The Whip of the God of Basketball

On the morning of September 13th, the special plane of the Celtics arrived in Boston. When he got off the plane, Leon could smell the smoke in the Boston air. A large group of reporters waited around the airport, and their goal was the team's general manager, Chris Wallace.

As the general manager of the Celtics, Chris Wallace does not enjoy the highest power in team management. For three years, he was just the executor of Pitino's will, and a team that focused on pioneering. Senior scout in overseas free agency.

Just overnight, Chris Wallace temporarily came to the highest position in the Celtics management. He was not in Boston last night when Pitino dismissed get out of class, but went to San Antonio to watch the game with the team. The results of the game were satisfactory. The Boston Celtics destroyed the Spurs twin towers with 11 three-pointers at the Alamo Dome, but Duncan only played 19 minutes, and David Robinson only appeared in the first quarter. The hero of the Celtics is Michael Reid, who showed his strength by hitting 5 three-pointers alone.

But it doesn't matter now, it's just an insignificant preseason game. The reporters have extended their microphones to Chris Wallace, hoping that as the general manager of the team, he can make a contribution to Pitino's sudden collapse. Let me give some explanations, after all, he was once the general manager who was single-handedly promoted by Pitino.

"I'm sorry, I can't explain everything until I return to the team... I'm sorry I don't know, I'm sorry this afternoon I think we will have a press conference, don't ask any more, I don't know." Facing the entanglement of reporters , Wallace can only use these prevarications to explain. Because he himself didn't recover from the news of Pitino's dismissal, as if the superstar in the team was traded and he, the general manager, didn't know it at all.

Everything came very suddenly. The Celtics were still playing against the Spurs. Wallace was sitting in the audience because he needed to observe a few fringe players, so he worked tirelessly to come to San Antonio with the team. In the third quarter of the game, he received a text message on his mobile phone from Michael Carr, the team's president of operations, saying that Pitino was out of class and would soon leave the Celtics.

After returning to the hotel, Wallace did not sleep well all night. He called Pitino several times, but his mobile phone was turned off, and the calls at the office and at home were busy. If Pitino is contacted, he must cut off all his communications.

The first thing Wallace has to do when he returns to Boston is to quickly return to the headquarters to find out what is going on and why everything is so sudden. Of course, Wallace is more worried in his heart. When he arrived at the headquarters, he was still not the general manager of the Celtics.

…………………

Compared to the preoccupied Wallace, Leon has no worries. He doesn't care too much about the team's management. It's not because he has no intentions like Vogel. Auerbach's battle with the old management, and Auerbach's instructions to him have always been "do your job well and don't worry about the rest."

As a bystander, he sees everything very clearly. Auerbach’s return is only a matter of time. The key is whether he gives Pitino a chance to breathe. In the past, everyone thought that Auerbach would give Pitino some time. Now it seems that he is a little impatient. It seems that there will definitely be major changes in the management in two days, including changes in the positions of general manager, president and head coach.

After arriving in Boston, the players all went home. They were disbanded directly at the airport. They will have a rest today and training will continue tomorrow. Although Wallace went to the headquarters with concern, it was a good mood for the players. After all, they won the game, especially Michael Redd. He played well last night. Always so inadequate.

The former Spurs player Rodman took a break after two laps on the court. Now he is full of energy and invites everyone to go to the bar to have fun at night. But Pierce's being cut is just around the corner. Everyone is cautious about going to nightclubs, so there are only a few people who respond. Only Antoine Walker, a fun guy, and Anderson, a nightclub veteran, negotiated with Rodman to go to the bar for a fight. . Leon also rejected Rodman's invitation. He received a text message from Khomeinis as soon as he got off the plane. She hoped to come to her house for lunch, saying that an important guest wanted to see Leon.

So Leon went directly to Khomeinis' home by car after getting off the plane, still holding a gift for Khomeinis in his hand-a cowboy hat bought from San Antonio.

When he knocked on the door and entered Khomeinis' house, he realized who the guest who wanted to see Leon was, and that was Khomeinis' father, Stephen Paliuca.

It's not that Leon doesn't know who Khomeinis' father is. Khomeinis is not a coy girl who loves to hide her words. She told Leon about her life experience and origin without reservation, and then used this Leon's story was swapped—of course the body's now.

I have also heard about Pagliuca's name, Leon, an outstanding investor and a rich man in Boston. It seems that if he and Khomeinis are together, he will get a lot of benefits, especially if Pagliuca participates Acquire the words of the Celtics. Although Pagliuca's own assets are not enough to buy the Celtics, the news now is that none of the rich in Boston can independently win the Green Legion. Gaston's father, Donald, also bought the team through a joint venture. Now many investors are preparing for a new round of collective investment purchases, and Pagliuca is likely to be one of them.

