Louis severely humiliated John Killiah at the ventilation meeting.

But Auerbach didn't care about this. He felt that if a professional person does professional things, if another professional person is in the way you can either shut up, convince him, humiliate him, or be successful in getting in the way you can.

Louis convinced everyone and shut up in a way that humiliated his opponent.

Every decision from management will affect the future of the team, which is so serious that you can express your thoughts in a humiliating tone.

Everyone was impressed by Louis.

He is only 18 years old?

This is amazing too!

After Louis finished speaking, Kirilia had nothing to say. Auerbach summed up and asked Deputy General Manager and Senior Scout Jane Volker to come up with a trading plan.

The ventilation will end here.

"Did you notice the last look of Reid looking at you?" K.C asked with a smile.

Louis said uneasyly: "I saw it, full of murderous aura. Have I done too much?"

"Just right!" K.C said affirmatively, "Reed admires you very much!"

At present, Auerbach only has the appreciation of Louis.

His eloquence, his thinking, his courage, he may not know that he is taking risks. If he pointed a wrong way to the team, his scouting career might end.

No one wants to believe the 18-year-old kid unless he is as rigorous as Louis.

Management is a place where qualifications need to be achieved, but if you can achieve results quickly, you can see your ability, and promotion is only in the mind of the person in power.

Three days later, on June 9, 1978, this year's draft was held at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

Before the draft began, the Pacers, who had the No. 1 pick, traded swaps with the Trail Blazers, the third pick in the first round.

Then, after confirming Bird will return to college to play his fourth college season, the Trail Blazers chose to give up the once-in-a-century Wizards in the eyes of the scout and selected Mychal Thompson C/PF of the University of Minnesota.

This year's draft is somewhat similar to the 1972 draft. When Bird announced that he would play in his senior season, the team with the top five picks felt boring. Six years ago, the Trail Blazers, who had the No. 1 pick, did not negotiate the price with the most popular Bob McAdoo C of the year, and were threatened by the other party that "either give me money or go to the ABA and let you get nothing." They had no choice but to choose LaRue Martin C.

Martin played for four seasons in the NBA, averaging 5 points and 4 rebounds per game, and a shooting percentage of 40%. To be honest, in an era when the NBA strictly required players to finish four years of college before they could run, being able to get a top pick and choose such a parallel product is not a difficult operation that ordinary people can complete.

This year, the Trail Blazers chose Thompson, which is essentially nothing wrong. If they don’t get Bird, they have to respect tradition and give priority to big men. They are determined to get out of the shadow of Walton farce and reshape the championship glory. Considering that their No. 1 pick is exchanged for the third pick, considering that their third pick is exchanged for Moses Malone’s signing rights, considering that Thompson’s No. 1 pick is selected after they have given up having the "Prophet" and Bird one after another - you really have to give a thumbs up to the management of this team, and you can avoid the correct answer every time.

Next, ignore four players who have stories but do not have as many causal backgrounds as Clay's father. In the sixth pick, the Celtics chose Larry Bird as if they were destined to choose Larry Bird.

This story will be more and more magical in the future. What bishops say is not allowed to choose each team, and what bishops exploit the loopholes in the rules make each team angry. Because of the myths/demonizations of Auerbach by various writers, the story of the Celtic locking Bird in advance like a robbery has become strange.

The specific reason has been introduced in the previous article, so I will not describe it more here. I can only say that Auerbach is on the fifth floor. From the moment he got Bird, he has been preparing to build a competitive team for Bird.

Next, the Celtics followed the steps.

They contacted Atlanta to discuss the deal.

This made the Hawks' senior executives very nervous. There are rumors in the world. If Auerbach calls you on his own initiative, he will definitely be uneasy.

When they learned that the Celtics only wanted their third pick in the second round, they immediately relaxed.

The specific process is unknown. The Celtics finally sent away Joe Joe White, who had been making trouble, and got the Hawks' third pick in the second round and the third round pick in 1979.

As the Celtics decided at the ventilator.

They selected John Long with the third pick in the second round and Maurice Chicks with their eighth pick in the second round.

The 76ers management in Philadelphia was surprised to see Chicks being robbed by the Celtics.

"This is not the right thing!" McMahon shouted.

He had clearly described Chicks as a cancerous player on the phone, so why did the Celtics still insist on their own? Are they crazy?

This result disappointed the 76ers, but this disappointment was only temporary.

Even they didn't know how good Chicks' future would be, they just felt that they had missed a bead.

Only McMahon was unwilling to give up. He sold the scout report with Chicks to K.C. Jones, but he was 100% sure that Jones would not find Chicks from it.

Because that scout report has no highlights.

How could anyone be interested in a defender from a primary school without any game video?

This incident bothers McMahon like a demon.

He remembered the phone call. Did the Celtics already fall in love with Chicks? Calling was just a test?

If so, everything makes sense.

The worse he said Chicks, the more the Celtics looked down on Chicks.

McMahon still couldn't understand. As far as he knew, all the Celtic scouts' focus was on Larry Bird and Freeman Williams. How could anyone pay attention to Chicks?

"Damn K.C Jones, when did you become so cunning!!!"

The honest and honest K.C. Jones finally took everything himself.

When the draft result came out, Louis was working out at the Greek Academy, and his first phase of work had already ended.

The Celtics have no habit of tracking high school students, and he has nothing to do before the new season of NCAA starts.

However, if you are enlightened, you can study in advance the junior players who will graduate next year.

But Louis did not have this awareness and worked hard for John Lang and Chicks. During this period of continuous high-intensity work, he wanted to relax.

So, for the week after that, he lingers in bars and nightclubs, and explores each other's physical mysteries with seven women.

His pressure was effectively released.
