Leon and Nash said such a sentence and stopped saying anything, but continued to carefully watch the progress of the training camp on the field. Nash no longer asks more. He has long heard of Fox Leon's style. He is not the kind of coach who likes to talk about it. He is calm and almost cold, and has a high IQ brain and super calculation ability. He is different from ordinary coaches. He started as a scout and can often provide important opinions on drafts and transactions. It is said that behind the super big deal in Boston is Fox-Leon's pin-sharing credit.

He recovered the glory of the Boston dynasty and led Boston to rebuild the Third Reich. However, at the peak of his career, he retired and went to college as a coach. Now he is back again, but he is not well-known in Las Vegas. In the garbage training camp, I watched with gusto, and Nash really couldn't understand, not at all.

After about fifteen minutes, Leon finally turned around and said to Nash: "Do you know the biggest problem facing the Phoenix Suns in these three years?"

Nash shook his head, obviously he wanted to listen, and leaned over. In the past three years, Nash has achieved unparalleled brilliance. From an all-star point guard to an mvp-level superstar, it can be described as a late bloomer. But the Suns are always one step away from the championship, not only the championship, they are always one step away from the finals, blocking the Spurs and Mavericks in front of them.

The troika has dominated the West for three years. The Spurs and Mavericks have entered the finals. The Spurs are now leading 2-0 in the finals. Not surprisingly, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not be the opponents of the old Spurs. They have a chance to play. After the Boston Dynasty regained the championship. The Sun, even unable to fight to the seventh game.

"Your first problem is that the offense is not strong enough." Leon said.

This answer surprised Nash. He had heard a lot of criticisms and opinions about the Suns. Most of them were clichés such as "no defense", "no inside line", "too few rotations" and so on. Leon said they were Isn’t the Sun’s offense strong enough? Since 2005, they have always maintained the league's strongest offensive firepower and the most points. [Zero ↑ ​​Nine △ Small ↓ said that △ Net created a dazzling seven-second V-word attack, which can be described as sweeping the NBA for a while. Leon said that their offense was not strong enough?

Leon did not give too much explanation and continued: "Your team does not pay attention to the use of draft picks in development, wastes the opportunity to create fresh blood, ignores the basic structure, and always spins in place. Three years. The time, you know, can change a lot."

Nash agrees with this point. Because the regular season record is very good, the first and second round picks of the Suns are not high, so the team management does not pay attention to it. They often trade with other teams for cash and exchange. Other draft picks, and don't seriously train rookies, everything serves the Nash system, everything serves shelling. In fact, shelling does not exercise the players' technical and tactical capabilities.

After talking about these two points, Leon pointed to the field and said: "Look, here are some ordinary and mediocre players, without too high talent, at most a second-round pick. But I decided After returning to the NBA, the first thing is to come here to watch these players play. I hope to find value from them, here I can find the feeling of the first job."

Leon’s first job was a scout, and he often came into contact with those on the margins of the NBA. For him, picking up treasure from the trash was an interesting and useful job.

"Then have you found any outstanding people?" Nash asked.

Leon shook his head and said: "No, this year's draft, there is not much that I like. But my European informant told me that he might have something that interests me."

"When will the Sun announce his inauguration?" Nash asked again. So far, Leon’s comeback from the Sun has only existed in theory, without signing a contract, and without an official announcement before the media.

"Now," Leon said.

After speaking, Leon jumped out of the stands, walked to the sidelines, and stood in a conspicuous position. He was quickly spotted by sharp-eyed scouts, and then a reporter rushed over and took pictures of him. There are few reporters here today. It is a little reporter from the sports newspaper of the day who is not well-known. He is going to take two photos and upload them to the Internet to write something to join the task. Anyway, no one will watch this kind of small training camp. News.

Unexpectedly, I saw Fox Leon on the sidelines, this ace coach who disappeared in the NBA for more than a year, but what surprised him even more was that he soon discovered that there was still a person standing behind Leon. Take a closer look. It's Steve Nash!

The little reporter snapped at the two of them, thinking about what kind of news they would compose tonight. By the way, it was called "Championship coach Fox Leon and Nash meet in Las Vegas. Maybe they are in Discuss the ownership of the next champion."

