The rest is just noise

Chapter 1,099 Who doesn’t love fools (subtitle: The Secret History of Bath)

"Jim, you and your sister don't seem to be getting along well."

Louis is mostly satisfied with his new office.

Compared to the offices in the Blue Palace, the offices in the Forum are more luxurious, with large-screen TVs, vending machines and all the equipment you can think of.

"Sir, Master is easily jealous, you should understand me."

There is a kind of natural narcissism in little Bas.

He calls Louis "sir", which is considered an honorific title, but he is very frivolous when he speaks, just like the disgusting coffee shop owner in the first part of "The Detective".

"Jenny is jealous of you?" Louis seemed to have heard some funny joke, "Why is she jealous of you?"

Bass Jr. didn't talk nonsense about talent. He said matter-of-factly: "Dad loves me more."

"That's true."

Little Bas was the head of the sales department. The last administrative order his father made before relinquishing the position of president to Louis was to transfer his precious son to the president's office as an assistant.

In other words, he is now an employee of Louis.

Afterwards, Zhao Yuanzheng walked into the office with Dale Ellis' information.

"How did it turn out?" Louis asked.

Zhao Yuanzheng said: "It's good. It's true that Dell has an estranged relationship with his teammates in Charlotte, but he hasn't gotten into any trouble off the court. Most of his bad records were left in New York."

"What about the small portion?"

Little Buzz tries to act smart in front of Louie.

"It's not worth mentioning." Zhao Yuanzheng showed the bad records to Louis.

After Louis read it, he gave it to little Bas.

"Driving speeding? What does this mean?" Little Bas seemed to be seeing himself, "You are wasting your youth if you don't drive fast!"...

Louis joked: "When you drive the car to the tombstone, you will always be a teenager."

"Also, drinking is nothing. What's wrong with drinking a little? It doesn't affect others. Besides, he is complaining about his teammates when he drinks like crazy. If I were him, I would complain too."

Buss Jr. suddenly became a Dale Ellis supporter.

Louis really doesn't think this young man who treats Ellis as a duke can really understand this matter.

He looked at the current head coach of the Lakers.

"What do you think?"

"It's not a big problem." Zhao Yuanzheng said, "Dale is a maverick who only obeys true leaders. There is no such person in Charlotte, but in Los Angeles, we have Benj and Messiah."

Bass Jr. smiled and said: "Now I know why the President brought you from New York to Los Angeles."

Zhao Yuanzheng looked at the young master with amusement, who thought he knew something.

"There's still more you need to know."

Louis and Zhao Yuanzheng watched Ellis's game footage from last season via video in the office to evaluate his current competitive status.

They concluded that Ellis is still the league's top shooter.

Maybe Reggie Miller has become the league's top scorer, but there is no gap in quality between Ellis and him.

Since arriving in Charlotte in 1988, Ellis has averaged 20 points per game every season.

The 1988-89 season was Ellis' peak. He averaged 26 points per game and made 4 three-pointers per game, leading the extremely bad Hornets team to ninth in the Eastern Conference.

After that, with the addition of new stars such as Glenn Rice and Larry Johnson, Ellis's status in the team was repeatedly reduced, but he was still able to maintain an average output of 20 points per game.

He has a weird temper, is unfriendly to rookies, is too conceited to get along with, and everyone is afraid of him, but he is still an indispensable player for the Hornets.

Just like Jeff Hornacek during the Lakers era.

At the critical moment, fans are more willing to believe in Ellis than Auntie and Rice.

Why? Because he was the one who ended the Celtics dynasty in 1988.

Afterwards, Louis also invited West to come to the office to watch Ellis' game video together.

West concluded: "Dell's relationship with his teammates is really not good."

"You still don't agree?" Louis asked.

West shook his head, but not in a negative sense.

"He reminds me of Rick Barry, a guy who is not helpful to the team but is indispensable." West had to make a decision that went against his heart. "I think Jeff (Hornacek) will never

None of them can do what he did. If this is the only way to success, I agree."

Zhao Yuanzheng, who is used to working with Baylor, is really not used to West's absolutely rational but somewhat intuitive judgment.

Call him rational, but he won't stick to what he believes in.

