The Whip of the God of Basketball

Chapter 24: Celtics' CTO

   Leon didn't know that he had become the sand in the eyes of others.

In fact, it is not just the sand of Leon. In May of this year, two former Hall of Fame players in Boston, Bob Cousy, became marketing consultants for the Celtics, and Jojo White became special. Head of business department.

   So, after Pitino failed again this season, his own reorganization of the Celtics management is no longer so stable. It's just that Cousy and White are all positions in the team's marketing operations department and are not directly involved in the operation of the team's basketball affairs. Leon is different. The scout will be an important member of the management.

Of course, compared with these two famous Celtics, Leon is really uncompromising sand, so far, the Celtics know that he has become a team scout. More than three.

  Jie Westland is one of the three. He is the new technical director of the Celtics this year, which is also the CTO. This is a new position that the Boston Celtics just created this year.

   In the past, a basketball team didn't seem to need a technical director. But now with the widespread application of IT technology, many teams are beginning to realize that new technologies can be effective in team management, and have begun to recruit technical talents.

This top student who graduated from the Computer Science Department of Colorado State University has a passion for basketball, but his basketball resume is completely blank. He has never been a player or coach. He has never been a basketball player. He is just a technical man. .

In this rookie training camp, he also followed the scout team to Chicago to do some data assistance work, and today he received a very, very "important" task, which is to greet the new team flying from Boston at Chicago Airport in the early morning. Scout.

   When he was sitting in the waiting room of Chicago Airport and drinking his fifth cup of coffee, the flight from Boston to Chicago on the display finally arrived safely.

"Finally it's **** here. If it's a little bit late, let that guy sleep in the airport hotel... Damn it, it's half past one. I hope I don't fall asleep on the way back." Weissland looked at his watch, mouth Li complained.

   As the CTO of the team, he was also named as the director anyway, and he was sent to the airport to meet a scout. And Wesland knows that this guy’s background is a 28-year-old young man who seems to have just been released from prison. In the past, it seemed to have something to do with boxing, not basketball, and even a career as a scout. No, I don't know what's wrong with the Celtics management to ask such a guy as a scout.

Thinking of this, Wesland yawned, stood up from the chair in the waiting room and stretched his body, watching the crowd slowly pouring out from the passage, hoping that the scout named Fox-Leon could appear earlier .

Weissland didn’t have a photo of Leon, he only had Leon’s cell phone number. He flipped out the phone book from his jacket pocket, and made two calls in the public telephone booth to the side but couldn’t get through. He appeared to get off the plane. Leon's phone did not turn on afterwards.

   Weissland is so anxious this time, he doesn't have a big brand for pick-up, because that's really ugly. But now Wesland doesn't know Leon, and Leon doesn't know Wesland. Will we have to wait until everyone in the hall is gone and the two of them can recognize each other?

   Just when Wesland was in a hurry, a young man who had just come out of the passage, wearing a white shirt and khaki trousers and a sports backpack on his back, walked towards him. Wesland stared at him, and the other person walked straight over. Wesland felt that this was probably the Fox-Lion he was waiting for, with long black curly hair, black eyes, and mixed race.

   But Westland couldn't see the question from the opponent's eyes, so he suspected that the other party was not coming towards him, but there were other people behind him, so he looked back to both sides, but there was no one else.

   "Don't look, hello, Wesland, this is Fox-Leon." Leon has already walked up to Wesland and stretched out his right hand to him.

   Only then did Westland know that this man is Fox-Leon, the new scout he wants to meet.

  Weissland hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Leon, and at the same time asked, "Did Carl give you my picture? I haven't seen you before. Have you seen me?"

   Leon shook his head and replied, "No, Karl didn't give me a photo, and I haven't seen you, but I have seen your phone book, the phone book of the Boston Celtics."

At this time, Wesland realized that he was still holding the phone book in his left hand. This is a phone book sent by the Celtics. It has a green cover and the Celtics logo printed on it-one is wearing a cane. Irish goblin "Lucky" in a clover print dress.

   "Oh, my god, I just dialed your cell phone from a public phone, but your cell phone doesn't seem to be turned on." Hearing Leon's words, Wesland put the phone book in his pocket.

  We are still more used to using public phones on business trips, because the team has issued them IC cards for public phones. It is still quite expensive to use Boston mobile phones in Chicago.

