The party lasted until about eleven o'clock in the evening, because the team had to train the next day, and the excessive noise was easy to arouse the disgust of the neighbors and even attract the police, so Leon had to announce the end of the party, and everyone needed to go back to their respective homes, wash and sleep directly.

The young lads and girls were clearly unsatisfied, the Celtics players were all energetic, and Walker and Arenas were even more reluctant to get off the table. Although the gambling money is not large, but the fun lies in the process, plus there are many acquaintances and friends onto watch, the two are you and I are very happy, just playing stud for more than an hour. As a veteran of the casino, Walker won a little more, while Arenas was not as old as Walker, and he was not as experienced and cunning as Walker, and he lost a little money.

But he was stubborn by nature and refused to give up until he won a few more handfuls, so when Leon announced that the party was over, he still stayed at the table and refused to leave, insisting on pulling Walker to fight it out for the last time. Walker also wanted to have a final showdown with Arenas, but when he looked at Leon, he felt a little empty. Sure enough, Leon walked to the table and put all the cards in one fell swoop to end the game.

"Fawkes, it's not over yet, I'm going to do it again with Antoine, one last time, just one last time." Arenas looks like a gambler who is anxious to lose, and begs Leon to give him another chance. In fact, he only lost a few thousand dollars tonight, which was nothing compared to his salary, but his competitive spirit made him have to win back at the table.

"OK, since you have to come for the last time, let's play a simple 21 points, decide the winner at once, and bet all your money now." Leon saw that the time was not early, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with the two people, so he was ready to be a dealer directly, and let the two of them use a simple 21 points to let them duel it out.

Leon saw that both men agreed. He shuffled a deck of cards in his hand carefully, and his shuffling technique was not actually skilled, but it was very meticulous and organized. After stacking the deck of cards, he dealt one card to Walker and one card to Arenas. Both continued to bid, and Leon dealt one to each of them, and when the third card was dealt, Arenas stopped asking for cards and looked like he was winning.

Walker, on the other hand, continued to ask for cards, and Walker felt a little bad as Arenas gracefully pulled the cards onto the table. After asking for the fourth card, he has two fives, a two, and an eight, which is already 20 points, unless Arenas is 21 points, and Walker wins. But looking at Arenas's determined look, Walker was a little hesitant, did he pretend, or did he really have 21 points?

Walker couldn't help but glance up at Leon. It was found that Leon's expression was relaxed and not as serious as usual. It's strange to think that Coach Leon would invite the whole team of young people to his house for a party, and it was a really good party. Everyone had a great time. In the past, Walker's impression was that this coach who came out of nowhere had a cold and savage aura on him, even if he wore a neat suit after becoming the head coach. I can't change the smell of my body.

While he is highly respected by the players because he is truly remarkable, he has never met such a unique coach in Walker's basketball career. But Leon also struggled to please the players, and the hermit-like coach disappeared from the players' sight at the end of a day's training, except for that time at the Golden God Casino, where he was rarely seen.

"Do you want to bid, Antoine? It's not too early. Leon's question interrupted Walker's train of thought, Walker thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "One more!" "If you lose, you lose, anyway, what he Antoine Walker has is money, and those fox friends, seven aunts and eight aunts squandered him less money? I don't care about the tens of thousands of dollars anymore.

Leon dealt the last card to Walker, and Walker, who got the card, did not dare to turn it over directly, but first touched it with his hand, in fact, he couldn't touch it, and then nestled in the palm of his hand and slowly removed the fingers covering the corner of the card. He almost jumped up from the bench when he saw the letter A peeking out of his fingers, and then roared happily and slammed the cards in his hand on the table.

"21 o'clock! I'm 21 o'clock! Walker shouted at Arenas, whose originally happy face became a little surprised, but instead of getting frustrated, he turned over his cards, which were a jack, a 9 and a 2, also exactly 21. The two were tied.

"Well, both of them are 21 o'clock, tie, and they are all happy. Let's bring our own things and get ready to go home. Leon put away the cards and ordered the two to be evicted.

Walker didn't say a word, and directly hugged Leon to say goodbye, and Arenas was reluctant to say something more, but was pulled out of Leon's house by Walker.

