Chapter 16: The final test

For Leon, before he had time to ask a few more questions, Auerbach hung up the phone rudely. Fortunately, he had an amazing memory and he had already remembered the address and phone number of the Celtic headquarters in his head. The memory bank is like a regular and tidy library. Every bit about life is recorded and indexed easily.
　　While engraving the Celtic headquarters and phone information into his memory, Leon suddenly thought of the phone number that Khomeinis left him at noon yesterday.
In the afternoon, after a day’s training camp, Khomeinis left with her volunteer partners. Although Khomeinis wanted to stay alone to help Leon clean up, she hesitated for a long time, bold and enthusiastic by nature. She still didn't do this. On the one hand, she still has the reservedness of a girl. On the other hand, Leon's erratic attitude made Khomeinis hesitate.
　　 When Leon called Khomeinis, the call was connected after only 1 second, and the voice of Khomeinis jumping came from the receiver: "Hello! Is this Leon?"
　　 I don't know why, when I heard Khomeinis' voice, Leon felt a slight warmth in his heart.
　　 has been in this time and space for more than two months, what has he experienced? Thugs, fake punches, police stations, court charges, prisons, prisoners, community service workers, everything is full of darkness, loneliness and ugliness.
　　 After arriving in Marshfield, in Auerbach’s training camp, although he was directed by the old man to do more work than dogs, and the money was not as good as dogs, Leon found it very interesting and did a great job. The reason is simple, because here in Auerbach he can have a normal human experience and a feeling of being needed.
　　 The smartest, noblest, or great personality in the world often has some trivial needs, such as being cared for, recognized, and approved. Fox-Leon has extraordinary will, excellent brain power and amazing courage. He is not afraid of darkness, not afraid of completely unknown situations, not afraid of horrible forces, not bowing to a life where hope is not clear, and is patient. Waiting for the opportunity to reshape life.
　　 If rebirth is divided into levels of difficulty, Leon's encounter is not enough for hell, and it can be regarded as falling into the Colosseum.
　　 Now, there is a second person who has a trace of concern for Leon. Only from that greeting, Fox-Leon feels the expectation and desire in that voice.
"Hello, it's me." Leon replied, and his heart soon calmed down. If there is a machine that displays brain waves, then Leon's brain waves must be flat and stable, only once or twice occasionally Jump out of range.
Leon did not call Khomeinis impulsively, nor was he looking for someone to resolve his loneliness. He really had something to ask Khomeinis for help, because Leon found out that if he wants to go to Boston tomorrow, he will have to pay for it. There is not enough money for the miscellaneous other expenses.
　　 In the past few days, I have led some meal subsidies from the community service center, plus my own food and frugality, Leon’s $200 has been steadily and slowly reduced, but a mobile phone and a calling card made Leon instantly empty his hands.
　　 Auerbach promised to help him find a way to avoid community service labor, and even introduced him to a job, but his elderly people don’t care about how to get to Boston or how to deal with problems in Boston. Moreover, this problem can't be solved, so don't be Auerbach's disciple.
So on the phone, Leon asked Khomeinis if he could take him to Boston tomorrow, because Leon knew that Khomeinis did not live in Marshfield, and in the morning she would drive to Marshfield to volunteer. I drove back by myself in the afternoon, and Leon hoped to hitchhiker.
　　 Khomeinis readily agreed. She told Leon that she would continue to the training camp tomorrow, and that she would drive back to Boston at 3 in the afternoon, and then she could drive Leon to Boston together.
　　 Khomeinis also curiously asked Leon what he was going to do in Boston. Leon answered honestly: "Mr. Auerbach introduced me to a job in Boston, and he asked me to go to work tomorrow."
　　 "What job?" Khomeinis was like a curious little squirrel.
　　 "Maybe to wipe the floor of the Celtics stadium." Leon said solemnly, as if he had fallen in love with the promising job of a cleaner.
　　……………………
The next day, on June 2, Leon had breakfast, took a correction class, did two hours of correction activities, and had a half-hour interview with a social worker before leaving the community management center. , Go to training camp.
　　Before he left the community management center, the person in charge of the center told him that he did not need to come again in the future. His community service activities had expired and he was now a normal social person.
　　Because Auerbach told him to come to the training hall before going to Boston last night, Leon walked to the training hall.
When they arrived at the training hall, the training camp had officially started training. Auerbach sat on the side of the court with a cane to do off-court guidance, while Angie, Maxwell and Greg Kate were three old Celtics players on the field. Take the children divided into three groups for basic training. Other volunteers are responsible for providing services and assistance to the children, and those who like to play can also follow the children and learn some useful skills and experience from the former professional players.
An important reason for the strength of American basketball is that it started from the dolls. The children started contacting basketball at a very young age. They received very formal guidance and training. The three former professional players did not relax and train casually because their students were children. Teaching, on the contrary, just because this is a group of schoolchildren, they have to establish good playing habits and styles for these future basketball talents from the very beginning.
　　 Leon walked to the door of the arena and stood aside watching the intense training on the field. The closest to him was the group of Greg-Kate.
　　 Kate is very tall, more than 6 feet 10 inches tall, standing among the children is like a big tree, surrounded by small mushrooms. As the defensive insider of the Celtics in the 1980s, Kate was not well-known in the history of the NBA, and was just a very ordinary member in the history of the Celtics' glorious team. He was left behind by the Celtics. The only impression is the tough defense.
After retiring, Kate became the president of the Florida Basketball Association and contributed to the basketball career in his hometown of Florida. This time he received a call from the old coach and went to the training camp as a coach. At this time, he was teaching the children how to teach correctly. Ball and catch.
Children in the United States have been exposed to basketball early. Many children can do some basic skills, such as dribbling and shooting, very well at a very young age. The significance of training camps is to teach children things they can't learn alone, such as Pass and catch the ball.
Kate’s training method is very unique. After demonstrating the basic passing moves and letting the children practice a little bit, then he did not let the children do the boring one-on-one pass training in pairs, but let them play around. Form a circle, then hand the ball to a child, and then said: "Next, I will call a player's name, and when I call his name, I hold the ball in my hand. People who want to find him quickly, and then pass the ball. Be fast, accurate, and have a standard posture. We start with the most basic straight pass."
After the camp opening ceremony yesterday, the children were divided into groups and introduced themselves to each other. However, on the first day of training, they were definitely not familiar with each other. Kate’s passing training game can train the children to pass the ball. Speed, accuracy, and sensitivity can also make students more familiar.
　　 At the beginning of training, the scene turned into a mess. Either the passer didn’t recognize the name Kate called, or the pass was inaccurate or the force was too strong to hit the person, the ball was flying everywhere.
Khomeinis stood by the side of the Kate team and helped pick up the flying ball, which made her so busy. Finally a ball flew directly to Leon. Khomeinis ran over and looked up. I saw Leon standing by the door watching with relish.
　　 "Why didn't you come in and see?" Khomeinis asked after picking up the basketball and walking to Leon.
　　 "Uh...for fear of soiling the floor, I wiped it clean, so reluctant." Leon replied.
　　 Khomeinis couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckled, and then said: "Don't worry, I won't let you wipe the floor tonight. Come in, training is very interesting, come in and take a look."
　　 At this time, Auerbach also spotted Leon standing at the door "peeking", and waved his cane and shouted at him: "Come here, brat! I have a small problem here!"
　　 Leon had to enter the training hall again. God knows how small this small problem is.
