Chapter 248: Bear hunting

The summer league ended with the Celtics winning all six games and winning the championship. ≧1 Novels﹤≦≦≦≦≦＜＜≦≦≦≦＜In Orlando for more than two weeks, these ordinary young people have established a good friendship, although in the end, except for the two rookies and Dalemport Outside of the Celtics, others including Alexander and Bellman lost the opportunity to play for the Celtics, but this short training camp has become a valuable asset for their basketball career in the future.
Haslem, who was previously favored by Leon, quickly received the Heat's training notice. The native Miami boy will dedicate his career to his hometown.
And Leon finally returned to Boston and his home after busying for nearly a month. Until today, his vacation has officially started. He can accompany Khomeinis and do what he wants to do. Until the peak of free agent signing in August, he can freely control his time. He does not need to participate in various commercial activities or sweat in the training hall like some of the stars of nBa.
This is a vacation that truly belongs to him. In the past few years, he will choose to go to Marshfield with Khomeinis to open a basketball training camp for Auerbach, and he will go to Olympus with Khomeinis Mountain climbing, I can go to the Colorado Grand Canyon with Khomeinis to take a gliding-aircraft, and I can go to Cuba’s deep sea fishing with Khomeinis... But this summer, Khomeinis graduated, and she is in Los Angeles at this time. Because there is a gathering place for free agents in the summer.
At this time, Khomeinis is already a basketball venture capitalist. He funded those not very famous scouts or agents to help them capture the resources of professional players. She started this business for Leon, but now it seems that she likes the job, after all, Paliuca’s blood is flowing in her body.
In the days without Khomeinis company, Leon didn't even know how to rest. He didn't know how to arrange his time, where to go on vacation, what hotel to book, and what kind of transportation. Leon was not such a person in the past, at least not in his previous life. He would take care of everything in order, but now, here, he has become accustomed to Khomeinis to take care of all this. Put all his energy into basketball.
Finally, several Celtic assistant coaches, Siegfried, Dave Cowens, Hess and others, asked Leon to revisit the old place together and head to the Catalan Mountains in Maine for vacation. . But this time is different from the simple camping last time. This time they decided to play more exciting, hunting.
And it's bear hunting.
Every year in the summer and autumn, North American black bears are active. At this time, the sun is full and the food in the forest is abundant. The bears will wander out from the dense forest to find delicious food. On the one hand, Maine is one of the few states in the United States that retains hunting traditions. On the other hand, for the sake of controlling the ecological environment, Maine will equip some bear hunting indicators to control the number of black bears in the Kading Mountain every year. The guy has no natural enemies except humans.
Leon is idle as well. Last year he took his own teaching assistants to travel here to increase his feelings. One season has passed, and each of them has given Leon a great help and formed a bond with Leon. Deep friendship.
Hess, the physical coach, started the hunt for the Karting Mountain this time, and he covered the entire cost and equipment, because Hess is a hunting lover himself. After arriving at the Karting Mountain Hunting Ground, the group spent half a day learning about hunting knowledge, gun guidelines, hunting regulations, and safety issues.
In the afternoon, they took the jeep of the hunting supervisor to the hunting ground of Karting Mountain and started a two-day hunting trip.
Looking at the verdant forests and sharp cliffs of Karting Mountain along the way, the fatigue and pain accumulated in the last season and the offseason were all left behind. Everyone didn’t talk about basketball along the way, nor about the last season. , And did not talk about next season. The old guys are talking about life and the past, while the young ones are talking about how to hunt bears and how to use the special bear hunting bullet to kill the black bear.
Within an hour’s drive, they arrived at the bear hunting ground-the southwest corner of Baxter National Park. This is the most frequent area for black bears. Leon even felt the smell of dangerous beasts when he got out of the car. .
"Perhaps next time in the offseason, I should let my players come here to feel the feeling of oppression and suffocation when facing a beast hidden in unknown places. The two old men are fine, right? Don't worry, I'll let the bear eat me first." Leon said while joking, but thinking that he might encounter a bear here at any time, his hand still clenched the gun.
Although it is possible to hunt bears, the Hunting Association still has strict regulations on the hunting scope of bears. Generally, only adult black bears can be hunted, and black bears that act alone can be hunted for juvenile cubs or female bears with baby bears. It cannot be hunted in dangerous situations.
