At the 1989 expansion draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves had the right to choose.

Small casinos everywhere have opened boring plates, and they believe that the Timberwolves' first choice is inevitable.

As a result, they played unexpectedly, and the first round choice was not the Knicks player.

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

Why is this? No one can understand. Although Marley and Sekali are of similar level, whoever comes to choose Sekali will choose Sekali for the first choice.

However, he just doesn't choose, he just plays.

Magic chose Sekali without hesitation.

Next, the Timberwolves' second choice was chosen by Dan Marley.

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 his words. If he was not sad, why would he hold the remote control tightly?

Look at the green tendons on his palm

"Dear, please let the remote control go." Lorraine smiled, "Do you want me to find a sandbag to vent your anger?"

"Forget it, I'm really okay."

This matter is not entirely true if it has a great impact on the Knicks:.

Marley has the potential of All-Stars in the future, and Sekali is probably between a quasi-All-Star and a strong one, but they are destined to have a long chance of playing in the Knicks.

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

The reason why he was unhappy was that things had lost control.

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

But as a result, the Timberwolves played an unexpected move. The first choice was neither Sekali nor Marley, so the agreement between the Magic and the Knicks was invalidated. Sekali was first chosen, and the Timberwolves then Marley.

Louis was sure that someone was making trouble behind him, and he was sure that this matter had something to do with Jerry Klaus.

Because it is completely reasonable to secretly deal with him with Klaus's grudges and his.

Of course, even though Louis was very sure, it was just suspicion.

He will verify through his own channels.

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

"Honey?"

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

Louis said that after watching the expansion draft, he gave himself a day off.

She didn't expect Louis to be immersed in his own world. She obviously called him several times but did not respond.

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

"It's really their loss to not invite you into the crew of Ghostbusters." Lorraine joked and said to Louis.

"It's a pity that I don't like Simmons Weaver (private gourney Weaver), otherwise I will definitely think about it seriously." Louis complained, "We don't play well every time that moldy woman comes to MSG to watch the game!"

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

"OK, no more defense." Louis smiled, "I'll recover."

After that, Louis accompanied Lorraine for one day, and the next day, he left New York.

After each season, the league holds a board meeting, also known as the annual meeting.

As long as it is not the year of the labor-management agreement negotiation, most of the participants are number one or number two of the management of each team.

As usual, if Auerbach was in Washington, Louis would visit him.

This year, Auerbach happened to be on vacation at his home in Washington, and he would attend the annual meeting with Jane Volker.

The 1988 Eastern Conference Finals caused a rift between Louis and many of the Celtics, but Auerbach did not break with Louis because of this.

He commented lightly on Louis' controversial actions in the Eastern Conference: "He knew he had to do that."

The one who entertained Louis was Auerbach's first wife Dorothy. They have been married for decades and their relationship has been stable.

"Reed often talks about you, and he says that if there are more young people like you, he will retire early." Dorothy joked, "You make him feel like an out-of-date star."

"Okay, okay!" Albach was anxious, "We still have work to discuss."

Dorothy whispered: "He's shy."

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

Auerbach came to Louis, and time flew by. The young man had been leaving Boston for five years.

When he left, Auerbach had a premonition that he would have a great achievement in New York.

But he did not expect that in just five years, he changed the league and ended the Celtic rule.

"What are you going to do this year?" Auerbach snorted coldly, "I heard you are very dishonest at the annual meeting."

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

"I think you are very good at speaking. Don't forget to speak later! Without your speech, the annual meeting will be incomplete." Auerbach secretly mocked.

After Jane Volker came, the two sides exchanged a few greetings and set off together.

In the car, Volk talked about the expansion draft.

"Lu, do you know why Minnesota gave up its first choice?" Volker asked.

Louis suddenly became interested: "Mr. Jane, please tell me about the friendship between our colleagues for seven years."

"You look at you, is it so big?" Auerbach really discovered that Louis didn't like it after leaving Boston.

Why didn't such a shameless person stay in Boston to pick up his shift?

"It is said that" Volcker is not sure, "Chicago and Minnesota reached an agreement."

Louis asked in confusion: "It is said?"

"Yes, whether it is true, we can see it again in a while." Volcker smiled. "If Minnesota and Chicago have subsequent deals, and Minnesota seems to be the benefit, you can continue to dig deeper."

Everyone has their own news website. Volk had been a deputy for Auerbach for ten years and his eyes were spread all over the league. It was difficult to hide any news from him.

But as he said, Louis still needs to confirm.

Timberwolves' general manager Billy McKinney and Jerry Klaus have personal relationships, which is certain that if Klaus uses their relationship to provoke discord and make a profit, things will make sense.

If Klaus had really gone around so much to disgust him, then Louis would recognize this.

You see, he is so crazy, isn’t it good to obey him once?

However, Louis reserves the right to retaliate.

Isn't it just disgusting?

Auerbach saw Louis's mouth bent upward and he sneered with an extremely disgusting sneer: "What are you doing with bad intentions?"

"Reid, you are too thoughtful. What bad intentions can I have? When you meet the general managers of each team later, you can ask, who doesn't know I am a loyal person?"

"I can go to yours!"

Someone said that those extraordinary stars can control the entire room.

Wherever the stars go, they will arouse cheers and onlookers. The appearance of leaders will make the location orderly and serious as if it is a state of war.

When Louis and Auerbach appeared together, the people in the board lobby stopped talking.

Most of them stood up and said hello to Alba.

Then there was Louis, whose prestige in the crowd was surprising.

Jerry West, Don Nelson, Frank Lyden, Lewis Shafire, Pat Williams, and even some general managers who had never been with him wanted to say a few words to him.

The performance of these people embarrassed Klaus and Harry Wiltman.

In the past, when attending the annual meeting, Louis would sit down directly next to Volker.

But this time, he actually walked to the "enemy".

"Jerry, I already know the good things you and Billy McKinney did." Louis smiled faintly, "At the same time, I hope you know that what I like the least is to be regarded as a fool. I think that person is you, because I understand why you do this, you have that motivation, and I also hope that person is you, no matter whether it is you or not, as long as I confirm my identity, please believe that I will definitely ‘return the gift’."

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

"Is that so? I'm really sorry, I misunderstood you, but I can't blame me." Louis sarcastically said, "It's very consistent with your style of eating bread crumbs even when it's time to eat bread crumbs."

Frank Lyden laughed loudly when he heard this, and everyone in the audience burst into laughter.

Klaus was so angry that he wanted to punch Louis, but at this moment, what could he do except laugh with anger?

"Will this make you feel better?" Volker smiled bitterly.

"To be honest, no one has ever made me feel so happy except my wife." Louis smiled, "I have to 'thank you' to 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 the frustrated face of seeing my enemy want to do it but can't get rid of me, and want to do it but have nowhere to do it. You don't think I have a good relationship with that fat pig, Mr. Jane?"

Volcker said: "Reed is right, you're like a stingy version of him."

"Come on, that old man will just gild himself."

Auerbach is still the most special one among the people present.

Only when he, Stern, would specifically call him elsewhere to briefly introduce today's agenda, and those agendas would be successfully unfolded with Auerbach's approval.

Otherwise, the old man would slam the table later and express his objection. The scene was a Bostonian person.

As long as those people encounter things that do not affect their team's interests, they will regard Auerbach's attitude as a weather vane.

It can be said that if Stern wants to do something, he must pass the Auerbach level, otherwise even if he passes, there will be great resistance.
