On November 12th, the Celtics arrived in Boston by plane in the morning, because they were going to play a back-to-back game, so Leon gave the whole team a holiday and asked everyone to go back to rest, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, they went directly to the North Shore Garden to gather for a simple warm-up workout, and participated in the game directly in the evening. Their opponent for the night was the Chicago Bulls.

Leon got off the plane and took the car to the police station first, and every time he went to other cities to compete or came back from other cities, Leon needed to go to the police station in person to record, after all, the court has not yet pronounced the verdict, and he is still on bail.

But at the police department, no one has embarrassed him, and now he's one of Boston's most famous sports personalities, appearing in the TV news and newspapers almost whenever there is a Celtics game. After making the report, one of the veteran policemen in charge of Leon's file, Weatherine, stopped Leon, chatted with him about the case, and told Leon that based on experience, there would not be much of a problem in the criminal aspect, and the key was civil.

"The jury's verdict is going to be very important, and the court will do everything they can to avoid the repercussions of your Celtics coaching, and I think it can be started with Frank killing your father. It's a bit hard, though, and from what I've heard, Frank doesn't admit that he killed your father. Viscephine said to Leon as he sipped his coffee. He's a longtime Boston Celtics fan and a staunch supporter of the Green Army in the '80s, except that he doesn't have much interest in basketball anymore.

Leon nodded, he had heard this opinion from his lawyer, civil trials require a jury to decide whether they are guilty or not, and it would be best if a verdict of not guilty was made. Although the jury system will try to eliminate the emotional factor of the jury members to ensure the fairness and justice of the trial, people are emotional, and the vast majority of people are dominated by feelings. How to skillfully influence jurors' feelings in litigation is a skill that every American lawyer must master.

Leaving the police station and returning home, Khamenes is packing her belongings, and it looks like she's leaving Boston for Los Angeles.

"Los Angeles is almost out of business, and I have to rush back. It's going to be a hard time for you, the court will be in a week, and I'll be back then, I'll go to Los Angeles to deal with the matter first. Khomeenez said as she saw Leon return home.

Leon didn't say anything, just nodded, as the work became more and more busy, the time between the two was getting less and less, but the relationship was still deep, and that deep attachment was a great meaning of Leon's existence in this time and space. It's just that after fatigue, Leon will also feel troubled and confused in the face of the pressure that comes like a mountain, and if Khomemenes is not there, he will fall into a low mood.

But at home, Leon doesn't like to reveal his negative emotions to Khomenes, who is a hero, a Heracles-like figure, who can fight and solve all problems, will not get tired, will not lose control, and she has 100% confidence and trust in him. After dropping off Ayatollah Holmenez to the airport and watching the plane leave for Los Angeles, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Leon drove to the North Shore Gardens to prepare for the evening's game.

Their opponent tonight is the Chicago Bulls, a team still sinking in the post-Jordan era, drowning in the endless darkness of the post-dynasty era like the Celtics. After wasting a high pick in the draft for several seasons in a row and making unsatisfactory selections, the Bulls made a more secure choice in the draft this year, picking out Kirk Hinrich and then signing back the decorated veteran Scott Pippen, but the first few games of the season were still bad, 2-4.

Such an opponent capsized in the gutter of the Celtics on the night of the 11th in the North Shore Garden. The game went against the Celtics from the start, with Kevin Garnett coming off early with two fouls in the first quarter, and Leon also making small mistakes in substitutions, and he tried to use Dio on the court in the hope that he could continue the excellent performance of the previous game.

But this time Dio failed to play a role in the lineup, especially when the Bulls sent Scott Pippen, Pippen repeatedly interfered with Dio's passing in defense, and made two successful steals, helping the Bulls establish an advantage in the first quarter. While the Bulls' little shark Eddie Curry played well in the second and third quarters, the Celtics' offense went wrong, and fatigue, poor hand, and tactical unfamiliarity made everything bad.

The Celtics suffered their first defeat of the season.

After the game, Leon apologized to all the players in the dressing room, and his command tonight was not only not excellent, but also made several faint moves. Kevin Garnett was the second to come forward to apologize, which was his worst game since coming to the Celtics, with two fouls in the first quarter and early discharge, after which his playing time became fragmented and he never found his form.

Not only Garnett, but the other players, including Pierce and Reed, all self-criticized their performance in this game, and the only ones who did not self-criticize were Arenas, who was not good tonight, and even if he felt that he was not performing well, he would not admit it.

The next day, Leon asked the whole team to arrive at the training hall an hour early for training, and increased the time for the team to watch game videos and tactical training, and quickly carried out offensive and tactical run-in exercises, Leon's goal is to reach the end of the season, and the players can flexibly use the three main changes of the fold attack without the coach's guidance, for which he and Carlisle reorganized and redesigned the team's training methods, and trained the players in groups, starting with two-person shooting training, and reducing the number of groups and increasing the number of people day by day.

On the morning of the 13th, they had a full-court practice at the North Shore Gardens in preparation for the evening's game. The Celtics who lost were quite terrible, and the whole team held their breath, ready to bounce back in the next game and give an explanation to the Boston fans.

The unlucky team that visited North Shore Gardens on the night of the 13th was the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were the biggest winners of the summer draft, getting LeBron James from Akron, a super rookie who could change the league's landscape, the pride and hope of the Ohioians. In his NBA debut, he scored 25 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds against the Kings in an All-Star performance, proving that he is capable of skipping the NCAA and entering the NBA. In the second game, he sent a quasi-triple-double of 21 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists, which shocked the league for a while.

In the next few games, some of his performances were slightly lower, but he continued to maintain a high level of rebounding and assists, and he continued to prove that he and Michael Jordan are not the same type of players. It's just that the Cavaliers are really a fish belly, and they started the season with a five-game losing streak, and after coming to Boston, they have a 2-6 record. It's just that the Bulls' victory in the last game gave the Cavaliers some confidence, and James said in the pregame interview that they will try their best to win the game, and the Celtics are strong, but not invincible.

But in the evening, the whole Celtics team immediately proved to James that at least for now, the Celtics are almost impossible for him to beat.

In the first quarter of the game, the Celtics used steely defense and ferocious offense to beat the Cavaliers to a 34-15, 19-point lead that completely set the tone of the game, and the subsequent game Cavaliers were like a mouse crushed by an elephant, struggling to turn over, but in vain.

LeBron James could still play 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists against the Pacers, but tonight's Celtics gave him his first experience of what a Finals-level defense is, what you want to shoot but you can't see the basket, you want to pass the ball but you can't see people, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Michael Reed created an encirclement on James, and in Dick Stockton's words, "he fell into a 10-foot hole."

At 121:77, the Celtics vented their anger with a 40-point slaughter after losing a game, and James also hit the hardest wall after entering the league, with 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and a bench performance.

And for the foreseeable future, LeBron James will be tormented by how to break through that wall. (To be continued.) )
