I didn't stay overnight in New York that night, even though I was with my seductive wife, Ivanka. Trump hasn't made out for a long time, despite the fact that Ivanka. Trump was already full of resentment when I left, but I had to leave because my boss. Mr. Pauline called me and told me to rush back to Washington immediately.

I came to the club early the next morning. Mr. Pauline would not be in the club anymore, but he did not expect him to arrive, and he had his secretary waiting for me at the door of the club.

In A. Under the guidance of Secretary Pauline, I entered the A. Mr. Pauline's office.

Pander to. Pauline was looking down at Wen Jiàn, and when he saw me coming in, he threw Wen Jiàn to me and said, "Look at this first!" ”

I took Wen Jiàn in my hand and saw that it was the schedule of the Wizards this season just released by the NBA, but what is there to see in the schedule for the new season? I looked up at Ah with a question mark in my head. Pauline, I hope he'll give him some pointers.

"Look at the matchup inside!" Pander to. Pauline said with a blank face.

I looked down and opened the title page, and at a glance, my heart was completely cold!

In the first round, the Wizards traveled to the Lakers on January 29

In the second round, the Wizards traveled to the Mavericks on January 31

In the third round, the Wizards traveled to the Spurs on November 1

In the fourth round, on November 3, the Wizards traveled to the Timberwolves

In the fifth round, the Wizards travel to the Kings on November 4......

The Wizards actually had five consecutive road trips at the beginning of the season, and all of these five away teams were Western Conference powerhouses, all of them were strong contenders for the championship this season, and there were two back-to-back games in these five games, and the schedule was arranged like this, I'm sure this was definitely done by some people with ulterior motives, and they completely wanted to see the Wizards' jokes. With their elaborate design, the Wizards, who have gone through a series of upheavals this summer, are likely to have their heads shaved in the first five games. And if the Wizards fail to play well in these five games, the morale of the Wizards this season is likely to plummet, and the Wizards will not want to win the championship this year.

"How...... What's going on? "I've guessed why, but I still hope to get a good idea. Pauline got a contrary answer there.

Pander to. Pollin lay on his back in the boss's chair, crossed his hands on his chest, looked ahead with unfocused eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "By now you should already know that in the past half a month, none of the top media in the United States has reported on our Wizards' preparations for the new season!" ”

I nodded lightly and said, "Ivanka has already sued me!" ”

"Do you know why?" Pander to. Pauline tilted his head to look at me.

I shook my head slightly. I don't know. Pauline doesn't know the answer, but at this point I'd better pretend I don't know why.

"The hundreds of influential media outlets you blocked put pressure on the journalists' union. If a journalist dares to interview the Wizards and interview you, his press card will not be reviewed in the next review of his press card. ”

"At the same time, David. Stern was so angry that your father-in-law, Mr. Trump's Trump Sports and Culture Communications, had signed all 29 NBA teams for the next 10 years of preseason operations and dug into the NBA's corners, and he announced a ban on our Wizards at an internal meeting of the league, and no sports program would be allowed to broadcast the Wizards without the approval of the NBA League Headquarters. Even the new season trailer that we sent to the league's headquarters this season. They also edited only 4 seconds left, while the other teams' promos were all over 1 minute. ”

"We've been completely shut down, and it's impossible to see a single piece of news about our wizards in all the media, even if we're going to have a press conference right now. No one will come and interview us either. ”

Pander to. Pauline looked helpless, lying on his back in the boss's chair and sighing.

"I'm sorry!" I bowed my head and sincerely apologized, knowing that this qiē was all because of me. I am inescapable of taking responsibility for such an outcome. But I don't think that's the end result: "But as soon as we win the championship, all the problems will be solved." ”

Pander to. Pollin shook his head and smiled extremely miserably, "Is it possible? If all the teams meet us like they're going to fight like they're going to fight we. All the teams will be taken care of by the referees when they face us, do you think we still have a chance? To be able to enter the playoffs, we can all be called burning incense! We're done! ”

Pander to. Pauline completely lost confidence, he completely lost confidence in the future of the team, he just sighed incessantly, his eyes glazed over, and began to talk about his past.

"When I was a kid, I wasn't very athletic, and when I played basketball with my classmates, I was always the one on the bench, and I barely had any playing time after a game, but despite that, I continued to love basketball more and more, and I looked forward to one day becoming the best basketball player in the world."

"But fate is so cruel, I have no athletic talent at all, although I train hard, but my level of improvement is really limited, in my four years of college career, I submitted my application to the varsity team for four consecutive years, but every year to me the answer is' I still vividly remember my fourth rejection in my senior year, and I vividly remember Mr. Toms, the assistant coach on the varsity team, telling me that I didn't have the slightest talent in basketball and that I would never have the opportunity to become a professional basketball player. ”

"My sky is falling! At that moment, I felt that I had completely lost the meaning of life, and at that moment I even thought of lighting the basketball equipment room in the school and letting myself go to heaven with the basketball in the school. ”

"Then my life became a mess, if I was a walking dead without a soul all day long, my father showed my abnormality, knew the reason for my abnormality, he told me: the world of basketball is not only a basketball player, but also a number of positions such as scout, coach, manager, boss, etc., since I can't be a good basketball player, but I can also be a good scout, a good coach, a good club manager, an excellent rebounder. My father told me that the owner of a team is the most stylish person in a team. He built yì I made it my goal to be a team owner. ”

"So, my life ideals changed, and from that moment on, I worked hard to become the owner of a great professional basketball team, I studied hard, worked hard, and worked hard to make money."

