Chapter 99 Who Doesn't Love Fools (Subtitle: The Secret History of Bath)

"Jim, you and your sister don't seem to be getting along."

Louie is mostly satisfied with his new office.

Compared with the office in the Blue Palace, the office in the forum is more luxurious, with a large-screen TV, all kinds of vending machines and all the equipment you can think of.

"Sir, Master is easy to be envied by others, you should understand me."

There is a natural narcissism in little Bath.

He calls Louie "Sir," which is a respectful title, but he talks flippantly, like the disgusting coffee shop owner in the first episode of Detective Tang.

"Jenny is jealous of you?" Louis seemed to have heard some funny joke, "What is she jealous of you?"

Little Buss didn't talk about talent or other nonsense, and said matter-of-factly: "Daddy loves me more."

"That's true."

Bass Jr. was the director of the sales department. The last administrative order his father made before giving up the position of president to Louis was to transfer his precious son to the president's office as an assistant.

In other words, he is now an employee of Louis.

After that, Zhao Yuanzheng walked into the office with Dale Ellis' information.

"How did it go?" Louis asked.

Zhao Yuanzheng said: "It's good. It's true that Dell and Charlotte's teammates are estranged, but he hasn't had any trouble off the court. Most of the bad records are left in New York."

"What about the small part?"

Buzz Jr. tries to appear smart with Louie.

"It's not worth mentioning." Zhao Yuanzheng showed that part of the bad record to Louis.

After reading it, Louis gave it to Bass.

"Driving over the speed limit? What is this?" Little Buss seemed to see himself, "It's a waste of a boy if you don't drive fast!"

Louis joked: "When you drive the car to the tombstone, you will always be a teenager."

"Also, drinking is nothing. What's wrong with drinking a little, and it doesn't affect others. Besides, he is also complaining about his teammates when he is drunk. If I were him, I would complain too."

Bath Jr. suddenly became a supporter of Dale Ellis.

Louis really didn't think that the son who regarded Ellis as a general could really understand this matter.

He looked at the current head coach of the Lakers.

"What do you think?"

"It's not a big problem." Zhao Yuanzheng said, "Dell is a maverick who only obeys the real leader. Charlotte doesn't have such a person, but in Los Angeles, we have Benj and Messiah."

Little Buss said with a smile: "Now I know why the President brought you from New York to Los Angeles."

Zhao Yuanzheng looked at the son-in-law who thought he knew something amusedly.

"There's more you need to know."

Louis and Zhao Yuanzheng watched Ellis' game video last season through video in the office to evaluate his current competitive state.

They concluded that Ellis is still the league's top shooter.

Maybe Reggie Miller has become the league's first shooter, but there is no grade gap between Ellis and him.

Since coming to Charlotte in 1988, Ellis has maintained an average output of 20+ per game every season.

The 1988-89 season was the peak of Ellis. With an output of 26 points per game, he scored 4 three-pointers per game and brought the extremely bad Hornets to ninth in the East.

After that, with the addition of new stars such as Glenn Rice and Larry Johnson, Ellis' status in the team has been lowered again and again, but he can still guarantee an average output of 20 points per game.

He has a weird temper, is not friendly to rookies, has an unbearable ego, and everyone is afraid of him, but he is still an indispensable player for the Hornets.

Like Jeff Hornacek with the Lakers.

At the critical moment, fans are more willing to believe in Ellis than Big Mom and Rice.

Why?Because he was the one who ended the Celtics dynasty in 1988.

Afterwards, Louie also invited West to the office to watch Ellis' game video together.

West's conclusion: "Dell really didn't have a good relationship with his teammates."

"You still disagree?" Louie asked.

West shook his head, but not in a negative way.

"He reminded me of Rick Barry, a person who is not helpful to the team but is indispensable." West had to make a decision against his will. "I don't think Jeff (Hornacek) will ever be able to do what he did. If this is the only way to success, I agree."

Zhao Yuanzheng, who is used to working with Baylor, is really not used to West's absolutely rational but somewhat intuitive judgment.

You can say that he is rational, but he will not stick to what he believes to the end.

