The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 1133 Elgin and you can't compare

"Larry, how are you doing?"

No one's voice had ever made Bird so upset.

About eleven years ago, he had endured the sound for a whole year.

I'm glad he only coached the Celtics for one year before leaving, but Bird can't deny that the opponent's departure was the direct reason for the fall of the Celtics in the late 1980s.

"If you didn't make the call, I couldn't be better."

"Really? Do you really feel good? It turns out that you like being ignored so much. I misread you. Dignified Larry Bird is the kind of person who likes to lie on the credit of his past and spend the rest of his life. people."

Bird said angrily, "What's the matter with you?"

"I originally wanted to invite you to join my coaching staff. Now I'm a little hesitant. You treat yourself like a salted fish. Why do I want you to come?"

Byrd was furious.

"Number one, I quit my job and came home because I wanted to make a difference, but I'm not destined to do it in Boston! Number two, I've never been a salted fish, you've been doing nothing for the past two **** years, you're one Salted fish! Third, I don't want to join your coaching staff, let alone betray Boston and go to work in Los Angeles!"

Louie's tone became sarcastic*, and his words were no longer polite.

"Hillbilly, after so many years, you still look like a short-sighted countryman. If you want to make a difference after you retire, you shouldn't choose to start in Boston. Where is Boston? It's Reed's lair, He 'was born' there, will 'die' there, and the Celts will bury him there, there is no place for you, you've been with the wrong person from the start, it's not too late to find out, but You still want to be loyal to them? Do you **** know we're a business alliance? You have no stake in Boston, no matter where you go to work, there's no betrayal, like you're giving up today Heineken, choose Budweiser, that is not a betrayal!"

Bird suddenly laughed.

"You look like you really want me to join."

"Just kidding. I don't have a shortage of talent in my coaching staff. You may be the best player ever, but a good player is not necessarily a good coach. The one who needs the opportunity is you, if it's not because we played together once , I'm not giving you that call. I'm not giving you an ordinary teaching assistant job. What I'm giving you is the opportunity to work with the greatest coach of all time."

When Louie left Boston, he was just a young man lifted up by Auerbach.

But today, he has the confidence to claim the best in front of Bird.

"Dare you tell Reed that you're the greatest basketball coach ever?"

"Do you think this matter needs the consent of the old man?" Louie asked with a smile, "I'll ask you one last time, come or not? I really don't understand why you won't come to L.A. because you've always been the winner in this competition, and it's the Lakers who should be grumpy about it, not you."

Bird was clearly persuaded. …. .

! Louie didn't even mention Bill Sharman's classic example of a green-capped throw to the lake, when he heard Bird ask, "Do you think I'm a good fit for Los Angeles?"

Do you think Louie would encourage him and take advantage of the psychological defense of the best player of all time?

"It's hard to say, what kind of place in Boston that doesn't **** can be compared to Los Angeles. The flowery world here is unimaginable. When you come here, it is very likely that you will become a famous gun king like Patrick. It is also possible to leave dozens of illegitimate children, so you better not come?"

"QNMD!"

"By the way, your half-brother is the one Erwin who has been defeated by you in the finals countless times. He is thinking of making a comeback. If you are considering being the gun king, you can communicate with him more. Just don't play too much, or you will be ruined if you get HIV."

"Fuck me!"

Louie has finished flirting with Bird. Then call the tragic.

Hearing that Louie said Bird might come to the Lakers as an assistant coach, the tragic teacher was very excited and shouted directly on the phone: "This must work, Larry and I are together again!"

"He's still a little hesitant, why don't you give me a call to persuade me?"

"Okay!"

"However, persuasion also pays attention to methods. Don't mention me, and don't ask him if he will come to Los Angeles. Just talk about your comeback and see what he thinks."

"I'll listen to you, coach."

On July 17, 1995, Fox magazine announced Bill Gates as the new richest man in the world.

Gates' personal fortune is $12.9 billion.

And Microsoft, which he founded, was valued at $50 billion* at the beginning of the year, and is now worth $75 billion, and will be worth $100 billion in the near future (by the end of the year).

There are plenty of economists who say the Internet boom could be dashed at any moment, but Microsoft is still going strong.

This is also the most successful investment Louis has made since he crossed over. Since 1984, Microsoft has split the original shares several times, and Louis has made additional investments. Now he holds about 2.5% of the shares.

Louie remembers that Microsoft's market value peaked at the beginning of the new century, and he could have a fortune for five generations as long as he cashed out all the stocks at that time.

However, he is not like he was thinking about making money all day when he first entered the industry.

All kinds of investments are prosperous and profitable. He just needs to focus on his career now.

He has to drive the Lakers boat.

A day later, Louis met Liu Yuqing on the forum.

He looked a little down.

The start of his career was not smooth, and he also lost the national team this summer.