"Finally, when I was 41 years old, I saved enough money to buy the team that was still in Baltimore at the time, and it was still called the Baltimore Bullets. Being the sole owner of this team, I vividly remember the excitement in my heart the moment I signed the acquisition contract, and I vividly remember the oath that I stood alone under the night sky that night, shouting to the moon that I must create a dynasty. ”

"I'm gradually closing all the other businesses, I'm putting all my energy into this team, I hope I can lead this team to the top of the world, I almost succeeded, I chose Monroe. Earl, we're chosen. Unseld, the trade came to Erwin. Hayes. We reached the finals three times in a row, and although we didn't win the championship in the first two times, we finally got to the top of the world in 19771978 season. ”

"I still vividly remember how crazy it was the night we won the championship, and I still remember the crazy scene when we were partying all night. I vividly remember the next day when we celebrated wildly around the city with the O'Brien Cup held high, and countless people poured into the streets to spray streamers on my float. ”

"I'm intoxicated! I reveled in the joy of success, and I had an addictive feeling for that joy that I wish I had tasted once a year. ”

"But the reality is cruel, as brutal as the fierce competition in the NBA. In the 7879 season. After the Wizards lost to Yin in the Finals, the team quickly degenerated, and even fell to the point of not making the playoffs for many years in a row. ”

"With the gradual degeneration of the team. There is also my age, my age is a year older, and my original heroic self has gradually become white and old. ”

"I hate getting old, but I have to admit that I'm really old, I don't have much energy to manage this team anymore, and I'm so old that I have to go to a nursing home for half a year to recuperate to make myself feel a little more energetic."

"But my childhood dream has not changed in the slightest, and I still hope that I can lead the team to the top of the world again, to lead the team to create an epoch-making dynasty, and at least to win another championship before I go to God."

"In order to be able to fulfill my dream in the last moments of my life, I invited Michael. Jordan, Jean Michael. Jordan picked you in the draft, and the trade came to Christian. Leitner, Chauncey. Billups, Larry. Hughes, I hope my last stand will allow me to go to God in peace and quiet. ”

"I thought my dream was about to come true. Jordan has picked your epoch-making center and built a strong team around you, and if you are given time to hone in the lineup, accumulate experience, and have no other accidents, I believe you will be able to create a dynasty that can rival the Celtics, Bulls, and Lakers, and I am even dreaming of having enough championship rings to bury me when I die. ”

"But after a summer, all the qiē has changed, Michael. Jordan is gone, Doug. Collins is also gone, and David, who has been giving me the same treatment. Stern was ready to give us little shoes at any of the games we played. ”

"And that's not all! The most important thing is that there is a problem with the operation of our team, many TV stations that have cooperated with us for many years are already preparing to terminate the broadcast contract with us, and many manufacturers who have been placing billboards in our home stadium have now announced that they will not renew their contracts with us! The part of our team that we run is now completely in disarray......"

Tears from A. The corners of Pauline's eyes flowed, and he could see that the old man in front of him was very sad about the current situation of the team.

"I love this team so much, I have dedicated my life to this team for forty years, and at the end of the day, I have to watch my team completely collapse, what am I doing wrong, God wants me to go through such cruel things in the last moments of my life......"

Pander to. Pauline cried out excitedly, feeling the unfairness of fate, that God had been unfair in dealing with him......

"Toot ......"

There was a knock on the door. Pander to. Mr. Pauline wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, calmed down his excitement, and then said calmly, "Please come in!" ”

Pander to. Pauline's secretary pushed the door open and walked in, without a trace of expression on his face, and whispered, "Mr. Bernard is here, and I will arrange for him to have coffee in the reception room for the time being." ”

Pander to. Bolin waved his hand and asked the secretary to go out first, then raised his head and sighed, and said with a resolute face: "8ooo million is 8ooo million!" Hopefully he can lead the Wizards out of the quagmire! ”

What do you mean?

I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, and I hurriedly asked, "Ahhhhh What do you mean, Mr. Pauline? Do you want to sell the Wizards? ”

Pander to. Mr. Pauline looked at me, nodded helplessly, and then said softly: "Although 8ooo is a little less, it is better than watching the team slide into the bottomless abyss." ”

Yes?

I was amazed, not only at how low the team's price tag was, but also at the fact that he had been protecting his stake in the team like an old hen protecting a chick. Pauline would sell stocks, knowing that in the previous life. Pauline did not sell a single stake in the club until his death.

Pander to. Pollin stood up, straightened his tie, picked up a file bag on the desk, walked out from behind the desk, sighed deeply and said, "Maybe I won't come again tomorrow, Kwamei, take care of yourself!" ”

The voice is full of too much helplessness, full of too much nostalgia! This made my heart twitch for a while, and I couldn't bear to see the 78-year-old Ah. In the last days of his life, Pauline would end his dream in such a way that I couldn't help but say, "Mr. Paulin! If you sell the shares, 8ooo million, I will buy 8o% of your shares! ”

ps: My friend's father passed away in the past two days, and I've been helping over there, and tomorrow the funeral will be resumed, and the update will be restored immediately.
