The Whip of the God of Basketball

Pitino looked at Leon. He was a handsome mixed-race man, wearing a simple white T-shirt, with some scars on his face. It seemed that he had fought a lot before.

Pitino himself is considered a sports expert. He scanned Leon's figure and found that his figure was indeed not like a basketball player. His finger joints were thick and callused, his deltoid muscles were well developed, and his neck was thicker than ordinary people. He is a person who has been engaged in combat training for a long time, and nine out of ten he is a boxer.

However, he has a pair of impressive eyes, pure black, bottomless black, like the quiet Wald Lake in the dark, which is in stark contrast to his somewhat wild and handsome appearance, Pitino stared at After watching him for a while, he turned his eyes away unconsciously, he felt as if he was about to be sucked in by these eyes.

These black eyes are inherited from Leon's Chinese great-grandmother, and the calmness and courage behind them come from the soul of this body.

"Go on, Mr. Pitino, twenty minutes is not long." Leon reminded Pitino.

Pitino nodded and continued to draw on the blackboard, condensing his basketball life on this small blackboard.

Pitino started his basketball coaching career at the University of Hawaii in 1974. He has worked as an assistant and head coach at the University of Hawaii, Syracuse University, Boston University, New York Knicks, and Kentucky University. A champion coach in the basketball world, no matter what failures he has encountered with the Celtics in recent years, his coaching level and coaching philosophy are unquestionable.

The more Pitino talked, the more he devoted himself. He was not only talking to Leon, but also to Auerbach, and even to himself. His love and devotion to the sport of basketball for 30 years, and his love for this sport The in-depth analysis of the game of ten people around a ball is presented as much as possible in these twenty minutes.

"The 8-figure running tactic makes full use of pick-and-roll and off-the-ball running. The focus of this tactic is that we have at least two excellent three-point shooters who can form a deadly three-point threat to the opponent from the bottom corner or 45 degrees. Second, our pick-and-roll needs to be of high quality, which can not only provide the shooter with a good shooting space, but also give the shooter more offensive options. After the pick-and-roll, the roll or roll is a good tactical strategy. Hand, from this tactic we can make two choices..."

"The 1-2-1-1 pressing tactics can maximize the physical advantages of young players and reduce the lack of sense of position or leakage caused by inexperienced defense. We usually start with a full-court lead defense... ..."

"Three-pointers will be the direction of development in the future. It is not just about getting one more point each time, but also because of its tactical significance. I can say without hesitation that the appearance of three-pointers will bring basketball to the fore. The life span has been extended by a hundred years!"

Pitino talked to the small blackboard for an entire hour. In the end, he was no longer completing a bet. He didn't want to win. He just wanted to prove to Auerbach that his coaching philosophy was correct. Yes, he is ahead of the times. Three years of failure made him depressed for too long, and he even began to doubt whether the basketball philosophy he had summed up over the past 20 years was correct.

Now, in such a small office, with a small blackboard, in front of a person who doesn't know basketball at all, and a person who knows basketball and has become a master, he completely exploded.

"That's what I want to say. As for whether this young man can figure it out, I don't care anymore. I just... I just need some more time, some opportunities..."

Pitino put down the chalk in his hand and said, he took out the blackboard eraser and wiped all the tactical diagrams on the blackboard.

Auerbach sat on the stool, leaning on his cane, expressionless, and Pitino's outburst didn't seem to impress him. For an old man who has experienced countless ups and downs and met all kinds of people, there is almost nothing that can easily move them.

"It's your turn, Leon." Auerbach moved his lips. These days, he always likes to call Leon "boy", "cleaner", "that person", this seems to be the first time he called Leon Leon's name.

Pitino waved his hand wearily, and said, "No, there's no need, it's been more than twenty minutes, and I don't care about this bet, it's just a joke..."

However, Leon still stood up, walked to the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk, and said to Pitino: "There are many unsatisfactory things in this world that make us feel disappointed and complain, and most of them come from our own abilities." Inadequacy and a false sense of self. Enlisting the sympathy and support of others can bring temporary strength, but in the end it is up to you to solve the problem yourself. It is never too late to improve your own capabilities.”

