The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1659 dynasty
LATEST WEBSITE: The 2011-12 suspension continued to affect the start of the new season, as Louie's distant memory shows.
But no matter how fraught the labor-management war is, it will eventually make peace for the sake of profit.
In 2012, the end of the world predicted by the Mayans has been listed as the worst prophecy of the new century.
And Louie said in an interview: "The lockout will end soon, just like the end of the world will not come soon."
These are two very easy-to-fulfill prophecies.
Louis' "prophecy" came true earlier.
The labor and management chose to reconcile and continue to cooperate, and the new NBA season can finally be put on the agenda.
Although the league only leaves half a month for the teams to complete signings and transactions, there are still many questions waiting to be answered by the players.
The biggest doubt is that three years ago, the traditional 03 Platinum Generation, who grouped together in groups trying to challenge the "GM to build a team and players to compete for the championship", after ushering in three years of fruitless three years, their covenant is being challenged by the outside world .
At the beginning, they all signed a three-year contract. Now that the three-year period has come, everyone needs to make a choice.
Since James couldn't get the team status and tactical support he wanted in the Knicks, especially when he couldn't see the Knicks' championship prospects, he didn't have many choices.
Leaving New York was a difficult choice.
Even James, who has clear interests off the court and never hesitates, still has to hesitate.
However, what James didn't expect was that New York not only lacked interest in renewing his contract, but also openly recruited Lu Wuxia.
In order to recruit Lu Wuxia, the retired Knicks GM Elgin Baylor personally came out, and he made a guarantee to the media: "Let me tell you this, Wish has only two choices, either stay in Golden State or join New York .He was the one I grew up with, and I knew him."
Lu Wuxia is a well-deserved son of New York. Although he hurt enough New York fans when he was in the Celtics, it was many years ago. Fans are forgetful. As long as he can come, it will be regarded as that period of history It doesn't matter if it doesn't exist.
In James' view, this is the deportation order issued to him by New York.
Lu Wuxia grew up in New York. He had a successful cooperation experience with Wade. They both had championships. The opportunity to fulfill his pre-draft expectations.
James is a person who likes to hold fate tightly in his hands. He didn't want to wait for Lu Wuxia to kick him away with his bag. Before New York kicked him out, he quickly launched Plan B.
James became the first player of the platinum generation to announce his next home this summer.
"A letter from LeBron to Cleveland" began to flood the screen.
"I was just a kid from Northeast Ohio before anyone cared where I played"
That's right, James is going back to the Cavaliers.
Moreover, now is the best time to return to the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers have won the No. 1 lottery twice in the past three years. Last season, Blake Griffin proved his potential as a new generation of super power forward. , Before he awakened the will of the gods and smashed his youthful and ignorant promises, in order to build a team enough for James to compete for the championship, Owen was directly put on the shelf.
However, the 2012 NBA is at its lowest level of competitiveness since 1976.
The Pan-96 golden generation is getting old, only Durant can become a great player in the Mesozoic generation, and the new generation is not yet competitive.
Therefore, it is not easy to exchange Irving for a good price, because the 2011 draft itself is also a small year, and even the No. 1 pick is not so attractive.
Danny Ainge of the Grizzlies wanted to get an offer from Deron Williams, but James chose to leave New York because he couldn’t coexist with a guard who likes to hold the ball. what?
Unable to get a good offer, the witty James publicly stated before Irving's mentality was completely cracked: "We don't need to make any trades. If it is for a quick championship, I will not come back. Before that, I have done a good job. Once I have prepared, I will use my experience to help young people grow."
On the other hand, Lu Wuxia did not leave the Warriors, who seemed unable to succeed, as James thought.
On the second day after James returned to Cleveland, Lu Wuxia came to Los Angeles, and returned to Sunset Villa to talk with his old father about his feelings for the past three years.
Louis could see that the failures of the past three years made Wuxia doubt whether his original decision was correct.
However, even if he wavered, he had no intention of giving up halfway.
"Coach Cole has passed the team's interview, and he will become the new head coach of the Warriors." Lu Wuxia said, "I think I will be more comfortable playing under him."
