Chapter 186: return

On the night of March 7, 2003, Paul Pierce went to Boston with his lover Rebecca Blazer after the Celtics' home game against the Los Angeles Clippers in Boston. The "Night Crawler" bar, where they had an informal engagement celebration. . шщш.㈦㈨ⅹS.сом is updated quickly. Pierce did not appear on the court tonight. He missed two games due to a groin strain. However, the Celtics defeated the Los Angeles Clippers at home. They suppressed the Clippers' score to only 70 points, which is close. For the third time in ten games, they suppressed the opponent's score below 70.
Therefore, the failure to participate in the competition did not affect Pierce’s mood. He and Rebecca met in high school and were together in college. They have been in love for eight years. In the eighth year Pierce finally decided to give Rui Becca walked into the hall of marriage with her, and settled down with her in the city of Boston.
Pierce’s teammates all came to the night field. The night game did not make the players tired and unable to move. The young people were still full of energy. In addition, there are many friends of Pierce, as well as other sports people in the'Boston area, such as the Red Sox pitcher who loves nightclub life." 79 Novels.com, m. Wei-Wells, familiar with The familiars got together and had a lively party in the "Nightcrawler" bar.
Pierce did not forget Leon. He heard that Leon had returned to Boston the day before, but he did not show up in the training hall. He tried to call Leon and hope he could also attend the party, but Leon Ang's phone could not be reached.
In the past month, Celtic players have not been able to see Leon again in'Boston, but every night there are players who receive calls from Leon to talk to them about today's training or game. Ang knows almost everything, as if he stayed by the players and didn't leave.
The same is true for Paul Pierce. When he learned that Leon was not only going to be suspended but also asked to leave, he thought Leon was about to leave the Celtics completely. He was the first of all to call Leon to ask about the situation. But after getting the guarantee that Leon will not leave the team, he also let go of his heart and concentrate on the season.
In the eyes of Celtics players, Leon is a very special coach, not because of his coaching style or special background, but because he grew up with these players, especially young players, for three years. It is neither long nor short. The young people of the Green Army watched this scout who picked him become the head coach step by step. The emotion is not comparable to that of a coach who suddenly arrived in the air.
What's more, before the tournament, Leon's series of moves have won the hearts of the players. Invite everyone to a house party and fight for the players on the court. For this group of fledgling boys, there is nothing more emotional than this kind of behavior.
At the engagement banquet, more than one person asked Pierce why coach Leon hadn’t come. Pierce had to keep explaining,
I can’t get through his phone. You can try.

The party continued until the early morning, and everyone was very happy. But Pierce didn't drink a drop of alcohol. At this point, Pierce and the other players are still very self-made. Gambling is rare now, everyone just chats, sings, dances, and picks up girls. When Pierce was having fun, a waiter came. Holding a big bottle of champagne in his hand, he handed it to Pierce and said, "This is an engagement gift given to you by a guest. Please accept it."
Pierce took a look at the bottle. It was a bottle of Roland Baiyue, a luxurious French champagne. A bottle should cost more than 900 dollars. Pierce asked, "Do you know who he is?" The waiter shook his head and said, "He said he was your ball.' fan'."
"Thank him for me!" Pierce said, putting the champagne aside. He was not ready to drink this bottle of wine at a party, not to mention that he didn't dare to open anything sent by a stranger. He had to take it home and check it carefully. Say it again.
In this way, Pierce had a wonderful engagement party, and then he drove back to his apartment with his fiancee. After returning, he opened this bottle of champagne with Rebecca. Indeed, this is a very good bottle of wine. The vintage is just right and the quality is also very good. Pierce and his lover drank two glasses together and put the rest in the refrigerator. . Pierce still wondered who gave him such a good bottle of wine. If you can see him, you must thank him.
The next day, on March 8, Pierce got up early. After washing, he got on his Mercedes-Benz S600 and went to the training base Waltham, because today will be the first day after Leon’s suspension. , Tomorrow the Celtics will face the powerful San Antonio Spurs at home, Pierce is eager for effective training today.
