The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 28: last thing you want to see

Almost all general managers with a basic strategic vision are complaining about the deal.

The so-called compensation system is to give some compensation to the team that lost free agency. But what happened to the piston? They lost a passionate swingman, in exchange for a scorer who couldn't lead the team.

In terms of worth and ability, M-L Carr is of course far inferior to McAdoo.

However, the Pistons used three future first-round picks, a second-round pick and $50,000 in cash as additional resources to "balance" this round.

...how to say?

Jerry West exploded: "Why do I feel like Detroit is paying Boston?"

Knicks general manager Sonny Weblin doesn't understand basketball operations, but he knows how much Auerbach hates McAdoo. Moreover, he knows how bad McAdoo is, because the Celtics exchanged 3 first-round games with New York.

"Boston got an immediate force that fits the team's culture, an unimaginable future, and affordable cash, and Detroit got the league's scoring champion and then gave away its future." Webblin mocked Dick in front of reporters. Vitale, "If Vitale worked for the Knicks, I would suspect that he took Boston's black money."

The Pistons made an ecologically damaging deal.

They ranked last in the league in record last season, and then they can rise after an offseason? Or can McAdoo bring about a qualitative change?

If they don't, they're likely to have the worst record yet again, and the Celtics have a 50 percent chance of winning the coin fight (the No. 1 pick).

To make matters worse, they also gave away their 1981 first-round pick.

In other words, if they do nothing for two consecutive summers, they will give the Celtics a 50% chance of being the No. 1 pick (the worst is the No. 2 pick) for two consecutive years.

this is too scary!

Originally, the Celtics had already achieved remarkable results. Using McAdoo for Karl + two first-round picks was something that I would never have dreamed of. Louie's discovery allowed them to pursue the victory, burying the future of the Pistons, making Boston's future brighter.

After that, the Celtics announced the firing of Dave Cowens.

Regarding the candidate for the new head coach, local speculation in Boston thought that Auerbach would be selected from his own family as in the past.

K.C. Jones was very vocal, but Auerbach had a choice in his heart.

Beginning with Bill Russell, there have been four famous Celtics leaders who have coached Green Kai. But these people have all kinds of faults. Although there are successful cases, they are all from grassroots and have no systematic teaching philosophy.

Auerbach had to go outside and find a way to heal the team.

Bill Fitch, who just stepped down from the Cleveland Cavaliers, is a Marine, like Auerbach. In 1976, he led the Cavaliers to create the famous Ridgefield miracle, losing to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals, and he was elected the coach of the year that year.

He was an uncompromising workaholic and dared to call himself a dictator.

The day Fitch took over, Louie also accepted a new job.

The assistant coach of the Celtics, he is about the same level as K.C. Jones.

Jones is the chief assistant coach, but he is not an academy like Fitch who entered the professional league from college, but a mud-legged man who retires and turns directly behind the scenes. To put it bluntly, there is no professional ability.

His existence is mainly to play a role in stabilizing the military.

And Louis is the potential stock that Auerbach focuses on cultivating.

It took Louie just one year to go from secondary scout to senior scout to assistant coach and scout.

This rocket-like rise is due to the benefits he has brought to the Celtics.

With two jobs, scout salary and assistant coach salary — 5,000+15,000 — he instantly became a wealthy middle-class man.

Hearing that the team hired Fitch as the head coach, his mood was a little complicated.

In just one year, things are really different.

I just don't know if Fitch has the habit of taking security with him? Did that rotten jiba named Dick Nordy come together?

On May 28, the Celtics held a press conference to welcome Bill Fitch.

Team chairman Auerbach, deputy general manager Volker, and three assistant coaches were all present.

Fitch's height is one of the points discussed by many.

He said he was 1.88 meters, but he didn't see it live.

Because Louis, who is 1.9 meters tall, looks much taller than him.

Fitch first shook hands with K.C and hugged, "Nice to meet you."

And then there's Bob McKinnon, who seems to like McKinnon. Because McKinnon, like him, has a university teaching experience.

For academy coaches, the campus imprint is like the strange high-five etiquette of black people. Although it is difficult for him to understand, but only when he understands this matter, can he initially enter the world of black people.

Louie was the last person in line, and he was a little flustered and embarrassed.

He didn't want to be photographed, but today was unavoidable.

Reporters from all over the city were paying attention to the meeting of the new coaching staff. Reputable reporters from Boston came to the scene and wanted to ask a question or two and go back and write an article.

Auerbach welcomed Fitch on behalf of the team.

"Don't ask me questions, I'm not the protagonist, I'm an old man." Auerbach teased Fitch, UU reading www.uukanshu. com "You all know who the protagonist is, he's sitting next to me. He looks normal, but he's confident, we need a guy like that."

Louie is very unnatural, but fortunately, he is not the protagonist.

"Coach Fitch, what does coaching the Celtics mean to you?"

"It's an honor to be a part of Boston's proud tradition of basketball." Fitch didn't look like someone who took Celtics glory to heart.

Prominent Celtics watcher Bob Ryan from The Globe asked: "We only won 29 games last season, how many games do you think we should win this new season?"

Fitch replied humorously: "30 games. That means we have at least a little progress."

Quite a few people smiled, as did Fitch's habit of making one-liners to distract the media.

As the youngest assistant coach ever, nearly everyone with a camera took a photo of Louie.

Someone even asked him questions.

"You're the youngest assistant coach in league history and the first Asian-American assistant coach in league history, does that put pressure on you?"

Louie, like Fitch, likes to use jokes to ease tensions.

"The only thing that's stressing me out is your cameras," he laughed stiffly.

Louie was photographed and made headlines on the sports pages of major newspapers with Fitch.

The Celtics change coaches, and that's a big deal.

And the emergence of a young Asian assistant in the coaching staff is even more of a big deal.

Especially for Asian Americans living in the United States.

The last thing Louie wanted to see happened and he got massive exposure.
