Chapter 21: Old driver

　　 The next morning, Leon woke up at more than five o'clock, and today he will go to the Celtics headquarters to visit the team’s development director Michael Carr to get his first job after entering this time and space.
　　 After a brief wash in the bathroom, Leon did not wake Khomeinis, of course he didn't know that Khomeinis hadn't fallen asleep almost all night.
　　 When he got downstairs, Leon found two pieces of clothing scattered on the sofa in the living room, one was a woman's red shawl, and the other was a man's sports jacket. Leon looked at the door again and found two more pairs of shoes. It seemed that Khomeinis' roommate had returned in the middle of the night.
　　 Leon went to the kitchen and made himself a chicken sandwich. He also made one for Khomeinis by the way, and fried an egg in the pan and added it.
　　 Before leaving, Leon left a note on the table to express his gratitude to Khomeinis for staying one night, and told Khomeinis that he would contact her again after he had a job in the Celtics.
After 　　, Leon packed himself up and went out to the Boston Celtics headquarters, the Celtics building at 226 Causeway Avenue.
　　 With the last dozen dollars in his pocket, Leon stopped a taxi and headed to the location of the Celtic Building, the North District of Boston.
　　………………
The North District of Boston is not an area corresponding to the South District, but a place name of Boston. The so-called "North-end" is the northeast corner of the entire Boston Old Town, located at the confluence of the Boston Strait and the Charles River. On a piece of delta.
　　 This is the most famous area in Boston. It not only has the oldest urban buildings in the United States, but also a beautiful port, Quincy Market with restaurants and cafes. Of course, the former home of the Boston Celtics, Boston Garden Plaza and the latest arena North Shore Garden are also built in the North-end, where the best parts of Boston's history and life are gathered.
The taxi driver drove the car on the Storo ring road and drove east along the Charles River. Leon sat in the taxi and looked at the Charles River, which became wider and wider as the river approached the sea from west to east. , I can't help but feel cheerful.
　　 After two months, his life finally started to improve. The trouble with the underworld seems to not bother him for the time being, because he spent two months of prison life completely cut off from his past self, and his friends, women, enemies and even relatives disappeared from his life. Everything started from scratch, and now his zero is finally about to take the first step.
"It turned out to be basketball... I never thought about doing basketball-related jobs." Leon said with emotion. Originally, his expectation was to be in the same business as his previous life, engaged in finance, although he is now Physical education and age are very, very difficult, but as long as one's intelligence and knowledge are still there, these are not problems.
　　 or Leon also hopes that he can work in psychology, because he really wants to find his own memory, if he can, he hopes to return to China with the memory and the hometown of his soul.
　　 But at present, it seems that he is walking further and further on another road, just as the taxi sitting in it is speeding towards the Celtic headquarters.
Just when Leon was wandering, the driver spoke. This was a bookish-looking driver with glasses. He half turned his head and asked Leon: "Sir, are you a Celtic employee? Your team’s situation is not very good."
　　 It seems that the other party regards himself as a Celtic employee, but if I can get a job there, then I will naturally be a Celtic employee.
　　 So Leon nodded slightly, whether he was a cleaner or a porter after he went?
Seeing Leon nodding his head, the driver suddenly got excited, and kept asking Leon what kind of work does the Celtics do. In the end Leon really had no choice but to say: "This is my first day to work for the Celtics. I was introduced by someone else, and I don’t know what I will do there."
　　 The driver heard an expression of understanding, but this did not make him shut up, instead he opened the chatterbox.
It turns out that this driver has been a Celtics fan since he was a child. He is 39 years old this year. He has been watching basketball games with his father since the end of the Celtics First Dynasty in 1969. He has been since the first time he walked into Boston Garden Plaza. Become a Celtics fan, because the atmosphere on the scene is simply awesome.
After that, he accompanied the Celtics through 30 years of ups and downs. He grew up from a yellow-haired boy to an uncle, and witnessed the Celtics' strength in the seventies, the glory of the eighties and the nineties. Lonely, my current preference is to talk about basketball and Celtics in a taxi.
"Are you a Bostonian? Do you remember the 1987 final with the Pistons? Oh, you should have been a teenager at that time? I was married at the time and took my wife and my daughter to the garden to watch the game. In five games, you must know that we were behind and the Pistons still had the ball. Then Bird broke the ball! I was holding my daughter and almost threw her out! Hahahaha!" Speaking of Byrd's The Steal of the Century in 1987, he was still full of joy, almost dancing.
