The Rest, Only Noise

Louis hung up the phone.

He did not reach a verbal agreement with John McLeod.

Because McLeod finally said: "It's not that I don't believe you, Coach Lu, but I know the Celtics are not yours to decide."

He was absolutely right, even if Louis made a good deal, Auerbach had to see it, and he agreed, and the deal could be done.

The deal he reached with McLeod was for the Celtics to send Cedric Maxwell and Gerald Henderson and two first-round picks for Larry Nance, Paul R. Westphal.

On paper, the Celtics are at a loss.

Maxwell and Henderson are not big contracts, and although Nance is also a rookie contract, but Westphal is close to $ 400,000 maximum salary.

While Westphal used to be a superstar, he's not anymore.

For Nance and Westphal, he gave the team's merits and an energetic backup guard, plus two first-round picks, everyone felt a loss, but Louis knew the rewards that Nance brought. enough to offset the immediate loss.

This is a long-term investment.

Westphal's contract, while large, ends this year.

With Nance and Maxwell, the Celtics could rule the league until 1992.

How about a prospect like that, isn't it worth paying a retiring veteran $400,000 for a sullen would-be All-Star, a decent backup guard, and two first-round picks that aren't destined to be too high? ?

If Louie was in charge of this team, they could now send the league a trade fax for filing.

Unfortunately, he now has to go to Auerbach's office and report the matter truthfully.

Jane Walker was there when Louis went.

"Yo, here comes the arrogant young man!" Walker quipped.

"Mr. Jane, you seem to be in a good mood," said Louis.

Auerbach snorted: "If you make 100,000 in stocks, you will be in a good mood."

"If I tell you now that you lose 100,000 yuan in the short term and will return you 5 million yuan in the future, would you accept it?"

Louis asked.

"Influx, listen!" Auerbach put down what he was doing. "Tell me."

"I just got a call."

Auerbach's cheek twitched when Louie mentioned John McLeod's name.

Apparently, Auerbach, who had been cheated by countless people, remembered the past of being cheated by the other party when he thought of that name.

People who cheat people will cheat them. If people can’t cheat you, God will do it too.

Auerbach is well-known about being trapped by Laotiankeng, but not much is known about being trapped by others.

In 1970, Auerbach didn't like Charlie Scott, a proven superstar prospect. Scott also doesn't like the NBA, because the ABA can offer him a bigger contract, so he announced early that he would not join the NBA. As a result, he fell to the seventh round before being drafted by the Celtics. As a result, he played for the Virginia Land home team for two years and found that the ABA game and life were too impetuous and empty. He couldn't find himself and wanted to join the NBA team.

Auerbach made the mistake of thinking the ABA is a flashy league, and he was right to a degree, but he shouldn't be too contemptuous of Scott's two great seasons in the ABA -- 27+5+534.6+5 +4.8 (average per game) - Meanwhile, the Suns offered to trade for the rights to Scott in exchange for solid, short big man Paul Silas. Auerbach agreed, and the deal indirectly contributed to the Celtics' 1973 championship.

Silas is indeed a solid fit for Cowens.

However, the arrival of Silas also gave the Celtics the shortest interior lineup in the league. The short insider pays attention to hard work and skill. Cowens and Silas only work hard, so they both burst out with infinite strength in the short term, and in the long run, injuries will be unsustainable. So, although the Celtics won the championship, in the final analysis, the trade is still the sun taking advantage.

In 1975 ushered in a reversal of polarities. In order to enhance the firepower on the outside, Auerbach decided to send the rising Paul Westphal away and replace him with a mature immediate combat power. So the sun came again, and took out Charlie Scott, who averaged 25 points in a row in Phoenix.

After the deal between the two sides, although Scott was still a high-quality player averaging 18 points per game under the Celtics system, Westphal was soaring. After that, he was selected to the All-NBA team four times and was elected to the All-Star team five times. He also led Sungrass to overturn the 1976 championship-winning Golden State Warriors, and he lost an immortal game with the Celtics in the final.

And these two deals that made the Celtics suffer a loss, both have John McLeod.

In particular, the trade of Scott for Westphal was concocted by McLeod.

So when Louie informed Auerbach of the trade plan he and McLeod had made.

Auerbach said viciously: "You just tell that bastard, don't even think about it!"

