Chapter 242: Block gun

While Leon continues to work hard for the Celtics, Kevin Garnett is enjoying a heroic treatment in Boston, although he has not played a game for the Celtics. After the novel ﹤≦≦≤﹤≤＜＜ formally completed the transaction on June 29 and came to Boston, Garnett’s large poster appeared on the outer wall of the North Shore Garden Arena. However, the jersey worn by Garnett on the poster does not have a number, because the number 21 jersey of Garnett in Timberwolves has long been retired in the Celtics, and this number belongs to Bill Sharman. Therefore, the number of jerseys Garnett wears needs to be negotiated by both parties.
On the day the transaction was completed, the Celtics held a grand fan meeting for Garnett in the plaza of the North Shore Garden Arena. Nearly 30,000 fans gathered in the not-so-sick Boston sun. The square is just for a glimpse of the 280,000 superstar that the Boston Celtics ushered in. Garnett said at the meeting that he will bring their 17th championship trophy to the Celtics.
Such a promise pushed the atmosphere of the scene to the point. In the next few days, various reports related to Garnett flooded the Boston media, with longing, hope, praise, and praise.
This city once possessed incomparable glory has not been so close to the championship for too long, too long. Although they reached the finals last season, they really have no chance to face the Spurs. They chased from o:2 to 1:2, and then became 1:3. After barely winning a game in the fifth game, they didn't have any chance in San Antonio, just because there was a person on the opposite side named Tim Duncan.
The arrival of Kevin Garnett let all Boston fans know that they finally have a guy who can fight against those inside monsters in the West. This talented, passionate and passionate power forward has truly brought the Celtics. Hope of the champion.
However, starting from June 3o, the public opinion situation has undergone subtle changes, because Kevin Garnett insisted on the number 21 jersey and was unwilling to choose other numbers. This can make the Celtics management, especially Danny Angie guilty, there is indeed a precedent in the history of the Celtics jersey inheritance.
The previous jersey No. 18 originally belonged to Jim Roskotov. He won 7 championships with the team. The Celtics are preparing to retire his jersey, but Roskotov rejected this kindness and hoped for this number. Can continue to be passed on. Later, the No. 18 was passed to Bailey Howell. In the end, the No. 18 jersey belonged to Dave Cowens. As Cowens retired after the 198o season, the No. 18 jersey was completed in three great Kai The inheritance between the Alters hangs high above the Boston Arena.
Because of this, Kevin Garnett has the idea of ​​continuing to wear the No. 21 jersey, but the original owner of No. 21, Bill Sharman, is now in California, and Kyle is halfway through Sharman’s veins. Special people have green blood, and the other half is flowing with Lakers' golden blood. Therefore, Danny Angie doesn't know how to get back to No. 21 from Sharman.
Such news began to make some old fans in Boston feel dissatisfied. There are a large number of old fan clubs in Boston. They have experienced the most glorious era of the Celtics, the era when the Green Corps was half of the NBA. The mantra of these old fans is "We have experienced the best basketball era. I need to keep watching nBa again."
It is just such a group. Although there is no sound on weekdays, it is far inferior to the huge momentum of the emerging fans, who are crazy about supporting the stars on the Internet and in reality, but when their voices converge, they are also quite terrifying. Therefore, Garnett's perfect day in Boston lasted only three days, and some criticisms gradually appeared.
Of course, it’s Danny Angie who is dying of worry now. When he was a player, he was caught between Larry Bird and Kevin McHale as a megaphone. Now as the president of the team, he has to balance the foreigners. The relationship between superstars and the traditional forces of the team. This is the first time in the history of the Celtics, because in the past, the Celtics had never been a superstar who was traded or defected. The entire team and environment of the Celtics were relatively closed. Into one.
Angie knows that if this incident is not handled well, it will have a bad impact on the Celtics’ team atmosphere and public opinion environment next season, so in these few days, he has tried to Contact Bill Sharman and try to communicate whether it is possible to let the retired jersey come back and pass on this number.
On the other hand, of course, it is necessary to communicate more with Garnett’s team. Angie knows that the choice of insisting on the 21st is not made by Garnett alone, it must be the decision made by the entire Garnett team, especially His agent, that difficult Andy Miller.
The only thing that makes Angie feel more fortunate now is that the other core of the team, the pure Celtics Paul Pierce and Garnett get along very well. The two met as early as high school, and in 1994 they participated in the auu tournament in Las Vegas. At that time they were teammates, and Garnett went to Pierce's house as a guest for a week, and the two had a very good relationship in private.
Since there is no problem with the two biggest names in the team, what Angie has to do is to get Bill Sharman, Garnett, or Andy Miller.
At this time, Angie started to miss Leon again. Recently, he always missed Fox Leon especially, but this guy was never around. The summer training camp can obviously be carried out directly in Boston, but he has to take a group of people to Orlando in advance, saying that he can practice more at ease there.
If Leon is there, he can help a lot whether it's getting Sharman or Miller. Needless to say, Sharman can be called Leon’s second godfather. He personally took him to California for an internship. Angie didn’t know why Leon always liked those old guys. As for Miller, Angie knows that Miller’s brokerage company has a stake in Khomeinis, and there are various signs that-for example, Miller snatched to become Milicic’s broker, Leon and Miller must be "shady" Private relationship~EbookFREE.me~ These things are piled up together, and Angie stuns his head. He called Leon several times. Leon either said he was busy training or was looking for players, and he was not free. In short, I just don't want to help.
The final result was that before the start of the summer league, Kevin Garnett’s number selection problem began to leave, and the public opinion influence of this event began to grow bigger and bigger. Many newspapers opened readers’ voting columns to let them To choose, which number should Kevin Garnett use.
From this question, a series of topics such as the inside story of the draft, Garnett's weakness, his loyalty to Minnesota, and so on, began to bombard the superstar who had just been stable for a few days. At this time, Kevin Garnett realized what a peaceful and peaceful town Minnesota is. He also gradually realized that the fans in the ancient city of Boston are the best fans in the world, but they are also the most critical fans.
However, just when Garnett was overwhelmed by public opinion, a man stood up and blocked a shot for him-on July 2, the Eagle County incident broke out, and the Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant was summoned by the police; 7 On the 4th, the police signed a warrant for Kobe's arrest.
A scandal completely diverted people's attention. (To be continued.)
