the rest, only noise

Chapter 1191
Jerry Buss never lacked for women.

This may be the reason why he has such a good relationship with the tragedy teacher, and their attitudes towards women are surprisingly consistent.

Here, Louis also met Johnny Bass, the eldest son of Bass Sr.

Born in 1956, Johnny is currently the Vice President of Strategy for the Lakers Operations Department.

Louis has never met him, because he has been in charge of other industries under the old Bass for a long time, and he is only a temporary post with the Lakers.

It was said that the difference between Johnny and his father was so great that people doubted whether they were their own.

Today, he happened to come to the Playboy Mansion to report on his work.

Old Bath introduced him to Louis, "John, this is our president."

"Coach, this is my son, Johnny."

Louie and Johnny greeted each other politely, and old Buzz waved his hand, wanting them to pick a random companion.

"Dad, I came to see you on business."

And what Louis wants to know is: "Dr. Bath, what do you want from me?"

"Look at my brain." Old Bass patted his forehead, reluctantly dismissed the flesh and blood that accompanied him, and said to Louis, "Coach, I came here today mainly to recommend you a one-in-a-million genius."

Louie asked playfully, "I guess he's from Philadelphia and still in high school?"

"That's right, his name is Kobe, and he's Joe Bryant's son!" Old Bass poured a glass of red wine for Louis. "Although I haven't watched his entire game, he shocked me in just ten minutes. Amazing talent! Amazing! I love him to death!"

Louis said lightly: "Jerry, we agreed that you will not interfere with the team's operations."

"I'm not interfering with you, coach, I'm just recommending a player to you. I implore you to inspect him, or at least invite him to our trial training." Old Buss said.

Louis' tone changed, with the intention of asking guilt: "Who introduced Kobe to you?"

"Er...I can't say."

"Jim?"

Louie sneered, "Or another Jerry?"

"Sau Rui, I will not betray my friends, coach."

Louis got up and smiled, "Your answer has already told me the answer."

Johnny laughed, "Dad, would you call Jim a friend?"

Hearing this, Old Buss patted his forehead angrily, "My fault! Coach, don't embarrass Jerry, he is also wholeheartedly for the good of the team."

"That's two different things!" Louie snorted.

Johnny joked: "If it was recommended by Jim, then this matter is not worthy of attention. In fact, Dad never thought of hiding it from you, Mr. President."

The vice president of strategy, who had not been involved in the decision-making for a long time, did not know about Buss Jr.'s business trip.

"I will invite Kobe to try out, but not because I appreciate him, but because you like him." Louie said to the old Buss, "Jerry, I will put the ugly words up front. If I am not satisfied with the results of his tryout, or if he does not perform well during the tryout, I will not give him a second chance."

Old Buss got what he wanted, and smiled happily: "I will be satisfied if you give him a chance."

"Coach Lu, it's so boring to sit around. You can choose any woman here. Don't worry, Monica will never know."

"I'm not interested in women here, is there a restaurant nearby?"

"What restaurant are you going to, John? Take the president to 'Mickey Mouse Wonderful House' for dinner."

Who would call a restaurant Mickey Mouse Clubhouse?

Louie suspects that there is something unclean in that place, but follows Johnny anyway.

The result made him "disappointed", "Mickey Mouse Wonderful House" is a very formal restaurant, and can satisfy most people's tastes.

"This is my dad's favorite place to come," said Johnny critically. "Although you can get food from a dozen countries here, they have very poor taste in wine, I mean, not even a heart-warming cognac, which ruins the chef's efforts."

That's Johnny Bass' first impression of Louie—a fastidious alcoholic.

Afterwards, Johnny didn't stay long at Mickey Mouse Clubhouse because there wasn't the drink he wanted, so he left Louie alone and left.

After eating and drinking, Louis left the Playboy Mansion without saying hello to old Bass.

The next day, Louis drove to the forum in good spirits.

It ended up being stuck in a traffic jam for two and a half hours.

His mood was low and grumpy, the traffic be damned, that was the thing he hated about LA.