"I am going to participate in the purchase of the Celtics." Pagliuca said to Leon almost straight to the point. When he said this, Leon had just changed his shoes and sat on the sofa in the living room, which was cleaned very clean.

Leon was not overwhelmed by Pagliuca's straightforwardness, he made some flattery or feigned surprise, he took out the cowboy hat from the handbag and put it on the coffee table, and said, "This is a hat for your daughter, no I knew you were coming, so I didn't bring you one."

Pagliuca smiled, and it seems that Leon is not an easy guy to deal with, so he said more bluntly: "My daughter, he hopes that I will buy the Celtics and replace you with a more relaxed one. No need to fly around for work. This is the most willful request in the world, but I actually decided to think about it, because I owe her it. Now, let me tell you, in another half a year, I and my Mate will be ready to buy the team, but that doesn't mean you can choose your job at will. Public is public, private is private, hope you treat her better. You know for some reason, I can't help it Treat her wholeheartedly..."

Pagliuca's tone was serious at first, but in the end he sounded more like a father, which made Khomeinis blush. She didn't expect her father to be so direct, and there was never any stabbing between her and Leon. Break the window paper, it looks like Pagliuca is going to pierce it. But what would Leon think? Khomeinis glanced at Leon secretly, his face was still calm, and his expression at this time made Khomeinis feel a little cold.

This is what Khomeinis dislikes Leon the most. No matter how turbulent his heart is, he always appears indifferent, as if nothing in this world can impress him.

"We are not married, nor are we together." Leon said flatly, and Khomeinis felt her heart being hit hard, as if something was choking her throat. And there was anger in Pagliuca's eyes.

"However, I like Khomeinis very much, but as a person who is about 30 years old and has nothing, has been in prison, gambled and boxed, and has many girlfriends, can I feel at ease and without guilt? How about staying by Khomeinis’ side? As a father, what would you think?” Leon’s words were calm and realistic, but Khomeinis’s heart brightened again when she heard his first words. Those, if it wasn't for her father being here, she would just keep shaking her head and say I don't care at all.

Pagliuca's eyes also softened, he stood up from the sofa and poured Leon a cup of coffee, then changed to a place closer to him and said to Leon: "You know, Auerbach will let you do His successor. No one knows why the old man chose you, kid. I heard that you are good at mathematics and have a unique vision, but I didn’t find anything unique except that you fancy my daughter. Now you are Celtics scout, to be honest, this is not a good position, I am not ignorant of basketball, you know Vogel, who has worked in a similar position for nearly ten years, and is finally going to be an assistant coach. "

Leon doesn't care where Pagliuca got the news, saying that Auerbach wants to regard himself as his successor. He is more concerned about how Vogel became an assistant coach. If Vogel is an assistant coach, then the head coach will be who?

Leon doesn't care much about himself as the "second temporary assistant coach", because he knows that it is impossible to become an assistant coach so easily. Even if Auerbach regards him as his heir, he will not do such a stupid thing.

"Did O'Brien become the head coach?" Leon asked Pagliuca, but his tone was full of affirmation, because after the whole team got the news of Pitino's departure yesterday, O'Brien's performance The calmest, it seems that he should have got the news in advance.

Pagliuca smiled and said: "That's right, O'Brien became the head coach. Although he and Pitino have been good friends for many years, no one can refuse the temptation to become the team's head coach. This group of people's dream. And you know, O'Brien is Ramsay's son-in-law, and Ramsay, Auerbach, is an old friend who keeps in touch. I bet O'Brien has called Ramsay a lot Call, and I will call often in the future."

Hearing this, Leon will know that Pitino has already dismissed get out of class sadly, but his team in the Celtics does not seem to have major changes, but everyone is promoted to a level, and it is estimated that another one will be hired by then. Assistant coaches, appoint a president, then Auerbach as chairman emeritus, everything will be fine.

"Father, is Leon still going to be a scout...or is he going to fly around..." Khomeinis finally spoke, and this was what she was most concerned about.

Pagliuca looked back at Khomeinis, shook his head and said, "No, I don't know the details. We haven't bought the Celtics yet. But I heard that Auerbach has something new. If you want to leave it to him, the old man doesn't want to let this kid idle."

Leon, who had been drinking coffee calmly and listening to Pagliuca, almost spit out again. He didn't know what "important task" Auerbach had, and his head was getting bigger again.