Since Leon left, the Celtics can no longer complete off-ball simulation training. Pierce can feel that the team's offense is obviously not as smooth as before, and the tacit understanding between players is decreasing. Of course, this is also related to the strategy of acting coach Cowens, the team began to focus on defense, more use of slow positions to attack and wear opponents. In the current league where Handcheck is still prevalent, defense is still advantageous. Even with the addition of the three-second defense rule, once both sides fall into position, it is still difficult for the offensive side, especially for teams that lack powerful attack points inside.
Only the second quick attack implemented by Leon can effectively evade the power of Handcheck, allowing outside players to fully speed up the attack. Now players like Arenas, Reid and Williams miss Leon so much, and hope that his return can bring the team back to the tactical track of the past. Although Cowens led the team with very good results.
However, in these 15 games coached by Cowens, the Celtics have not gnawed a hard bone. They suffered a disastrous defeat against the Sacra "Mentor" Kings, and also lost to the not-so-strong Houston Rockets. Except for the Pacers, the opponents under the team are all teams outside the threshold of the playoffs. Faced with teams that lack strength, the Celtics can rely on offensive talent and Dick Hart's strong defense to solve their opponents, but there is no sign that they can fight the league's top teams.
And when Leon’s suspension ends, the Celtics will face strong enemies. The Spurs will be the first level. The Nets, Pistons, and Lakers will all come to the door. Some critics are also secretly waiting. So, after watching Fox Leon return to the Celtics, if they lose to those powerful players and cause the team's record to decline, then Leon can't escape anyway and be scolded.
In this way, Pierce went on the road with a mess of thoughts in his mind. It didn’t take long for him to leave. When he just drove to Newberry Street, he stopped at a red light in front of him. At this time, a policeman came and knocked. His car'door'. Pierce was a little surprised. It was not a good thing to be knocked on the'door' by the police in the United States, but Pierce opened the window and recognized that this was the police officer Pete Kalimra in the neighborhood. Pierce knew him.
"Hello, Officer Kalimra, do you want to take a ride?" Pierce joked to the officer.
But the tall, shy police officer did not smile on his face. Instead, he leaned down and said to Pierce with a cold face: "Paul, one of my subordinates saw you at Nightcrawler last night, and the waiter gave it to you. A large bottle of champagne. Then, at night, you drove away from the night scene. You know that Boston drunk driving is very strict. He didn't wear a police uniform yesterday, so he didn't bother you. You'd better pay attention to it in the future. "
After listening to the police officer, Pierce shook his head and said loudly: "Someone gave me a bottle of champagne, but I didn't open it at all! I only drank two sips after I got home. How could I drive while drinking?"
But Officer Kalimla didn’t want to listen to Pierce’s explanation~EbookFREE.me~ At this time, the red light had turned to green, and the car behind was anxiously honking the horn. Pierce deserves to release the brakes. Driving forward, he could see Officer Kalimla's cold eyes in the rearview mirror. In the United States, it is not a good thing to be targeted by the police. Their violence and solidarity in law enforcement are well known worldwide.
"Fu-ck!" Pierce couldn't help but swear in the car. He encountered such a bad thing early in the morning. There have been a lot of negative news about Pierce in the media recently, mostly about his love to go to bars and nightclubs. Thing. In fact, these are old things. Since the assassination, Pierce has rarely gone to such places, and he has to go to familiar places. I don't know why these things were dug up again.
When Pierce arrived at Waltham’s training hall, several cars had been parked in the parking lot. It seemed that someone had arrived earlier, and Pierce also saw Leon’s car. He walked into the training hall and heard the sound of basketball. He went into the locker room to change his clothes and walked onto the training ground. Sure enough, he saw Fox Leon. He was standing by the side of the court. Pierce hadn't seen him for a month.
He stepped forward to greet Leon, but when he walked in front of Leon, he couldn't help stopping. He looked at Leon and said, "Oh... Fox, you... what's wrong with you?" ;
