The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 780 son of god
,!
"Which one?"
Louis picked up the phone and asked.
"Coach Lu, it's me."
Louie has perfectly memorized Dave Gavitt's voice.
"Oh, Dave, I don't know what you're calling me for?" Louie asked knowingly when he came up.
"We have seriously considered your asking price ... it is not unacceptable."
Louis:? ? ?
Is Auerbach dead or really out of business?
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."
Counter-offering is normal, and Louis immediately asked, "How do you want to modify it?"
"Modify the 1996 first-round pick swap to a protected first-round pick, top 15 protected."
"No, Dave, I don't think you will be reduced to that point by 1996." Louis didn't expect such a condition.
Originally, it was a first-round pick swap. If the Celtics' record remains the same, the pick will definitely be higher than the Knicks. At that time, the Knicks will exchange their first-round picks with them. But at least they still have the Knicks' draft picks.
If it is such a revised law, although they can avoid working for the Knicks, how can they be sure that they will not be competitive by then? If there is still competitiveness and the record is not bad at that time, the pick must be after the 20th place. At that time, not only will the Knicks be given the draft pick for nothing, but there will be no consolation prize. .
"This is our internal decision."
"Well, I respect your decision. Anyway, I'm from Boston, and I have feelings for it."
Gavitt doesn't trust Louie at all.
"If this is what you want, I have no problem, just do as you say."
The two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone.
Baylor's eyes stared like cow eggs: "It's done?"
Louis scratched his forehead, "That's right."
"What kind of transaction method?"
Louie informed Baylor of the details of the deal.
Unexpectedly, the old boy looked at Louis with disappointment on his face: "I thought you could really kill Boston, but you didn't make much money. Why are you not pursuing more and more? It can't be true Have you softened your heart when you met your old club?"
"You are soft-hearted, sir!" Louis stood proudly on the desk, "I have given you enough sweetness, I can even trade myself, and a mere Boston can make me soft-hearted? You don't go out to inquire, I am Hannibal in New York Is it in vain?"
The deal between the Knicks and the Celtics was confirmed and announced by the league half an hour later.
The Knicks sent the 11th and 13th picks in the first round and the 27th pick in the second round to Boston in exchange for Chris Jackson, the 1994 first-round pick and the 1996 restricted pick.
As soon as the news came out, there were not many applause for the Knicks.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Knicks have no place to sign a newcomer, so they make a deal with their old club, get a parallel import, and ask for some first-round meaning.
This is the way of the world.
Few took the deal seriously.
Lewis Shafier quickly called and wailed: "Coach Lu, if your first round is useless, you can trade with us, isn't it just for the first round in the future? We can also produce two."
"And, we're not going to set any limits."
This is the value of the first-round pick in the draft year.
Even if it's just the 11th and 13th picks, there are people rushing for them.
"I'm sorry, Lewis, you really don't have any players I'm interested in." Louis said, "Let's work together next time."
"A player who is interested?" Shafier was shocked, "It won't be Chris Jackson, right? Coach Lu, why are you interested in him? I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you for not letting me choose this guy , if we took him with the third pick last year, I really can't imagine the consequences!"
Everyone's reaction made Louis realize that maybe this deal was really agreed by Auerbach.
Chris Jackson has no value except for being the No. 3 pick.
He is already recognized as a parallel importer.
What is the value of parallel imports that have been inspected? Can it be worth the early first round of two draft years? Of course not, the price increase is necessary.
Therefore, it may be wrong to conclude that Gavitt has taken over the operation of the Celtics based on this transaction, but Gavitt is taking over the Celtics management, that is for sure.
"Trust me, Lewis." Louis said confidently, "Some garbage is not garbage, but we haven't realized its value and use yet."
"Of course, I absolutely believe in you, Coach Lu, if there is such a good thing next time, please contact me as soon as possible."
Louis didn't bother to listen to his complaint anymore, and after he finished speaking, he hung up the phone for any reason.
On the night when the transaction was completed, Louis stayed in the Blue Palace to work overtime.
He joins Tomjanovich, Zhao Yuanzheng, Billy Donovan, Van Gundy, Doug Mo and Baylor to replay Jackson's best and worst games with the Hornets last season.