If you say he is emotional, he is in great pain about what he has already decided.

Such a person must be very tired to live, right?

"Then please contact Dell's agent."

Louis sent West a job.

West went straight to work.

After West left, Bass Jr. walked in from the outside and said, "Sir, let's go have a meal together, it's so boring to stay here all day."

So Louis called Zhao Yuanzheng and physical trainer Gary Vitti.

Vitti has played for the Lakers for more than ten years and knows a lot about the team.

Louie also learned the story of Jenny and Jim joining the Lakers through Vitti.

Jim belongs to Airborne, and Bass sees him as the heir apparent from the start.

And Jenny has always been regarded as a precious daughter by his father, just holding it in the palm of his hand, and does not intend to let her run the family business.It wasn't until Jenny graduated from college that she helped Old Buss run his tennis team to great success before she entered the management of the Lakers.

Old Buss liked to objectify women, treating them as men's accessories. At the same time, he created a precedent for professional sports to allow women to hold important positions in management. However, in terms of family inheritance, he still had patriarchal thoughts.

In terms of performance, Jim is not worthy of carrying shoes for his sister, but he entered the sales department immediately after he came, and was promoted to assistant to the president after Louis airborne.

"Damn, stop talking about my sister, she doesn't know half as much about basketball as I do about football."

Jim didn't want to hear a bunch of stories about how his sister was better than him.

"At least, Jenny is very attentive." Vitti advised, "Jim, "If you want to make achievements in professional basketball, you have to be more focused. "

"Come on, it's because you didn't see her true face."

In order to restore his reputation in front of others, this son dared to say anything.

He said that Jenny once had a boyfriend who liked to role-play, but his hobby was so special that he let Jenny play a cat.Then Jenny came into play, and one day the family servants spotted Jenny marking the family couch like a cat.

"Crap?"

Zhao Yuanzheng called out.

"I heard that she is still meowing on the ground." Jim has a special pleasure in shaking his sister's scandal in front of outsiders, "I feel like I'm getting allergic just by telling this story. Since then, I don't like cats anymore."

Louie cut the steak on his plate speechlessly, "For God's sake, can you stop talking about such things while we're eating?"

"Okay, Sir." Jim is a restless person who likes to talk nonsense all the time.

When everyone was about to have a peaceful meal, he began to say again: "I have a hot gossip here. Rich from the sales department heard it from Jeff from the foreign affairs department. Jeff's source of information came from the assistant Diana in the manager's office."

"Gossip about Jerry?"

"Yes."

Louis cleared his throat: "Well, I don't want to gossip, but I have to care about my colleagues around me."

Jim then said: "Jerry often falls into inexplicable emotional breakdowns, shh, don't tell anyone, I swear to keep it secret."

Well said, Louis hates these gossips the most, why can't they leave some private space for others?It makes people suspicious all day long.But then again, gossip is usually a necessity for the entire department, and without gossip, everyone is just a bunch of walking dead commuting every day.

The next day, the Lakers announced that they had reached a two-year contract with Dell Ellis.

The assassin who once made Boston's children cry at night is coming to Los Angeles to follow his coach.

The new season is coming, Louie and his new colleagues are still in the adjustment period, West is a reliable person, Kupchak is like a dog leg, Vitti and Hearn are very interesting, but the most interesting thing is the palace fight between Jenny and Jim.

Jenny is always against Jim, and Jim for the most part has no idea what his sister is against.

Louis used to be very opposed to having Jim as his assistant, but on the first day of work, Jim used his chattering attributes to dispel Louis' doubts.

He is a playboy, a conceited son-in-law, a bastard who has no respect for his sister, but he is also a fool who can't hide his thoughts and says what he has.

An assistant with a deep mind who can get things done, or an idiot who can screw up most things and behave like an imbecile?

Louis will always choose the latter. He doesn't need a capable assistant—unless it's a woman—because he is already capable. With a top-notch tool man like West, what else would he do with a capable assistant?You can't fish every day with the highest salary in the league executive interrupt level.

So, Jim Buss was the perfect fit in every sense of the word.
