At the end of August, the Boston Celtics held a jersey launch for Kevin Garnett at the North Shore Garden Arena, and it took nearly two months to join the Boston Celtics before the superpower forward's jersey storm settled. In the end, Garnett didn't follow the advice of his agent, Andy Miller, to insist on wearing Bill Sharman's number 21 jersey, but opted for his own preferred number 5 jersey.

Celtics legend Bill Sharman was invited to the scene at the belated jersey launch event, and he gave Kevin Garnett a No. 21 jersey with Garnett's name on it as a souvenir. Garnett then presented his new No. 5 jersey in front of more than 100 media outlets and hundreds of fans, a number that also condenses the Celtics' glorious history and superstar style, and thus handed Garnett into his hands.

At this point, the long-lasting number selection turmoil subsided, and Leon also participated in the number press conference, but he did not appear on the stage, but sat backstage and smoked with Erlang's legs crossed. It's up to Danny Ainge and the team's owner to make headlines like this, even though he did it all by himself.

In addition to Bill Sharman, who arrived at the press conference, the Celtic celebrities who arrived at the press conference also included their Lord of the Rings, Bill Russell, Tom Heinsohn, as well as Coussy, White and others.

In the hospital in Memphis two months ago, they were either moved by Leon's story, or succumbed to the situation and had to admit that Leon's choice was more favorable to the team, in short, no one in the Celtics now has to say anything about this deal, anyway, the owners are willing to pay a high luxury tax, the fans are happy, and the team has the hope of winning the championship, what else can they say?

After the number of the lower Garnett was formalized, the Celtics had another week to finalize the signings of Ragabel, James Posey and Rick Carlisle. It can be said that throughout the offseason, Leon did the most foreshadowing work and facilitated the most heavyweight trade, but in the end, the limelight was all stolen by Danny Ainge alone, as if he alone built this green giant ship overnight.

For a while, the praise for Angie in Boston was all over the place, and he began to make headlines constantly, being portrayed as the Auerbach of the new era, the cardinal's number one heir - the cardinal, in short, green and yellow dominated half of the media industry all summer, and Angie was almost booked to be the best general manager next season.

Kevin Garnett stayed in Boston after the jersey was finalized, and he soon had his own home and began working with Paul Pierce in the arena at Boston University, where they set up their own star camp, inviting Atlantic stars like Iverson and Kidd to train, as well as recruiting young basketball fans from Massachusetts for summer basketball camps.

Boston immediately became a basketball hotspot in the East, with scouts, agents, journalists, and fans flocking here to feel like they were challenging the Los Angeles Summer Basketball Center.

Garnett completely walked out of the previous jersey turmoil, and Boston's major media began to show favor to him, various exclusive interviews, post-training camp interviews, and columns in several major Boston newspapers were also full of articles about Kevin Garnett, as if overnight they were as sweet as ever, back to the way they were when the deal was just completed.

Boston Television also invited Garnett and Angie to a prime-time talk show in September, where they covered the deal in depth and the recent resolution of the number scandal.

It's a bit embarrassing now. Garnett is a man of a straight personality who has something to say, and when asked why he chose Boston, he didn't hesitate to say "because of Fox Leon." ”

After that, Garnett began to talk about his fate with Leon, how to not play after the draft, how to communicate at the All-Star Game, and how to discuss the future of the player together.

The show suddenly became a selection of the base story of Garnett and Fox Leon, and Danny Angie was left to the side, only interjecting a few sentences occasionally.

When the host began to ask how the deal was completed, Angie also found that it was impossible to say anything if he skipped Leon, because he had only completed the last step from beginning to end, and the front was completely manipulated by Leon.

It's just that there are some things that can't be said on the show, so Anji picked what he could say and brought it over in a few words.

As a result, it came to the question of jersey selection, and Garnett opened the conversation again, "The reason why I chose No. 5 is because I followed the advice of Coach Leon, I tried to get to know the Celtics, I got to know Boston, I went to visit Russell to find out how they won so many championships......"

In short, a thousand ways and ten thousand are all blessings of TOFFOX Leon.

After the show aired on TV, it caused quite a stir in Boston, and many fans didn't know that their team's head coach could not only lead the team to the finals, but also have so many additional features that could pry into superstars from other teams.

For a while, Leon's popularity in Boston skyrocketed, and many restaurants near Leon's home posted tips for "Fox Leon" to eat for free.

However, Leon did not have the opportunity to eat for free at these restaurants, because since September, Leon has been leaving early and returning late to train with the Celtic newcomers at the Waltham training gym.

Boris Dio, Marquis Daniels, Ralph Alstom, Raga Bell, James Posey, two rookies plus three new guys, just five people.

The oldest of the five is Alston, born in 1976, and is only 27 years old, which is the golden age of players.

But with the exception of Dior and Daniels, the other three didn't have a smooth experience in the NBA.

Alstom's street player was born, it can be said that he is not popular, and when he played in college, he was sued and banned for beating his ex-girlfriend, and he simply participated in the 1998 draft and was selected by the Bucks in the second round.

As a result, as soon as he entered the league, he was shut down and had to play in the CBA Continental League. After the shutdown ended, he returned to the Bucks and was blacklisted by George Karl because of the lawsuit, and it was not until he played a wonderful performance in the summer league in the summer of '99 that he officially entered the Bucks roster and got a two-year contract.

He signed with Toronto after his contract ended, and his individual performance improved greatly with the Raptors, but his playmaking and defensive abilities as a point guard were always criticized.

As a result, he changed his club again this year, thinking that he would go to the Heat, but Riley suddenly said that he didn't want to sign him, and in the end it was the turn of the Celtics to take over.

Ragabel's path was even more bumpy, as he attended Boston University before transferring to Florida, where he was drafted undrafted in 1999 and joined the Spurs in 2000 without playing.

Joined the 76ers at the end of the '01 season and played in the playoffs, where he reached the Finals with the team. He went to the Mavericks after that, and like Alstom, he didn't stay with any team for more than two years.

This summer, after a period of direct swinging between the Jazz and the Celtics, he chose the Celtics, not only because the Celtics offered him a bigger contract, but also because he wanted to get more work in Boston, where Fox Leon, who is said to be the most rigorous and powerful trainer in the league.

Posey is a first-round pick in 1999, so although he is younger than Bell and Alston, he has more NBA experience than both combined.

But Posey has a bad reputation among the coach and the team, is a small thorn, at the peak of his stats 02, he was directly traded by the Nuggets to the Rockets, and the Rockets did not have the will to renew Posey's contract after the season, so he became a free agent.

Anji was originally a little worried about his thorn attribute, but when he thought that their coach was the biggest thorn in the league, he didn't hesitate to take him down with the middle class.

In order to allow these new players with different experiences to integrate into the Celtics relatively quickly, Leon began opening a rookie training camp in September, and targeted training for them at Waltham.

During the summer league, Dior and Daniels had already experienced Leon's training, and they thought they could adapt to it, but when Waltham's rookie training camp began, they realized that the content of the previous summer training camp was nothing more than a drizzle.

High intensity, high precision, high efficiency, these are the three highs training that Leon adheres to.

And he also set a goal for these five people - to beat the starting team after the official training camp begins. (To be continued.) )
