The rest is just noise

A coach who can switch between laughing and scolding at will is destined not to be easy to deal with.

Louis is also taking this opportunity to test the characters of the players one by one.

His current team management method is similar to that of the 1983-84 season, but at that time, the Celtics had many highly respected players.

Although Louis was domineering, he did not suppress them too much.

Take Bird, for example, who often quarreled with Louis.

There is also Ranbir, who acts as the biggest vicious dog in the team. Although he bites, he is very protective of his owner.

Even Louis has to give Ranbir a thumbs up and praise him as a good dog. He is very happy to accept his position and has extended and expanded the word dog to the extreme.

In a word, Louis has never seen a worse person than Ranbir.

With people like Laimbeer around, no matter how Louis loses his temper, the atmosphere of the team will not be depressing. But in the current Celtics team, there seems to be no one who is unambiguous, willing to do dirty work, and still

A good dog that really likes to be a target.

Fortunately, Roy was there today, otherwise the training atmosphere would have been depressing.

After thinking about it, Louis still felt that Wu Xia had not shown the responsibility of a leader. Louis had tolerated Szczerbiak for long enough. As a teammate, Wu Xia should have felt more deeply about the former's mistakes, but he never took the initiative to stand up.

Point out Szczerbiak's mistake.

Maybe he was thinking about Szczerbiak, but doing so would only push him further.

After the day's training session, Louis left half an hour for the players to make their own arrangements. As soon as Louis returned to the office, assistant coaches such as Laimbeer, Riley, and Cole followed. "What did you think of today's training session?" Louis asked

.

Ranbir, the bastard, said directly: "Your prestige is still the same as before. Larry really can't do this to you."

"Don't talk nonsense, I want to know what you think of this training session." Cole analyzed Szczerbiak.

He analyzed a lot, and it can be said that everything is correct. Maybe even Szczerbiak himself didn't realize that he had so many problems.

However, Szczerbiak, as a problem in itself, can be regarded as an obvious problem.

It's an obvious question, so what's the use of looking into it?

Later, Mike Budenholzer, who followed Louis from Los Angeles to the Chinese Men's Basketball National Team and then to Boston, said: "Although Wally is not very adaptable to the team's new tactics, he is not that bad. He today

It seems very abnormal, maybe it’s because Coach Lu personally conducts the tactics class.”

Hearing this, Louis joked: "So, I have to take more tactical lessons. It seems that I put more pressure on them than in the playoffs."

John Long, the shooting coach of the Celtics who is also a shooter, shared his views: "As a shooter, his strength relies on two things: the team's tactics and the radiation of the core players' personal abilities. The former can create tactics for him

Opportunities, the latter can help him get shooting opportunities easily. Obviously, Wally can't find anything to rely on under the new system, so he will behave like a headless fly."

Finally, Louis' eyes fell on Riley.

Riley did not hesitate to share his opinion: "Whether it was Wally Szczerbiak or anyone else, their performance in today's tactical class was below average. From a pressure point of view, everyone was unqualified."

Riley put it succinctly: "'The team is lacking a player who can pat them on the shoulder and calm them down when they are confused and panicking."

Long and Riley got to the heart of the matter, echoing Louie's.

Louis is pleased that he has a comprehensive and strong coaching staff.

In this case, their opinions and views are crucial for Louis to formulate future coaching plans.

By the time the coaching staff's small meeting ended, it was already an hour later.

Louis walked out of the office and was about to go home, but met his son outside the office. As soon as Lu Wuxia finished training, he wanted to talk to his father, but he heard that there was a meeting inside and did not go in.

Later, he became impatient with waiting and decided to

First I went to the locker room to take a shower, then changed my clothes, and finally returned to the office to wait for the meeting to end.

"Don't you have a date today?"

Louis asked casually.

"No."

"Then let's go home together? It just so happens that I don't want to drive..." As soon as Louis finished speaking, he said flawlessly, "I want to talk to you about the team."

Louis smiled and said, "So it's still working time?"

"That's right, coach."

"That's okay."

