Chapter 314: aims

With the end of the last game between the Celtics and the Detroit Pistons, the 2003-2004 regular season season, the Celtics’ journey has ended. They achieved a record of 66 wins and 16 losses, which is after the 67 in 1986. After the victory and 68 wins in 1973, he achieved the third best record in the regular season. At the same time, this is the 12th time in Celtics history that they have achieved more than 60 wins in a single season.
The Celtics have also become the king of the regular season without any suspense. Not surprisingly, all major awards will go to Boston. After the wasted last season and the shocking summer trade, the Celtics finally bloomed brilliant flowers.
However, whether these many beautiful flowers can bear heavy fruits requires a more brutal schedule, at least in the eyes of fans and reporters. Even if the Detroit Pistons were completely blocked with a shocking defense in the final game of the regular season, many people still think that this is just a regular season and does not explain many problems.
Indeed, people have countless examples that can prove this statement. For example, in 1998, the Chicago Bulls faced the Jazz in the regular season and both battles, but in the finals they defeated the Jazz again to win the championship, and completed the third game of the regular season. A massacre. There was also the 1995 Rockets. The death of the Magic in the regular season was terrible, and the finals were swept away.
In short, in the NBA with a long history, except for a comeback from 0:3 behind, no matter what the situation, you can always find examples to prove your point of view, and can always add a little pessimistic prediction to the bright future or give an uncertain future. Add some optimistic expectations.
This is no exception for the Celtics, but only those who have experienced it firsthand have experienced 82 regular season games, experienced last year’s finals, experienced the team’s running-in, progress and hard work, and experienced many different Only those who know the details can get rid of those who seem to be similar, but in fact have no internal connection experience, and truly see the fate of the team.
……………………
After finishing the regular season game, the Celtics got a three-day break. Leon decided to let the players relax a little, so on April 15th, he took the whole team to the Atlantic Ocean on a yacht to go fishing.
The Atlantic Ocean in April was still a bit gray and cold. The Celtics team took Kevin Garnett’s yacht from Boston Harbor to go fishing in the Atlantic Ocean. Today’s weather is good, with white and huge cumulonimbus clouds floating in the light blue sky, like big white camellia flowers. The waves are not high, the wind is very comfortable on the face, and there is still a smell of sea when they just set off.
As the yacht gradually moved away from the coast, the smell of the sea was less, more of a salty taste, and the wind gradually increased.
This yacht was bought by Garnett after he came to Boston. It is also his third yacht. This is a high-end yacht specially ordered from the United Kingdom. It can not only wander offshore, but also sail far away from the coast. Can withstand large enough wind waves and bad weather.
This time, Garnett also hired a group of professional deep-sea fishing experts and ship experts to travel with the cruise ship. This is not a high-end party on a yacht after the regular season ends. It ends when you eat and drink on the shore. It is a deep sea fishing, an activity that truly belongs to men. Concubine, the unfeeling killer
"Pay attention to the weather. If it doesn't work, we will return in time. I don't want the league's biggest favorite to win the championship before the start of the playoffs. The Boston Celtics, the league's number one, ended their championship prematurely because of a ship accident. Brigade.
In the cab, Fox Leon reminded the driver Jimmy Darren to pay attention to the weather. As the head coach, he still needs to be responsible for the safety of the players. At this time, he doesn't want to make big news.
After confirming that the weather is safe, the boat temporarily berthed in the sea with a water depth of more than 80 meters. It has left the coastline area, and some larger fish can be caught here.
The professional fishing team provided guidance to the Celtics players, distributed bait, and gave everyone a ruler with a length marking and the names of some common fish species. If you catch some smaller fish, juvenile The fish must be released back into the sea.
Compared with basketball, fishing is an extremely quiet sport, but at the same time there is an undercurrent in the extremely quiet, which will explode when the fish is hooked, especially sea fishing.
Leon is considered a half-fishing enthusiast. This season, he has completely avoided gambling and devoted more time to fishing and sea fishing. The kind of calmness, calmness and calmness, but it will even break out in an instant. It felt like he was coaching on the sidelines of the NBA. At the same time, a long period of silent thinking will enable him to better summarize and plan the team's training and competition.
Before the start of the playoffs, Leon hopes to participate in a fishing session, which will not only relax the players, but also make everyone excited and prepare for the real battle.
