the rest, only noise

Chapter 747
Although the Lakers' chances of winning the away game are slim, their entire team, from the most ordinary staff to general manager Jerry West, has come to New York.

However, their opponents didn't take the night's game seriously.

Because in the past few days, the biggest news for the Lakers is not how to prepare for Game6, but Kevin Johnson publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the tragedy division.

KJ blatantly declared that if the ball is not dispersed, the Lakers will not win another championship in the era of tragedy.

At the same time, he also admitted that he has sacrificed enough for the team, but what is the result?

How should the tragedian respond in this situation?

In fact, it's quite interesting. The tragic teacher is as generous as an elder: "KJ doesn't understand what it takes to win a championship. I understand his thoughts, but before the time comes, I will resolve this matter with him in private. This is not a problem for us. This is not only my team, but also his team. I will help him."

Can the words of the tragedian alleviate the contradiction?

Louis didn't think this would have any effect, and even his remarks made it reasonable for James to use him as a template to enter the league in the future.

Tragedy's remarks reminded Louie of James' rhetoric about recruiting Leonard in the summer of 2019.

What is he talking about?

"This is your team in two years' time."two years later?seriously?Leonard was Kerry at the time, leading the Raptors throughout the playoffs and killing Yu Yuyong, who was full of injuries, and became the de facto No. 1 in the league in those few months.You said that he, a young superstar who has just proved his strength and can be the boss anywhere, goes to join forces with you, a [-]-year-old man, and he has to wait two years before he becomes the boss?
Those with a bad temper let the Lakers and the emperor climb directly, but Leonard belongs to the kind of extremely poor quality, he chose to walk the Lakers like a dog.

Although Leonard's development in the Clippers did not go as smoothly as he planned, his attitude towards James is consistent with KJ's attitude towards the tragedian today.

Young master, I can play as well without you, so why do you put on a stinky air to compare yourself?
Obviously, this can't solve the problem. The Lakers are already blowing themselves up. Therefore, the Knicks are bound to win the game that night.

Even the coaching staff is busy with other things.

Elgin Baylor came to Louie's office, eager for documents.

"Where is Zhao, isn't he here?" Baylor's impatient look made Louis wonder if the old tree in his house was about to give birth.

"What's the matter? What's the hurry?"

Baylor looked at his watch, he actually forgot that Louis had a clock in his office.

"I have an appointment! This guy is usually on time, why is he so slow today?" Baylor asked anxiously.

"An appointment?"

Louis vaguely smelled the smell of adultery: "Female? Does Elaine (Elgin Baylor/Baylor's wife) have any objections? Are you afraid of being beaten by her?"

"Go! What girl, am I such a dishonest person?" Baylor said seriously, "Jerry invited me to dinner!"

Except for Jerry, who was retired by the Lakers and has been working for the Lakers since he retired, there is probably no one else who can make Baylor so interested. He has a surname of West.

"What did Jerry want you for?" Louie asked.

Baylor found that Louis was getting more and more gossip, and actually inquired about his relationship with West as if he were inquiring about adultery.

"Of course we just get together casually and have a meal together." Baylor said naturally, "It's not like you don't know our relationship, he is my good friend!"

Louis looked at Baylor with even more strange eyes: "You won't leak the secrets of the team again, will you?"

Baylor didn't expect that Louis was still thinking about what he accidentally said on the phone.

"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Besides, how could I leak the secret? What secret do I have to tell him?"

"That's hard to say. The scouting department under Yuanzheng is the most advanced in the league. What if you sell him the team's scouting report?"

Baylor seemed to be insulted: "Boy, if you don't trust me, go to the banquet with me!"

"A word is settled!"

WTF!Baylor was shocked to find that he had been tricked by Louis again.

"You forced me to be like this just for a meal?"

"What are you talking about?" Louis looked away guiltily, "Do you think I look like this kind of person?"

"You stare me in the eyes and talk hard!"

"Don't look, you have gum in your eyes, watching too much will affect your appetite."

He can always find a reason.

"He's 30 years old, he doesn't have a decent job, and he does everything he can to earn money." Baylor shook his head and sighed.

At this time, Zhao Yuanzheng appeared with his scout report.

