The Rest, Only Noise
Chapter 1042: Orlando's Cries for Help
The latest website: You are only 33 years old, how can you sleep?
Louis was not stimulated to full blood by Auerbach's words, but deeply felt that there is really no empathy in the world.
From Auerbach's point of view, it's normal for him to say that.
In 1950, Auerbach, 31, began coaching the Celtics. In those days, the coach of the nba team meant everything. This all includes scouting plans, travel plans, logistics, negotiations, trades, drafts, training... There is no assistant, no assistant, everything depends on one person, so that Auerbach needs to find a reliable team in the team. The players help him with the simple tasks, like booking away hotels and stuff, and that's it, people often screw up 1.
Auerbach persisted in this way for 16 years. After winning the eighth consecutive championship in 1966, he issued a sigh of "I can't hold on any longer, I will die if I do so" and announced that he would pass the pointer to Bill Russell. By the way, it opened the precedent for blacks to coach in North American sports leagues.
But in 1966, Auerbach was 47 years old, and his energy must have declined, and Louis is only 33 years old now, and he does not need to do everything.
He's too young to believe he's been in professional basketball for 15 years.
"I'm not saying I don't want to coach anymore, I mean...I need a break," Louie complained. I'm going to keep going for it to continue, and to be honest, I'm running out of motivation."
Auerbach snorted on the phone: "If you're trying to find someone to scold you to wake you up, sorry, I won't do that."
"If you want to rest, rest without asking anyone else."
Louis smiled and said, "I don't want to either, but you are the only one in the league who retreated bravely at your peak. Who else can give me advice other than you."
"Listen, my opinion is that you stupid slacker, don't be arrogant, what are you doing!"
Louis found that the quality of the old man was getting lower and lower, and he couldn't communicate with him at all.
In the end, Louis could only make a hasty conclusion, hung up the phone, and glanced at the timetable on the calendar.
The biggest advantage of finishing the tie-break at home is that you can disband and take a vacation no matter whether you win or lose.
But the players are on vacation, the management is not.
They also have to start preparing for the upcoming draft.
Scouting reports are stacked on the table in Louie's small room dedicated to his home office.
Thanks to the King, the Knicks have the ninth overall pick in the first round this year.
It's unconventional in itself for a team that wins championships every year to have lottery picks every year.
The ninth pick is neither high nor low.
If you are lucky, you can draw McGrady, Nowitzki, and Stoudemire. If you are unlucky, you may only be able to draw Kevin Knox. Except that he looks a bit like the American version of Zhu Fangyu (looks), other places are all good. People don't know what to say about good cattle and horses.
But no wonder the management, because this position is really embarrassing, there is no top talent, and it is not reconciled to get a guaranteed bottom line. Can you bet on those with high talent and high risk?
Louie doesn't seem to have this problem.
Times were getting closer to what he knew, but when he opened the draft report to find the right candidates, he found that even in 1993, there would still be many confusing names on the draft.
Players who can definitely play, they can't draft.
Looking at it slowly, Louis still has something to gain.
Alan Houston of the University of Tennessee, Louie remembers being part of the Dream Team practice team last year.
Before Louie crossed over, Houston was also a famous mid-caster in NBA history.
Considering Danny Ainge may retire at the end of the season, does it seem like a good idea to have a backup at the 2?
But it's not that simple.
Picking Houston is easy, but keeping him alive on the Knicks is a tough one.
The starter was firmly occupied by Miller.
In addition to Miller, there are Reggie Williams, Stevens, Doug Christie and others.
However, Williams can play both the 2 and 3 positions, and Christie can play multiple positions. After Stevens's three-point shooting rate stabilized at 40%, Louie began to put him at the 2 position. The shooter was also dominated by the rotation of the 3rd position before.
Looking at it this way, the Knicks really lack a pure No. 2 backup.
Houston is expected to draft around 7-12, and the Knicks have a chance to take him.
Louie first drew up plans to draft Houston, and then looked for Houston's backup -- the second option if Houston was intercepted.
In addition to the ninth pick, Louis also plans to send Wang Mukong away.
It's not that Wang Mukong is bad, but the introversion environment of the Knicks is not good for him.
