The rest is just noise

NBA Commissioner Larry O'Brien sternly rejected Levine's application. The Celtics have a glorious history and a deep fan base, and the league cannot let the most legendary team in history leave Boston.

However, Levine was determined to leave Boston.

The annual meeting is filled with people who want to change their difficult circumstances.

Braves owner John Y. Brown was interested in Boston.

His Braves were having a rough season in Brofa, and he was determined to move the team.

Brown is a freewheeling gambler who will do anything to make a profit.

He realized that Brofa had no fan base, and that the team would go bankrupt sooner or later if they stayed here. However, their contract with Brofa Auditorium still had five years, and there was an additional clause in the contract. If the average attendance during the season did not exceed 4,500

The person and venue owner can terminate the contract unilaterally without paying liquidated damages.

Although the Browns are in Brofa, his heart has changed to the shape of other cities. He may not be able to turn the Braves into a championship team, but it would be too easy to ruin it. He

He carried out a series of outrageous operations to make the team bad, and successfully reduced the average attendance to less than 4,500 people. Then he went to find someone to terminate the contract, and the result was successful.

He was already ready to do so, but he didn't expect Levin to give him a better option.

He proposed an equity exchange and wanted to conduct the first and only team trade in NBA history with Levine - he sent Brofa to the Braves and got the Celtics. In this way, they all got rid of their own thoughts.

Those who want to get rid of it will have a bright future.

O'Brien's purpose is to keep the Celtics in Boston. As for who hands over the ownership of the Celtics, he doesn't care. This matter has nothing to do with the interests of other owners, so no one will stand up to stop it.

occur.

The vote went off without a hitch, and the two owners swapped teams.

Additionally, with professional advice from league legal counsel David Stern, O'Brien agreed with Levine's idea of ​​moving the Braves to California.

By the end of June, both sides had only one issue left.

Neither Brown nor Levin wants to take advantage of the other. They both hope to pick good prospects from the already rotten team to the new team.

In this matter, Brown had no choice. He left the right to select players to Boston. Levine could have further hindered Boston's reconstruction, but he did not do that. He left the right to select Braves players to Auerbach. This

It's the only tenderness he has for this team.

At the same time, he will take away four Celtics players, two of whom are Kevin Kunert and Kermit Washington (Kermit Washington PF/C) who have become free agents, and the other two candidates, he

Targeting the players selected in this year's Celtics draft. Initially, he wanted to take away the signing rights of Freeman Williams and Larry Bird. If he did, what many people know is that

The 1980s would be completely changed.

Then, his lawyer Frank Rothman, who knew nothing about basketball, gave a "professional" opinion. He believed that those players who could fight should be taken away because they could not confirm that Bird was

What kind of performance can a prospect hailed by scouts as a once-in-a-century prospect have? And he has to play in school for another year. What if he gets injured? What if he suddenly becomes useless? He can't run fast or jump.

God damn knows how to shoot a few shots...just let Boston wait for their "savior" to arrive.

Levin actually thought he was very professional, nodded in agreement, and took away Williams and Maurice Cheeks.

When Levine took over the Braves, he moved them to San Diego and renamed the team the Clippers.

Under the coercion of this force majeure, the Green Army management headed by Auerbach selected "bad news" Marvin Barnes and Billy Knight SG from the chaotic Braves team.

, "Elf" Archibald and two future second-round picks.

Bostonians who follow basketball thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, but there will be many things that will make them gasp in the future.

The restoration of a dynasty is never that simple.

Before Levin left, the secretary called Louis one last time.

To this day, Louis already knows Levin's thoughts.

Maybe Levine really appreciates him. If he goes, he will be reused and become the first basketball player in history to occupy a position in the management at the age of 18. But in that case, he can't hide what he concealed about Li Xuanbing.

Also, he heard that Levine changed the name of the Braves to the Clippers. He thought about the next owner of the Clippers, Donald Sterling... This made him tremble.

A brief moment of beauty surrounded by an uncertain and terrifying future.

