The Whip of the God of Basketball

Chapter 49: Head is big again

   On the morning of September 13, the special plane of the Celtics arrived in Boston. After getting off the plane, Leon could smell the smoke of gunpowder in the air of Boston. A large group of reporters waited in the airport, their target was the team's general manager Chris Wallace.

As the general manager of the Celtics, Chris Wallace does not have the highest authority in team management. For three years, he was only the executor of Pitino’s will and a focus on development. Senior scout in the overseas free agent market.

   Just overnight, Chris Wallace temporarily came to the top of the Celtics management. Last night when Pitino left get out of class, he was not in Boston but went to San Antonio with the team to watch the game. The result of the game was satisfactory. The Boston Celtics destroyed the Spurs Twin Towers with 11 three-pointers in the Alamo Dome, but Duncan only played 19 minutes, and David Robinson only appeared in the first quarter. The Celtics hero is Michael Reid, who scored 5 three-pointers to show people his strength.

But it doesn’t matter anymore. It’s just an irrelevant preseason game. Journalists have extended their microphones to Chris Wallace, hoping that as the general manager of the team, he can fall for Pitino’s crash. Let me explain, after all, he used to be the general manager that Pitino pulled up in one hand.

"Sorry, everything has to wait for me to return to the team to explain... I'm sorry I don't know, I'm sorry I think we will have a press conference this afternoon, don't ask any more, I don't know." , Wallace can only use these prevarications to explain. Because he himself didn't feel relieved from the news of Pitino's dismissal, it was as if the superstar of the team was traded and he, the general manager, didn't know 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 marginal players, he worked tirelessly to follow the team to San Antonio. He didn’t expect to be there. In the third quarter of the game, he received a text message on his mobile phone from Michael Carr, the president of the team's operations. It said that Pitino is out of class and will soon leave the Celtics.

After returning to the hotel, Wallace did not sleep well for almost all night. He made several calls to Pitino, but his mobile phone was turned off. The calls in the office and at home were busy. It seems that it is impossible to use telecommunication. Pitino was contacted, and he must have cut off all his communications.

The first thing Wallace has to do when he is back in Boston is to go back to the headquarters as soon as possible to figure out what is going on and why everything is so sudden. Of course, what is even more worrying about China Rais in his heart is that when he returns When he arrived at the headquarters, he was still not the general manager of the Celtics.

  ……………………

Compared to Wallace, who is very worried, Leon has no worries. He doesn't care much about the management of the team. It's not because he is as unintentional as Vogel. He just doesn't want to get involved in Austria easily. Auerbach is fighting with the old management, and Auerbach’s instructions to him have always been "do your job well, you don’t care about the others."

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 Auerbach would give Pitino some time. Now it seems that he is a little impatient. It seems that there will be major changes in the management in two days, including the positions of general manager, president and head coach.

  After arriving in Boston, the players all went home. They disbanded directly at the airport. They will get a rest today and training will continue tomorrow. Although Wallace went to the headquarters anxiously, he was in a good mood for the players. After all, they won, especially Michael Reid. He played well in the game last night. It seems that the Spurs are restraining the shooting guard. It's always not in place.

   The old Spurs Rodman slipped two laps on the court and then went off to rest. Now he is full of energy and invites everyone to go to the bar to play together at night. But Pierce's hacking incident is right in front of us. Everyone is cautious about going to a nightclub, so few people respond. Only Antoine Walker, a fun guy and Anderson, a veteran of nightclubs, discuss with Rodman to go to the bar. . Leon also refused Rodman's invitation. He received a text message from Khomeinis as soon as he got off the plane. She wanted to come home for lunch and said that an important guest wanted to see Leon.

   So after Leon got off the plane, he drove directly to Khomeinis's house, carrying the gift he brought to Khomeinis-a cowboy hat from San Antonio.

   When he knocked on the door and entered Khomeinis’s house, he knew who the guest wanted to see Leon was. That was Khomeinis’ father, Stephen Paljuka.

It’s not that Leon doesn’t know who Khomeinis’ father is. Khomeinis is not a twitchy girl who loves Tibetan. She tells Leon without reservation about her life and history, and then uses this Exchanged Leon's story-of course the story of the present body.

