the rest, only noise

Chapter 648 I Hate That Fat Pig
In the 1989 expansion draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves had the first choice.

Small casinos everywhere are offering boring offers, and they think that the Timberwolves' first pick Ronnie Sekali is inevitable.

As a result, they played a surprise move, and the first-round selection was not a Knicks player.

In other words, he gave the Magic the opportunity to choose first.

why is that?No one could understand. Although Marli and Sekali were of the same level, Sekali would be the first choice for anyone.

However, he just didn't choose, he just played.

The Magic chose Sekali without hesitation.

Next, the Timberwolves selected Dan Marley for their second selection.

Seeing this scene, Louis turned off the TV.

"Don't be sad, it's just two role players." Lorraine knew that Louis wanted to keep one of them.

"Sad? I'm not sad at all."

Lorraine just listened to what he said. If he wasn't sad, why did he hold the remote control tightly?

Look at the veins on his palms.
"My dear, let go of the remote control." Lorraine smiled, "Do you want me to find a sandbag to vent your anger on you?"

"Forget it, I'm really fine."

This matter, to say whether it has a great impact on the Knicks, is not necessarily the case.

Marley has the potential to be an All-Star in the future, and Sekali is probably between a quasi-All-Star and a strong starter, but they are destined not to have a long-term chance to play in the Knicks.

And, with players like them, Louie can add to the draft every summer.

The reason for his displeasure was that things got out of control.

He had negotiated with Pat Williams that as long as the Timberwolves selected Sekali as he expected, he could trade the Magic to select Marley.

But in the end, the Timberwolves played an unexpected game. The first choice was neither Sekali nor Marley, so the agreement between the Magic and the Knicks was voided, and the Timberwolves chose Sekali first, and the Timberwolves chose Marley.

Louie was sure someone was behind it, and, he was sure, it had something to do with Jerry Krause.

Because with Klaus and his grievances, it is completely reasonable to secretly manipulate him.

Of course, even if Louis was sure, it was just a suspicion.

He will verify through his own channels.

Once he finds out who is behind it, whether Klaus or others, don't think this is the end of the matter.

"Honey?"

Lorraine wanted to know how to live in the world of two people today.

Louie said that after watching the expansion draft, he would give himself a day off.

She didn't expect Louis to be immersed in his own world. She called him several times, but there was no response.

Her husband said with a sinister smile, "Actually, I'm fine."

"It's their loss that "Ghostbusters" didn't invite you into the crew." Lorraine joked and hurt Louis.

"It's a pity that I don't like Sigourney Weaver, otherwise I would definitely think about it seriously." Louis complained, "Every time that moldy woman comes to MSG to watch us play badly!"

"Don't say that, Simmons is a good guy."

"OK, no more defenses." Lu Yi smiled, "I'll recover."

After that, Louis stayed with Lorraine for a day, and he left New York the next day.

After each season, the league will hold a board of directors, also known as the annual meeting.

As long as it is not a labor agreement negotiation year, most of the participants are the No. [-] or No. [-] people in the management of each team.

As usual, Louie would visit Auerbach if he was in Washington.

This year, Auerbach happens to be on vacation at home in Washington, where he will be attending the annual meeting with Jane Volcker.

The 1988 Eastern Conference Finals had a rift between Louie and many in the Celtics, but Auerbach didn't break with Louie.

Regarding Louie's various controversial actions in the Eastern Conference finals, he commented lightly: "He knew he had to do it."

It was Dorothy, Auerbach's first wife, who entertained Louis. They had been married for decades and their relationship had been stable.

"Reed talked about you a lot. He said that if there were more young people like you, he would retire early." Dorothy laughed. "You make him feel like a dead star."

"All right, all right!" Auerbach said impatiently, "We still have work to discuss."

Dorothy whispered: "He's shy."

Louis also replied in a low voice: "I can see it."

Auerbach came to Louie, and time passed. It had been five years since the young man left Boston.

When he left, Auerbach had a hunch he was going to make a big difference in New York.

But he didn't expect that in just five years, he changed the league and ended the Celtics' rule.

"What kind of moth are you planning to do this year?" Auerbach snorted coldly, "I heard that you were dishonest at the annual meeting."

Louis said humbly: "With a senior like you present, I dare not say anything. I only brought my ears this year."