Just thinking about it, Leon beckoned to the reporter and asked him to come over. The reporter walked over with some worry, because he knew that Fox-Leon's iron fist was as famous as his coaching ability.

"Hey, do you have any plans to make up news tonight?" Leon asked the reporter.

The reporter nodded tremblingly, and shrank his head, for fear that Leon would come over and blow his head with a fist.

"Then you don't need to make up, let me tell you, Fox Leon is back today to join the Phoenix Suns, I will cooperate with Steve Nash, he is behind me now." Leon said to the reporter. After speaking, he turned and left.

At this moment, not only the little reporter, but some other people around them all rushed in, trying to hold Leon and Nash to ask something.

Leon shouted to the two bodyguards who had been following him: "Hey, what are you two doing? Help me stop them!"

Two bodyguards hurried forward to help Leon and Nash hold the crowd, and then the two left the sports center.

"Hey, aren't we here to be bodyguards?" a security guard said suddenly.

"Yes, we are here to stare at Fox Leon."

But at this time, Leon and Nash had no idea where they were.

……………………

"Tomorrow I will go to Phoenix to meet the boss, and Steve Kerr, and talk to them about team building, trading and drafting." Leon and Nash drove two bodyguards. The car, driving on the Las Vegas Strip, they are going to the Venetian Hotel.

"I don't know what kind of changes Cole will bring. I am looking forward to your combination with him." Nash said.

"No, to tell you the truth, Cole is an idiot. In order to prove himself, he will definitely make drastic changes to the Suns lineup. But I bet this guy definitely wants to strengthen the team's defense, and then get a strong inside to deal with Tey. Duncan. This guy's mind is so simple now, I want to change his mind." Leon was dissatisfied with Cole.

"I don't understand why you still said that our offense is not strong enough, I think our offense is good enough." Nash mentioned this problem that bothers him again, why Leon said that the sun's first problem is offense.

"Because without you, the sun is rubbish." Leon said.

After that, Nash didn't know if Leon was boasting himself or cursing the sun. Indeed, Nash is so important to the Suns. Once there is no Nash, the Suns are like changing a team.

"A team with the absolute core of point guards, over-reliance on point guards, is almost a common problem. So the Detroiters had a group of bad boys back then, and the Lakers had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. If the Suns decide to build a team with you as the core, they should Give you more support." Leon explained.

"Also, D'Antoni's tactics are as good as if he had as many beards as his beards. Many times you play too monotonously, because you are the only brain." Leon added.

"Don't we have two brains now?" Nash said with a smile.

The two smiled at each other, and they happened to have driven to the Venetian Hotel.

When he got off the car at the hotel, Leon said to the car boy who parked: "This is the car from your hotel. Give it back to you."

The boy recognized that this was Fox-Leon, and the car was indeed owned by the hotel’s security department. I heard that two security personnel were sent to stare at Leon. I don’t know how the car was driven back by Leon. .

The Venetian Hotel is a well-known comprehensive casino hotel in Las Vegas. The decoration inside imitates the Italian Venetian style, with artificially constructed rivers, bridges and waterside buildings, making people feel as if they have come to the water city of Venice.

A security guard of the hotel saw Fox-Leon coming in and immediately greeted him and said: "Hello Mr. Fox-Leon~lightnovelpub.net~ Your room has been prepared for you, it is upstairs, please follow me."

Leon nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will leave tomorrow. I am not going to bet here. I have serious business."

The security guard breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good...oh no, that's really a shame, I will report to the boss."

Nash followed and asked, "Do I need to register?"

Leon said: "No, I always brush my face in Las Vegas. They wish I could stay in the hotel room every day, otherwise they would pay me the rent again."

"pay rent?"

Seeing that Nash was a little strange, Leon explained to Nash. Because his salary income is basically handed over to his wife Khomeinis for custody, he does not have much pocket money. Every time he wants to use money, he goes to Las Vegas to gamble. rent". Of course, the casino owner is afraid of Leon collecting rent, and usually sends security guards to stare at him. If he wants to gamble, he should remind the casino in time. But this time, the minds of the two bodyguards discharged from the Venetian Hotel were not very good. The whip of the **** of basketball
