Chapter 268: Arenas' Displeasure

While the Celtics were fighting hard in Detroit, Leon's investigation in Boston was nearing completion, and there was nothing to investigate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

From a criminal point of view, Leon's punch is a suspended sentence, plus community service. Compared with his punch three years ago, the difference between the two is that Leon did not destroy the bar's belongings, so he was not charged with picking quarrels and provoking trouble; Second, he was attacked first, and the lawyer team also tried their best to help him fight for a defense.

Now the focus is on civil judgments. One of the strange things about the law in the United States is that criminal and civil often have completely different outcomes, just like the Simpson case, where the criminal is not guilty, but the civil has to pay the victim a large sum of money.

The reason is that criminal is never suspected, and civil is the protection of the victim first, so there is no direct evidence in the criminal case to prove that Leon deliberately injured Frank, and the surveillance on the first floor did not film Leon's boxing process at all, and no one was willing to come out to testify that Leon hit Frank; On the contrary, there is surveillance on the second and third floors that prove that Leon and Strickland were attacked by thugs at that time.

But civilly, Frank was indeed beaten, and in the absence of any evidence of other assailants, Leon was the biggest suspect. Therefore, Frank's lawyer asked Leon to make a huge amount of compensation for Frank's injuries, and this kind of huge compensation case is the most favorite case for American lawyers, and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of compensation can make these lawyers eat full of fat.

Of course, Leon will not let the money in his pocket be taken away by Frank in vain, and his cheap daddy's revenge has not been completely avenged. So Leon had to wait, wait for the civil lawsuit to go to trial, wait for the lawyers' team to find enough arguments for themselves to prove that Frank was the mastermind of the attack, to prove that Frank had killed his father, and only then would the jury decide in Leon's favor. In civil litigation in the United States, while the law and cases are important, it is the support of the jury that is the most important.

Leon believes that the lawyer group that Holmenez hired for himself is not as luxurious as Kobe's litigator group, but it is also an elite lawyer in Massachusetts.

And on the night of the 5th, Leon watched the game between the Celtics and the Pistons on his home TV, which was also the first bad game for the Celtics this season.

Leon has been impressed by Larry Brown's tuning, and his team has been a bitter player for the Celtics for years, and his kind of ingenious and extremely detail-oriented coaching will indeed make Leon's quick, changeable tactical thinking deflated. The Celtics can win this game because of the strong individual ability of the players, as well as the overall strength of the Pistons, especially the lack of offense.

On the morning of the 6th, the Celtics returned to Boston, and Leon also went to Waltham in the afternoon to participate in the team's joint practice.

During training, Leon soon noticed that Arenas' mood was not quite right. As a well-known training gym mouse, Arenas is notoriously hard working in training, coming early in the morning and leaving late in the evening, and never leaving the training gym every day during the offseason.

In the summer, Leon saw a lot of gossip news about the players, but he didn't see Arenas, and he didn't even play in the Drew League in Los Angeles because he didn't think it would help him improve his level. He just practiced with his head bored, so after the start of the new season, Leon could clearly notice that his body was thicker, his speed and strength had improved, and his shooting accuracy and shooting speed had improved.

He also played very well in the first few games, but Arenas always had a feeling of inexhaustible power, and the edge in the game was repeatedly overshadowed by Garnett and Pierce. It's good to say that in yesterday's game against the Pistons, Alstom, a base-paid player, actually stole the limelight from him, and when he came on the court, the Celtics' offense was obviously smoother and overtook him in one fell swoop.

Although Arenas was more statistical, his performance was not only suppressed by Billups, but also caused the team to fall behind in the score. In the media after the game, Carlisle's move to replace Arenas with Alstom was called a stroke of genius and the key to the team's comeback.

This undoubtedly blames Arenas for the team's poor offense, and the arrogant Arenas was still thinking about surprising everyone this season and proving himself by playing the best performance of the 2001 rookie, but now it seems that there is no place for his own performance.

So, of course, Arenas was not happy, he looked listless throughout the training, and after the training was over, he did not practice for the first time, and after watching the video for a while, he was ready to leave.

