The rest is just noise

Is this enough?

Louis couldn't answer this question because this is not his team and he doesn't understand the Heat.

It's not that he doesn't understand the players on the Heat's lineup, but he has never been with this team day and night, and he doesn't know what the problems are internally.

At the same time, their lineup is very strong, probably the strongest in the league.

But there are too many teams in history that have the strongest lineup but fail to win the championship.

The most iconic ones are the 1993 Trail Blazers and the 69 Lakers.

"Lewis, do you think it's enough?" Louis asked.

Shafir didn't answer the question: "I just feel that I can't stop here."

He was blabbering, obviously he had completed operations at the level of the best general manager of the year, but he was still not satisfied.

Louis said happily: "You are already an excellent team manager, Lewis."

"Everything I've accomplished in Miami couldn't have been possible without you, Coach Lu," Shafir said. "I'm forever grateful for that."

Then, Shafir asked about Louis' next stop.

Louis didn't tell him directly, but just said: "This is an answer that is not so suspenseful."

"I hope it's the West so we don't have to fight in the same division."

"I really hope you get what you want."

Louis chatted with Shafir for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

As Louis's network of people developed rapidly, he already had a stable group of allies like Shafir.

Every offseason, their interactions will become even closer.

When transactions are needed, each other will be prioritized and each will get what they need when necessary.

This kind of connection is strongly opposed by the alliance, but unless they know the people in the National Security Agency and convince them to launch a surveillance operation on the alliance's top leaders, it will be difficult for this alliance to be confirmed.

Considering that the United States only started Project Prism in 2007, unless the United States still has some surveillance programs that have never been exposed, Louis feels that his connection with Shafir is safe.

After Louis finished his breakfast, he looked at his children and went out.

He gave the Lakers negotiating team three days, working in pairs. On the first day, he was negotiating with Chick Hearn and Tragedy.

They came to the restaurant where they met yesterday.

Herne and the Tragedian still arrived before Louis.

There is no need to say more about the tragedian. When it comes to Hern, Louis remembers that at the earliest time, his name was translated into "Horn" in China. This is considered a classical translation method and can be traced back to a much older era. It may have been in a certain period.

One day, translators realized that if they used such a translation method (translating foreign names in a nice, Chinese-like and close-to-English pronunciation), sooner or later they would be untranslatable. So the standard universal translation came into being.

As for other things he knew about Hearn, Louis gradually learned about it after traveling through time.

Hearn, like "Voice of Celtic" Johnny Most, both made outstanding contributions to the team's local development, so they each have a very important position in the team.

He is the kind of heavyweight who can really participate in the team's decision-making.

"Coach Lu, I can list 15 reasons why you must join the Lakers."

Louis joked: "I don't need so many reasons to join the team. As long as I am sure that this is a team that can lead them to success, I will join."

"So, what's your problem?" Hearn asked again.

"The point is, apart from the issues I listed yesterday, there aren't many things I want to know." Louis took the initiative to give Hearn and the tragedy maker a chance to please him. "If I join the Lakers, what can you two do?

Can you help me?"

Hearing this, Hearn first said: "I am the know-it-all for the Lakers. As long as it is about the team, whether it is the management, the players, the coaching staff, or every corner of the forum...

.I can tell you everything you want to know.”

So Louis really asked: "What happened to the balloons that were not used to celebrate the championship in 19691?"

Hearn's expression turned bitter, it was obviously something he didn't want to remember.

"You really asked the right person, Coach Lu, I was the one who handled those balloons." Hearn frowned and said, "According to Mr. Cook's instructions, we gave those balloons to the local orphanage, but the orphanage

When the children heard that they were balloons that brought bad luck, they burst them in front of us."

"There should be thousands of balloons, right? They were all crushed?"

"Not every balloon was popped, but after such a difficult defeat, even the balloons we sent out were considered ominous by some people, which really hurt us."

