the rest, only noise

Chapter 1468 I wish you every year today

"The person who can really rejuvenate the Celtics is sitting next to you."

Paul Gaston looked at Louis for the first time.

Louis casually picked up a piece of roast duck with skin on, and said lightly, "You're flattering me, Reed."

"I see, Reed may not be flattering you, Coach Lu." Zane said, "Owning Louis, owning a dynasty, this is what everyone agrees on."

Louie didn't know how to respond.

To be honest, he doesn't hate being complimented to his face, but it really feels a little strange to be complimented by old men like Auerbach and his brother.

Gaston said with shame: "Not long ago I visited Coach Lu in Los Angeles and extended an invitation to him, but..."

Auerbach acted as if Louis didn't exist, "But what? So what if you were rejected, Paul, if you liked a woman, would you stop pursuing her just because she rejected you once?"

What kind of metaphor is this Nima?Louis stared at the old man unkindly.

"But…"

Auerbach interrupted Gaston again: "Don't worry about it, do you know how many times New York invited Louis? You know that Los Angeles has been trying to invite him to Los Angeles since 1984, and finally succeeded in 1994. And you see, both teams were successful."

After all, Auerbach raised his glass, "Own Louis, own Dynasty."

Now Louis could hear that the old man was burying himself, moreover, between his words he meant to be a lobbyist for the Celts.

Gaston immediately said to Louis: "Coach, if I invite you again, will you accept it?"

Louis said simply: "I'm not sincere enough, I refuse."

Afterwards, Louie was the first guest to leave the luncheon.

Gaston looked over to Auerbach as Louie left.

"Reed, this matter..."

Auerbach took out the cigar from his mouth, "You can't do things with an eight-figure annual salary, don't expect me to do it with a meal."

Zane said: "I think Coach Lu is enjoying his current life. If he pushes too much, it may have the opposite effect."

"Enjoy life?" Auerbach really couldn't hear this.

How old is Louie? Only 40 years old, whether as a godfather or a professional sports administrator, this is the golden age, and many people start coaching and working behind the scenes from this age.

Louis debuted too early and won too much, but this does not mean that he will be content with the status quo.

"As long as he doesn't find another home for a day, the Celtics will have a chance." Auerbach said confidently, "And, I believe he will choose Boston in the end."

Gaston didn't know where Auerbach's confidence came from: "Why?"

Auerbach didn't elaborate, but said, "I have a reason that he can't refuse."

At this time, an old guy at the meeting was probably drunk, and said cursingly: "I really don't understand why you value that damn Japanese so much, making him look like a goddamn god!"

Zane smiled and said, "A friendly reminder, he is not Japanese."

"Impossible, he looks almost like a Japanese!"

Fortunately, Louis left early, otherwise he would have dragged this old man to the Octagon to have a heart-to-heart talk.

How much effort did he put in to lose weight in order to restore his appearance to his peak?Come to him, is he still a Japanese?You can't find anyone more handsome than him in Japan, right? !

Shortly after the luncheon, the Celtics made a deal.

Like Louie said, they sent Sam Cassell to Philly for Steve Smith and the 2002 class and 2004 first-round pick.

Isiah Thomas was visibly unhappy when the deal happened.

"Although I control the affairs of the team, the operation of the team is not decided by me. My opinion is just a reference. What to do in the end depends on the ideas of people with real power."

What Thomas said is tantamount to handing a knife to the media.

Look, I don't even have the power to decide the transaction, so stop scolding me, scold the person above me, as for who he is, guess what.

Thomas had pissed off Paul Gaston, but even so, he could only be angry, because Thomas said things that had big implications but didn't say them outright.

After all, it is not a day or two for the media to take things out of context.

Louis didn't care about the Celtics' internal struggles.

After returning from the lunch meeting, Louie's life did not change.

He still lives a slow-paced life. In addition to going to work on TNT, he will also participate in various entertainment activities with Lorraine.

Some directors even want to invite him to film.

Louis was not interested in acting, so he directly refused.

It's rare for Louis to rest at home this Christmas.

In previous years, he would either lead the team to play at home or go away.