You could call him emotional, but he was also very painful about what he had already decided.

It must be very tiring for such a person to live, right?

"Then please contact Dell's agent."

Louie gives West a job.

West went straight to work.

After West left, Bass Jr. walked in from outside and said, "Sir, let's go have a meal together. It's so boring to stay here all day."

So Louis called Zhao Yuanzheng and physical trainer Gary Vitti.

Vitti has played for the Lakers for more than ten years and knows many things about the team.

Louis also learned about Jenny and Jim joining the Lakers through Vitti.

Jim was an airborne, and Bass regarded him as his heir from the beginning.

And Jenny has always been regarded as a precious daughter by his father, who just held it in the palm of his hand and did not intend to let her run the family business. It was not until Jenny graduated from college that she helped Old Buss run his tennis team with great success, and then joined the Lakers.

Team management.

Buss Sr. liked to objectify women and treat them as accessories to men. At the same time, he pioneered the practice of allowing women to hold important management positions in professional sports. However, when it came to family inheritance, he still favored boys over girls.

In terms of performance, Jim was not worthy of carrying his sister's shoes, but he joined the sales department as soon as he arrived, and was promoted to assistant to the president after Louis was airborne.

"Damn it, stop talking about my sister, she doesn't know half as much about basketball as I do about football."

Jim didn't want to hear how a bunch of sisters were better than him.

"At least Jenny is very attentive." Vitti advised, "Jim, if you want to achieve results in professional basketball, you have to be more focused."

"Come on, that's because you haven't seen her true face."

In order to save his reputation in front of others, this young man dared to say anything.

He said that Jenny once had a boyfriend who liked to play role-playing, but his hobby was so special that he asked Jenny to play a cat. Then Jenny got into the act. One day, the maid at home discovered that Jenny was acting like a cat at home.

Mark the sofa.

"Isn't that nonsense?"

Zhao Yuanzheng called out.

"I heard that she is still meowing on the ground." Jim felt a special pleasure in teasing his sister's dirty information in front of outsiders. "I felt like I was going to be allergic just telling this story. From then on, I never did it again."

I like cats.”

Louis cut the steak on the plate speechlessly, "For the love of God, can you not say this kind of thing while we are eating?"

"Okay, sir." Jim is a person who can't stop talking and talks nonsense all the time.

When everyone was about to take a bite of their meal in peace, he started to say again: "I have a hot gossip here. Rich from the sales department heard it from Jeff from the external affairs department. Jeff's source of information came from the manager's office.

Assistant Diana.”

"Gossip about Jerry?"

"That's right."

Louis cleared his throat: "Okay, I don't want to gossip, but I have to care about the colleagues around me."

Jim then said: "Jerry often falls into inexplicable emotional breakdowns. Hush, don't tell others. I swear to keep it secret."

Well said, Louis hates these gossips the most. Why can't they leave a little private space for others? It makes people suspicious all day long. But then again, gossip is usually a necessity for the entire department. If there is no gossip, We are just a bunch of walking zombies commuting to get off work every day.

The next day, the Lakers announced that they had reached a two-year contract with Dale Ellis.

The assassin who once made children in Boston afraid to cry at night is joining Los Angeles to follow his coach.

The new season is coming, Louis and his new colleagues are still in the running-in period, West is a reliable person, Kupchak is like a loser, Vitti and Hearn are very interesting, but the most interesting thing is the palace fight between Jenny and Jim

.

Jenny was always against Jim, and Jim, for the most part, had no idea what his sister was against.

Louis was once very opposed to letting Jim be his assistant, but on the first day of work, Jim used his chatty nature to dispel Louis' doubts.

He is a playboy, an arrogant son-in-law, and a bastard who has no respect for his sister. But he is also a fool who cannot hide his thoughts and says whatever he has to say.

An assistant who is thoughtful and can get things done, or a fool who can mess up most things and whose behavior is almost imbecile, who do you want to choose?

Louis will always choose the latter. He doesn’t need a capable assistant—unless it’s a woman—because he is already very capable. When he already has a top tool like West, another capable assistant is still needed.

What do you want him to do? You can't fish every day with the highest salary in the league's executive hierarchy.

Therefore, Jim Bass is the best candidate in every sense._&
