Chapter 164 New York Rumors
One of the problems Louie faced on Thanksgiving was how to invite Lorraine to his home for the holiday.
Because Li Xuanbing obviously doesn't like Lorraine, although she hides it very well in front of Lorraine, as long as Lorraine is not there, she will use various methods to express her dislike of this relationship.
In the end, Louis formally invited Lorraine to his home for Thanksgiving.
Italy also has Thanksgiving, but it's not as formal as Americans.
In some big cities, some Italians will celebrate Thanksgiving, but Lorraine's hometown is a small city, and there are basically no foreign festivals, just like people in China's fourth- and fifth-tier cities never care about Christmas.
The Louis family's way of celebrating the festival is different from that of American families who eat turkey.
They prepared a sumptuous dinner in the way of Chinese festivals.
Steamed fish, roast duck, dumplings, various dishes, typical Chinese family holiday meal.
"Aren't you going to help in the kitchen?" Lorraine asked.
"My mother thinks that my appearance in the kitchen is a question of her cooking skills." Louis said helplessly, "so I can only be here."
Lorraine smiled and said, "My mother is the same. She worries that I'll catch a cold when I don't wear enough clothes. She worries that I'm not injured when my feet slip. As long as I arrive home one minute late, she worries that I'm lost."
Louis understood why Lorraine's mother had these worries.
If he had such a beautiful daughter, he would be worried too.
"It's okay. When I was young, I could only play trick-or-treating within a 50-meter radius of my house during Halloween. My mother would bring a stick and force me back to the 'safe zone' when I was out of this distance." Thinking of Louis Benyi's childhood, Louis was very emotional.
Lorraine didn't expect the usually amiable Li Xuanbing to be so violent.
"not like"
"In the future you will see her true colors."
Louis has been vaccinated in advance, lest Lorraine's good impression of her be disillusioned when Li Xuanbing's small universe explodes in the future.
In the evening, there were only three people at the table.
"Shall we pray?" Lorraine didn't have Thanksgiving.
Li Xuanbing smirked and said, "It seems that no one in our family believes in religion?"
"Thanks to the Europeans who set foot on this land hundreds of years ago, and thanks to the kindness of the Indians." Louis laughed, "But I guess they won't thank the Europeans for throwing over the Bible."
Lorraine, who knew nothing about this period of history, asked, "Why?"
"How many times have I told you, don't mention this kind of thing again!" Li Xuanbing said disgustedly, "I said why you are causing trouble outside all day long, and even beat the referee. You really learned badly in the NBA!"
Louis said wrongly: "You really should watch the video, but I was chased for tens of meters before I was forced to fight back."
"It's true, I can testify!" Lorraine naively thought that Li Xuanbing really cared about how Louis clashed with the referee, "If Louis didn't punch, he would be the one who went to the hospital."
After Thanksgiving, Louis and Lorraine had no other plans.
Louis sent Lorraine back to the apartment and told Li Xuanbing not to go home to sleep.
"Pay attention to safety measures." Li Xuanbing reminded.
Louie's head got bigger when he heard it: "Mom, if I didn't realize this, you can hold a grandson in one hand now."
"That's not bad, give birth to my grandson quickly, and then I won't care about you anymore!" Li Xuanbing's eyes lit up.
Does this mean that the big toy is no longer fun and replaced with a smaller toy?
Louis spent a night of ecstasy in Lorraine's apartment, and he had nothing to dissatisfy.Lorraine fulfilled all his fantasies about women, which is an important reason why he is not dusty when he goes out.
Sometimes, Louis mentally wants to cheat, but when he sees those who might cheat him, and compares it with Lorraine, he will despise himself.
With an SS-level girlfriend at home, how could he be easily seduced by the flirtatious jean outside?Then he is no longer a dog?
After Thanksgiving, an article from the New York Post began to ferment in Boston.
The content of the article is about the trade rumors between the Celtics and the Suns.
The player the Celtics got involved in was Maxwell, and the Suns were willing to send any player to get him.
This is beyond the expectations of many media.
Because Maxwell was not worth such a big price in their impression, how could the Suns be willing to let anyone in the team replace him, but Louis refused?
Louie rejected the Sun's offer of "willing to trade anyone", which is outrageous.
Because even if he wanted to refuse, it was Auerbach who refused, so what happened to Louis?
Even if Louis had the power to make decisions, how could he refuse such an attractive offer?
Maxwell's dissatisfaction with the sixth man position is well known.
