As for Leon, before he could ask a few more questions, Auerbach rudely hung up the phone, but fortunately, he had memorized the address and phone number of the Celtic headquarters in his mind, and his memory bank was like a regular and neat library, where every bit of life was recorded and easily indexed.

While imprinting the information about the Celtic headquarters and the telephone into his memory, Leon suddenly remembered the phone number that Khomemenes had left him yesterday at noon.

In the afternoon, after the end of the day's training camp, Holmenez left with her fellow volunteers, although Holmenez wanted to stay alone to help Leon clean up, but after a long hesitation, she still did not do so, on the one hand, she still had the reserve, on the other hand, Leon's erratic attitude made Holmenez hesitate.

When Leon dialed Khomenes's phone, only 1 second later, the phone was connected, and Khomenes's jumping voice came from the receiver: "Hello! Is it Leon? ”

I don't know why, hearing Khomeenez's voice, Leon actually felt a trace of warmth in his heart.

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

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

The smartest, noblest, or great personality in the world often has some trivial needs, such as being cared for, recognized, and approved. Fox Leon has extraordinary will, excellent brain power and amazing courage, he is not afraid of darkness, he is not afraid of completely unknown situations, he is not afraid of terrifying forces, he does not bow to a life that cannot see hope, and he waits patiently for the opportunity to reshape his life.

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

Now, there was a second person who had a hint of concern for Leon, and it was only from that greeting that that Fawkes-Leon felt the anticipation and longing in that voice.

"Hello, it's me." Leon responded, his heart quickly calmed down again, if there was a machine that displayed brain waves, then Leon's brain waves must be flat and stable, only occasionally one or two out-of-range jumps.

Leon didn't call Holmenes on the spur of the moment, nor did he want to find someone to relieve his loneliness, he really had something to ask Holmenes for help, because Leon found that if he was going to Boston tomorrow, the money on him was no longer enough for the travel expenses plus miscellaneous other expenses.

In the past few days, receiving some meal subsidies from the community service center, coupled with his own frugality, Leon's $200 has steadily and slowly decreased, but a mobile phone and a calling card make Leon feel empty-handed in an instant.

Auerbach promised to help him find a way to get rid of his community service work and introduced him to a job, but he didn't care about how to get to Boston and what to do when he got there. Besides, this problem can't be solved, so don't be a disciple of Auerbach.

So on the phone, Leon asked Holmenes if she could take him to Boston tomorrow, because Leon knew that Holmenes didn't live in Marshfield, and that she would drive to Marshfield in the morning to volunteer and drive back by herself in the afternoon, and Leon wanted to hitchhike.

Ayatollah Khomeenez readily agreed, telling Leon that she would continue to come to training camp tomorrow and drive back to Boston at three o'clock in the afternoon, when she could take Leon to Boston.

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

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

"Probably going to mop the floor of the Celtics' arena." Leon said in all seriousness, as if he had fallen in love with the promising job of a cleaner.

……………………

The next day, June 2, Leon left the community management center for the training camp after breakfast, a corrections class, a two-hour correctional activity, and a half-hour interview with a social worker.

Before leaving the community management center, the person in charge of the center told him that he would not have to come again in the future, that his community service activities had expired, and that he was now a normal social person.

Because Auerbach had told him to come to the gym before going to Boston last night, Leon walked to the gym.

By the time we arrived at the training hall, the camp had officially begun, with Auerbach sitting on crutches on the sidelines of the court doing off-field instruction, while the three Celtics veterans of Angie, Maxwell and Greg Kate began to take the children on the field to basic training in three groups. Other volunteers are responsible for providing services and assistance to the children, while those who enjoy playing can also learn useful skills and experience from former professional footballers.

An important reason for the strength of American basketball is that from the baby, children began to contact basketball at a very young age, and received very formal guidance and training, the three former professional players did not relax the training because their students were children, on the contrary, because this is a group of blank paper-like schoolchildren, they must establish good playing habits and playing methods for these future basketball talents at the beginning.

Leon walked to the door of the arena and stood aside to watch the hot training on the field, and the closest to him was Greg Kate's group.

Kate was tall, more than 6 feet 10 inches, and standing in the middle of the children was like a big tree, surrounded by a circle of small mushrooms. As a defensive interior player for the Celtics in the 80s, Kate was not well known in NBA history, and was just a very ordinary member of the Celtics' illustrious team history, and the only impression he left on the Celtics was his tough defense.

After retiring as a player, Kate became president of the Florida Basketball Association and contributed to basketball in his hometown of Florida, and this time received a call from his veteran coach to coach at the camp, where he was teaching the kids how to pass and receive the ball properly.

Children in the United States are introduced to basketball early, and many children can do some basic skills, such as dribbling and shooting, at a very young age, and the significance of training camp is to teach children things they can't learn when they are alone, such as passing and receiving.

Kate's training method is unique, after demonstrating the basic passing movements and letting the children practice a little, he then does not let the children do boring one-on-one passing exercises in pairs, but has them form a circle, and then hands the ball to a child, and then says: "Next, I will call the name of a player, and when I call his name, the person with the ball in his hand, will quickly find him and pass the ball." To be fast, to be accurate, to be standard, we start with the most basic through ball. ”

After the opening ceremony yesterday, the children were divided into groups and introduced themselves to each other, but on the first day of training, they were definitely not familiar with each other.

At the beginning of the training, the scene became a mess of porridge, either the passer didn't know Kate's name and passed blindly, or the pass was inaccurate or the force was too strong to hit the person, and the ball simply flew everywhere.

Holmenes stood on the side of Kate's group to help pick up the ball that flew out, which made her busy, and finally a ball flew directly to Leon, and Khamenes ran over, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Leon standing by the door and watching with relish.

"Why don't you come in and see?" Khomemenis asked as she picked up the basketball and walked up to Leon.

"Uh...... I was afraid of staining the floor, but I wiped it clean and was reluctant. Leon replied.

Khomeenes couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she heard this, and then said: "Don't worry, I won't let you mop the floor tonight, come in, training is a very interesting thing, come in and have a good look." ”

At this time, Auerbach also spotted Leon standing at the door "peeking", and brandished his cane and shouted at him: "Come here, stinky boy!" I have a little question here! ”

Leon had no choice but to enter the training gym again, and God knows how small this little problem is.
