One hundred and seventy-seven The end of the legend of the generation

"Hello, Ek, long time no see" Su Zhen greeted the winery manager Ek with a smile, although Su Zhen has not been here much since he bought the winery, but he will meet with Ek twice a year, listen to Ek's report, but it is not to say that he ignores the winery.

"BOSS, you came just in time, just in time for our new wine to leave the factory" Eke said with a smile, the winery's grapes and wine production and quality have been getting better and better in the past two years, and then sighed again, and said regretfully, "But it's a pity that the weather was relatively warm last year, and there was no freezing, so I couldn't produce ice wine."

Su Zhen nodded, this is also a helpless thing, the production of ice wine is too strict for the conditions of natural weather, but he doesn't care too much about these, although there was no ice wine produced last year, but because the winery was bought by Su Zhen and not sold to the outside world, the winery's cellar is very sufficient, Su Zhen is not short of wine at all, and Su Zhen himself is not a person who loves to drink, so most of the wine is mainly used for the welfare of employees, except for some rewards, Every employee under Su Zhen will receive two bottles of good wine from the winery as a gift on their birthday, especially for cowboys with a lot of wine culture and tradition, there is no better gift than fine wine.

Su Zhen, accompanied by Ek, took a look at the new wine produced, during which he put forward a suggestion that he had always wanted to make: "BOSS, in recent years, the grape production of the winery has become higher and higher, and the quality is surprising, and the wine produced can also be said to be the best, I think it is completely possible to participate in the wine competition, I think our wine is not worse than the wine of the winery of the Piery Island winery in any way, and even better" Ekton paused and continued, "And now the winery's wine production is increasing year by year, I think we can sell some wine to maintain the winery's revenue" In his opinion, such a good winery still has to rely on Su Zhen's annual blood transfusion to maintain it, which is a huge waste. Even if the winery produces only a third of the wine, it can make the winery break even.

"As for the wine competition, you are the manager of the winery, you can decide for yourself, as for the sale of red wine, our winery is not too big, if it is sold, it will not affect the internal supply?" Su Zhen asked.

"Of course not, in fact we consume less than a quarter of our annual internal consumption, and the winery produces high-end wines, even if they only sell a third of what we produce. It will be profitable, and it will definitely not affect its own supply," Eck assured.

"That's good, as long as it doesn't affect the supply, you can just look at it yourself when you go back" Su Zhen nodded and said, although Su Zhen really can't look down on the income brought by the winery now, but if the winery can be self-sufficient, it is also a good thing.

After inspecting the winery, Su Zhen had a simple dinner and rested.

When Su Zhen showed up at the Toronto Raptors' home stadium the next day, the Air Canada Center, both the players. Coach Lenny Wilkens was very surprised, because Su Zhen's arrival did not inform anyone in the team, so he came directly.

Lenny, in particular, was prepared to give up the game. Because the current Raptors are in hot form, they have won seven consecutive games, and Lenny is not willing to fight with this team, anyway, he has already got a ticket to the playoffs. Staying in the playoffs is the way to go, and there's no need to continue to waste too much energy on the regular season.

But now Su Zhen's arrival has given him a problem, after all, this is the first time Su Zhen has watched the ball game. It's okay if you win, but if it's a big defeat, it will inevitably leave a bad impression on Su Zhen, the big boss, right? I have to say that I'm getting older, and I'm thinking about a lot of things unconsciously, if only Lenny in the early years wouldn't have cared about the boss's thoughts.

In the end, Lenny decided to do his best, anyway, there is still a lot of time before the playoffs, enough for the team to recover their strength, and it is nothing to fight for the last game.

And when the players saw Su Zhen present, they were naturally very hard-working, ready to make a good impression on the boss.

With the main force of the Clippers exhausted, the normal game became very hot, you come and go, and Su Zhen and the fans on the scene are very addicted.

However, just as the game entered the end of the second quarter, tragedy happened, in a Raptors offense, the Raptors' Vince Carter and Big Dream collided hard, both were injured, and the fans at the scene all let out an exclamation.

