The rest is just noise

Louis took three months off, and during this period, the team still had to pay his salary.

This is the reward he deserves. Even if Bill Fitch is so proud of himself now, he has to admit that without Louis, it would be difficult for the Celtics to win this championship.

Internally, Auerbach recognized Louis' contribution through a summary meeting.

So Louis proposed taking a break from the end of the championship celebration until the start of the preseason training camp, and Auerbach agreed.

Louis packed up and returned home to Cleveland.

Li Xuanbing cooked a table of delicious dishes for him.

After the grudge was eliminated, Louis became a good son again. Especially after Li Xuanbing got to know the NBA seriously, she found that Louis' achievements in the league far exceeded her imagination.

Although her impression of the League remained largely unchanged, the League was the League and Louis was Louis.

Louis stayed at home for several days and rarely went out.

He should take this time to replenish his foundation.

If he were asked to coach now, lead a team, and be the head coach, he would not be able to do a better job than Fitch because the things in his mind are not systematic.

This year's playoffs made him realize that the concepts from the future are also applicable in the 1980s, as long as the lineup is right.

In the fourth quarter of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, when the 76ers insisted on using their Spider-Man lineup to shrink, the three Musketeers lineup of Bird + Long + Ford effectively opened up the space in the position. This is the reason why they and the 76ers

Build a back-and-forth foundation.

Louis felt sorry for the 76ers. They played the most mainstream basketball of this era, with unparalleled wing talent. No other team could match the intensity and hardness of the game.

If the Celtics can't stretch their defense, they won't be able to keep up with their offensive and defensive intensity in the fourth quarter, and they will eventually be hanged.

Now that the Celtics have won the championship, it is foreseeable that Fitch will deliberately alienate him after expanding the team of assistant coaches. After all, Auerbach has begun to use him as a gun.

Therefore, their honeymoon period is basically over, and it will be difficult for Louis to speak in the game, because many assistant coaches who are more professional than him will join the team.

He began to seriously think about how to build the team's system and what kind of games his team should play in the future.

To this end, he bought a lot of game videos, some of which were from this year's playoffs. Like the Kings and Rockets, they both played slow-paced meat grinder games. If it weren't for the Lakers and the Suns who blew themselves up one after another, they probably wouldn't be able to reach this year's level.

high.

There are also some college competitions.

College coaches are more tactical because they have plenty of time to make runs.

In addition to career planning, Louis will also pay attention to investment opportunities.

Although he didn't know much about this industry before traveling through time, he knew who knew about this industry.

"The Tomato Rich Man" introduced him to Buffett.

Last year, Buffett spent 120 million to buy 10% of Coca-Cola's shares.

Fitness has become a popular leisure activity in the United States since the 1980s. Jane Fonda's fitness advertisements became all the rage.

The rise of fitness has promoted the popularity of healthy eating.

Many experts believe that Coke contains too much sugar and should be drunk as little as possible. This has damaged Coke's image. Therefore, the Coke company was in a recession during this period, and Buffett's investment last year was not favored by others.

To this end, Louis did some research.

When Buffett invested, each Coca-Cola stock sold for $10. Not only did it not grow at this time, it also dropped a bit, and it was already less than $10.

It took Louis half a month and $80,000 to buy almost 8,100 current stocks.

In July, Wu Sansheng came to Cleveland to meet with him.

Louis treated him to authentic Chinese food, but he was still mean. Now he is preparing for his graduation thesis. After graduation, he does not want to stay in the United States.

"Why? Haven't you always wanted to make achievements here?" Louis asked.

"It was like that at first, but later, I felt that it was different from what I thought." Wu Sansheng said of discrimination.

Moreover, it is discrimination without any concept of right and wrong. He is often regarded as Japanese in Ohio, and then they either insult him with discriminatory terms or make fun of him.

Louis felt the irony in the context of the times.

In the 1980s, the Chinese were ostracized, insulted, and invaded as Japanese because Japanese automobile companies and advanced semiconductor industries impacted the United States, causing industrial cities like Detroit to decline. The United States naturally could not tolerate this, and Louis felt familiar with the next scene.

The United States began to sanction Japan on the grounds of national security, because if developed industries such as semiconductors are in the hands of other countries, there is a possibility of cutting off supplies to the United States during a war.

