The rest is just noise

In June, Louis split his salary in two.

Sending a copy to his family, although the money is not much, is his intention and his sense of responsibility to share the pressure on his family.

Li Xuanbing thought he was still on vacation. Thanks to Americans' general dislike of the NBA and the fact that scouts are the least paid attention in the entire system, there is no risk of Louis being exposed in the short term.

The selection of Bird laid the foundation stone for the Celtics' resurgence, and several other excellent draft picks seem to be sure to play a role in the future.

Louis spent a week relaxing before getting ready to start the next phase of his work.

He wants a list of graduates who will be seniors next year.

As soon as he started his work, he was interrupted.

He was in the scout's office when the secretary he met two weeks ago suddenly entered his office.

Louie remembers the secretary because he conveyed the owner's desire for the team to skip Bird like a top-five pick, which was more realistic.

"Lu, most people are on vacation at this time, what are you doing?" the secretary came with good intentions.

"My colleagues are all experienced professionals, but I am still a child. I am not even of legal drinking age." Louis' words caused a strange emotion to rise on the secretary's face.

Are you still a child? And then you can just step on John Killilla's face with your foot?

How many children can escape unscathed after humiliating Kirilia like that?

"I know that the stupid bird flies first, so I can't slack off for a moment." said the "child" who had just spent seven nights of ecstasy in the bellies of seven strange women.

The secretary praised: "No wonder Mr. Levin values ​​you so much!"

"Mr. Levine?" Louis only hesitated for a second before he realized that the "Mr. Levine" the secretary spoke of was none other than Celtics owner Irving Levine.

However, the discord between the Celtics management and the owners has been a traditional phenomenon since 1966.

If he offends his boss, he will at most have his salary deducted; if he offends Auerbach, he will never be able to survive here.

So, "I'm just a kid." Because he's a kid, don't come to him for trouble. How can he be a low-level scout?

"Don't be nervous, Lou." The more the secretary said this, the more nervous Louis became. "Mr. Irving heard about your incident at the briefing meeting. He compared you to Moses Malone among managers. You are still very immature, but you will have great potential in the future."

It must be unlimited.”

Louis giggled like he was demented: "But I'm still a child now, aren't I?"

The secretary really didn't expect that he was so thick-skinned. It was enough for others to say that he was a child. It was usually to object to what he said - should an 18-year-old brat listen to what he said? They wanted to convey this message -

-But, how could he take it seriously?

He is already an official employee of the Celtics, why are he pretending to be young?

"Okay, Lu, I now officially ask you something on behalf of Mr. Irving."

"I wish it was something I, a child, could answer..."

The secretary asked: "Are you interested in taking on a more important role in another city?"

These words made Louis unable to turn around.

If he heard correctly, the boss wanted him to find another job.

Is this the way to dismiss people in the 1970s? First, you flatter him in a fancy way, and then say that you have been dismissed, and your talking skills are even better than Mr. Ma. He actually said, "You are interested in taking on a more important role in other cities."

"? Wow, that's amazing!

"Did I do something wrong?" Louis was puzzled.

"Lu, you misunderstood." The secretary explained, "The boss means that he intends to arrange a better job for you in another city."

This...Louis doesn't understand even more.

He is a child... Although he has the advantage of being a time traveler and submitted his test paper, it is foreseeable that he will eventually get high scores, but he has not received the teacher's approval after all. Why is this boss so arrogant? Moreover, to go to other cities

If you want to get a better job, it must have nothing to do with basketball, right?

Louis had never heard of an owner running two teams at the same time.

"The only thing I know is basketball."

As soon as Louis finished speaking, the secretary smiled lightly.

"Mr. Levine has no intention of letting you leave basketball."

This thing is so weird. Give him a better job, and it's still a basketball job. If Levine values ​​him so much, shouldn't he stay in Boston to play for the Celtics?

No matter what his intentions were, even if they were kind, Louis could not risk his future.

"Please tell Mr. Levin for me to thank him for his kindness." Louis solemnly refused, "I like Boston very much. The life here makes me feel comfortable. I have no intention of leaving for the time being."

The secretary finally said: "Lu, you will know why all this happened in a few days. You can still change your mind by then. Here is my contact information."

"Please believe me, Mr. Levin appreciates your talent." The secretary handed over his contact information.

The chaos the Celtics experienced in the 1970s was related to two points.

The ownership of the team changes frequently, and they have had many owners, and basically none of them can be called a good owner.

They are either arbitrary and have no money, or they have no money, or they have money but are stingy, or a combination of these problems... Irving Levine belongs to the third party. He won the ownership of the Celtics in a lawsuit and brought

Team's former owner sent to jail.

In the early days of his tenure with the Celtics, he had many conflicts with team coach Tom Heinsohn. So when the Celtics inevitably declined, Heinsohn immediately became the one to take the blame.

Although owning the Celtics was something he was deeply proud of, what happened in John Havlicek's retirement battle in the last game of the 1977-78 season made this wealthy and powerful man heartbroken.

Disheartened.

The game was delayed for eight minutes due to crowd noise. Havlicek walked to the center of the court, faced the stands, raised his arms, and bowed. At halftime, the Celtics held a special ceremony for him.

Ceremony. Since Havlicek loves outdoor activities, they gave him a campervan.

This was Levin's decision. He admired craftsmen like Havlicek who abided by their duties and completed all the work within their capabilities.

He also loved the limelight, so when celebrities took the stage to talk about how great Havlicek was, he wanted to join them. What he didn't know was that the fans didn't like him. Although Auerbach was never there

He was criticized in front of the media, but Heinsohn was good at using his big mouth to embarrass his boss. If the media continues to build momentum, fans can only gain infinite hatred for Levine from a limited perspective.

Levine hadn't even said a word. When the host introduced him to the audience, the fans' boos swept through the garden like a tsunami.

Levin's wife covered her mouth, his child was frightened and cried, but he could only force a smile. When the camera moved away from him, he left the garden angrily.

He is very stingy and is unwilling to spend too much money to build the team, but the current NBA is already in turmoil, and no owner is willing to spend more money. For Levine, he has done his best for this team.

He tried hard to integrate into the Celtics but failed to achieve results.

The boos for Havlicek's retirement battle are still ringing in his ears, and his relationship with this team has been severed.

So, at the NBA's annual meeting at the end of June, he asked commissioner Larry O'Brien to move the Celtics to a more profitable market.

This caused an earthquake at the meeting!
