When Leon rode back to the community service center, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and he was exhausted physically and mentally after a day of work. Especially after the children were picked up by their parents in the afternoon, Auerbach left Leon to clean up the mess-including dragging the floor of the arena from left to right from front to back, and then the bishop left contentedly. , Let Leon go back to rest.
On the way back, Leon went to an electronics store to buy a mobile phone for one hundred dollars, and then to the only AT&T telecom store in Marshfield to get a calling card. This is Leon’s biggest purchase in the two months since he came to the United States, but looking at the small brick-like mobile phone in his hand, Leon did not feel the excitement of buying new things at all-the 2000 mobile phone, really It's unpopular.
On his small bed in the community service center, Leon felt that he had relieved all the fatigue of the day. It must be admitted that Auerbach was not a bishop but a pope in terms of how to extract the value of others. If he is not putting his life's energy into basketball, but on earning wealth, this small Jew will definitely be the hero of Wall Street.
However, Leon has paid off for working for Auerbach. He took out his newly bought cell phone while lying in bed and dialed the phone Auerbach had left him.
At this time, Auerbach was sitting in the study of an apartment in Marshfield, which was bought by the Celtics as early as the 1980s and was dedicated to Celtic managers and The coaching staff lived during the rookie training camp. Now although Auerbach has left the Celtic management, the team is still willing to give him this apartment. After all, the old man frequently travels to and from Boston and Marshfield, and his body cannot bear it.
And since leaving the Celtics, Auerbach has completely moved his family back to his hometown of Washington. In the past, even when coaching the NBA, Auerbach would often return to Washington. His wife and daughter have always lived in Washington.
Now it is only when there is a training camp that Auerbach will return to Massachusetts.
There is an old telephone on the desk in the room, with three photos next to him, one of him and Bird, Heinsorn, Cousy, and Havlicek, and one of him and Bill-La A photo of Searle, and a photo of his late wife Doshi-these three photos can almost cover Auerbach's life.
Of course, that telephone is also very important. In the past, when communication was not as developed as it is now, Auerbach relied on a telephone to complete an inexplicable operation and skill. Until now, mobile communication has become more developed, but Auerbach Still reluctant to use a mobile phone, in his Washington office, everything remains the same as in the 1960s.
Now, Auerbach is sitting next to the phone, waiting for Leon to call. It hasn't been a long time.
Recalling that the two met for the first time a few days ago, Leon rushed over and asked where he should go to participate in community service. You know, even some celebrities who saw Auerbach wanted to say hello should think about it. For a long time, then tremblingly came forward to say hello, it is very likely that Auerbach will not get a response.
Auerbach didn't want to talk to him at the time, but he didn't expect this kid to see at a glance that the cigar he smoked in his mouth was a "Dutch Master", and he was able to distinguish his taste and time of storage. This made the old man really look different. .
What was even more unexpected was that Auerbach wanted to discuss the topic of cigars with this kid, but he choked himself back in one sentence! The cardinal, who has a grudge against him, made many difficulties for him in the next few days, but with a magical ability, he solved all the difficulties one by one.
At a certain moment, Auerbach faintly felt that this strange kid had a huge potential in basketball, and this potential was so great that he could even inherit the mantle of his cardinal in the Celtics.
Auerbach has worked hard for the Celtics all his life and has cultivated countless outstanding basketball jobs. Among them are basketball superstars, champion coaches, team management backbones, some continue to fight for the Celtics, and some Open branches and loose leaves elsewhere. But among so many people, no one can inherit Auerbach's leadership and re-establish a new basketball empire in Boston.
Larry Bird has this ability. Whether as a player, coach or manager, he can be an emperor, but this rural guy from the Indiana cornfields eventually returned to his roots and returned to his rural Indiana for his basketball career there. Open up the territory. Just today, on June 1, 2000, he has led the Indiana to the finals for the first time in history as a coach.
