Khomeenes finished eating the chicken leg in her hand and wiped her hands with a tissue, she watched Leon sitting on the sofa in a daze, and asked worriedly, "What are you thinking?" Wondering why Auerbach did this? Do you hate him a little bit, and want to put up so many obstacles for you? ”

Khomeenez knew Leon's feelings for Auerbach, and during this month, she accompanied Leon on a vacation and helped Leon with advice and information. The conjecture that everything was manipulated by Auerbach was developed by Ayatollah Khomeenez, who, with a woman's intuition, pointed out that the most unlikely person was often the final answer.

Leon shook his head and said, "I'll never hate him, even if he doesn't let me be the head coach anymore...... I'm just wondering if that solution will work...... I never thought that being a successful coach would have to be that complicated. “

Khomemenes touched Leon's head, rubbed Leon's hair with her slender fingers, which she liked to rub his shiny black hair, and said, "If you start playing since you were a child, get on the middle school team." Then I went to the college team, and there was a coach who was still well-known in the basketball world, and he played basketball in college for four years, and then tried to play professional basketball without success. So he stayed in school to work in basketball, starting as a team leader, then as a college scout, to an assistant coach, and then to be recommended by the head coach to be a head coach at a certain school. During this time, you may make a name for yourself in the NCAA, or you may enter the professional basketball circle by chance and become a basketball worker, and after five to ten years of training, you can start to be a head coach, and you can add your basketball ideas to your own team. You can succeed or you may fail, you may stay in the NBA for a long time, or you may leave quickly. It will take about 30 years to get to this point. But. Fox, my dear, you have completed the path of others in thirty years in only three years, so it is only natural that this path is a little more complicated. “

"You preach exactly like your father." After listening to a large passage from Ayatollah Khomeenez, Leon joked that Pagliuca, as one of the team owners, also likes to make long speeches.

Khomeenes smashed Leon's arm with her fist, glared at him with a look of disgust, then got up and took out a book from her bag and handed it to Leon and asked, "Have you finished reading this book?" “

In her hand is the famous work of group psychology by the French sociologist, The-crowd. A week earlier, Khomeenes had recommended the book to Leon for him to peruse.

Leon glanced at it, took the book from Khomeenez's hand, flipped through it, and said, "I read more than half of it, and I just saw 'Group Leaders and Their Persuasions,' 'If you want to quickly lead a group of people and make them determined to do something...... They must be influenced by prompt hints, and the power of example works best of all...... If you want ideas and beliefs to penetrate into the minds of the crowd, the leader's approach is different. They took three very clear approaches, assertion, repetition and infection ......"

Leon read one of them, and he was a very fast reader, with a glance and an amazing memory. But he read the book very slowly, because every paragraph he reads he gets into deep thought, thinking about what he's done since he became the head coach with the Celtics, thinking about what he says about coaching a team. Taking control of a team doesn't help.

A week earlier, Leon and Ayatollah Khomeenes were in Detroit, where they were collecting old NBA news from the past. There was a lot of coverage, columns, and news about the Celtics and Pistons confrontation in the mid-to-late eighties. After sorting out how the bad boy army reached the top step by step, Khomeenez put forward an opinion to Leon, hoping that Leon could use this fight and ban to change the image of silence and calm in the past, and transform into a dictator who is good at agitating, speaking and exaggerating.

Khomeenez believes that in the NBA, a place full of confrontational hormones, passion is always on the court, and the team as a group is very susceptible to emotions rather than reason, and a three-minute well-reasoned analysis during a timeout is not as good as a ten-second incitement.

Quoting Le Pen in The Rabble, Khomeiniz quotes that "the impulses to which the crowd obeys, which can be generous or cruel, heroic or cowardly, will all be so powerful that neither personal interests nor self-preservation can match it." “

When there has been more and more negative news about Leon in recent times, Khamenez is not worried about Leon at all, she does not think that these negative news will really hurt Leon, for competitive sports, as long as the final victory can be achieved, all the negative news in the past will disappear, and become a wonderful footnote for the prodigal son's return.

Instead, Khomemenez sees it as an opportunity, an opportunity for León and Celtic. When those **** chattering media say words of praise in order to cater to the fans, they often have a set of plan B prepared behind their backs, and come out to criticize when the flattered team encounters a setback, which will only hurt the players and the team. On the contrary, when the teams and players who have been questioned and disregarded are forced to really focus on basketball itself, success often follows, and the sweet words on the newspaper pages come unexpectedly.

If the Celtics and León have been receiving praise from the media, or those seemingly "serious" compliments, some hopeful compliments, then they may encounter a rollercoaster of public opinion on the bumpy road ahead, with unpredictable highs and lows. The most striking example is Anfernee Hardaway and his Orlando Magic, and while it was stupid management and injuries that ruined the Magic, optimism led to the blindness of the entire team and the city at the time, and thus the motivation to see the future and unite as one.

Ayatollah Khomeiniz proposed a strategy for Leon, which is to let him learn from Isiah Thomas, figure out the psychology of those media and fans, say something inappropriate when needed, break some negative news, and let public opinion always maintain a high-pressure posture against him and the Celtics. On the premise that the team's record does not collapse, this kind of high pressure will only make the Celtics group more united and more centripetal.

Just like the New York Knicks in 1999, the outside world is not optimistic, constant injuries, and the eighth playoff position in the East have made the Knicks fall into a tragic fantasy of being the enemy of the whole world, thus bursting out with huge mental combat effectiveness, all the way to the finals, until they fell under the cold Spurs twin towers.

That's why Leon approached Andy Miller to confirm Popper's position on the one hand and make a request that Miller couldn't even figure out.

Of course, Leon still has doubts about this strategy, which is undoubtedly fighting poison with poison, dancing on the edge of the cliff, once he is not well controlled, not only will he be ruined, but it will also lead to the Celtics falling apart again, after all, the current NBA is not as rough as it was in the 80s, and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is strong, this is a business league, pay attention to façade and brand, God knows how excessive negative news will make Stern punish this stubborn green tumor.

Khomeenes...... Maybe...... I mean, maybe, if the plan doesn't work out, then I'll leave like a clown, laughing at everyone's shame, more embarrassed than Pitino, O'Brien, and Carol used to be. Like three years ago when I was in a bar and I broke the bridge of the nose of three guys and walked out the door blowing the cold wind, I felt like the world was all strange. Leon looked at Khamenez and voiced his concerns.

Khomeenez stepped forward and grabbed Leon's head, took the book from his hand, turned to the chapter on "The Faith of the Community", and read: "Today, most rulers do not have altars, but have statues or portraits. People adore them as they did in the past. Only by understanding this basic point of group psychology can we understand a little bit of the philosophy of history. For the community, there must be a God, otherwise nothing can be said of anything...... Fawkes, either to ashes or to the ...... of God" (To be continued.) )
