The rest is just noise

When Louis was working at TNT, he said: "We tell stories to keep ourselves alive."

Now, that's who Reed Auerbach is.

For most people in this world, this name no longer means anything.

To the basketball world, he is also a has-been.

Only in Boston would Auerbach's name cause some waves.

To some people, he is still a very admirable senior, but even so, Auerbach still needs to find a group of old friends to gather in a Chinese restaurant to talk about the past.

Louis turned and left wordlessly.

After that, Auerbach also left.

He left Fleet Center, and no one knew if this was the last time he would come to watch a Celtics game.

Fortunately, the Celtics did not disappoint tonight.

In the team's first year of cheerleading, the Celtics won the first championship of the Louis era.

Louis just entered the locker room and said a few words casually, and then these extremely excited young people rushed out of the locker room.

Because the live event is not over yet.

The league's staff built a gorgeous championship stage, David Stern prepared a speech, and everything was in place for the FMVP selection.

In the past nearly 30 years of his life, Louis has always stood on the team's championship stage as a coach. Tonight, he will put on the cap as the boss for the first time and win the championship that many teams dream of.

Wrapped trophy.

"Isn't it a very different feeling?" Bird asked with a smile.

Holding the O'Brien Cup in his hand, Louis indeed had many different feelings. "Hey, why didn't I think this trophy was so beautiful before?" Louis said from the bottom of his heart.

This is his first boss championship!

Ewing, the team's vice president, rolled his eyes: "It's only been five years since you didn't win the championship. That's it. If you don't win the championship for ten years, I really can't think of it."

Louis held the trophy and hummed: "You, a person who hasn't won a championship in almost ten years, really dare to say that!"

They bickered on stage while Stern delivered the same greetings in a loud voice.

When he announced the fact that the 2004-05 NBA championship was the Boston Celtics, Louis raised the championship trophy high and left a classic photo in the crowd of the team.

Later, ESPN reporter David Aldridge asked: "Coach Lu, how is this championship different from the past?"

"It's so different," Louis gushed. "This is the first championship that has no direct connection with me. It's also the first championship that I don't control at all. It's also the first championship that I barely have any influence on."

I want to thank Patrick and Larry for helping the Celtics grow from a naive young team into a solid championship. Of course, I also want to thank the young guys behind them.

The courage and belief are the reasons why we won the championship..."

Although Louis talks as if he is a hands-off boss, no one will believe that the Celtics championship has nothing to do with him.

Because almost all of the Celtics’ absolute main players were selected by Louis before he became the big boss.

At that time, Louis was still the president of the Celtics. Can he say that the selection of those people had nothing to do with him?

Now these players have won the championship as the core main force and rotation of the Celtics. Even if they were not coached by him personally, they were the seeds he planted a few years ago.

If no one sows, there will be no fruit.

Then came the final highlight of the night, the selection of FMVP.

Judging from the data, the main choice is between Yao Yueban and Lu Wuxia.

The former averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds per game in the finals, and the latter averaged 27 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists per game in the finals.

If Louis had a choice, he would choose Yao Yueban as FMVP.

It's not that Yao Yue is more suitable, but that this can alleviate the conflicts within the team to the greatest extent.

Being elected as FMVP is equivalent to letting Wuxia take away

After losing all the limelight, the crux of the problem will return to its original stage - the public can only see Lu Wuxia and not the other Celtics.

However, the league and the media who love to create gods will not let Lu Wuxia, who has higher statistics and higher commercial value and is more suitable than Yao Yueban in any case, loses the FMVP.

There is no suspense, Lu Wuxia was elected the most valuable player of the finals with a high vote.

Moreover, his teammates looked very happy, as if everyone thought that ish was well-received.

They touched Wu Xia's head, patted his shoulders, gently pushed him forward, and asked him to catch the trophy.

At that moment, Louis saw overflowing satisfaction on his son's face.

Wearing a peaked cap, he faced the camera with a sweet smile on his face that showed the beauty of his genes. The host asked him to give a speech for winning the FMVP. He said: "To me, this trophy is not the most valuable in the finals.