"The coach wants us to draw, it's a tie, and if you keep playing and make him unhappy, he'll make you lose all your pants at his house." Out of Leon's house, Walker taught Arenas a lesson. Walker, who has seen Leon's strength, understands that 21 points is a complete plaything in Leon's hands, and if you let him shuffle the cards and deal cards, basically whoever he wants to win can win.

Arenas didn't understand, Walker didn't explain much, just said: "Don't let the coach know that you gamble in the future, and don't go out to gamble, otherwise he will let you die a miserable death." With that, Walker returned to his Ferrari with the money he had won, and left with his girlfriend. Arenas was still in the dark, but his girlfriend's greeting interrupted him, and he knew it was time to leave.

Leon's home finally quieted down, a lively party, leaving a room full of garbage and the smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and barbecue, as well as a tired Leon and Khomeenez.

"Tired." Leon fell on the couch and said to Khamenez, who was cleaning up the mess, that he really admired Holmenis at this time, and that she really had plenty of energy.

"Rest early, Fox, you've got to train tomorrow and start the game the day after tomorrow." Holmenes told Leon to go to rest first, but Leon got up from the couch and helped Holmenes clean up the large objects, and then opened the window to diffuse the smell. After tossing for a while, it was already early in the morning. By the time the two of them lay down on the bed, it was so quiet outside the window that even the gnats and crickets had stopped chirping.

"Why did you ask me to buy a set?" Although Leon was tired, his mind had not yet completely calmed down, and he suddenly thought of a question and asked Khomemenez. There were sets of supplies for today's party, and Leon couldn't figure out what Khomemenes was buying them for, but he bought them anyway.

"Because the house is running out......" Khomemenes replied in a daze, she was already sleepy.

Leon took Khomeenes into his arms, and both of them fell asleep.

…………………………

Early the next morning, that is, on February 2, when Leon arrived at the training hall, he counted the number of players and found that there were many of them, and everyone had attended the training on time. It is worthy of a young man in his youth, no matter how late he sleeps, he can get up alive in the morning.

"Today we will have a physical training! The time runs from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., followed by an hour of defensive training in preparation for tomorrow's game. Well, it's going to be a tough day, so come on, everyone! "Leon's remarks before the start of official training made the players a little weak, and I didn't expect Leon to do physical training today. Hess's physical training intensity is extremely high, and because of this, the frequency is not too high, and he usually conducts a dedicated team-wide physical training once a week.

The process of physical training is very painful, and for basketball players, their physical fitness is not only about endurance, but also about explosiveness, static, jumping ability, speed, and acceleration, which are all important parts of Hess's physical training.

"Keep the intensity under control, I don't want them to be grandma in tomorrow's game." Leon instructed Strength and Conditioning Head Coach Hess from the sidelines. "Understood. Actually, I've been training a little bit more intensely than I was at the start of the season, but the players probably don't feel it because they're getting more fit, these lads...... I hope that systematic physical exercises can be carried out in the summer, which will improve the physical fitness qualitatively. "Hess has just been poached in the summer, and he hasn't had time to design the most comprehensive and systematic physical training program for the whole Celtics team, so everything will be left to this summer.

"Also, last night's party was good, everyone was happy, don't you think everyone is training in a better atmosphere?" Hess went on to say that he had also been invited to the party last night. In the cold of February, he had to strip naked and swim with Eric Williams, but luckily Leon's pool was a heated pool, otherwise the two of them would have to catch a cold.

"The next time you come to my house for a swim, I'll turn off the thermostat." Leon quipped, provoking Hess to shake his head and laugh. It seems that a small holiday and a happy party have reduced the frustration caused by the previous big loss to the Pistons, as well as the pressure from all sides.

The road ahead of León at the time did not open much because of this, doubts and criticism would continue to come if they could not achieve victory, and it was not enough to rely on a party to unite everyone in a team.

Now, Fox Leon understands that he's going to be more than just head coach of the Boston Celtics, but that he has to be the boss of this team, the real boss, like a superstar. Otherwise, he will not be able to bear any risks, and only by becoming the captain of a big ship can he resist storms and waves. (To be continued.) )
