Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 228 Reversal of fate!

Fate is always such a coincidence...

In the case of 3 votes behind, chasing 3 votes in a row...

The first 6 votes were magically divided into a 3:3 balance...

last vote...

It is also a vote that determines Ron's fate...

However, this belongs to the team management that did not buy much to support him, but in the end there was a dramatic 50% draw...

But the real thing is in the hands of that guy named Berry...

His vote was the last straw that broke the elephant...

Coincidentally, in the Toyota Center an hour ago, the person who originally ruled his fate was Ron...

But now it's completely upside down...

He glanced at Ron with great interest, and there was a malicious smile on that scheming face...

"Hey...Berry!"

"I said a long time ago that if Berry becomes the manager of our team, we will definitely revive our dynasty!"

Berry?On the beach in Miami, Pat Riley showed a wicked smile...

"Hey~~~ It's cheap for the old boy!"

He raised the champagne next to him and celebrated with a meaningful toast...

...

"Damn! I said earlier that letting this guy go would be the worst thing Ron did in his life!" Olajuwon was furious...

"Hey, so there is no miracle! I was so excited..."

...

"So Barry, your choice is..."

He didn't speak, but walked slowly towards the rostrum...

Dear Mr. Ron!
I have said it more than once, soft heart will be your biggest weakness in life...

In the big league where fish and dragons are mixed, your style is no match for the reality of intrigue...

Unexpectedly, there will be a time when you will really fall into my hands...

Then...

He triumphantly continued to walk towards the rostrum, as if he was about to vent loudly, his long-suppressed ambition...

Boom... (Ron's heartbeat...)
Hehe... Is my fate dictated by scouts again?
...

(memories~)

Ron in 1997.

Thin, tall and young, he has endless strength all over his body.

Dribble...accelerate...change direction...slam up...slam dunk...

"Powerful, elegant enough..."

In the scene, the two foreigners were talking with anticipation.

"Good-looking...star-like!"

Another dunk...

The two foreigners were also dumbfounded.

"This kid must be selected in the first round..."

...

"You're a player with great potential, Ro."

"You can run... you can pass... you can shoot... you can dunk..."

"And full of power..."

"This is not common! Last year in Atlanta, you capped O'Neal! The year before last, you led the Chinese National Youth Team and beat the Koreans to the ground. You are a player with a big heart!"

The middle-aged woman looked at her son proudly, and the middle-aged man shook hands with the two foreigners.

"This is Tom Martinez, the overseas player consultant of the Los Angeles Lakers..." (Ron was selected by the Lakers)

Ron smiled and passed his hand over.

"Hey, how are you? Young star!"

"Nice to meet you…"

The mother was full of expectations, and the father bowed his head with some complicated thoughts...

"I haven't seen a truly versatile player overseas for a long time!"

"Are you... interested in coming to the United States on the other side of the ocean to play in the NBA? We would like to invite you to participate in next year's draft..."

...

In 98, the night before the draft...

"Tell us, why do you value Ron... What's so special about him... Can he succeed?" Father asked hesitantly...

"You know, the NBA is a business league... There are many people with better ball skills than Luo, but young people like Luo are rare... He has Chinese nationality, can run, pass, shoot, and grab... And he has a celebrity face...Young people with all five skills are not found every day..." The scout swore...

Mother listened quietly, and Ron couldn't restrain his inner joy...

"Most of the youngsters we look at have only one or two skills. We hope to develop one more at most. Your son has five! He has the potential of a future Staples superstar! Now is the time to let him start..."

"We will propose a considerable amount to guarantee this contract... because we hope that he can become a member of our Zijin Dynasty and not be poached by others... This check represents the determination of the team..."

"You know that the country will provide him with the opportunity to go to college..." asked the mother.

"Ok, I know…"

"So, can he finish his studies while waiting for news from the league? In fact, his level of education...I'm afraid that he won't have any skills in the end...You know, playing basketball is for youth, and it's impossible for a person to play for a lifetime..."

"Unfortunately, ma'am, he can't go to college at the same time. It will be very difficult for him to enter the league. Similarly, Chinese college basketball will only delay his skills, so the gain outweighs the loss..."

"He can only choose one. If he wants to enter the league early, become an NBA player, or finish college, that will only lower his market... 25 years old and 21 years old are completely different..."

The old man swore to Ron who was hesitant and said, "We will all tell some young people at a certain time that they can no longer play children's basketball, but it's not necessarily when..."

"Of course, some are 18, some are 30...but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity...we want you so badly and this amount speaks volumes..."

"Don't worry, as long as they fancy you, they will play basketball forever, until you can never move..."

Ron looked at the 6-digit check on the table and the old man's sworn words, his eyes flickered...

"Ron, no matter what your decision is...whether you stay in China to complete your studies, or go to the NBA to participate in the draft, your father and your mother will support you..."

...

1998 World Championships…

CNTV commentator: "I think the Lakers have found a treasure by signing Ron..."

Ron broke through and squeezed into the inside line, turned around with his back, and another beautiful wipe... The German called a timeout...

Another: "He's young, talented...a true all-around player with speed...a solid investment..."

Commentator: "The Lakers will sign this kind of beautiful contract, such as last year's Kobe Bryant..."

...

When he came back, the Germans stepped up his defense. After he broke through, he pulled, and he played badly when he hit the back...

