The Whip of the God of Basketball

Chapter 42: Training camp started

   In the Tufts Medical Center, the nearest hospital to the Buzzer Club, a surgical nurse was helping Leon bandage his injured hand. All four fingers except his thumb were cut by glass, and there were many small debris inside. Fortunately, the bones were not injured. Leon’s phalanx was as hard as iron bars. The nurse cleaned the wound with hydrogen peroxide and iodine, gently picked out the large glass block with tweezers, and then used normal saline to remove the broken glass. Rinse it well, and finally put anti-inflammatory medicine on Leon's hand and wrapped it with gauze.

Leon sat on the stool, whether it was cleaning the wound or picking up the glass, it would be a little painful, but his eyebrows did not wrinkle, Khomeinis on the side has been holding Leon's right arm tightly with her left hand, watching the nurse seriously. The wound, as if afraid of her making a mistake.

Morena was sitting on the bench in the corridor. Obviously she was a little frightened. She was not as strong as Khomeinis, especially when he saw Paul Pierce being stabbed to the ground with a sharp knife. The abdomen was pulled out with bright red blood. Such a scene is not something an ordinary girl who only knows how to talk about love can bear.

   Just next door to where Leon sits, in the emergency room, Paul Pierce is lying on the intensive care bed, but he is not wearing a ventilator or intubation, but his face is not very good. There were a lot of people around the bed, including his teammate Tony Barty and his brother Derek Barty, the security and boss of the bar, and the police who rushed to receive a 911 call.

   Leon went to the intensive care unit to visit Pierce after the wound was bandaged. By the way, he talked with the visiting Boston detective William Toner about the situation.

"I heard the sound of glass breaking and screaming from the stairs, and then my friend ran up. I was a little worried that she would also go up with him. Then I saw Pierce fall on the ground and a group of people beating him Someone wanted to stab him with a knife, so I picked up a beer bottle and smashed him. He rushed towards me and wanted to hit me with a beer bottle. I knocked him out with a punch, and then the security and Pierce’s friend arrived. That's it." Leon described the thrilling two minutes in a few words.

Tona looked at Leon’s hand and then at Leon’s face. He recognized Leon. Tona still remembered Leon’s riot in the bar a few months ago. He asked: "You Is it Fox-Leon? That guy making trouble in the bar?"

   Now Leon understands what good things do not go out and bad things spread thousands of miles away, so he can only smile and say: "Yes, but that's all in the past. I am now working for the Celtics."

   Tona was a little surprised to hear Leon say this, but he didn't want to ask more because it had nothing to do with the case. Then he asked for some details. Leon can almost be said to be the best witness in the world. He can answer every question of Tona in detail and truthfully, so detailed that Tona can't ask.

Of course Leon also said the name of the assailant. Raglan, it seems that Tona is not unfamiliar with this name. Before leaving, Tona La Leon stepped aside and said to him: "Leon, you are a good witness. We will try our best to protect your safety, but I still want to tell you, pay attention to your own safety. I have heard about you before, deliberately making trouble and going to jail, probably trying to avoid Frank. Good idea, but you have to know It’s not too late for those Irish men to take revenge for ten years. Fortunately, Barger absconded and Kevin Cox also surrendered. Frank has been under investigation recently, and it’s not easy to have time to trouble you. Now you are in trouble again. Kurt’s people, I advise you to come to South Boston less and stay in North Shore Garden. Also, I hope the Celtics can win quickly. It’s been a long time since we watched a playoff game in Boston."

After speaking, Tona left the hospital with his assistants and other police. The bar security and the boss also left after asking about the situation. Leon asked Khomeinis to call a taxi to take the frightened Morena off. Back home, only Leon, Brother Barty and Pierce lying in the hospital were left in the hospital.

Batty looked up and down Leon. Obviously he already knew that this was the new Celtics scout, a person who often appeared in recent rumors about the Celtics. Some people said he was amazing, he was a basketball player. A genius; some people say this is a liar, a second-rate man who has been in prison. Now Batty finally saw me, a brave and cold guy, no matter if he sits or stands there, he has a breathtaking aura.