Will Flawless be Kerr's Stephen Curry?
Louis was very interested in observing the development of the Warriors. He looked at his son and didn't give any advice or reminders. He just said: "What was the name of the training team that taught you to use your hips? Stephen also needs this."
"Accelerate the training camp." Lu Wuxia said.
Louie of the acceleration training camp remembered the name, and then smiled: "When Stephen learns this **** hip force, the Celtics will rise again. By that time, you will no longer have any chance to win the championship. At that time Before, come on."
When Stephen learns to use this **** hip, the Celtics will rise again?
Lu Wuxia thought he was hallucinating.
The Celtics were the runner-up last season. In the eyes of my father, this has already fallen?
As expected of an old monster who has ruled the alliance for thirty years.
Lu Wuxia complained rebelliously in her heart.
Lu Wuxia and Anthony renewed their contracts with the Warriors. After Wade signed with New York, he recruited Chris Bosh from the Jazz.
In addition to the decision of the platinum generation, there is also an old superstar who has to decide his future during the offseason.
That's Kevin Garnett.
With the Bryant team winning the championship, he has become one of the only two remaining members of the Generation of Miracles who did not successfully win the championship after independence.
However, Penny's peak was in the two years of 2007 and 2008. After that, Penny retired, Iguodala and others did not grow as expected, Richard Hamilton aged significantly, and even Garnett himself suffered serious injuries last season.
The Sun's championship window has been completely closed.
Just when Garnett decided to be loyal to the Suns and sign the last big contract with the team, Lu Wuxia's phone call made him change his mind.
Garnett chose to join the Warriors with a mid-level contract on the last day of the free market, which completely disrupted the pattern of the new season.
Lu Wuxia did not forget her father's "advice".
Although he does not believe that Curry can avoid unnecessary injuries and upgrade to another level of player after learning to use his hips, but the Celtics should not be underestimated. Waiting for their young players to grow up, they may usher in a dynasty again window period.
Therefore, in the 2011-12 season, Lu Wuxia was fully fired, averaging 30 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists per game in a single season, becoming the second player since the 1970s to average 30 points and 10 assists per game (1).
⑴I have forgotten whether there are players who have done this before (maybe Jordan?), if so, please point out.
In the finals, the Warriors faced the Celtics in seven games.
The Celtics, who have reached the finals for six consecutive years, finally lost in the quality of their stars.
When Lu Wuxia scored 45 and 52 points in the Tianwangshan battle and the decisive tiebreaker, Boston had to bear the result of losing the finals for two consecutive years.
Lambiel broke down emotionally. At first he thought he was here to occupy the pit.
Because Louis said that the Celtics are so strong, it doesn't matter whoever is the coach.
But who knew that changing the coach would lead to two consecutive championships?
"Our players are all good players, but I am not capable enough." Lambiel told the media.
That night, Lambiel went directly to Byrd to resign.
The next day, Lambiel received a text from Bird.
There is only one sentence in the text message: Louis is not allowed.
On the same day, Louis, who hadn't asked about team affairs for a long time, flew to Boston, first enlightened Lambiel, and then led the first offseason transaction.
The Celtics sent DeMar DeRozan to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Kawhi Leonard after a mediocre rookie season for a 2013 first-round pick and a 2014 first-round pick. Change.
The coaching staff had heated discussions when the deal happened. There is only one reason for sending DeRozan, and that is that he will enter the contract year next year. The Celtics with Manu Ginobili and Roy and the exploding salary did not leave his needs.
But apart from Mike Budenholzer, no one else agreed to switch Leonard back because Leonard's rookie season was so bad.
Louis was there at the time.
Since they couldn't argue, everyone turned to Louis and asked him for an idea.
Louis smiled and said, "I think it can be changed."
As for the draft and trade, as long as Louis nodded, there would be no doubts.
The only person who thought it was wrong was Byrd.
Bird had a bad impression of Leonard, "He is very timid. During the interview last year, his feet kept shaking, and he didn't even dare to look at me."
"Actually, he's quite courageous, but he's just a country bumpkin just like you."