Ron threw the person in front of him to the ground with an angry expression on his face...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was sent off, he took off his jersey, and rushed back to the locker room sullenly...

...

1999 Asian Championships
CCTV: "The one in front of you is our Chinese athlete Ron, the young man has received a contract from an NBA team...they may take him away at any time..."

CCTV: "He has never failed. In this land right now, he once led the 14-year-old youth team to beat Korean athletes..."

"Foul... No. 7 Ron Thug... 4th time."

CCTV: "The Chinese team requested a substitution..."

NBA scout: "This young man may be a bit grumpy, there is no one who would not want to gamble on this guy..."

"If it's not as expected, it can happen every year, some people can play their potential, some people can't..."

2000 Sydney Olympic Games
He sat at the bar feeling lost...

Suddenly violently kicked his injured ankle...

2001

He sat at the end of the bench in a daze, looking at the cheering or frustrated teammates...

day and night...

2002 World Championships
Ron hid in the tunnel... gasping for breath...

"Only a few people can really penetrate into a young man's heart and see if he really has confidence in himself... You can sign him according to his ability, but for him to succeed, he must first build confidence..."

"Once he's confident, he's going to be able to produce results... Scouts make decisions based on what he sees... If things don't work out, keep looking... This is the NBA... A lot of people get called, very few stay..."

"For the sake of the players? God forget it! The NBA is a business!"

It'sa-business!
...

A night at a certain Toyota Center...

"Ron, Pindao and Olajuwon have held back for a long time and wanted to ask you... You are always being mean to those scouting consultants, is it because of a guy like them who picked you decades ago, ignored you, and watched you go astray?"

"...Something like that! They're not fortune-tellers, and they can't tell a child's future just by looking at him...I've also heard them tell those parents, 'I can tell right away that your son will be promising in the future...' Actually, they know it!" Ron let out a long sigh of relief: "At the beginning, I was a little worried, but I later found out that it's a system problem! The NBA doesn't care about the life and death of players.

"But me...One day, even if I give up everything, even if everyone doesn't understand, I can't let my players make the same mistakes...It's not that I'm so great...It's one of the original intentions I came here, for the basketball we love so much!"

……

"I can't wait to see Ron's bewildered face!" said a traitor at the scene.

"Hey! I thought it was a sure thing, but this guy really knows how to argue! Fortunately...the goddess of victory is on our side..."

"That's not the 'magic operator' Mr. Pat Riley's superb layout method! What's the matter with the goddess of victory? It's strength!"

When Barry finally appeared in front of the rostrum, that ticket was insignificant. In everyone's mind, this guy was the one who had been contradicting Ron all the time...

And Ron himself also believes that this farce was completely planned by him...

It's just that I underestimated this guy's strength...

Thousands of calculations... I can't figure out that Berry has hidden a lot of strength on weekdays!Ron laughed self-deprecatingly... (actually Pat Riley was playing tricks)
"Then, Barry, your ticket..." Angelina Jian repeated impatiently.

In front of everyone, he tore the small square note of "YES" or "NO" into scraps of paper...

"Isn't the answer obvious!" He jokingly said, and all the Daoluo factions in the audience have already started cheering...

Jane glared at him, then turned around in disgust: "Then I declare..."

"Wait! I haven't finished talking, old man!" Barry smiled humorously, and glanced at Ron, who was somewhat convinced by the defeat...

"Damn it, a soldier can be killed but not humiliated!" Olajuwon clenched his fists, and Qing Itachi began to breathe...

...

"Old man, I have been working in Houston for more than 30 years. Over the years, I have changed 3 bosses and 10 managers... It is finally the end of my life!" He smiled brighter and brighter.

"Who the hell said you must be the manager!" Dawson whispered angrily, but Barry pretended not to hear.

"Well... that's right, the days are coming to an end, and the answer is too obvious, old man, I am dazzled, but my heart is not disturbed..." He suddenly became excited, and angrily glared at all the people who were smirking at him: "Are you all idiots? Is there any reason not to let this guy stay! I have waited for so many years, and I finally got a guy who I really admire from the bottom of my heart! How much did you charge to be willing to be 'that guy''s lackeys! Can't you see that this guy—he is Super basketball manager!"

reverse?

A reversal of fortune?

Ron looked at Barry in surprise. After venting all the unhappiness in his heart fiercely, he quickly walked down the stage without looking back, leaving all the dumbfounded Daoluo factions looking at each other...

"Bribe? You must be responsible for your words, Barry!"

"No problem, just come!" Before he left, he walked up to Ron with complicated eyes...

"Remember, I'm not helping you! I still hate you... But compared to our personal grievances, I'll give you back what you said at the Toyota Center intact!" Barry patted Ron on the shoulder lightly, and left feeling a little disappointed...

For the team!For unity!
When an old man who had abandoned his dream for more than 30 years, abandoned his selfish desires for the sake of the team, and chose to give up, it was only then that Ron realized that sometimes it was not just him who defeated his desires...

At the Toyota Center, the anxiously waiting players were fidgeting, Mayo was furious, and Yao Ming kept his face ashen, serious...

"Hoo hoo hoo..." When everyone saw Lowry and Ariza running over panting, the panic in everyone's hearts reached the extreme...

"How? Hey! Say something!" Chandler said.

"Thank-Godness!" Lowry said with a smile. "The manager finally stayed!"

"Nice!"

"but…"

　Guarantee a change!