Leon came down from the driver's cab to the first floor. Arenas, Garnett, Dalembert and Anderson stayed in the stern. They had nothing to gain after hanging for a long time. Arenas said it was better to shoot with a fishing rod than with a gun. The more effective. Pierce, Reid, Bell, and Posey stayed on the bow. Reid and Bell had gained a little. Reid caught a mackerel, and Bell also caught a cod, but they returned to the sea because the length was not up to standard. .
On the side of the boat, Dior, Wang Zhizhi, and Brown are together. These three people are real fishing masters. Dior wore sunglasses and a white felt hat, and he caught fish one after another. Although Wang Zhizhi had no basis in fishing, he was able to endure a lot. As for Brown, he was a master fisherman, he even hung up. A big lobster, because he will choose bait.
Alston and Strickland are on the other side, and the two enjoy fishing for all kinds of strange things, such as turtles, sea hares, and starfish.
"Coach Leon, I heard that you also like fishing, why not try it?" Carson, the fishing coach Garnett invited, watched Leon just watching the players fishing, and asked without moving, and at the same time handed him one. A fishing rod.
Leon took the fishing rod and said,
It’s still too close to the coastline. I like to go to the farther sea to fish.
Leon said he took the fishing rod, but he didn’t seem to like the hanging rod. Some rods are too thin and too short.
After two hours of fishing in 80-meter-deep waters, the group of people ate lunch and then started to move further to the sea. They sailed toward the southeast. According to the sonar's positioning, there were fish gatherings there. Mission system in the arena
Sail to an area with a water depth of 400 meters, which is close to the edge of the continental shelf. It is an area full of sea nutrients and plankton. There will be many large schools of fish, and there will also be large fish that prey on small fish.
When he got here, Leon was finally ready to go fishing. He used his own big sea fishing rod. He tied the squid on the hook, fixed the sinker and float and started to move down. He wanted the cab to maintain a certain speed and drive slowly toward the southwest. Carson knew that Leon might want to catch a big fish.
Arenas and other unproductive guys have put away their fishing rods and ran to the deck chairs on the second deck to enjoy the afternoon sea breeze and black tea, while Leon was standing on the bow of the boat, the wind blowing his hair all around drift.
Suddenly Leon felt it on his hands. He knew it was a big fish, a big fish.
"Go north, go north! Turn the rudder to the north!" Leon yelled towards the cab. When Darren heard it, he immediately turned the rudder, shocking Arenas and Garnett who were drinking tea on the second floor. Almost turned it out.
Leon began to rewind and unwind the line continuously, and the boom was pulled almost into a three-quarter circle, but the material of the boom was extremely tough, and Leon's arm was also extremely tough.
Slowly, the players gathered to the bow. Leon had been fighting the fish in the bow for almost half an hour. No one knew when the battle would end. But it seemed that Leon had no intention of giving up. He kept pulling, retracting, and directing Dylan to circle. Slowly everyone found that the circle of the ship was getting smaller and smaller~EbookFREE.me~ The speed was increasing. The slower.
A full hour passed and everything was finally over. Leon caught a 2.6 meters long bluefin tuna weighing 201 kg!
When several people put the big guy on the yacht, everyone was shocked. This guy was longer and heavier than the tallest Celtics Dalembert.
Leon felt that his arm was going to be scrapped. This was indeed the biggest fish he had ever caught.
After taking the photo, Leon said to everyone, "Throw this fish back into the sea. Although he is tired, I think he is still alive."
Everyone didn't understand Leon's decision. To catch such a big fish, but the pride of any angler can brag about a lifetime experience.
But Leon insisted on releasing the fish that had fought him for an hour, and then he said to all the Celtics players on the boat: "I did an incredible thing, didn't I? Then I want to The same is true for us in the playoffs. Our goal is not only to be champions, but to be higher. I want to quote a vow made by a senior. If someone asks our goal for the playoffs, I will tell Him: fo, fo, fo, fo"
Two days later, at the pre-match press conference at North Shore Garden Arena, a reporter asked Kevin Garnett what their goal in the playoffs was. Garnett hesitated and stared at the reporter. , Said in a calm, southern accent language: "fo, fo, fo, fo." (To be continued.)