Danny Angie is a good choice, but his performance in coaching for the Suns is not satisfactory. As the general manager, he may be a good choice. His personality and way of doing things are in line with Auerbach’s The appearance is more fierce and tough, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
In contrast, Rick Pitino is not at all the heir of Auerbach’s ideals. He was born as a non-Celtic. His coaching style and basketball philosophy are at odds with Auerbach’s. He has a strong academic style, if it weren’t for 1997. Pitino has just led Kentucky to win the NCAA championship, and Auerbach is old and the Celtics are sluggish all year round. In any case, there will be no situation where Auerbach leaves Pitino in the upper position.
Now, Pitino’s stay is in the hands of Auerbach, and just yesterday he has received the head of Celtic team development, Michael who was also a Celtic player, coach and manager. Lyon-Karl's phone call, he told Auerbach the team will soon invite him back to take up important positions.
As for what else the Celtics can do, Auerbach is actually a little bit powerless. In any case, he is 83 years old and is used to walking in Washington, playing cards, going to the Woodmont party every Tuesday, and then going to the "Chinese Doll" "The restaurant has a late night life.
Going back is just to make a monument to stabilize people's hearts and give the team some confidence to get out of the predicament and start again.
However, the little potential displayed by this kid has made Auerbach's basketball heart that has been dying since 1993, a little more active, and Auerbach himself feels a little weird.
His performance for nearly an hour this afternoon was even more incredible.
At this time, the phone on the table rang. Auerbach knew it was from Fox-Leon, but he did not answer the call. Instead, he waited until the ringing reached the sixth ring before picking up the phone and putting it next to his ear, slowly. Said: "Hello, this is Auerbach."
This is Auerbach’s character. He always has to play some tricks to overwhelm others. Even if he answers the phone and knows who the other party is, he will not answer immediately. You must wait until the other party listens to the beep of the phone and begins to be anxious. Then he picked up the microphone and gave the other party a sense of relief.
But after saying "hello", Auerbach waited for five seconds, and there was no voice from the other side.
"Want to compete with me?" Auerbach couldn't help but sneered, so he didn't speak, but after waiting another five seconds, neither side spoke.
After an extremely long ten seconds, Auerbach finally couldn’t stretch himself. He smashed the microphone twenty years ago. Now he doesn’t do that anymore, so he continued: "Well, I know you are Leon. Remember what I said to you in the afternoon? I have a friend who specializes in legal affairs. I will help you avoid your 100 hours of community service. And starting this month, I will give you Introduce a job related to basketball. Are you interested?"
Auerbach talked a lot, but there was still no sound on the other end of the phone, which made Auerbach's heart angry. He said in a bad tone: "Boy, I advise you not to compete with me, I will tell you bluntly. People who compete with me will generally not have good results. Open your mouth and talk!"
Auerbach just finished speaking, he heard a rapid "beep" on the phone, and the other party hung up!
Auerbach felt that his brain was about to explode. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com angrily slammed the microphone towards the base, because the force was too strong, Auerbach felt his throat choked and kept coughing stand up.
Just then, the phone rang again, Auerbach lifted the microphone and yelled at him: "Buddy, you better speak quickly!"
Finally, a voice came from the receiver. It was Fox-Leon’s calm, unsatisfactory tone. He said,
I’m sorry, Mr. Auerbach. The signal here is not very good. I didn’t listen at all. What are you talking about. It seems that you didn't hear me. You must have been so angry just thinking that I ignored you. Relax, now I can hear you, and I guess you can also hear. "
Leon’s words poured on Auerbach’s fiery head like a basin of cold water, making Auerbach dumbfounded, and he didn’t know what to say. He gritted his teeth, resisted the urge to hang up, and said,
From tomorrow, No need to do community service, go to Boston, at 226 Causeway Avenue, find Michael Carr, call 854-8000! You will have a new job soon, good luck! Remember to come to me tomorrow before you go trip!"
After speaking, Auerbach hung up the phone, anyway, he was not worried that Leon would forget the address or phone number he said.
As for the specific job, let him guess!
Auerbach finally took a sigh of relief, and happily took out the Dutch master who hadn't finished drawing, found a long stick match, and began to vomit.
