Chapter 103: Agreement

?
Khomeinis carefully stared at Leon after her short haircut, feeling that the person standing in front of her seemed to have a different appearance. After becoming the head coach of the Celtics, Auerbach first suggested that Leon cut his hair short and change his temperament to look more like an NBA head coach.
Leon hesitated for a long time. It's not that he likes long hair. It's that he is used to the way he is now. It wasn't until Auerbach said to him "I don't want a referee to blow you a technical foul because you have long hair next time," Leon decided to cut his hair. He chose a barber shop downstairs from his apartment. The owner was a middle-aged man in his forties with a mustache. He recognized Leon at a glance and helped Leon cut his hair for free.
Leon's hairstyle has changed from long curly hair to short hair that has been carefully trimmed and shaped. It looks clean and neat, just like Shange Yunton in the movie "Sudden Death".
"It looks... it looks... from a curly puppy to a fierce hound!" Khomeinis touched Leon's face and said with a grin. Leon laughed when he heard the inconspicuous metaphor. He squeezed Khomeinis’s face, touched his head, and said,
Okay, the new look has been shown to you, I want gone."
As soon as Leon finished cutting his hair, he called Khomeinis. Khomeinis must have Leon come to the school to show her, so Leon had to drive his four-handed Chevrolet to Boston College. He was at school. Khomeinis, who participated in the course training, secretly ran out of the classroom, only to see Leon's new look.
"You look better than two years ago!" Khomeinis shouted to Leon who was leaving, "you will be the best coach in the NBA!"
Leon waved to Khomeinis. He got into his car and looked at his face in the mirror. Compared to two years ago, he seemed to be much better. The scars near the nose are also lighter. If Fox-Leon’s former fox friends meet him again, I’m afraid they won’t recognize him. In two years, he severed all ties between himself and the past. Starting a new life of his own, looking at himself in the mirror and Khomeinis who is still standing and looking at him in the distance. He knew he had a new life.
Leon looked at his watch. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. He had to hurry up. There will be an important press conference at the Celtics headquarters at 2:30, which is after the Celtics were acquired by the new owner. Large-scale external propaganda, when the major sports media in Boston will participate, call for the opening of a new era for the Celtics.
……………………
Unlike the head coach inauguration ceremony held in the press conference room of North Shore Garden last time, the scale of this conference is much larger. Therefore, the location was set in the lobby of the North Bank Garden. The staff of the arena temporarily set up a large metal table, arranged the table, the background curtain wall and the sound. There were not only Boston reporters but also many fans of the team. The Celtics also rushed out, basketball management, marketing department, news speaking department, medical team, and even the accounting department arrived on the scene.
President Danny Angie, the team’s four new bosses, Glos Parker and his son, Steve Paljuka, and Robert Epstein. News spokesperson Jeff Tevez, and Celtic meritorious Bob Cousy, the head of the operating department, are already sitting on the stage. There are still two empty seats next to Angie. One is for Auerbach and the other is for the team's new coach Fox Leon.
"Call Leon and call Mark. He went to Washington to pick up Arnold. Why hasn't he come yet!" Angie said to his son Austin-Angie who was also on the scene. Austin Angie is just 21 years old this year, studying at Brigham Young University, and a point guard like his dad. Now the school is in summer vacation, and the summer internship program he participated in is to be an intern at the Celtics. Angie knows that his son has a certain talent in basketball, but he has not yet reached the level to enter the NBA. When he was 21 years old, he was already a well-known sports genius in the United States. And Austin is just the best basketball player at Brigham Young University. So he hoped that his son could make some development in team management. The Celtics is a good place to exercise.
"I called Leon. Two hours ago he said he was cutting his hair. Just now he answered the phone and said his car was broken... And Mark said he could not find Mr. Auerbach, including his brother. I don't know where the old man has gone..." Austin doesn't look like his father, but his temperament is absolutely similar, revealing a shrewd and imperceptible aggressiveness.
Cologne-Mark is the club administrator of the team and is responsible for contacting Auerbach all year round, but Auerbach was absent for several important ceremonies of the team. Because the old man never used his cell phone, once the phone could not be reached, he would either go to his brother and children, or search the streets of Washington.
At this time, the team’s spokesperson Jeff Tevez walked over to Angie, leaned over and asked,
The time is coming soon, do you want to start?
Angie thought for a while, knowing that time waits for no one, the four bosses It's all here, and you can't postpone it just because two people haven't arrived, although both are very important people.