He has scouting reports for every major player in the 1990 draft right here.

"It's coming!"

Baylor is going to put away these scouting reports and go back and read them slowly.

"Wait a minute, I want to see it too!" Louis asked, "What time is your dinner with Jerry?"

"12 point."

"Then what are you in a hurry for? There is still an hour."

Baylor waved his hands and said, "Look at me like this, don't you want to make a pose? How can this be seen?"

"Then wait!"

Louis took a look at the compiled scouting report.

The first page of the scouting report is to introduce this year's No. [-] pick, Derek Coleman.

Before knowing Coleman, Louis had compared DeMarcus Cousins ​​to him, but the similarities between the two were few and far between.Even the "character" in the eyes of scouts is not very similar.Cousins ​​is a wayward psycho, and Coleman is a traumatized jerk who often loses control of his desires.

In college, two of his close friends were shot.

On the court, he often had conflicts with his teammates because of ball rights. Once, Syracuse University alumni were dissatisfied with Coleman's attitude and criticized him.Coleman wanted to come forward and admit his mistake, while telling him to shut up.For some reason, when Coleman came in front of the other party, he suddenly couldn't control his temper, and made a gesture of "eat my dick, idiot".

Then, there were scandals of molesting female students and breaking into girls' apartments.

From a basketball player's point of view, his talent is impeccable and he is a perfect power forward.He has good static talent, enough strength, solid inside footsteps, comprehensive skills, and can even dribble past people. He is also a left-hander, but he has a fan-like shooting selection. He is obviously not accurate, but obsessed with mid-range and long-range jumpers.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanzheng left the option of "dangerous players, not worthy of the No. [-] pick" in the conclusion of his scouting report.

The Knicks don't have the No. [-] pick, and Zhao Yuanzheng still writes like this, which shows how pessimistic he is about Coleman's prospects.

There are many problems in this draft. Judging from the scouting report, there are not many normal people.

"I feel sorry for everyone in the lottery." Louis joked.

Zhao Yuanzheng also said: "This year is indeed a year with less attractiveness."

"Okay, can we stop wasting time?" Baylor looked anxious.

Louis had to hand over the scouting report to Baylor, and then leave the Blue Palace with him.

Since it was entertaining old comrades in arms, Baylor was willing to spend money, and he set the location at one of the best restaurants in New York—Louis never thought that he was going for such a meal.

In order not to appear confused, he intervened in the two-person world of Baylor and West, and he also brought Lorraine out of the house, who was rarely free.

Louis originally thought that the meeting between Baylor and West should be like the atmosphere in the TV series "Bright Sword", where Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie sat on the kang, drinking and chatting about the mountains.

Unexpectedly, the mood of these two people was exceptionally calm.

West didn't smile a few times the whole time, and he was a bit reserved in front of Baylor.

On the contrary, Baylor worked hard to enliven the atmosphere, but in the end it was too bad and let Louis sit over.

"Let me tell you, I must be useful. You won't treat me to dinner for nothing." Louis said proudly.

West asked unexpectedly: "Aren't you AA?"

Baylor said helplessly: "This guy said that Chinese people have to pay when they invite friends out to eat."

"There is such a thing." West laughed, "Elkin, I think you should treat me to dinner more than Coach Lu."

Seeing West smiling so happily, Baylor naturally said nothing.

"Okay, today's bill is on me!"

Believe it or not, Louie does feel like he's jazzed up the table.

Afterwards, he introduced Lorraine to West.

West, who was naturally diplomatic, praised Lorraine's performance in "Future Leap" and called her the only choice for Best Actress in a Morning Emmy this year.

"Actually, I also like the Lakers very much. Louis often mentioned you to me. He said that the Lakers have the best general manager in the league."

"Ahem, what am I?" Baylor asked.

"Ugh" Lorraine forgot Baylor was there.

Louis could only say: "Elgin, don't blame Marlena for saying that. After all, you haven't won the best general manager of the year yet. If you win this award, you must be one of the best."

"Yes, that's what I meant."

Lorraine and Louis sang together, and the atmosphere rose sharply. It turned out to be too peaceful, but now, it was so hot that Baylor hoped that the couple would control themselves.
