the rest, only noise

Chapter 1546 Deal quietly, don't make big noise

When Louis was working at TNT, he said a word: "We tell stories to keep ourselves alive."

Now, Reid Auerbach is that kind of guy.

For the vast majority of people in this world, this name no longer has any meaning.

He's also a passer-by to the basketball world.

Only here in Boston does Auerbach's name make waves.

To some people, he is still a very admirable predecessor, but even so, Auerbach still needs to find a group of old friends to gather in a Chinese restaurant to talk about the past.

Louie turned and left without a word.

After that, Auerbach also left.

He left the Fleet Center, and no one knew if this was his last Celtics game.

Fortunately, the Celtics did not disappoint tonight.

In the team's first year of cheerleading, the Celtics won the first championship of the Louie era.

Louis just entered the locker room and said a few words casually, and then the group of extremely excited young people rushed out of the locker room.

Because the live event is not over yet.

The league staff built a gorgeous championship platform, David Stern prepared a speech, and the FMVP selection, everything has a process.

In the past nearly 30 years of his life, Louis has always stood on the team's championship platform as a coach. Tonight, he will put on his peaked cap as the owner for the first time, and win the championship that many teams dream of. Around the trophy.

"It feels different, doesn't it?" Byrd asked with a smile.

Louis holds the O'Brien Cup in his hand, and indeed has many different feelings.

"Hey, why didn't I think this trophy was so beautiful before?" Louis said from the bottom of his heart.

This is his first boss championship!
Ewing, the team's vice president, rolled his eyes: "It's only been five years since you won the championship, and you're just like this. If you don't win the championship for ten years, I dare not think about it."

Louis snorted while holding the trophy: "You, who haven't won the championship for almost ten years, really dare to say it!"

They bickered on stage while Stern said the same greetings in a loud voice.

When he announced the fact that the 2004-05 NBA championship was the Boston Celtics, Louie held up the championship trophy and left a classic photo in the embrace of the team.

Later, ESPN reporter David Aldridge asked: "Coach Lu, how is this championship different from the past?"

"It's so different," Louie gushed. "This is the first championship that I don't have a direct relationship with. It's also the first championship that I don't dominate at all. It's the first championship that I don't play much. The role of the championship. I want to thank Patrick and Larry, they let the Celtics grow from an immature young team to a solid championship. Of course, I also want to thank the group of young guys behind them. His courage and belief are the reasons why we won the championship."

While Louie makes it sound like he's a hands-off shopkeeper, no one will believe the Celtics' championship has nothing to do with him.

Because the absolute main players of the Celtics were almost all selected by Louis before he became the big boss.

At that time, Louis was still the president of the Celtics. Can he say that choosing those people has nothing to do with him?

Now these players are the core players of the Celtics and have won the championship in rotation. Even if he didn't coach it himself, he planted the seeds a few years ago.

If no one sows, there will be no fruit.

Then came the final highlight of the night, the FMVP selection session.

Judging from the data, the main choice is between Yao Yueban and Lu Wuxia.

前者总决赛场均21分10篮板，后者总决赛场均27分7篮板11助攻。

If Louis could choose, he would choose Yao Yueban as the FMVP.

It's not that Yao Yueban is more suitable, but that it can alleviate the conflicts in the team to the greatest extent.

Being elected FMVP is equivalent to letting Wuxia steal all the limelight, and the crux of the problem will return to the initial stage-the public can only see Lu Wuxia, but not other Celtics.

It's just that Lu Wuxia, who is more suitable than Yao Yueban and loses the FMVP, will not make the statistics higher and the commercial value higher.

There is no suspense, Lu Wuxia was elected the most valuable player of the finals with a high vote.

Also, his teammates seem very happy, as if everyone thinks Wish is what they want.

They touched Wuxia's head, patted him on the shoulder, and gently pushed him forward to catch the trophy.

At that moment, Louis saw the satisfaction beyond words on his son's face.