Barty is 6 feet 11 inches tall. Facing Leon, who was in his early 6 feet, he felt his head lowered. Especially when he heard that he knocked down Ragland and shackled a dozen people, he looked at him more. In awe.

   Leon seemed very natural and introduced himself to Batty and Pierce. Batty shook hands with Leon amicably and thanked him for saving Pierce. After driving off the thugs, Leon quickly helped Pierce to fix the wound and then carried him into the car with Batty and sent him to the hospital.

   It was Pierce who was lying on the bed and just nodded to Leon. Maybe he was still weak and couldn't say thank you, but Leon saw the frustration in his eyes.

   He can understand Pierce’s mood at this time. A sports hero in Boston was knocked to the ground by a group of second-rate guys somewhere in the city and almost died.

   Pierce is a competitive guy on the court. He is the same off the court. In the bar he clashed with the opponent because of a woman. He kept spitting trash and humiliating the opponent like on the court. But a bar is different from a stadium. There are referees and cameras in the stadium, but there are no police officers in the bar, and the opponent has knives and accomplices.

   His injury was not serious because of Leon's help, but his self-esteem was harmed, and his mentality was also traumatized. Such wounds are more difficult to recover than physical injuries.

   Of course, he is still very grateful to Leon. When Leon was about to leave the hospital and go home, Pierce said to him, "Be careful on the road and take care of yourself."

  ……………………

   The news that Pierce was stabbed in a bar quickly made headlines, not only in Boston, but in the United States, it became a hot news spot. Just a moment after Leon left the hospital, reporters came to interview him.

   However, the Celtics quickly acted. They sent medical experts to the hospital to conduct a physical examination on Pierce and set out to make a rehabilitation plan for him. At the same time, the hiring of bodyguards for Pierce was also on the agenda.

   On the contrary, Leon’s incident did not appear in the media. Some articles just said that the security guard and Pierce’s friends came to rescue Pierce, and the police did not mention Leon during the media response. Obviously this is to protect Leon, neither let him be paid attention to by Frank and the others, nor allow the media to over-excavate Leon, after all, he has a lot of little secrets.

   Pierce’s accident slightly disrupted the Celtics’ training camp plan, but on September 29, the 2000-2001 season began at the Waltham Sports Club in Northwest Boston.

Early in the morning, Leon took the first light rail train from Boston to Waltham, and then took the bus to the Boston Sports Club next to the Cambridge Reservoir. As an American without a car, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, Traveling is so inconvenient. Now Leon has started to save money, ready to buy a second-hand car, otherwise he has to get up at 5:30 every day.

The Boston Sports Club is a newly built basketball training hall in recent years. It is much more advanced than the old venues in Marshfield. It has a training field, a gym, an office, a video room, a conference hall, and a locker room. Everything is available. Leon arrived at the office on the second floor. Pitino and Chris Wallace were already waiting for him.

   "Have you heard that Dennis Rodman has come to Boston?" Pitino asked Leon after entering the office.

   Leon nodded and replied: "Yes, I talked to him on the phone yesterday. He said that he has arrived in Boston and he will report to the training hall in the morning."

   "I hope so...well, get ready to go to the stadium. The first day of training is very important."

   This is not the first time Leon has come to the training hall. When the team tried out some free agents and rookies, Leon also came here to observe. However, it was Leon's first time to participate in the unified training of the whole team, and this time he will experience the whole process of NBA team training for the first time.

At around 8:30 in the morning, all the players except Pierce and Rodman were all present. Pitino told the players to practice warm-ups on the court freely, and wait for Rodman by the way, because he had not reported to Boston before, although Leon said he would come directly to the training hall today, but Pitino was still a little worried.

   "Don't worry Rick, I promise Rodman will come." Leon said firmly to Pitino.
