The Whip of the God of Basketball

[Latest broadcast] Tomorrow is 515, the starting point anniversary, the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bags and school bags, this time the 515 red envelopes are going to be turned wildly. There is no reason to not grab the red envelopes. Set the alarm clock.

When the Celtics’ special plane arrived at Indianapolis International Airport, Scott Mackens’s song "San Francisco" resounded on the radio in the terminal. The melodious but somewhat vague singing echoed in the empty space. In the lobby, it is eleven o'clock in the evening. Due to continuous thunderstorms in the east, the plane from Boston to Indiana was delayed, causing the Celtics to arrive at their destination three hours later than planned.

"I hope this is San Francisco, and I can pass by the beach at night to see the night view. But here is the **** Indiana, I can't do anything, stay in the hotel to sleep and prepare for tomorrow's game... I don't know how long it will take to get to the hotel. ." After Paul Pierce got off the plane, he couldn't help complaining in the waiting hall. He was sitting on a chair in the hall, with his hands propped on his suitcase, and his chin resting on the suitcase rod. Pierce's neck has always been a little problematic, so he never forgets to stretch his neck.

Like Pierce, other Celtics players also felt listless. The three-day rest period made everyone not used to the days when they continued to fly around in the sky. What's more, this is Indiana. No one likes to play here.

Leon is asking about the vehicle with team manager Albert Wiggins. According to the arrangement, the bus for the Celtics players should have been waiting for them at the airport two hours ago, but so far, it has always been No car came to pick up their news. Because of the frequent away games in the NBA, every time you go to a city, you need to rent a local bus to pick up players. As for the team affairs of the team, you must be familiar with the phone number of every NBA City Motor Company. Wiggins is an experienced veteran team affairs. He is also familiar with Indiana and cannot be familiar with it. He had arranged it before the game. By the bus. But I didn't expect it to be the same as the plane, it was also delayed. "It may be because of the thunderstorm. Recently, the entire Mid-Eastern area was flashing and thundering. I tried to make a few more calls." Wiggins could only explain to Leon. Bus delays often occurred in the early days of the NBA, because communications were underdeveloped at that time and the NBA had no money. It was common for cars to be delayed or to break down on the road. Up to now, this kind of situation is less and less, but there are still some accidents.

Leon is patient, but he is worried that the players will be impatient. For the players who are about to meet the high-intensity competition, it is very important to take a hot bath and sleep well on the night of their arrival. Seeing Wiggins sweating on the phone, Leon felt that he couldn't solve the problem by relying on team affairs. He needed to think of something and make an alternative plan or something.

At this time Leon noticed that somewhere in the empty hall, a group of passengers who had just got off the plane had gathered. It looks like they should be people traveling to Indiana, because everyone wears blue hats. I really don't know which tour group it is. They traveled to Indiana in late February. When Leon approached, he discovered that most of the tour groups were elderly. He stepped forward and asked a person who looked like a tour guide and knew that this was an old farmer from New Hampshire who took the winter slack season to Indiana to participate in an agricultural product exchange meeting.

Their plane was also late, but the Indiana Agricultural Products Association's bus was already waiting at the airport. Leon found the leader of this group of farmers and had a serious exchange with him, finally at the cost of giving a signed photo of Paul Pierce. Won the opportunity to ride the bus of the Agricultural Products Association together-because the grandson of the person in charge is a fan of Paul Pierce.

At this time, the coach leased by the Celtics has not arrived yet, so Leon greeted the players to get on the coach of the Agricultural Products Association and squeeze the old people. Their car happened to pass by the hotel where the team stayed, and then Leon Then arrange for team clerk to wait at the airport for a while, waiting for the team's bus to arrive and check the luggage to the hotel.

Although somewhat reluctant, it is good to be able to leave the airport and go to the hotel earlier. After arriving at the hotel, it proved that Leon’s decision was correct, because the team’s bus was on the road due to a thunderstorm and windshield, which was damaged by a stone. , And finally arrived at the airport at midnight. When the bus arrived at the hotel, the players had already entered Mengxiang.

