Chapter 293: The Eve of Christmas War

? Anderson's possession of marijuana did not cause any major disturbances in the sports public opinion circle. Firstly, Anderson's weight is not enough. Secondly, there are a lot of negative news about the Boston Celtics, and there is more than one player hiding. To the public, poison is nothing at all.
But this matter still had an impact within the Celtics. First, Chris Anderson was banned from the league. According to the league's banned drug regulations, Anderson will not be able to play in the next five games. Secondly, the image of the Celtics has undoubtedly been damaged once again. In the past, whether it was team fights, disrespect for reporters, gambling or drunk driving, they were still in a more tolerable safe zone.
However, drugs, even marijuana that is legal in some states, are much more serious than other negative news, especially in the Boston Celtics, a team that has been mercilessly hit by illegal drugs. Whenever fans hear and Drug-related news is hard to remember the tragedy of Lun Baias.
After staying in the police station for a day, Anderson was released on bail by his agent. He did not participate in the training that day. Instead, he threw himself in his residence for a whole day.
On the night of the 23rd, the Celtics beat the already declining Philadelphia 76ers with a huge advantage of 18 points at home on the night of the 23rd. Although Allen Iverson was still a fighter, after Larry Brown left, he scored three years ago. In the finals, they are falling into the abyss. This is the tragedy of non-talented teams. Their brilliance and opportunities are often only one year old. Once they fail to seize it, the darkness will reappear.
After the game, Leon did not go home, but went directly to Anderson's home.
When you think about it, this is the first time Leon has come to Anderson's house. It is completely different from the thoughts of Anderson's house being messy or luxurious but tasteless. This high-end apartment on the Charles River is not particularly clean, but The things are arranged in an orderly manner, and the decoration is very simple. What surprised Leon even more was that most of the furniture in Anderson's home was black, with black coffee tables, black chairs, black cabinets, and black sand. The whole room felt a touch of depression.
Before going, Leon called Anderson, so Anderson made a small hamburger for Leon at home and grind a cup of coffee for him.
"Sorry, I have taken you to Boston for so long, but I haven't been able to be a guest at your home." Leon said while sipping Anderson's coffee, which was a bit bitter.
Anderson just smiled and said, "Actually, you are the first Celtic employee to visit my house. None of them have been here, nor has Dennis... When I lived here, Dennis had already left Boston. "
In retrospect, no one seemed to be a guest at Anderson's house. Everyone has been to Leon’s house, the small villa bought by Arenas, the big villa of Pierce’s house, the small church that Reid built for him, and even Garnett, who just came, invited the whole team to go. His newly bought mansion. Only Anderson, no one came from his family, because everyone seemed to think this was a guy without a home, his home was either in the basketball hall or in the bar.
In fact, he has a family, but he is easily overlooked and forgotten.
Leon and Anderson talked about marijuana. Leon also knew that this was not a big problem. He was not worried about marijuana, but Anderson's sentence was legal in Colorado. Saying this indirectly proves that Anderson's heart is not stable.
"From tomorrow, you stay with me until the end of the suspension period." Leon suddenly said to Anderson.
Anderson was taken aback. Didn't he expect Leon to live with him, monitor and take care of himself?
"Go to my house, I have to make sure that you can train and participate in team activities normally during this time, instead of staying in this depressed room. See you at the training hall tomorrow morning, take your things, and the afternoon is over. Just go to my house." Leon demanded in an indisputable command tone. Although Anderson had doubts in his heart, he nodded in agreement.
………………
On December 24, one day before Christmas, the Celtics are about to usher in the Christmas War.
Khomeinis rushed back from Los Angeles to watch the Celtics’ Christmas battle. She prepared a sumptuous dinner and waited for Leon to return home. As a result, when Leon returned home after training, Khome. Niss only realized that Leon had brought an extra person.
Anderson felt a little embarrassed to see Khomeinis, but the generous Khomeinis quickly accepted Leon's idea and agreed to let Anderson stay at home for a few days. Anyway, after Christmas is over, she will return to Los Angeles, when the two big men live together, she won't bother to care about it.
The dinner started under soft candlelight, which Khomeinis had prepared for Leon, which made Anderson feel a little embarrassed. However, with Khomeinis serving delicious authentic Western-style meals, Anderson's embarrassment was resolved by the food.
Many times when he gets home, Anderson can only get himself some burgers or sandwiches and a cup of bitter coffee. When he goes to the restaurant, he only likes to eat Italian food. He rarely has the opportunity to eat such a sumptuous family dinner.
After the meal, Khomeinis served some desserts and made a pot of black tea for the two of them. Anderson was able to drink tea and chat with Leon under the small pavilion in the garden.
In the past, Anderson's nights were often spent in noisy, dim night venues. He was used to that environment, and he liked lively. But at this moment, he also enjoys the peace and quiet after dinner.
And chatting with Leon did not make him feel embarrassed. The two people have known each other for many years and there are many topics to talk about, especially Anderson's teacher, Dennis Rodman.
"Sometimes I think, I may never reach Dennis's level and level in basketball, but I also feel that I am so similar to him, as if I am his shadow. So sometimes I do something, I I often think about what he would do if it was Dennis. When the police came in that day, they didn't actually search me, but I thought that if it were Dennis, he would show the things to the police. So, I did that. I did it and I was arrested.
Anderson talked about the secret of his arrest, which made Leon feel ridiculous.
"There will only be one Dennis Rodman in this world, but there will only be one Chris Anderson." Leon said with a smile and Anderson.
Anderson drank a cup of hot black tea. The weather outside was getting colder and colder, but his heart felt warm after drinking the tea.
………………………
On the 25th, Christmas Eve, the streets and alleys of Boston were filled with a festive atmosphere. For Boston fans, the Christmas game tonight will be a gluttonous feast. The Celtics will welcome their opponents in last year's finals at home and defeat their San Antonio Spurs.
The heat of this game is no less than the Celtics and Lakers duel, but unlike last year's finals, everyone unanimously saw the Spurs, this time optimistic about the Celtics has become the mainstream. With another championship ~EbookFREE.me~ David Robinson retired, and the Celtics got Kevin Garnett, Spurs and Celtics who could compete with Duncan. People's strengths can be said to be ebb and flow.
In addition, the Celtics are gaining momentum at this time, and after a few games, it feels like the opponent has fallen without much effort. The hard power displayed is staggering.
However, no matter how the media predicts the outcome of the Spurs and the Celtics, one evaluation is almost one-sided, that is, "No matter who the Spurs or the Celtics are stronger, Duncan is better than Garnett. Even better."
The comparison between the two former No. 21s has never stopped. After Garnett joined a team with championship strength, the debate about the two power forwards has become more heated. On the 25th, this controversy reached its zenith, with comments from various sources, as well as various predictions and handicap.
However, with the exception of a few Boston media supporting Kevin Garnett, other large sports media said tacitly: "Perhaps the Celtics are stronger, but Duncan's strong advantage is even more obvious."
People can't wait to start this game-except for Fox Leon. (To be continued.) 8
