The rest is just noise

Louis is not a control freak, he will leave some things that he is not good at to professionals.

For example, arranging and guiding player training.

He himself is not a professional basketball player. He has no way to point out the deficiencies in the players' usual training. He can only make suggestions based on their game content.

If you really want training, you need professionals like Cowens and Tomjanovich.

When Louis returned to his office, his desk was filled with tactics that were being designed and tactics that had been completed.

Currently, in addition to four sets of offensive systems and two sets of defensive systems, the Celtics' main offensive tactics are the "L" series of tactics.

Currently, this tactic has 36 routines. Compared to modern NBA teams that will claim to have hundreds of tactics per team in the future, the Celtics have relatively few routines.

Louis doesn't believe in hundreds of sets of tactics, because there are really not many players who can memorize so many tactics. Even if the number is divided by 10, it may not be possible to memorize them.

Most players can only play a dozen tactics, and only guards need to memorize more tactics. The Celtics' situation is different. Their offensive center is Bird, so the person who memorizes the most tactics is not a defender.

.

Even Bird may not have memorized all the tactics.

According to Louis' observation, Bird likes to control the offense according to his own feelings. Therefore, many of the Celtics' wonderful positional battles are done at will, just because other players remember the tactics, and Bird can see this routine at a glance.

How to fight.

Therefore, if there is an opportunity, Louis must hire Doug Mo to be his assistant coach. He may not be suitable to be the head coach of a championship team, but he can definitely be the offensive assistant coach of a championship team.

Louis was bored and wanted to go out for a walk, but the phone in the office rang.

"Hello." Louis greeted.

"Is this Coach Lu?" The caller's voice was very pleasant. Louis remembered many scam calls he had received in his previous life, and the other party's voice was very pleasant.

Louis said calmly: "If you are here to sell cable TV, I won't talk nonsense to you. I have told you before that unless you can broadcast restricted content on TV, don't expect me to pay."

The other party was speechless for a while.

"Coach Lu, I'm here to discuss a business deal with you." The caller then began to introduce himself, "I am John McLeod, the head coach of the Phoenix Suns."

Hearing this name, Louis became wary.

"Coach McLeod, do you have any business to discuss with me? You want me to help you find college students, right?" Louis said modestly, "I'm not a scout now."

"No, Coach Lu, I want to make a deal with your team. We each get what we need."

Louis became more alert.

In today's league, what is the operating model during the season? The remnants of 1982 still circulate to this day. The head coach still has supreme power and can formulate trading plans and plans. As long as it is not too outrageous, the management will basically agree and promote the completion of the transaction.

.

Celtic are one of the few exceptions.

Bossy people like Bill Fitch can't make any deal without Auerbach's consent.

Moreover, because McLeod deceived Auerbach, he is basically synonymous with "son of a bitch" in the mouth of old people.

"How do we each get what we need?" Louis thought he might as well listen.

MacLeod laughed and said: "I heard that Cedric Maxwell has been restless recently. He is unwilling to come off the bench. This will surely bring many obstacles to your championship. Haven't you ever thought of trading him?

"

The opponent's target was aimed at Louis' current headache.

Maxwell has indeed become a problem. Louis has thought about trading, but he is not sure about exchanging goods of equal value. If the transaction fails, it will also disturb the morale of the army, because once the rumors of the transaction spread, Maxwell is likely to blow himself up.

"No way, Cedric will be a Celtic until the day he dies." Louis said in a strong tone.

"If you can't win a championship, you're not a true Celtic."

"You are a little forgetful, Coach McLeod, we won the championship two years ago." Louis reminded.

McLeod asked: "With the Celtics' lineup, can winning a championship really satisfy everyone?"

The answer is obvious. Championship coach Fitch has left get out of class and gone to Houston to help another bad team.

"Coach McLeod, it's impossible for us to trade Cedric, but I'm very interested in your plan. Let's assume that Cedric is tradable. What kind of trading plan would you give?"

Macleod didn't expect Louis to be so glib.

First say that Maxwell is not tradable, then express interest in trading, and then ask him to propose a trading plan assuming that Maxwell is tradable.

"Okay, Coach Lu, you must also know our situation. It is expected that there will be many talented players entering the draft next year. We want to give up the present to win the future."

"Well, that's good. I support you."

MacLeod, who was opposite him, didn't know how to slander Louis.

