Jasco Maintenances immediately recognized the person in front of him. He was the legendary coach of the NBA, the former Celtics scout, assistant coach, and head coach, and the new head coach of the Suns, Fox Leon.
I was very impressed by this coach Jascowitz, because since he came to the Pacers, he knew that the Pacers were shrouded in the shadow of Leon and his Celtics from beginning to end. Finally he left in the summer of 2006, Kevin Garnett was reimbursed, the Pacers saw hope, and then sent himself to the Western Warriors.
"Let me guess, do you want me to join the Suns? Oh, come on, I don’t want to waste time in the NBA anymore. If I changed it to a year ago, maybe I would be interested in joining the Suns, but look at me in the Warriors. . You can say that I am not capable, well, even if I am not capable of being suitable for the NBA, I still want to go back to Europe. I am 30 years old and I want to play!" Leon just said hello, what Without saying anything, Jascowitz sent an unknown fire at Leon.
After listening to Jasco Repairs venting, Leon said nothing, just handed him a cup of coffee and said, "The coffee is a bit cold. I will order it for you when I came."
Jasco Weiss touched the coffee cup that Leon handed over. It was really cold. It seemed that he had been waiting for him for a long time. He immediately felt sorry for his anger and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be to you. Get angry, you're just... sorry, I'm really sorry, I want to go back to Europe."
Without giving Leon any opportunity to speak, Jasco México directly stated that he wanted to return to Europe. During this time, he had already rejected the invitations of several NBA teams to him. It seems that the European king is the best in the world. Iron hearted.
Leon smiled, did not persuade, but picked up the newspaper in his hand, pointed to the cover and asked, "What do you think is the difference between Manu and you?"
Manu is Manu Ginobili, the Argentine eagle and one of the most successful foreign players in the NBA. Known as Jordan White, he is one of the league's best and most enchanting guards.
This question has been asked many times, because he is often regarded as a failure of international players to compare with Ginobili. However, seeing Leon's sincere attitude, Jascowiz still held back his patience and said: "Manu's style of play is completely different from mine. He is very imaginative and can always play incredible balls. And I, It's pretty good, but my three-pointers are better, and my passing will be underestimated."
Leon nodded and said, "Have you ever thought about why there are players like Manu in a team like the Spurs?"
"There are always exceptions, flowers are always supported by green leaves." Jascowiz said.
"Yes, so you can't get good results in the Pacers. The style of playing there is more boring than you. But why can't you do in the Warriors? It's unrestrained and fast there." Leon asked again. Tao.
Jasko Repairs had been led by Leon and continued: "The Warriors are fast, but they are more solo fighters. Everyone is strong and fast, and the individual is very strong. Old Nelson gave Our guide is, if there is a chance in front of you and your teammates have a better chance, then you'd better shoot, because when you pass the pass, the better chance may disappear. And you know, I It's not fast. I can't keep up on the defensive end. I can't defend Dirk like Stephen Jackson."
Leon couldn't help but smile when Jasco Weiss reiterated what old Nelson said, and laughed happily. Seeing Leon smile like this, Jascowitz couldn't help but laughed, but the two sat in their seats and laughed for five minutes.
After laughing, Leon didn’t say much, he just handed his business card to Jasco Repairs, and finally said:
In the past there was a point guard in Dallas. He was 30 years old and he had poor defense. The game performance was terrible. His boss didn’t want to renew his contract, so he came to the Suns. Now he is a two-time mVP winner. Of course, his defense is still very poor. You know, Phoenix is a very magical place, Phoenix, Rebirth in the fire will be more brilliant."
After speaking, Leon left the cafe, leaving Jascowitz sitting there alone in deep thought, and on the table there was the newspaper left by Leon, "The San Antonio Spurs won the 2007 NBA. The championship, Tony Parker became the first foreign FmVP in NBA history."
……………………
From the coffee shop, Leon went straight to the San Francisco Airport. In fact, recruiting Jasco Maintenances was not his most important task. On the contrary, it was a relatively minor task. While the entire Suns are busy preparing for the new season, Leon also needs to recruit for his coaching staff.
Unlike in the past, Auerbach arranged manpower for himself. After the sun, everything needs to be arranged by Leon himself. However, Leon’s goal this time is very clear. He is not prepared to communicate with the famous assistant coaches one by one, nor is he ready to seek help from Steve Kerr-in his opinion, Kerr is not going to help. . Leon's idea is very simple, get the Suns' original head coach D'Antoni, and then keep the Suns' past assistant coaching team intact.
There may be one more assistant coach, that is D'Antoni, anyway, Leon is not a manager who has never made the original head coach an assistant coach.
When meeting with Cole and the boss in Phoenix before, D'Antoni did not show up. The main members of the Suns assistant coaching staff, such as Dan D'Antoni and Gentry, have a good relationship with D'Antoni. If you can get Mike -D'Antoni, they will definitely stay in the sun.
Moreover, Leon also hopes that D'Antoni will stay, so that he can work easier.
Arriving at the San Francisco Airport, Leon boarded the plane to Virginia, and he was going to D'Antoni's home to visit the head of the solar feat. Before going, Leon wrote a letter to D'Antoni, clarifying his thoughts, and told D'Antoni that he would visit his home a few days after the finals.
In the past few years, Leon’s personality has changed a lot, especially in his married life and the birth of his daughter. His personality has been more tender and soft, and a lot less cold. And more than a year of teaching college basketball career, so that he has a deeper understanding of basketball, the role of coaching.
The reason why he chose the Phoenix Suns is not just because he owes Steve Kerr a championship. This choice contains his new ideas and concepts for basketball. In the years of the Boston Celtics, he almost achieved the ultimate defense, especially in 2005, the terrible "Boston Wall" almost made the entire league desperate, almost reaching the point of "ultimate defense".
Their game against the Spurs in the Finals set the lowest scoring record in the history of the NBA Finals, and the widely watched Kevin Garnett vs. Tim Duncan finally turned into a fight for iron. The pinnacle player ~EbookFREE.me~ has never averaged more than 20 points per game. And this round of finals created the lowest ratings record for the NBA Finals in the past ten years, and compared with the 2004 Lake Kai battle, it formed a cliff-like decline.
Of course Leon can’t manage that much. He continued his strategy in 2006, but this year Arenas and Dior left, the Celtics suffered injuries, the team encountered many problems, and finally relied on Paul Pierce’s personal ability and Kevin Garnett, who was dragging his leg, struggled to win the Heat. Then in the finals, Leon easily played Johnson, who lacked adaptability, and achieved three consecutive championships.
However, after finishing three consecutive championships and lighting a cigar, Leon felt tired and empty. Then Kevin Garnett was reimbursed for the season of surgery. Then Angie wanted to send Michael Reid away. PJ Brown announced that he would be in Retired in 2007. The most deadly blow was Auerbach's death in October 2006. Leon's spiritual pillar in Boston collapsed.
Finally he chose to leave and chose to go to college to find the beauty of basketball. In school, he met a group of lovely basketball youths and harvested the fruits of his marriage. Now his ambition is rekindled.