He rejected the last opportunity. After all, he was only 18 years old and there would be more opportunities in the future, but this was by no means the best opportunity.

In July, the Celtics welcomed a brand new team.

Louis was somewhat regretful that Maurice Cheeks, whom he single-handedly selected, was abducted by Levine before he even played a game for the Celtics.

Now he believes that Levine really appreciates him, otherwise he would not have chosen Cheeks, who made Louis shine at the ventilation meeting, as the team to build the new team.

Louis took over a new roster from K.C. Jones.

It contains most of the junior players, who will be promoted to seniors in September.

They also briefly noted their college statistics, and some of the players marked with asterisks are Boston's homegrown stars. From a fan-attracting perspective, these guys are key targets to watch.

Louis is too lazy to care about this. The local plot is the most important thing. The NBA is not like the CBA where each team has its own youth training team. The talent selection can be closer to the local. The draft system of selecting elites from all over the country makes it better to select local talents and ignore them.

The use of foreign talent has turned into an extremely unprofessional behavior.

Louis was dazzled by hundreds of names.

When he looked at the time, it was almost noon.

His stomach growled softly, reminding him that it was time to eat.

Louis had no choice but to take the document with him. He was eager to find someone who sounded familiar to him from the hundreds of lists just like he found Cheeks.

As a time traveler, it is difficult for him to take full advantage of his open eyes in the contemporary era because he really does not understand the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

Therefore, if he encounters a name that sounds familiar to him, no matter what, that person is definitely not simple.

It would be even more extraordinary if he could meet a name he recognized. He must be an extraordinary person.

Louis walked out of the Greek Academy. He was applying for a driver's license and would buy a car as soon as the license came out. Before then, he had to be careful.

Every day, he sees groups of blacks and whites protesting.

They were protesting Boston's school busing system.

In the early 1970s, in order to deal with the legacy of segregation, Boston's education system issued a mandatory decree: blacks and whites must be mixed on school buses, preferably in a ratio of 5:5.

This angered two groups of people at the same time.

Then, this weird policy forcing black children to mix with white children spread to schools. During the apartheid era, blacks and whites were in different classes even if they attended the same school. There was one class for blacks and one class for whites. Now

As soon as this decree came out, schools began to force children from the two ethnic groups to study together in a 50-50 ratio.

This completely angered the white people who were prejudiced against black people. The protests began. Sensitive black people were already unhappy in life. When they saw that white people had opinions, they also had opinions. After all, there are many hidden rules behind forcing children into classes. The school may let them

Bad kids get together and good kids go to another class. As time goes on, the good ones get better and the bad ones get worse.

The school bus chaos started in Boston and then spread across the United States.

Louis has to avoid these troubles every day. He never wants to get involved in this shit for no reason, and then be beaten by extreme racists with a flag pole. After being photographed by reporters, he has the nerve to say that it is the dirt of old glory - because

The Stars and Stripes were originally sacred, but now they are used to convey violence?

Americans are really humble. They really don't seem to know that in the eyes of foreigners, the Stars and Stripes is a symbol of violence.

If any small or medium-sized country discovers that Americans are holding this flag to spread evil deeds, at least it will lose their political power, and at worst, their country will be destroyed.

Louis walked into a Chinese restaurant and ordered fried noodles, dumplings, and General Tso's chicken - although they were all Chinese dishes, none of them had Chinese flavor, but they were cheap.

While waiting for the waiter to serve the food, he continued to check the names on the list.

He read quickly...

His eyes, and his hands that kept sliding down, finally stopped in front of a well-known name - Larry Bird, a current junior at Indiana State University.

"Gan Lin!" Louis imitated Wu Sansheng and cursed, "Is this list so hasty? Bird has it?!"

"Guest, do you need any help?"

The waiter is a Filipino and his attitude is very friendly.

"Serving food quickly is the biggest help," Louis said.

"Please wait!"

Louis continued to look down. He poured himself water with his other hand, about half a cup. He picked it up and was about to drink it when a name with an asterisk suddenly popped up - Bill Laimbeer, current junior at the University of Notre Dame, Boston.
