Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 542: A plan within a plan, Celtic storm!

February 2016, 2, Boston Celtics practice facility.

At this time, all the Celtics players had no intention of training and were waiting for someone to arrive.

At this time, the Celtics' training hall was already crowded with people.

Here, there are not only Celtics players, coaches, and trainers, but also many media from Boston and many Celtics legends.

To be able to cause such a big commotion among the Boston Celtics at this time, the person who came must be of high status.

In fact, there is no need to guess, you know who this group of Celtics are waiting for at this moment.

Of course, it is the superstar player that the Celtics acquired at a high price, Kawhi Leonard.

A Los Angeles player once again came to Boston.

The last player to win a championship with the Boston Celtics was from Los Angeles.

The Celtics are full of expectations for Leonard.

This season, with the Bobcats dominating the Eastern Conference and the rise of the Cavaliers and Heat, the Celtics are now under tremendous pressure.

So far, the top-ranked team in the Eastern Conference is the Bobcats.

The second and third teams in the Eastern Conference are the Cavaliers and the Heat, and the Celtics are now ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

This means that the Celtics will most likely play against the Bobcats in the Eastern Conference semifinals in the playoffs.

Let alone the finals, it looks like the Celtics can't even make it to the conference finals.

This is definitely not acceptable. The Celtics, a team that Danny Ainge has high hopes for, must not allow such a situation to happen.

This season, we will accept losing to Coach D and the Bobcats in the playoffs, but we absolutely cannot lose in the conference semifinals.

Therefore, there is still about half a month left before the trade deadline of this season. According to Danny Ainge's character, he can still grind a little more and exchange the first-round pick for a second-round one, which is not impossible.

However, Danny Ainge, who has always been stingy, didn't even bother to haggle with the Raptors and went straight to completing the deal.

The deal was completed without even contacting Leonard.

The Celtics don't even know what Leonard's attitude is and whether he is willing to end his injury immediately.

After all, Leonard's uncle has said that if the Raptors don't trade Leonard back to Los Angeles, he will not play.

Such calls also discouraged many small teams in the league that were interested in Leonard.

Not everyone can pursue such a goddess. No, not every team is worthy of pursuing such a goddess.

As one of the second-generation most powerful teams in the NBA, the Celtics are naturally qualified to pursue Leonard and also qualified to make Leonard fall in love with him.

Therefore, Danny Ainge is trying to do everything quickly, with the goal of improving the regular season record as soon as possible. He absolutely cannot let the chaos continue.

With James' new round of slump, the Celtics' defensive stability has become extremely poor.

After James lost his fighting spirit, he stood with his hands on his hips on the court, and no one tried to change him.

Danny Ainge can understand the amazing Monty's support for James. If you don't support him, what can you do?
Completely DNP James?

As long as you don't completely DNP James, you have to let James start.

If you don't let James start, his fighting spirit will get lower and lower, and then he will be really useless.

By then, how can we compete with the Bobcats?
If you want to beat the Bobcats and beat Coach D, James must have it.

James also knows this, so he is secretly competing with Paul.

Chris Paul, you betrayed me so much in that game that I couldn't compete with you for the leaderboard. But, can't you make me break down?
I collapse. Isn't that what you want to see? Then I collapse for you to see.

Anyway, he doesn't have the position of the boss or the position of the second in command, but in the Celtics, James' position as the third in command is still very stable.

No matter how he arranges himself, no matter how unhappy Paul is, no one can snatch James' position as the third player in the team, it is very stable.

So, when James started playing, the only ones who were anxious were the Celtics and Paul, but James was not worried at all.

Take it slow. No matter if they lost to the Bobcats in the divisional finals or in the semifinals, it’s a loss anyway. What does it have to do with him as the third-in-command of the team?
In the end, it should be you, Chris Paul, who should take the blame, right?

Taking advantage of the sympathy of the rest of the team in the Christmas game, James started the game.

The reason why James was able to get the sympathy of other team members after the Christmas game was really thanks to Paul. Paul really let the team down.

Anyone with a little compassion will cry for James when recalling this Christmas game.

They all felt it was inappropriate until James broke down.

It can only be said that during the time Paul was the boss, he was indeed not very qualified.

Although James is a little weak, you, Paul, can't bully James like that.