   "My phone is out of power. It was about to be turned off after getting on the plane, so I didn't change the battery." Leon said as he took out the phone from his schoolbag and replaced it with a spare battery, turned on the phone, and a lot of text messages popped up.

   are all from Khomeinis.

   Leon flipped roughly. Khomeinis meant that Leon would remember to reply when he arrived in Chicago, and then said a lot of messy things that Leon didn't understand.

   Leon replied briefly, telling Khomeinis that he had arrived in Chicago, and he would notify her when he returned to Boston, and then threw the phone back into his backpack.

  ……………………

  On the way back, Leon didn't say much. Wesland had a chance to talk to Leon to open up the topic and relieve the feeling of sleepiness, but Leon obviously had no interest in chatting.

   In this way, Wesland endured sleepiness and drove the rented car in the dark, while Leon sat in the passenger seat thinking about it.

   Chicago is not dark at all in the early morning, and the lights are brilliant. The third largest city in the United States exudes his charm with lights.

   "What shall I do from tomorrow?" Leon finally asked, and there are some things that I can't think of with my head.

   "I don't know." Wesland replied simply and cleanly, just as Leon answered his question just now.

   "Do I need to record the data of those players?" Leon asked again.

"Perhaps, but a statistician can do that kind of thing. Just a high school student will do." Weissland replied stabbingly. He didn't like Leon very much. This guy made him stay up all night and wait until now. Ignore.

   "Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore you, but I was thinking about how I should start my work." Leon said frankly and expressed a small apology to Wesland.

   One of Leon’s advantages is his upright personality. Unlike some Americans who like to say witty words, he has always been frank and sincere. Sometimes his honesty is overwhelming.

  Weissland was also a little embarrassed, and said in a slow tone, "Don't worry, everything is prepared. I will show you something when I go back to the hotel later."

An hour later, the two arrived at the Athletics Association Hotel on the famous 12 Michigan Avenue in Chicago. This was a famous track and field club in Chicago at the end of the 19th century. Later, the club was transformed into a grand hotel and became Chicago. One of the most famous hotels.

  Different from other high-class modern five-star hotels, the Athletics Association Hotel is elegant and retro. Its main building is a 19th-century stone building, and the lobby is decorated with large stained glass, which looks very elegant.

   Leon followed Westland into this place. He could feel the wealth of the NBA team. If there is no money, the company will not let its employees stay in such a hotel during the business trip.

"Your room is on the fourth floor, right next to me, and the scout team’s room is on the fifth floor. They should all be asleep now, and I will meet them tomorrow morning. Okay, let’s take a look at your room first, I Some necessary supplies are already in your room." Wesland said as he walked, and brought Leon to his room, located at 4019 on the fourth floor.

   Leon is also a little curious. A hotel like this should have all kinds of daily necessities. What are the necessities to prepare, and what is the thing that Westland said to show him.

When he arrived at the room and opened the door, Leon found that it was a nicely decorated single room, with a large single bed, and an old vaulting horse used in the past was placed on the head of the bed, which could be used to put clothes. UU看书wwww .uukanshu.com also meets the title of Athletics Association Hotel.

   But Leon soon discovered that it was different from the other rooms. It was placed on the table. There was a large dictionary on paper, with densely written words.

   "This is what you want to show me and my necessities?" Leon asked, pointing to the stack of paper.

Wesland nodded, and then said: "There are two pieces of information here, one for this rookie training camp and the other for the Celtics. This is our technical department prepared for the scout team. Yes, I hope you take the time to take a good look. It’s best to take a look at it during the day. The training camp will start tomorrow... It’s a little bit now, it’s not early, I’m sleepy too, take a rest early, and the coaching staff will give it to you tomorrow Good-looking, come on buddy."

   After speaking, Wesland and Leon said goodnight, and Leon also nodded and said goodbye to Wesland.

But Wesland just closed the door and knocked on the door again. He said to Leon who opened the door: "By the way, I forgot one thing. In the drawer of the table, there is a special information. Regarding our coaching staff...If you are not particularly sleepy, you can open them and take a look."

   The information about the Celtics coaching staff is obviously not within the scope of the information needed by the scout team. It seems that this was prepared for Leon alone.

   "Who prepared it for me?" Leon asked.

   "Hehehe, I think you would have guessed it, there is a strategist." Weissland smiled mysteriously and closed the door.

   Don’t guess, Leon knows that Auerbach must have prepared it.
