Chapter 1501 We both have a bright future
In September, the Boston Celtics announced that former Lakers assistant Mike Budenholzer and former NBA Clippers head coach Jeff Van Gundy will join Isaiah Thomas' coaching staff.
This incident is not surprising. Van Gundy and Budenholzer were both assistant coaches when Louis coached the Chinese team. Now that Louis is coming to Boston, they are also following him.
The addition of Van Gundy and Budenholzer turned Thomas' coaching staff into a behemoth.
Including the chief assistant coach Bill Ranbill, Thomas's coaching staff has six assistant coaches and is equipped with shooting coaches, inside coaches, trainers, and nutritionists.
On October 30, 2001, the NBA new season opening game, and the Celtics were arranged to play against the Cavaliers at home. Many Celtic supporters have high expectations for the new season.
After Louis's operation, the team was not only full of youthful vitality, but also had a strong white body fragrance - white body fragrance. No one dared to publicly state this.
The Boston Media’s caliber is: It’s all the result of its operation.
This game was the first game since Louis took office as president, so he also came to the center of the fleet. Of course, he did not come alone.
Also on the scene with him was Reed Auerbach.
On his day of taking office, Louis called Auerbach the team's banner, and his intentions were self-evident.
We should keep a person like this totem in our hearts and respect him well, instead of carrying him out to talk about things at any time. Unexpectedly, Louis broke the unspoken rule of not seeing the king today and sat side by side with Auerbach.
I still don’t understand why you don’t coach? Auerbach asked, are they not giving you enough money? Louis really has no desire to coach now.
Moreover, he was not sure what kind of playing style should be used for this team.
Instead of crossing the river by feeling the stones by yourself, it is better to sacrifice Isaiah Thomas first, and wait until he touches all the difficulties he should encounter, and then he will play in the battle to pick fruits and sound like a Larry Brownian demeanor.
After all, Louis really has no idea of coaching.
The days when flying around every day are too tiring, and the team's special planes are not as comfortable as their own planes.
Louis said with a frown: I want to do it too, but when I took office, Isaiah secretly told me that he might be a coaching wizard in all directions, but he just suffered from the lack of an excellent team. As long as I put together a championship team for him, he could lead the team to win the championship.
Auerbach didn't even believe Louis's words. Do you believe it? Auerbach asked with a narrow eye.
I believe it!
Every great liar will slander himself before lying to others. If you can't even win the trust of yourself, how can you win the trust of others? Who said Isaiah is the bottom coach in the NBA? I think he is pretty good with him coaching in the front and I plan for it later, and major events can be decided.
Auerbach said angrily: Do you really think I am Alzheimer's disease?
Don't worry, I gave Isaiah a chance. If he doesn't work, I'll kick him into the Somali Trench.
The Celtics entered the first game of Louis era. Thomas and the assistants discussed it and sent out such a
The black component is getting higher and higher in professional basketball.
In the new century, the addition of European players has slowed down the process of the NBA's blackening process, but the general situation is difficult to change. Auerbach really didn't expect the Celtics to become the whitest team in the NBA again.
Then, he stood up.
Auerbach looked at the Celtics' bench and his face became even more ugly. The number of non-black players was overwhelming!
Louis! Auerbach instantly realized what the hell was that Chinese guy doing. You are really crazy? Louis smiled and said: Don’t be excited, sit down and talk.
Auerbach regretted telling that bullshit story at the luncheon. He released a demon!
You tell me clearly! Auerbach said, what are you doing? Louis is very open-minded, I really want to do that.
***Crazy?!
Reed, you should know that I won't force myself to do something beyond my reach. If I find that I can't do it, I'll stop, but you have to let me try it.
Auerbach lowered his voice and said: Try? To put it nicely, you are challenging a certain historical record. To put it bluntly, that is to carry out blatant racism in the NBA!
So before I confirm that my angel team, destined to make history, has the ability to win the championship, there will still be demons in my team.
Angel Demon
Auerbach's spine was chilling when he heard it.
He found that not only should he not tell Louis that story, but he should not help Paul Gaston as a lobbyist to invite him out.
This bastard is really a racist!
Didn’t this matter be revealed in this book before? He seemed to have called Ewing Gorilla openly in private?
Seeing Auerbach blue and white, Louis was a little worried that he would die suddenly in the center of the fleet. Reed, things were not what you thought.
Auerbach snorted coldly: Who knows what you think?
If I were that kind of person, how could I achieve so many achievements? Louis frankly said that I am just a little vanity like most ordinary people.
Auerbach said dissatisfiedly: You can have vanity, but you shouldn't tie the entire Celtics as a tool to satisfy your vanity. Upon hearing this, Louis laughed: Don't you think the Celtics are the most suitable team for this? Just imagine, as the most notorious city in terms of racial discrimination, but also has the most inclusive professional sports team in the United States. If this professional sports team accidentally succeeds in a black-ruling basketball game in the future with a suspected racism, think about how many Americans will go crazy about it? I was so excited when I thought about this.
Auerbach wanted to speak but stopped. Louis continued: But, after all, these are all by-products of that matter, and what I pursue is just that matter.
Auerbach was mixed with emotion. He wanted to stop Louis, but in what name? What's more, Louis just said, as long as he turned around and refused to admit it, everything would be early.
He no longer had the ability to stop Louis. After all, Louis was invited back.
Even if the Celtics, under Louis' leadership, bankrupted the reputation that had been established for fifty years in the future, it was his fault, that he had read the wrong person.
He should have thought of it long ago, since Louis showed his passion for that matter at the lunch meeting that day. When he thought of the possible consequences of this incident, Auerbach felt exhausted.
How confident are you? Auerbach asked softly. I was talking about that. The old man finally realized the reality. Louis replied with a smile: 70%.
Auerbach sarcastically said: I thought you would only take action if you were 100% sure.
This matter is not 100% sure. Louis said that basketball is a black sport after all. Putting aside them, if you want to win the NBA, you have to gather the remaining elites, but this is impossible. I believe I can find potential talents, but I don’t know if they have the ability to win the championship.
Then you still let Isaiah lead the team?
This is a life that is destined to hit a wall. My reputation cannot be ruined here. Isaiah will not be bad for me to hit a wall. Louis said with pride that Isaiah and I reached an unprecedented agreement on this matter, and we both have a bright future.
Upon hearing this, Auerbach looked at Thomas off the court pitifully. He and Louis should never have any good partners again.
Poor Isaiah, how much virtue did he lack in his previous life to encounter this shaved?