Like today, order the kitchen to prepare a table of good food, serve the pre-ordered wine on the table, the whole family gathers together, have a lively meal, and watch a Christmas battle between the 76ers and the Heat by the way, it is true is to enjoy.

The quality of the game itself fully deserves the Christmas spirit.

The 76ers and the Heat had a real fight, and the intensity of the game was very high.

The most intuitive point is that Heat coach Billy Donovan used the shark-slashing tactic in the game.

After one game, O'Neal stood on the free throw line 25 times and only hit 8 goals.

Under normal circumstances, even if you want to use the shark-killing tactic, it will not be as targeted as in the playoffs.It's almost enough to cut only at critical moments.

And Donovan was crazy, and the six insiders in the team averaged 4 fouls on their backs. O'Neal never got a round of comfortable post-ups.

At the same time, due to O'Neal's poor free throw tonight, the Heat's shark-slashing tactics are extremely profitable.

In the end, the Heat defeated the 76ers through this tactic, allowing Wilson, who scored 55 points in the game, to drop into the air.

O'Neal, who had no game experience at all, accused Donovan with a dark face after the game: "He made the game ugly. This is not what Christmas should be like!"

Billy Donovan grinned: "I wish Shaq a Merry Christmas."

Liu Yuqing added a knife: "I wish him every year today."

Liu Yuqing came out to disgust O'Neill purely out of grievances.

After the Dream Team's defeat in Sydney, all walks of life in the United States wondered why.

Dream team coach Rudy Tomjanovich, who took the blame and resigned, said: "Compared with Louis, I have no preparation for this game, and I am responsible for the loss."

Although Tomjanovich took the initiative to take over the pot, it was unsatisfactory.

At this time, O'Neill, who always likes to talk, said: "That's because I didn't participate. If I was there, it wouldn't take half a game to kill the Chinese team."

Those who are really irritated by this sentence are precisely the players of the Chinese team.

Kang Chengbiao first scolded him in the media, and then sarcastically said: "Then why didn't he come to Sydney? Could it be that he didn't want to? Oh, by the way, how can he release a rap album when he participates in the Sydney Olympics? How can national honors compare to his rap album?"

The scolding war continued until the beginning of the season before it eased.

During that time, Liu Yuqing did not participate in the scolding battle.

Today, Liu Yuqing's sudden attack just shows that he is the Chinese player who knows best how to get O'Neal's mentality.

If you have nothing to do to scold, you can only enjoy your mouth. Like tonight, let O'Neill play a game that is worse than eating shit, and then step on his head and send a blessing from the underworld to cause real damage.

Louis, who knew the cause and effect clearly, was delighted.

The more O'Neill was devastated, the more relieved he became.

Louie then sent Christmas wishes to Donovan and Duncan.

A few days later, the first year of the new century came to an end.

On New Year's Day, Louis also visited Bombardier's headquarters and took a look at the samples of the upcoming aircraft.

Louis walked into the plane and took a look around. He was satisfied with both the seats and the various services that the crew could provide.

Finally, Louie, confirmed the delivery time.

Entering the new year, the competition of professional basketball has entered a new era. All teams are looking forward to the arrival of the All-Star Weekend, but it is LeBron James, a tenth grade high school student in Ohio, who really makes a ripple in the basketball world.

This is the first time James has entered the national scene. His strong figure that does not match his age, his imaginative physical fitness, and his extraordinary ball-handling skills remind people of a magician.

Moreover, this may be a stronger version of the magician with enhanced physical fitness in all aspects.

It's definitely unusual for a tenth-year player to get that kind of publicity and exposure.

Louis didn't take it too seriously, after all, he had already experienced it in his previous life.

One day, he suddenly received a call.

It was Auerbach calling.

Auerbach wondered why he wasn't at this week's luncheon.

Louie asked inexplicably, "Why should I participate?"

"You're invited," Auerbach said of course.

It was like an honor to be invited.

Perhaps it was an honor for the regular guests at the luncheon, but certainly not Louie.

What kind of status is he, and he still spends a few hours every week to listen to you, a retired old man, bragging?

"Can I say no?"

"No!" Auerbach said savagely, "I have to see you at the luncheon next Tuesday!"

Are you a bandit?
Louis said speechlessly, "I'll see when the time comes."