Everyone knows Paul's little tricks in competing for the top spot.

This is also Paul's shortcoming.

He is too cunning and makes his teammates feel insecure.

If Paul can be as established as he was in the Hornets, he will actually be a good boss.

But the Celtics are in a special situation. They have to compete for the top spot. Paul and Davis are competing for it, and James is also eyeing it covetously.

This exposed Paul's suspicious nature.

Now in the Celtics, Paul is extremely aggressive. Such aggressiveness not only makes James feel insecure, but other Celtics players also feel insecure.

This is also the reason why the Celtics had such a bad record during James' collapse.

Otherwise, with the Celtics' hard power, in the Eastern Conference, except for a few super teams, wouldn't the Celtics be able to beat them easily?
Isn't it because James is in the lead that the performance of other players who have problems with Paul is also on the rise?

Everyone is making moves together, and Chris Paul is now feeling very uncomfortable.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have treated James so badly in the Christmas game.

And this is why the Celtics players are now looking forward to Leonard's arrival.

Paul hopes that Leonard's arrival will give him more support. He and Leonard's playing styles are a perfect match, and Leonard will be very comfortable around him.

Leonard also seems to be an introverted player and should not compete with him for the boss position. He was bullied by Parker because he was too honest. As long as he doesn't bully him, such an honest player should follow his lead obediently.

With Leonard's support, he is no longer afraid of the combination of Davis and James.

The reason why he is so worried, so worried that it makes people scared, isn't it because he feels that there are always villains who want to harm him every day?
He dreams every day that Davis and James team up to deal with him.

Who makes Davis a die-hard fan of James?
If he could have the same support in the Celtics as he had in the Hornets and the Clippers, he could also be a generous, gentle and good boss.

In addition to Paul, other Celtics players are actually looking forward to Leonard's arrival at this time.

Leonard is young, capable, and a superstar. Many Celtics players hope that the team can have a third player.

It is said that a triangular relationship is the most stable relationship.

The Celtics are in chaos now because there are only two corners of the relationship.

The team has only two superstars, Davis and Paul.

Whoever James supports will have the advantage.

So Paul is afraid that James and Davis will get together every day.

Now that Leonard is here, the team has three superstars and is stable.

If it really doesn't work, it would be good if Leonard supports Paul, so that the team can be stable.

As Celtics players, they actually didn't want to play. In a top team like the Celtics, playing would deduct points from their impression and would be dangerous.

What's more, the general manager is Danny Ainge and the head coach is Magic Monty.

Everyone understands these things, but there is nothing we can do about it.

There is a problem within the team, what can they do?

It can be said that from the Celtics' management to the players, and to the amazing Monty as the head coach, all of them really need Leonard's arrival. At this time, Leonard, who had already arrived outside the Celtics' training hall, had a very bad look on his face.

He actually didn't want to come to the Celtics.

Come to the Celtics. He left the Spurs and left alone!

He left the Spurs because he wanted to be the protagonist.

Now coming to the Celtics, who are you going to play a supporting role for?
To Amazing Monty?
Instead of playing a supporting role for the magical Monty, he might as well stay in the Spurs and play a supporting role for Popovich and GDP. At least he can convince himself that he is repaying a favor.

How could he bear to play supporting roles to the magical Monty, Paul, and Davis?
Not only did he not want to come to the Celtics, his uncle also didn't want him to come to the Celtics.

Their home is in Los Angeles, and returning to Los Angeles is like returning home in glory. Los Angeles has the traffic that Uncle Ka is very eager for.

What do the Celtics have?
The Celtics also have some traffic, but does he dare to say anything nonsense about the Celtics?
The fans and celebrities of the Celtics are notoriously cruel and black-hearted.

Here, he will have a bunch of shackles on him.

The entire NBA and the whole world know that the Celtics are different from other NBA teams. The protagonists of this team are Red Cardinal, Danny Ainge, and Magic Monty. The players of this team, even Garnett, Pierce, and even Larry Bird, have to serve the team.

You do whatever the team wants you to do, including being traded away.

If Larry Bird hadn't retired, he might have been traded by the Celtics.

What he and Leonard need is a team that serves them, not a team they serve.