Louis and Wu Xia did not leave the Waltham Training Center, but found a small shop in the base that usually provided drinks for management personnel to sit down.

This is a shop under Ewing's name, which provides drinks and snacks with a rich Jamaican flavor.

Watching the hot female clerk introducing the menu to him, Louis knew that Ewing was an old-hearted bastard.

Due to Ewing's early pranks, Louis had a bad impression of both the drinks and food in Jamaica, so he would rather have a cup of Zimbabwe coffee.

"Low-fat skim milk, and I don't want to see cinnamon on the minced meat."

His son looked at him strangely, forcing Louis to explain his choice, "I'm controlling my weight."

"No need, you are the best 46-year-old man on earth."

"Thank you for reminding me that I still have 4 years to go before I turn 50."

Lu Wuxia smiled. This was the feeling he always had when getting along with his father. However, once he came to the team, his father was no longer like this.

He became moody and unapproachable, no one could figure out his thoughts, and everyone was afraid of him.

"How good is this?" Lu Wuxia asked, "Why do you want to lead the team in that way?"

Louis smiled and asked: "Which way?"

"Just like Neil's dad."

"who?"

"Neil Perry's father in "Dead Poets Society".

Louie remembers this movie.

How could he forget? This movie, released in 1989, also gave birth to the famous "coaching gag" of the Knicks dynasty.

In the play, Neil's death stems from his father's obstruction of his dreams, which ultimately led him to commit suicide.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xia would say that his style is like Neil's father.

"Do you think this is wrong?" Louis asked.

Lu Wuxia shook his head.

So Louis asked, "Then why didn't you stop it?"

This time, Wu Xia was stopped.

"If you think there's something wrong with the way I treat other people, why don't you stand up and stop me? You are the core of the team, and you have to protect them under your wing."

Wu Xia asked: "Even if you have to fight against the coaching staff for this?"

"It's not confrontation, it's prevention." Louis said, "Do you remember how Brandon helped you and Wally get out of trouble? He chose to be a clown. This is a way. I'm glad he did it. This at least proves

He's a reliable teammate. And you, Wuxia, why don't you do the same? Brandon is just a rookie, you are a fourth-year veteran, but I still haven't seen you show the responsibility of a veteran, you don't

Stopping me is like you not pointing out Wally's shortcomings during training, nor correcting his mistakes like a leader."

"You don't think it's enough to just sit here and tell me what I'm doing wrong, do you?"

Lu Wuxia didn't understand why his father was so eager to push him into the position of leader. There were obviously more senior players than him in the team.

"There is not only one way to lead the team, I can be like Tim Duncan." Before Wu Xia finished speaking, Louis interrupted him: "Recognize the reality, you are not Ti, you can't become Ti, you haven't even become Ti.

Maybe, you are just saying this to evade responsibility. Of course, this is your reason, and no one can force you to accept this responsibility. However, I can also tell you clearly that if you cannot become the kind of person the team needs,

Leader, last season's disastrous defeat will continue."

For Lu Wuxia, the difficulty is not to become a leader, but to be the leader of the team as the son of the boss...and the son of the coach.

No matter how he performs, there will always be people who say that he is like this because he has such a father.

Once he becomes what his father calls a responsible leader, it means that from now on, he will not only have to restrain himself, but also lead others.

If someone on the team makes a mistake, he has to criticize it before the coaching staff. At this time, his identity will make things more sensitive.

But this is what he has to do now.

Unless he wants to see "last season's disastrous defeat continue", otherwise, he can only do it.

"Dad, I have already thought about my opening remarks at the Hall of Fame speech in the future." Lu Wuxia looked at his father and said calmly, "I have had a wonderful career, and at the same time, I have also left behind many lessons.

Today, I’m going to share the biggest lesson of all with anyone who comes after me—never play for your dad.”

"Well said, but I have a suggestion. It would be more effective if you leave this sentence until the end."

"good suggestion."

"Also, you forgot again," Louis picked up the coffee, "you must address your duties when working."

PS: Yesterday, I played two games at Station B. The most profound thing I felt was that some movies really have to go to the cinema to enjoy the top quality. Streaming media is really boring.
