The Whip of the God of Basketball

　　Minneapolis at night is really a boring place. Fortunately, it is still summer, and the long winter has not yet begun to block this place.

　　 Like most mid-sized cities in the United States, Minneapolis is clean and tidy, but it is also relatively boring and boring. It is far less prosperous and gorgeous than the old eastern cities such as New York and Chicago.

　　Although Leon is pulling Garnett out with him, he is not familiar with it. Finally, Garnett took Leon to a nearby coffee shop.

　　 After arriving at the coffee shop, Leon discovered that Garnett had booked this place. There were only five people in the entire coffee shop, dressed in hip-hop style trendy clothing, sitting carelessly around a round table.

　　 It seems that they are all friends of Garnett, and Leon has the three letters "OBF" flashing in his mind. As a scout, he is familiar with the parents of every superstar in the league, because these may become levers to move them in the future.

What Garnett is well-known for is that he is very loyal to his friends. After he became an NBA superstar from a poor background, he did not dislike his friends at all. On the contrary, they set up an "Offical-Block-Family" together. The brand not only designs and releases some clothes and shoes, but also the title of Garnett's participation in various activities.

　　 These five boys are the members of this hair mother, Garnett's good friend from childhood to childhood and his follower. Leon knew that when Garnett met his agent for the first time five years ago, he brought these five small followers to make himself look tougher and try to control everything.

　　 Now, Garnett is going to make a stand for his teammates, but he can no longer bring his little buddies to the door. He believes that he can handle that guy independently.

But obviously, he didn't get it. Garnett hoped that he could deter Leon, make him bow his head, be afraid, and apologize; but obviously Leon is a hard bone, 7 feet tall has no deterrent at all, he is calm and natural, with eyes penetrating. The cold light and confident tone made Garnett believe that if he dared to punch, the consequences would be the same as Syri, the jaw was knocked off.

Originally, Garnett wanted to go to the cafe to celebrate with his friends after teaching Leon, and then tell them how the other party was so frightened, but now the two of them entered the cafe side by side. It seemed to be good friend.

Garnett looked a little embarrassed. Leon was unceremoniously sitting at the round table and ordered a cup of ordinary black coffee. He took a sip and said, "We had a fight, and no one can knock anyone down, but I was hurt by mistake. Malik Siri apologized, and I should visit him if I have time."

　　 The awkward atmosphere was suddenly broken, and Garnett grinned open his big mouth, revealing white teeth, in sharp contrast with his dark face.

　　 Everyone became active, and of course the focus was on Leon.

　　 Leon is different from many basketball workers. Although he has a calm and wise mind, he also has a wild and unruly appearance. His slightly scarred face quickly became the focus of everyone's attention.

For Leon, there is a story behind every scar. These young people in their early twenties but with countless wealth are essentially a group of children, including Garnett, who are brave and cruel but cherish feathers. A heart that is sincere and passionate but loves bluffing.

Like a pirate returning from seafaring, Leon tells the wind and waves on the sea to the little furry boy in his hometown. He brings this body's experience and knowledge in the southern district of Boston one by one, including the evil deeds of James Barger and Felakimir-Frank The pursuit and killing of himself, as well as his various experiences in the MCI sentence.

Garnett and his friends grew mouths or eyes widened when they heard this. They also talked about the gangster stories they had heard and experienced in Chicago, and then argued whether it was the Chicago gangsters or Boston. The mafia is even darker.

　　 But in the end, Garnett said to Leon, he said: "Your experience makes me feel interesting, but I will never let myself experience such a thing."

　　 He stared at Fox Leon with wide eyes, but there was no sarcasm in his words. Leon smiled and said, "In this world, people who like basketball are never too bad."

In the early morning, Leon bid farewell to Garnett and his friends. Anyway, this was a windfall for Leon. He began to be friends with Kevin Garnett, and it seemed that his friends were pretty good. like him.

　　 In this league, being friends with stars is also one of the conditions for success.

　　……………………

　　 At noon the next day, Leon took the plane back to Boston, while Chris Wallace stayed in Minnesota to handle the Michael Reid deal.

