"What you just did is almost done."

Sometimes, Louis's anger and curse are performing.

It was a manifestation that he himself regarded as a performance art, but just now, his performance was the anger accumulated by staying up late to review the competition last night, and the irresistible explosion after seeing the parties involved.

It is a reflection of true feelings.

"Because I really care." Louis did not regret it, even though he had a estrangement from Ewing, even if he made Ewing hate him.

If You changed those wrong habits and styles of playing because he hated and hated people, Louis would be acceptable.

He didn't mind being hated, he was a person with a bright future who became mediocre under his nose, just like Zhou Qi.

He is responsible for Zhou Qi's mediocrity, but he can still find excuses.

For example, the CBA's general environment at that time was not suitable for cultivating people, such as he was not a member of the coaching staff.

If he and Zhou Qi's growth have no direct connection, then he should not be responsible for the other party's death.

Now it is different. Ewing comes to his subordinates. His performance determines not only his future, but also the future of the Knicks.

Before Jordan's rise, except for the Seattle Supersonics in 1979, every championship team had a great inside line.

If Ewing develops normally, he can still become the inside corner of the championship team.

But Louis was reluctant to make another flawed movie like he had never been there.

Now he is the director of Ewing's movie, and he can decide the whole process of the movie. Since he has watched this movie, should he still make the original problems of the movie appear in the movie he directs again?

Maybe, if he had changed to a time traveler, he would probably really not care about anything. He would have to build a space warship based on his omniscient and omnipotent foresight, but he would not do it.

He has Zhou Qi PTSD (I don't think there will be future players falling), and he is not that omniscient and omnipotent. For the NBA after 1985, he only knows the reason but not the reason.

So be careful and cautious at every step.

Ewing is his foundation, and he can't let any problems with the foundation.

No one advised Louis, Tom Janovic to supervise the training, and Jackson asked if he needed comfort Ewing.

"Don't go, do whatever you should do!" Louis said angrily.

Robinson asked, “Who am I practicing today?”

"Patrick doesn't train today, so you can practice whoever you want, and don't get too tired of yourself. If that guy has a pursuit, he might keep you and train with him."

In the end, this incident was hit by Louis.

Louis was about to watch a movie to relax when suddenly his phone rang.

It was called by Baylor.

"Seattle wants to make a deal with us," Baylor said.

Louis asked with great interest: "What do they want?"

"Louis Orr."

“What is the quote?”

"George Johnson C and Alex Stivs and the first round pick in 1988, but with top 10 picks."

The desire for supersonic reinforcement is urgent. Their first round pick in 1986 was in the hands of the Celtics, and no matter how bad the record was, they would be a wedding dress for others.

"Elgin, what do you think?" I asked my colleagues about their opinions first. This is a basic respect for them and also makes me feel open-minded.

Baylor is positive about the deal.

"Although George Johnson and the Latvians are not of use to us, George is an expiring contract, the Latvians are rookies, there is room for improvement, and there is a future first round, but Or is not very useful to us."

Louis said easily: "Let Wilkens call me."

"good."

Louis waited for a while, and the general manager of Supersonics, Lenny Wilkens, called.

"Hello, coach Lu, Elgin should have told you about the transaction. Do you have any ideas?"

Louis had a hard time believing that Wilkens would negotiate in a tone where this deal was a win-win.

"Leni, you and I are old friends, I will just say it directly. If you don't give me more draft picks, I won't make a deal with you."

"Lu, I have given you two useful players, and a first round pick. What I want to change is a player who is not very useful in your hands. This is a deal that is good for both of us."

Louis was already used to the words of this group of people.

There are few wins on the trading market, and one side wins twice. If you can’t win twice, but neither side makes much money, it is called stop loss.

If Louis agrees to this deal, he will give away a player who can play for nothing, in exchange for an old center and an international player with more historical significance than practical significance. Well, is Stevens really an international player? He forgot.

Oh, and there is also an impossible discounted draft pick.

"Leni, this deal is only good for you, I can't see what's good for us. Do you want to say that George Johnson is very useful to us, or do you have international friends who have no chance to come to New York and play like a qualified NBA player? As for the first round pick you said you want to give me, I don't have any sincerity." Louis and Wilkens have met many times, and they are familiar with each other. Now that the conversation has started, his words are very direct. "I'm very unfavorable to your future, so I believe that until 1988, your first round pick was also in the top ten. You set a top ten pick protection to make money, and I can't agree."

Wilkens said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think I will add a draft pick that may become a lottery pick for Louis?"

"This is your problem, Lenny, this is my asking price for Louis. You have to know that although his main position is power forward, he can defend small forwards and play centers in the small ball lineup. The defense is the best in the Knicks team. I don't need him, it's purely because I want to give the new players more time."

Louis said confidently.

"If you want him, you have to pay more."

"What do you want?"

"Change the top ten picks protection in the first round in 1988 to the top three picks protection, and give me a future first round pick swap, maybe I will agree."

"Impossible, Louis!"

"It's a pity, Lenny, I hope you get a good player from someone else to solve your urgent needs, I love you, really."

After saying that, Louis hung up the phone.

Louis walked out of the office and asked Tom Janovic downstairs: "How is the Seattle Supersonic record now?"

"It's awful!" Tomjanovic said, "only won four games."

It seems that my asking price is still too conservative, and I should have to swap two first-round draft picks.

Louis thought to himself, and suddenly realized that the players were watching.

Suddenly he threw his stinky face over, "What are you looking at? I'm thinking about trading you bastards!"

Suddenly, the phone in the office rang.

"Are there so many people who can't hold back?"

Louis was chanting, sitting on his desk and answering the phone.

"Hello."

"Which first-round pick swap do you want?"

"I know this is a difficult thing for you, so I don't want to make things difficult for you too much. Let's just give me the first round pick swap option in 1992, and we'll make a deal."

"Seven years later?"

"That's right, even seven years later, in 1992, I believe you will not be the general manager of supersonics. If we really get cheaper, we will not be able to pursue you."

"you"

"Leni, what are you hesitating?" Louis lay on his desk, pillowing his notebook, saying, "If you missed to be seventh last year or worse, give the Bostonian a lottery for nothing, will the top executives in Seattle let you go? The most important thing now is not 1988 or 1992, but how to avoid giving the Bostonian the first pick and second pick in the 1986 draft."

After a long struggle, Wilkens finally chose to drink poison to quench his thirst.

With a draft pick that only had the top three picks in the first round, and swapped with the distant first round of 1992, two garbage players were sent to New York in exchange for the instant combat power Louis Orr.

"That's it"

“Happy cooperation, Lenny.”

"I never want to call you again, Louis!"

"Don't Lenny, this is what you said. I think it's great to make a deal that is good for both of us!"

Amid Louis' joking, Wilkens hung up the phone.

Louis called Baylor again and told the other party about his achievements.

"Are he crazy? Can he agree to your condition?" Baylor shouted.

Louis said with a little regret: "After learning about Seattle's record, I think my asking price is still a little lower, but that's OK. Who made Lenny and I friends? It's nothing to suffer a loss. Contact them quickly and send the fax to the league so that they won't regret it."

Baylor asked with a funny look: "Didn't we suffer some losses? Why would they regret it?"

"Elkin, stop talking nonsense! Work quickly!"

"Okay OK!"

Louis walked out of the office again and called out Louis Orr.

"Come to my office."

After Orr arrived, Louis gave him his favorite Budweiser.

The polite greetings and various cares made Orr very uncomfortable.
