The rest is just noise

In August, Louis returned to the United States.

To be specific, back to Boston.

A few days ago, Boston announced that Little, who led the team to 87 wins and 12 losses last season, had not completed his contract extension with the team. Therefore, chief assistant K.C. Jones will replace him and become the new head coach of the Celtics.

"No matter where he goes in the future, Louis will always be a member of the Celtics family. Thank you for his hard work and contribution over the past six years!"

After learning the news, Celtic fans were devastated.

Something more comical happened.

After the Celtics announced that they had failed to renew Louis' contract, the New York Knicks seemed to be in a hurry and announced in a hurry: "We welcome Little Lu to join New York City and we have reached a five-year contract with him."

New Yorkers were devastated when they heard the news.

Almost no one believes that Louis can succeed in New York because the Knicks do not have as good a lineup and team as the Celtics.

In addition, he is at odds with the New York media.

The only newspaper with which he has a good relationship, the New York Post, doesn't broadcast much sports news.

The "New York Times", which is "incompatible" with Louis, immediately looked down on this signing: "It is 100% certain that this is the Knicks' most failed signing after Spencer Haywood. They were exposed by Little.

Success in Boston blinded the mind.

If we regard Little Lu as the 'Messiah', we will definitely be disappointed. It is undeniable that he has the qualities of a top coach, but basketball is a sport that does not require coaches so much. Bill Russell once served as a player

He won two championships as a coach concurrently. In fact, the NBA should abolish professional coaches and allow core players to serve as coaches concurrently.

I'm sure the result will be no different."

For the sake of Black Louis, they did not hesitate to offend all the coaches.

The Times is the New York media that has the worst attitude towards Louis, and they are also the most enthusiastic big media in New York City about sports news.

This is what Louis calls "one of the two icebergs."

During the same period, Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe expressed his concerns about Louie: "I know Little Louie, and I believe he can succeed anywhere but New York. The press there doesn't like him, and the fans don't like him even more."

He was impatient, and his relationship with Bernard King was so bad that they had an irresolvable conflict at last season's All-Star break."

Before Louis even took a job with the Knicks, and he didn't even look for a house, he was deemed to have a bleak future.

This shows how rough his road ahead is.

Louis returned to Boston and used his children to persuade Li Xuanbing to move again.

Lorraine is about to give birth, and they are going to New York together. As a grandmother, doesn't she want to hug the child when it's born? Doesn't she want to take care of the child? Is being kind and neighborly more important than family happiness?

The answer is obviously that Li Xuanbing was persuaded by Louis.

Lorraine was much simpler. She was originally going to go to college in New York, but the date was postponed because she was pregnant.

Now, having convinced Li Xuanbing, Louis no longer has any worries.

Before he left, he sent a voice message to every friend in Boston to say goodbye.

On August 2, Louis' family of three, no, it should be four, got on a plane to New York together.

Louis arrived in a low-key manner and did not alert the media.

Luigi asked a friend in New York to buy a complete house that can be moved in with everything in hand.

Another advantage of moving to New York is that Lorraine can live in his own home. Now, he no longer has to run back and forth every day.

Seeing Lorraine's growing belly, Li Xuanbing's attitude towards her is getting better every day.

Such a beautiful daughter-in-law (actually not yet) will definitely give birth to a child that is the most beautiful in the world.

On August 3, Louis settled down.

He was at the Knicks' training facility, the old "Blue Palace" gym.

The Blue Palace Gymnasium was originally the training ground of nearby St. John's College. Later, the school was relocated and was abandoned.

The Knicks took over the site.

Although it has a long history, both the environment and facilities are better than those of the Greek Academy.

Louis didn't expect that he would fall in love so quickly.

Isn’t this a bit scumbag? Before you and your current girlfriend got along, you started to dislike your ex.

However, this is the actual situation and cannot be ignored, right?

Unlike the Greek Academy, the Blue Palace is even equipped with air conditioning on the court. In the summer, this can save many people's lives.

Louis wants his office to have air conditioning too.

The result was as he hoped, and David Turner, the facility manager of the venue, introduced him to every detail of the Blue Palace.

He is an old man of the Knicks. He has worked for the team for 20 years. He can be said to be a fossil-level figure. From the rise to the decline of the team, he is a witness to everything.

