Chapter 352: A Demon Sword is Missing

Arizona is in the midst of its hottest and driest season of the year, with scorching suns and bare wastelands sending temperatures over 30 degrees in Phoenix in the South Central. Pen~fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Phoenix means phoenix in English, but in Indian, it means hot place.

But for Phoenix basketball fans, today's news is nothing short of a blessing from heaven when an unknown packet from Las Vegas reports that Fox Leon will be back to play for Phoenix.

At first, no one believed it at all, because that newspaper has always only published some gossip, gossip news, and there are so many sports news media in Las Vegas, how could they publish news from this newspaper? But in the U.S., some people familiar with the matter reached out to the Suns management office, staff, and Steve Kerr by phone, all confirming that Fox Leon will join the Suns to coach Nash.

So, the whole American sports league exploded, and the unknown tabloid was sold out of stock, and it was reprinted and reprinted, because they had first-hand photo information, and other newspapers kept calling to buy relevant materials, and this lucky reporter and lucky newspaper made a lot of money for it.

Leon and Nash left for Phoenix in their second day, where they met with the team's management and new manager to discuss the new season.

On the way, Leon receives a call from Woj.

"You son of a bitch, don't you tell me about such an important thing? Just pull a random tabloid in Las Vegas, ask him to take a picture of you, tell him about your decision, and then it's over? Woj looked angry on the phone, of course this was only on the surface, Woj knew that Leon had given him enough inside information, he was just a little discouraged, such an important thing, as a friend Leon did not tell himself.

Leon could hear it, and he said sorry to Woj, saying that he was just on a whim.

"I just want to find a random reporter and let him say it, it's not a big deal, do I have to notify the TV station, do I have to do a TV show, pick a time, and tell the whole of America on TV, Lao Tzu has to make a decision, where to coach! If I go, I won't be able to win the championship. ”

"Okay, okay, I know what you think, damn pseudo-low-keyist. As compensation, can you tell me a little bit about the Suns' plans to trade or sign up? "Woj wants to get a sniff out from Leon.

"I can't." Leon replied crisply.

"Why?"

"Because I don't have a plan either."

"you, I bet you've had a plan in your head from the moment you decide to join the Suns!"

Leon couldn't deny it, and after a few more idle words with Woj0, he changed the subject and hung up the phone. Leon knew that there were some things he couldn't say to Woj yet, because it wasn't time to set off the smoke bombs.

Then, Leon and Nash arrived together at the American Airlines Center Arena, home of the Suns, where the Suns' office was located, where the team's owner, Saver, new manager Kerr, and other team executives and key staff members would welcome Leon for a small meet-and-greet.

Leon was in a place he hadn't been to before under Nash's leadership, where he had been seen in the away locker room, tunnel and courtside, and now he decided he wanted to start a new coaching career here.

In a small conference room at the American Airlines Center, Leon met Savo, who had been waiting for him for a long time, and Steve Cole, who stepped forward and gave Leon a big hug, obviously very happy about Leon's arrival.

"Very, very, very welcome, seeing your figure, I feel as if I see the golden shadow of the O'Brien Cup!" Savo made no secret of his joy and greed for the championship, and yes, he invited Steve Cole and Fox Leon over just to fight for the championship and more.

Leon shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Savo, you always have to remember that the key to winning the championship is still your players, like Steve Nash, with him in the Suns there is a championship hope." “

Leon's words are very much in Savo's heart, because the decision to sign Nash has always been Savo's proud work, and it is the key to his revival of the Suns in recent years.

Cole whispered to Leon, "You're getting a sycophant." Leon said to Cole, "You still haven't gotten smarter. ”

Kerr is certainly smart enough, otherwise he wouldn't have won a championship, wouldn't have eaten so much in the league, and wouldn't have gotten the position of general manager of the Suns.

So then at the team's meeting on next season's development, Kerr gave his opinion, he said: "We know that we have been locked out of the Finals for three seasons in a row, who did we lose to? Duncan, Nowitzki, and who won the championship? Leon knows, Kevin Garnett. ”

"Shall we get Kevin Garnett over then?" Savo interjected, causing everyone to laugh, and everyone knew that it was almost impossible.

Kerr shook his head with a smile and continued, "In addition to Kevin, there is one more person who can deal with these interior lines in the West, especially against Duncan. ”

Cole deliberately sold a pass, but he didn't expect Leon to say: "Don't talk about Steve, I don't agree to let O'Neal come to the Suns." ”

The smile on Cole's face disappeared, and the others were surprised, first of all, they didn't expect Cole to say O'Neal, and secondly, they didn't expect Leon to say Cole's opinion without waiting for Cole to finish speaking, you know, but Cole strongly recommended Leon to be the general manager of the Suns, didn't the two exchange ideas in private?

In fact, everyone was right, Cole really didn't exchange ideas with Leon in private, because when Cole sent an invitation to Leon, Leon agreed without saying a word, which was much to Cole's expectation, so Cole went to contact the Sun for a handover, who knew that Leon was so faceless after he came, and directly denied his most important idea.

Kerr really wants to get Olney, looking at the West in the past few years, only O'Neal can fight against Duncan and the Spurs, and then O'Neal and Kobe Bryant fought to go to the Heat, but they were suppressed by Leon and the Celtics in a row, and they were depressed, and now is the opportunity for O'Neal to return to the West and fight against Duncan.

Cole wanted to say what he thought, but Savo said, "Fox, tell me what you think." ”

Cole could only shut his mouth a little depressed, waiting for Leon to speak. "I think the Suns' offense should get stronger," Leon said. ”

Listening to Leon say this, Savo's eyes lit up, although Cole's idea seemed reasonable, but in addition to the championship in the past two years, Savo has paid more attention to the team's box office, and the bombardment that began in 05 has made the Suns skyrocket in popularity across the league, and Savo has naturally made a lot of money. He really wants a championship this year, but if he can win the championship and sell tickets at the same time, of course he is most happy.

Leon asked Savo a question, and he asked, "Mr. Savo, we all know that the Spurs are causing a lot of trouble for the Suns, and in '05 and this year, if, I mean, if you were asked to pick a player from the Spurs' roster, who would you pick?" “

Leon threw a conundrum to Savo, which is a question that is often asked on some forums to pick people from the strong team, how can there be such a good thing in reality.

But Savo still thought about it seriously, and the first thing that came to his mind was, of course, Duncan, and yes, there was no one in the NBA who didn't want Duncan, just as he didn't want to get Leon. However, Savo frowned and thought about it carefully, and finally replied, "I will choose Manu Ginobili." ”

Leon clapped his hands and said, "That's right, the same as my answer." The sun is missing a demon knife. “
