As it turned out, the Hornets' team offense couldn't withstand the impact under the Sun's unrestrained system. Leon and Scott have faced off too many times and know him too well. Knowing that his team is too one-dimensional and creative, it is difficult to win in chaos when encountering a team with stronger overall strength than himself, or defeating the strong with the weak, and will always be run over.

Throughout the game, Leon didn't call too many timeouts, just gave Nash instructions, kept attacking, attacking, and attacking again, until the Hornets' steady rhythm was all scattered, so that Chris Paul couldn't control it, and he could only play alone to continue his life.

In the end, the Suns had an advantage of 119,107, 12 points, and pressed the Hornets from beginning to end, giving the upstart a blow to the head.

After this game, Leon kept his promises, realized his ideals, and became a hands-off coach. If you can sit without standing, if you can not speak, if you can let D'Antoni command, let D'Antoni command. It's like carefully designing the structure and character design of a storyline, and how to develop and run in the future is up to the reader to play on his own.

This allows every player of the Suns to use their brains and really exert their creativity on the offensive end, and the Suns have changed from a turkey with only one brain to a link animal with many brains, and anyone can run smoothly without it. This is the new realm of coaching the team that Leon has pursued in the past few years, the so-called rule by inaction, autonomy over coercion.

The Suns had a smooth first half of the season with a few bumps in the middle and late stages, but injuries didn't hold them back, and they entered the playoffs with a first-place record in the West.

Unsurprisingly, Leon won another Coach of the Year award, and Nash won the MVP title for the third time, beating Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul.

Then in the playoffs, the Suns first cut the old rival Spurs and swept out a bad breath with a 40. In the Western Conference finals 6 games solved the Lakers who got Gasol. Facing his old club Celtics, the new Big Three, in the finals, they fell behind 02 in the first two games, Leon was hated by Boston fans, and many people forgot his past contributions and called him a traitor. Only Kevin Garnett, who hugged Leon warmly before the game began, didn't care about anyone's criticism.

After returning to their home court, the whole Suns burst out with tremendous energy, and the fans of all Phoenix gathered to cheer for the Suns and Leon, who have lost too many opportunities and regrets in history. With tremendous pressure and motivation, the Suns won three games in a row, including a Nash stunner in Game 5, and returned to Boston with match point.

In the sixth game, in the North Shore Garden, in the boos of 18,000 Boston fans, the Suns led the Celtics by 20 points at halftime, Leon was very complacent to light the victory cigar and was sent out of the game, and then the Suns scored 141 points with a super high shooting rate, slaughtering the Celtics, and bringing the Suns to the top of the world with the most brilliant game in team history, known as the "Cigar Massacre".

Leon, who completed his mission, did not renew his contract, but chose to leave Phoenix and return to college coaching, focusing on developing young players, developing new basketball tactics, and saying that he would not return to the NBA.
