The Whip of the God of Basketball - Chapter 356

Leon finally succeeded in persuading D’Antoni. In fact, Leon’s bargaining chip was very simple, that is, the championship, and it was D’Antoni’s way to get the championship. Tian Lai Novels

D’Antoni very much hopes to win the championship with his own ideas, so if Leon talks to him about defense, how to add defensive elements while maintaining the original offense, or ask D’Antoni to change his strategy and follow him. Go, then no matter how many rings Leon wears, D’Antoni will leave the sun.

However, Leon did not. He did not promote any of his own tactics, strategies, or experience in winning championships. He said that he was not responsible for offense and defense. He did not tell D’Antoni what he was going to do from beginning to end. . He just chatted with D’Antoni, talked to him about Nash, talked about Stadamel, talked about his feelings in the Suns in the past few years, talked about the resentment and disappointment in the face of the San Antonio Spurs.

The more the two talked, the closer D’Antoni felt to Leon. There were some things that he never even said to his father, the old D’Antoni, so that the old D’Antoni who was sitting by and listening to them spoke to him. The son said: “I didn’t expect you to be like D’Antoni.”

Leon doesn’t say much. He is good at listening. These are some of the experiences he has gained during his years as a coach. Sometimes, for a coach, listening may be more important than speaking. In the past, he thought that he was like a commander. He had to convey his commands and thoughts to the minds of every assistant coach, staff and players, and let them execute them, and then the team would win the game.

Indeed, they did it in 2oo4, and then they did it in 2oo5. At that time, Fox Leon thought he was a great organizer and conductor. But in 2oo6, when Arenas left, Auerbach became seriously ill and the team’s various contradictions accumulated and exploded, they began to have various problems.

Not only on the court, but more off the court, there have been many accidents in the players’ lives. Many of these accidents are just minor problems. In the past, Leon took everyone to the house for a dinner, which may be solved. But in 2oo6, everything has changed. Everyone wore two golden shining rings. Everyone has left an important mark in the struggle of the championship. They are no longer under-dogs. They It was a warrior who became a dragon after killing the dragon.

During that period, when Auerbach was unable to exert any influence, Fox-Leon felt helpless for the first time, no matter how many phone numbers he had in his mind, no matter how many notes and notes he kept in his notebook. Records, he couldn’t think of which phone call could help and comfort him, which record could bring back the deadly effect.

They fell to fourth place in the Eastern Conference in the regular season that year, behind the Detroit Pistons, behind the Miami Heat, and behind the New Jersey Nets. Everyone thought that the good days for the Boston Celtics were over.

Things turned around in March of 2006. On the last day of 2005, Fox-Leon and Khomeinis held a wedding in Boston and they formed a family together. At that moment, Leon realized that his life had changed. Although Khomeinis had been with him in the past, his girlfriend and his wife were different.

After the family was formally established, Leon’s life was no longer what it used to be. A bachelor knew work every day, flying around and running around. Khomeinis was in Los Angeles. He sometimes lived in a house. When I lived in an apartment, there were no rules in life. But after getting married, Khomeinis moved back to Boston from Los Angeles, remotely directing the brokerage business in Los Angeles in Boston, and then spent more time with Leon.

There will be some quarrels and contradictions between them, these are rarely born in the past, Leon found that there are actually many differences between the two. But this running-in made Leon start thinking that in this world, he is indeed very, very smart, but he can never make others as smart as him. He began to communicate with his wife and at the same time with the players. He rarely threatened them with fists or gambling, but cared and understood like an elder.

He has done this in the past, but he didn’t do it well enough, because he is too smart and he understands others too easily, so that in many cases, the other party will feel that there is no need to say anything to Leon, anyway he understands it.

Then, the playoffs began. The Celtics entered the playoffs in fourth place. They were defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the round. LeBron James is already half-mature, he is so talented and so With the impact, he began to ambitiously challenge the Eastern Order, and there is nothing better than killing the defending champion of the Boston Celtics.

Then they were swept by Leon’s Celtics o:4.

In the playoffs, the Celtics regained their vitality. Leon abandoned the “ultimate defense” that had been emphasized and liberated the players from the rules he set. Everyone let them go and play.

Yes, a team that has won two championships, a group of players who have proven themselves, what else do they need to restrain and guide them? They just need a champion’s heart.

So in the semifinals, the Celtics defeated the menacing Detroit Pistons 4:2. They won the best record in the regular season. In the playoffs, they lost their tenacious defensive team and were defeated by the Celtics. People bite to pieces.

The only obstacle was the Eastern Conference finals in 2oo6. The Heat, the Celtics defeated their opponents in seven games, and then in the finals, the Celtics, who had reached the peak of morale, cut off the inexperienced Mavericks. The Bostonians completed another three consecutive championships since 1966, and a full 40 years have passed. That year, Auerbach died without regret.

After that, Leon retired. In addition to Auerbach’s death and Danny Angie’s backlash, the more important reason was that he wanted to find the true meaning of being a real coach in college, not just being Arnold Orr. The shadow of Bach. Since then, he put away the cigar, only when he missed the stubborn old man, he would take a few sips on the balcony in the dead of night.

Now that the sun is up, Leon knows exactly what he really wants to do.

……………………

Stayed at the old D’Antoni’s house for one night. Early the next morning, Leon and Mike D’Antoni drove back to Richmond together. They were going to New York together.

“Why go to New York?” D’Antoni had already rejected the Knicks’ invitation. He didn’t expect Leon to go to New York.

“New York is my base camp, where rumors are flying everywhere, and I want to grab some valuable intelligence there to see if I can bring some help to the team in the free market.” Leon said.

“But I think that’s what Steve Kerr should do. We’d better prepare for summer training.” D’Antoni feels that the coach’s involvement in the selection of players is a little unsatisfactory, unless it is something that can be changed. The core player of the player, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com, such as Nash, he recruited himself.

“The main content of Steve Kerr’s job is to recruit me. The less he can do other things, the better. In fact, he is more suitable to be a coach. This guy has learned a lot from Vicki and Jackson.” In Leon’s view, Steve Kerr is a bad job as a manager.

“But the team’s cap space… I think it’s difficult to make a big change or eat a big fish except for trading.”

“No, no trade, why trade? If traded, why would I ask you to be an assistant coach? This is your lineup. They are excellent, trust me, I am not the kind that likes to start from scratch and fertilize Waterer. It was a special case in Boston. I did three years of work for them in vain. Now it’s different.”

The two were chatting on the road, when Leon received a text message on his phone, Leon opened it and read it, “I thought about it seriously, maybe I can play in nBa for another year, but I hope to get the guarantee of playing time.”

Taking a look at the letter’s number, Leon knew who it was, Jasco Repairs, because he had the phone numbers of almost all players in the league in mind. The whip of the **** of basketball
