Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 578 The end of an era!

The Celtics' head coach, Monty announced his resignation. At the same time, the Celtics' two star players, Anthony Davis and Leonard, announced that they had submitted trade requests and would follow Monty in leaving.

Everyone is still looking for James, but no one knows where James is.

Many people want to know whether James knows that Amazing Monty has done such a thing for him, and what kind of response he will make after knowing it.

In fact, James didn't know all this.

James cut off his internet connection and replaced his cell phone with an old one that can only make and receive calls, but cannot access the internet or read the news.

He put on his backpack and took his team with him, just like Coach D last year, ready to travel across the United States, to high school courts, middle school courts, college courts, and even street courts.

He wants to travel all over the United States and see all the basketball he can. When he has traveled all over the United States, he will return to the NBA.

Before he traveled across the United States, he told Paul and the team that protected his safety not to talk about any news about him in front of him. He is now concentrating on immersing himself in the world of basketball and thinking about the philosophy of basketball.

So, the outside world was going crazy because of the Celtics' turmoil, but James, who set out again from Cleveland, didn't know any of this.

In Charlotte, Du Kang felt quite regretful after learning that Magical Monty had resigned.

Wonderful Monty is his lifelong enemy, this enemy is very powerful and very respectable.

It is incredible that he can do this for James when James is in such an adverse situation.

Even if you don't like the choice made by Amazing Monty, you have to respect his nobility.

So, after Danny Ainge announced the amnesty of James and Magic Monty announced his resignation, half of the Celtics fan base quickly split off and accused Danny Ainge of being crazy. It doesn't matter whether James lives or dies, but can you make a head coach like Magic Monty resign?
Since the amazing Monty wants the team to keep James, then keep him. Could it be that the Celtics, with such a big business, can't afford to support a useless person?
James' contract only has a few years left, so why not just not renew it when it expires?

Why pardon James and drive away the magical Monty?
My goodness, the angry rebuke from these Celtics fans stunned the Celtics management and the onlookers all over the world.

You've said everything, good or bad, positive or negative, and no matter how you look at it, Danny Ainge thinks everything he does is wrong.

Then something interesting happened.

After half of the Celtics fans revolted over the departure of Amazing Monty, Danny Ainge announced his resignation as general manager of the Celtics.

Brad Stevens, the Celtics' deputy general manager and assistant coach, became the team's general manager and acting head coach.

Wow, this was really amazing. The Celtics' performance really stunned all the spectators.

After an Eastern Conference Finals, the team's star player ran away, the team's head coach ran away, and the team's general manager also ran away.

Such an incredible and magical thing has never happened in the history of the NBA.

The Celtics fans who were pointing fingers after the Eastern Conference Finals were also confused.

The once-mighty Celtics are rebuilding again!
Stevens was the head coach during the team's rebuilding period. With the arrival of Monty Williams, he became the deputy general manager and assistant coach.

Now that Stevens is in power again, doesn't it mean reconstruction?

The Lakers, our arch-rival, were at their peak, but now we have to rebuild again within a few years of our rise. This sense of disparity is really hard to accept.

If we had known that the Eastern Conference Finals would end, we would not have attacked James and beaten him when he was down.

Who knew that this waste James holds such a high position in the heart of magical Monty!

Danny Ainge lost the magical Monty, so it was only natural for him to resign and take responsibility.

In fact, many Celtics fans have always wanted Danny Ainge to step down, especially some fans of Pierce and Garnett. But when Danny Ainge really resigned, these Celtics fans became reluctant to let him go.

It is difficult to say what Danny Ainge's merits and demerits were with the Celtics. Some of Danny Ainge's inhumane actions with the Celtics did damage the Celtics' reputation, but Danny Ainge's love for the Celtics is indeed real.

After the Cardinal left, the Celtics have been in chaos. In fact, it was Danny Ainge who ended the Celtics' chaos.

No matter what, when Danny Ainge leaves now, he has left a stable foundation for the Celtics. The Celtics are no longer divided into outsiders and veterans.

Twenty years ago, it would have been impossible for Stevens to become the head coach of the Celtics.

The reason why the Cardinal invited Rick Pitino, a famous NCAA coach from Boston, to coach the Celtics was to end the power struggle among the Celtics' legends.

At that time, Pitino was one of the most popular head coaches in the NCAA. At the same time, Tim Duncan was in the draft that year. The Celtics invited Pitino before the draft lottery in May, and the purpose was of course obvious.

It is to end the past era of the Celtics. The Cardinal wants to end his own era and hand over the Celtics to the new era. He will leave with the old celebrities and leave without leaving any voices. He will let the Celtics get rid of all the burdens and create the second Cardinal-Russell era with Pitino-Duncan as the core.

So when Pitino made his debut at the TD Garden, it was said at the time: "The Garden was like a coronation ceremony."

The cardinal personally put the crown on Pitino's head, sending him on his way and into office.

"For me, I just had a season with only 15 wins. I was very excited when I heard the news. I felt that Coach Pitino was coming and he would definitely lead the team on the right track and make us better. So everyone was excited. I was really ecstatic to play for my college coach again. We had achieved success together and won the national championship. I still remember the excitement. But what was even more exciting was that we had the opportunity to select Tim Duncan."

This is the voice of Celtics star Antoine Walker. The young players of the Celtics have long been tired of those celebrities. No matter how great you are, your era has passed. Now is a new era. Even Larry Bird is tired of you and doesn't want to pay attention to you. Who are you still pointing fingers here?

Then, David Stern brought hell to the Celtics, turning the Cardinal's plan into a joke.

The Celtics, who had two high lottery picks, ended up drawing the third and sixth picks. Even if they packaged these two picks, they couldn't get Duncan's No. 1 pick.