The game was suspended, and both Carter and Big Dream were helped to the sidelines by their teammates for the team doctor to check.

Soon both teams were replaced, and it was obvious that Carter and Da Meng's state was no longer able to continue the game, and they were both carried off the court by their respective team doctors.

Seeing this, Su Zhen also rushed to the locker room to learn about the situation of Da Meng, and when Su Zhen arrived at the team's locker room, he saw the team doctor who had just gone out.

"How's Big Dream going?" Su Zhen grabbed the team doctor and asked.

"The situation is not very good, the patella bone is cracked, surgery is required, it is difficult to say the specifics, and it will be known after a detailed examination after going back, but it is conservatively estimated that it will not be able to play for at least half a year." When the team doctor saw that it was the boss, he returned to the preliminary diagnosis and told the truth.

This is not good news for the Clippers, the Clippers did not have enough bench depth, and now the lack of such an important big man is obviously a huge blow to the Clippers today.

After the team doctor left, Su Zhen opened the door of the locker room and saw Da Meng sitting in a daze, his knee had been treated and bandaged, but his face was in pain from time to time, obviously the injury was not light this time.

Da Meng saw that it was Su Zhen who came in and wanted to stand up. Su Zhen motioned for him not to move, after all, he had a knee injury.

"BOSS, I'm sorry to disappoint you," Da Meng smiled and said to Su Zhen.

Su Zhen shook his head, "It's me who should say I'm sorry, if I hadn't snatched you from the Raptors, maybe you wouldn't have been injured." For a moment, there was silence in the locker room again.

"BOSS, I think I'll retire at the end of this season," said Da Meng after a long time.

Su Zhen felt quite uncomfortable when he heard this, because in his memory, Da Meng was in a slump precisely because he was transferred to the Raptors, and he would announce his retirement in November this year after only one season with the Raptors.

Su Zhen thought that bringing Da Meng to the Clippers might change Da Meng's fate, but fate did change, and throughout the season, Da Meng's performance was still that big dream, but Su Zhen guessed the beginning, but he couldn't guess the end, the original history was because of poor performance, and he automatically retired, but now it is because of injury.

Su Zhen nodded when he heard this, the patella bone was cracked, maybe for some young players, it was not too serious an injury, but for Da Meng, who was almost forty, it was fatal, and it was a matter of course for Da Meng to retire, although Da Meng still had a two-year contract, but Su Zhen did not intend to be reluctant.

"Have you ever thought about what you will do after you retire?" Su Zhen asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'm going to rest for a while and spend time with my family," Dameng grinned, his snow-white teeth shining brightly.

"Are you interested in taking a student?" Su Zhen thought for a while and asked.

"Students?" Big dreams are a little unclear.

"You used to be the No. 1 center in the league, are you interested in teaching another No. 1 center?" Su Zhen said with a smile, Yao Ming was recognized by the NBA in his previous life, but he has never been able to get the title of the NBA's No. 1 center.

"BOSS, you mean to make me a coach? Who to teach? It shouldn't be Michael Olowokandi, right? Da Meng frowned and asked, if you want him to teach the first parallel import in history, it is really a bit difficult for a strong man.

"No, no, no, of course not" this 98-year-old champion, Michael can be said to be the real first parallel champion in NBA history, Su Zhen's brain show will make Da Meng focus on this bench goods, you must know that this product is now sold by no one wants it, but his contract expires this year, and he will be let go directly when the time comes. "The student I found for you hasn't entered the league yet, but you will meet him at this year's draft, he is a good seedling, I believe you will be satisfied." 、

"Since you said so, BOSS, it would be too shameful for me not to agree, but I can say it first, if I am not satisfied, I will return it" Da Meng said jokingly.

Seeing that Da Meng agreed to stay in the team as a coach, Su Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, isn't this the reason why Su Zhen grabbed Da Meng in the first place. It's just a pity that a generation of legendary center forwards finally ended his career this season.

Although Da Meng kept smiling and funny during the conversation with Su Zhen, Su Zhen could still feel the heroic melancholy of Da Meng. (To be continued......)