"So we decided to send one of the best big men in the league, Alvan Adams (CPF), in exchange for Cedric."

"Coach Lu?"

"Coach Lu, are you listening?"

"Here you are," Louis smiled, "I just spent a few seconds thinking about it. I want to know who Alvan Adams is. Coach McLeod, you said he is one of the best insiders in the league, why don't I recognize him?"

he?"

McLeod said in surprise: "Are you kidding, Coach Lu? Alvan was the fourth pick in 1975, and was the best insider in the history of the Suns. He once scored a triple-double of 47 points in a game.

.”

"Since he is one of the best big men in the league, he should have been selected to the All-NBA Team at least once or twice, right?"

"Well"

"No? Well, what about the number of All-Star selections? There should be two or three times, right?"

"Coach Lu, you are a bit of a theory of honor. Although Alvan has not been selected to the best team and has only been selected to the All-Star once, he is definitely one of the best insiders in the league, because during his peak period, there were still many players in the league.

There are superstars like Dave Cowens, Elvin Hayes, Kareem, Wes Unseld."

Louis really enjoyed the time he had with each other.

"You are right, honor theory is indeed bad, but if you want to say that this thing is not good, you must first own it. If you don't have this thing but claim that this thing is bad, it is very likely that you will not get it.

Jealousy, don't you think, Coach McLeod?"

MacLeod never expected that he and Louis would be so quarrelsome about Adams.

Now he still has to prove it to his dear disciple, "Alvan was the Rookie of the Year that year. Do you know who his classmates were?"

"who?"

"David Thompson who hasn't smoked yet."

"I don't study well, don't lie to me, Coach McLeod."

"Coach Lu, how could I lie to you? Erwin is definitely underestimated."

"Okay," Louis scoffed, "looks like I have to force myself to delete the memory of David Thompson playing in the ABA that year."

Macleod no longer wanted to talk nonsense with Louis about Adams. It was originally a bait thrown by him, but he didn't expect Louis to really take the bait. After the exchange, Louis enjoyed it, and Macleod himself was tormented.

He was forced to use sophistry to explain that Adams's strength was not bad. It was not bad in the first place, but it was just not as good as he said. But if he didn't explain the matter clearly, this boy Louis might think that he was here to deceive others. Although he was indeed

I came here to trick people, but I never imagined that Louis would be so difficult to deal with.

McLeod changed his tune: "Coach Lu, I come here with sincerity. If we don't plan for the future of the team, we don't want to trade Erwin."

"I understand, Coach McLeod, even if Elvin Adams is the number one post in the league, I won't be interested. We have Bill Laimbeer, Ralph Sampson, and Larry can also be a guest post. Why?

Why do you want an old man with the highest salary in the team to come on the bench?"

Finally, the topic can be advanced.

MacLeod said hurriedly: "If you don't like Erwin, you can choose someone else to trade with. We have nothing not for sale."

"Really? I won't embarrass you too much, right?"

"No, everyone gets what they need."

"Okay, let's say we want to trade Cedric," Louis said, "He is only 28 years old and can be the No. 1 or No. 2 offensive option for most teams in the league. He has the experience to win championships.

Whether it's a strong championship team or a rebuilding tank team, players like him are needed. Therefore, I think the only one in the Suns team who meets our needs is Larry Nance."

Louis believed that the call should end here.

Nance should be the core of the Suns' reconstruction. He is still very young, only 24 years old, averaging 18 points and 8 rebounds per game. He can be regarded as one of the first batch of modern power forwards, with animal-like athletic ability and physical fitness.

If they can really get him, the Celtics won't have any dead ends.

Although Maxwell is good, if Nance can be traded, Louis will not even frown.

"I know this is difficult for you. Please think about it carefully. If there are any results, please call me at any time. Goodbye."

Just as Louis was about to hang up, the other end of the phone shouted: "Coach Lu, wait a minute!"

No way?

"Is there anything else?" No way?

"Coach Road"

No way?

"Your proposal is indeed overwhelming for us, but we are determined to move forward."

No way?

"You must be well aware of Larry's upside potential. If you want him, in addition to Cedric Maxwell, you will need to send additional draft picks."

"What do you think if we give two more first-round picks?"

"I think we can close the deal successfully."

Louis' hands were shaking. He originally thought it was a scam call, talking nonsense, but it turned out to be serious?
