the rest, only noise

Chapter 127 Good food is not afraid of being late
In Reed Auerbach's office, he smoked a cigar and listened carefully to KC Jones' report.

He wasn't too surprised when he heard how Louis was preparing for the game.

Because when Louis was Fitch's assistant coach, he showed his excellence in coaching.

What surprised Auerbach was how Louis entered the locker room after the Celtics lost the season.

"Even Bill, after losing the season, is mainly to appease the players, but Louie stomped their faces under their feet." KC looked at Auerbach cautiously. "That's the most violent accusation I've ever seen."

Auerbach held his cigar and let the smoke fill him.

"Interesting." Auerbach asked with a smile, "What did that bastard say?"

"I can't remember what he said, because he said it for several minutes, and within a few minutes, he didn't give any affirmation to the players." KC said, "Many people were frustrated because of him, but no one dared to confront his anger."

"Do you dare not, or are you guilty?"

"Maybe it's both."

"Why do you think he did this?" Auerbach's face exuded a confident expression of insight into the situation.

KC is not sure: "Is he trying to accomplish something with this?"

"You're half right, he wants to warn the players." Auerbach said affirmatively, "This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen again."

"And this is his obvious purpose. What he really wants to do is to establish his own prestige. That is a moment that cannot be missed."

Auerbach saw through Louie's tricks. "He was probably not angry at all. No, I bet he was excited because he knew he had seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The players played negatively for their demands and caused them to lose the whole season. He knew he could use this method to humiliate and frustrate them. No matter how crude his words were, no one could contradict him."

"If he's going to establish his authority, this is the best moment."

"So." KC said in shock, "What happened in the locker room last night was just a performance he had planned for a long time?"

"That's right, you can't believe a word of what this little bastard said last night." Auerbach laughed.

The truth shocked KC. He thought he knew Louis because he met him by chance outside the Greek Academy, and by chance, he became the team's scout.

Although that incident was a bit strange, after several years, KC never doubted whether there was an artificial factor in his "fate" with Louie.

Last night, he really thought Louie was mad at Fitch and the players for trampling on professionalism.

Now Auerbach told him plainly: Don't be fooled by him, it's all a faux pas!

He felt that his world had suddenly fallen into chaos. When did he have to be a guest actor when he was a head coach?Is it so troublesome to establish prestige?
Once again, KC finds himself knowing Louie for five years but never really seeing him for who he is.

"It's the first time I feel." KC said helplessly, "this kid is scary."

Auerbach put out his cigar and said suddenly, "KC, this is an opportunity for you too."

"what chance?"

"The little ghost has established his prestige in extreme ways, but he has not yet established substantial achievements. Therefore, if you are willing to be our head coach at this time, he will be your greatest help. I believe that you will work together, and he will not complain, because we have legitimate reasons." Auerbach said sinisterly, "The players have a grudge against him."

After hearing this, KC was dumbfounded.

"How? This is also a good opportunity for you. According to me, you should be the head coach. The brat is too messy." Auerbach said it sincerely, as if he was worried about what would happen if Louis continued to be the head coach.

KC shook his head heavily and said, "No, no, I just need to be an assistant coach. As I said earlier, I can't handle the current situation in the team!"

"Don't be humble, KC, as I said, you are the most suitable candidate. If someone refuses to accept you, show them your ring. Tactically, the brat will help you."

"No, I really can't, Reed, please spare me, this job is too difficult!"

"Damn it!" Auerbach scolded, "you're fucking giving me back at this time?"

KC wouldn't even want to take the position at this time: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero, Reed, I know my weight."

"Okay! Remember your words!" Auerbach slapped the table and said, "Since you want to be an assistant coach, then you have to assist that brat well, use your energy among the players to balance their relationship, and never allow another accident like Fitch's, understand?"

KC said nonchalantly, "If that kid is as cunning as you said, how could he follow Fitch's old path?"

"That's hard to say. If you suddenly don't want to assist him after a while and sow discord among the players, he will be hard to guard against." Auerbach's words made KC jump on the spot.

"I swear in the name of my family!" KC said angrily, "I wouldn't do such a thing even if I bumped myself to death in front of you!"

Auerbach smiled with satisfaction: "It's too much to swear on your family, KC, I believe in you."

"Then I'll go first."

KC is very upset because Auerbach regards him as the second and fifth boy at both ends of the snake mouse, and now he can't wait to stick a cigar down the old guy's throat.

"Have a nice holiday, KC."

"I've been unhappy since the last second!"

"Then find a way to cheer me up, you bastard!"

Now KC knows who Louie learned from the dog bastard who opened his mouth and shut his mouth yesterday.

Seeing KC leave the office, Auerbach leaned on his chair and smoked a cigar comfortably.

He already knew that Louis was the most suitable candidate for the head coach, and the work content reported by KC made him more sure of this.

In any case, Louis could no longer be satisfied with being a teaching assistant.

Even if he wants to settle down, other teams will offer him an olive branch.

He's either coaching the Celtics or another team.

Therefore, Auerbach never thought of letting KC take over. He just continued Louie's performance last night. He had to confirm KC's intentions. Looking at it now, this guy is still sensible. He knows that he can't handle the intricate internal conflicts in the Celtics team.

Now there is only one problem left.

At this time, Louie was at home receiving faxes from other cities.

This is already the sixth.

It is equivalent to an offer from other teams.

In all, six teams wanted to offer him a new job.

There are four assistant coaching jobs and two head coaching jobs in New York, Kansas, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Denver and Philadelphia.

Among them, the contract offered by the New York Knicks is the most attractive.

It was a facsimile drawn up by Sonny Webling himself, and he gave Louie a four-year, $4 assistant coaching contract—and, in it, there was a clause that if the current Knicks head coach Hubie Brown fired, he would be the only head coach and could end the current contract and sign another head coaching contract.

Louis had a good personal relationship with Webling, so this was the first offer he responded to.

Louis is not a person who only cares about the present. The Knicks have a very good contract. In terms of salary, other teams will definitely not be able to afford it, but he only wants to stay in Boston now.

Because the Celtics are the perfect ladder.

Bill Fitch would never have won a title without coaching the Celtics.

And what Louis has to do is to lead this team to win the championship, win the title of a champion coach first, and then think about his future.

So, first the Knicks, then the other offers, he responded to each one, rejecting them sincerely and politely.

"What are you talking about with the fax machine, the Italian goblin wrote you a love letter again?"

Li Xuanbing was a little strange seeing Louis giggling.

"Your son, I just rejected a contract of 70 yuan, isn't it amazing?"

"You blow it!"

70 is an untouchable number for ordinary people like Li Xuanbing.

Louis said jokingly that he had rejected 70 yuan, and her first reaction was naturally that her son was joking with her.

But Louis's smile gradually subsided, looking very serious.

"That is not true, is it?"

"Would you like to appreciate it?" Louis handed her the fax.

After a while, "Look at what you did! Why did you refuse?"

Louis wanted her to be proud of herself instead of getting angry, so he thought about the reason: "My contract with Boston is not over yet, accepting their invitation will cost a lot of liquidated damages, it's not worth it."

"Oh, you're a no-brainer!" Li Xuanbing scolded, "You didn't take a good look at the contract when you signed it!"

"Don't worry, I'm worth 70 now, and I will definitely be worth more in the future." Louis said confidently, "It's never too late for good food."

The matter has come to this point, Li Xuanbing can only accept the fact.

But this does not prevent her from talking about Louis' refusal of 70 when interacting with her neighbors.

For such a long face, the neighbors who don't pass it on know that they are sorry for the number on the fax.
