Chapter 279 I Came Here To Achieve Immortality

In August, Louis returned to the United States.

Back to Boston, to be exact.

A few days ago, Boston announced that Little Lu, who led the team to 87 wins and 12 losses last season, had not renewed his contract with the team. Therefore, chief assistant KC Jones will replace him and become the new head coach of the Celtics.

"No matter where he goes in the future, Louis will always be a member of the Celtics family. Thank you for his dedication and contribution over the past six years!"

After hearing the news, Celtics fans were devastated.

Something more comical happens.

After the Celtics announced that they failed to renew their contract with Louis, the New York Knicks seemed to get angry and hurriedly announced: "We welcome Little Lu to New York City, and we have reached a five-year contract with him."

New Yorkers who heard the news were devastated.

Few people believe that Louie can succeed in New York, because the Knicks do not have as good a lineup and team as the Celtics.

In addition, he was at odds with the New York media.

The only "New York Post" that has a good relationship with him doesn't broadcast much sports news.

The "New York Times", which "has been at odds with Louis", immediately looked down on this signing: "It can be 100% sure that this is the most failed signing of the Knicks after Spencer Haywood. They were blinded by Little Lu's success in Boston.

If Little Lu is to be regarded as the 'Messiah', we will definitely be disappointed.It is undeniable that he has the qualities of a top coach, but basketball is a sport that does not need so much coaches. Bill Russell once served as a player and coach to win two championships.In fact, the NBA should abolish professional coaches and allow core players to serve as coaches.

I am sure the result will be no different. "

For Black Louis, they did not hesitate to offend all the coaches.

The Times is the New York media with the worst attitude towards Louis, and they are also the big media in New York City that are most enthusiastic about sports news.

This is what Louie calls "one of two icebergs."

During the same period, Bob Ryan of The Boston Globe expressed his concerns about Louie: "I know Little Lu, and I believe he can be successful anywhere but New York. The media doesn't like him there, the fans are more impatient, and he has a terrible relationship with Bernard King. They had an unresolved conflict at last season's All-Star weekend."

Louis hadn't come to the Knicks to take office, and he hadn't even looked for a house, so he was considered to have a bleak future.

It can be seen how rough his road ahead is.

Louis returned to Boston and used his children to persuade Li Xuanbing to move again.

Lorraine is due and they are going to New York together, as a grandma, wouldn't she want to hug the baby when it is born?Doesn't she want to take care of the baby?Is being kind to neighbors more important than family happiness?

The answer is obvious, Li Xuanbing was moved by Louis.

Lorraine is much simpler. She was going to go to college in New York, but the date was postponed because of pregnancy.

Now, after convincing Li Xuanbing, Louis no longer has any worries.

He sent voice messages to each of his friends in Boston saying goodbye before leaving.

On August 8, Louis's family of three, no, it should be four, got on the plane to New York together.

When Louis came, he kept a low profile and did not disturb the media.

Luito's friends in New York have purchased a complete house that they can move in with their bags.

Another advantage of moving to New York is that Lorraine can also live in his home, so he doesn't have to run around every day.

Seeing Lorraine's growing belly, Li Xuanbing's attitude towards her is getting better every day.

Such a beautiful daughter-in-law (actually not yet), must give birth to the most beautiful child in the world.

On August 8, Louis settled down.

He's at the Knicks' training ground, the ancient "Blue Palace" gym.

The Blue Palace Gymnasium was originally the training ground of the nearby St. John's College. Later, the school moved and was abandoned.

The Knicks took over the field.

Although it has a long history, both the environment and the facilities are better than the Greek Academy.

Louis didn't expect him to empathize so quickly.

Is this a bit scumbag?Before getting on well with the current one, I began to dislike the ex.

However, the reality is that it cannot be ignored, right?
Unlike the Greek Academy, the Blue Palace even has air-conditioning in the stadium, which can save many lives in summer.

Louie wishes his office had air conditioning too.

The result was as he wished, and David Turner, the equipment manager of the venue, introduced him to the details of the Blue Palace.

He is an old man of the Knicks. He has worked for the team for 20 years. He can be said to be a fossil-level figure. From the prosperity to the decline of the team, he is the witness of everything.

