Chapter 183: totally unexpected

While Leon was on vacation in Las Vegas, the Boston Celtics were still fighting in the regular season. , Access to the latest chapter: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ. It stands to reason that even if Leon is banned and unable to go to the scene to command, he can still stay in'Boston to participate in team training, but for some reason, Danny Angie forced Leon to go out to play, and Leon Even agreed.
As a result, the team’s assistant coach Dave Cowens replaced Leon as the Celtics’ interim head coach, responsible for the on-site command and daily training of these 15 games.
To say that Cowens is also a bit unlucky, after taking over Leon's coach, he encountered the most difficult part of the Celtics this season. First of all, the first opponent that Cowens led the team was the former team, the New Orleans Hornets. Cowens, who has contributed to the team for many years, received the cheers and applause of the live football fans at the New Orleans Arena, but The Celtics were not polite, they took their opponents 102:96, 6 points advantage.
Then they returned to the home court to meet the challenge of the Seattle SuperSonics. After playing the SuperSonics, the league ushered in the 2003 All-Star Game. In Atlanta, Michael Jordan began his All-Star farewell ≮, m., His regular-time buzzer equalizer made everyone see the afterglow of the once basketball god, but in the end Jordan's perfect farewell was destroyed by another extremely stubborn man-Kobe Bryant.
In short, in the days of early February, the league was filled with nostalgia and loss. The news of Leon's previous fight with the Pacers is no longer the focus of the media. Everyone dedicate their pen and ink to Michael, who is about to say goodbye. -Jordan.
After the All-Star break, the Celtics led by Cowens ushered in the longest road trip of the season. Six consecutive guests in the Western Conference challenged the SuperSonics, Trail Blazers, Clippers, Suns, Warriors and Kings respectively. Long and hard. Fortunately, the opponent is not particularly strong. The Celtics finally ended this journey with a qualifying record of 4 wins and 2 losses, and relying on this "wave" good record, surpassed the Detroit Pistons and rose to the third position in the East.
For a time, there was even a voice in the public opinion that let Cowens directly replace Fox Leon as the Celtics coach, because of the Celtics' performance in these games. Their average points per game have dropped, and at the same time they have lost points. Cowens slowed the team's offensive rhythm and put more'extensive' power in defense, making the Celtics look more like one. A traditional strong team with balanced offense and defense.
This kind of voice reached its greatest on February 26 when the Celtics defeated the Pacers again with a 71:66 ultra-low score at home. Even a small number of fans began to write letters and call Danny. -Angie, hope that Cowens will directly serve as the head coach of the Celtics, instead of Fox Leon who was suspended for fighting. Let him return to the role of scout or assistant coach he is familiar with.
However, in a post-match interview with the Celtics' home win over the Raptors on February 28, Paul Pierce was asked what is the difference between the current coach Dave Cowens and Leon before. Pierce was like this. Answered.
"Dave is very respected by us. He is a legend in Celtic history, an excellent player and coach. In the days he acted for him recently, he injected defense into our team and made us play more active. And hard work. It also has very good results. And Leon, he is our coach. We are waiting for him to come back. I call him almost every night, especially in the evening after the game, he will watch us In the game, point us and tell us the flaws and weaknesses in the game. I think...I want to wait for him to come back and we will be even better."
Except Pierce. The responses of other Celtics players are almost the same. Dave Cowens is very good, but everyone is waiting for Leon to return. As for where Leon is now, they don't know.
But soon. There was news about Fox Leon in the news media. First, the Arizona media revealed that Leon was feasting with his girlfriend and Dennis Rodman in Las Vegas, and then the Los Angeles media broke the news again. In an NCAA Big Ten game, Leon appeared on the scene of the game and watched the ball with the fans. Subsequently, more and more media reported the news that Fox-Leon ran around the United States during the suspension, giving people a feeling of complete injustice.
With the last two games left of Leon’s suspension, he appeared in New York, but this time no one paid attention to his whereabouts. For the current NBA league, this refreshing head coach at the beginning of the season, He has been eliminated from the public eye after the gradual decline in the season's results, the negative previous news and the fighting incidents, and now he appears more in some negative news and gossip news, and even some basketball game commentary will also mention-use Come to tease and ridicule.
In a private room of the Crescent Cafe on Fifth Avenue, Leon met one of the two people he was going to meet when he came back to New York, Andy Miller.
After meeting Rob Eze, Miller stopped searching for newcomers and focused his work on legal proceedings. He consulted many famous lawyers in New York, and the results were all one-if Aron -Mintz sued, he is almost certain to lose, especially Miller's recording pen recorded some useless content.
In the end, Miller had to follow Eze's instructions and came to the Crescent Cafe again at 3:30 pm on March 4 to meet Fox Leon in the private room where they met. Before the meeting, Andy Miller didn't know who would come to see him, and when he saw Fox Leon sitting in front of him wearing a blue ‘color’ cap, his expression was quite complicated.
Although I have heard of Fox Leon for a long time, and kept stumping him in the media, this is the first time the two have met. It stands to reason that what happened to Fox Leon should make Miller very satisfied. In many people's mouths, he is almost going to lose the Celtics' handsome position, so his plan to pry Garnett will be ruined. .
But now, with his painful foot being held in the hands of the opponent, Miller has already thought about it. If Leon’s condition is that he must trade Garnett, Miller will decide to have a dead fish and fight himself. The company cannot start, nor will Fox-Leon succeed in getting Garnett.
"I have a question and a request. As long as you can answer my question and agree to my request, Tripniel's matter will be cancelled." Leon did not take off the peaked cap. Miller could see from under the long brim. When he reached the bottomless eyes, he was now worried that if he refused Leon's request, this guy would smash his nose with a fist. After all, even the NBA players are not his opponents, not to mention that he is a weak agent.
"Okay... OK, just ask and mention it." Miller didn't ask much, nodded and replied, and at the same time he clenched his fist, ready to resist.
"What kind of benefits did you give Poor, and let him give you the news that Joe Johnson was going to be traded?" Leon's question is related to Poor, apparently in the Celtics. Such a spy-like element will be a destabilizing factor for the team.
Miller was stunned when he heard this question. UU read www.uukanshu.com and then his face looked a little embarrassed, but he quickly replied: "I...I didn't give'Popper' anything, no benefit. He was willing to help me take a walk...Well, let's tell you the truth, it was Pope who came to me and said he wanted to help me, saying he wanted to show you some color."
Miller’s answer was far beyond Leon’s expectation. He thought that the two would have money to trade, so that evidence could be found through account exchanges or other clues, and finally pulled out the traitor Popper, but he did not expect He actually offered to offer Miller.
Leon obviously did not expect this result. He did not continue to ask. From Miller's expression, he could judge that the other party did not lie unless he was trained by the CIA.
"Well, the question is over, I want to make a request, you have to promise me." Leon continued, Miller nodded, he was still hesitating whether to refuse the terms related to Garnett.
"My request is to mobilize all of your media relations and continue to spare no effort to discredit me. If you can discredit the Celtics by the way, it would be better." Leon said his request.
This time it was Miller's turn that he never expected. ;
