Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 70 The Train to Hell

The knock on the door that seemed like a shadow in the night made Ron toss and turn.

For a while, I was worried about my auditory hallucinations, and for a while I was entangled but lonely. The room was so close that I could smell the fragrance that belonged to that woman's body that night when I opened the window.

Phew~ At this time, the ringing of the phone happened to interrupt Ron's imagination...

"What? Haven't come back yet?"

...

At noon the next day, after the whole team had dinner at the 5-star hotel, they took a break and were about to leave when Mayo returned slowly.

Ron's face was ashen. Although some big-name players of the team even arrived at the stadium just a moment before the game, this gentleman was really unlucky. He met a super manager who appeared once in a century.

Lisa stopped the phone she was constantly making, and Ron snorted, and with sharp eyes, he symbolically woke up a young boy who had already noticed something was wrong and was stunned.

"Hey, relax, this is the NBA! Luo, there will always be a few disobedient bad boys in the team..." Every time Olajuwon would stand up and sing a bad face at this time. "You can't expect everyone to cry like a good baby and wait for us to nurse. That's not good. Such a team loses some of the blood that it should have..."

"Fuck his sister's blood!" Sitting in the car where the managers were riding, Ron burst into a rage, which surprised everyone in the car.

"Why can others stay comfortably in the hotel, but he can't? Why are there so many problems!" Ron started talking nonsense, and even Lisa who was on the side really saw another Ron with a different temper and personality today.

"Hello!" Olajuwon whispered with a harmonious expression, "You can't say something like this in public! There are too many people here..."

He looked around vigilantly, reminding Ron to pay attention to his identity.

"Hmph!" Ron snorted coldly, noticing his loss of control, and deliberately lowered his voice: "It's not a good sign to start showing off now! Mr. Hashim! You know, you used to be a player."

Olajuwon nodded and shrugged.

This guy really seems to want to train Mayo as his successor!The kid was lucky.Olajuwon thought to himself.

...

The car started and headed towards the energy solution center tavern in Salt Lake City.

"Luo..." After weighing it for a long time, Dameng is not a guy who can keep things in his heart. "Since the two of us know each other so well, I'll ask you clearly. You... you plan to focus on cultivating Mayo! Then... what about the others?"

other people?Ron looked at the earnest old man and thought, it's rare for this guy to speak so euphemistically...

"You mean Martin?" Ron's eyes lit up as he said the name.

Olajuwon smiled and touched his head: "I can't hide it from you!"

"Well... I can see this level, there is progress..." Ron teased with a smile, and then said seriously: "Actually... I haven't made a complete conclusion in my heart... Actually, you also know that it is a realistic problem, coexistence..."

“老实说这是一个既幸福又很烦恼的问题，球只有一个…上场比赛的人也只能有5个…我们不是疯狂科学家老尼尔森的后院，不可能允许有位置重叠的人员出现…有些情况下1+1=3，有些情况下1+1=0…”

Olajuwon wondered.

"Then you said it so grandly in front of him yesterday... I thought you used him or Mayo to play the sixth man..."

"Ah, I said official, that's right. The sixth man? No, it's impossible. From the perspective of the team's structure and effectiveness, Xiaode is the best candidate... Mayo will be the team's most popular player, and Martin will play as a substitute, and the value-to-salary ratio is too high..."

Olajuwon frowned speechlessly, and whispered: "You chase the ball so perfectly, which team doesn't have one or two bad contracts..."

"What did you say?" Ron happily pushed him.

"No…"

"Everything should be done to the best of its ability, and people should do their best... I won't repeat the description..." Ron sighed long...

"You know? I'm afraid that I won't be able to make the right decision because of the fetters with the players!"

"That's right!" Olajuwon smiled.

"Actually, I don't know the real answer. Let's see what happens next...Maybe Martin's running without the ball will bring us some surprises..." These were the last words Ron emphasized in the car.

...

Off to Salt Lake City!
From a long distance, you can see the arena that looks like a sculpture on ice appearing in front of your field of vision. Two huge statues explain to people the history of the uncrowned king.

Postman Malone and Stockton…

This combination is the Jazz's stable performance over the years, mainly due to the stability of the lineup.

In 1984, the Jazz selected John Stockton with the 16th overall pick, and in 1985 they selected Malone with the 13th overall pick. The two became the backbone of the Jazz since then. In the 90s, the Jazz entered the Finals twice, thanks to them.

After nearly 10 years of cooperation, the two finally reached their peak in the 1996-1997 season.

爵士队1997年常规赛主场战绩为38胜3负，最后以64胜18负的总战绩，第一次以赛区第一的成绩进入季后赛。他们相继击败了快船队、湖人队和火箭队，但最后以2比4结束首次总决赛。

In the 1997-1998 season, the Jazz re-entered the finals. In that season, they won 60 wins and 20 losses in the regular season, and once again won the first place in the Western Conference.The Rockets, Spurs, and Lakers won consecutively in the playoffs.Entered the finals again, but unfortunately lost again to the same team, the Chicago Bulls led by the basketball god Michael Jordan, and returned home.

Although the Jazz have had few outstanding records after the retirement of the Jazz, the love of basketball in Salt Lake City remains the same.The original title sponsor of this arena has always been Delta Airlines. Before 2006, it was called the Delta Center, and it was only temporarily renamed the Salt Lake City Ice Sports Center during the 2002 Winter Olympics.It took nearly two years to change its name to the Energy Solutions Arena. The reason was that Delta Airlines was losing money year after year and was unwilling to name the arena again. Therefore, Energy Solutions took advantage of the vacancy and won the naming rights.

