Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 220 The End of Happiness...

"Harden? Trade an All-Star for a first-year rookie?"

"Yes, sir..." Barry said to the phone in a panic in the corner of the Toyota Center's scouting consultant's office.

"Oh, my God, you asked him to change it! He's so funny, are you going to be so funny...Mitch (referring to Kupchak) What do you think?"

"Mr. Jim (Bass Jr.)...I think at present, although Mayo is more valuable than Harden, it is true, but he has become a cancer in the Houston locker room...He has troubles outside the court. Having him in Houston will affect their team atmosphere..."

"Hiss... When you say that, it makes sense to me... How about it, what's the matter?"

"My name is Barry... Director of Scouting Consultants in Houston..."

"Oh...Old Mr. Berry, anyway, that's it. Whatever that bastard Ron wants to do, you can do it against him. This kind of thing can't be wrong... Well, anyway, if this guy finally steps down, the Lakers won't treat you badly...Keep working hard..."

...

1 hour before the trade deadline...

Jingle bell...the phone keeps ringing...

As expected, a last minute call from Alexander...

"Listen Ron, I veto this deal..."

"We need blockbuster All-Stars like Mayo..."

"That James Harden, I have received the evaluation report from the scouts, and it turns out that he is not as good as the legend..."

"I think the current structure and atmosphere of the team are good... It's better not to have any major surgery, everything is waiting for Yao Ming to come back..."

"Of course, my words are for reference only..."

Fuck you, you vetoed the deal, and just FYI...

Ron just wanted to laugh.

Olajuwon spread his hands in front of him humorously...

"I told you not to call me Barry, you don't stop, okay... perfect deal, stillborn..."

...

"Dengdeng..."

"Please come in..."

When he saw his former lover appearing in front of him obediently, Ron felt a lot of emotions...

"OJ, I'm heart to heart with you...I'm actually close to sending you to Oklahoma...You know? This is God's last chance for you..."

"I know...I'm sorry...I know it's useless to say this...But, I'm still grateful to you..." There seemed to be something in his eyes that hadn't dried up...

"Yes, if it weren't for you, I might have been lost in the colorful Sex and the City...just at that second-I...I have never hated myself like this moment!"

He was full of remorse, but he still touched the heart of the hard-hearted Ron a little...

"Please give me another chance!"

If I don't give you a chance, do you think you can stay here?Ron looked at him, feeling a deep feeling of hating iron for being weak...

"I am willing to renew the contract with a basic salary! 5 years, even 10 years! Yes!" He bit his lips and insisted like a child: "Please don't give up on me...I want to play! I have never loved basketball so much like this moment..."

Ron's nose suddenly became sour: "Stupid! What a basic salary! Even if you don't play under my hands in the future, I still want to see you with a maximum salary contract and a good performance on the court... You have no ambitions... You are too easy to be satisfied. You just made an All-Star once, and then you get carried away..."

He sighed, walked over, and gently helped his beloved general up.

"Remember our agreement under the sky of West Virginia?"

"Yeah!" He nodded heavily... "For the dream..."

"Come on! Go and do it well! I will leave you with a salary of about 1000 million, but the premise is that it depends on your actions..."

He looked up in surprise, and found that Ron had already turned his back with a lot of emotions...

"thanks…"

"Also regarding the position of a friend... Mayo... find a girl who really likes you, and have a vigorous relationship! Stop being like a gangster, pouring all the pressure through marijuana and nightclubs... It's not cool at all, and it's stupid..."

He looked up, smiling broadly, just like the one he saw at dusk in West Virginia...

...

For some reason, he suddenly turned his head and thought of himself...

It's been two days...

He also knew that the way he walked away at the beginning was indeed ill-considered...

He also knew that Scarlett had been closely monitoring his behavior before he found out that it was indeed something that separated them from each other...

But, there is no reason to like someone... Love is love, unless you suddenly stop loving...

Chinese style dinner.

"She is very subjective, and she doesn't care about you at all... She only learns the plots in the movies, and enjoys living in the movies every day... She doesn't know how to live a normal life... What's more, the living habits of Chinese and Americans are different..." Ye Li looked at Yao Ming who said something too much, and quietly pinched him.

"She just needs a pug and obeys her... Ron, you are a gentleman, you don't have to listen to her... What does a man look like if he doesn't have his own career and clings to a woman all day long..." Qing Itachi was originally Scarlet... "I told you a long time ago when I was in BJ, breaking up now is a kind of relief..."

The Yaos looked at Qing Itachi speechlessly, with embarrassing faces...

Ron also looked at him in surprise: "The whip penetrates!"

