The Whip of the God of Basketball

After the opening ceremony in the morning, the children will start group activities under the leadership of volunteers in the afternoon. Before the official start of the training camp tomorrow, the children will be divided into different teams. They want to train more than 30 children Not an easy task, especially in such a small gym.

Khomeinis is the one most loved by children. She is enthusiastic and beautiful, and her red hair looks bright and eye-catching in some old arenas. The parents of the children have already left, some nasty little guys have started to run wild on the wooden floor like wild horses, and some well-behaved children can't bear their curiosity and run around.

Khomeinis and several other volunteers snuck the children together one by one like trying to catch chickens, divided them into groups and arranged them neatly, and waited for Auerbach to lecture the children.

Before the official start of each training camp, Auerbach would chat with the children for a long time. This stingy and harsh old man was very tolerant to the children. He would tell a bunch of stories to these children with basketball dreams. In less than an hour, no matter how wild and unruly a child is, he will be subdued by the bishop, so that tomorrow's training can start smoothly.

However, Khomeinis and her group of volunteers waited for two full hours in the arena with the children. After the ceremony ended and saw Auerbach, Pitino, and Leon enter the office, the three of them have been waiting did not come out.

Danny-Ainge and Maxwell sat in the stands and chatted, from Ainge playing baseball to Maxwell commenting on games, from Maxwell being traded in 1985 to Ainge being fired by the Suns this year, there was nothing new to talk about in the end, Auerbach still didn't come out.

At this time, the children had long been impatient, and one by one began to be restless again, running around, and Khomeinis had to run to Angie and Maxwell, hoping that they could go in and remind Auerbach Get him out sooner.

"It's impossible. I don't dare to disturb the red head when he is busy. He will break my head with a cane and kick me out of the training hall!" Maxwell watched as Khomeinis spread his hands and looked Said helplessly.

Although Maxwell's words were meant as a joke, the fear of Auerbach in his heart was real, so the joke was a joke. After saying this, Maxwell really didn't dare to get up to greet Auerbach, but He turned to look at Danny Ainge.

Compared with Maxwell, Angie has a closer relationship with Auerbach, but Angie also shook his head, and he also didn't want to be in the mold of the Bishop. In particular, Angie knew that Auerbach wanted to give Pitino some flair in the office, and he didn't say that there might have been some disputes between the two sides. Auerbach might be on fire, so Angie didn't dare to go.

Seeing the two people staring at each other indifferently, Khomeinis stomped her feet angrily, turned around and ran to the arena office, ignoring etiquette, and slammed on the door of the office with her fists clenched.

After knocking twice, the door opened with a "squeak", but Khomeinis' fist didn't stop, and directly smashed through.

Khomeinis felt that her hand was suddenly tightly held by a big hand. She looked up, and it was Fox-Leon, who was staring at her expressionlessly. Seeing Leon's eyes, Khomeinis felt her face heat up, she hastily pulled her hand out of Leon's hand, and for a moment she also forgot what she came to knock on the door for.

Leon knew why Khomeinis knocked on the door, and before Khomeinis could speak, he said, "Mr. Auerbach is coming."

Sure enough, Auerbach and Pitino came out after him. Auerbach looked relaxed. The cigar he was holding in his mouth had been neatly cut off the burning butt with a cigar cutter, and was carefully stored in the cigar box. ; and Pitino looked dignified, and at the same time with a trace of trance.

"The red head won." Danny Ainge knew from the expressions of the two. In another confrontation between Auerbach and Pitino, Auerbach won. It seems that he returned to the management of the Celtics The days of layers are not too far away.

Ainge knows that if Auerbach can return to the Celtics management, it means that Danny Ainge is likely to re-employ the Celtics. Danny Ainge, who was originally the head coach of the Suns this season Because of a disagreement with the team's top star Jason Kidd, he finally dismissed get out of class at the end of the season and is now in a state of waiting for employment, otherwise he would not have time to go to Auerbach's children's basketball training camp.

It’s just that Angie doesn’t know why Auerbach let the black-haired cleaner into the office, and what kind of relationship he has with Pitino. For two hours, Auerbach and Pitino What role did Nuo play in the contest.

Compared with Angie's ghostly thoughts, Maxwell is much simpler. He has already stepped down from the stands and came to the children, ready to mingle with the children with Auerbach, which is a job he is good at.

