back, and how can you build up your prestige? If you don't have these two, how can you talk about coaching?
Although Louie's mind was filled with the idea of putting down and lying down, he never thought of announcing his retirement.
Because he doesn't know when he will suddenly get tired of the ordinary life and wants to find some stimulation for himself.
For this kind of thing, you have to step on two boats and leave yourself a way out, so that you can have no worries. Therefore, it can be said that Louis has no interest in Gaston's invitation.
But this guy is like a demon, like those licking dogs who have been issued a good man card and have not retreated without difficulty, playing stalking with him.
At the end of January, James Dolan called.
The Miami Heat want to get John Stockton through a trade, for which they are willing to send two unprotected first-round picks.
With Stockton's current strength, let alone two first-round picks, it is difficult to change one. The Heat want Stockton for nothing more than his ability to organize and connect.
A good point guard can make it easier to score inside.
Tim Duncan is now the hope of all Miami Beach, as long as it can reduce his burden, the Heat are willing to do anything.
Louie didn't think it was a good idea.
The reason for not trading Stockton is the same as Ewing, to leave a good name for the club.
Stockton is the oldest player in the team and the NBA's all-time assist leader. He has worked hard for the team for many years, and now he has only a few seasons to play. It is really a shame to trade someone.
Dolan Jr. accepted Louie's suggestion, and the Knicks stood still.
Subsequently, the NBA ushered in this year's All-Star Weekend.
This year's All-Star roster is dominated by the new generation and the middle generation.
The older players are pretty much all out except for Wilson and Sampson. Patrick Ewing's loss to the All-Star roster is symbolic.
Prior to this, he had been selected to the All-Star Game for 15 consecutive years, and now, he has also reached the age of being abandoned by fans.
According to the vote, Sampson would have lost the election.
But it is impossible for the league to miss this opportunity to use the legendary superstar's last All-Star Game as a publicity opportunity.
Sampson was selected into the All-Star Game, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com And, under the influence of force majeure, Shaquille O'Neal announced that he was "willing" to give up for this "living legend"@
Young doesn't play defense. Um. "
As for Steve Nash...Although he was also selected as an All-Star, he was basically transparent and ignored as always.
The competition in the All-Star Game shows one thing. The competition among Generation M is heating up rapidly, and many people are already looking forward to their meeting in the playoffs.
Tuesday
Louis took his own private jet to Washington as usual, and then called a taxi to drive himself to Chinatown.
The atmosphere of today's story is far stronger than in the past. When Louis just arrived, he heard Auerbach encouraging the veteran Haimi to tell his story.
"People talk about heroic moments in sports a lot, but I think what they should talk about most is someone like Hymie who can tell you what true heroism is."
