Chapter 160: Counterattack

?Fox-Leon inherited from Auerbach is more than just a few assistant coaches, or the experience of coaching professional teams, he also learned from the bishop’s thick black I learned a lot of shameless tricks in the dictionary. It's just that this era is different. Private conspiracy and secret mischief are no longer so easy. Everything is exposed in broad daylight. But this does not mean that those open and secret fights will disappear inside and outside the NBA. On the contrary, with the help of advanced technology and extensive media, some tactics are more sophisticated and deadly.
On the night of the 3rd, when Rasheed Wallace was sent off, there was an imbalance. The Celtics took advantage of the victory and pursued it. Leon almost immediately replaced Chris Anderson and Antoine. Walker, Walker relied on his skilful pace and fiery touch to succeed in the interior, and in one fell swoop, the score started in the fourth quarter.. The Blazers, who have lost the backbone of the inside, can only rely on the half-handicapped Sabonis and the 37-year-old Scott Pippen to preside over the overall situation. After a mighty first half, Bunge Wells faced pj- in the second half. Brown's inside blockade completely stopped.
The Celtics' defenses are shrinking and tightening, and the Blazers didn’t even throw their jumpers from the outside line. You used this to make a 13:2 attack wave in the fourth quarter, opening the point difference to 15 points. , The outcome has been determined, the Celtics finally beat the Blazers at home 111:101, 10 points advantage, completed a beautiful reversal battle.
After the game, Leon did not have much thoughts to celebrate with the players. He patiently participated in the press conference after the game and answered various questions from reporters, then left the arena alone and drove directly to the Hilton in Boston. Hotel, where to meet people from New York>
The place where Leon and Woj met was in a small bar on the second floor of the hotel. There was a quiet private box inside, where you could talk about some secret issues. With the gradual rise of woj in the sports media industry. His schedule is getting busier and busier. He often has to run around during the season, but he gets even busier in the off season. It is necessary to inquire about the actions of the teams and provide materials for his column revelations. This time he came to Boston and took time out of his busy schedule. To help Leon resolve the dilemma encountered in public opinion.
Although Leon’s emergency response in the first two days was quite beautiful, he served his sentence in the mci correction center, and some old things about playing fake punches and gambling in bars in the past were dug up by good reporters. After all, "The New Yorker" The column report is like a reward announcement, telling gossip reporters that "this alliance's popular fried chicken has ulterior embarrassment that can be uncovered."
Woj has a small reputation in the media industry, but so far he is not a person with great energy. His influence is limited to his columns and some reports. Maybe he can write some special interviews for Leon. But no one in the United States has allowed all the media to shut up and stop the spread of bad news. So woj is not here to help Leon with crisis public relations, but to help Leon develop a counterattack strategy, a counterattack against Andy Miller.
"Your work is very beautiful, very good. The negative effects of this report have been minimized... But the bad effects are still very large... Sometimes I am also confused, Fox, how did you Will you live that kind of life? With your level of intelligence, there are so many good universities in Boston, you can study and graduate in one of them. Join a club, maybe you can make a stand in the ncaa, and then you can take the coaching position. A flawless career path. But you chose a path to hell, and then one day you were suddenly taken back to the world by God. But the imprint of fire on you will never go away. "woj took a sip The whiskey in front of him frowned and said to Leon with gentle words.
"You are right. Indeed, God did bring me back to the world. There is an old Chinese saying that the prodigal son will never change his money. It is a pity that the people here don’t seem to understand it. This experience is my original sin. I don’t mind taking it. As a result, who is innocent in this world. The more successful the person, the more mixed reputation. Now I am more concerned. Is the fundamental purpose of these actions aimed at Garnett’s transaction? How do I stop it?" Leon said, clenching his fist and hammering the table, and the wine glasses on the table jumped up.
As Leon said, he does not depend on his reputation, anyway, he does not rely on fame to eat, and it is not a terrible experience to go to jail. But if these news cause the Celtics to decline, the attraction to players or the management turmoil, then the final result will make Leon's hard work for more than a year to completely fail, and the Celtics will enter in a short time. The chances of a championship team will be greatly reduced.
