The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 314: Uncrowned King

LATEST WEBSITE: Louie checked the list of all the candidates right away.

It was not difficult to find the person who faxed him in the group.

Because in the fax, he has briefly introduced his resume.

A great untitled player, if he doesn't brag;

Good at examining young players, this must be bragging;

Four years as head coach in New Orleans, focus;

Even though he already had a general manager contract, he wanted to come to New York to be his deputy, which showed that the salary of the general manager contract was worrying.

Combining these characteristics, only one person who came to New York to apply for a deputy general manager met the requirements.

It is the prehistoric three-level superstar of the Lakers, "Moose" "Rabbit" "Mortmouth" "ticktock" "Pain and Suffering" (adpains) 1-Elgin Baylor.

According to Baylor's description on his resume, he worked for the Clippers and had previously been the head coach of the New Orleans Jazz. During his playing period, he was the most famous uncrowned king in NBA history.

Yes, it must be him.

The deputy general manager that Louis wants, needless to say how talented he is, as long as he can help him with the dirty work, that's enough.

For fame alone, Baylor is definitely enough.

Before meeting with Baylor, Louie called Debusschere, Jones, and Bill Russell separately to find out what they thought of Baylor.

To his surprise, these people spoke highly of Baylor.

Debusschere's evaluation is very pertinent: "Elgin is the best colleague you can imagine, you can imagine this guy almost got into a plane crash one second before and led his teammates out of the plane the next second. A snowball fight?"

Football had the Supega plane crash, burying a generation of Italian football's elite, causing them to slump in the 1950s, only to recover in the 1970s.

And basketball has had a very close accident, that is, the Lakers nearly crashed on the way back to Minneapolis from the road in 1960.

Debusschere told the story, giving Louie a good first impression of Baylor.

Optimistic and positive.

Only this character can endure seven defeats in the finals.

's comments came more from his impressions on the pitch: "A terrific contender, a very nice guy, I'm sure you'll have a great time with him."

Russell is the one who talks at length about what Baylor is.

To Louie's surprise, Russell and Baylor had a good relationship.

It stands to reason that Russell has won the Lakers so many times in the finals, and Baylor should have a bad relationship with him.

Later, he figured out that in those days, black stars were either black and white people like Chamberlain, or active social activists. Russell and Baylor were the latter. When they were not playing, they communicated a lot with each other. It's normal.

After several understandings, Louis had a general understanding of Baylor.

As for whether to hire him, it will be determined after face-to-face talks.

A day later, Louis met Baylor at the Blue Palace.

The Baylor that Louis remembered was what he looked like when he was old.

That's certainly not an image to build a good impression, including all modern fans, will remember him as a bad star, the manager of the worst team in modern sports history, wearing outdated clothes for most of the lottery draws from 1986 to 2008 sweater showing up on time.

Just like many fans' impression of Kareem is alien bald, goggles, cookie-cutter hook.

These images affect their standing in the hearts of fans.

When Baylor entered the league, no one could play above the rim, he created the concept of flying and "hanging in the air," and he was the first player in history to defy gravity. From him, the blueprint for the development of Dr. J, Jordan, and Kobe appeared from generation to generation. It turns out that basketball can be played like this.

In his rookie season, he brought the Lakers to the finals. In the second season, he scored a record 71 points in a single game against New York. In the third season, he averaged 34.8 points and 19 rebounds per game. A year later, it evolved to 38+19+5 assists per game. Seven **** fights with the peak Celtics, and only one frankselvysf's jumper 2 away from ending the green myth.

Among the many allusions about Baylor, Louie's favorite is the far-reaching 1964 Boston All-Star Weekend. In order to improve the treatment, the All-Star collectively called out the game. When Lakers owner Bob Short ordered Baylor and West to get out of the locker room and play the game as if they were his servants. Baylor took off his clothes, raised his arms and shouted, and then the locker room entered the rhythm of "ctmd, if we don't meet our requirements, let's destroy it together".

Now, this living legend is standing in front of him, interviewing someone 26 years younger than him for a job as deputy general manager.

"Elgin, you faxed me that you've been offered the Clippers' general manager position?"

Baylor nodded. "Yes, Mr. Sterling appreciates me."

"If the Clippers want you to be their general manager, why would you say no?" Louie asked.

"I didn't say no," Baylor clarified. "I wouldn't say no to them unless you agreed to hire me."

Louie laughed and asked, "Why is that? It's like choosing the latter between Ursula Andress and Tinalouise 3."

"Oh my God! Young man, you don't know how hot Tina Lewis is!" Baylor's words couldn't help Louis, "I will definitely choose her!"

Louie is a typical straight man thinking, both beautiful and sexy, and historical status.

Not to mention Ursula is the most irresistible '60s actress Louie has ever seen, with angels and demons properly left on her face and figure. In film history, she has a legendary historical status as the first-generation Bond girl of the 007 series.

"Okay, whatever, just tell me why you chose to be the Knicks' second child instead of the Clippers' boss, and you tell me that, okay?"

Listening to Louie's question, Baylor came up and said: "Because I want to play on a team that can win the championship, I also made it clear in the fax I sent you."

"Bullshit, if you wanted to play for a championship team, why did you retire in 1972?"

Baylor was silent for a few seconds and replied, "I don't want to sit on the court and watch them win."

Louie asked hilariously: "Do you think the Knicks' deputy general manager can play?"

"No, it's different. Management's work tests intelligence, endurance, and judgment, and players only need to play, and they lose their value if they don't play." Baylor said proudly, "I don't want to wait like a woman. Someone put a ring on my ring finger."

His reasons are convincing.

But Louie still didn't believe it, because Baylor's mouth fluttered and his eyes were dodging a little.

If he had a clear conscience and said what he said was sincere, this would not be the case.

"Elgin, I want to hear the truth."

"That's the truth."

"If you can't be honest with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept your job offer." Louis made an impetus to leave.

Baylor was anxious: "Don't, young man, why did you turn your face in such a good way? I really want this job."

"Tell me why you would rather be the second child than the boss." Louis said inexplicably, "I don't believe that anyone is willing to give up the power of the number one."

Baylor hesitated again and again, but told Lou the truth: "The first is money, the salary in the Knicks is twice that of the Clippers; the second is the boss, Mr. Sterling... I am not sure, but I feel that he is a Racist, I don't want to work for that kind of person; third, I really think I can help."

Louis nodded in satisfaction, which was the truth.

What kind of champion, self-esteem, pride, these are all good words to say, but there are not many things that many people will trust, they are all false.

There were many candidates for the Knicks' deputy general manager, and Louie finally chose Baylor.

Because he has the experience of working with these former superstars.

Baylor's character is very good. Although he is a failed general manager in Louie's memory, now he is just a deputy, responsible for helping with chores, drafting, trading, and examining young players, all of which will be taken over by Louie~www.readwn.com ~ Baylor offers advice at most.

With his ability to be the general manager of the Clippers for more than 20 years, it should be more than enough to be a deputy by his side.

The next day, Louie signed a long-term employment contract with Baylor on behalf of the team.

Baylor's first assignment was to sign other Knicks rookies.

1 All is Baylor's nickname

2 Both at home and abroad, the story of Baylor averaging 38 points per game while serving as a soldier in the 1961-62 season and returning to the Lakers to play games has spread widely. In fact, this is a rumor that Baylor did not join the army until after the game. It's also understandable why even Americans believe the story, since Baylor didn't publish an autobiography until 2016 that told the story in detail. And I read his autobiography, and I can safely say that the story of Baylor averaging 38 points per game while enlisting in the military is just a myth.