Soon, everything returned to the normal track. Auerbach dropped his old smoking gun in front of the children, put down his iron-blooded and rough posture, and became gentle and amiable. He changed out of the old-fashioned black suit and put on He wore a light white casual blouse, a pair of wide-leg pants and a pair of white sneakers. This attire makes Auerbach, who is in his eighties, look energetic.

Order in the arena was quickly established. Compared with those volunteers who were scrambling to catch chickens, Auerbach was obviously an experienced old shepherd. With a few simple actions, a few simple words, a simple The game attracted the children's attention together, and the children fell silent all of a sudden, sitting around Auerbach, like grandsons listening to their grandfather telling stories.

At this time, Leon found a corner of the stand and sat down alone. While watching Auerbach as the king of children, he recalled what the old man had said to him three minutes ago.

"If I ever get a chance to go back to my place, I want you to come with me."

This is what Auerbach said to Leon after everything was over. It was simple and straightforward. The old man's behavior and language style were very much to Leon's liking. They were both straightforward people.

Leon doesn't quite understand what Auerbach means, because he doesn't understand the complicated changes the Celtics have experienced in recent years, as well as the team's internal situation that is about to come. It's just that he knows that if he follows Auerbach, he will undoubtedly have a job related to basketball.

basketball.

Leon never thought that he would have something to do with this thing, let alone engage in related work, a sport, or a game.

Leon couldn't think clearly about the memory of his previous life, except for the drunkenness before time travel, his name, and some simple information about himself.

But one thing Leon can be sure of is that he used to be a person who had nothing to do with sports. God gave him a smart mind, so he would not give him a strong body. Basketball, or any kind of sport, is the same as in his previous life. It doesn't matter to him.

In this body, although Fox-Leon is a boxer, he is only forced to embark on this pathetic path by life. Boxing is not a love for Leon at all, and what it brings to Leon is only Injuries, deceit and the trampling of dignity.

Leon looked at his hand, there was still a layer of calluses on it. At the same time, if a careful person stared at Leon for a while, he would find that his nose was slightly crooked, and there was a slight scar at the corner of his right eye. These were all from boxing. imprint left.

Leon looked at Auerbach and the group of children again. Now they each had a basketball in their hands. The volunteers dragged out the small blackboard from the office and placed it in the center of the court. Auerbach began to draw on the blackboard with chalk. Scribbling, he was giving the children their first basketball theory lesson: what is basketball.

"What's basketball, kids?" Auerbach asked. He paused to look at the kids, who all stared at him with wide-eyed eyes, looking left and right at each other without knowing how to answer.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry kids, I don't know either. For different people, this little ball has different meanings, a way of exercising, a tool for eating, a leisurely game or a boring pastime. When When you grow up, everyone will get their own answers about basketball. But now I want to tell you that basketball is my life to me." Auerbach licked his lips and said.

A very old man with white hair began to lecture on his basketball life to a group of young children with childish faces. Perhaps the children could not understand many things that Auerbach said, and some things they did not understand. I will definitely remember, but the meaning of basketball in their hearts must be completely different from the original, and a seed is also planted in their hearts.

Auerbach is like a preacher, using plain language and vivid stories to preach basketball.

"Hey! What were you doing there just now?" Khomeinis sat next to Leon at some point and asked curiously.

His thoughts were interrupted, and Leon turned his head to look at Khomeinis. This time, Khomeinis did not lower her head shyly, but stared straight at Leon, not afraid of his deep sea-like eyes .

"In it, I proved to Mr. Pitino that there is a God in this world." Leon replied.

Khomeinis didn't know whether Leon was joking or telling the truth. She wanted to ask again, but Leon made a silencing motion with his hand, then turned his head and ignored her. Like those children, he continued to listen carefully to Auerbach's storytelling.

After a while, it was Leon's turn to ask Khomeinis a question. He turned to Khomeinis and said, "Tell me, why do you like basketball? Is it really so interesting?"

Khomeinis rolled her eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, it's very interesting, it's fun, it can make you happy, it can make you sad, it can make you satisfied, and it can also make you sad. It makes you happy. Crazy about it, makes you bear with it. If you love it, you won't be alone until you're eighty."

Leon nodded after hearing this, and responded, "I hope what you said is right."