　　 Leon had to sweat to remind him to pay attention to clenching the steering wheel.
　　 "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I'm sorry..." The driver apologized embarrassedly.
It seems that this driver is very familiar with the Celtics’ team history and players. Leon took a closer look at him. He was indeed around 40. His head started to fall, a punch was left in the middle of the yellow hair, and the hair on the right sideburn. It's still tilted, it looks like a rough guy. Wearing a beige casual wear with narrow shoulders and a big belly, it seems that he has not exercised for a long time.
　　 Leon couldn’t help asking curiously: "Do you like playing basketball?"
Hearing Leon’s question, I was so proud that I was so proud of the Celtic history that the driver master stopped talking, his expression was a bit embarrassed, and he smiled and said, "I...I've never played basketball. You don't I know that if I go to the court, it will be a disaster. My sports have been very poor since I was a child and I can only be a spectator."
　　 Leon shook his head and said, "Then why do you like basketball so much? How can you appreciate his fun if you don't play by yourself."
Hearing what Leon said, the driver became a little excited. He raised his voice eight degrees and said, "Why don't you experience the fun of basketball without playing? Playing in person and watching it as a spectator has a different meaning! It is because I am a sports idiot that I love to sit on the sidelines and watch those geniuses perform. I still remember when I was very young, I dreamt of standing on the garden floor and playing for the Celtics. Later I found that I’m not that piece of material at all. However, I still love basketball, the Celtics, the feeling of watching the game on the sidelines, and the joy after winning. Tell you, the people who watch the game are as important as the people who play. This is the reason for the charm and growth of basketball!"
Leon was speechless when the driver said something. He was also a sports idiot in his previous life. Although his body is a boxer now, he is still a bit repulsive of sports. I don’t know why a group of people are running around. .
"The pupils dilated, the neck became red, the blood vessels became thick and exposed, and the heartbeat should have increased by 30%. It seemed very excited." Leon looked at the driver and thought in his heart. The driver's words undoubtedly touched him, because from his His expression looks serious.
　　 He asked Khomeinis a similar question and got a similar answer. Leon couldn't understand this feeling. He thought maybe in the days to come, he must feel what it feels like.
Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Leon suddenly remembered Michael Carl mentioned by Auerbach. He asked Leon to go to the Celtic headquarters to find him, but he didn’t know anything about Carl so far. He asked the taxi driver: "Do you know Michael Carl?"
The driver lifted his eyes and smiled and said, "Are you testing me? Michael Carr, of course I know, ML Carr, Michael Leon Carr, the towel master on the bench, UU reading www.uukanshu.com It is the player who can contribute the most to the team on the bench among NBA players! Of course I am not sarcastic. He really swings the towel very well, and he is very tough. Oh, of course, the Celtics are all players. He is a tough guy. Also, his free throws in Game 5 of the 1981 Eastern Conference Finals were also very important, when we were almost going home."
　　 The old driver regained his enthusiasm when he mentioned the Celtics’ old players, but Leon didn’t care about Karl’s past, but Karl’s present.
"Now Carl, he seems to have his own business in Alabama, and he is also the head of the Celtics development department, who is mainly responsible for the evaluation and discovery of new players. Of course I heard, just hearsay, Kay The true power of the Alters to discover new players lies in the hands of their player Lyon Popper...and their relationship..."
　　 The driver master obviously not only knows the past history of the Celtics, but also knows a little bit about the current gossip. It seems that he is a hard-core Celtic fan.
　　 Just when the driver finished talking about these gossips, the car had arrived at the Celtic headquarters, a red building located on Causeway Avenue, and not far from it was the Celtics’ home stadium, North Shore Garden Arena.
When he got off the bus, the driver waived Leon’s fare. Before leaving, he said to Leon: "Come on, kid, I hope you can make a little contribution to the rise of the Celtics! Even if you are a cleaner, in the future, Kyle If the special person becomes stronger, you also deserve your credit, so my fare will not be waived!"
After 　　 finished, he stepped on the accelerator and left. Only Leon stood there and thought silently: Am I really so like a cleaner?
