The Whip of the God of Basketball

When leaving Staples Arena, Leon could feel an aura of confidence and stability permeating the entire team. Unless the two teams can meet in the finals in June, they will never be here again this season. Fortunately, they leave with a victory.

There was no thrilling buzzer beater, no suffocating key ball. When Kevin Garnett returned to the court at the last moment, the Celtics, who had returned to normal, used tough and steady defense to push the Lakers into the abyss of defeat. .

In front of more than 20,000 Los Angeles fans and celebrities from the entertainment, sports and even political circles, the Boston Celtics defeated the Los Angeles people with absolute strength. Except for the unexpected conflict in the third quarter, the entire game was uneventful. The Celtics led from the beginning to the end without giving the Lakers a single chance.

This kind of power is heart-stopping. Even Leon himself feels that the Celtics he formed are as strong as they showed in this game? If they can really perform like this in every game, then he, the coach, can go home and watch TV after class, and the Celtics will not lose any game.

On the plane flying out of Los Angeles, Leon closed his eyes and recalled the entire process of the game. Tonight, he played more of a spectator and human video recorder than a head coach.

Under tremendous pressure and motivation, the Celtics players almost reached most of their potential. From the beginning of the game, they played based on the situation on the court instead of following the score. Reasonable tactical deployment, smart offensive choices, and unhesitating and fierce defense. This is the best Celtics in two months.

The biggest significance of this game for Leon is not that he defeated the Lakers again, or that the Celtics climbed to the top of the league, but that he saw clearly the characteristics of the current Celtics, their direction and future. In the past, he used his own methods to gather the best players he could get and the players most suitable for him to Boston, and created new tactics and training methods for them. Now he already knows what he wants to mold them into. .

Many players on the plane have fallen asleep. They have to rush back to Boston overnight. They will face the Atlanta Hawks at home the day after tomorrow, and then they will start preparing for the Christmas game to usher in last year's finals opponent, the Spurs.

When they arrived in Boston, it was already noon Eastern Time. The team's away trip finally ended, and they returned to their hometown with a undefeated record. Leon started her away trip with Khomeinis, but now she is staying in Los Angeles, preparing to launch in-depth cooperation with CAA.

After Leon reported to the police station, he returned home and took a half-day vacation. He was ready to completely relax himself and give himself a complete rest physically and mentally at home. Then in the evening, we went out to have a meal with a few assistant coaches. Together we made some summaries of the team's completed one-third season and made plans for the following schedule.

It was a wonderful time planned, but this good time only lasted for two hours. Leon, who was sleeping in bed, was awakened by the ringing sound of the phone. He drowsily picked up the receiver, thinking it was Huo Huo. Menice, who knew that Danny Angie's voice came from.

"Fox, come to the police station, something happened."

……………………

Leon thought there was another problem with his lawsuit and was still a little nervous. When he arrived at the police station, he discovered that it was not him but someone else who had the trouble.

He met Angie at the police station, and Chris Anderson, who had been arrested by the police during a raid for smoking marijuana in a bar. Now Anderson had been arrested by the Boston police on drug possession charges.

In the money circle of the NBA, there are a few things that will never disappear, alcohol, gambling, women and drugs. Regarding alcohol and gambling, Leon still controls it quite well. With him as the gambling god of Massachusetts, Celtic Almost no one dares to bet.

When it comes to women, Leon turns a blind eye. From young to old, few men can resist the temptation of beauty, especially young NBA players who are wealthy and powerful. How can they control it? At most, Leon increases the amount of training during daily training so that some people have no energy to do other things. But if there is a holiday or after a competition in a different place, unless he leaves that night, then guys who are energetic and not short of money will have to come. A shot to add to the fun.

Generally speaking, since the departure of players like Antoine Walker and Kenny Anderson, the Celtics have been relatively healthy and orderly. Not to mention Christians like Reid, even Ali Because Nas trained too hard, he was often unable to do what he expected. He rushed home early to go to bed every day.

The biggest exception is Chris Anderson.

When Leon saw Anderson at the police station, he was taking photos there with arrogance and nonchalance and leaving his file in the police station.

The moment he saw Leon, the disdain in Anderson's eyes disappeared. He lowered his head slightly and licked his lips with his tongue, looking a little embarrassed.

"Reporters should have gotten the news by now for concealing marijuana. I informed you as soon as possible. I asked the police station. He may be sentenced to voluntary labor and the league will also ban him." Danny Ainge saw Lay Come on, feel a little more at ease. Because he knew that as long as Leon came, he could deal with Anderson.

In the last game against the Lakers, Anderson also performed well. During the third and fourth quarters when Kevin Garnett left the game due to a heavy blow to the brain, he made up for it very well. Garnett's vacancy and taught Malone some lessons.

After returning to Boston, he immediately caused some trouble for the team. Leon was also a little angry. Originally, he thought that this Celtics was finally moving towards the realm of success, and he no longer needed to continue to create things like last year. Use negative news to put pressure on players and use a tense, scary external environment to unite the team.

He thought that the Celtics could start to become stronger from the bottom of their hearts. As a result, Anderson's move would undoubtedly push the Celtics to the forefront again. He could foresee that the major headlines of the NBA media tomorrow would finish reporting on Malone. Iron Elbow is about to start reporting on Anderson's drug possession incident, and by the way, review all the negative news about the Celtics in the past year or two.

Leon clenched his fists to hold back the anger in his heart, and walked up to Anderson who had taken the photo. At this time, Anderson spoke first. He said: "It's not illegal in Colorado..."

Indeed, Denver, where Anderson stayed before, is located in Colorado, one of the few states in the United States where marijuana is legal. Although he did not stay there for a long time, it was in Denver that Anderson fell in love with marijuana.

"Then do you want me to send you back to Denver?" Leon gritted his teeth and said to Anderson, with an anger in his heart that hated iron.

Anderson's appearance has changed a lot compared to when he was traded from Denver a few years ago. In the past, he had long blond hair, wore a bohemian headband, and was fair and clean like a high school student.

Now his long hair has become short, but the beard on his mouth is slowly growing. His body is no longer fair, and there are more and more tattoos every year. This is what he learned from his master Dennis Rodman.

Although his behavior is far from bizarre, Anderson's status in the team has been relatively marginalized since Kevin Garnett arrived in Boston. Garnett is at his peak and has excellent physical strength, and Brown is also known as an iron man. With these two guys around, Anderson's playing time has been greatly reduced.

Yesterday, he had to wait for Garnett to be knocked unconscious by an elbow before he got a lot of playing time.

It was precisely because of this that Anderson's love for marijuana from his days in Denver reappeared in his life. After coming to the Celtics, Anderson stayed away from these things and got more from basketball. But now, he feels that what basketball has given him is not enough.

Hearing Leon say such words, Anderson shut his mouth obediently. He knew that Leon was really angry.

"Sorry..." Anderson said.