The influence of this news quickly spread to the Celtics, and Maxwell got the nickname "a man who is worth more than the Suns."
Maxwell had talked to Louie about it.
But Louis didn't give him a chance, and dismissed him with the tone of "next time".
On November 11, the first day after Thanksgiving, the Celtics season restarted against the Atlanta Hawks.
This is a struggling team and one that has been indirectly affected by the butterfly effect triggered by Louie.
Because the Pistons gave an extra first round that year, they got the No. 1982 pick in [-]; because they got the No. [-] pick but chose Worthy, the Lakers could only choose Wilkins;
Although they wanted to strengthen the flanks, both Worthy and Wilkins were selected, and they could only choose Terry Cummings, one of the three heroes of the same class.
Cummings has the prospect of an All-Star, but it is basically impossible to go further.
The eagle can't get up and down, which is very embarrassing.
Many teams failed in order to get a share of the talent-filled 1984 draft, while the Hawks were lost.
The Celtics blew them away, spitting out their pre-Thanksgiving loss to the Knicks.
They started a three-game winning streak and entered December.
In the first game in December, the Celtics once again attracted a lot of attention, because their opponent was the 12ers who staged a battle with them not long ago that can be loaded into the future ESPN classic channel.
The two teams meet again, and observers naturally hope to see the 76ers play in a better state.
Some people still think that the 76ers' embarrassing loss to the Celtics by 38 points is because they are not in good shape.
As a result, the two teams met again, and the 76ers lost again with 26 points. If Louis hadn't talked about martial arts in the fourth quarter and replaced the main force to rest, it would not be impossible to win the 76ers by 38 points.
"Perhaps, the era when the 76ers and the Celtics competed in the Eastern Conference has really passed."
"The 1983 championship took away the ambition of the Sixers, and they couldn't move forward."
"Is Bill Fitch incompetent, or is the Celtics aware of their shame and courage?"
"Why does no one believe that this is the change brought about by Little Lu?"
All kinds of remarks and endless evaluations swept over from all directions.
Instead, Louis answered most of the rumors about Maxwell's trade.
The media repeatedly asked, and he repeatedly answered.
He denied the existence of the trade, just as the Suns did not admit that they had any communication with the Celtics.
Both sides insisted that the deal did not exist.
It's just that Louis would deny it to the media, while admitting to Maxwell that he had talked with the Suns. However, even if the Suns were willing to exchange Larry Nance + two first rounds for him, he would not agree.
"Why?" Maxwell asked.
Louie wanted to flatter Maxwell, but he didn't want him to notice that he was flattering, so he had to use this oblique method to please the other party: "Because I don't want to use a champion player who has proven himself in the playoffs to exchange for the brush of a weak team."
If Auerbach, who prevented Louis from exchanging a champion player who had proven himself in the playoffs for a weaker team, saw this scene, he would stab Louis to death with a cigar first, and then explain to Maxwell why he did this.
He believed that Maxwell, who had learned the truth, would do the same.
December 12th, the second game of the new moon.
Louis took the team to Portland.
The Blazers have not had a bad record, and Louie remembers them having the No. 1984 pick in [-] and making one of the most famous wrong picks in draft history as a result.
It's impossible to get this pick based on their record, so there must be a team that made a stupid trade a few years ago.
They didn't expect to lose in a few years, so they sent future draft picks.
Perhaps this is the reason why Auerbach is unwilling to trade the first round. He doesn't want his team to work for others one day.
While his concerns are valid, it is still wrong to worry about something that will never happen and miss the opportunity to make the team have no dead ends.
Now things have turned around.Louis was also prepared to use this unsuccessful deal to gain control of Maxwell.
Memorial Coliseum
The home court of the Trail Blazers, before Louie became a coach, he came here many times for scouting.
He is too familiar with this place.
The Blazers were his early observation case. It took only one year for this team to collapse from a perfect team, and the reason for their collapse is classic.Injuries, misdiagnosis by the team doctor, the second master's desire for a big contract was not satisfied, the champion defender played skin color politics in the team, white players seemed to get more care while black players were always treated harshly.
They managed to build a flawless team and make every possible mistake in one short year.
When Louie walked up to the coach he admired, Jack Ramsey, he said slightly docilely: "Let's play a good game."
Ramsay found that Louis did not have the rumored publicity.
"Of course."
He only replied this sentence, then turned around and returned to his team members to make pre-match arrangements.