Even an All-Star-level seed like Houston has to be prepared to play as a substitute for a few years. How could Wang Mukong have a bright future?
Then there's Louie's determination to send John Selly away.
Although Selly's speech at game 6 and his performance at game 7 were touching, they were two different things.
Perhaps many of the players have forgiven him, but not Luigi.
Salley's performance in Game 7 was key, and without him, perhaps the Knicks' murderous press wouldn't have had the most effect.
He fought to the end, paying the price of a dislocated arm and a severe contusion of his fingers, laying the foundation for the Knicks' big comeback.
Louis couldn't forgive Sally, he just couldn't.
Salley has to go, so the Knicks also need to find an inside bench suitable for pressing.
But this year's draft doesn't have so many good players, and it's not easy to find someone to fill the gap in Selly.
Just when Louis was troubled by this, the door of the hut was knocked three times at an extremely fast pace.
"My little sweet, what's the matter?"
The whole family went up and down, and only Louis' daughter would knock on the door in this way.
Lu Wuyan's personality is not like Louis or Lorraine, but very much like her grandmother, impatient and impatient.
"Daddy, someone named Feiwu is calling you."
waste? what waste?
"It seems to be called flying..."
"Are you calling the office line?"
"Yes."
Louis can only go to see who this "trash" is.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Coach Lu, it's me, Phil."
A deep, deliberate voice like Ollie who had accumulated in his body for several days, let Louis immediately identify the identity of the other party.
"It's you, Phil, how are you doing in Orlando?"
"Great, Coach Lu, I've always wanted to thank you for giving me such a good opportunity..." Phil Jackson politely said, "To be honest, Coach Lu, I have something I want to ask you today. "
The old friend called, and Louis's heart was loosened a lot.
"No need to ask," said Louis. "Phil, as long as I know, you can ask."
Jackson didn't expect Louis to be so nostalgic, he really is a loyal person!
Although Jackson has always scoffed at the rumor that Louie is a loyal man—after all, he also worked under Louie back then, and watched him lie on his desk with contempt and make phone calls—it’s a disgusting career to regard him as a loyal man. It's too long and I want to end it early.
But now, he has changed his mind.
Louis is hard to say about others, but he is extremely caring for these old subordinates.
"Does Chris Webber get along with Shaq?"
Jackson asked in shock.
The Magic are lucky.
That butterfly named Louie changed the NBA, and many teams were influenced by him and embarked on a very different future.
The Magic, on the other hand, were the No. 1 overall pick for the second year in a row, and have the priority of Chris Webber and other players in this year's draft.
From the Knicks' standpoint, the Magic's two consecutive No. 1 picks are worthy of vigilance.
But Louie was willing to give Jackson advice.
Not because Jackson ever worked under him, but because Jackson was his man.
Jackson's failures in Chicago nearly ruined his coaching career.
Unable to find a way out, he wanted to go back to New York to grind again, but Louie was afraid that he would be restless, and it happened that the Magic was recruiting a head coach at the time, and it happened that John Nash, the general manager of the Magic, was his friend. The opportunity to recommend Jackson in the past.
Jackson never imagined that a scumbag like him, whose coaching resume was full of failures, would get a second chance.
He believed that Louie's energy played a huge role.
Therefore, after coming to Orlando, Jackson spontaneously classified himself as the "Louis", and he had to follow Louis in everything he did, and recalled his good times in New York every now and then in front of the media.
So Phil Jackson, like Jeff Van Gundy and Billy Donovan, became the coach of the Louis department.
"Why don't you tell me what you think of Chris first?"
Louie said he didn't know Webb, and Jackson certainly didn't believe it.
But if you want to start from the grand perspective of team building, and then focus on whether Webber and O'Neal are suitable as partners, then Louie doesn't understand Webber.
Even if he is a transmigrator.
Even after crossing, Louis's understanding of him came from Zhao Yuanzheng and the scouting department.
About every other week, Buford or Zhao Yuanzheng would sigh in front of him that "Chris Webber is a once-in-a-decade genius".
Louis' attitude is always, you say it is.
Because even if Webber is a once-in-a-century genius, if the Knicks can't get it, then he'd rather have a nasty **** to let this genius die.