So far, her high school career seems to be the pinnacle of Liu Yuqing's life.

He was the No. 1 shooting guard in the country at the time, alongside Grant Hill, and the NBA still believed in his talent and selected him with the lottery.

However, the Eagles are full of outgoing cool guys. They couldn't get along with Liu Yuqing, they thought he was weird, and he didn't agree with the coach's philosophy, so he was abandoned.

After only one season, he was sent to Vancouver.

Before he could play a game for the Grizzlies, he was traded again.

"Take what happened in the past year as a nightmare." Louis patted Liu Yuqing on the shoulder, "From today onwards everything is brand new."  … .

! Liu Yuqing was silent for a while, Louis thought he had nothing to say and just wanted to go upstairs.

"I will become their nightmare." Liu Yuqing added, "I will make them regret it."

The fact that he can say this shows that his heart is still there, and he has not completely lost his confidence.

"Try to be a qualified backup before you become an Atlanta nightmare."

Louis went upstairs.

Not just Atlanta, but Vancouver.

Liu Yuqing thought to herself.

Louis wanted to say hello to West, but when he arrived at the door, he heard the other party clapping the table inside.

"Why does he have to bring in Boston bastards! Those Celtics **** don't fit us!"

"I heard ... Coach Lu is going to ask Larry Bird to join the coaching staff."

"Crazy! Crazy! Great players don't have to be great coaches!" West growled. "Why does it have to be the **** in Boston?"

Louis decided to knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Louie walked into West's office, and the atmosphere inside was icy cold.

Here's Mitch Kupchak and Kurt Rambis.

"Mitch, help me prepare a teaching assistant contract, the amount is about 5 years and 5 million."

"to whom?"

"Larry Bird." Louie glanced at Rambis, "Kurt, I hope you don't stay in Jerry's office all day, you should have a lot of work to do."

Kupchak and Rambis walked away knowingly.

As soon as Rambis went out*, Louis yelled, "Close the door!"

Rambis, who was startled, shuddered and closed the door.

Then, there are only Louis and West left here.

"Jerry, you seem to have a problem with my assistant coach."

Louis, who was very angry just a second ago, now asks with a smile on his face.

"We've played against Boston a lot in the Finals, and it's going to be awkward for a lot of people."

West's reasoning was clearly pale.

"Really? Erwin, who was beaten by Larry into a tragic master, was very excited about this." Louie didn't mean to answer West, "Also, no matter how much you hate the Celtics , you should remember that professional basketball in Los Angeles still has three decent flags hanging on the forum, all thanks to Bill Sharman. You won three championships under a Hall of Famer coach whose jersey was retired by Boston. A championship. Now you feel awkward with Larry and Don joining? Do you also feel awkward about the three flags on the roof, why don't you have someone burn them?"

West is out of control by the irony of Louis.

"That was not what I meant!"

But West couldn't find any other reason to oppose Louie's hiring of the Celtics.

"Since you didn't mean it that way, stay upbeat and smile, I hope to never hear you from your office complaining about this again, everyone knows I made this decision and you as VP should Support me, I will be embarrassed if you continue like this."

"Would you feel better if I was like you and kept complaining to people about the decisions you made?"

Louis pressed step by step, and finally let the LOGO man's psychological defense line collapse.

"Good! Good! Good!" West said angrily, "I agree with you, I support you like a worm in your belly, whoever talks about this is against me!"…. .

! Louis smiled satisfactorily: "You really are my good helper, Elgin can't compare to you at all."

⑴ Sharman as a coach in 1972 led the Lakers to a 33-game winning streak. After putting down the coach, he served as the general manager until he retired due to illness in 1983~www.readwn.com~ According to the worldview in the book, the only three championships in the history of the Lakers are directly related to Sharman. After West took office in 1983 Particles not collected.

PS: To answer a few questions that might be asked.

Shouldn't Bird join the Pacers?

A: The timeline in the book is 1995. The Pacers had a solid record and no shortage of coaches, and Louie had the perfect time difference.

How can Bird join the Lakers as a Celtics legend?

A: Bill Sharman did too. The biggest similarity between him and Bird is that he joined the Lakers with an absolute winner.

Will Bird betray the Celtics if he joins the Lakers?

A: Maybe I didn't write enough details*, but Bird has actually broken with the Celtics.

Shouldn't Byrd prefer to stay in his hometown?

A: Bird published two autobiographies after he retired. One is an autobiography of a player's career written by Jack McCollum, a writer for the Illustrated, and the other is an autobiography written by himself, about his coaching career after retirement. This book taught me that Bird was not so much a country complex. Like James, what he really loved was the community in which he lived, no more than the town of French Ridge. Just as James didn't think Akron belonged to Cleveland, Bird didn't think his town had any connection to Indiana. Even he didn't go back to the small town after he retired, but went straight to Florida. . .
