The rest is just noise

It has been half a month since Louis joined the Celtics, and this is the first time Auerbach has met him.

Previously, he heard from K.C Jones that he bought a scouting report from an 18-year-old kid, and he claimed that the report was very professional and detailed to the extent that he had never seen it before.

But when he heard that Louis wrote scouting reports via videotape, his interest was at a minimum.

Then he forgot about this person, including the fact that he became a scout for the Celtics.

For Auerbach, there are two types of employees on the team, those whose names he remembers and those whose names he doesn't.

This sounds like nonsense, but there are two meanings behind it.

Except for those players who retired and went directly behind the scenes to continue working for the Celtics, outsiders who had no player experience and joined the team because of their expertise, if they let Auerbach remember their names within three months,

It means they did a good job.

On the contrary, even if it cannot be said that the work is done badly, it can be said that there are no highlights.

Auerbach didn't expect that he would come to K.C. to get a scouting report, but he would see Louis talking to someone like a scammer using a disgusting tone and a tone that made Auerbach want to stuff a cigar down his throat.

.

Auerbach's sudden appearance caught Louis off guard.

He is well aware of the authority Auerbach holds in the team. If he wants to climb up, he must establish a good relationship with the other party.

He didn't expect that their first meeting would be under such circumstances.

"Arnold...No, Reed..." Louis didn't know what to call him.

Auerbach was not surprised and said, "Just call me Reed." I heard that this kid is only 18 years old? He is really crazy. He didn't study in college and came here to work as a scout.

He begins to suspect that Louis may not be as interesting as he thinks.

"Yes, Reed." Louis believed this was an opportunity to leave a deep impression on Auerbach, "Nice to meet you."

"Don't talk nonsense." Auerbach pointed to the core of the problem, "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

Louis laughed dryly and said: "It's a long story...I asked Jack McMahon for information about a player."

"Jack McMahon? You know him?"

"I don't know him. I was talking to him in K.C's name."

"Why do you think he will give you the right advice?" Auerbach found that recruiting an 18-year-old college student as a scout was an extremely outrageous decision. "You don't think we have a good relationship with the 76ers, do you?

"

Have the Celtics fallen to this point? Auerbach suddenly felt that the team's future was not as bright as he thought.

"On the contrary, Boston and Philadelphia are feuding in sports." Louis knew what Auerbach was thinking, and he deliberately gave the other party such a first impression. "I didn't intend to get the right thing from McMahon."

intelligence."

Auerbach discovered that the young man was not as stupid as he thought.

"Then why did you call him?"

"You should know that K.C has a habit of asking McMahon to buy scouting reports."

Auerbach was extremely surprised: "I really didn't know about this!"

At that moment, Louis almost suffocated.

"Don't say I said it."

Auerbach maintained his evil smile. Of course he knew that K.C would use the funds to buy the scouting report. He just didn't know who the seller was.

"K.C asked me to sort out this year's scouting report, and I found a good player from it. I watched his game live." Of course Louis has never watched Cheeks' game. He most likely heard about it in his previous life.

The name of this person made it clear that this player must not be missed. "I know he is a good player, but there are still some things I don't understand, so I need to call McMahon to ask for advice. I know he will not tell the truth.

, so this phone call was just a routine test. What I didn’t expect was..."

Louis suddenly stopped and took a drink of water.

"Damn it, keep talking!" Auerbach said irritably.

"When I mentioned that person's name, McMahon became very nervous and excited. He talked about the other person's shortcomings as if he had a grudge against the other person. Although every word he pronounced was hypocritical, I got something out of it.

A lot of information." Louis gave an inappropriate example, "He literally took off Maurice Cheeks's clothes and threw them in front of me."

Louis handed Auerbach the shorthand he had just written down while on the phone.

All of Louis' judgments seemed to be based on McMahon's reaction on the phone.

Auerbach asked curiously: "How do you know he is not telling the truth?"

That being said, Auerbach put away Louis' briefing.

"I have no evidence and I can't be sure. This is my preliminary judgment. However, if Maurice Cheeks refuses our trial training, then I am absolutely sure that he is the person Philadelphia wants, and

Got a draft commitment from Philadelphia."

In front of Auerbach stood a charming young man.

After this incident, Louis left a deep impression on Auerbach.

Just like the words K.C Jones praised this young man in front of him, when he saw him today, he did have real talent and learning.

Auerbach kept his appreciation deep in his heart and said calmly: "What if Maurice Cheeks accepted our trial training?"

"That only shows that if he wants to get a higher draft pick, he will definitely tell us Philadelphia's draft commitments to increase his momentum."

However, Louis doubted whether Cheeks and his agent had the ambition to raise the price.

He believes Philadelphia and Jack McMahon succeeded in creating a "You unwanted piece of trash, come over here" atmosphere around Cheeks.

A poor school background, an anonymous four-year college career, and a personality that perhaps doesn't like fighting, allowed Cheeks to settle for Philadelphia's arrangement.

Whatever it is, it's possible.

All Louis knew was that Cheeks was probably more unmissable than John Long.

"In a few days we will hold a team briefing meeting about this year's draft." Auerbach said before leaving, "You and K.C will come together then."

The bishop is gone.

The first person who made Louis feel very stressed since time travel.

When I heard that he asked me to participate in the ventilation meeting, I would be lying if I said I was not excited.

During the briefing meeting, all team executives, coaching staff, and two chief scouts will gather.

This is equivalent to a strategy meeting before a big game. This meeting will directly determine the order of the Celtics' draft picks.

And Louis, a low-level scout who had just joined the Celtics less than half a month ago, was named by the bishop to join. This is a very important recognition.

PS: It’s normal to ask for votes, pursue reading, and maintain books, but for an author like me with a limited readership, every reading is important. In a period when competition is not fierce, if there are new books in the sports area

With a stable reading of 700, there is a high probability that I can go to Sanjiang to play. However, I crashed together with Qiezi and the Grove Street brothers, two sports area gods, and several other popular LV4 authors. So.

, this pursuit is very important to me, because there are only so many recommendations every week. Although I can't compete with these big guys, if the reading data is considerable, I should be able to make good recommendations, so please everyone——
