The Whip of the God of Basketball - Chapter 349

The scorching sun in Arizona has begun to scorch the earth. For the people in Phoenix, they have long been accustomed to the hot and dry weather since April-summer is coming.

Robert Savoy woke up early in the morning and started busy, dressing, dressing up, calling the hotel to book a room, and arranging dinner in the evening. He is not going to date a female star or celebrity, but to recruit a new general manager for his team.

Savor is the owner of the Phoenix Suns. He bought the team in 2004, but the general manager of the team has always been the son of the former owner Brian Colangelo-the former owner and president of the US Basketball Association Jerry Colangelo is his father. Savoy wanted to clear this young boy out of the sun and put it in his own confidant. He never expected that in the summer of 2004, Savor performed a series of magic operations, including signing Steve Nash and trading Joe from the Hornets. -Johnson, let the sun, which was still hovering on the edge of the playoffs, climbed to the first place in the Western Conference.

Although they smashed the Western Conference finals that season, Colangelo secured his position, and the cunning Savo was also happy to see the team’s box office sell out his own money. Until this summer, it was 2007, and Savor considered the best time for the Suns to win the championship. Stadamel, who was previously injured and reimbursed, returned, and the West was invincible except for the Spurs and Mavericks. The Mavericks, No. 1 in the West, fell in the first round of the playoffs.

More importantly, the green empire in the East collapsed. The head coach ran away in the summer of 2006. Kevin Garnett suffered a knee injury and was reimbursed for the season. This injury came from the 2004 Finals and Karl Malone’s relationship. hit. The shadow on Haoqiang’s head disappeared instantly, but the shadow on the sun’s head was still there-San Antonio Spurs.

In the desperate Western Conference semifinals, Robert Holly’s malicious foul ruined the hopes of the Suns. They were eliminated by the Spurs again and watched the Spurs easily defeat the Cavaliers in the finals to win the championship. Savor finally couldn’t bear it. He Colangelo was fired, and he had a suitable candidate in his mind.

“Are you here? Already here! Okay, I’m almost at the airport, I want to meet him personally.” Savor was on the phone with the team consultant on his luxurious Maybach. The person he invited has arrived at Phoenix Airport. He wants to Use the highest standards to receive this person who he thinks can change the sun.

When he arrived at the airport, Savor found that the person he was looking for was already waiting for him in the VIP waiting area. Savor enthusiastically greeted him and held his hand, and gave him a warm hug, saying: ” Welcome, Steve Cole.”

Steve Kerr couldn’t adapt to Savor’s enthusiasm, just as he could not adapt to the scorching Arizona sun, but at least he knew that this shrewd boss valued him very much. He was very satisfied with this, because he never wanted to use his headset to tap the keyboard to do -by-comment on the noisy sidelines. He wanted to be a real trader, a team manager or coach.

The smug Cole and the high-spirited Savor, the two have endless days to talk. This is undoubtedly a pleasant meeting. Savor took Cole to appreciate the most advanced dining and entertainment in Phoenix. The trend of the NBA in recent years and future trends. At a dinner specially prepared for Cole, Savor asked Cole to talk about his plans for the development of the Suns next season.

Cole talked a lot, including how to improve the team’s signing mechanism, how to spend more energy on cultivating newcomers, and how to rebuild the team’s core lineup. Cole said a lot, but it doesn’t seem to be enough for Savor. Completely satisfied, because these seem a bit clichéd.

But in the middle of the dinner, Cole had the opportunity to chat with Savo alone, avoiding other Suns managers, especially their head coach D’Antoni, when Cole said seriously to Savo: ” In fact, I have one of the most effective ways to strengthen the sun, and I will invite another person to come.”

“Who?” Savor suddenly asked with bright eyes, as if he had an answer in his mind, but he was just waiting for Cole to say the name.

“You know who it is.” Cole said mysteriously.

“Are you sure to invite him?” Savor asked worriedly. He should be able to be sure that Cole was talking about the person he thought.

“Eighty percent, because he still owes me a championship.”

