The Whip of the God of Basketball

The work of persuading Siegfried was finally completed successfully. Leon received Siegfried’s promise that he will report to the team before the opening of the Celtics training camp, and he will complete it before then. I handed over my original job, and I still need to spend some time to relearn things related to basketball. ←Vertex Novel, x.

Siegfried is just a small part of Leon's summer plan. He is determined to build a strong, united and practical coaching team for the Celtics. In the past two decades, with the increasing complexity of basketball, the head coach can no longer do the same as in the 1960s. Many detailed problems need to be solved by the team and assistants. An excellent support team can even be considered decisive for the success or failure of a coach.

Leon realized this when he was an assistant coach. He provided Carroll with a great help. Now he also needs a strong support team. Generally speaking, the assistant coaches of the NBA team will be stable at around two to three, usually two, one offensive and one defensive, but Leon decided to expand the size of his assistant team, increasing the number of reserved places to five.

There are five assistant coaches, one is in charge of offense, one is in charge of defense, one is the basic technical coach of ball players, one is in charge of players' physical fitness, and the last one is dedicated to teaching players shooting.

Siegfried is the shooting coach invited by Leon. The top shooter in the sixties has extensive experience in shooting training. Although he has not really engaged in basketball-related careers for nearly 30 years, he Erbach believes that this stubborn and aggressive old guy will do the best he can for the professor to shoot.

Regarding Auerbach's recommendation, Leon had some hesitations. After all, Siegfried's NBA era is a bit far away, and he did not work as a basketball coach after he retired.

But Siegfried’s work background in the correctional facility attracted Leon, especially his work experience in psychological counseling. Leon’s instinct told himself that a young man like the Celtics was full of vitality. And a team of quirky bad boys. Need such an assistant coach with special management experience.

Siegfried still has about two months to get ready to become a shooting coach, and Leon is heading towards his next goal. On the second day after persuading Siegfried, Leon and Morey left Mansfield, returned to Cleveland, stopped briefly, and bought a flight to Denver, Colorado. This time their goal is to recruit an excellent physical coach for the Celtics.

"Steve Hess, Denver Nuggets' physical coach, doesn't seem to be special. After working for the Nuggets for about three or four years, why should he be invited as a physical coach?" Darryl Morey There are always a lot of questions in front of Leon, of course this time is different from last time. At least he knows who Leon’s target is, and what he holds in his hand is this personal resume called Steve Hess.

The two arrived in Denver just after 8 o'clock in the mountain time. The sky in Denver was completely dark. This city sitting on the Colorado Plateau had a very clear night sky, and the bright moon hung beside the huge building in the center of CBD. Leon loves the city of Denver, the magnificent snow-capped mountains, the magnificent urban construction, and the warm and simple citizens. All made Leon feel that this is a city completely different from the Atlantic region. But tonight, he came here to take away one of them.

Without choosing to find accommodation first, Leon took Morey directly into a taxi and went straight to a fitness club called "Floza". This club is where Steve Hess works. When the two arrived here, the club had just finished a day of business and was about to close. The service staff at the front desk saw Leon and Morey walking in and kindly reminded them that the business hours were over.

"We are here to see Mr. Steve Hess. There are some important things to talk to him." Leon said to the lady.

"Mr. Hess is doing exercises inside. He will practice alone for more than an hour at the end of every day, and he doesn't like being disturbed by others. I think you have something important, or come back tomorrow..." The front desk pointed to the private training room inside. Leon and Morey said.

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow this club may not be open... I'll wait for him here." Leon could not help but sit on a sofa, and the lady at the front desk had no choice but to rush to Leon and Morey. After having two cups of coffee, I still mumbled: "We are open all year round..."

Maybe Hess heard what Leon said, and after a while, he came out of the training room.

Hess is not too tall, a little shorter than Leon, but he is very strong, with strong arms and a broad body like Colorado bison. He had a Mohigan hairstyle and a yellow tight-fitting tank top. He looked aggressive. Standing in front of Leon and Morey, Morey was a little frightened by this guy.

