This morning, Bartlet has been talking about basketball with Tiger, and at noon he left Tiger and Andy to have lunch together, a table full of Chinese food, Bartlet knew that Tiger liked Chinese food, specially arranged, at the dinner table, Bartlet asked Tiger the names of these dishes from time to time, like a child praising the taste of each dish, Bartlet enjoyed the time with Tiger, for which he fell in love with basketball and became a fan of Tiger, so that he could find the topic of chatting with Tiger, what happened in this meeting, It made Tiger's heart a little sour, and he could feel that Bartlet cared a lot about his thoughts, and even deliberately flattered him.

After eating lunch for half an hour, it was finally over, Bartlet wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, sighed and said, "Time always flies so fast, you still have a game in the evening!" I'm having a very happy day, thank you Tiger, thank you for being able to come to me when you are in trouble, after receiving your call, I will arrange someone to deal with it, you don't have to worry about those sponsors, I have solved it, the media have also said hello, as for the NBA punishment, it cannot be omitted, you can also take this opportunity to trade your friends to the Clippers, young people always make mistakes, punishment is a catalyst for growth. I arranged a car to take you back and hope to be able to chat with you next time. At the end of his speech, Bartlet reached out his right hand to touch Tiger's head, but after a pause in mid-air, he patted Tiger on the shoulder and got up to leave.
"Maybe I shouldn't say it, but Tiger, I think he loves you, very much!" Andy, who had been quiet for a long time, looked at Bartlet's figure in the distance and said to Tiger.
"I didn't know, he was completely different from what I imagined. Since he loves me, why hasn't he appeared in front of me for so many years? "Tiger's heart is also in turmoil now.
"Maybe I know why."
"Why?"
"His name is Bartlet, Boiling Loywitz! This is a very typical Jewish name, and it is supposed to be an upper-class Jew, and it is impossible for someone like them to marry a black woman. Bartlet didn't explain the reason to Tiger, but he told Tiger the reason as soon as possible, and a simple self-introduction explained too much helplessness.
"Why is he with Jessica if it's impossible?" Andy didn't answer Tiger's question, and Tiger had the answer in his heart, but the knot in his heart for years made him unwilling to forgive Bartlet.
On the night of December 21, the Clippers lost to the Kings at home, and Tiger played his worst game, and the day was too big for him, seeing his father he had never met, Jason's depravity, Andy's self-blame, everything seemed to have changed from this morning. The Clippers players also read today's newspaper and understood Tiger's feelings, Coach Bill Fitch replaced Tiger with Ginobili early, and Tiger sat on the sidelines for a night.
On the evening of December 22, the Clippers won a hard-fought 3-point victory over the Mavericks at home, ending all the games before Christmas. After the game, Coach Bilfitch announced that the team was on holiday.
On December 23, the Clippers' station was officially operational, but it did not make a single wave in the United States, and no press conference was held. On the same day, in New York, the NBA league headquarters held a press conference, and before Christmas, the league announced the results of the punishment against Jason Green, who was suspended for 14 months until March 2001. Subsequently, the Nuggets announced a deal with the Clippers, trading Jason Green for the Clippers' two first-round picks next year, one of which was the Rockets' first-round pick that the Clippers received from the Rockets trade this summer. At this point, Jason Green's affairs have all been dealt with.
On the evening of the 23rd, David Stern, president of the alliance, when attending a party, met one of the three largest arms dealers in the United States, the current head of the Witz family - Bartley Boiling Lowwitz! Bartlet only said one thing to David Stern: I am seeing you today to tell you one thing, Tiger HSD is my son! Bartlet left, but left with a young man, and that person was Andy Smith, the manager of the Clippers.
Does David Stern really hate Tiger? When Tiger graduated from high school, he wanted to arrange for Tiger to join the NBA, just like Kobe Bryant at the beginning, but Tiger refused. Not only refused, Tiger also joined Wake Forest University, and the Wake Forest whirlwind blew across the United States, the NBA at that time was the heyday of the Bull Dynasty, and it was possible to reach an unprecedented grand occasion in the United States, but Wake Forest appeared at this time, and the Wake Forest Three Musketeers led Wake Forest University to sweep the major universities in the United States with an undefeated record, becoming the darling of the United States, and completely competing with the Bull Dynasty.
In the American basketball world, the NBA and the NCAA have always been competitive, the influence of the NCAA is even stronger than the NBA in some aspects, and the number of fans is more than that of the NBA, and the entire state of North Carolina is the NCAA's domination area, and the Charlotte Hornets are completely unable to survive there, and the emergence of Wake Forest University has spread the NCAA's radiation area throughout the United States. How was David Stern willing?
In '98, Tiger HSD and Jason Green finally participated in the NBA draft, and after thinking about it, he signed the champion to the Clippers, a team destined to live in the shadow of the Lakers, the Lakers' re-emergence has been formed, and the Clippers will be even more dilapidated. Sterling of the Clippers was a complete idiot who messed up his plan, and then an investor named Michael Stevens bought the Clippers, and now that I think about it, Sterling, that idiot, would change his mind and sell the Clippers, which should also be voluntary!
After the Jason Green scandal appeared, he originally planned to be banned for 2 years, but later several major agents in the league, like he proposed a 14-month deadline, he didn't care, in his mind Jason Green has been abolished. It's just that after the punishment result was announced, the contract between Jason Green and the agent was terminated calmly, without claims and suppression. And the major media in the United States also collectively reported on the upcoming Christmas war, all forgetting the Jason Green scandal.
Today, this Mr. Bartlet, who has come to see him, is to warn him. The manager of the Clippers is very young, only in his 20s, not from the NBA, and has no connections in the league at all, which has always been the weakness of the Clippers, but after today, David Stern had to personally help and support the manager of the Clippers team to grow up in the league, because he also did not dare to resist.