Clippers head coach Doc Reeves has stated that as long as he comes to the Clippers, the Clippers and he will serve Leonard.

Leonard will be the only star of the Clippers.

He made it so clear.

The Celtics are really sick for not going anywhere except to the Clippers and not playing games even if they go. They actually made an offer.

Uncle Ka was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. These were the Celtics. Even if he was angry, he couldn't continue to encourage his nephew to get hurt.

The Celtics are extremely powerful in the NBA. He can bully the Spurs and the Raptors, but he would never dare to bully the Celtics.

The Spurs seem to be very powerful, but in fact, it is only in the coaching field. In the high-level power of the NBA, the Spurs are not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Celtics.

If the Celtics really want to deal with Leonard, even if they can't kill Leonard, they can make it difficult for Leonard to survive in the NBA in the future.

He didn't want to offend the Celtics.

In the end, I could only report here with my nephew.

"Kawhi, maybe we need to change our thinking. Maybe it's not bad to stay with the Celtics and become the boss and legend of this team."

Uncle Ka finally sighed.

He hopes to control a team so that he can suck the blood of that team crazily.

Kawhi can get the boss position to realize his ambitions.

He can also make enough money for Kawhi.

Perfect things, because coming to the Celtics, it's impossible to be perfect.

If you really have to make a choice, of course Leonard's position and performance in the team are more important.

After all, in the NBA, even with the Celtics, as long as you have a good performance, Ding's salary will not be a problem. It's just that he can't continue to control the Celtics after he gets old and loses his looks.

Therefore, in the Celtics, you can only earn peak-level money and get peak-level status.

After his peak period, he still has to find his own way. He certainly doesn't want his nephew to be used up and thrown away like Garnett and Pierce.

So, what he meant was that he should spend four years with the Celtics first.

We’ll talk about what happens four years later.

First, get the Celtics' top spot in these four years.

It is better to play a supporting role for the magical Monty than to play a supporting role for Paul and Davis James.

“Kawhi, are you listening to me?”

Leonard nodded.

However, Leonard's performance at this time made Uncle Ka very confused.

He always felt that Leonard's recent performance was somewhat unfamiliar to him.

They agreed to leave the Raptors.

But his actions humiliated the Raptors, which was not what Leonard meant.

Just like humiliating Popovich and humiliating the Spurs, it was not actually Leonard's intention.

Kawhi hopes to part ways peacefully with the Spurs.

Kawhi hopes to part ways peacefully with the Raptors.

Both teams were indebted to him. One team trained him, and the other supported him to be the leader without hesitation. In order to develop his ability to control the ball, pass the ball and break double-teams, they gave him all the ball and didn't even want a point guard.

Now, both teams have turned against him.

Kawhi is in a bad mood at the moment, and Kawhi can understand that.

However, if he had a second chance, he would still choose to do so.

"Kawhi, you don't know how sinister people are in this world. If we were on Coach D's team, I believe we could break up peacefully. However, there is only one Coach D. Other teams will never break up peacefully. If we are not bad enough, then we will be the ones who suffer in the end. Do you understand?"

Leonard paused.

Uncle Ka continued.

"Kawhi, you've watched the Christmas game, you've seen how bad Chris Paul is, and he's your biggest rival in the Celtics in the future!"

"LeBron James is a dead dog, Anthony Davis is a weak character, and your only competition is Chris Paul!"

This time, Leonard finally nodded.

"Uncle, I understand. Thank you."

Leonard also had a smile on his face.

Seeing that Renner had returned to normal, Uncle Ka was relieved.

That's right. In this world, I am the only one who won't harm Kawhi. No one else can be trusted.

Leonard came to the Celtics and was welcomed by everyone.

The atmosphere was lively.

Leonard also had an awkward smile on his face, which was rare.

After a day of practice and a game, the Celtics defeated the New York Knicks that day.

After the game, Paul, the best player, went to the front for an interview.

Leonard, who was about to leave, met James who was waiting for him in the corner.

Leonard was surprised to see James.

"Kawhi, I can pass the ball to you, too, and better than Paul!"

"You want your boss, I just want my ball back!"

"Let's work together. This team doesn't need Chris Paul!"

"Right, Anthony."

Leonard's eyes widened, and then he saw a big man walking out from the corner.

Anthony, Davis!