Leon may be able to slowly build a champion team in five years, but he is afraid that Auerbach will not wait for that day. It is undoubtedly an important way to achieve the championship dream for the team to acquire players like Garnett.
"Everything seems a little confusing, but Andy Miller is famous for his greed and cunning among agents. He won a huge contract for Kevin Garnett, but he also blocked Garnett. The road to the championship. I have some news from New York. The writer of the New Yorker’s article was their famous pen, Ian Crouch. It is said that he and Andy Brown have a good relationship . But I always feel that this matter may also be related to greater capital operations. Since 2002, the brokerage market has undergone major changes. Andy Miller has pulled his own team to another mountain, but I heard Some agents want to unite to form a larger agent consortium, group all the superstars of those leagues into one group, and then manipulate player transactions. "In front of Leon, Woj also said everything. Because he knows that Leon has a calm mind and a strong knowledge. As long as he puts the information in front of him, he can find out the key points. So even if it's just some hearsay, he will tell Leon. His opinion.
Leon thought for a while and said: "This will be a trend. Those vampires will stick to the stars and form a parasitic relationship. They are responsible for making the players' wallets grow and then drawing profits from it. But if Andy -If Miller is in line with this trend, he should not be afraid of player movement and transactions. On the contrary, he should encourage and promote transactions to make the market completely active, so that he can capture more benefits. So, if Mi Le participated in these activities, then he is innocent, if not...I still need some evidence."
Leon’s current thoughts on Miller are only speculation. After all, he is not the FBI. Although he can point to this cunning agent of Garnett in many ways, there is still no definite evidence, so Leon and Woj cannot use it. The resources in hand launched a counterattack. Leon also doesn't want to waste too much energy on this kind of thing to affect his coaching work in the team, otherwise he will lose the watermelon.
At this moment someone knocked on the door of the private room. A waiter opened the door and probed the probe, and then cautiously said: "There is a gentleman who wants to find you, Mr. Fox-Leon." It seems that the waiter in the bar also recognizes Fox. -Leon, he is now a household name in Boston.
Leon nodded, wondering who would find here, but Woj was a little nervous, afraid of the reporter who knew him. When the man entered the door, Woj realized that he did not know him, but Leon recognized this man. He was the legal counsel of the Woodmont Club and Rob Eze, who had helped him at the Marsfield Social Work Center. .
"What news does Arnold bring?" This was Leon's first reaction when he saw Eze, and Eze dragged off his coat and said with a smile: "You are still so rude. I don't know if you can ask me first, at least. Ask Mr. Auerbach if he is in good health. But you are right. Mr. Auerbach actually asked me to come. He said that you have encountered some minor problems and need a little help."
"I just want to know some news, let's see if Andy Miller is behind the scenes, and then I will find a way to deal with him." Although Leon has been there for many years, he is able to face the plight after crossing over. How can someone who calmly think of a way to get out is a guy who is slaughtered.
"Calm Fox, Auerbach said, he believes you can solve these problems by means~EbookFREE.me~ but he doesn't want you to get involved in disputes that have nothing to do with basketball. Your task is to train the Celtics well. , By the way, plan the future for the Celtics and recruit excellent players. Those off the court will be handled by their group of old Celtics. They have the ability and energy to deal with those who are indiscriminate, because The Celtics are also counted as the ancestors of the three abuses-this is Auerbach said, but I am not slandering the Celtics." Eze said with a smile, and then asked the waiter outside for a drink. stand up.
"This gentleman is right, Fox, you should focus more on basketball. The head coach is not a job that allows people to be distracted." Woj also persuaded him. He also felt that Leon should be calm. some.
Leon rubbed his nose with his index finger. Eze thought he was hesitating and wanted to persuade him, but Leon took out a paper card from his pocket, which he used to write a tactical note. He asked the waiter for another pen, and then wrote a series of numbers on the paper, and then wrote the name after the number, and handed it to Eze, "I have a plan in my mind, since you don’t Let me do it myself and leave it to you. Here are a few phone numbers. They are friends I knew when I was working on the scout team. Call them, tell them the plan, and then complete it."
After speaking, Leon drank the wine in front of him in one gulp, and began to describe his plan to Eze. (To be continued.)
