In the away locker room at the Conceco Arena, Leon looked at himself in the bathroom mirror, just like he had in the bathroom at that bar three years ago, with messy hair and two bloody streaks on his face, 1 inch and 1.3 inches long. The tie was ripped off, the first button on the collar fell off, and the right crunch of the suit was off the line.

Look at your hands again, because of the full force of hitting the bone joints red, hands and arms are still trembling slightly because of the force, and the heart is also beating violently, although he has been insisting on exercising, but Leon really hasn't done anything with anyone for a long time.

In fact, when he did it, the blood rushed to the brain, but his mind was still quite calm, he could quickly judge the other party's intentions and react accordingly, but his body was slightly unable to keep up with his brain, otherwise he wouldn't look so embarrassed now.

But a group of black and white men over 6 feet 4 rushed up, and it was remarkable that they were able to run out, needless to say, and each of them was punched at least.

Leon turned on the faucet and washed the wound, but a small scratch was not a big problem, then he took a comb from the side, re-combed the messy hair, took off the torn coat and threw it aside, retied the tie, straightened the shirt, and finally rinsed his hands with cold water.

After walking out of the bathroom, the team doctor who followed Leon back to the locker room immediately cleaned Leon's wounds, and then applied some disinfectant ointment, although it was only a small scratch, but since Magic Johnson retired due to AIDS, the league has paid special attention to the treatment of these fierce confrontation small and medium-sized wounds to prevent infectious diseases or wound infections from causing harm to players.

"It's a big deal...... I've seen this happen once in all my years in the NBA...... But it was the coach who was beaten......" Lysette, the team doctor, said as he smeared Leon with medicine. Lescet has been with the Boston Celtics since 1987 as the team's chief sports injury protector. He has been in this league for 16 years.

When he came to the Celtics, it was the time when the sun was setting and it was their injuries that ruined the Celtics, so Lysette was hired by the Green Army with his extensive professional experience and superb medical skills, despite the Celtics' poor results in his 15 years in the service. However, there have been no serious injuries to the players, and the 1987 season has not been as catastrophic as it has been.

Lesette has treated many players, done protection, and done science, but for the first time in 15 years, he has treated the team's coach, and the reason for the coach's injury is still because of a fight with an opposing player......... And it looks like he's still won......

"Who was it last time?" Leon asked, listening to Lysette's words.

"Collins, the head coach of the Bulls at the time, when he played against the Pistons, you know how famous the Pistons were at that time. Rick Mahon pulled Jordan's layup down, and then Oakley rushed up and the two sides clashed. At that time, Bulls head coach Collins was also angry and wanted to go up and blame Mahon, but the result was ...... Oh, as a result, he was knocked down by Ma Hong at once, and in the end, the two sides did not fight. Lycett recalls a clash in 1988, when he first entered the NBA, in the late '80s. Almost every week in the NBA, there are on-court clashes, especially for teams from the old industrial areas of the northern Middle East. The Pistons, Bulls, 76ers including the Celtics.

The Pistons were naturally the source of the war, and at that time Lysette felt that playing against the Pistons was simply a war for the Celtics.

"It's different now, everyone is a lot better, rich, and famous. Of course, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds, the superstars are good babies and good guys...... Still, you're the first one. Let's prepare for the press conference after the game, and the ban will definitely come, but I don't know how it will be judged. Be prepared to apologize. Lycette put Leon in the medicine and put away his things, and said to Leon in a serious voice. In his experience, an unprecedented head coach brawl like this, and still not falling behind, the league will definitely punish him heavily. It's okay if the players are angry and conflicting on the field, but a coach who is polite and commanding on the side beats the players, what is going on?

"I'm fine...... I'll be ready for the press conference, but I don't think I'm going to apologize. Unless, the Pacers' players apologize to the Celtics players first. Leon looked at Lycette and said in an unquestioning tone.

……………………

The sudden clash on the court threw the game into chaos, and after nearly 10 minutes of commotion, the two sides finally returned to calm, with the head coach on the Celtics side being sent off and Artest being sent off as a victim on the Pacers.

Originally trying to restrain himself, he didn't clash with the opposing Pierce, and saw the opposing coach and the team's boss Miller spraying and even moving, and wanted to go up to restrain Leon, but he didn't expect Leon to turn on the mode of hitting the Pacers within a radius of one meter, beating him with two punches, and then Pierce dragged him from behind, so until Leon was pulled away, he couldn't get up from the ground.

