Chapter 39: Hidden in the Snow
Jessica sat at the dining table alone, thinking about things in a mess, until the doorbell rang to wake her up, opened the door, Stevens stood there in the dust, when Jessica saw Stevens, tears rolled down her face, Stevens put his arm around Jessica's shoulders, took her to the living room, and didn't speak, just gently patted Jessica's shoulder, let her cry to her heart's content, Jessica at this time, didn't need any words to comfort, All she needed was to warm her arms.

"Mike, I'm okay, what time is your plane, arrived so early?" I don't know how long it took for Jessica to finally calm down.
"The first class, I have seen it in the newspaper on the plane, what are you going to do now?"
"I've asked Andy to submit a trade request to the Clippers, Tiger is too tired here, it would be nice to let him change the environment, as for Sterling? You arrange for someone to investigate all the information about him first, and then there will be time to play with him, by the way, I remember when a certain country collapsed, we bought a lot of people back in Russia, and now what happened to those people? ”
"Part of it is arranged in security, and part of it is in our intelligence system, I have observed, although it is a bit overkill, but it is very good."
"Then you arrange a suitable one to follow Tiger, you must be able to drive, Tiger still can't drive! Let him accompany Tiger in the name of the driver, and if anything happens, let him do it directly, and I will bear the consequences, I just listened to Tiger's nonsense, pretending to be low-key, making people think that it was easy to bully. ”
"Well, don't worry! I'll look at the arrangement, I see that your spirit is not very good, you definitely didn't sleep last night, you go to sleep for a while, and when you get up, everything will pass, with me! Jessica cried for a while, the last of her strength was gone, it would be really sleepy, settle Jessica, Stevens picked up the phone and arranged, especially the person for Tiger, he had already arranged, and he would be able to arrive in Los Angeles in the afternoon.
At the same time as Stevens arrived, Andy also returned to Los Angeles, he didn't go directly to the Clippers, but went back to his home, he was waiting, before Jessica called him last night, he made a few calls, arranged something, he was waiting for news, his style of doing things, always to kill with one blow.
Tiger was the first to come to the training gym, he was doing basic training alone, after his teammates came, he was farther away from him than before, he could clearly see their mocking looks, they had another game in the evening, the home game against the Timberwolves, in the afternoon Coach Ford announced the starting list, there was no Tiger's name, he didn't explain anything, the players all looked at Tiger sarcastically and left, Tiger didn't ask, and then started shooting training alone.
Chris. When Ford got home last night, he was notified that the team had decided to hide Tiger, and there was nothing he could do about it, and the Clippers were rotten from top to bottom. Washington probably shouldn't have been here, he's an outlier here, and his presence has broken so many things, and there's nothing wrong with Tiger. Washington is a good player, a good player who can be a benchmark for all young people, but in the Clippers he can only be ejected, ostracized, and suppressed because this is a garbage dump.
In the evening's game, Tiger sat on the bench and watched a rout. Seeing the team being beaten without a fight, Tiger thought he would be happy, look! You wouldn't be able to do it without me! But in fact, not only was he not happy, but he thought for the first time in his heart that this year's playoffs seemed to be really hopeless, and then reacted and laughed at himself, who cares? No one in the team cared, he thought too much.
At the end of the game, Garnett came to the Clippers' bench under the unkind gaze of the Clippers players, hugged Tiger and said, "Man, come on!" God will always play all kinds of jokes on us, everything will pass, if you need any help, just call me, except for the toothbrush and the wife, everything else is easy to say. The wolf king also played humor in the end, and those who know Garnett know that because of his growth, he is actually a person who picks the door, and being able to do this to Tiger shows that Tiger is a friend he cares about very much in his heart. Tiger can fully feel Garnett's intentions, but now he can't laugh, but it's a pity for the wolf king's humor.
At the post-game press conference, reporters asked Ford why he put Tiger on the bench and didn't give him even a minute of playing time, Ford said without changing his face: "Tiger. Washington was injured, and the team doctor presented an injury report, and the team made the decision because of his physical condition. ”
Reporters continued to ask about the injury situation and the time of the comeback, and Ford said that it would be arranged according to the advice of the team doctor. Then he hastily ended the visit, returned to the dressing room, announced the disbandment, and canceled the team's training for the next day, leaving the players on vacation. He didn't look at Tiger the whole time, not knowing whether he felt ashamed or disdainful like a player.
Tiger took a taxi back home, opened the door and saw that the living room was brightly lit, Jessica and Stevens were waiting for him, Tiger said hello to Jessica and Stevens and sat down opposite them, Jessica pointed to a big white man sitting in the corner of the living room and said: "He is Wolf, I think it is always inconvenient for you to take a taxi, so I arranged a car for you, and let him follow you in the future." ”
Wolf gives people a very low sense of existence, sitting in the corner, Tiger didn't notice that there was anyone there at first, looking at the direction of Jessica's finger, Tiger saw him clearly, Wolf gave people the feeling of being very ordinary, ordinary like a passerby, there is no characteristic, if you want to find a characteristic, that is, it has a standard Eastern European face.
Wolf! His name was Wolf. Although Jessica gave very little information, but the Eastern European face, the name is wolf, these are added together, Tiger understands what this means, but Tiger didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement, he knew that this was Jessica's concern for him, something happened to him recently, which has always made him very depressed, and he can't do it to make Jessica feel at ease now, so just listen to her arrangement!
The next day, the media were reporting a game that was not paid attention to, the Clippers vs. Timberwolves, which could not be compared with the Lakers' focus game against the Rockets, but Tiger was in the first game with team owner Sterling, the first game after the outbreak of the conflict, the whole court sat on the cold bench and did not play for a minute, which gave people too many associations, and the Clippers' Darrick. Martin, in an interview, said: "He's just a rookie who joined the NBA in his first year, and it's normal that he can't play. And the reasons for the injuries that Ford said were also written, the locker room contradictions, the team's attitude, all showed that Tiger. Washington's days with the Clippers have entered the countdown.