"Coach Lu, this is your office." Turner said, "Hubby Brown also worked here before. If this makes you uncomfortable, you can apply to replace all the office tools."

"Compared to this, I want a vending machine with regular stocking by employees." This was one of Louie's dreams, because Auerbach refused to reimburse him, and there was free Coke in the other's office every day, so he didn't spend his own money to buy it.

Turner smiled and said, "Of course, what else do you need?"

"Is anything ok?"

"As long as it's legal."

“It would be nice to have a full time masseur”

"Sorry, Coach Lu, this involves staffing issues, and I don't have authority." Turner said squintingly, "I absolutely support you. There are many people in this ghost place who need to loosen their muscles."

Louis couldn't believe it and said, "You call this a ghost place?"

"Hey, Coach Lu, you are too serious. Any place where you work for a long time will make you feel irritable. No matter how good its external conditions are, in my opinion, it is a 'ghost place'." Turner said smartly, "Otherwise, why did you come to New York from Boston? This is like replacing Michael Corleone's role in "The Godfather" with Robert De Niro."

When he mentioned this, Louis wanted to compete. "The Godfather" is one of the rare classic old movies that he endured sleepiness to watch. At first he just wanted to expand his movie viewing experience, but later he really fell in love with this movie.

So he said with reason: "Robert is also an excellent actor, otherwise, Coppola would not have left him a role in the movie."

"But you have to admit that Al Pacino and Marlon Brando are what make this movie 'immortal' in film history."

"I admit."

"So, you see, you gave up the opportunity to achieve 'immortality' and came to New York. I thought about it for many days and couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until you questioned me that I called the Blue Palace a ghost place just now, and I suddenly realized it." Turner gave Louis an empathetic expression, "We are all the same, tired of staying in the same place until we get rusty."

The same monster appeared!

"No, we are different."

Louie had to give a negative answer. Didn’t he leave Boston because he was tired of the old and terrible training ground of the Greek Academy and the hellish atmosphere of the Boston Garden and the locker room layout comparable to a slum? Would adding an electric fan kill you?

These were by no means the main reasons Louie left there, they were at best the second most important reasons.
"What's the difference?"

"If you are the same as me, you shouldn't just complain that this is a ghost place, you should work in a different place, so that we have reached 'unity' in will and action. But you don't, you just complain, so you and I are different."

Louis smiled and sat in his office chair, which he found uncomfortable and a little shaky, who knew what nasty things that idiot Brown had done with the chair and the desk?
"Also, I gave up leading a championship team in Boston and came here not because I was tired of everything there."

Louie felt that it would be better not to continue sitting in this chair.

"It's because I want to achieve immortal performance with my own ability."

Hearing this, Turner took a second to digest, another second to confirm that he was living in reality, and then a second to hold back his laughter.

Half a second later, his saliva spurted out with an uncontrollable "poof" from his lips.

"Little Lu, I admire you so much! Sure enough, just as the media said, you are really our Messiah!"

Turner bowed to Louis eccentrically: "I hope you can achieve your goal before I get rusty all over."

"Since this is the case, why don't you do something for me first. In my immortal Hall of Fame speech in the future, I will definitely spend more than ten seconds thanking you." Louis said with a smile, "I will replace my office chair, desk, and everything used by Coach Brown with new ones, thank you."

Turner asked strangely: "Didn't you have no problem just now?"

Louie touched his butt subconsciously, "I have a problem now."

"Okay, of course!"

"By the way, show me Coach Brown's coaching team roster."

"Ok."

After a while, Turner had the roster delivered.

Brown is a very successful and self-confident person, and Louie wants to see if there are any acquaintances on this list.

In the end, he actually saw one.

Assistant coach: Rick Pitino.

Of this man, Louie thought of his failures in Boston.

What Louis didn't know was that Pitino came to Boston as a savior. He was the team chairman, general manager, and head coach all in one, with the ambition to become Auerbach's second.

As a result, he discovered that the difference between professional basketball and college basketball is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Louis put down the roster and left a message for Tomjanovich who was still packing his luggage in Boston: "Everything is fine in New York. To tell you the truth, I have fallen in love with it."