So a group of people walked a few miles in the forest and encountered black bears several times. It was either a young bear or a baby bear following the mother bear. What everyone can do is to be careful to hide and prevent These bears are in conflict.
The summer day is very long, until four or five o’clock in the afternoon, the sky is still bright, but the sun is slowly setting, and the group of people who have found nothing is a little discouraged. Leon touched the shotgun in his hand, wondering if he could buckle it today. Pull the trigger. He is not a fan of guns, but he couldn't fire a shotgun when he came out. He just shot a few on the training ground, which is really a shame.
At this time, the supervisor reminded everyone that in the evening, some adult male bears may come out to move. The weather was too hot before, and now it is the time when the daylight is getting cooler and the bears are about to start foraging.
The hot weather and two or three hours of walking on foot, coupled with a high degree of nervousness, made Siegfried and Hart a little overwhelmed in their bodies. Although their bones are very good, they are all over sixties after all. Hunting is a very dangerous activity.
At this time, the group came to a lake where the water was clean and transparent. Everyone stopped to drink some water. Dick Hart was sitting on a big rock by the lake. He took off his shoes and put his feet Soak in the lake to cool yourself down. At this time, the supervisor reminded Hart not to take off his shoes. Once in danger, it would be too late to run.
Hart had to shake his feet, preparing to put on shoes and socks.
At this time, the grass behind the boulder groaned. This has happened several times before. It was a hare or a pheasant. Hart didn’t care. Only the supervisor and Leon felt it. Such a movement is impossible. Is it a rabbit or a pheasant!
"Run!" The supervisor yelled at Hart. At this time, a huge black bear appeared behind Hart. This is an adult black bear, very aggressive.
It saw Hart obviously stunned, but immediately opened the fangs with huge canine teeth, the forelimbs lifted off the ground, and leaped towards Hart.
"Bah!" The gun went off, and a huge bear hunting shell passed through the black bear's chest. The huge bear fell directly to the ground, and the blood was slicked out. Some of it flowed into the lake and spread into red blood. .
Hart was still sitting on the big rock, he only felt the bullet flying by grazing his side, it was the touch of death, but it was also the rescue of God.
Time froze for a full ten seconds, the supervisor still reacted, stepped forward to soothe Hart, then went to look at the black bear lying on the ground, after a few seconds he confirmed that this huge North American black bear Was killed by a shot.
And it was Fox Leon who shot.
……………………
In the evening, at the campsite they had visited before, a group of people surrounded the bonfire. Old Hart seemed to have walked out of the afternoon panic. He was talking about his youth.
Hart served in the US Navy Team 6 when he was young, but at that time the Korean War had just ended, he was fortunate not to be sent to the Far East battlefield to face the severe cold of North Korea and the attack of the Chinese Volunteers. After retiring, although his favorite is basketball, he also likes to watch the history of World War II and the history of the American Civil War very much. In his heart, he is still a fighter.
But today's events undoubtedly gave Hart a lot of feeling.
"The first time I felt so close to death, when I felt a huge black bear leaping at me behind my back, I felt like I was dead. Back then when I was training on the beach in Team 6 and there was a real bullet flying over my head. , I didn’t feel so scared. This time... I don’t know if the years are not forgiving, or I haven’t really gotten close to death... Fox, your gun is so fast." Hart said to Leon with a smile~ EbookFREE.me~ His smile was full of admiration and gratitude. He didn’t think that the bullet passed him because Leon didn’t put his life in his eyes. On the contrary, he knew that this was the limit that Leon could achieve. For a novice in firearms.
For Leon, he had encountered something more confusing and unthinkable than this. In retrospect, it is nothing to kill a bear in a critical moment.
"My reaction has always been faster, as you all know." Leon just said lightly, everything seemed to be taken for granted.
"No Fox, you are the most talented gunman I have ever seen. You didn't even aim. You just flung a shot based on your feelings, a god-like shot." Hess couldn't help but sigh. He is a veteran gunner. , But consciously in that situation, let alone pulling the trigger to shoot, he couldn't even raise the gun, after all, Hart was sitting there.
Everyone admired Leon’s calmness and consistent marksmanship. At this time, Hart suddenly said: "Fox, I don’t think I can continue to be the assistant coach of the team next season. You need a new assistant. I am too old. ."
Hart's words made no one think that this well-known defensive coach in the league suddenly wanted to retire after the Celtics got the best defensive materials. (To be continued.)
