The Rest, Only Noise

Celtics fans at the scene had mixed feelings when Louie gave his speech.

They wanted to boo Louie, but it was a holy moment.

There are a lot of people who have been booed at moments like this, and Louie has had an indelible contribution to the Celtics compared to those people.

Perhaps because of Louie's past achievements with the Celtics, fans did not choose to boo him at this time.

This allowed Louie to finish his story with Bird as normal as anyone else.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the audience, Bird accompanied his wife Diane, hugged his son Connor, and watched his No. 33 jersey slowly rise.

This is Bird's farewell ceremony and the way the Celtics make money.

Although Louie couldn't get their bills, judging from the audience at the scene and the sold-out souvenirs, Larry Bird's Night would have brought them more than 2 million to say the least.

Players are an asset to a team, and it’s okay to squeeze value out.

But Louie didn't think he would treat Wilson and Ewing that way.

It's not a question of revenue, it's a question of how management views the players.

Celtic players in the Auerbach era wouldn't have treated heroes like that, and while it wasn't a degrading act, it tainted the sacred rite of retirement.

It would be understandable if the retirement ceremony doubled the Lakers' earnings like Kobe Bryant did in 2016, but it was only $2 million.

That's not even enough to sign an average starter.

Dave Gavitt sees Bird as a tool to make money, even if it's a petty one.

When it was all over, Louie asked Bird out, right at the bar they used to go to.

"Are you still drinking Heineken?" Louis asked.

Bird shook his head and said, "I don't drink much, it's not good for my back."

A back injury is the only reason Bird would choose to retire at this time.

Louie had thought that the influence of his butterfly would change the outcome of Bird's injury, but perhaps it was the reason he left the Celtics too early, and Bird escaped nothing.

Although Bird had Sampson by his side, it only lasted him one more season.

Now, he can't stand it at all.

"What's your plan next?"

Louie knew Bird would be a good practitioner even if he didn't play.

"Dave wants me to stay and shine," Bird said. "That's my plan."

Bird respects Garvet very much, but Louie doesn't feel Garvet's respect for Bird.

Even Bird's retirement ceremony was held as a money-gathering party. Although this proved his business ability, it also exposed the idea that he didn't care about Bird and other green achievements.

What is the future of following this worm?

"What's going on further? I don't think you're going to be a high-level executive in Boston." Louie spread out, "Dave Gavitt only cares about petty profits, he wants your reputation, not your name. your ability."

Bird asked, "What do you want to say?"

"If you are planning to coach, you should go to the best coaching staff to learn from the experience."

Bird looked at him playfully: "You mean the Knicks? Didn't you stop coaching?"

"What are you thinking? I just want to rest for a while, not retiring."

Bird's attitude made Louis see the possibility of poaching.

"You're resting, who am I to study with?" Bird asked arrogantly.

"Hill bumpkin, you are so arrogant! You may be a goat among players, but coaching is a completely different job, let alone me, even the worst coach in the league is better than you, not to mention New York, it's Rudy who takes over the coaching job, you know Rudy?"

Bird said softly, "The job Dave has arranged for me seems more promising than running errands for Rudy."

"What did he ask you to do?"

"Being a player development coach."

"Heh, the worst job ever."

"Aren't you Ralph's development coach back then?"

"Oh? Then I'd like to ask, Larry Legend, who do you want to be the development coach for the Celtics? Billy Owens?"

Byrd was speechless.

But to let him leave Boston to join his sworn enemy, the psychological barrier is not immediately over.

"You die of this heart, I will never work for New York, even watching the gates of the Greek Academy is more satisfying than being a coach in New York!"

Bird is most loyal to the Celtics now, and will not listen to what Louis says.

Louis is in no hurry, time will prove him right, and even if he throws Bird a bone, he will pick it up.

The arrogant hillbilly always has to go through the beatings of the city people to change his mind.

Louie did not persuade Bird any more, and recalled the story of the year with him in the bar, and then went back to their respective homes.

In mid-August, Louie appeared on the set of Ewing's autobiographical film.

He said he wouldn't play himself in the movie.

However, he can, like Stan Lee, make an inconsequential passerby as a cameo in the movie.

Louie, played by a passerby, is a mean fan, and he strongly criticized Ewing's performance on the court: "Patrick, you didn't improve at all in college, you didn't get stuck, you didn't rebound, you just made jump shots with funny poses. , I don't know how John Thompson taught you!"

Ewing responded in the play: "I'm fed up with your groundless accusations, fuckoff!"

It's a tribute to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's famous film, "Falling in the Sky".

When Louis saw this dialogue, he wanted to hug the screenwriter and kiss it, it was so well written.

The director of the film is Miller's lifelong enemy Spike Lee.

Miller declined to participate because of Lee's presence.

Louie, who has no acting experience, asks the big director how to act like a mean fan.

Director Li Da said: "It's similar to the way you usually stand on the sidelines and scold Patrick, but you need to be more restrained."

Louie has reason to suspect that Director Lee is a fan of Ewing, and takes this to express that his attitude towards Ewing is too bad.

"I think your attitude towards Reggie is also very mean, and you are a fan, I think it is more appropriate to imitate you?" Louie asked with a smile.

"No, you can't imitate."

The director became serious.

Can't imitate? Is he underestimating me?

"why?"

"Because I hate Reggie from the bottom of my heart, and it can't be imitated."

"After Reggie saved us in game 6, do you still hate him?"

"Yes."

Although Louie plays a passerby in the movie, he is a significant passerby. There are many scenes throughout the whole process, but basically as long as he shows his face, he is complaining about Ewing.

And he and Ewing's face-to-face dialogue is only the one above.

It took Louis three days to finish.

In the words of the great director, he acted too well.

Those who complained about Ewing were completely from the heart, and there was no trace of performance at all.

Ewing threw a party for Louie in a bar half a kilometer away on the day Louie was done.

The party was attended by Spike Lee, Camp, Reggie Williams, McHale, Rodman and the rest of the crew on set.

When the fun hits, they start giving names to Ewing's films.

McHale played with homophonic stalks: "How about "The Beginning and the End"?"

"good."

"It just doesn't sound like a sports movie."

"What about The Jamaican Monster?"

"What do you mean? Am I a monster?" Ewing glared at Rodman.

"You look like a monster now."

Louie didn't comment because he didn't even know the plot synopsis.

You can call it anything, it doesn't matter to him anyway.

Obviously it was a party for his role to finish, but Louis was the most silent one.

Rodman pulled two flesh and blood and left.

Camp said to go to the bathroom, but half an hour later, he was nowhere to be seen.

Director Li Da took the actresses in the play to the VIP room to review the lines.

McHale was busy lining up with the DJ at the bar, and he thought it was because the DJ was playing bad songs, so he had no interest at all.

Ewing and Louie were the only ones left in the big box full of people.

"Where's your girlfriend?" Louis asked.

"I've been abstinent lately," Ewing said.

"Did you succeed?"

"It just failed yesterday, so today is a new beginning."

Obviously, Ewing's abstinence plan, like Louie's weight loss plan, will fail because of a weak individual will.

Louie was speechless, and Ewing was speechless.

"When are you going to come back?"

"Do you mean?"

"Come back and be a coach."

This amused Louis.

"Are you trying to persuade a guy who is enjoying his vacation to the fullest to go back to work?" Louie scolded with a smile, "You are such a heavyweight bastard!"