In the past two years, the people of Salt Lake City have given Energy Solution Arena various nicknames. Those who want to save trouble directly call it "Junkyard", those who want to impress call it "Laser Palace", and some mean guys come up with names like "Atomic Bomb Bunker" or "Energy Pollution Arena"... In short, they all refer to the industry background of the sponsors.

The Energy Solution Arena is not only weird to pronounce in Chinese, but also awkward to pronounce in English. Many Jazz fans don't like this name, and they still stubbornly call it the Delta Center.In addition, the business of energy solution companies is to deal with low-end nuclear waste. The so-called low-end means that what they deal with is not such scary things as waste nuclear fuel or atomic bombs.

The owner of the Jazz also hesitated when he first contacted the energy solution company. After all, the other party operated a radioactive waste disposal base 75 miles away from Salt Lake City. However, with the in-depth understanding of the two parties, he began to change his mind and believed that "nuclear" is not a topic that changes color.For energy solution companies, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity for publicity and promotion.

Its CEO believes that people should abandon outdated concepts and establish a new understanding of the issue of nuclear waste.The commercial alliance with well-known arenas and stadiums is obviously beneficial to the promotion of the company's image, and the naming of the home stadium of the Jazz is an excellent opportunity.

Nuclear or not, for Ron, the fans here are a hundred times more terrifying than the atomic bomb.

Still, he got off to a pretty good start.

As soon as he got out of the car, Mayo obediently ran over to report to Ron with an uneasy heart.

"Manager...my cell phone is out of battery...I've already greeted that one..." He buried his eyes deeply like a child who did something wrong.

"With whom?" Ron was also reluctant...

"And..." He bit his lip in embarrassment.

"..." Ron's hanging heart finally calmed down.

"I didn't do anything bad, look, I'm in good shape today! I promise to beat them until they can't find Bei...hehe..."

"You!" Ron frowned slightly, but patted him on the shoulder like a brother...

"A team is like an army. You must pay attention to discipline. If you say that even the boss of the army does not observe discipline, what will others think?"

Mayo froze in place, suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, which suddenly turned into a hint of joy...

"Okay, let me record this matter in advance. If you lose the game, you will settle the account later..." Ron sighed proudly.

"Wow!" The kid pretended to be embarrassed, and ran to the training hall in despair.

It's good to be young... Ron closed his eyes slightly, for some reason, some lost things echoed in his mind...

...

In the evening of the day, many fans lined up to enter the arena. Many fans in Salt Lake City still remember him. Today's opponent, who lost to his own Houston Rockets twice in the playoffs...

They brought their own well-prepared props, and everyone wanted to give the visiting team a little color...

Many times, we watch the game and think that off-court factors are dispensable. In fact, people are not grass and trees, so how can it be unaffected?

Utah's Energy Solutions Center is the noisiest arena in the NBA.Coupled with the plateau climate of Salt Lake City, coupled with the toughness of the Jazz players and Sloan's calmness that has remained unchanged for more than [-] years.Who can get out of here unscathed.

The Bulls dynasty could.

But the rocket can't.

Remember playing against the Utah Jazz for two consecutive seasons?
Here I have to take McGrady as an example.

Maizi is a lonely hero.

No matter how he came, it was difficult for him to break through this vicious circle.He tried his best, and it seemed that he could only win respect for himself, but he couldn't bring the most urgent victory to the team.

When he met the Jazz for the second time, Dayao was not there.Everyone saw McGrady who scored super and had a strong desire to win in Game 6.

But where is he in the third quarter when he is most needed?Maybe he shouldn't be blamed, only complaining to himself.He wanted to take on everything, but fate didn't favor him.

Jazz can absolutely pissed off Adelman!Looking at their countless cuts and pick-and-rolls, I don't believe that Ashuai will be indifferent.But what can he do.Comrade Sloan has led the team like this for many years, and who can do anything to him!

The Rockets also counterattacked. No, when McGrady counterattacked, I really hope that he will not do this.Because the effect is minimal, it can only add to the tragic atmosphere.At the end of the fourth quarter, the Jazz's starter was still on the field, but the Rockets had already given up.All the substitutes are on, which is really chilling.Is this God's will or fate!He still failed to "Mike" the first round!
Jazz fans are fierce!Jazz players are tough!Sloan is tough!
And tonight Salt Lake City is sleepless again!

The loud booming, the endless high-decibel noise from the audience scraped off all the Rockets players before the game even started...

Looking at this posture, even Mayo, who was originally inflated in self-confidence, began to retreat...

Those with sharp eyes can even see that many fans have come prepared. The names and portraits of every Rockets player plus some dirty words have been put together by Jazz fans with a strong taste...

Some people even start to think of the treatment of the grill and the free day trip to hell.

But there is one person who is full of confidence...

"Nice! When we beat 'em up, Lisa...you remember to help me take some close-up pictures of the distraught fans and send them to my Twitter..."

All the guys in the visiting team's locker room burst into laughter.

Another moment of silence for the Rockets.Poor uncle, poor Maddie.Sad Chinese fans!Facing the howling sound all over the sky, Ron bowed slightly to salute...

Tonight, all previous grievances and grievances must be completely settled!
The train that seems to lead to hell is actually a round-trip ticket to heaven in Ron's eyes.

　Orgasm is about to begin!Ask for a reward, all kinds of requests!
　　Chapter 1 today!
