The Rest, Only Noise

"The rest, only noise new( Find the latest chapter!

The Celtics don't have enough compelling reasons to explain their failure, because they really shouldn't have lost to the Bucks.

In the first and second games, the way they lost made people desperate for this team.

Bird, who was reluctant to let the team be swept away, went all out on the road. He scored 30 points and 14 rebounds. However, other teammates were basically walking on the court, and no one could rewrite the result of the game.

Later, M.L. Carr admitted that they were trying to get Fitch out of the way.

It's just that Bird's desire to win was bitter. He was furious in the locker room, berating his teammates' performance, especially the sentence "You sissies should be traded" was the most intense.

By contrast, Bill Fitch was disheartened.

His relationship with the players has broken down, and even Bird has no common language with him.

Auerbach doesn't like him, the players hate him, the fans boo him, and even his former partner, Louis, is no longer willing to provide him with help and support. He is left with only himself and four professional but incompetent players in the Celtics. teaching assistant.

The role of the coach dictates that unless you're a player-coach, even if you're the best coach in the world, you're not going to be able to lead a team that's eccentric and play well if someone doesn't want to play for you.

Fitch knew his path with the Celtics was dead.

In four years, he helped the team to the league's first record for three consecutive years and a championship. He has nothing to regret.

After the Game 3 loss, Fitch called Auerbach, where he resigned, citing health reasons.

Auerbach hypocritically deflected a few times, saying that the team still needed Fitch to lead them through the final road.

"Go on, it's torture for me and them." Fitch cleared the door now, "This team is very talented, and even if there is no coach, let the players decide the course of the game, the result will not be the same. It will be worse than it is now."

In the end, Auerbach expressed his gratitude to Fitch on behalf of the team.

Although they had a lot of unhappiness, Fitch brought a team back to shore, and he transformed the team as much as he did in Cleveland.

Fitch is a coach with obvious strengths and weaknesses.

Now, Auerbach must consider who will take Fitch's shift.

The current appeal of the Celtics is no longer to win the championship, but how to get out of the game decently, even if they win a game, it is better than being swept.

Auerbach lit the cigar, and he knew very well that the best successor was Louis, who knew the contradictions of the team and the characteristics of the players well.

But Louie has a problem with Louie.

He is too young, only 23 years old, and has no previous coaching experience.

The youngest head coach in NBA history is current Knicks general manager and franchise legend Dave Debusschere, who was still playing in Detroit at the age of 24. At that time, the team's financial situation was very bad, and they couldn't afford a good coach, so he was the player-coach.

That team's record is also worthy of their decision to hire Debusschere as coach.

Moreover, for the media, the head coach suddenly dismissed the get out of class, and the ideal successor should be the chief assistant coach K.C. Jones.

K.C has a very high reputation in the team. At the same time, he has also taught in other teams and achieved good results. It is the most suitable for him to inherit Fitch's work.

Auerbach put down his cigar and decided to give K.C a call.

"Hey."

He got on the phone.

"it's me."

"Reed?"

"I'll just cut to the chase," Auerbach said. "Bill resigned."

K.C asked: "Is that the Bill I thought of?"

"Apart from him, who else needs to call me to call Bill's resignation?" Auerbach said directly, "The morale of the team is very bad now, I want you to take this responsibility, no other requirements, at least to win the Bucks one."

On the other end of the phone, K.C fell into a long silence.

"Are you dead bastard?" Auerbach said impatiently, "Speak!"

K.C said glumly: "Don't bother me, I'm fighting a fierce battle with my own desires."

"Damn, when did you become so grumpy, hurry up!" Auerbach knew what K.C was thinking, and he was glad that K.C had this idea.

If he directly agrees and accepts the coaching job, Auerbach can only follow his wishes, in accordance with Celtic tradition, and let his family fight the fire.

Although Louis came from Boston, K.C is the authentic Celtic.

"I know how good the team is on paper, and no coach can refuse to coach them, but..."

"Hurry up!" Auerbach was anxious.

K.C said in frustration: "I'm not sure if I can handle the intricacies of the team, Reed, if the Bills can't handle it, can I handle it? I couldn't balance Wes and Big E when I was in Washington. , I didn't do my job well and let a championship contender that was far stronger than the opponent lose the final disgracefully." ⑴

Auerbach listened.

