The Whip of the God of Basketball

For Leon, before he had time to ask a few more words, Auerbach hung up the phone rudely. Fortunately, he had an amazing memory and had memorized the address and phone number of the Celtics headquarters. Your memory bank is like a regular and neat library, where every bit of life is recorded and easily indexed.

While engraving the information about the Celtics headquarters and phone number into his memory, Leon suddenly thought of the phone number that Khomeinis had left for him at noon yesterday.

In the afternoon, after finishing the one-day training camp, Khomeinis left with her volunteer partners. Although Khomeinis wanted to stay alone to help Leon clean up, she hesitated for a long time, and she was bold and enthusiastic by nature. However, she still did not do so. On the one hand, she still has the reserve of a girl. On the other hand, Leon's erratic attitude made Khomeinis hesitate.

When Leon called Khomeinis, the call was connected after only one second, and Khomeinis' jumping voice came from the receiver: "Hello! Is this Leon?"

For some reason, upon hearing Khomeinis' voice, Leon felt a little warmth in his heart.

It has been more than two months since he came to this time and space, what has he experienced? Thugs, fake punches, police stations, court charges, prisons, prisoners, community service workers, everything is dark, lonely and ugly.

After coming to Marshfield, in Auerbach's training camp, although he was commanded by the old man, he did more work than the dog, and the money was not as good as the dog, but Leon found it very interesting and worked very hard. The reason is simple, because here in Auerbach he can have the experience of a normal person and the feeling of being needed.

The smartest, most noble, or people with great personalities in this world often have some trivial needs, such as being cared for, recognized, and approved. Fox-Leon has extraordinary will, outstanding brainpower and amazing courage. He is not afraid of darkness, completely unknown situations, terrifying forces, and does not bow to a life that cannot see clearly. He is enduring Waiting for the opportunity to reshape life.

If it is said that rebirth is divided into difficulty levels, Leon's experience is not enough to be hell, it can be regarded as falling into the Colosseum.

Now, there is a second person who has the slightest concern for Leon. Just from that greeting, Fox-Leon felt the expectation and desire in that voice.

"Hello, it's me." Leon responded, his heart quickly calmed down again, if there is a machine that displays brain waves, then Leon's brain waves must be flat and stable, only once or twice Jump out of range.

Leon called Khomeinis not on impulse, nor did he want to find someone to relieve his loneliness. He really wanted to ask Khomeinis for help, because Leon found out that if he went to Boston tomorrow, he would have to pay a lot of attention. I don't have enough money for other miscellaneous expenses.

In the past few days, with some meal allowances from the community service center, plus his frugality, Leon's 200 US dollars has been steadily and slowly reduced, but a mobile phone and a calling card make Leon empty-handed in an instant.

Auerbach promised to help him find a way to avoid community service labor, and introduced him to a job, but he didn't care about such issues as how to get to Boston and what to do when he arrived in Boston. Besides, if you can't solve this problem, you don't want to be Auerbach's disciple.

So on the phone, Leon asked Khomeinis if he could take him to Boston tomorrow, because Leon knew that Khomeinis didn't live in Marshfield, and she would drive to Marshfield in the morning to be a volunteer. In the afternoon, he drove back by himself, and Leon hoped to take a ride.

Khomeinis readily agreed, and she told Leon that she would continue to come to the training camp tomorrow, and would drive back to Boston at three o'clock in the afternoon, and then she could drive Leon to Boston together.

Khomeinis also curiously asked Leon what he was going to do in Boston, and Leon replied honestly: "Mr. Auerbach introduced me to a job in Boston, and he asked me to go to work tomorrow."

"What job?" Khomeinis was like a curious little squirrel.

"Probably to clean the floor of the Celtics arena." Leon said solemnly, as if he had fallen in love with the promising job of cleaner.

…………………

The next day, June 2nd, Leon left the community management center after having breakfast, attending a correctional class, doing two hours of correctional activities, and having a half-hour interview with a social worker , to the training camp.

Before leaving the community management center, the person in charge of the center told him that he didn't need to come again in the future, his community service activities had already been completed, and now he is a normal social person.

Because last night Auerbach ordered him to come to the training hall before going to Boston, so Leon walked to the training hall.

When I arrived at the training hall, the training camp had officially started. Auerbach was sitting on the edge of the court with a cane as an off-court guide, while the three old Celtic players Ainge, Maxwell and Greg Kate began to appear on the court. Conduct basic training with children divided into three groups. Other volunteers are responsible for providing services and assistance to the children, and those who like to play can also follow the children and learn some useful skills and experience from former professional players.

An important reason for the strength of American basketball is that it started from a baby. Children started playing basketball at a very young age, and they received very formal guidance and training. The three former professional players did not relax their training at all just because their students were children. Jiaojiao, on the contrary, just because this is a group of blank schoolchildren, they should establish good playing habits and playing methods for these future basketball talents from the very beginning.

Leon walked to the door of the arena and stood aside watching the vigorous training on the field. The group closest to him was Greg Kate's group.

Kate is very tall, more than 6 feet 10 inches. Standing among the children is like a big tree, surrounded by a circle of small mushrooms. As the defensive insider of the Celtics in the 1980s, Kate is not well-known in NBA history, and he is just a very ordinary member in the glorious team history of the Celtics. The only impression is tough defense.

After retiring, Kate became the chairman of the Florida Basketball Association to contribute to the basketball career in his hometown of Florida. This time, he was called by the old coach and came to the training camp as a coach. At this time, he was teaching the children how to pass the ball correctly. Ball and catch.

Children in the United States are exposed to basketball early. Many children can do some basic skills, such as dribbling and shooting, quite well at a very young age. The significance of the training camp is to teach children things that they cannot learn alone, such as pass the ball.

Kate's training method is very unique. After demonstrating the basic passing action and letting the children practice a little bit, he did not let the children do the boring one-on-one passing training in pairs, but asked them to gather around. Make a circle, then hand the ball to a child, and then say: "Next, I will call a certain player's name. When I call his name, the person holding the ball in his hand must find out quickly He, and then pass the ball. Be fast, accurate, and have a standard posture. We start with the most basic through pass."

After the opening ceremony yesterday, the children were divided into groups and introduced themselves to each other. However, on the first day of training, they must not be familiar with each other. Kate’s passing training game can not only train the children to pass the ball Speed, accuracy, and responsiveness can also make students more familiar with each other.

At the beginning of the training, the scene became a mess. Either the passer didn't know the name Kate called, or the passer was inaccurate or hit someone with too much force, and the ball was flying everywhere.

Khomeinis stood beside Kate's team and helped to pick up the flying ball, which made her very busy. Finally, a ball flew directly to Leon. I saw Leon standing by the door watching with gusto.

"Why don't you come in and take a look?" Khomeinis asked after picking up the basketball and walking up to Leon.

"Uh... I was the one who cleaned the floor for fear of dirtying it, so I can't bear it." Leon replied.

Khomeinis couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling, and said, "Don't worry, you won't be mopping the floor tonight, come in, training is very interesting, come in and have a look."

At this time, Auerbach also found Leon who was "peeking" at the door, and waved his crutches and shouted at him: "Come here, brat! I have a little problem here!"

Leon had no choice but to enter the training hall again. God knows how small this small problem is.
