Chapter 19: Khomemenes' Embarrassment

At half past three in the afternoon, the first day of training camp had ended, and Fox Leon was sitting in Khamenez's car and heading to Boston together.

From the very beginning, Khomeenez began to ask Leon what exactly Auerbach's question was, and why Leon chose that little kid named Michael Carter Williams.

"He just asked me who of those kids was the most promising in basketball in the future, and I thought the guy named Williams was good because he was fast." Leon's answer was very simple, so simple that Khomemenis wanted to let go of the steering wheel and pinch him.

Khomeinith couldn't get any information out of the mouth of this guy who cherished words like gold, so she simply stopped talking and concentrated on driving.

Actually, Leon did not perfunctory Khomeenez, he also said "because he is faster than everyone" when answering Auerbach, and Auerbach has not released his answer since then, but judging from his grouping process, this kid named Michael Carter Williams is undoubtedly valued by Auerbach.

Even after the content of the training camp, Auerbach also left a few children down for half an hour of intensive training, including Williams, which is enough to prove that in Auerbach's eyes, Williams is a very talented and potential child.

Leon's criteria for judging are simple: he doesn't focus on the kids' skills, physical fitness, basketball experience, or overall performance, but only on one thing: their reaction speed.

Leon believes that a genius will always be one step ahead of the average person in consciousness, faster to recognize, quicker to react, and quicker to learn.

As early as the third group was doing passing practice, Leon noticed Williams, and while the others were still trying to identify who the coach's name was and reacting, Williams had already written down everyone's names and was able to get the ball to the opponent as quickly as possible.

In the confrontation match, Williams suffered too much because of his age, speed and strength, and his skills could not be brought into play at all, but in Leon's eyes, Williams was the most unique one, because from his perspective of watching slow motion, Williams was always a little faster than others.

Quicker shots, quick returns, agile movement, and his ability to spot opportunities for his teammates. Williams didn't score for nearly eight minutes, he was too small, and he only had one assist as a point guard, and instead had three turnovers.

However, Leon knew that the three mistakes were not Williams' fault, but that Williams had identified his teammate's opportunity, but the teammate himself failed to realize it, and the result was a needless mistake.

This is enough to show that it is not that Williams is too bad, but that his teammates are not good enough to keep up with Williams.

In just a few minutes, Williams was substituted before he could play better, so everyone didn't notice his presence at all, only Leon and the extremely experienced Auerbach saw something different in this kid.

Leon's senses are keen, like a person watching a slow-motion game on a TV and one of them is moving at a normal speed, then just think about it with your ass and you will understand that this guy must be different.

However, although Leon's feeling is accurate, he does not know the meaning of Williams' talent, he does not know what position Williams is suitable for, and he does not know what skills he should develop to compensate for which weaknesses.

Because he didn't really understand basketball, Ayatollah Khomemenes asked him why he chose Williams, and his answer was like lying to a kid, "Because he's faster." ”

Compared with him, Auerbach, who has been digging for treasures in the NBA for decades, knows better what level of talent Williams has, and understands why this kid is more than a notch different from others.

When Leon left training camp for Boston, Auerbach gave Leon three sentences, the first of which was "trust your instincts", Auerbach knew that Leon must have a different way of thinking than ordinary people, which made him have an unusual instinct for basketball.

The second sentence is "ask one more why", Auerbach worries that Leon relies too much on intuition and instinct when it comes to basketball, that the laws and theories of the sport are still in a rather ignorant stage, and that he still has a lot to learn if he really takes root in basketball.

The third sentence is, "If you want to see basketball, you have to see something other than basketball." This sentence contains Auerbach's expectations for Leon's future, but Auerbach himself does not know what Leon's future will be, and whether the future he expects will come.

By the time Khomemenes arrived in Boston, it was dusk, getting late, and the twilight sun was shining on the oldest city in the United States and the sky above it.

Leon sat in Khomeenez's car, opened the window, and along Route 93 he could see Boston under the clouds, a beautiful and elegant city, although Leon knew that it was not as peaceful and quiet as it seemed.

