The Whip of the God of Basketball

After a drunk, Chris Wallace left Boston with the Grizzlies the next day and returned to Memphis. After Leon sent Morey home, he returned home exhausted. When he entered the house, he saw Khomeinis sleeping on the sofa wrapped in a blanket. It was only then that Leon remembered that last night was New Year's Eve, and he said he would accompany Khomeinis at home for the New Year's Eve, but Khomeinis turned down her friend's invitation to the New Year's Eve party.

Leon apologized and walked to the sofa and kissed Khomeinis on the forehead. Khomeinis, who was in a light sleep, opened her eyes in a daze. She was overjoyed when she saw Leon's face. Then she frowned again, covered her head with a blanket, and turned her whole body to face Leon. It was obvious that Khomeinis was a little angry. She was rarely angry with Leon, but last night Leon didn't call back and just ran out to drink until the next morning, any girl would be angry, no matter how much she loved him.

Leon also knew that what he did was wrong, but instead of beating Khomeinis softly in front of the sofa, he endured his drowsiness and went to the kitchen to cook a sumptuous meal for Khomeinis. For breakfast, fragrant eggs, hot milk, fresh vegetable salad, and just-roasted turkey, Leon brought them all to the coffee table in front of the sofa, apologizing to Khomeinis with the aroma.

Khomeinis was waiting for Leon's apology, but he walked away without saying a word. Her heart was sore, thinking that she would never pay attention to this guy again these days. But after a while, Leon made a table of delicacies in the kitchen. Last night, Leon Khomeinis didn't eat a bite, but she was stubborn and refused to take the initiative to send Leon a message to let him come back. Fell asleep on the couch hungry. These scents could not help but seduce Khomeinis stomach, and also dissipated the little anger in Khomeinis heart.

She quickly got up from the sofa, still wearing a light-colored nightgown, showing two long bare legs, and began to feast on the breakfast on the coffee table. The temperature outside was already below zero. Fortunately, the heater was turned on at home, otherwise Khomeinis would have frozen on the sofa. Leon, who had prepared breakfast, ate two bites by himself but felt that he had no appetite. He drank too much wine last night. He turned on the TV, then sat on the sofa, wrapped the blanket around his body, and leaned against Homer Nice fell asleep.

It was already noon when he woke up, because the Celtics’ next game will not be until January 3rd, so the whole team rested on the 1st, and then had a full-day training on the 2nd, so Leon didn’t need to Worry about time matters. When he woke up, he found some turkey, salad, and a glass of orange juice left on the table. Khomeinis had already gone to school. This was her last semester, and she had to make final preparations for her graduation thesis.

This is when Leon saw a note under the orange juice glass. Leon picked it up and saw that it said, "Darling, pay attention to your health. It is very bad for the coach to stay up late. Also, look at today There is some news that is not good for you." Leon put down the note and saw that there was still a stack of newspapers that had just been delivered in the morning on the coffee table. He quickly picked it up and glanced at it. I found the news that Khomeinis said was unfavorable to him. It read: "The head coach of the Celtics, Fox Leon, was rumored to be addicted to gambling and was once a violent person who went to prison."

Leon took a look at this report, and the main content was as stated in the title, saying that Leon had a bad habit of gambling. Later, he also accompanied Walker, Joe Johnson and others to the casino in Connecticut to have fun. The report even dug out the fact that Leon had entered the MCI Correction Center, saying that Leon had been hanging out in bars, got drunk and injured people, and was eventually sent to prison. But now he shows others with a calm and gentlemanly face, and he doesn't know what kind of face is hidden behind it.

Most people's first reaction when they see such a report is to be furious, and then they must ask the reporter for an explanation, but Leon is still very calm. He put down the newspaper and began to think carefully. He knew that this would be a crisis for him, and if he didn't handle it well, he might lose his position as the head coach, but he knew that the more he faced the crisis, the more calm he would be, just like when he traveled to the bar to face the mafia. The same as people.

As the saying goes, there are many people who are popular, and the foundation of his body is not clean. Now that he has become a celebrity in the Boston basketball world, such a black history will be dug out one day. Leon is now more concerned about the timing of these things being dug out. The current time period is neither a critical period of the playoffs nor a period of fluctuations in coaching changes. The Celtics' record is steadily rising, so Leon first ruled out the opponent's attack or Angie's attempt to get rid of his coaching position. Possibly—although Leon knew that Angie definitely wanted to get rid of his coaching position, it was definitely not now.

Another possibility is purely malicious slander and gossip from the media. This is not impossible. What the media want is news that attracts attention, and they don't care what effect the news will have. If it weren't for the conversation with Wallace last night, Leon would have thought this was a possibility, but combined with his previous conjecture, Leon was sure that someone must be behind the scenes, trying to destroy the Boston Celtics. The next trading operation is Leon's plan to get Garnett.

If Leon's plan to get Garnett is far-sighted, then this obstructive force is also unscrupulous, and they have planned for a rainy day, trying to make Garnett come to the Celtics by disrupting the Celtics. The possibility of a person falls. Leon knew that behind any superstar transaction, there were countless interest links and numerous conflicts and conflicts. Many lightning-like transactions that seemed to be completed in an instant had countless people playing games behind them.

Leon knew that he was weak and that the Celtics had never been popular in the trading market, so he adopted a method similar to "announced a murder in advance" to let everyone know that he wanted the Wolf King. Now the pressure is undoubtedly on Leon's side. He once threatened to make the Celtics a championship team to become a bargaining chip to attract Garnett. Hovering on the edge of the playoffs, the possibility of Garnett coming to the Celtics will decrease.

So who doesn't want Garnett to go to the Celtics? There is only one type of person, and that is the agent, because Garnett can get a super big contract in the Timberwolves, but not in the Celtics. For the agent, they only hope that the player's contract is as big as possible, so he can draw The more commissions they get, they don't care whether the players can win the championship or whether the excessively large contracts hinder the development of the team.

Leon is not ignorant of the agent world. On the contrary, he has met many agents during his scouting period, but what he knows are some low-level agents who serve some players on the fringes of the NBA. Take a pitiful commission. He didn't know the agents of those big-name stars, such as Garnett's agent Andy Miller.

Although Leon doesn't know Andy Miller, this guy is well-known in the agent world, and there was a big news related to him last year, that is, he led 16 NBA players under him to leave the original agent The company, which set up another hill, was sued by original owner Eric Fleischer for $4.6 million.

These 16 players include Kevin Garnett, whose annual salary will reach 28 million next year, Miller's biggest golden job. If he is allowed to come to the Celtics, he will be bound by salary space, CBA terms and the team's championship requirements. No matter how difficult it is for Garnett to get such a salary, how can Andy Miller let Garnett come here?

Leon sat on the sofa and thought about it for an hour, basically guessing the ins and outs. He knew that Andy Miller was a greedy and daring guy in the agent world. For the agent world, it is a turning point year. The signing of the new broadcasting contract and the overall bullish rise in player salaries have caused many agents to pull their troops to set up a new hill and prepare for a big fight. This year is also a new year in the sports world. The year with the most brokerage firms established.

Leon knew that his actions had touched some people's cake, but how could he easily bow his head and compromise? He immediately took out his mobile phone, dialed Woj's number, and prepared to launch a counterattack.