"You are Fox Leon! I know you, the Celtics' assistant coach, now the head coach. I don't know what wind brought you here. Do you want to work out here in the summer?" Hess recognized With Leon, he is also a member of the Denver Nuggets, and he is familiar with the coaches of each team.

"Hello, Hess. Thank you for the coffee in the club. My purpose of coming here is very simple. I invite you to Boston and be a physical fitness coach for the Celtics." Leon was as straightforward as ever, without a trace of sloppiness. To his own purpose. Morey looked a little worried on the side, and he was not used to Leon's super simple and rude negotiating style. Now he is afraid that Hess will violently violently and knock two people out of the club.

In fact, Morey doesn’t have to worry at all. Even if he fights, Hess, as a fitness and physical coach, cannot be Leon’s opponent. Moreover, Hess is not a fool, even though he shook his head and said "", But it can be seen that he still wants to hear Leon's conditions. After all, Hess came all the way from Boston, and Hess didn't believe that Leon would leave without reporting his price.

Leon took out a U.S. bank cash check from his briefcase, then took out a black carbon pen, a small seal box, spread the check, and wrote a number on it. He took out the seal from the seal box, stamped it seriously, and handed it to Hess.

Hess frowned. It seemed that he didn't like Leon's style very much. He didn't accept the check at all, and his face showed a disdainful expression.

Leon didn't have any expressions, he took the check back and put it on the table, took out another cash check, wrote the same number on it, and stamped it. This time he stacked the two checks and handed it to Hess.

Hess remained unmoved, but his expression of disdain disappeared, and he seemed to look forward to it, because Leon had already drawn out the third check. Morey on the side looked a little stunned. He didn't know where Leon got so many U.S. bank checks and brought his own personal seal. Each check has the signature of team owner Cross Parker.

When Leon took out the sixth check, Hess finally spread his hands, tilted his head and said: "Okay, okay, I still want to use words to discuss the conditions seriously, not one check after another, although the money Very important, but sincerity is equally important."

Leon did not take back the sixth check, but continued to fill it out, and then passed the previous five to Hess and said: "This is your salary for the new season, which is prepaid to your family. Buy a house that can settle down, you can continue to put your home in Denver, but you need to go to Boston to work. Every month the team will give you a vacation to come back here, if we have consecutive away games you will not You need to follow and you can choose to return to Denver. In fact, these are not important to us. The important thing is that you can come to work for the Celtics and have the best impact on our young people."

Hess accepted the six checks from Leon, but she still had some questions. The question was why he chose him and why he had to pay such a high price. After all, in the NBA, he is not a great trainer, and his reputation is not obvious.

Leon smiled and said: "Chris Anderson had a brief period in Denver. Later, when he talked about team training, he told me that the physical training he received in Denver was ten times better than in Boston. Then I noticed you, Mr. Steve Hess~www.readwn.com~ You know that I still have many friends in the league. You were born in South Africa, and you have loved fitness since you were young. You are in many countries in Africa and America is drifting, and finally you met your lover in Denver and got a good job. I think this is very good, great, I don’t want to disturb your good life, but you are indeed what we need People, you can also have a better development and greater reputation in the basketball world. I heard that when your lover married you, you only had three hundred dollars on you. Okay, now it’s time to give him back and let this Wouldn't it be good if the days come earlier?"

Hearing these words, Hess understood that it seemed that Leon had been eyeing him a long time ago, but he was not angry. It is not a bad thing to be paid attention to, because he gained recognition and got what he needed. .

Finally, Hess nodded, pulled a chair and sat next to Leon, and asked: "I think I should understand that in the new season, those things will be the focus of my work."

Leon packed everything up and put it in his briefcase, and said to Hess: "Run, so that they don't know the tiredness of running." (To be continued.)
