"What about the goal of coming to Boston and replacing me?"

Auerbach's voice landed like a silver needle, but he didn't have the ability to pierce people's hearts. Louie had to marvel at the old man's narcissism.

What kind of narcissistic do you have to be to have such an idea?

Today, how could he still regard replacing the other party as his goal?

In terms of historical status, Louis admits that he has not won as many championships as the opponent, but one thing is very important, that is, all his championships were won in the salary cap era.

If basketball before 24 seconds and after 24 seconds are two sports, then professional basketball with a salary cap and without a salary cap are also two games.

With a salary cap, you can't sign people and give contracts as you like, and you have to consider whether it is compliant no matter what operation you want to perform.

By his own admission, Auerbach doesn't understand the salary cap.

For the management, it is much more difficult to win the championship in the era of salary cap than in the era without salary cap, and it is much more difficult to form a dynasty team in the era of salary cap than in the past.

Auerbach had a dynasty in the salary cap era, but this dynasty was at least one-third of the credit for Louis.

And Louie had seven crowns and four crowns in the salary cap era.

In terms of honor, the only thing he is inferior to Auerbach is the number of championships. In terms of gold content, he may far exceed it.

Because this is just a comparison with and without a salary cap, and it has not yet compared the changes in the game and the difficulty of winning the championship.

Of course, Louis doesn't need to give himself gold by weakening the gold content of the people of the old era. Who is better has his own opinion, and he doesn't care.

Auerbach couldn't fix this sentence for him.

He intends to return to the Celtics, but if he returns because of this sentence, wouldn't it appear that he deliberately wants to replace Auerbach in Boston?

Is he that kind of person?

"Hey..." Louis said helplessly, "Reed, have you misunderstood me?"

Auerbach felt that he had read Louis' mind, "What misunderstanding can there be? Isn't that what you think all the time? Now that you have a chance, what do you want?"

What do I want to do? What do you want?

Louie found that the old man's invitation to join the luncheon was a mess from the beginning. Auerbach's goal is to get him back in Boston.

Otherwise, the old man was so full that he called someone with similar status to him to steal the limelight?

Louis looked at Gaston, "Paul, what do you think I should do?"

Gaston glanced at Auerbach, who nodded, suggesting that he could say whatever he wanted.

So Gaston said: "Coach Lu, with all due respect, Boston may be the most suitable next home for you." Louis said sarcastically: "No, you just won the No. 1 lottery, only the worst team will Draw it."

"Isn't this the best start?" Auerbach snorted, "There's a ready-made cornerstone of the team, and you don't even have to mess it up."

Auerbach is right that the Celtics are a good fit for those ambitious people who want to make a comeback.

This year's draft has an exciting center after Shaquille O'Neal, and the Celtics have the No. 1 pick. At the same time, they also have the Magic's first-round pick this year.

After O'Neal left the team, Webb started to play badly.

The Magic's record fell again and again and entered the lottery zone, giving the Celtics a sixth pick in vain.

Starting with the No. 1 pick and the No. 6 pick, this kind of opening is indeed a dream.

Gaston followed Auerbach's words and continued: "What Reid said is only one of the reasons, and there is another reason-only teams with a deep heritage like the Celtics, Lakers, and Knicks are worthy of having Legend Lu."

"In the past 16 years, you have reached the top in New York and Los Angeles, and Boston was more like a springboard for you before that. Now, times have changed, Boston is at the lowest point in history, and everyone expects a real ability to revitalize the ball. team leader

. "It's not going to be Reed, it's not going to be Isiah," Gaston said.

It was said that Auerbach was very unconvinced, but when he thought about his age and energy, what's the use of being unconvinced?

His life is as brilliant as a summer flower, but at this moment, it has also become an autumn leaf, and he can only sit in a Chinese restaurant in Washington's Chinatown and tell his friends stories of the past.

Gaston said solemnly: "In my opinion, the only one who can revitalize the Celtics is you, Coach Road."

In the past few months, Louis has seen Gaston's sincerity and believes that the other party's desire to revitalize the Celtics is true.

At the same time, Louie also knew that this person sold the Celtics a few years later. A smile gradually appeared on Louie's serious face.

"Well, what else can you offer me besides the two contracts I've already looked at?" It's time for the Lions to open their mouths.

Gaston has long been prepared, "In addition to those two contracts, we can also gift 3% of the team shares to you or your family."

3% of the shares are not much, and it is only a small amount of money for Louis now, but the point is to give away.

Louis said with a smile: "The number 3 is not good, I don't like it, so, in addition to the 3% stake, you sell me 13% of the Celtics."

As soon as these words came out, Auerbach's pupils trembled slightly. What does Louie want to do?

Could it be that he wants to buy an NBA team?

What does Louis not want to do, buy an NBA team? He didn't think so, and while he could afford it, he didn't think he had the energy or the will to own a team long-term.

This is to prepare an insurance for himself. In case the Gaston family really wants to sell the team in the future, he will also buy more shares from the other party.

He wants to make sure that he is the largest shareholder of the Celtics at that time. Only then can he decide everything.

As for whether to hold the shares of the Celtics for a long time, that is a matter for the future. "this..."

Gaston was stunned, he didn't expect Louis' appetite to be so big.

Sending Louis 3% of the shares is to show that the team regards him as a member of the big family. Louis is very good, he can be a family member, but he has to be a parent.

"This matter is beyond my authority, I must ask my father." Gaston said directly.

Louie smiled and said, "Please, I'll wait for your reply here. If you don't agree, then the door for me to return to Boston will be closed, and we don't have to continue talking about this matter."

"I will give you a satisfactory answer."

As soon as Gaston called, Auerbach asked, "Are you this rich now?"

Louis thought to himself, this old man probably doesn't really read the financial news, otherwise he should have heard about his investment.

Therefore, Louis smiled shyly: "It's a little money."

Auerbach said angrily: "I have a little money, but I can't afford to buy a team!" "I have no plans to buy a team."

"I don't plan to buy a football team. What do you do with so many shares?"

"The NBA is a gold market. Team shares are hard to come by. Since I have this opportunity, why don't I want it?"

The two had just chatted a few words, and Gaston walked over quickly, "Coach, we agreed to your request." "Is that agreed?" Auerbach was startled.

That's a full 16% of the shares! "Yes, my father agreed."

The sooner Gaston came back, the more Louie believed that father and son would sell the team before long.

"It's just that the other 13% shares... we will sell at the market price. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Gaston felt that this proposal might annoy Louis.

The Celtics are currently worth $360 million.

If the 13% stake is sold at this market price, that's $46.5 million. Little Gaston wanted to sell it at a lower price, but Old Gaston was very determined and sold it at the market price.

"I am already very grateful that you gave me 3% of the shares, not to mention that you are willing to sell so many of my shares, just at the market price.

fair enough. "

Louis' answer stunned Gaston Jr.

He always knew that Louie was the best manager of professional basketball in the world and the best coach in professional basketball, but he didn't expect him to be so rich.

It seems that Dad has long known that Coach Lu can afford it!

"Based on the market price, how much is 13% of the shares?"

It's been a long time since Reed Auerbach felt like a redneck.

Louie nearly choked on his answer: "Less than $50 million, little money."

"Cough cough cough...!!"

"Reed, are you okay?" "Okay, I'm okay..."

Since the other party was willing to sell the shares, the biggest stone in Louis' heart fell. He looked at Gaston friendly, "Let's talk business."
