The Whip of the God of Basketball

At more than eight o'clock in the evening on June 27, the Washington National Rehabilitation Hospital was rarely crowded. It was not the patients who came here, but the media from Washington and other places, as well as the Celtics who came from all directions. ＞一≧Fiction <<

In Ward 13o1, the originally spacious room suddenly became crowded. Inside were all former basketball superstars over 2 meters tall—Bill Russell, who came from Louisiana, and flew from Boston. Bob Cousy, John Havrichek, Tom Heinthorne, Danny Ainge, Dave Cowens, Jojo White, Siegfried from New York, from Chicago Robert Parrish, as well as kc Jones and Dennis Johnson on the road, can be said that in addition to Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Don Nelson, the three current managers of other teams, Outside the coach, other famous players in Celtic history have either come or are on the road.

Auerbach wanted a dying emperor, at the last moment of his life, to gather together the heroes who had accompanied him to create immortal achievements and announce his will. But Auerbach didn’t say anything. He just chatted with Russell by the bed, asked Havlicek to pour himself a glass of water, asked White to open the window for air, and finally called Danny Angie to explain I reviewed the team’s trading decisions in the draft.

When it came to this matter, the whole ward was like a pan fried, and these old Celtics with green blood began to chat about it.

"I think Milicic is a good guy. Although he is still very young, he is very talented. What is more great than cultivating a great center himself? I don’t like this deal, at all. I don’t like it!” Tom Heinthorn said with his loud voice. Although he is not a high player among the Celtics’ older generations, he is just a Hall of Fame, not the top fifty, but he Has a high reputation in the Celtics, but also a close friend of Auerbach. So in front of Auerbach has always dared to speak.

In the dispute in this transaction, Tom Heinsohn is also a firm draft pick, believing that the Celtics should seize this opportunity to reinforce with rookies and achieve the same results they achieved when they chose Bird and won the championship. , Also won the future.

"And Garnett's salary this year is said to be 280,000 yuan. My God, if I knew that I could get so much money to play, I wouldn't retire." Havlicek handed the water to Auerbach, joking. , Everyone in the room laughed. Havlicek did not engage in basketball-related work after retiring. At the same time, he disappeared from the public eye for a while and lived an ordinary life.

Although Havlicek has no actual position in the Celtics, he still has a high prestige. At the same time, Heinsohn was his coach when he was in the Celtics. The two worked together in the 1970s. The Celtics added two championship trophies, so they have a deep friendship between mentor and apprentice. In terms of position, Havlicek must support Heinthorne.

The two big men bluntly criticized Anji’s deal, and Anji had a hard time not saying anything. To be fair, Angie agreed with the deal 10,000. Take Walker plus some trash, plus a rookie who doesn’t know the future, and change it. An mVp-level insider is an opportunity that can be met in the current nBa. Giving up such an opportunity to pursue the so-called tradition, the result can only be to continue the Celtic's untitled experience.

But in front of the two bigwigs, Angie was not easy to say. Several other people, such as Siegfried and Cowens, also support the transaction, but Siegfried is not qualified enough. He has not even retired from the jersey. Cowens is Havlicek’s younger brother and the boss speaks. He did not dare to speak out against it. Now only two top veterans, Bill Russell and Bob Cousy, are qualified to speak.

However, the two did not seem to want to get involved in the dispute. Although they support Fox Leon in their hearts, this does not mean that they also support the transaction.

Auerbach, the real arbiter, took a sip of water and did not speak. He continued to ask Angie: "Danny, tell me how you completed this transaction. How did the Timberwolves send Garnett? McHale But always treat him as a treasure."

This question stopped Angie's question. In Madison, he was able to prevaricate the details, but here, there was no way to hide everything, so Angie could only tell the truth honestly. He said: "I just completed the final operation of the transaction. All the previous preparations were done by Fox Leon. He started to prepare more than a year ago."

As soon as Angie said what he said, Heinthorne sneered at first, seeming to be laughing at Angie. He was not the leader of such a big deal as a team president. Havlicek seemed very interested. He wanted to know how the Celtics' new coach of the finals had dug a player with the highest salary in the league.

"Where is Leon? Let him come over!" Auerbach said to Angie. Angie also felt very strange. He called him yesterday and said he was in Washington, but now he is nowhere to be seen. He called Leon, and Leon said he would be there within five minutes.

When Leon was wearing a green T-shirt and a pair of jeans and appeared like a sports teacher in the 13o1 ward of the Hall of Fame, he felt the tremendous pressure on his face for the first time, and this pressure was even over. The suffocating feeling of oppression before the finals a month ago. For a second, Leon regretted that he had agreed to Auerbach's advice.

The reason why Auerbach told Leon not to notify his family after waking up was to wait for this opportunity today to bring all the Celtics’ celebrities together, and then let Fox-Leon tell them that he was Auerbach’s true heir, no matter who it is, should not have any opinion on Leon’s decision.

This regret lasted only one second. Leon walked to Auerbach’s hospital bed and gave the old man a close kiss. Auerbach patted Leon on the shoulder and said to him, “Everyone knows. Kevin Garnett was traded to the Celtics. Everyone is interested in knowing how you completed this'Lakers' deal."

Auerbach’s words made the people in the room smile again. The so-called Lakers-style deal is because the Lakers have always been good at robbing insiders. From Chamberlain to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to O’Neal, this time the Celtics got Garnett~www .readwn.com~ is a typical Lakers deal.

Leon looked up at the old men in the room, all of them had experienced battles and had a wealth of basketball life experience. Leon knew this was a great opportunity for him. In Boston, no matter what achievements he has achieved with the team, he is still not considered a pure Celtics in his bones.

Although in the past two days or so, Leon almost broke his leg, broke his mouth, used all the relationships he could use, threatened and tempted, and pushed everything out of sight.

Leon has already figured it out clearly, he will not become the so-called pure Celtics, even if he wins the championship. His experience is destined that he can't enjoy the glory that began in the player era like those famous players. But here, he wants to tell them that in this era, in the 21st century, in the new nBa world, a pure Celtics can no longer add honor to this team, they need to change, they need a revolution.

"All of this will start after the end of the Minnesota Draft in 2000..." Leon said calmly, talking about everything.

In fact, three full years have passed since the inception of this transaction plan. (To be continued.)