In the end, the hapless Artest could only hang his head and follow the guard out of the stadium.

On the contrary, Reggie Miller, the initiator of the conflict, still stayed on the court, after all, he only moved his mouth and did not move, but after receiving two punches, Miller was obviously a little blind, standing on the court with a somewhat sluggish expression, no more trash talk in his mouth, and the court was much quieter all of a sudden.

On the flip side, Dave Cowens replaced Leon as the team's interim head coach, and in the post-clash timeout, he took over the tactics board and began to demand that the players play as he wanted.

'We're taking the lead now, forget about the clashes, forget about the things that were not good for us and get back to the game. We have to start with defense, don't give the Pacers the opportunity to chase points with the help of chaos, which is very important, especially our interior line, pay attention to their low post, our outside line will not wrap up the low post, so PJ, you have to handle those singles by yourself...... "Cowens also has many years of head coach experience, so he is not afraid at all when he gets the tactical board, and can calmly analyze the current situation on the court and assign tasks.

However, now the Celtics players have the heart to listen to Cowens' arrangement of his conservative and stable tactical arrangement, like Arenas, Michael Reed, Paul Pierce and even Wang Zhizhi, all they think about is how to beat the Pacers in the game next, and use three-pointers, dunks, and blocks to destroy the Pacers in front of 20,000 Pacers fans at the Conseco Arena.

The Celtics players have endured the rudeness and harassment of the Pacers players for most of the half, as well as the bias of the referees in some of the penalties, but the quality of professional players and the team's consistent flat style have made the players hold their anger in their hearts and want to use basketball to crush the opponent.

But as the saying goes, there is no need to endure anymore, Leon used his iron fist to crush the arrogance of the Pacers, so that they dare not be brutal and rude anymore, and at the same time greatly boosted the morale of the team. While it all came at a cost, the young Celtics found their bloody strength in Fox Leon's fists.

After returning to the court at the end of the timeout, Pierce gathered several players on the court together in a circle, everyone leaned on their heads, shoulder to shoulder, Pierce said in his hoarse voice: "We can't let the coach be sent off like this, we can't watch the opponent still stand in front of us like that, we can't use fists, then destroy them with basketball!" ”

With that, Arenas, Reed, Dalham Porter, PJ Brown, and Pierce raised their fists together, as if through the fists, they could feel the energy left behind by Fox Leon.

In the ensuing game, Michael Reid tore Reggie Miller like crazy on the defensive end and looked for every opportunity on the offensive end to eat Miller one-on-one. Poor old Miller was 37 years old, first beaten for his bad mouth, and then ravaged by the young and strong Reed. Despite Reed's admiration for the Indiana legend off the court, he couldn't stand what Miller said to Leon tonight, and couldn't stand it because Leon was sent off.

The whole Celtics arm did not follow Cowens's arrangement, but as if they were not leading by 10 points but falling behind by 10 points, desperately grabbing rebounds, desperately physical confrontations, desperate reinforcements and desperate breakthroughs, Pierce threw himself inside as always, PJ Brown blocked everyone who dared to enter the box more ferociously, Dareham Porter tried to grab every floor ball, and Arenas did not miss any opportunity for a fast-break impact.

On the contrary, most of the team's beaten Pacers completely lost their momentum, especially their soul Reggie Miller, Fox Leon's cold eyes and ferocious skill when he threw punches lingered in his mind, and as a shooter, he could never concentrate. Not to mention that there's a little madman Reed pestering him.

At the end of the third quarter, the Celtics stretched the difference to 16 points, and in the fourth quarter, the Celtics continued to play to the death of the Pacers, they once stretched the difference to 21 points, Pierce scored 37 points alone, Reed scored 18 points, 3 steals and 2 blocks in the second half, and he spared no effort on the defensive end.

After entering garbage time, Cowens tried to replace Reed, but Reed refused, saying, "I'm going to stay on the court and watch the Pacers lose." ”

Sigfried said to Cowens, "Let him be, everybody should have some faith." It's over early, so we'd better figure out how to handle the rest with Fox......"

The Celtics, the headless Raptors, forced their way across the river of Conceco Arena, but they relied on one breath and they couldn't accept the days of having no head. (To be continued.) )