This also became the fuse for Pitino and the Cardinal to part ways.

Pitino felt that the Cardinal had gone too far and made a big mistake in this matter. The Cardinal believed that he would definitely select Tim Duncan, but in fact, the Cardinal never considered David Stern's feelings. He was so crazy about tanking, who else would he target if not you? I came to Boston because you said that your Celtics would definitely get Duncan. Now Duncan is gone. How are you going to compensate me?

Before Pitino coached a Celtics game, he felt disappointed and broke up with the Cardinal.

In order to invite Pitino, the Cardinal promised Duncan and the position of godfather of the team. He gave up his position as team president to Pitino and became a vice chairman in name only.

The Cardinal's position in the Celtics is so polite, which is already a big concession. Now that David Stern is causing trouble, Pitino actually blames the Cardinal for not licking David Stern.

How could the Celtics legends, who knew about the feud between the Celtics and David Stern, stand this?
Then, the Celtics entered the three most chaotic, turbulent and infighting years in the team's history.

The Celtics legends were unwilling to lose control of the team, so they used the name of the Cardinal to target Pitino.

It wasn't until 2000, when Pitino left and Danny Ainge returned, that the Celtics ended their turmoil of changing 17 head coaches in 12 years.

After coming back, he avenged the Cardinal in 2007 and led David Stern's favored son James astray, making David Stern so disgusted that he wanted to tear Danny Ainge apart with his bare hands.

However, for Danny Ainge, it doesn't matter if he is torn apart by David Stern, as he can avenge the Cardinal. Originally, everything was going well. David Stern's beloved basketball would be completely ruined by him, and the NBA would be completely ruined by him, but unexpectedly, Coach D turned out to save David Stern and NBA basketball.

This is what caused Danny Ainge to fail.

However, although they failed, Danny Ainge still invited the magical Monty, practicing the cardinal's philosophy, that is, the older generation of Celtics legends must all withdraw from the team.

We are the Celtics' past. The Celtics should not be silent about the past but look to the future. The Celtics cannot have a famous head coach or a famous general manager in the future.

Danny Ainge did just that.

Stevens was brought in, and then there was the amazing Monty.

Now even though Magical Monty has left, even though he has left, Stevens is still here.

The Celtics have now completely bid farewell to the past, and he has also completely buried the Celtics' past legends.

The Celtics have also completely moved towards a new future.

No one knows what the future will be like, but at least, there will not be the chaos and disorder of the past.

So, when Danny Ainge left, he was smiling.

Although he did not completely avenge the cardinal, he did complete the task entrusted to him by the cardinal.

If Pierce and Garnett are not traded, given their personalities, the Celtics will have to go through the situation of being ruled by famous veterans again in the future.

The Celtics' legends have never been as content as the Lakers' legends, and this is also determined by the team's character.

In this case, why not use Pierce and Garnett to exchange for such good chips and clear obstacles for the Celtics in the next era?
I heard that some emperors in ancient China liked to kill the mother of the next emperor when they passed on the throne.

He has now paved all the way for Stevens.

Originally, this was paved for Amazing Monty.

"After I leave, I will not ask about anything about the team, and you don't have to ask me. If you really encounter a problem, you can discuss it among yourselves. I believe in your wisdom. You are the people I hired, and I believe in you, just as I believe in myself. So, you must also believe in yourselves. The Celtics now need to enter a new era. The new Celtics will no longer be suppressed by the NBA. Your future depends entirely on your abilities. I know you are under a lot of pressure, after all, your opponents are incomparably strong, but you have plenty of time. Don't worry. Coach D can create a legend, and you can also create your own legend."

Stevens looked at the smile on Danny Ainge's face and felt a little sad.

For many Celtics fans, Danny Ainge is a complicated existence, but for his team, Danny Ainge is definitely the best existence.

There are many grudges and troublemakers in wealthy families.

And none of the Celtics that Danny Ainge left for him are bad guys.

All the bad guys and troublemakers were sent away by him.

Pierce, Garnett, Rondo, Perkins...

These Celtics' famous troublemakers are now unable to influence his decision-making in the team.

"Danny, I will work hard. Maybe my ability is not enough to meet your expectations, but I will do my best to make the Celtics top the NBA again. Five years is not enough, ten years is not enough, ten years is not enough, then twenty years will do!"

Danny Ainge smiled and nodded, then patted Stevens' shoulder with satisfaction.

"Just work hard. Working hard will bring you good luck and good results, and you will have a clear conscience."

Danny Ainge left in style.

But when I really left, I couldn't help but shed tears.

Looking back, it seemed as if there was a kind old man at the door of the building behind him, holding a cigar, smiling, and looking at him with satisfaction.

"I really tried hard and did my best."

Danny Ainge smiled and said to the old man in the distance, waved his hand, turned and left, without any more loss or reluctance in his heart.

Yes.

I am also the past that needs to be cleared in your mouth.

Now, I will clean myself up and have completely completed the task you assigned to me.

Larry, you're in the way of the team, I'm going to clean you up.

I blocked the team myself, and I would clear myself without hesitation.

I'm sorry for you, but I never missed you.

The bishop can't bear to be cruel, but I can!

This is also why the coach chose me, because only I can have such a cruel heart, because only my love for the team exceeds everything!
"Larry, what are you thinking about?"

"He's not a good person."

"Ok?"

"But, he's a good general manager."

He buried the Celtic era and legend with his own hands.

He personally planted the seeds of the Celtics' new life and future.

Still hate you.

But I respect you too.

The bishop made the right choice.

"If you have the ability, who would want to be in so much pain? Who wouldn't want to learn from Coach D?"

"An era has ended."
