Leon's incident disrupted many people's plans, and the Celtics bore the brunt of it, and although Leon quickly delivered bail to get out of the police station, his trip was restricted during the bail period, and after the preseason began, he had to report to the police station if he needed to travel to the road before he could leave Boston by plane. When I come back, I have to go to the police station to report.

This caused Leon to spend a lot of time on filing, and because of the investigation needs of the prosecutor's office, Leon had to be on call, so some away games in the preseason Leon simply couldn't go and stayed in Boston.

Another victim was Ayatollah Khamenez, who spent most of the summer in Los Angeles dealing with her own investment firms, and rushed back to Boston after hearing the bad news about Leon, ready to build a luxurious legal team for Leon to minimize the impact.

Another one that has been affected is the entire NBA league.

After the outbreak of the Kobe Bryant Hawk County incident, the NBA faced a serious image crisis, which was another Lakers player exposed to the public because of his private life after Magic Johnson announced that he was infected with AIDS in 1991.

The problem of professional players' private morality and misconduct in their private lives has been magnified, and it is not only Kobe Bryant who is criticized and pressured, but also the entire NBA league and NBA stars and ordinary players. In the past, the news and rumors of the bohemian life of NBA players were all brought out and re-fried, so David Stern had to hold an emergency meeting to discuss how to carry out image public relations and resolve the crisis.

Unexpectedly, Kobe's matter has not passed, and the investigation and evidence collection and litigation are still in progress and will continue for a long time, the Boston Celtics here also had an accident, and their head coach actually punched someone into the hospital.

Although the man was a gangster and Leon's father-killer, it was illegal to beat someone, which in turn linked the alliance to another bad phenomenon - violence.

With the problem of disorderly and violent private life, if it is revealed that a football star is taking drugs at this time, like Rumbaias, then David Stern can climb the Brooklyn Bridge and jump off to cut himself, and this day is completely unpassable.

To that end, in mid-October, Stern convened the league's owners, team operations directors, presidents and managers again for a meeting at the Olympia Building in New York to discuss how to correct the league's current public image and rebuild the bar.

Adam Silva pushed for a "zero tolerance for violence" system at the meeting, proposing that as long as a player or coach behaves violently or has violent intentions on the field, the referee has the power to send the opponent off the pitch without accumulating technical fouls.

However, the proposal was opposed by most owners and team managers, who also wanted the stadium to be free of violence, but they preferred their players to stay on the pitch and play, especially those with temperamental players.

Danny Ainge is of course a strong dissentive, pointing out that Leon's incident did not happen on the court, and that he had already been suspended for punching a Pacers player on the court, and that the incident at the bar could not be linked to the court.

Moreover, Angie also pointed out that Leon's violent act was just, supported by public opinion and fans, and even if he had to pay the legal price for his impulsiveness in the end, he could not be morally condemned for it.

In the end, the discussion was fruitless, and the NBA only issued a statement saying that the league opposes violence, and even more opposes violent crime, and the NBA will try its best to prevent violence from happening on the court.

After returning to Boston after the meeting, Angie told Leon the news during the morning training, which resulted in a roll of Leon's eyes.

"Why object? Wouldn't it be good to just let them pass this rule? Is your brain full of? Leon scolded Anji unceremoniously, he was also very irritable in the past few days, and he couldn't devote himself to training, which was quite bad.

"Hey, who the hell got into a fight with the opposing player in the game and got banned? I don't want to be in a game next season where you squeeze your fist a little bit and the referee can send you off. Angie was angry at Leon's behavior of "not knowing good people's hearts".

Leon sighed, shook his head helplessly and said: "Stern and Silva are bastards, but if through this incident of mine and help pass the zero-tolerance rule, then I think next season I should not have to always run between the police station, the courthouse and the stadium, and the league will definitely open the door for me." Now well, the Boston Celtics head coach deliberately hurts, and the president and owner don't cooperate with the league rules to progress, then Fox Leon you run around every day to toss your case. ”

Leon's words are not unreasonable, and in the past few days, Leon has also realized that things are not so simple, Frank is not so easy to deal with, he has a team of lawyers, on the one hand to exonerate him for past crimes, and on the other hand, to launch a civil lawsuit, demanding that Leon pay Frank compensation - the price they proposed is 35 million US dollars.

Of course, it is impossible for Leon to lose so much money, but the law does not mean that you will pay if you say you will pay or if you say you will not pay, which requires continuous investigation, evidence collection, court debate, hearings, until the final court and jury make a verdict.

If the league can help, then some of the evidence, investigation, and interrogation work can be carried out in the away city, otherwise Leon will have to go back to Boston often and then go back and forth between the two places, which will be a huge blow to the team's command and preparation.

"Perhaps...... Maybe it's good to be in Boston a lot, at least the second half of our games are in Boston. And I don't think the league will help with that. "Angie still has to be hard-mouthed, in fact, in retrospect, when something like this happens, there is no problem for the Celtics to give a soft gesture to the league. It's just that he is used to the confrontation with the alliance official, and Anji's mind didn't turn for a while.

"After all, it's up to you...... I hope that the new season will not be affected by this incident......" Leon also fell into a trace of worry, looking at the players who worked the training ground, he did not want the squad that took three years to build would be wasted because of his punch.

Of course, he didn't regret it at all, and gave Frank that punch.

……………………

Leon's events began to gradually move towards the judicial process, and the NBA regular season slowly lifted its veil as the preseason kicked off.

To match the investigation, Leon was unable to play in the first preseason game of the Celtics of the new season, and the luxury division defeated the Hawks in Atlanta under assistant coach Rick Carlisle to claim their first win of the season in the absence of a head coach.

While Leon recorded his second confession at the police station, he began to study the schedule for the 03-04 season, which was released yesterday and distributed to every coach and player.

The Celtics' first game will be played in Boston on October 29, and Leon will certainly be on time for this game, completing the pre-game preparation and in-game command.

After the first game, the Celtics will embark on a three-game road trip to Memphis, New Orleans and Detroit, one of which Leon is expected to not attend because he will have to work out a plan with his newly hired team of lawyers in early November.

Then, starting in mid-November, Celtic will face a strange back-to-back home-and-away schedule, one home and one away, and they will have to play 11 consecutive games, five home and six away.

"Fuc-k-you......" Leon couldn't help but scold his mother when he saw such a schedule, but he also knew that the schedule sorting was a very brain-consuming and complicated job, and it was very unlikely that the league would deliberately arrange such a schedule for his situation. It's just this kind of home and away game, and it will be very troublesome for him to fly elsewhere during the bail period.

At present, judging from the information obtained by the prosecutors, Leon should not be charged too seriously in the criminal prosecution, and the final result is a suspended sentence nine times out of ten. But in terms of civil lawsuits, Frank has already filed for a huge amount of damages, and Rob Eze has reminded Leon to be prepared for a long fight.

Either way, this summer full of drama is coming to an end, with deals, intrigue, hope, controversy, surprises, troubles, and this is the most complicated summer Fox Leon has experienced in years.

As for what mood and situation he will spend next summer, it all depends on the 2003-2004 season. (To be continued.) )