"Coach Lu, this is your office." Turner said, "Hubby Brown also worked here before. If this causes you discomfort, you can apply to replace all office tools."

"Compared to this, I want a vending machine with employees who regularly replenish goods." This was one of Louis' dreams, because Auerbach refused to reimburse him, and there were free vending machines in his office every day.

He drank Coke, so he didn't spend his own money to buy it.

Turner smiled and said: "Of course, do you have anything else you need?"

"Is anything okay?"

"As long as it's legal."

“It would be great if I could hire a full-time masseur.”

"Sorry, Coach Lu, this involves staffing issues, I don't have the authority." Turner said with a smile, "I absolutely support you, there are many people in this damn place who need to relax."

Louis said in disbelief: "You call this a ghost place?"

"Alas, Coach Lu, you are too serious. Any place where you work for a long time will make you feel irritated. No matter how good its external conditions are, in my opinion, it is a 'ghost place.'" Turner said smartly.

, "Otherwise, why would you come to New York from Boston? It would be like replacing Michael Corleone's role in "The Godfather" with Robert De Niro."

When he talked about this, Louis wanted to compete. "The Godfather" was one of the rare old classic movies that he resisted being sleepy and watched it. At first, he just wanted to expand his movie-watching experience, but later he really fell in love with it.

movie.

So he said with reason: "Robert is also an excellent actor. Otherwise, Coppola would not have left him a role in the movie."

"But you have to admit that Al Pacino and Marlon Brando are what made this movie 'immortal' in film history."

"I admit."

"So, you see, you gave up the opportunity to achieve 'immortality' and came to New York. I thought about it for many days but couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until just now that you questioned me calling the Blue Palace a ghost place that I suddenly realized it."

Turner gave Louis a sympathetic look, "We're all the same, tired of staying in the same place until we get rusty."

A strange thing appears!

"No, we are different."

Louis must give a negative answer. Didn't he leave Boston because he was tired of the old and terrible training ground at Greek Academy, the hellish stadium atmosphere in Boston Garden, and the layout of the locker room comparable to a slum. Wouldn't it kill him to add an electric fan?

?

These are by no means the main reasons why Louis left there, they are at most the second most important reasons.

"What's the difference?"

"If you are the same as me, you shouldn't just complain that this is a hellish place, you should work somewhere else. That way, we can achieve 'unanimity' in our will and actions. But you didn't, you just complained,

So you and I are different."

Louis smiled and sat on his office chair. He found that the chair was very uncomfortable and a little shaky. Who knows what kind of dirty things that idiot Brown had done on this chair and table?

"Moreover, I gave up on continuing to lead a championship team in Boston and came here not because I was tired of everything there."

Louis thought it would be better not to continue sitting in this chair.

"It's because I want to rely on my own abilities to achieve immortal achievements."

Hearing this, Turner took a second to digest, another second to confirm that he was living in reality, and then a second to hold back his laughter.

Half a second later, his saliva spurted out with an uncontrollable "pop" from his lips.

"Little Lu, I admire you so much! It's just like the media said, you are really our Messiah!"

Turner bowed to Louis in a sinister manner: "I hope you can achieve your goal before I get rusty all over."

"In that case, why don't you do something for me first? I will definitely spend more than ten seconds thanking you in my immortal Hall of Fame speech in the future." Louis said with a smile, "Put my office chair and desk

, and everything Coach Brown used has been replaced with new ones, thank you."

Turner asked strangely: "Didn't you have no questions just now?"

Louis subconsciously touched his butt, "I have a problem now."

"Okay, of course!"

"By the way, show me the roster of Coach Brown's coaching staff."

"OK."

After a while, Turner sent someone to send the roster.

Brown is a man who enjoys success and enjoys himself. Louis wants to see if there are any acquaintances on this list.

As a result, he actually saw one.

Assistant Coach: Rick Pitino.

Regarding this man, Louis was thinking of his failures during his years in Boston.

What Louis didn't know was that Pitino came to Boston as a savior, serving as the team's president, general manager, and head coach, with the ambition of becoming Auerbach's second.

As a result, he discovered that the difference between professional basketball and college basketball is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Louis put down the roster and left a message to Tomjanovich, who was still packing his luggage in Boston: "Everything is fine in New York. To tell you the truth, I have fallen in love with it."
