Chapter 350: The Sun Also Rises

In the summer, Steve Nash, who endured a frustrating season, was ready to start training after a decent vacation with his family. www.biquge.info Unlike in the past, when he chose to practice in Canada, Nash was ready to go to Las Vegas because he knew someone was waiting for him.

Yesterday Nash just received a message from the team's owner, Robert Saver, about the team's decision to make changes in management as well as the coaching staff, Steve Kerr will be the team's new general manager, and the team's new head coach will be Fox Leon - a palpitating name that people call him God's whip.

Nash has experienced the days against the Fox Leon team, when he was still in the Mavericks, during that time, he was not impressed by Leon, but he felt that this cold man who was always expressionless, once he stood on the sidelines, he gave a huge sense of oppression, as if he was the opponent's sixth man.

After coming to the Suns, Nash experienced a nirvana rebirth, but on the other hand, the Bostonians have led Leon to re-shroud the entire league in the shadow of green, no matter what kind of storm Nash rolled up in the West, in '05, '06, the Celtics completed their three-peat, and Nash never broke out of the West.

In the limited number of regular season games, Nash found that the sixth man standing on the sidelines was gone, and he had fully integrated into the Celtics team. His mind, tactics, and soul merge with the mighty Celts.

At that time, playing against the Celtics, Nash really felt that the Suns were still far from a championship team, and maybe that distance was just a little bit, but it was insurmountable.

When he learned that D'Antoni was leaving, Nash felt a little regretful in his heart, after all, under D'Antoni, he reached his personal peak, two regular season MVPs, two Western Conference finals, and was once very close to the championship. However, if it was Fox Leon, Nash thought it would be acceptable, after all, he had three rings on his hand.

What's even more appealing to Nash is not only Leon's coaching ability, but also his legendary unmatched draft pick and trade connections, which are said to have a vast underneath intelligence empire that has eyeliner in every corner of the league through scouts, trainers, and lower-league coaches.

Of course, the reason why this is a legend is because no one has ever actually worked for this intelligence empire, which is said to be an empire that only one person can run with the presence of one person.

In short, Nash is looking forward to the new season, and on June 13, with the Finals still underway, he bought a plane ticket from Canada to Las Vegas for a meeting with Fox Leon.

Nash travels to Las Vegas without bodyguards, and he has always liked to be alone. Even after becoming an MVP, as long as he is not attending some large-scale events or formal occasions, Nash will be alone, wearing ordinary T-shirts, jeans, and a certain earthy travel hat. Nash's stature isn't very conspicuous among Americans, and it's not easy for people to spot this MVP if they don't pay special attention.

But upon arriving at the Las Vegas airport, Nash found himself under the watch, with two men in black suits following him from a short distance.

After following him all the way to the place outside the airport where he could take a taxi, Nash finally couldn't help it, turned around, and waved to the two men. When the two men saw that they had been found, they came over, and Nash asked, "Who are you?" Fans? Want to sign it? ”

One of them replied, "I'm sorry, we were sent to protect you, but said it was best not to disturb you, so...... Sorry, didn't expect you to find out. ”

Nash smiled and said, "How do you think my MVP and assist king came from?" Tell me who told you to come, and I thank him. ”

Nash was easy-going, dressed in plain clothes, and didn't have the slightest hint of an NBA superstar, so another said, "We're security guards at The Venetian in Las Vegas, and the owner of the hotel asked us to come." ”

As he spoke, he showed his work card at the Venetian Hotel, and he was indeed a security officer.

The Venetian Hotel? Nash remembers that Leon had asked to meet him at the Thomas Mark Sports Center at the University of Las Vegas, and what did it have to do with the Venetian Hotel?

"In that case, you might as well send me to the University of Las Vegas." Nash said, wouldn't it be better for these two fools to send them where they want to go instead of following behind them with stupid stalking?

After thinking about it, the two felt that it made sense, and hurriedly helped Nash carry his luggage, took him to the garage below, and then drove to the University of Las Vegas.

The airport is only a 20-minute drive from the University of Las Vegas' Thomas Mark Center, the sporting heart of Las Vegas, home of the NCAA at the University of Las Vegas, where major sporting events such as bull riding and boxing are held every year, in addition to basketball tournaments. In the summer, it usually becomes the venue for many basketball camps.

Although the NBA schedule is not all over yet, except for the San Antonio Spurs and the Cleveland Cavaliers, other teams have already gone fishing, so various training camps are blooming everywhere in Vegas. Today at the Thomas Mark Sports Center, NBA player Pat Garrity spearheaded a small rookie camp that will be attended by some of the youngsters who are going to participate in this year's draft, as well as some free agents.

However, Pat Garritt is really not a famous player, he entered the NBA in 98 and has been a forward for the Magic, with a career peak of 11 points, and he has been plagued by injuries, and has done more surgeries than his teammate Grant Hill.

The reason why a small character like him opened a training camp in Las Vegas is that on the one hand, he really loves basketball, and secondly, Las Vegas is his hometown, and as a veteran who has struggled in the NBA for many years, he has the resources to support a small training camp.

It's just that Steve Nash doesn't understand why Fox Leon would want to visit such a training camp, and he also made an appointment to meet here.

……………………

After arriving at the sports center, the work of the two Venetian hotel bodyguards is over, but they don't seem to have any intention of leaving, but continue to follow Nash, which makes Nash a little baffled.

"Your mission is done, go back." Nash said.

"No, our mission is not done." One person said.

"And what are you going to do? Follow me back to Canada? Or go to Phoenix? Nash joked.

"Oh, let's be honest with you, we'd better see Mr. Fox Leon as well, to make sure ...... Make sure he's in the Thomas Mark Centre and doesn't run to the casino. Another said.

Nash then realized that these two fools were not here to protect themselves at all, but to keep an eye on Fox Leon.

Nash had heard of this for a long time, Fox Leon was proficient in gambling, and every time he went to Las Vegas, the casinos here would be like enemies, after all, he once made a casino lose $15 million in a single day. These two fools must have been pushed by Leon to the airport to "protect" Nash, and as for where Leon went, Nash didn't know.

Entering the sports center, Nash soon saw Leon, who was sitting in a very inconspicuous position in the stands, staring at the players on the field. There were also scouts, coaches, agents and a handful of reporters sitting around the stadium.

Nash's arrival went unnoticed, and he sneaked up to the stands and walked behind Leon to scare him.

Nash was just about to speak, but Leon suddenly turned around and said, "Welcome to Las Vegas!" As a result, Nash didn't scare Leon, but he was taken aback by Leon.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, although they have been rivals for many years, and the two sides have no friendship, but it can be said that they have been friends with each other for a long time, and now they are going to work together, and they are full of expectations for each other.

Nash sat down next to Leon, who was wearing a tourist hat and sat next to Leon in an unobtrusive appearance.

Seeing Leon quickly regain his concentration and staring at the players below, Nash didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, asked, "Can you tell me something, what do you think about the Suns and me?" ”

Leon looked at Nash and said, "My thoughts? Oh, the sun rises as usual. “