The best game sees all his strengths, the worst game sees all his flaws.
After everyone watched his best game, Tomjanovich said with emotion: "We have been looking for a player who can decisively shoot and punish the opponent after calling the pick-and-roll and meeting the opponent's defense. Isn't it coming?"
Van Gundy has different opinions: "But he lacks discipline and tactical quality on the court, his shots are random, and his defensive habits are also very bad."
"These are not problems." Lao Mo smiled, "We have a lot of good defensive players to help him wipe his ass."
When they watched Jackson's worst game, he made 4 of 18 shots in 25 minutes, scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
Van Gundy shook his head and said: "This is where his data comes from. He is an irresponsible player, an arrogant offensive player, an incompetent guard, and a parallel importer whose self-perception has been affected by the low-level college game. We Should be traded..."
"Wait, wait." Louis interrupted him with a smile, "Jeff, don't say that, I think he's alright."
Van Gundy said: "I respect your opinion, Coach Road, but I also reserve my opinion."
"What about the others, what do you think?" Louis asked.
After watching Jackson's worst game, Tomjanovich lowered his expectations: "In any case, he is the third pick, and he only played for one year. We should observe 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 strong enough, and he is still adapting to the confrontation intensity of the NBA, but he already has the ability to fight in the NBA. Ability to shoot at a high level of defense. His long-range threat is impressive, a very creative ball handler. He needs more pick-and-rolls and screens, and we have the most pick-and-rolls and screens."
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 also flatter Coach Lu when you sleep?" Baylor joked. "Otherwise, how can you be so proficient?"
"You old **** talk a lot of nonsense!" Louis said angrily, "Isn't he telling the truth?"
Baylor laughed out loud.
"Okay, we don't need to think so much about him. After all, what we are after is only a qualified backup guard. If he is not qualified, Danny can barely use it." Louie took one last look at the TV and just gave it to Chris Jackson. "If he is qualified, and even performs beyond expectations, for example, fulfilling his potential for this pick, guess how Boston will react?"
The Knicks coaching staff ended the discussion and went home.
Louis saw Lu Wuxia on the court of the Blue Palace.
This kid would sneak out to play in the Blue Palace whenever he got the chance, pretending to be a member of the Knicks.
"Daddy, can we go home later?"
Lu Wuxia was sweating profusely from practice, and was reluctant to part with Lan Gong.
"Is there no court 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 this request.
Just by watching Lu Wuxia dribble on the court, you can see how much he likes this sport.
It's a pity that Louis still can't see his aptitude.
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 extremely fickle when it comes to choosing idols. He likes Jordan's jump shot, the showtime of the tragedian, Bird's big heart, and a series of wonderful moments created by benj and Ewing in msg.
His favorite player is probably benj.
"Benj is dribbling the ball in the middle!" Lu Wuxia patted the ball and explained to himself, "He faced the tragic master, forced a breakthrough, and made a jumper, oh yeah! Oh yeah! The Conqueror made that goal, and the Lakers were killed! !"
Overexcited, he stepped on his own sweat and fell headlong.
※※※
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, who is 6 years and 7 months old, said without knowing his superiority, "I want to play better than everyone else, win many, many games, and get a foreigner who is cooler than Uncle Benj." Number."
"Cooler than benj's nickname? It might be a bit difficult." Louis said, "Reignman?"
"This is Sean Kemp's nickname, I don't want to be the same as others."
"Then you can't help me." Louis smiled~www.mtlnovel.com~What do you want people to call you? "
"God?"
Louis almost followed Liu Bei's example and threw his son, but Liu Bei used his son as a pendant, and he was completely shocked.
A kid with a nickname called God?
"Aren't you a little arrogant?" Lu Wuxia asked innocently.
"is a bit."
"What about... the Son of God?"
Good guy, you beat around the bush and boasted that Dad is God, right?
Louis said happily: "This is not bad...no, it should be said, it's great to get it."
To Lu Wuxia, this day was just an ordinary day in his magnificent life.
But for Louis, 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 Lu Wuxia, who was only 6 years old, discussed with him the hope of playing professional basketball in the future. What kind of nickname is there for the night.
