Chapter 222
the next day...

Under the petition jointly signed by Berry and other scouting consultants, the CEO of the consortium, Angelina Jane, brought a group of elites from the consortium to rush to the team management with no shame. The others glanced at Adelman, who was arranging tactics for the Viper team members, and his face turned green. Only this woman was calm and no one knew what she was thinking...

When everyone filled the office of the Toyota Center with provocative gestures, and when the plump woman came up with a leadership attitude and spoke rudely...

"I reminded you that your mother sent the whole team down last time. This time, the whole team will be suspended? Are you crazy? Mr. Ron?"

Although under the watchful eyes of everyone, he came up to scold Ron head and face.

There's no way, the first rank of the official ranks crushes people to death... But this situation is much better than Ron imagined...

At least Alexander hasn't made any statement yet...

"Ms. Jane, I'm surprised that you actually know where my office is... (Insinuating that she goes to the Three Treasures Hall for everything)" When everyone stared at Ron as if looking for revenge, even Lisa was surprised that Ron was still flattered at this moment, sitting in his seat correcting official documents...

"Cancel that damned suspension, you idiot! My Nasdaq phone has never been interrupted!" said the Finance Minister of the Alexander Foundation.

"Perhaps the people who made the call are themselves idiots, because they are interested in investing in a team that has no fighting spirit. Didn't Alexander tell you? I have the final say here... I can make you go away with just one phone call. If you don't add honorifics to your words..." Ron casually corrected the official document, but his wording made many people who were about to refute him shut up...

"Your motives are good, Mr. Ron..." Only Angelina Jane Winner, a veteran in the workplace, smiled, and today Ron was really ready to compete with her: "But your method is simply too extreme, the whole team is banned? Just spreading the rumors has already caused a storm in the city...Mr. Ron, are you ready to take on everything?"

"The boss told me in person... I have the power to rule over everything here. My basketball philosophy is like this. I don't allow others to talk to me..." Ron put down the pen in his hand, and he didn't flinch from everyone's gaze...

"...Therefore, you can take basketball away from their lives, let the consortium spend tens of millions to support a group of idlers, and by the way, let the team not get the support of any fans. Is this why the ticket sales are bleak?"

"Yes ma'am..." Ron nodded.

"Then let them take their wages, reflect on their mistakes every night of the game, and even do some psychological counseling, just to find the correct attitude towards the game and the spirit of the team?"

"Yes, ma'am!" Ron confronted.

"But what if you fail? Do you really understand human nature? Or is the punishment of suspension really useful?" She patted the table with her hands, seeming a little unreasonable...

"Then we all failed! I will resign myself and even take all the faults, OK?"

Everyone looked at each other and whispered...

After a while, only an old man slowly walked over from behind everyone, yes, what should be faced is ultimately to face...

It was Carol Dawson who was willing to protect Ron at the cost of his own life...

"Actually, we are not young boys who intend to come here to smash your field..." Dawson still smiled kindly: "You and I both know what kind of storm the whole team suspension will cause in the society... People will seriously hurt you--'This guy is just trying to make himself famous and make headlines', and the players will be disappointed in you, 'We are finally on the edge of the playoffs, and in the end because of some internal discord and other reasons, we have to give up...'"

His eyes are full of kindness, only Ron knows that he is really thinking about the team, not for the little money...

"This season is full of beauty and magic...Why give up halfway and not let them continue to the end? Without Yao Ming, without any All-Stars...In the beginning, no one was optimistic about them, but they are like Texas Xiaoqiang, strong until now..." Dawson sighed: "This is probably the most brilliant day in their lives...The most memorable day...The most amazing day..."

Ron was also very entangled with a lot of feelings: "Isn't this the root of all problems? Isn't it?"

"I'm not afraid of being seriously injured... It doesn't matter to me personally, but I am the boss of the team, and I have an obligation to be responsible to my players... Give up halfway, at least the memory will not change color... At least the desire will gradually drift away from them... Is it true that they continue to play with their current virtues, and then lose in disgrace, asking themselves deeply every sleepless night—maybe it was just a beautiful dream? ?”

"...Because I'm so depraved, no one understands them better than me..." Ron gritted his teeth firmly: "Let my players become winners in life-this is my consciousness as a team manager! This is my basketball!"

Feeling from the bottom of my heart, at this moment, even those old guys seemed to be a little enlightened. They shook their heads and sighed. Maybe it was the true speeches of Ron and Dawson, which also deeply aroused everyone's love for basketball and the team...

"Well...since you've been sticking to your game...at least we persuaded you..."

Everyone left in a hurry, only Barry was left. He repeatedly remembered Ron's wonderful performance during the trade with the Thunder that day... and all of this could have been avoided because of that successful deal.

Ron watched the group of people leaving, and shook his head expressionlessly...

...

At the press conference against the Dallas Mavericks before the game, in front of all media reporters, Ron officially announced the news of the "team suspension" to the world, and said that the reason for this "all punishment" was the locker room brawl that happened in Chicago a few days ago...

"Yes, I did say that I slapped myself..." Ron smiled as he faced the series of harsh questions raised by all the reporters...

"However, it is clear that my players don't know how to face up to their mistakes... This punishment is also aimed at me... During this period, I have applied to the team for a suspension of salary..."

Crazy, paranoid, dictator...

Someone even pointed out mercilessly that because of the breakup, Ron mixed his personal pessimism into his work and came up with a brain-dead way...

The on-site press conference was a mess as Ron expected...

The voices against the abuse came one after another, and everyone said that Ron's "paranoia" would eventually kill the entire team...

In any case, the Houston Rockets, composed of members of the Vipers, appeared in the home game against the Dallas Mavericks that night, and Cuban even updated several posts on Facebook to praise Ron's decision "sarcastically and sarcastically"...

In front of the bench, there were 15 official Rockets players in suits and leather shoes sitting neatly in front of the bench. It was in their extremely depressed and regretful eyes that the Houston Rockets lost by a big score without any suspense, and ushered in their four-game losing streak...

 One more recommendation!