North Carolina, Charlotte, Davidson Town, Davidson College, after the end of March Madness, summer vacation is coming soon, for the boys on the Davidson College basketball team, the hard summer training is about to begin.

They have just successfully reached the quarterfinals in the national competition, and they have attracted the attention of the United States. After this, the best result of the small college of thousands of people in the past was to reach the quarterfinals, but that dates back to as far away as 1969. And this year they are almost upright, because this team ushered in two important figures, one is a rising star, super shooting guard Stephen Curry, he averaged 21.5 points per game in the rookie season. The rookie leader and scoring leader in the next division.

The other is their head coach, Fox Leon.

“If there are still people who can’t adapt to simulation training, then I tell you that you are not suitable for survival in this team. If you can’t remember those tactics, moves and rules, wash your **** and go home squatting in the toilet. From this summer , Everyone, keep in mind that the failure in the quarterfinals is not for revenge, but to tell you that the road forward is endless.”

On the floor of the college basketball hall, Fox Leon wore a sweatshirt and spoke to the young guys. No one dared to make any noise. For these children, just hearing Fox Leon’s name is enough to make them dare not breathe, especially for those students who are just preparing to join Davidson University this year.

After seeing the real Fox Leon, they discovered that he was more terrifying than they thought. The out-of-pocket devil coach, who has a perverted control over the details, is so perverted. The only thing that makes everyone happy is that his brutality is only Staying on the basketball court, once he left the arena, he became a silent and somewhat cool uncle, never interfering in the private lives of the players.

After a day’s training is over, those newcomers will feel that their bodies are hollowed out. It is completely NBA-level high-intensity and high-efficiency training. For those who rely on talent to play in high school, this is a torture. , Is a kind of training.

Leon packed up his things and prepared to leave the arena. At this time, he found that Curry was still holding the ball and was training shots on the court. He is practicing three-pointers, standing three steps away from the three-point line, farther than the NBA three-point line.

At this time, Leon tore a piece of paper from the tactical manual, crumpled it up, and suddenly slammed into Curry when Curry was about to take a shot. Curry, who was about to take the shot, was taken aback, but the ball went crooked and crooked.

“What are you afraid of, can the ball of paper kill you?” Leon shouted at Curry.

“No… I just…” Curry scratched his head, then picked up the ball.

“Even if someone points a gun at you, you have to throw the ball in before being shot, so that even if you die, you are dead and valuable.” Leon finished speaking and left the training hall, leaving Curry alone. In a daze on the court.

Curry didn’t know that this would be the last lesson Fox-Lion gave him at Davidson College. Because two days later, Fox-Leon announced his resignation from Davidson Academy, returned to the NBA, and joined the Phoenix Suns.

In the King David Memorial Garden in Washington, in front of a simple, unremarkable tombstone, a man and a woman stood in front of the tomb and presented a bunch of white flowers.

“Do you really want to go to Phoenix?”

“Yes, I promised Steve and owed him a championship.”

“The Celtics deal is about to take shape. Michael expects to go to the Supersonics, and Rivers will trade Ray Allen… the Big Three.”

“Then you go to the sun, are you confident to defeat the Celtics? Did you succeed?”

“I don’t owe Angie anything… If there is one person left in this world who can defeat the Celtics completely, that person can only be me.”

“Then what do you owe me?”

“Phoenix is ​​closer to Los Angeles, otherwise you will move to Phoenix, you owe me a LeBron James.”

“Since you have gone to the west, I will leave him in the east.”

“Don’t talk about basketball… Tell us about our kids… Mikel, this is the name the old man gave him, which means miracle.”

“Well, this is a good name, it is indeed a miracle…for everyone.”

Khomeinis stroked her slightly bulging belly while looking affectionately at Leon beside her. To her, to Auerbach, to Boston, this man was a miracle.

This is one day in June. Leon and Khomeinis went to Washington to sweep Auerbach’s grave together. Seven years ago today, Leon met Auerbach for the first time in Marshfield and started his new career. Life.

In six years, he led the Celtics to four finals, won three championships, and helped the Greens complete their second three consecutive championships after eight consecutive championships.
