Chapter 108: Determination (Tears Running for Recommendation!)
"Well, so we can rebuild next season!" Ma'Rouf thought for a moment and replied with a smile, the biggest headache for him now is the luxury tax next season, and now the team's salary is getting closer and closer to the luxury tax trigger line.
He had to find a way to bring down the team's salary, and there is a very cheap and useful player in this world, called Rookie! Rookie contracts, that is, the most powerful weapons for major teams to exploit these newcomers, of course, these newcomers are inexperienced, but it is more suitable to sign such a rookie than to sign those big-name stars, at least Ma'rouf thinks so.
"But if the team is going to rebuild, don't you need to inform Kenny? He's the head coach of the team after all! Thinking of this, the man in black had to whisper a reminder to Marouf, and now there is another senior member of the team who doesn't know about it.
"Kenny? Hehe, you won't be stupid enough to think that I will continue to keep him in this position! I've reached out to Paul Fast and this guy has agreed to come for an interview at the end of the season, and if he can, he can save us some money! Ma'aulf said with his chin propped up and grinning.
And when he said this, the Kenny-Knight mix outside the door couldn't help but be shocked...... Kenny Knight didn't know what Ma'a'Rouf said later, he just left the president's office in a daze, but he didn't go far when he ran into a man around the corner.
"What? Did you hear a secret that you shouldn't have heard? Zhang Kong leaned against the wall, looking at the somewhat lost head coach in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, it seems that Kenny Knight is quite at a loss now, Ma'auff's conversation just now, Zhang Kong also heard it, but he came here one step ahead to wait for Kenny Knight, change the coach? This Ma'ruf really dares to bet.
"Got time? Rest today and have a drink with me! Kenny Knight looked at Zhang Kong and shook his head, inviting Zhang Kong.
"Hehe, there's time! But I wonder why you managers always come to me every time something like this happens? "Last time, Reggie Cias was the same, after being rectified by Marouf, he also happened to run into Zhang Kong.
"Let's go!" Kenny Knight didn't answer, his mind was messed up right now, and he wanted to have some drinks and find a quiet place to calm down! The two of them drove Kenny Knight's car to a jazz bar near the ARCO arena!
A bar is a place to drink, not a dance hall or a discotheque, there is only alcohol and nothing else, and there is a piano in the middle of the bar, where people will play jazz and sing little songs.
The bars here are completely different from nightclubs, they are very noisy, and Zhang Kong doesn't like them, but it's quiet here.
"Is it just drinking? Don't want to say something? Looking at Kenny Knight in front of him drinking glass after glass, Zhang Kong smiled helplessly, it seems that this middle-aged man has been hit quite hard! Thinking about it, it would be sad for anyone to change it.
"I've always listened to him! He is what he says, and I do what he tells me to do. Am I doing something wrong? Can I be blamed for the team's bad record? Now you can say such things...... Looks like I'm going to get a job again next season! Kenny Knight's words seemed to be said to Zhang Kong, and it was also like to say to himself, he was wholeheartedly a lackey of Maluf, but it turned out to be like this, which made him completely unacceptable, and at the same time he was a little dazed.
"That's not right! Instead of looking for a job from next season, you should be looking for a new job now! Zhang Kong looked at Kenny Knight and smiled, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and took a small sip.
"Now? You're saying you're going to get me to resign? Hearing Zhang Kong's words, Kenny jumped up suddenly, what he was most afraid of now was to lose his job, and Zhang Kong even told him to find a job now, what kind of intentions did this guy have.
"Heh, do you like coaching?" Zhang Kong put down his glass and asked Kenny Knight.
"Of course, if I don't like it, why should I sharpen my head and drill into the coach's pile?"
"If that's the case, why don't you make a score? Take a look at the Kings' record right now...... Don't tell me that with your current record, you're going to get a job as a head coach again after being cut by the Kings next season! Listening to Zhang Kong's words, Kenny Knight was stunned instead, except for those strong teams, because Zhang Kong's addition occasionally wins, Kenny Knight's Kings are an out-and-out bad team in the league...... It's so rotten that it's almost synonymous with fish belly.
"Finding a job isn't just about talking, if you're going to get the same head coach job next season, you need to improve the current record of the Kings! I also know that a big part of the reason I lost in the first place was because Ma'rouf wouldn't let me play, and he was always at your fingertips. But they don't remember Ma'ruf, all they know is that you brought the Kings to ruin......" Zhang Kong drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and then stood up.
"You have to think about it yourself, it's not that there is no chance now, you have to think clearly! In the future, do you want to do it for yourself or continue to do it for that bastard Marouf! Zhang Kong's words were like a needle, piercing deep into Kenny Knight's heart.
He originally thought that he would keep his job as a loyal lackey who had always admitted his hard work and grudges, but now it seems that his thoughts are too naïve, and he has no dignity at all in front of the bastard who has fallen into the eyes of money.
"For myself or for that bastard Marouf? Hehe, it's for you, too! Kenny Knight understands that Zhang Kong is only telling him this to make himself play, and he doesn't know what is between Zhang Kong and Marouf.
But now Ma'rouf has betrayed himself, and that's what Kenny Knight knows! The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Now that Zhang Kong and Ma'' are at odds, and Ma' is doing this to himself, whether it's for himself or to make Ma' off his face, Kenny-Knight feels like he should do something, picks up the bottle in front of him, and he starts drinking it directly to his lips.
"Well, Marouf, since you have left me without a job, for the sake of my position, for the sake of revenge on you! Don't blame me! Kenny Knight stood up, picked up the bottle and slammed it to the ground, yelling at the same time.
Zhang Kong, who was standing outside the door at this time, couldn't help but shake his head and laughed, it seemed that he was still too tender to deceive these people, and in a blink of an eye, his purpose was seen through by Kenny Knight, but it didn't matter if he saw through it, the most important thing was that he had agreed with his statement now! As long as Kenny Knight lets himself play, the King's win rate may not go up!
The winning rate has gone up, and I have made money, which is the most important thing! Squinting his eyes and smiling for a while, Zhang Kong left the bar!
Now he is vaguely looking forward to the next game! After playing the Cavaliers, the Kings only have 17 games left this season, and for Zhang Kong, everything is still possible in these 17 games, and it is unlikely that he will enter the playoffs.
Now the Kings are 22-43, but there is no problem in improving the team's record!
On the premise of playing on his own, help Kenny Knight improve the team's performance, Zhang Kong also thinks so! This can be regarded as a kind of disguised cooperation, but it's a pity that only Ma'ruf is in the quilt, and he and his money are going to suffer!
happily left the bar, returned to the arena and rode his bike, Zhang Kong rode in the direction of Chinatown.
And in the corner where he didn't pay attention, there was a person squatting, and this person was none other than Leo Ferdinand!
Looking at the camera in his hand, he knew that this guy was squatting here, when Zhang Kong appeared just now, he stared at Zhang Kong, although Zhang Kong walked relatively fast and did not take a picture of his face, but now Leo Ferdinand can be sure that this guy is from this stadium...... As for what it does, he still doesn't know~