After speaking, Leon raised the chalk and drew five circles on the half-court simulation diagram on the small blackboard, marking five marks such as "SG", "PF" and "C", and then used dotted line and solid line arrows to draw five circles. A clear and powerful tactical movement map was drawn on the blackboard.

"It's a double screen play, the starting point of the play is the shooting guard on the baseline, he starts from the corner, the arc moves, the center is at point A, the power forward is at point B, double screen, the shooting guard runs to a 45-degree angle position, catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer directly.” Leon recounted the first tactic explained by Pitino an hour ago verbatim.

Then he added: "If point A of the center and point B of the power forward are the two tangent points on the arc route of the shooting guard, then a tangent is made on A and B respectively, and the angle between the tangents is a It is about 30 degrees, and the distance M between A and B is about 2.5 meters. According to the curvature formula lima/M (M tends to 0), the curvature of this arc at point B is about..."

On the basis of Pitino's tactical explanation, Leon even started mathematical derivation. Looking at Auerbach and Pitino who were confused, Leon said lightly: "Mathematics is the basis for everything to work, and basketball is not the same. There will be exceptions, the perfect arc curvature can strive for faster movement speed and better shooting space for players."

Later, Pitino was surprised to find that Leon was repeating almost every detail of what he said, except for the catharsis with emotional color, the general direction of the tactics he talked about, the details, and even the incompleteness. Leon can retell the changes that have been explained thoroughly.

Moreover, the voice of this Puerto Rican is steady and powerful, calm without any waves, no tension, no excitement, everything seems to have been prepared long ago, everything is like his personal experience of playing on the court for more than ten years.

Auerbach had a smile on his face at the beginning, and the development of the matter was in his expectation. As early as three days ago, he learned that Pitino would come to attend his camp opening ceremony, and he also knew that Pitino was coming the goal of. Auerbach has always been competitive and unscrupulous, even if Pitino succumbs and comes to ask for peace, the bishop will not let it go, and must try to give Pitino a blow.

Just when Auerbach was smoking in his golf cart and thinking about bad ideas, Leon appeared. Originally, Auerbach didn't care about this newly released prisoner, but he turned up in the place where the chairs were placed. At that time, Auerbach discovered that this was a very smart guy.

During the next two days of getting along, the old and cunning Auerbach understood that Leon is an out-and-out memory and calculation genius. After cleaning the glass in the arena yesterday, Auerbach casually asked Leon how many pieces he wiped. Glass, Leon replied 477 yuan without thinking.

There are a total of 8 large windows in this arena, each with 60 pieces of small square glass. There were originally a total of 480 pieces of glass, three of which fell because the arena has not been repaired for a long time, and the same brand of glass of that era can no longer be found. Just use three sandwich panels instead, so there are 477 pieces of glass in total.

By yesterday afternoon, Leon had become a temporary coach, and Auerbach knew from his words that he was a layman, but his command made Auerbach realize that he seemed to have a unique talent for basketball.

From then on, a plan came into Auerbach's mind. He wanted to use Leon to embarrass Pitino, so he made this bet with Pitino after the opening ceremony.

The resentment and ambition in Pitino's heart exploded on the small blackboard in the small office, but he did not expect to be caught in Auerbach's small trap, let alone a small person with such amazing memory and understanding ability.

As Leon began to repeat every word Pitino said, finally, the smile on Auerbach's face disappeared, and the satisfaction and satisfaction began to be slowly replaced by surprise and disbelief. Leon's performance has exceeded his imagination.

This young man is not just a repeater. Auerbach can see from every word he says and every picture he draws that he can understand the meaning, and even understand the meaning behind it. What a terrible comprehension ability.

Auerbach didn't know if he was like that in everything or just basketball.

"Three-pointers will be the direction of development in the future. It is not just about getting one more point each time, but also because of its tactical significance. I can say without hesitation that the appearance of three-pointers will bring basketball to the fore. The life span has been extended by a hundred years!"

Leon uttered the last words of Pitino's hour-long speech with the same passion that he broke the chalk in his hands.

Leon looked at the two people who were silent, and said calmly: "It's all over. (It's all over.)"
