Mike Budenholzer becomes the Celtics' head coach for the new season.

For many people, this is an expected result.

At the same time, this is also Budenholzer's reasonable reward for following Louis for many years.

From the Lakers to the Chinese national team and then to Boston, Budenholzer followed Louis for nearly 20 years and finally took the top spot on the coaching staff.

Bird had doubts about Budenholzer being the head coach because Budenholzer usually showed poor adaptability and slowness during intra-team competitions.

Louis reassured Bird.

"Don't think too much. As the league becomes more and more professional, the responsibilities of the head coach will also change. Mike has problems like this, but looking at the league, how many coaches can you find who have no problems? We just need to find him

Just put a few assistant coaches around him who can help him solve problems."

Louis did not convince Bird.

Bird convinced himself.

If Laimbeer can lead the team to win the championship, why can't Budenholzer?

That's what he thought.

The Celtics fell into calm.

But the Celtics were calm, but other teams were not.

This summer, Michael Jordan sold his shares in the Hornets.

It was another victory for Benjamin Wilson over Jordan.

Over the years, Wilson and Jordan continued to struggle for power in the front office. As time went by, it turned out that Wilson was the one with more professional management qualities, and Jordan lost control of the team on the board of directors.

Jordan couldn't bear the humiliation and chose to quit.

Jordan, who is addicted to food, said he would seize every possible opportunity to return to the league.

"Sports Illustrated" commented harshly: "History has proven that MJ is a bad manager, so for the sake of a better tomorrow for professional basketball, he should give up any chance of returning to the league."

What's even more hurtful is the title of this article - "Teams close to MJ will be unlucky".

Due to the critical review of Pictorial, Jordan had already blacklisted this media for interviews.

Therefore, the pictorial also let itself go and never let go of any opportunity to black Jordan.

Wilson bought Jordan's shares and became the Hornets' second-largest shareholder.

There are rumors that the majority shareholder of the Hornets has little interest in owning an NBA team, so Wilson is likely to realize his wish and become the team's majority owner in the near future.

Unlike Wilson's smooth road to becoming a boss, Ewing's dream of being a boss after his retirement is currently in an incomplete state.

Is he the boss? Yes.

But he is just a small owner. He cannot compete with Louis and other shareholders in the Celtics, and he is not directly involved in team construction.

In the past few years, Ewing has looked away and given up his obsession with being a big boss. He has become a regular at lunch parties and has met many people through Louis's influence.

Although his career as an NBA boss has not gone smoothly, Ewing's career in the business has been smooth sailing, and his net worth has tripled since his retirement.

Ralph Sampson has quietly retired from Celtic's coaching staff.

Yao Yueban said: "Ralph is not only the greatest center of all time to me, but also the most important mentor in my life."

Sampson didn't say anything. He just felt that there was no point in continuing to serve as the team's interior coach. The Celtics had not selected an interior coach worth cultivating for more than ten years.

Someone asked him what he wanted to do after retirement.

Sampson laughed and said: "I may return to my hometown to do something for the community or attend some other activities. I will not just retire. I still want to do many things... Oh, by the way, the most important thing is

Yes, starting next week, I can freely attend Coach Lu’s lunch meeting.”

Yinthia Thomas took a long leave of absence from TNT to focus on writing her second autobiography.

The accusations of racism against Louis in Thomas's previous autobiography caused an uproar at the time, but in the end, the matter was quietly ignored.

In his last autobiography, he described his playing career in detail, while in his second autobiography, he will focus on his coaching and broadcasting careers.

If you want to attract someone's attention, you must definitely write Louis.

Moreover, Thomas believed that what Louis did to him would arouse the sympathy of many people.

Suddenly, Thomas heard that Laimbeer had left the coaching position.

He was a little surprised. If Laimbeer was fired before and his record was not good, but he won the championship this time, why didn't the Celtics renew his contract?

Louis again?

Another victim?

Thomas called Ranbir and wanted to know what happened, but Ranbir laughed and said, "You don't think Louis still wants to come back to this day, do you?"

"if not?"

"The NBA championship means nothing to him anymore. He has won 15 championships as a coach. He is already the greatest coach in history. Will continuing to win do anything to help his reputation?"

Thomas was wrong about Louis.

This isn’t Louis’ carefully choreographed Return of the King season 2.

Laimbeer could have continued to coach the Celtics for 10 years, but his body did not allow it. It was as simple as that.

Thomas was a little disappointed.

Then, Ranbir asked: "Are you free next week?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Let's go to a lunch party together? Let's get together with some old guys."

"Louis doesn't want to see me, right?"

"It's time for you to move on, Yin Saiya."

New Knicks general manager Alex Stevens has doubts about the team's future.

Injuries have struck Dwyane Wade, and after all, he is not as indestructible as LeBron James.

Love is good, but the inside line formed by him and Bosh is a disaster on the defensive end.

Hill has retired, McGrady is on the injured list. As an athlete, his end is approaching, and the Knicks' future has no direction, even though James Dolan promised fans that the team will return to the NBA championship within three years.

final, but the management had no confidence in it.

The glorious Knicks dynasty seems very far away for the Knicks.

The irony is that Stevens, as a meritorious veteran of that team, was unable to imitate that team in any way in building the team.

"Only when I sit in this position do I understand what a great job Coach Lu accomplished back then." Stevens sighed when calling Miller, "How did he do it? The more I see Coach Lu's performance back then.

The more amazing the operation was, every trade was correct, every draft hit talent, and his coaching was perfect... If he were here, he would never tolerate LeBron in such a critical game.

Got 8 points.”

Miller laughed: "Yes, he will wake up LeBron."

Later, Miller said: "If you really want to know, why don't you ask him yourself?"

"Call?"

"Such an important thing, a phone call? Of course it has to be face to face. You can come to the lunch meeting next week."

Stevens hung up the phone, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and for some reason, he remembered the time when he asked Louis not to lay off him in the office.

To this day, Stevens believes he didn't let Louie down, just like everyone else on that Knicks team.

Mohamed Abdul-Raouf walked quickly to the coach's office.

He is now the Knicks' shooting coach.

The team currently only gives him one task, which is to teach Jimmy Butler, the second-round pick selected the year before, how to shoot correctly.

This is the talent that General Manager Stevens values ​​most.

Stevens said Butler reminded him of himself.

Rauf thought that even if Butler became a player like Stevens, he would be "just" an important rotation member of a dynasty team.

But after contacting Butler, Rauf changed his view. He believed that Butler has a force that cannot be ignored and that one day he will amaze the entire league.

Rauf came to Rudy Tomjanovich's office and submitted his plan to reshape Butler's shooting motion.

"Mo," Rudy said, "did you see the construction team outside?"

Rauf nodded and said, "I saw it."

"The scale is larger than I imagined." Rudy said enviously, "Mr. Dolan seems to really want to build the most spectacular statue in the world for Louis."

Rauf quipped: "Even if he did this, the fans would still scold him."

"No, as long as Louis comes to say a few good words to him, or even give him some ideas, as long as he does it, Mr. Dolan will regain the love of the fans." Rudy shook his head and sighed, "That's it.

Guy’s magic.”

Rauf didn't like Dolan, but when he heard Louis' name, he felt a little touched in his heart, "Why does Coach Lu want to retire?"