Due to national security and economic sanctions, all East Asians in the United States are regarded as Japanese.

It looks familiar, so familiar.

Louis understood what Wu Sansheng was doing. Racial discrimination is a deep-rooted problem in the United States. It’s just that Asians are relatively “docile” and in most cases they swallow their anger when they are bullied. Therefore, there are very few news about Asians being discriminated against. But discrimination has already happened.

It has developed into all aspects of life, from job hunting to the image presented in movies and TV dramas, plus the information that other races have learned through wrong channels to create stereotypes about Asians - these problems are what everyone in the United States is struggling with.

Asians/Asians know this well. They can endure it, but at present, the economic war between the United States and Japan, although the Yamato nation kneels very simply, and the United States is destined to win a complete victory in this bloodless war, but the White House

The group of people inside can't control the people under their control.

It's okay to be discriminated against. Now the discrimination hidden in the heart, or the discriminatory behavior revealed inadvertently, is transformed into aggressive discrimination. This will certainly make people like Wu Sansheng uneasy.

Louis was in an environment where he didn't often have the opportunity to meet those people, and he was considered a celebrity given his size. With a height of 1.9 meters and a strong build, not many white-skinned pigs and niggas dared to provoke him.

Louis could not solve any problems for Wu Sansheng, so he could only drink some wine and talk.

Three days later, Wu Sansheng returned to Ohio. Before Louis could figure out what to do next, the team from his hometown actually extended an invitation to him.

A handsome but arrogant white man represented Cavaliers owner Ted Stepey and invited Louis to join the Cavaliers.

They gave Louie a contract as a top scout with an annual salary of $50,000.

Louis' combined salary for holding three jobs with the Celtics was less than half that.

"Mr. Steppi is eager for talents. Since you are a native of Cleveland, why don't you want to contribute to your hometown?"

Louis looked at the contract hesitantly, thinking about how to refuse decently, but the other party actually urged him impatiently.

Louis suppressed the contract and said with a smile: "Of course I have heard of Mr. Steppi's desire for talents, whether it is five years and five million to Otis Birdsong, or to Scott

·Weidman’s five-year, four-million-dollar offer, or the fact that in order to pursue some garbage, the substitute players gave away first-round draft picks for the next four years, they all showed me Mr. Steppi’s desire for talents. To be honest, I was very scared.

, considering the people he had taken a liking to before, when he first saw me now, it would make people think that I was as 'excellent' as the people he had taken a liking to before. This made me tremble from the bottom of my heart, and I had to reject this.

This contract, such a good contract, should belong to someone as smart as you."

Although what Louis said before seemed very similar, the following sentences revealed his true purpose.

The other party put away the contract and said angrily: "You will regret it, Oriental!"

"If I regret having $50,000 with stinky shit on it, then I'm a failure, take your stinky shit and get out of my house."

Then he quit, and Louis felt bad.

$50,000 was tempting, but he was past the point of considering salary.

With this contract, he is forced to leave Boston and jump into the fire pit? Why should he double the money?

If Stepi spends 100,000 to poach him, Louis will seriously consider it, but there is a high probability that he will refuse. It’s not that he doesn’t want to repay his hometown team, it’s just that this team is too messy to support the wall.

Just look at what they're doing this summer.

Paying 5 million in 5 years to poach Birdsong, this man is indeed an important player for the Kings. But as the Kings went all the way to the Western Conference Finals, he was out for the season. What is the concept of 5 million in 5 years? Better than Bird.

The annual salary is 350,000 more, which is the same as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

What can you do wrong with this money!!!

And that 5 million for Weidman in 4 years.

That's the equivalent of giving standout Ryan Anderson a $15 million contract in 2000.

After these two signings happened, "Sports Illustrated" immediately joined in the fun. They used a simple and crude title that made the Cavaliers famous in league history: "WTF????????????"

.

A more elegant translation would be "Damn, what the hell is this?"

If Louis were asked to translate, he would be more direct: "Silly????????????"

Before the time travel, Louis had no feelings for Cleveland and only knew that it was James' hometown. After time travel, Louis, affected by his true identity, naturally had many thoughts about this second hometown.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to interview scouts in the first place.

Judging from the current results, Louis can only spit and thank that rotten Jiba for his life-saving help. If he starts in this kind of team, his NBA coaching career/management career may be over before it even begins.
