Chapter 750 The Legend's Departure 【Subscription】
This year, Boston did not hold their sixth consecutive championship parade, and the whole city was in little mood to celebrate the team's sixth championship.
There was no joy, no celebration, instead the whole city was shrouded in a deep sadness.
The team's number one achievement, the true soul of the team, the founder of several dynasties, the league's number one coach, president and most cunning businessman, 'Cardinal' Auerbach has passed away.
In fact, in terms of age, Auerbach, who was 87 years old, left peacefully with a smile in his sleep, which is definitely a happy death.
But the departure of such a respectable old man made everyone sad.
Not only Boston, basketball fans and NBA insiders all over the United States sent sad greetings to Boston, and joined the people of Boston in mourning Alba 990 Hz.
At Auerbach's funeral, Lin Long stood quietly at the end alone, leaning on a tree, he did not cry or make any speech, but remained silent throughout the whole process, staring at Auerbach lightly. Erbach's coffin, slowly buried in the ground.
No matter how brilliant it is, it's still a handful of loess in the end, isn't it?
Lin Long sighed, put on his sunglasses, turned around and left the funeral scene.
He worries that his emotions will collapse.
Throughout July, Boston was shrouded in silence and sorrow, and the team's affairs were temporarily shelved.
Bird once wanted to take over from Auerbach and continue to build the team, but the owner of the Celtics, Grossbeck, was always on the sidelines, just not giving Bird a letter of approval. This directly makes the team's work completely impossible!
This also affects the team's signings, such as Gilbert Arenas has gone, the Celtics have no cap space to keep him, so he signed a fat contract with the Wizards.
The contracts of Payton and Rasheed have also expired, and they are quietly waiting for the team to make a new offer for them. Bird also promised them that he will do everything to make them get what they deserve! Hope they can wait a bit.
As members of the dynasty, the two agreed. They did not go to contact with other teams, nor did they go to the free market to find contracts. For Auerbach, they were willing to wait.
But what they waited for in the end was extremely bad news!
First, Larry Bird failed to become the team's new president.
On this day, Grossbeck first notified everyone and asked them to come to the training hall to gather. There were important personnel appointments to be announced. Just when everyone thought that Byrd would finally be rectified, they found out that Grossbeck was still with him. one person.
This is a young man, but his eyes are full of shrewdness, Grossbeck introduced to everyone: "He is our new president, welcome our new president, Mr. Danny Ainge! Then you will be Work together, let's get to know each other (dbdd), you can only cooperate well if you have a good relationship!
Looking at the smiling Grosbeek, Lin Long said with a gloomy face: "Sir, why not let the coach become the general manager? He has learned a lot from Auerbach! He must be competent! And we are more familiar."
"Lin, you just need to play well, just leave the business to our professionals, don't interfere, just trust me, just like I'll never end up playing! Because I know I'm not as good as you, and so are you. , As for Larry, he is really a very good player and a top coach, so I think it is the most suitable for Larry to continue to be a coach!
After he finished speaking, Grossbeck was obviously impatient, and waved his hand directly, saying that you should have a good talk, and then left.
The Celtics' players, coaching staff, team doctors and other dozens of members are still a little hard to accept what is in front of them. They have long regarded Bird as their natural successor. They never thought that Auerbach had just left. Go, Byrd was actually stripped of all his powers.
Danny Ainge was very polite, he said with a smile: "Everyone, let's work hard together and continue our dynasty and victory! Let's work together!
Angie's blood boiled, but the people on the scene did not respond at all.
Indifference and rejection were written on everyone's face, and there was not even a perfunctory applause.
After a while of embarrassment, it was Bird who carried forward the old comrade's overall view, took the lead and slapped a few times:
"Welcome to President Danny! Okay, everyone, let's go to training, and I will talk to President Danny about the next goals. 35
Seeing Bird taking the lead in applauding and welcoming, everyone finally put aside their hostility a little. After applauding perfunctorily, they dispersed. Now is the off-season. Everyone is here because they think they can participate in Bird. The inauguration ceremony is not for training.
Now that a person was suddenly airborne, everyone lost their interest in having a dinner together, and soon dispersed.
When there were only Bird and Angie left in the arena, Angie smiled and said, "How about going to my office to talk about the future of the team?