The player award is not the best team award in the NBA this season. It belongs to me and my teammates, all of us are the best players!"

Lu Wuxia's perfect speech brought the evening to a successful ending.

Watching Lu Wuxia achieve the most glorious night in his life so far, Louis' thoughts also changed somewhat.

When he first chose to return to Boston, he wanted to form a black-free team to win the championship. Now it seems that it was very impulsive and was purely an excuse to force himself to come back from his idle state.

Now he discovered a bigger target.

Letting Wu Xia have a great career and a bright future is what Louis is more interested in doing now.

As for the No Black team winning the championship, let it happen.

If you really have the chance, you can give it a try. If you don't have the chance, don't force it. Compared with your son, this matter is not important at all.

After the finals ended, Louis had a few things to do.

Trade Tony Parker.

As Parker was benched by Bird in the playoffs, he broke out flawlessly and proved his ability to control the situation. Starting from the new season, the Celtics' style of play will definitely change.

As a player with All-Star potential who is in the period of rapid rise and rookie bonus period, Parker will never be willing to sit on the bench and play as a substitute.

Rather than waiting until the new season and watching him become a problem for the team, it is better to eliminate the hidden dangers before he becomes a problem.

The second is to use the team to win the championship to open various modes of making money.

Souvenirs, merchandise signed by players, championship posters, and even T-shirts with Yao Yue's half-face expression pack printed on them are all sources of income.

The final step is to negotiate with the owner of the fleet center.

With the Celtics' current momentum, the ball market will definitely be booming in the next few years. If they cannot accept Louis' suggestion and upgrade the on-site seats and other audio-visual equipment, Louis will have no choice but to change the arena as their home court.

And, he has a valid reason, it's all for the fans!

Among these things, the first thing to do is to trade Parker.

But Louis can't make the deal now, because the team has just won the championship and everyone is in a happy mood, including Parker. Although he has been basically a substitute since the fifth game of the Eastern Conference Finals, he is also proud that he can win the championship with the team.

And excited.

Being a substitute in the last few games of the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals is only temporary for him. When the new season starts, the great coach Bird will definitely find a way for him and ish to coexist.

At this time, if Louis trades people, it will not only break Parker's heart, but also ruin the mood of other players celebrating the championship.

Therefore, the safest way is to negotiate the contract first. The main thing is to negotiate the deal quietly and without making any noise.

If he doesn't want to leak the news, Louis can only negotiate deals with people he trusts. Louis looked at this year's lottery favorites and found that there were basically no people the team needed. The 2005 draft was a weird one, and the number one pick, Big Rebodog, was on the qualifying line for the number one pick—

—It’s not as good as Bodog’s top picks, all of whom are labeled as parallel imports — Below Bodog, the only ones worth picking in the lottery are Deron and Paul.

The problem is that the Celtics don't need a core point guard.

therefore

, if you want to change lottery picks, it is also for trading.

Although Parker had a hip strain in the Eastern Conference Finals, his performance throughout the season was not ugly. Everyone could see that he had All-Star potential, and he still had one year left on his rookie bonus. It would be absolutely impossible to trade him for a lottery pick.

no problem.

Louie found the Charlotte Bobcats.

This year's Bobcats team is headed by Wilson. As Benj and Jordan take control of the team's affairs, the two gradually reach a consensus. They both want to run the team, but the team can only have one talkative person, but they are both football players.

What should I do, the team's little boss? It's very simple, two people work in shifts and one person is in charge for a year.

It was Jordan who called the shots last offseason, and this year it's Wilson's turn.

The Bobcats have this year's No. 6 pick. If they can exchange the No. 6 pick for the young and immediate ability of a quasi-All-Star like Parker, it will definitely not be a loss-making deal.

Moreover, Wilson also believed that Louis would not cheat him.

Although Jordan strongly opposed the deal and believed it would be better to select North Carolina's Raymond Felton with the sixth pick, Wilson did not take his words seriously and reached a verbal agreement with Louis.

Now, Louis can take the Bobcats' No. 6 pick and go out to other teams to yell at him.
