Fox Leon continues to quietly tune his patchwork summer league team in Orlando, and as usual says a head coach shouldn't be here to do something like that. He should be in Boston, with Kevin Garnett, cultivating the relationship between the head coach and the superstar, while making headlines, shooting commercials and, if possible, publishing a book about his journey to where he is today.

But he didn't, he was struggling with the last few pieces of the Celtic puzzle like he was two years ago. While the last few spots may seem insignificant, they probably won't have much time to play throughout the season, especially in the playoffs, sitting on the bench and waving towels and cheering. But as a member of the team, everyone has an unexpected role, even if it is a brick, it is also part of a solid edifice.

These players are also becoming more and more accustomed to Leon's training, and from the sixth day, Leon no longer has them repeat simple and boring physical and basic exercises, but has begun real NBA-level scientific training. Segmented training plans, methodical training rhythms, scientifically divided training modules, and pre- and post-training group video analysis.

Leon arranged the training of 11 people in an orderly manner alone, and according to the characteristics of each player, the trainers were arranged to practice for them, and a training suggestion was written for each person. Suffice it to say that even though most of these people don't play for Celtic, Leon is still trying his best to help each player's personal development.

Because Leon knows that the unbiased training style and the united training atmosphere will have a good impact on several young people in the team and help them adapt to the Celtic team style in advance.

Because of this, a culture of selflessness and mutual assistance quickly spread within this improvised team, maybe this team has a short lifespan of only two weeks, maybe everyone is a competitor to each other, but at least for these two weeks, they are a team, they are comrades who move forward together for victory.

The training continued for a few more days, and on July 5th, one day before the start of the Orlando Summer League, Leon decided to give everyone a break to relax in Orlando and prepare for tomorrow's first game.

Leon was going to get a good night's sleep in his hotel room, but he was woken up by a phone call at nine o'clock in the morning. In this offseason of more than a month, Leon not only did not get a break, but worked harder and busier than in the season, and it was rare to have a lazy sleep, he just wanted to get angry, and found that the call was from Khomemenez, and he immediately lost his temper.

To help Leon advance in his basketball career, Khamenes gave up her dream of traveling the world to study anthropology and became a venture capitalist like her father. Now she's a shareholder in several sports agencies, one of which is Andy Miller's company, which is the root cause of Andy Miller's eventual relenting on the Garnett deal.

"Good morning dear, is it dawning earlier in Boston than in Orlando?" Leon took the phone and got ready to get up as he spoke.

"My morning here is indeed earlier than Orlando! My dear is no longer in Boston, I'm in Los Angeles. Khomeenez's voice was like a fragrant menthol, and when he heard Leon, he felt that all the sleepiness in his brain was gone.

"Los Angeles? Are you going to see Bill Sharman? Oh, you don't have to worry about the number, I'll take care of it, and when I get back, stabilize that Andy Miller guy, this up and down clown. Leon thought that Khamenez was going to Los Angeles to meet Bill Sharman and discuss the number.

"Of course, this matter has to be solved for you, Anji's hair is about to fall out. You should turn on the TV and watch the news now, the Lakers are moving again. Khomemenes asked Leon to watch TV, and it looked like there was some big news again.

"Moving again? Did Shaq do it too? Leon said with a smile, the biggest news related to the Lakers in recent days is the Eagle County incident, which has nothing to do with basketball because it involves Lakers superstar Kobe, and it continues to ferment. Just yesterday night, Eagle County prosecutors were pressured to release photos of Bryant's arrest. This is a devastating blow to Kobe, who has always maintained a good image in front of the public.

But apparently, Kholmenez didn't mean these unrelated basketball scandals, Leon turned on the TV, flipped through several channels, and finally found out what Khomemenes was referring to on the ABC Sports News Bulletin - on the morning of July 5, the Los Angeles Lakers reached a verbal agreement with two free agents that they would join Los Angeles next season. And these two free agents are Karl Malone and Gary Payton.

Hearing the news, Leon was also stunned, he was not shocked by the low-salary joining of the two top fifty superstars, but felt that when he saw the news, he seemed to remember something in his mind. Those memories that slept in the deepest part of the soul have been ticked out a little bit.

At this time, the phone rang again, and Leon glanced at it, this time it was Woj. Whenever there is any big news in the league, Woj will always contact Leon as soon as possible, this is a habit he has developed over the years, he trusts Leon, trusts Leon's unique sense of smell, and he can always get some valuable advice from Leon. "See the news? See? The Lakers have taken Karl Malone and Gary Payton! This summer is just crazy...... I...... I'm in a meeting right now, and we're all talking about how to cover the Celtics and the Lakers from all angles next season, and I think we're going to have a lot to do...... Sorry I'm a little excited, are you listening to Fox? "Woj was obviously a little excited, but it was an exciting offseason for any basketball journalist or fan.

Two of the NBA's greatest giants engaged in an arms race over the summer, with the Celtics trading for Kevin Garnett for an unprecedentedly strong roster, and the Lakers eating two former superstars on the free market for low salaries after losing the semifinals last season, with an unprecedented luxury on the books. After fighting against the yellow-green giants for 20 years, they have stood at the top of the East and West overnight, and you can imagine what kind of grand occasion the NBA will be next season and how crazy the fans will be. "Yes, I'm here, I'm ......," Leon replied to Woj, still trying to think about the little memory that came to his mind, like a fish that was about to be hooked, but still struggling beneath the surface. What's wrong, Fawkes, is it scared? Well, actually, most of us still think that the Celtics will win the championship, after all, you are younger, and the Lakers have a lot of bad things right now, who knows if they can come together. Woj said, thinking Leon was scared by the dreaded signing.

But Woj's words made the fish fish, united, and Leon remembered that the super luxurious Lakers in 2003-2004 would be ruined by infighting. "No, how could I be scared, I was just thinking about how I can build a better team next season. Let's talk about something else, Voy, I have a few free agent news I want to ask you......" Leon diverted the topic, but his heart was vigilant, such a luxurious Lakers have also collapsed, then, the Celtics' road does not seem to have a smooth journey. (To be continued.) )
