The rest is just noise

It's really a blessing to be able to stay at home when there are no games.

A good schedule is like a comfortable-paced movie. It won't make people irritated after half an hour of opening and the equipment hasn't been completely dropped yet.

The schedule is rubbish, just like any idiot director trying to get Miwa Hakumine to star in a feature film. Can she act? Do you know if she doesn't have the ability?

The most annoying thing about Louis' schedule is that there are obviously 2-3 non-match days in between, but they happen to be on the road to an away game.

At this time, the team has to arrive at the next away game early, because even if they return to Los Angeles, there is no place to train.

Although the Buss family owns the forum, it has other business uses when the Lakers are away from home.

Therefore, the less this kind of rubbish schedule where you can’t go home even though there is no game, the better.

On non-game days, Louis will also go to the forum to work.

Today he also brought his son Lu Wuxia with him.

Wu Xia's current height is 1.77 meters. Whenever Louis introduces to others that he is only 11 years old, Jiang Wen-like shock will appear on the other person's face: "How the hell is he 11 years old?"

Compared to her peers, Wu Xia is too precocious.

Mainly physically.

He has rarely met peers who are better developed than himself.

Louis couldn't help but wonder if some little black guy who didn't know what he was doing in Akron was stronger than Flawless?

That guy also has typical early development.

When Wu Xia appeared on the forum, the reactions of the Lakers players were very interesting.

Some people have a grimace, like Dale Ellis.

Last month, he made a mistake that would last forever. He let loose in the shooting competition with Wu Xia, but he went too far and lost the shooting competition. Not only did he fail to fulfill Louis' instructions of "give him a proper blow, but don't go too far."

"The task was a bit counterproductive, which made this 11-year-old boy get carried away.

After all, he used a shot he was not good at to defeat Ellis, who was good at shooting.

"Mr. Xiaolu, do you want to pretend to be a member of the Lakers today?"

"How can you call it pretending?" Wu Xia said eloquently, "My father is the coach of the Lakers, so I should be a member of the Lakers!"

"What you said seems to make sense."

Not far away, Larry Bird roared: "Is this the time to play with kids?"

Garnett, who was overwhelmed by the 11-year-old's argument, was not used to Bird's harshness: "Brother, aren't you helping take care of Mr. Xiaolu?"

"That child is very smart, should you take care of him? You should take care of yourself!"

"Hey, you can't say that." Louis was trying to find someone to help him keep an eye on his son, but Bird happened to be here, "I'll leave this kid to you for the time being."

"etc!"

Bird rushed in front of Louis, with a posture that did not suggest that he was a middle-aged man who had retired due to a back injury.

"Why did you just leave it to me?"

"Because he wants to stay on the court and play."

"Then let's play. Court No. 9 belongs to him."

"No, I need you to watch over me, just for a while."

But Bird knew that the "a while" Louis mentioned was most likely a few hours.

"Why? Do I look like a nanny?"

Bird had a million unwillingnesses in his heart.

"Okay, okay, can't you help me? Erwin is going to give a lecture on HIV recovery and treatment in some damn place today, so he won't be able to attend the training. If he were here, I wouldn't need you. Compared to him,

You don’t know how to take care of children at all. In my opinion, his children must be more promising than yours because he can give them more care, especially that little EJ, I think..."

Bird knew Louie was playing a trick.

But you know what? Country bumpkins always do this.

He waved his hand directly, "Stop it! It won't happen again!"

"I knew you were the best country boy in the world!" Louis also said, "My child is also obsessed with basketball and may become a professional basketball player in the future. If you are free, you can give me some advice."

Bird was so angry that he smiled crookedly: "Do you think I'm free?"

Garnett hesitated to speak.

Because when Bird usually trains him, except for doing a set of moves at the beginning, the rest of the time he sits on the floor and relies on his mouth to output.

tsxsw.la

He's probably the most laid-back development coach in the world, right?

