In the week since arriving with the Suns, Leon has focused all of his mind on training with the Suns and spending time with Suns players, while keeping his distance from the Phoenix media. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Frenex is not a big sports city, unlike New York, Los Angeles, Boston entrenched in a large number of senior sports critics and reporters, the only more influential sports media in Fenex is the Arizona Republica, the rest are some small media or part-time sports news stations.

After Leon moved into the Suns, Paul Colo, the top NBA reporter for the Arizona Republic, has been wanting to do an interview with Leon to find out some of Leon's thoughts on the direction of the Suns next season, because many Suns fans are now worried that Leon will transform the Suns into a defensive team like Boston.

Phoenix is different from Boston, it doesn't have such a deep sports soil, and although the Suns have a long history in the NBA, their team history is far less than that of Boston. For Phoenix fans, they don't have any historical glory or historical baggage, they just want to see beautiful games, beautiful offense, starting with Paul Westphale in the 1960s, to Larry Nance, to Kevin Johnson, Charles Barkley, Jason Kidd, to Steve Nash, they have never attacked or died.

For the past three years, the entire league has been shrouded in the defensive shadow of Boston's green defense, while the Suns have been obscured by the Spurs' dark shadow and have no chance of making it to the Finals. Now that the Boston guy has come to the Suns, fans are naturally mixed feelings, hoping that the team can win and break out of the West, but they don't want the Suns to become an ugly team.

In the past few days when Leon was guiding the Suns' training, reporters kept coming to the training hall at the American Airlines Center to ask for interviews, but every time it passed, the Suns' training hours were very short, and when there were reporters, they would not conduct tactical training, but only simple shooting and confrontation exercises. This disappointed the reporters who were hoping to get a little bit of information out of the training.

That's why Chloe wanted to arrange an interview with Leon, hoping to rely on his connections and prestige in the Suns to ask the NBA's best coach to talk to fans all over Phoenix about his plans.

Of course, his invitation was ruthlessly rejected by Leon, and then Khloe contacted the Suns' top management, the owner, the director of the human resource management center, and the director of the external communications department, but to no avail.

"I'm sorry, you can interview any of the team, but Leon can't, don't ask me why, you can't ask Stern to ask him." This is the reply of the Sun propaganda department to Kolo. No way, Leon can be regarded as one of the biggest coaches in the NBA at the moment, and he is very appreciated by owner Savo, and Kolo, who has served the Suns for many years, really can't help it.

However, in this era of advanced media, journalists are all communicating with each other. So Chloe immediately thought of Woj, a Yahoo reporter who has become famous for various revelations in the past two years, and it is said that Woj and Fox Leon are very good friends, and many of Woj's revelations were provided to him by Leon. It's just that the two never admit it in public, they just say they know each other.

Chloe immediately reached out to Woj to ask if there was any news about Leon and where the Suns would go next season. Chloe sent a direct text message to Woj over the weekend, knowing that Woj was always on 24 hours a day and ready to work except on the plane. Soon Chloe received a reply from Woj, but he was disappointed: "I can help you with other things, but to be honest, let me know about Leon, it is better for me to tell you where the President of the United States is." ”

If Woj can't even detect Leon's voice, the only way left is to break through from the inside of the sun. Find an assistant coach, find a trainer for the team, staff for the team. However, it would have cost Kolo a little bit of money, and he eventually found a masseur who worked on the team to relax and stretch the muscles after training the players, and wanted to learn something from him.

Eventually, there was some breakthrough in Colo's work, and the trainer told him three very valuable pieces of news: first, the Suns' players spent a lot more time relaxing their muscles after training each day, but their training time did not get longer; Second, the Suns' main training focus is still on offense; Third, Fox Leon seems to say to Steve Nash a lot, do you want to win a scoring title?

The first and second messages Kolo felt normal, and he was relieved that Leon had come to the Suns and that the team had been more efficient in training and that they would still be an offense-oriented team. But what is the third thing? Let Nash take a scoring title? Chloe thought it must have been a joke between Leon and Nash, but it wasn't like that.

Leon had a fulfilling time in Phoenix, and he was much busier than he was in college. At Davidson College, he would spend a lot of time before and after training to go fishing, go for a walk in the countryside, or spend time with his wife in Los Angeles. During that year, Leon thought about a lot of things related to basketball, and he could put aside the NBA's complicated affairs and off-court issues and focus more on the court.

He wanted to go on a little longer, wait until his child is born, have more time to spend with him, grow up with him, win a few championships in the NCAA, and then think and experiment with more tactics and ideas. But when Steve Kerr invited him, he was intrigued, for the simple reason that the Phoenix Suns were the best testing ground for his new idea to come to fruition.

Just as Leon seized on the league's three-point shooting trend after coming to the Boston Celtics in 2000, in 2007 Leon had already sniffed the harbingers of a major change in the league's style of play. As a coach who has strangled the league with a strong defense in previous seasons, Leon knows that such a style of team doesn't fit the league. No other team has had as many defenders as the Celtics in 2004-2006, while also having one of the most versatile and intelligent defensive cores, and they are Leon's carefully built nuclear submarines against the current, which will eventually remain hidden in the water.

After coming to Davidson College, Leon's biggest problem as the team's coach was that there was no one in the entire academy who could defend as he requested. For those kids, they grew up in a completely different basketball environment than the players born in the '60s and '70s, and they loved offense, dribble, three-pointers, and subtle, complex offensive plays.

Every time Leon explained various complex and ingenious tactics to his students in a tactics class, those children would be much more attentive than they would in a culture class. Because they think it's cool, using beautiful passes and flashy dunks on the fast break to beat their opponents with missile-like three-pointers, just like the Phoenix Suns. Since then, Leon has known that this will be the case not only in the small place of Davidson College, but in every school in the United States, such children will be mainstream.

This is the trend, this is the course of history, and Leon clearly understands that no one can confront time and history, including him, a man who has traveled through time and space. Leon knows that the era of offense and three-point shooting will eventually come, and those players who entered the NBA in the '90s are still in their final prime, and they can still dominate the league for a while, but not for long.

Leon wanted to teach at Davidson College for a simple reason, because he wanted to take economics classes at Davidson College, and he was annoyed that several Ivy League universities in Boston refused to let him sit in on it. The Davidson College in North Carolina was very tolerant in this regard, and when Leon agreed to become the school's basketball coach, he gave him a license to audit any course at the school when he had time.

The most frequently attended courses are finance and organizational anthropology, and he has benefited greatly from his solid foundation in economics and finance, while organizational anthropology has opened up his thinking on team management. This year, he led the little-known Davidson College to the NCAA quarterfinals, which can be described as a shock to the United States, and the individual ability of the team's player Stephen Curry has been greatly highlighted.

If Khloe were to take a closer look at the performances of Davidson College and Stephen Curry at the NCAA in March, he would be able to understand what it meant to "make Nash the king." It's a pity that Chloe didn't perceive the inner meaning of this sentence, and just thought it was a joke. Then in an NBA column in the Arizona Republic on Monday, he wrote a blueprint for the Suns next season, arguing that the Suns will continue to uphold the banner of offense while their offense will be more efficient.

As for making Nash the scoring champion, it was a joke and completely ignored.