The first thing he had to worry about was where he lived, his apartment on Dudley Street couldn't stay any longer, and the unpaid rent aside, Leon was still worried that the Irish gang would come and get in trouble.

He was not afraid of trouble with him, and if he implicated Khomemenez, Leon would not be able to do so.

"It's almost time to get off work, traffic is starting to get bad, and it looks like we're spending too much time on the road." Khomemenis couldn't help but worry as she looked at the traffic jams that were getting bigger and bigger the deeper you went into the city.

Rushfield was close to Boston, but Holmenes had nearly doubled the distance by taking a detour from Plimpton to Boston via Brookton, and Holmenez's reason was that she wanted to show Leon the sights along the way, but she just wanted to spend a little more time with Leon.

"I don't even know where I'm going to stay tonight." Leon propped his head and looked out the window and said that he had his own things to worry about, and he hurried back to Boston, but he couldn't even solve the basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

However, Khomeenez's feelings were different when she heard this, and her heart beat faster by seventeen.8 percent at once, and even her hands on the steering wheel became a little unnatural.

Ms. Khomeenez was tempted to say to Leon, "Come and stay with me," and now in college, she lives in a detached garden house on Euston Avenue near Boston University, with a classmate. The house is very big, she lives on the second floor with three rooms, enough for Leon to live.

But Khomemenes didn't know how to speak, she wasn't a shy and conservative Protestant, she liked the man in the passenger seat, and wanted her to go where she lived, it was the girl's reserved nature that prevented her from going any further.

"Can I live with you? I don't have any money, but I can clean your house, I think I'm pretty talented at cleaning. Without waiting for Khomemenez's invitation, Leon was "cheeky" and offered to ask for help.

Khomemenes felt that her heart was about to explode, she wanted to suppress the feeling of joy, but the corners of her mouth still turned up unconsciously, and finally she could only bite her lip hard, then coughed a few times, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, but my house is very big, and it is not easy to clean it." ”

……………………

When she came to Ayatollah Khomeinis's house, Leon realized that she was right, the place where she lived was really big, it was a detached building, with two floors and nearly 300 square meters of space.

Moreover, the house looks neat and bright on the outside, but it is a bit bad inside, the floor of the living room on the first floor is full of clothes, sofa cushions, plastic bags and milk cartons, and Leon walks up to the sofa and even finds a milky bra in the gap between the cushions.

When Khomeenes saw this, she exclaimed in embarrassment: "Oh! That's Morena's stuff! I...... My room wasn't that messy...... I've been away for the past two days, and you see she's making the house ......."

Khomeenes glanced at the messy living room, and with sharp eyes, she noticed that there was a used sleeve next to the trash can near the sofa! There's still something sticky left on it.

Khomemenis was about to break down, because she volunteered at Auerbach training camp, so she left home to live in Marshfield for two days, and today the training camp officially began, the workload is much smaller, and she can travel back and forth between Boston and Marshfield sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, two days away, her roommate, Barbara Morena, a student from Colombia, made her home look like this, it seems that she and her boyfriend are fighting shirtless in the living room, and now the two of them should have dinner, I don't know what time it will be back.

"Looks like I'm going to be busy for a while, where do I start?" Leon looked at the messy living room and decided to clean it up, he looked around, only to find that Khomemenes had quietly moved to his side, standing next to the trash can.

"Well, it's actually okay, you don't need to clean it for the time being, let's go up and see where you live first, right? It's not too late to clean up later...... Also, you don't really need to be a cleaner......" Khomeenes stood between Leon and the trash can, preventing him from seeing the condom on the side of the trash can.

Although it wasn't something she left behind, she always felt that she didn't want Leon to see it.

It's a pity that in front of Leon, there is nothing to hide.

Leon stared at Khomemenez's face, swept around again, and quickly smiled and said, "Troy, good brand."

Troy is a brand of sleeves, and it was only then that Khamenes realized that she had blocked the sleeves on the side of the trash can, but she didn't pay attention to the unused box on the coffee table!

"Damn Morena......"