You know what Bird would say to Louie.
"."
Afterwards, the deal was completed, and the Celtics traded back Leonard and draft picks from the Raptors.
Since the Spurs had a ready-made development strategy in his previous life, Louis has a long-term plan for Leonard. Start with defense, and then gradually increase the offensive role. Give three or four years to grow. By then, Curry should reach the peak It's over, Leonard can also perfectly replace veterans such as Kirilenko and Battier, and become the team's trump card at the third position.
After the transaction was completed, Louis patted Lambiel on the shoulder and said, "This kid will be your Benj."
Lambiel raised his eyebrows: "Then who will be our Patrick?"
"Stop Patrick, we don't need that kind of guy."
"Are you saying that because he didn't come to the meeting?"
"I said the same to his face!"
The Celtics in the 2012-13 season were strong. Their starters were Stephen Curry, Brandon Roy, Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, and Yao Yueban.
The bench lineup is too luxurious, including Andrei Kirilenko, Manu Ginobili, Marc Gasol, Goran Dragic, Patrick Beverley, Kawhi Leonard .
After the baptism of the accelerated training camp, Curry finally became what Louie remembered.
This season, Curry averaged 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists per game. It is very rare for the star-studded Celtics to achieve such data.
Lambiel led the team to a record of 72 wins and 10 losses. They won all the playoffs and advanced to the finals, where they would fight the Golden State Warriors again.
This is the seventh consecutive year that the Celtics have reached the finals. This time, the Celtics, who have been away from the championship for two years, did not let the championship slip away. The Celtics with a powerful lineup scored 4 to 1 1 victory over the Warriors, Curry was elected FMVP.
On the night of winning the championship, Louis said loudly to Lambiel who was crying with joy: "What did I say? Whoever becomes this coach can win the championship!"
Lambiel shouted excitedly: "I don't believe it, unless you let me coach this team for another ten years!"
This sentence actually has the meaning of testing whether Louis is considering a comeback.
But Louis responded without thinking: "Twenty years is fine!"
Coaching doesn't mean anything to Louie anymore, his coaching career is over, that's what he thinks.
When he stood on the championship platform again as the boss, he said into the microphone while holding the O'Brien Cup: "One championship is not enough for me. I hope they win more, two consecutive championships, three championships Consecutive championships, four consecutive championships, the more the better. This is the mission of the Celtics players. Our goal is not to win the championship. Winning the championship is just a small goal in our career. Our goal is a dynasty. Russell has his own dynasty. You have your own dynasty here, Wish and DeYoung have brought us another dynasty, Stephen, now you are going to start your own dynasty!"
This summer, the legendary president David Stern officially announced his retirement and assisted Stern's shadow president Garcia Lynn for many years to take over.
"Our goal is to make the next 30 years of the NBA better than the last 30 years."
The top management of the league began to change, but for the Celtics, Lambiel did not renew his contract with the Celtics.
This year's championship seems to have taken all of Lambiel's energy. He kept saying that he would coach for another ten years, but his body didn't allow it.
Lambiel's withdrawal made the voice of "we want Louis" reappear for a long time.
Hoping to get first-hand information, Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan joined Louie at the luncheon.
To Ryan's surprise, Louie's luncheon included not only NBA executives and Hall of Fame players~www.mtlnovel.com~, but also celebrities and dignitaries from all walks of life in the United States.
The topics they talk about are not limited to sports, and all social hot spots will become their talking points.
The most eloquent ones are Louis and the politicians attending the dinner party. Louis looks in a very good state of mind, not in a state of retirement at all, and he can talk about no matter what the topic is.
After a long time, Ryan asked Louis after the heated discussion had cooled down: "Coach Lu, do you have a comeback plan?"
At this time, Louis was about to light a cigar, and when he heard Ryan's question, he held the cigar in one hand, and spread the other hand helplessly, "Bob, I don't want to answer this question, but if I don't give you an answer, I will give you an answer." I know you'll keep asking. So, you can put what I'm going to say next into your article."
"I'm retired, don't miss me, Celtic will build a fourth dynasty no matter who coaches."