　　 It has been nearly a month since he had not returned to Boston. Leon did not expect to leave here in Chicago at the beginning of June. There were so many days. When the plane landed at Boston International Airport, he felt a sense of going home.

　　 "I don't know what happened to Khomeinis..." Back here, the first thing Leon thought of was Khomeinis. During this time, the two text messages and phone calls increased. Whenever he went to a city, Leon would text Khomeinis, and then use his broken phone to take a vague photo of Khomeinis.

　　 But he doesn't have time to find Khomeinis now. He needs to report back to the Celtic headquarters immediately, and then he was notified that he has more important work arrangements for him.

　　 When Leon once again returned to the Celtic headquarters on Causeway Avenue, he felt completely different from the last time he came here.

　　 "Hello, Mr. Leon." As soon as he entered the gate, a receptionist took him upstairs, and people greeted Leon from time to time along the way, although Leon did not know any of these people.

　　On the second floor, Leon met Ms. Polis. Ms. Polis was very enthusiastic to Leon and wanted to take Leon to Pitino's office.

"In fact, everyone was talking about you this week, you know what, they all said you are a genius scout, very, very amazing..." Ms. Polis praised Leon all the way, as if it was less than a month What great things Leon did in time.

　　 But in fact, he just did a little work before the draft, and the result is still unclear, so such praise made him confused and a little wary.

　　 After arriving at Pitino's office, Leon found not only Pitino, but also the team's player director, another Leon, Leon Popper.

"Welcome home to Leon. Thank you for your hard work. I would like to introduce you to Leon Popper, the player director of the team, responsible for player management. The senior scout of the team used to be a senior scout. You need to work together in the next job. "Pitino took the initiative to introduce Leon, but he didn’t know that Leon had actually met Popper on the first day when he went to Ms. Polis’ office to print materials.

　　 Contrary to his ignorance when he first met, Popper was very polite this time, and he took the initiative to hold Leon's hand with both hands to give a greeting. His originally fierce and vicious face also looked a lot softer.

Popper is an experienced basketball worker with twenty years of basketball work experience. Before joining the Boston Celtics, he taught in a youth basketball team in Boston. He was hired after Pitino came to power in 1997. Come as a senior scout, responsible for digging players for the Celtics from the NBA, CBA and Europe.

　　 So in principle, he was picked up by Pitino. He has become the team's player director last season, and he has great advice on player retention and signing.

In this draft, he stayed in Boston and did not go to the front line for player inspections. Instead, he was responsible for the rear data processing and trading. It can be said that Popper’s credit was given to the trade on draft night. He did it before training camp. Begin contacting with Mavericks, UU reading www.uukanshu.com paved the way for the final transaction.

　　 After giving his work report to Pitino, Leon left Pitino's office with Popper, and then his work arrangements will be subject to Popper's instructions.

Popper was very enthusiastic. He kept asking Leon if he had any problems at work, and talked about some of his experience as a scout. Leon also nodded and listened, but he was thinking that he would be arranged. What job.

　　 Logically speaking, when he returned to the headquarters, he should first go to Michael Carl and listen to Carl's opinion, but Carl went to North Carolina today and will not be back tomorrow, so Leon can only listen to Popper.

　　 The internal management of NBA teams does not follow a strict subordinate system. In fact, the positions set by each team, the scope of power of each position, and the actual role played are different.

　　 So Leon does not have a clear superior, but at the same time many people can command Leon.

"I think, should I get in touch with the players of the team during this time? I think it is necessary to know the players of our own team." In Popper’s office, Leon said this because Auerbach wanted him Being able to have more contact with Celtic players is not only part of the job, but also an opportunity to enhance the relationship and understand the team.

"Oh, yes, yes, Mr. Pitino and I are discussing this. This is your next job destination, to bring back our newly traded players... Yes, I said. It's Dennis Rodman." Popper responded. After speaking, he took out a ticket from the drawer, and took the flight at 9.25pm ​​to Sydney, Australia.