"Larry, Larry, aren't you country bumpkins all helpful and hard-working? Although this bastard Jasmine is difficult to take care of, I believe that my children will definitely be easier to manage than him!"

Bird just shook his head indifferently.

Unfortunately, he was handsome for only 10 seconds before he was bought by Louis with a dozen Heineken beers.

"If you want any benefits, tell me earlier. I am wasting my time here with you. You are such a country bumpkin!"

"If you bid again, the price will be more than this!"

Louis said hello to Bird and then walked towards the far away road Wuxia, "Practice well with Uncle Bird. He is not as talkative as your Uncle Sad. Be smart and don't make him angry."

"I know, Dad."

Louis never expected that this kid Lu Wuxia would run up to Bird and say: "Benj is the best in history!"

Bird gave Louis a look that said, "Is there something wrong with your child?"

Fortunately, this guy regards fame and wealth as dirt, otherwise Wuxia would not have had a good day today.

As soon as Louis saw that there was no problem, he went upstairs directly.

CEO's office

Zhao Yuanzheng and Bass Jr. were chatting inside.

As soon as Louis arrived, Jim couldn't help but show off the new information he had just obtained: "Sir, I heard that next year's draft will be the best in ten years. Is it true?"

"Coach Zhao told you?"

"Yes, yes!" Jim said eagerly, "This is the time for the Lakers to hire people. Next year's draft is very important to us, right?"

"is important to me."

Louis said: "The Knicks' dynasty team is mainly composed of the players I selected in the first two years in New York. Generally speaking, a rookie waits for three years, and for a president and coach like me, if the first two years

If you don't select good players, you basically won't be able to achieve anything."

Jim thought Louis was worried about selecting people, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, I will help you, Sir!"

"You'd better consult Coach Zhao on this matter. He is the expert when it comes to draft picks."

"I was about to ask him for advice!" Jim turned around and asked, "Coach Zhao, what good ideas will he have for next year?"

The draft has always been Zhao Yuanzheng’s key follow-up project. When it comes to next year’s popular players, he is also familiar with them: “In recent years, with the success of the Michigan Five Tigers, the popular players participating in the draft tend to be younger, and the underclassmen are getting better and better.

More and more, Generation X, who grew up in AAU, are no longer interested in staying in college for four years. As long as they are sure they have lottery potential, they will join the draft."

“I think, in addition to Wake Forest’s Tim Duncan, guys like Georgetown’s Allen Iverson, UMass’ Marcus Camby, UConn’s Ray Allen, Georgia Tech’s

Stephon Marbury ... they're all going to be in the draft."

Jim asked: "So, who is the most promising young player?"

Zhao Yuanzheng answered: "Although the player with the most hype is AI, I prefer Marcus Camby because he has obvious advantages against another super insider Tim Duncan in the NCAA."

"Then can we choose Marcus?"

"It's almost impossible that we won't have a lottery pick."

"Ah, what should I do?"

"You can try to trade, or use the later draft picks to 'dig'."

After Jim had a general understanding of the draft, he turned to Louis and asked: "Sir, what do you think?"

"Don't ask me, I don't have any opinions right now."

Forum Vice President Office

Typically, the vice president and president share an office.

But the original president of the Forum's basketball operations department was Bass, so the vice president is basically equal to the team's president.

Bass has the highest authority, but usually it is West who makes the decisions.

Therefore, before Louis arrived, West was truly the president.

After Louis came, West still kept his office, and Louis had no problem with it.

People like West really deserve their own offices.

Although Louis had all the power, West still had certain powers.

Next to Louis, he is like a more functional Elgin Baylor. In addition to being responsible for the grunt work that the president doesn't want to do, he also manages the scouting department and the sales department.

But recently, West found that he could no longer reach out to the scouting department and sales department.

One side is the private territory of Zhao Yuanzheng and Jim Bass, and the other side is the territory of Jenny Bass. It is inappropriate for him to interfere in any department.

Therefore, West is very free during this period.

Until David Robinson called him, worried that his contract had not been renewed.

West's body suddenly trembled - come to life!