"I think you can speak quite well with your small mouth. Don't forget to speak later! Without your speech, the annual meeting would not be complete." Auerbach mocked secretly.

After Jane Walker came, the two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and set off together.

In the car, Volker talked about expanding the draft.

"Lu, do you know why Minnesota gave up the first choice?" Walker asked.

Louis suddenly became interested: "Mr. Jane, for the sake of our seven-year colleagues, please tell me."

"Look at you bastard, what's the big deal?" Auerbach really found out that Louis didn't like how he looked after leaving Boston.

Why didn't such a shameless person stay in Boston to succeed him?
"It is said." Volker was not sure, "Chicago and Minnesota reached an agreement."

Louis asked suspiciously: "It is said?"

"Yes, whether it is true or not, we can wait for a while to see." Walker laughed. "If there is a follow-up trade between Minnesota and Chicago, and Minnesota seems to be the party that benefits, you can continue to dig deeper."

Everyone has their own news network. Volker had been Auerbach's deputy for ten years before, and his eyes were all over the league. It was difficult to hide any news from him.

But like he said, Louis needs confirmation.

Timberwolves general manager Billy McKinney and Jerry Krause have a personal relationship, that's for sure, and if Krause uses their relationship to sow discord and promise benefits, things will make sense.

If Klaus really made such a big circle just to disgust him, then Louis would admit it.

You see he is crazy like this, isn't it good to obey him once?

However, Louis would reserve the right to retaliate.

Isn't that a disgusting person?
Auerbach saw the corner of Louis's mouth curved upwards, and sneered extremely disgustingly: "Why are you so evil?"

"Reed, you're just too thoughtful. How could I have evil intentions? When I meet the general managers of the teams later, you can ask, who doesn't know that I am a loyal person?"

"I can go to you!"

It's been said that those extraordinary stars can control a room.

Wherever the stars go, there will be cheers and onlookers, and the appearance of the leader will make the place orderly, as serious as a state of war.

When Louie and Auerbach appeared together, the people in the boardroom stopped talking.

Most people got up and said hello to Olba.

Then there was Louie, whose authority with the crowd was astonishing.

Jerry West, Don Nelson, Frank Layden, Lewis Shafier, Pat Williams... Even some general managers who had no dealings with him wanted to say a few words to him.

The performance of these people put Klaus and Harry Weltman in an embarrassing situation.

When attending the annual meeting in the past, Louis would sit directly next to Volker.

But this time, he actually walked in front of the "enemy".

"Jerry, I already know what you did with Billy McKinney." Louis smiled lightly. "At the same time, I want you to know that what I dislike the most is being treated as a fool. I think that person is you, because I understand why you did this, and you have that motive. At the same time, I also hope that person is you. Whether it is you or not, as long as I confirm my identity, please believe me, I will definitely 'reciprocate'."

Klaus looked ugly, "Little Lu, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Really? I'm really sorry. I misunderstood you, but I really can't blame me." Louis said sarcastically, "It's in line with your style of eating clean crumbs to be so deliberate for a rookie."

Frank Lydon laughed out loud, and everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Klaus was so angry that he wanted to punch Louis, but at this moment, what else could he do except laugh angrily?
"Will this make you feel better?" Volker asked with a wry smile.

"To be honest, no one has ever made me feel this good except my wife." Louie laughed, "I have to 'thank' that fat pig."

Volker asked: "What if it turns out that this matter has nothing to do with him?"

"Isn't that better? I punched him, but he couldn't fight back. I like to see my enemy want to kill me but can't kill me, want to kill but have nowhere to do it. You don't think I have a good relationship with that fat pig, Mr. Jane?"

Volker said: "Reed is right, you are like a stingy version of him."

"Come on, the old man will give himself money."

Auerbach is still the most special one among those present.

Only he, Stern would specifically ask him to briefly introduce today's agenda elsewhere, and with Auerbach's consent, those agendas would proceed smoothly.

Otherwise, the old man would slap the table to express his disapproval later, but the scene was from the Boston department.

As long as those people encounter something that does not affect the interests of their own team, they will regard Auerbach's attitude as a weather vane.

It can be said that if Stern wants to do anything, he must pass Auerbach's test, otherwise even if he passes, there will be great resistance.

The secret meeting between the two ended with Stern embracing Auerbach warmly, and it seemed that everything went well.