"You're welcome!"

He shook his head helplessly, and continued to be sullen...

"Women's hearts are made of water, why don't you try again?" Only Ye Li stood by Scarlett's side...

...

In front of an open-air coffee shop on Lincoln Street, when he saw Scarlett again, she looked a little haggard, but her clothes were bright and her behavior left a deep impression on him...

It turns out that what you can't get is really the best...

She was on the phone, but she looked very seriously: "Listen, I have to hang up...Remember, press conference, don't have too many reporters...Let's talk later..."

"Sorry..." she said.

"It's okay..." Ron was a little embarrassed seeing her put on such a strange attitude...

"I'm sorry, I'm late... I'm packing things recently... Oh, remember to get your things back when you're free... I have to go, catch up with the announcement..."

"Oh, it's okay... are you back?"

"Why not? Do you sit at home every day?"

Ron was momentarily at a loss for words...

"How are you these days?"

"Well...I'm fine, how about you?" She casually took a sip of mocha...

"Well...it's still the same...I'm so busy with the team's affairs..."

There was obvious displeasure between her brows, and her eyes kept wandering elsewhere...

"Thank you for taking time out..."

"Small things... I thought you were going to die on your job for the rest of your life!" she sneered, trying to keep her ladylike demeanor... "I hope you understand, we are not suitable for dinner in that kind of fancy place... I don't want to be caught by a group of reporters again..."

"...what else do you need to drink?"

"No...no, actually I'll leave after I finish speaking!" She said angrily, and finally met Ron's reluctant eyes for the first time in her eyes...

"You look in good spirits! So?"

"Huh? Actually, I'm here to apologize to you...I'm always busy with work and neglect you...I also spent a good night with other women, although I didn't do anything stupid, but I know it shouldn't be...I cheated on you..."

For a long while, Ron just lowered her head in silence, she shook her head in disappointment, her eyes were empty: "This is you... This is what you want to say to me? I don't know what I should do, or what to say... I just don't want to be put aside by you in the goddamn world, and watch games that I can't understand at all..."

She suddenly became excited again: "My mother is fed up, you know? I treat you so well, but you trample it like a fish's liver and lungs... I put so much effort into making your soup, but you would rather make a few more stops to buy those junk foods that are not nutritious..."

"If I forgive you, after we get back together, can you stop caring about your damn team and let them fend for themselves? You won't, it's your shitty dream, it's more important than mine..."

"No...I just want to apologize to you...that's all..." Ron turned his head stubbornly...

"You can't live life, Ron... you can't stay in a relationship... because you're too selfish and a liar..."

"I used to hide a lot, I'm sorry..."

"I just beg you to stay with me more. Is this too much to ask? Don't apologize, what I said is the truth... I love you very much, but you don't love me at all, you only love your dreams..."

The two stalemate, attracting many other people to watch, the young couple stopped talking, and everyone was happy to do their own things...

He sighed sincerely and broke the silence: "No, you don't love me...you've been living in your own fairy tale world...the fairy tales of clerks and big stars...but I'm not a clerk anymore...this is the real world...and what I love is you love me...but you only love yourself..."

After speaking, Scarlett was obviously a little stunned...

"Really? Continue..." Tears were already shining in her eyes...

"You didn't ask me to do one thing, you asked me to do...all kinds of things...I can't achieve them all...because I have my own ideas, my own pursuit, my own life..."

"Bullshit! If a man loves a woman, why can't he give up all of him? Go through fire and water, whatever you want?"

"But...don't you think this is a unilateral effort? I never told you to give up your own life...but you instinctively think that I should live in your world and revolve around you..."

"I don't think so!" Scarlett was completely angry: "So you like those sluts who have sex with you and then can pat their ass and walk away! Because they never ask you to pay, right?"

"Unreasonable...I can't communicate with you...Why do you trample people under your feet every time you get angry and wantonly trample on other people's dignity?"

She broke down completely, "Listen! My dear, I'm leaving, okay?" She deliberately teased, and then said solemnly: "Don't call me again! Go and live with your job forever! Then find a few girls who don't need you to pay!"

As she walked, she looked at the sunset in the distance...

Only a beautiful shadow remains...

...

In fact, you are very tired, aren't you?

Maybe giving you freedom is my last tenderness...

In the Ritz Grand Hotel, looking at the scene of the press conference that witnessed their love, tears of stubbornness kept pouring out of her sunglasses...

Maybe no one is right or wrong in love...

In the Toyota Center office, Ron rubbed his eyes, tapping his fingers on the table without rhythm...

da da... da da...