"And the team's current problems are more serious than that team. I can only mediate their conflicts and resolve their quarrels, because I am an assistant coach and I have no interest in any of them. Once I become the head coach , they want something from me, and if I can't give it to them, they won't listen to me anymore."

"I have to admit that I have no confidence in coaching this team."

"What are you counseling?" Auerbach can understand K.C's mentality, on the surface he is still pretending, "Now the situation is urgent, Bill has resigned, he will not return to his post, understand? You are the team The hero here, you are an old man, you must stand up and bring the team out of the quagmire."

"I can't do it," K.C said incredulously.

"You dropped the chain for me at a **** critical moment?"

"I'm raising soldiers for a thousand days, but you can help me, K.C. If you don't do it, where will I find a useful bastard?"

K.C suddenly said, "I have a choice..."

"Which bastard!?" Auerbach seemed to be angry, and no matter who he was, he would use his catchphrase.

"Road..." K.C said, "Louis."

"Too young?"

"Do you still despise him because of his age, Reed?"

"Can he convince the crowd?"

"Yes, in the 1981 Eastern Conference finals, didn't we just rely on his strategy to turn losses into victory? Many veteran players recognized his ability."

Auerbach could not have imagined that K.C would turn his army against him.

He hadn't even mentioned it yet, but K.C actually took the initiative to mention it.

"Will you be too wronged?" Auerbach still looked worried for him, "You are the old man in the team, I dare say, no one is more suitable to be the head coach of this team than you, you There are countless championships, and a stellar coaching resume, but now you have to be an assistant coach for someone who has no qualifications in the professional basketball circle, can you really accept it?"

"Reed, we are the Celtics."

K.C proudly said: "We don't look at age, we only recognize talents; we don't look at resumes, we only care about results; I'm sure that no one is better suited to command this team than Louis, because there are many people in this team who he has been from. Unearthed in college, he knows their strengths and weaknesses better than the rest of the coaching staff, and if Bierken had worked with him, he wouldn't be where he is today."

"If Luis was the manager, I would never have any objections."

K.C affirmed.

"That's it," Auerbach said with difficulty and satisfaction, "we treat dead horses as living horse doctors."

At the Marriott Hotel in Milwaukee, Louie was eating fried noodles that had just been delivered.

Ralph Sampson is a Chinese food insulator, he doesn't like greasy Chinese food.

Louie was very satisfied, he ate fried noodles with seasoning, cheap and delicious, and authentic Chinese taste.

Thanks to Tongyuanhui, he has almost all the reliable Chinese restaurants in the away location. He has established a good relationship with the owners of these Chinese restaurants to ensure that he can eat authentic Chinese food when he is on the road.

"I just don't get it, what's the coach's benefit in messing up everyone's relationships?" Sampson complained of Fitch's tyrannical rule.

Louie believes that the way Sampson complained about Fitch was already relatively modest among players.

"If you're upset, eat a dumpling, and I guarantee you'll be cured immediately."

Sampson smells the scent, but still refuses Louie.

Even if Louis eats deliciously, just like the first part of "Infernal Affairs", Zeng Zhiwei is eating lunch at the police station.

Louis did not find that when he was eating, he was able to whet the appetites of others, which showed that he had the potential to be a foodie. Other people's appetite, eating and drinking is simply going against the grain.

Suddenly, the phone in Louie's room rang.

He went to answer the phone, and Sampson looked at the dumplings in the lunch box, as if Louie had enjoyed it before, and he couldn't help but feel evil thoughts.

"Oh, yes, I understand."

Sampson couldn't tell how his mood had changed from Louis's few short words~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He had already stretched out his hand and attacked the dumplings in the lunch box.

"Are you an Indian? Put your hand down!" Louis roared before hanging up.

Sampson said aggrieved: "I can't use chopsticks."

"I asked you to eat but you didn't eat it just now, but now you've changed your mind? It's too late!" Louis said arrogantly.

"What a cheapskate," Sampson said disappointedly.

"Who are you mean?" Louis changed his tone, "Also, call me the head coach!"

⑴1974-75, the first championship in the history of the Warriors, only 48 wins in the regular season, while the final opponent at that time, KC Jones' Bullets, had 60 wins.