Leon called out to Arenas in the parking lot and said, "What did you do today Gilbert, don't you want to be the best point guard in the East?" ”

Arenas squinted at Leon as he pulled open his car door and replied, "I'm the best point guard in the league." ”

Leon gave him a "you're making me laugh" emoji, then walked over to the Lamborghini of Arenas, pulled the door open and sat in, saying, "Send me home." ”

Although Arenas is only in his third year and is on a rookie contract, he has already opened a Lamborghini and bought an exaggerated and conspicuous orange, which is enough to see his personality.

Arenas glanced at Leon again, thinking that this guy was going to rub his car again, so the boss reluctantly started the car. Leon's family lives between Waltham and downtown Boston, which used to be very convenient, and Arenas increased the throttle on the road and used the roaring engine to vent his inner little emotions.

There weren't many cars along the way, Arenas wanted to drive to his destination in one go, but he didn't think that a few red lights on the road blocked his way several times, and the continuous eating of red lights made Arenas's temper explode, he slammed the steering wheel to press the horn, and then scolded: "I can drive fast, but there must always be a red light blocking me!" ”

"It will make you safer." Leon said nonchalantly.

Arenas's nostrils rolled in anger, and as soon as the red light was over, he slammed the throttle and rushed over.

"I feel like I can be an All-Star, I want to be an All-Star, I want to get a big contract, I don't just play for the team, I want to play for Boston, I want to play for myself, I want to play for my dad!" Arenas spoke his mind to Leon.

For three years, he loved Boston, but he also wanted to make a name for himself. Reaching the Finals last season catapulted his reputation, and the summer of hard work made him feel like he could be an All-Star. But Garnett's arrival made him feel like he was a No. 3 or even a No. 4 on the team.

He wants to win the championship, but he wants to be a hero on the court, he wants to get a super big contract, and these things Garnett and Pierce have them, and he doesn't have them yet.

"Gilbert, let me make a bet with you, if I were to drive this car, it would take less time to get from the training gym to my house than it would take you." Leon didn't take Arenas's stubble, but made a bet with him.

Arenas, of course, knows that you should never bet on Fox Leon in Boston, he will leave you with no pants left. But this time it was different, Arenas's temper came up, and he was not afraid of gambling on driving. So he immediately agreed.

After agreeing, Arenas turned around and drove back to Waltham, the time he had just driven from Waltham had been recorded, and the next thing was up to Leon.

The two switched places, this was the first time Leon had driven such a luxury sports car, which was quite unaccustomed to him who had driven eight first-hand cars all year round.

"Why don't you set off yet, are you afraid that you will fly out with one foot on the accelerator?" After getting in the car, Leon did not rush to go, but kept waiting.

"Don't worry, I'm waiting for the best time to go."

"Cut, what's the best time to go, are the red lights all broken?"

But when Leon hit the road, Arenas realized that the red light was really similar to the broken, and Leon encountered green lights along the way. And Leon's car drove very steadily, and the speed was not slow, and he was an old driver. After a while, he arrived at Leon's house from Waltham again, and when he looked at the time, it took three minutes less, almost the time to wait for the red light.

There is no need to pinch the stopwatch for such a gap, and Leon won.

"What the hell is this? Can you manipulate traffic lights on the road? Arenas was not convinced, he was going crazy when he saw that Leon was green every time he got to the intersection, he hated green so much for the first time in his life.

"Gilbert, you're a great sports car, and I know you want to run on the road at full speed. But I want to tell you that any highway in the world will have a red light......"

"It is said that China's Qinghai-Tibet Highway has no red lights...... Most of the road west on Route 1 also has no red light......"

"Shut up and listen to me...... There will also be speed limits, and there will be various traffic rules. If you keep the throttle on the throttle, you may not be able to outrun a bus. ”

"Because it has bus-only lanes."

……

"Well, if you think you're really the best point guard in the league, then I'll let you run at full speed in tomorrow's game, and if you can lead the team to win, then I'll approve of your own style of play, if not, please listen to me, and I'll tell you some reasons." Leon finally said to Arenas.

"I'm wondering now, can you even manipulate the red light?"

“…… No, it's just that I drive this road every day, and I know the duration of each red light, from the time of the first red light, I can roughly push out the time range of the second red light when I calculate the speed of the car. After a series of calculations, I was able to get a green light pass period combined with the speed of the car, so I just waited for a while. ”

"......" (To be continued.) )