He was wearing a peaked cap, facing the camera, with a sweet smile on his genetically beautiful face, the host asked him to give a speech for winning FMVP, he said: "For me, this trophy is not the most valuable in the finals The player award, but the best team in the NBA this season. It belongs to me and my teammates, all of us are the best players!"

Lu Wuxia's perfect speech brought a successful ending to the evening.

Seeing Lu Wuxia achieve the most glorious night of his life so far, Louis' thoughts also changed a little.

When he chose to return to Boston at first, he wanted to form a no-black team to win the championship. Now it seems that it was very impulsive, and it was purely an excuse to force himself to come back from his idle state.

Now he found a bigger purpose.

Let Wuxia have a great career and a bright future is what Louis is more interested in doing now.

As for the no-black team winning the championship, let it be.

If you really have the opportunity, you can try it. If you don't have the opportunity, you don't have to force it. Compared with your son, this matter is not important at all.

After the finals ended, Louie had a few things to do.

Trade Tony Parker.

As Parker was benched by Bird in the playoffs, he broke out flawlessly and proved his master control ability. From the beginning of the new season, the Celtics' style of play will definitely change.

And Parker, as a player with All-Star potential and in the period of rapid rise and rookie bonus period, will never be willing to sit on the bench and play as a substitute.

Rather than wait until the new season and watch him become a problem for the team, it is better to eliminate the hidden danger before he becomes a problem.

The second is to use the team to win the championship to open various money-making modes.

Souvenirs, peripherals signed by players, championship posters, and even T-shirts with Yao Yueban's emoji are all sources of income.

The last thing is to negotiate with the owner of the fleet center.

With the current momentum of the Celtics, the ball market will definitely be hot in the next few years. If they can't accept Louis's suggestion to upgrade the seats and other audio-visual equipment, Louis can only change the arena as their home stadium.

Moreover, he has a legitimate reason, everything is for the fans!
Among these things, the first thing to do is to trade Parker.

But Louis can't make the deal right now, because the team has just won the championship, and everyone is in a happy mood, including Parker. Although he has been basically a substitute since the fifth game of the Eastern Conference finals, he also believes that he can win the championship with the team And excited.

The last few games of the Eastern Conference finals and the bench in the finals were only temporary for him.

By the time the new season starts, the great Bird coach will surely find a way for him and Wish to coexist.

At this time, if Louis traded him, it would not only hurt Parker's heart, but also ruin the mood of other players celebrating the championship.

Therefore, the safest way is to negotiate the contract first, and the main thing is to negotiate a deal quietly with one hand, without making any noise.

If he didn't want to leak the news, Louis could only negotiate a deal with someone he trusted.

Louis looked at this year's lottery favorites and found that there are basically no people the team needs.

The draft in 2005 was a strange thing. The No. [-] pick in Hot Bogou belonged to the passing line of the No. [-] pick—not as good as the No. [-] pick in Bogou.

The problem is that the Celtics don't need a core point guard anymore.

So, if a lottery pick is going to be changed, it's also for the trade.

Although Parker pulled his hips in the Eastern Conference finals, his performance throughout the season was not ugly. Everyone could see that he had the potential to be an All-Star, and he was still young. He had one year left in his rookie bonus, so he was going to be traded for a lottery pick. Absolutely no problem.

Louie found the Charlotte Bobcats.

This year's Bobcats team is led by Wilson. As Benj and Jordan take control of team affairs, the two gradually reached a consensus.They all want to run the team, but the team can only have one speaker, and they are all small owners of the team, what should we do?It's very simple, two people work in shifts and one manages the work for a year.

Last year's offseason was dominated by Jordan, and this year it's Wilson's turn.

The Bobcats have the No. [-] pick this year. If the No. [-] pick can be exchanged for the young and ready-to-play quasi-All-Star like Parker, it will definitely not lose money.

Moreover, Wilson also believed that Louis would not cheat him.

Although Jordan strongly opposed the deal and thought it would be better to take North Carolina's Raymond Felton with the sixth pick, Wilson didn't take his words seriously and reached a verbal agreement with Louie.

Now, Louie can take the Bobcats' No. [-] pick to find other teams to yell at.