The tragedian didn't know about the balloon, and he didn't want to know, so he kept his usual smile.

"Actually, I'm quite surprised that you're here, Erwin."

Louis really doesn't think the tragedy master can bring much help to the negotiating team.

If he were still serving, it would be understandable to appear on the negotiating team, but he has been retired for three years.

To put it bluntly, his time has passed.

No matter how glorious you were when you were in service, once you retire, there will only be very few fans who will miss you. Not to mention those who try to come back like Tragedy Master. In 99% of the cases, their comebacks will be like Haneda Ai

Just as sloppy and unfinished.

"Actually, Dr. Bass didn't invite me to join at the beginning." The tragedy master said, "I strongly requested to join."

Louis asked in confusion: "Do you really think you can play a role in this process?"

The tragedy master said: "I think I am already playing a role, coach, we really need people with great talents and strategies like you to join us."

"Erwin, let's talk about how you can help me."

"With my current status, I can't bring much help."

"However, I can make a few guarantees to you."

The tragedy master solemnly said: "Coach, I promise you that if you need me, I will choose to come back."

Hearn exclaimed in surprise: "What?"

"Eat your fried noodles, Chick."

"You just wanted to tell Coach Lu personally that you were going to make a comeback, so you insisted on coming with him, right?!"

"Chick, I said, 'if'."

"What-ifs that accompany leader Lu will always come true!" Hearn said as if he was witnessing a murder scene, "Are you really going to make a comeback?"

The tragedian avoided Hearn's eyes.

The tense expression suddenly relaxed, and then a sunny smile popped up that made Louis laugh.

"What is leader lu? That's what people in New York call them. When you come to Los Angeles, it's legend lu."

Louis embraced his new nickname.

"I accept that you call me that. I really don't like being called leader, because there is someone in our team who wants to prove that he is a good leader every day, but in fact he is not in many cases. He was almost destroyed

Knicks, so I am a little allergic and disgusted with the word leader."

The tragedy master said happily: "Then what are you waiting for, coach, join us now, I guarantee that no one will call you leader again, and everyone will know that you are a unique legend."

Louis must admit that the tragedian was a very charming man.

It is completely wrong to think that he is not a good negotiator.

After all, he is the guy who can lure James to the Lakers in 2018. It is unscientific to think without a sweet mouth.

But Louis is not 18 James. The latter gave everything for the 18 Cavaliers and sold his life to bring the team that was not worthy of playing in the finals to the finals, and then proved that Smith is a pure rebel. The result

Being sent home 4-0 by the Warriors without mercy, I was completely exhausted.

Under such circumstances, it is understandable that he cannot resist the temptation of the colorful world of Los Angeles. Who is Louis? The big stage in New York cannot keep him, so they want to lure him to the Lakers with just the small talk of a tragedian? How can he?

So simple.

"Erwin, apart from making a comeback for me, do you have any other substantial help?"

What Louis meant was, you don’t really think I need you to come back, do you? You don’t look at how fat you have become, and you still want to come back? Come back and play center, right? Why don’t you let the Lakers send away the big man overnight?

David Robinson, free up his spot for you?

The tragedy maker was naturally unconvinced; "Coach, don't underestimate me, even now I am capable of averaging 20 points per game in the league."

Louis laughed and said: "With all due respect, I can only see that you have the ability to average 20 points per game against your opponent."

"Ahem..." Hearn helped the tragedy master ease the embarrassment, and asked a question that embarrassed someone who was not present, "Coach Lu, who made you feel embarrassed about the word leader?"

Hearn's vibrant voice is his signature feature.

His words made an orangutan's face drift into Louis' mind, but this face was not a typical gorilla, but a black man who looked like an orangutan, do you understand?

First, take out the person who thinks of LeBron James and shoot him for 30 minutes.

1. If you want to ask me "what balloon", "what 1969", "what are you talking about", etc., I can only advise you to read slowly.
