The Rest, Only Noise

On August 1, the Knicks announced that Louie would stop exercising his powers as head coach and begin an indefinite rest.

The Knicks will be headed by Rudy Tomjanovich, the Louie's head coach.

Personnel director Buford said: "We hope fans will support the decision of Coach Lu, who has worked hard for this team for nearly a decade."

It's a done deal, and the fans have to support it if they don't support it.

Moreover, the official only said that Louie stopped exercising the powers of the head coach, Tomjanovich is the acting coach.

In other words, when Louis rests well, he will come back.

This not only gives fans hope, but also allows Louie not to be too decisive.

In fact, the reason why Louis stopped exercising the power of the head coach instead of giving up the position of the head coach is because he still has a contract, and his contract is not small.

Now, despite the pick, the Knicks still have to pay him.

Louis accepted this arrangement based on the principle that a knife that came for nothing should not be provoked for nothing.

Since then, Tomjanovich has come to the fore as an acting coach.

Behind this is a full 13 years of hard work.

Rudy was rewarded handsomely.

Louie left him with a team with no solution.

Especially after the summer operation, the Knicks' talent and immediate combat power have overflowed. How to arrange the rotation in the new season and who will enter the dnp before the start of each game will test the coach's coaching ability.

On August 11, Louis flew to Boston.

Since 1984, Louie won't come to Boston except for road games during the season.

Here is where he made his name.

It stands to reason that when he returns here, it should be as natural as returning home.

But unfortunately, no one here will treat him as a family member, and if a basketball fan sees Louie on the street, he may even trouble him.

Because in the eyes of many Bostonians, the culprit of the Celtics' decline is Louie.

He left without hesitation in the heyday of this franchise, then spent three years building a terrifying team to end the Celtics' dominance, and then again in the famous Chris Jackson trade earn a lot of money.

And what did Boston get?

They got the news that Thomas was traded.

They got the news that Reggie Lewis was traded.

And those two deals ended up giving them what they called a tragic combination of birds—the **** Billy Owens.

Reggie Lewis and Steve Smith both became All-Stars last season, while Owens has stalled since his rookie season.

To be fair, Owens is an above-average starter.

He's not a star, but a useful player.

It's just that the Celtics got him too hard.

The Owens hype went bust with it, meaning the Celtics were doomed to squander the last peak of Sampson and Bird.

After the 1992-93 season, Bird announced his retirement.

The Celtics don't plan to let Bird retire like this. Anyway, it's a goat. Even if he wants to retire, he should retire with the cheers of the home fans, instead of being killed in the playoffs. I ran to the reporter and said, "I'm not playing anymore."

Therefore, in this boring off-season, the Celtics did not idle, and while the heat was still there, held a "Larry Bird Night".

Louis was also one of the invited guests.

Such a so-and-so night is a special product handed down in the 1970s. The specific process is a bit like the jersey retirement ceremony of the Spurs gdp.

Find a bunch of old people to come to the scene to tell the story of yourself and the parties in front of the big guy.

Louie also attended Nate Thurmond's Night at Ridgefield Coliseum in 1977. Then, the following summer became a scout for the Celtics.

Celtic food is uglier than Louie imagined.

Not to mention the expensive admission tickets, and the commemorative goods for all audiences are also ridiculously expensive.

It was a painting by Roy Neiman (leroyneiman), a sports painter, specializing in all kinds of art paintings of sports stars.

Tonight, of course, the protagonist of his painting is Bird.

The paintings sold on site are reproductions, only with Bird's signature on them.

Such a painting, which usually sells for $20 outside, would be considered expensive, but it was sold for $1,030 just because of Bird's signature.

There were many guests at the scene, and Louie was the only one who was booed by the audience when he appeared.

"Coach Lu, I really hope to be hated by them like you."

The tragic master, who was also invited to the scene, had a bitter expression.

When the tragic player appeared, the Bostonians at the scene were as excited and cheered as if they saw their relatives.

Louis spread his hands and said, "Who told you to retire early? If you retire later, the Lakers should be able to win every matchup with the Celtics now."

"What's the point of that?" The Tragic Master shook his head.

The Celtics have undoubtedly become his inner demon.

But he and the Lakers don't seem to have the chance to avenge the Celtics again.

At least this generation of Lakers will definitely not be able to seek revenge from this generation of Celtics.

Because they are no longer competitive at the top level, two key figures have also retired

Boston celebrities and Byrd's close friends came to the center of the venue to give speeches one after another.

The representative elected within the Celtics is naturally Auerbach.

Auerbach is very familiar with this kind of activity, because he has participated in it many times.

Every time, his lines will have this sentence: "Although I was a coach, but that was many years ago, not coaching Larry personally is the biggest regret in my life, because he is the greatest player."

Auerbach's speech caused thunderous applause.

Then it was the Tragic's turn.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Although the tragic man was wearing a Lakers jacket, Bird saw that he was wearing a Celtics T-shirt inside, so he stepped forward and tore off his Lakers jacket, exposing the Celtics T-shirt inside. in front of everyone.

The audience in the garden burst into laughter, and so did the tragedian.

Then, he used that rare eloquence to tout Bird in all directions without dead ends.

The finale is also the most classic of the game: "Larry Bird once said...there will be another Larry Bird. Larry, never, never, never another Larry Bird Virtuous."

Louie was one of the dozen or so guests sitting on the stage, and it felt special to watch the tragic man make such a confession to the old enemy who had suppressed him all his life.

He watched Bird and Tragic enter the Union.

Bird signed with the Celtics as if it were just yesterday, when he was just a small scout under Jones.

14 years on ~www.readwn.com~ many things have changed.

The era of the Lakers and Celtics has long since ended, and teams such as the Knicks and the Blazers are the main theme of the new era.

Bird and the tragic retiring seem to have vanished along with something in Louie's memory.

The black and white duo is ready to open a new chapter in his life, and Louis's heart is also turbulent.

Does this also mean that he is also ready to start the next journey in his life?

After all, no one can go all the way.

Not to mention Louis, the fickle man?

ps: There is only one chapter today. I had a fever yesterday, and I struggled for a day. I will recover well today.
