"Doug, make a decision, we don't have much to do." Seeing that Reeves didn't speak, Cassel continued to persuade him.

Reevston paused for a moment and said, "Sam, I've heard your suggestion, and I'll consider it." ”

Cassel's heart was cold, Reeves's words were clearly perfunctory, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is it Austin's reason?" ”

Reeves stood up abruptly and coldly rebuked, "Sam, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”

"Doug, paper can't contain fire, Don and Austin bullfight, now everyone in the team knows, even if you have been reluctant to say the reason why Don is not allowed to play, everyone has basically guessed it, are you still unwilling to listen to me now?" Cassel said bitterly.

"Who said that? It's all rumors! Reeves said breathlessly.

"Doug! I know the emotions of being a father, but it's your job to coach this team, and you have to draw a line between work and emotion. Kassel continued.

Reeves' breathing became more and more rapid, and his chest rose and fell, and he was very angry.

"You shouldn't trade Austin to your team, you're causing yourself trouble, if you recall ...... now"

"Bang!"

"Get out! You get me out! ”

Reeves didn't wait for Cassel to continue, he slammed the table and yelled loudly.

Cassel was stunned, sighed, and then turned to leave the office, slamming the door as he went out, Reeves' stubbornness had made him completely desperate.

Reeves shuddered, and then slumped into the soft chair. Kassel was single-handedly recruited by him into the team, so to speak, his right-hand man. But now that Kassel is torn apart with him, he really feels like a betrayal.

November 20 and 21, U.S. time. After four days of rest, the Clippers played two back-to-back games at home against the Toronto Raptors and Portland Trail Blazers.

The team's assistant coach, Sam. Cassel missed both games for personal reasons, and the centerpiece of the team, starting All-Star power forward Griffin, also missed the game due to back discomfort and was not even on the field.

Paul, the main core of the Clippers and the league's No. 1 point guard, was in a slump, taking less than 10 shots in both games. Averaging only 10 points and 6 assists per game, the Clippers have scored less than 80 points in both games, and the slump is terrifying, and the team has suffered a six-game losing streak without any suspense.

Because it was a home game, the team's owner Ballmer also appeared on the sidelines, and he had a gloomy face in the first game, and left the court early at half-time in the second game.

The owner's office of the team.

Ballmer sat in the soft chair with a gloomy face, and the team's general manager, Dave Brown. Wall stood across from him, not daring to take a breath.

There was silence for a long time. Ballmer lit a cigar, took a puff, and finally said, "Dave." ”

"I'm here, boss." Wal said worriedly.

"You know, I bought the Clippers for a lot of money. And whenever I have time, I come to the stadium to watch the game. Ballmer said as he took another puff on his cigar.

Wall nodded repeatedly, and cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead.

'Now that the team is the way it is, it's time to make some changes. You know what I mean, right? Ballmer shook off the ash of his cigarette and said without raising his head.

"Understood. Got it. Wall nodded repeatedly, he wasn't much of a manager. He doesn't have much experience in the NBA, and he can't afford to lose this job at hand.

"Tell me, then, how do you need to change?" Ballmer said, looking at Wall.

Wall heard Ballmer ask, and Reeves was not there at this time, so he didn't have any concerns, and said directly: "Boss, the team has won five in a row before, and now it has lost six in a row because the lineup is different." ”

"Different?" Ballmer looked at Wall suspiciously.

"We have a guy on the team named Tang Shuai, he is a rookie who the team traded this year, he was in the team when he won five in a row, but now, he is in the development league." Wall said directly.

"Don? Well, I have the impression that this guy is very good at shooting threes, I remember that this draft pick was originally offered by you to trade it back, why is he not on the team? Ballmer listened to Wall talk about Tang Shuai, and his curiosity was aroused.

Wall took a breath, he had sensed that his fight with Reeves had reached a critical moment, and he said directly: "Boss, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not, because it hasn't been confirmed with certainty. ”

"Say." Ballmer said as he took another drag on his cigar.

"It's because Don and Austin, that is, Doug's son on the team, when the two of them were in the preseason, because of the ball problem in the training gym, the final result of the bullfight was that Don won, which won him a very objective playing time, and the performance was very good, but Austin was slumped, and the last time he ......" Wall said and paused.

Ballmer glanced at Wall and held out his hand to signal him to continue.

"Last time, Austin went to a nightclub to get drunk because of his bad performance, but he got drunk, saying that it was because he robbed someone else. Dancer, there was a fight, and then Doug probably knew the reason for the incident, so he didn't give Don any more playing time, and now he is also sent to play in the Development League. Wall said with a blank slur.

"Are these things true?" Ballmer said with a skeptical look on his face that he still had some trust in Reeves.

"I've only heard, but I'm not the only one who knows about it, Doug's assistant coach, Sam. Casal, who had a fight with Doug a few days ago because of this incident, has not returned to the team now because of personal problems, in fact, Don has played 4 games with the Defenders, and has averaged more than 40 points per game, which is not at the same level as everyone else, I think this should be considered a little evidence. ”

"Ridiculous!" Ballmer slammed the table.

Wall immediately shut up.

"Call Doug when the game is over!" Ballmer was really angry, he originally bought a team just to be happy, and he didn't think about really interfering with the team, but now watching a game is the same as being guilty, and Wall said a bunch of ridiculous things, which made him really angry.

Wall nodded and said, "It's not over yet, do you want to call Sam first?" ”

"Call, call all, if it's really the same as you say, this Doug doesn't have to do it!" Ballmer said angrily.

Wall nodded and went out, he was in a good mood now, he thought that the fight with Reeves would last for a long time, but he didn't expect Reeves to do such a stupid trick himself, it was simply asking for his own death. (To be continued.) )