Of course Leon did not go to bed in advance, he waited until the team’s luggage and the rest of the people arrived at the hotel, and everyone was settled before going back to his room to sleep. On the way back to the room, assistant coach Dick Hart was with Leon. He said to Leon: "You never cared about the problem of team transportation and accommodation before, but you did a lot tonight. It looks good kid."

In Leon’s coaching staff, anyone can call him a kid except Hess. Leon doesn’t mind, and replied: “It’s nothing, maybe I should pay more attention to things other than basketball. A good general doesn’t You should always keep your eyes on the battlefield, and there should be a soldier's life."

Hart smiled and said: "Haha, Scarface has also learned to be the boss of caregivers... That's good. But being a'player coach' is not necessarily a good thing. Control your sense. You know, I used to work in Indiana. For Larry Bird, you are a bit like him. You have an on-the-spot style, trust everyone in the coaching staff, and let the players do what they can. The prestige among the players is very, very high. The reason is very simple, because he played NBA and he is still a superstar. You have to know how many NBA players grew up watching him play or were ravaged by him on the court. . But Fox, you don’t have anything... I’m sorry that I was a bit straightforward. I didn’t want to criticize you, but just remind you that I think it’s not easy for you to realize this. It’s good, but you have a lot to do.”

Among the current Celtics, Hart is the person who has taught Leon the most. Although Leon squeezed O'Brien to make Hart very dissatisfied, he also admired Leon very much. The two are cooperating with assistant coaches. At that time, Hart felt that Leon had great potential. After Leon became the head coach, he took over the role of Auerbach and became Leon's guide.

"Can I listen more? I'm not sleepy at all now." Leon, who had already opened the door, closed it again. He wanted to know more. After absorbing enough basketball knowledge, Leon found that to become a coach, just knowing basketball is not enough.

"Maybe you have put too much energy on basketball skills and tactics in the past few years, and overlooked a lot of corners and corners, then I will remind you. Do you know Jeff Van Gundy? Little bald, no great basketball career, and never played in the NBA, but he is very prestigious among players. You should know the incident between him and Mourning." Hart mentioned the former Knicks owner Coach Jeff Van Gundy, he retired at home in 2001.

"I know that when Mourning was fighting with Larry Johnson, Van Gundy was holding Mourning's thigh as a mop. Should I also fight to protect the players like him?" Leon still heard of Van Gundy's fame. of. When the Heat and the Knicks battled, Pat Riley trained two boxing teams almost from start to finish, and now Pj-Brown in the Celtics is the initiator of one of the fights.

"Of course you don’t need to do that~www.readwn.com~ Thank God for not knocking the opponent over with a punch. I was terrified to Mason last time... I know, in your opinion, this is a bit false , You are so smart and calm, but I want to say, what kind of little guys are playing in the nba? Growing up on the street, surrounded by a group of brothers and brothers, the gangsters are brothers, the loyalty of the rivers and lakes, of course the people who finally entered the nba They are far away from those things, but they will inevitably be affected. You go to talk to them about Kant, Schopenhauer or Russell, or calculus, mathematical statistics, they will understand? No, but if you support them, cover them, for them Talking and helping them everywhere, then they will do the same to you in reverse. The NBA world is very complicated and sometimes simple. Jeff Van Gundy is a student who has been admitted to Yale, but he knows how to get along with those players . And you? As far as I know you were born on the street, but now you are like a doctoral student, no player will truly become a partner with a doctorate, because they are at the highest level as an undergraduate! Not to mention there are high school students. "Dick Hart couldn't help lowering his voice as he spoke, for fear that someone would hear his words that are not suitable for everyone.

Leon nodded when he heard it, now thinking about it, Fox-Leon's past experience is not necessarily a bad thing.