Every time I left the area where Beverly Hills is located, I fell into a situation where traffic was difficult.

It's not prime time, if he wants to arrive at the forum before 8 o'clock, then he needs to arrive at least an hour and a half earlier to arrive on time.

If it's prime time, good luck to you.

The notorious Route 405 has been stuck in traffic for 48 hours, an average of two hours a day for every Angeleno who drives.

Living in Los Angeles is a terrible waste of life.

In just two and a half hours stuck in traffic, Louie came up with 20 reasons why he hated Los Angeles.

He hates LA, he hates all the angels, he hates sunny cities, he hates Mexican food, he hates the low quality Latinos on the streets, he hates the use of the word "dude" by Angelenos, he hates Chinatown in LA, he hates the queues for everything in LA.
Any Angeleno who can get to company within 45 minutes is considered lucky.

Traffic jams are just a daily routine in this city. Louis needs to get used to it, but he prefers to skip the process of getting used to it.

Why. Why don't I buy a private jet?

Some people will say, don't forget Kobe's death, but that's just an accident with multiple factors, isn't it?

It's like there are countless car accidents every day. Don't you stop driving because of this?
This is bullshit, like those trying to persuade Kobe to give up buying a private jet in the future.

Try it instead for a few hours a day.

Louie walked sullenly to the Forum parking lot, just in time to meet Mitch Kupchak.

The other party wanted to say hello, but Louis had a murderous look on his face: "Tell Jerry to meet me at the Forum Club."

The Forum Club is the iconic place of the Forum, the favorite of celebrities, the hunting ground of flesh and blood, where the tragedies have left countless legendary stories.

When there is nothing to do, Old Bath will pass the time here.

Louis asked West to come over, just to kill the majesty of the LOGO man in front of Old Bath.

He had accumulated enough anger points on the road, and now he only needs one outlet to vent.

After West appeared, he first said hello to old Bass, and then greeted Louis: "Louis, you don't look very well."

"As the president of the operations department, I don't even know the actions of my subordinates. Do you think I look good?" Louis asked in a deep voice, "Jerry, do you think that if you ask Dr. Buss to come out for you, I will let Kobe come to the forum for trial training?"

West's doubts lasted only a few seconds.

This is something he made an appointment with Bass Jr., since it is an act, he must do everything.

"I'm just." West looked at Old Buzz, hoping that he could save him from suffering, "Jerry, what do you think?"

Old Bath's performance vividly interpreted what it means to "Break! Withdraw! Sell! Slip!", "I still have something to do, Jerry, call me anytime if you have any questions."

Don't I have a fucking problem now?

West's lips quivered.

"Of course, except for the next five hours, I will accompany an elegant lady to listen to the opera." Old Bath finished, feeling unsafe, "Well, I have to have a late-night snack. I am very tired today, and I may go to bed directly. So I suggest that you best call me after four o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh no, I have an appointment for squash tomorrow afternoon. Well, I'll call you the day after tomorrow if I'm free. Goodbye, Jerry."

Jerry West took the blame for the boss's son, and then was ruthlessly betrayed by the boss. Now he can only be at the mercy of the male teacher who is in charge of unpacking like a rookie filming his debut.

"I have nothing to say, Louis, I apologize to you and accept all administrative penalties." Wester paused, "You can fire me if you want."

"I think you already know how much I hate the idea of ​​adding a No. 2 high school player to the Lakers."

As soon as Louis finished speaking, West nodded.

"I know, but Kobe is the player that can't be missed."

"Damn it!" Louis said angrily, "You think I don't know how special Kobe is? You only consider how good he is, but you don't think about how arrogant his character is. Can he get along with Jasmine? Can he accept Benj's guidance? Can he play 'Shooting Star'? You don't know anything. Trial training, I hope you remember, this is the first and last time!"

In this way, West was speechless by Louis.

At that moment, the image of Louis was no longer just Louis.

The image of Louie overlaps with West's father.

It's just as violent.

West was speechless, and within half an hour, everyone in the Forum office building knew that Louis had scolded West to the bottom.