"Reed, it's good for us to get Larry Nance," Louie explained. "His athleticism is more suited to the game."

Auerbach asked back: "If Larry Nance comes, do you want him to come off the bench, or do you want someone else to come off the bench?"

"I'll find a way to get Bill on the bench," Louie said.

Auerbach sneered: "Will that evil dog accept it?"

"Perhaps?" Louie was not sure. "What I can say for sure is that Cedric doesn't accept the replacement arrangement in his heart."

"At least he hasn't caused trouble yet. He is a successful player and an old man in the team. You shouldn't send him away when he is keeping his own feet, and exchange him for a young player who doesn't know what virtue he is! "Auerbach was very disgusted with the deal. "What's more, two draft picks have to be given away!"

Louie asked angrily: "Do you feel bad for the draft pick, or do you not want to make a deal?"

"I don't know what kind of ecstasy John poured into you, but there's no way for this deal!" Auerbach's arrogant attitude gave Louis no room to reason.

Louie felt powerless, which is why he never saw Boston as his final destination.

Great players like Kobe, Duncan, James, Shaquille O'Neal all have the ghost of Chicago on their heads on their way to glory.

As long as they can play, the world will keep comparing them.

You can either declare yourself the best in history like James on the show; or like Kobe and say you can slap Jordan in a one-on-one match; or like Duncan to show respect for Jordan but dislike Jordan; or like O'Neal to kneel down and lick "I Grandma and Jordan can win championships as teammates."

Auerbach is that ghost for a coach or executive who works at the Celtics.

Bill Russell became the first black coach in the four major leagues. Everyone is complimenting the groundbreaking move of Auerbach. Who cares that Russell is both the core of the team and the coach when he wins the last two championships?

Tom Heinsohn was despised by the Boston media. He brought the Celtics to two championship restoration dynasties and was inducted into the Hall of Fame as a coach, but when he won the championship, it was Auerbach who received endless praise. Heinsohn is just a clown who borrows flowers to offer Buddha.

Bill Fitch saw clearly the essence of Celtic glory, so he pushed Auerbach out of the team and banned him from most things in the team. Participate in the competition program. Signing, drafting, etc., all need the consent and cooperation of the other party before they can be carried out (1).

"This is just a suggestion. You can agree or disagree. My suggestion is to complete the deal. Even if you hate John McLeod, you should get to know Larry Nance well." Bach quarreled, he only said what he wanted to say, "Although Cedric has not made a dissatisfied voice about the bench thing now, but the outside media has made such a big noise, even if it has nothing to do with him, his agent must be participate."

"He can stay out of trouble, but he can also let us all know he's not satisfied."

"Just like Archibald a few years ago, we could have traded him for a long time, but the management decided not to make this decision and had to wait for a better offer. Now the management of each team is much more professional than in the past. Counting on others to make mistakes is like waiting for the pie to fall." Louis finally said, "We need this deal."

Auerbach's eyes flickered a few times.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about this."

His words set the tone for this matter.

"If there is a good deal, I will go and shoot." Auerbach said, "What you have to do is to bring me the team. I am not old enough to see the pros and cons."

"All right."

Louis is ready to go.

"Aren't you going to drink some Coke?" Louis was not used to taking something with him~www.readwn.com~ Auerbach was really not used to it.

"Not thirsty."

He is so full of anger now that drinking soda water is probably going to explode, right? Well, that should be able to blow up Auerbach.

(1) As mentioned above, the most famous robbery in Bishop's career, the 1980 No. 1 pick for Chiefs and Refrigerator. After my research, Bill Fitch was the driving force behind this transaction. In other words, he and the bishop jointly contributed to it. The refrigerator belongs to the University of Minnesota, and Fitch coached there before he coached the NBA team. He has a wide network in Minnesota and knows the situation of the refrigerator well. When the bishop failed to lobby Sampson, it was the refrigerator that Fitch suggested to choose. , and it was Fitch who contacted the Warriors to discuss the details of the trade for the No. 1 pick. By the time the deal was completed and the title finally won in 1981, the media would only praise Auerbach for his shrewdness. This is the biggest contradiction between Auerbach and Fitch in reality. Of course, it is another matter in the book. Looking at it now, Fitch's dissatisfaction is justified. How many fans now know that he has credit for this transaction? A bishop's arrogance is enough.