So he nodded and told Tevez: "Get ready to start, don't wait..." Before Angie's words were finished, he found that there was a small commotion in the lobby where the fans gathered, and the fans who had gathered together were independent. The ground parted a path, and a man strode in. It was Fox Leon, Fox Leon with short hair.
Angie almost didn't recognize who this was, until he recognized the peculiar walking posture—with a jumping rhythm peculiar to a boxer, before he knew that it was Fox Leon. Leon approached the press station from the channel that the fans gave up. The reporters in the audience picked up the camera and took a wild shot. As the new head coach of the Celtics, he is now a popular chicken in the Boston media.
Leon didn't talk too much nonsense, and went straight to the press desk and sat in his seat. Angie glanced at Leon, who was calm and relaxed, and moved his mouth slightly and said, "You are really the finale."
Leon squinted Angie and replied: "The protagonist always comes out on the finale."
"You are the coach at the conference, and today you are not the protagonist."
"No, I am, because I brought the protagonist's news." Leon sold off to Angie. The team’s spokesperson Tevez has already begun to make a statement to everyone. Angie could only shut his mouth, wondering what kind of news Leon would have.
The conference was concise and compact, and none of the four bosses liked long talks. They are financiers who want practical and effective things, so after making simple opening remarks and speeches. They handed over the microphone to the reporter and conveyed useful information through the reporter's questions.
The reporter’s first question made most of the people sitting on the stage stupid. This reporter from the Boston Tribune directly asked where Arnold Auerbach had gone.
This is a serious problem. As the symbol of the team and the influential honorary chairman, he did not attend such an important conference. And he is not only absent from this conference, he also did not attend the appointment ceremony of the head coach, which has to make people suspicious. How did Auerbach, who was able to turn the clouds and rain in the Celtics more than a year ago, disappeared from people's sight so quickly?
Of course, the four bosses can’t answer this question. The pressure lies with Danny Angie. As the president of the team, this is an issue that Angie needs to consider. But Angie didn't know what to say. Could it be that Auerbach lost contact? Just as Angie was thinking about how to answer the best, Leon on the side spoke, and he said: "Mr. Arnold Auerbach has decided to resign from the position of honorary chairman of the Celtics and will not be with the Celtics from now on. He holds any position within. So he will not attend official Celtic events either."
When Leon said this, everyone was shocked, and the audience was even more talking about it. You must know that Auerbach is a symbol of the Celtics, just as Michael Jordan is to the Chicago Bulls, and Malone and Stockton are to the Utah Jazz. The Celtics have too many player superstars, but the source of these superstars and The godfather is Auerbach.
Now he has resigned all Celtic positions so quietly. This is not the same as his resignation as president for Pitino a few years ago. At that time, he was to abdicate to make a good man, and later resigned all positions because of his relationship with Pitino Engagement has the nature of anger. Finally, when he wanted to come back, he easily kicked Pitino away.
just now. He asked the team's new head coach and the recognized successor of Auerbach, Fox-Lyon, to announce his resignation on his behalf at the press conference. The meaning is self-evident, it is to announce to everyone that from now on, my position in the Celtics will be inherited by this kid!
After speaking, Leon looked at the suspicious gazes of many reporters off the court and took a cigar from his pocket and placed it in the vacant position next to it. This is a smoked cigar, cut neatly by a cigar cutter, leaving about two-thirds of its length.
"This is!" Some savage reporters have recognized the brand of this cigar~EbookFREE.me~ is a Cuban brand cigar.
"It's a retro style in 1966..." A journalist who is proficient in the history of the Celtics also reported the age of this cigar model. The retro style in 1966 has a very long body, medium thickness, and larger than normal. Cigars are thinner and lighter in color. This cigar was a cigar that Auerbach liked to smoke when he was young. When he started the Celtics coach in the 1960s, he lit this cigar whenever he felt victory was in his hands.
Leon placed the cigar on the table carefully and carefully. He didn't say anything. He wouldn't reveal anything about that night to anyone. It was a secret that belonged to him and Auerbach. A third of the cigar lit by Auerbach was smoked. Auerbach gave him to Leon and told him that he was going to resign everything, hoping that he could announce it on his behalf. At the same time, he and Leon made an agreement that only when the Celtics win the championship again, he can reignite the cigarette.
"Okay, let's ask the next question." Leon said to the reporter below, and there is more news he wants to shake out today. (To be continued.)