I have also heard of Paliuca’s famous name Leon. An excellent investor and a wealthy man in Boston, it seems that if he is with Khomeinis, he will get a lot of benefits, especially if Paliuca participates. Acquisition of the Celtics. Although Paljuka's own assets are not enough to buy the Celtics, the current news is that none of the rich in Boston can independently win the Green Army. 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 Paljuka is likely to be one of them.

   "I am going to participate in the purchase of the Celtics." Paliuka 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 very clean.

Leon was not shocked by Paliuca’s bluntness and made some greets or pretending to be surprised. He took out the cowboy hat from his handbag and put it on the coffee table, saying: "This is a hat for your daughter, no I knew you were coming, so I didn’t bring you one."

Paljuka smiled. It seemed that Leon was not a good guy, so he said more bluntly: "My daughter, he wants me to buy the Celtics and give you a more relaxed one. No need to fly around for work. This is simply the most willful request in the world, but I actually decided to consider it because I owe her. Now, I tell you, in another six months, I and mine Your partner will be ready to buy this team, but this does not mean you can choose your job at will. Public is public, private is private, I hope you treat her better. You know that for some reasons, I can’t do anything. Treat her wholeheartedly..."

Paljuka's tone was serious at first, but later he was more like a father. This made Khomeinis a big red face. She didn't expect her father to be so direct. She and Leon never stabbed. Breaking that layer of window paper, it looks like Paliuka is going to break it. But what would Leon think? Khomeinis peeked at Leon, his face still calm, and his expression made Khomeinis feel a little cold.

   This is where Khomeinis dislikes Leon the most. No matter how surging his heart is, he always appears indifferent. It seems that there is nothing in this world that can move him.

   "We are not married, and we are not together." Leon said flatly, Khomeinis felt her heart beat hard, and something choked in her throat. And anger appeared in Paliuka's eyes.

"However, I like Khomeinis very much, but as a person who is about 30 years old but still has nothing, has been in jail, gambled and punched, and has had many girlfriends, whether I can feel at ease without guilt Stay with Khomeinis? As a father, what do you think?" Leon’s words were calm and realistic, but Khomeinis opened his heart again when he heard his first words. Those, if it weren't for my father here, she would just keep shaking her head and saying that I don't care at all.

Paljuka's eyes eased. 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 it. His successor. No one knows why the old man would choose you as a kid. I heard that you are very good at maths and have a unique vision, but apart from your fancy my daughter, I didn’t find anything unique. Now you are Celtics scout, to be honest, this is not a good position. I don't know anything about basketball. Vogel, you know, has been in a similar position for almost ten years and is finally about to become an assistant coach. "

Leon didn’t care about where Paljuka got the news, saying that Auerbach wanted to treat himself as a successor. He was more concerned about how Vogel became an assistant coach. If Vogel was an assistant coach, then the head coach would be who?

   I am not very concerned about his "second temporary assistant coach" Leon, because he knows that it is impossible to easily become an assistant coach like this, even if Auerbach regards him as the heir, UU reading www. uukanshu.com will not do such a stupid thing.

"Is O'Brien the head coach?" Leon asked Paljuka, but his tone was full of affirmation, because yesterday the team received news of Pitino's departure. The most peaceful, it seems that he should have received the news in advance.

Paljuka smiled and said: "Yes, 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. It is them. This group of people’s dream. And you know, O’Brien is Ramsey’s son-in-law, and Ramsey and Auerbach are old friends who often contact. I bet O’Brien does not miss Ramsey. Phone, I will call more often in the future."

Hearing this, Leon knows that Pitino has already dismissed class sadly, but his Celtic team doesn’t look like there will be any major changes, but everyone has been upgraded to one level, and it is estimated that he will hire another one. Assistant coach, appoint a president, and then Auerbach as the honorary chairman, everything will be fine.

   "Dad, should Leon still be a scout... or do you want to fly around..." Khomeinis finally spoke. This is what she cares about most.

Paljuka looked back at Khomeinis, shook his head and said, "No, I am not sure about the details. We haven't bought the Celtics yet. But I heard that Auerbach has something new. If you leave it to him, the old man didn't want to let this kid go idle."

   Leon, who had been calmly drinking coffee and listening to Paliuka’s words, almost squirted out again. He didn’t know what Auerbach’s "important task" had, and his head was big again.
