Chapter 685 Chapter 682: The first serious consideration (4.5K begging tickets)
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and Wayne was not in the mood to watch the game at all.

In Wayne's previous life, Paul Allen passed away in 2018, and now it is 2015.

Even if everything goes as usual, Allen probably only has three years to live.

Wayne originally thought that because of a series of butterfly effects in this history, Allen's life span would be longer.

But what does Allen mean by saying that his situation seems to be worse than the original history?

"What? Stop kidding Alan, you look healthy, much better than you were two years ago. Didn't you also say on social media, are you basically recovered?"

You're watching a game well, and suddenly someone comes and tells you he's dying, who can bear that?

Although Wayne's psychological quality is strong enough, he is somewhat flustered now.

"I'm lying, I can't say I'm dying on social media, can I?

My mental condition is good, but my illness has nothing to do with my mental condition. I may die in my sleep.

The doctor said that my current condition is irreversible and the cancer cells have completely spread.

He couldn't say for sure, but he estimated that I had only a year or two to live. "

Having said that, Paul Allen's smile disappeared.

Truth be told, when a man knows his time is near.He will never be excited by being able to predict the future, he will only bear a lot of pressure.

Because every second you experience, every minute and every day, your lifespan is clearly reduced a little bit.

Facing the countdown to one's own life is by no means an easy task.

When Alan first knew that his time was approaching, he was depressed.

Although he knew that this day would come back sooner or later, he still couldn't accept it for a while.

After a long period of psychotherapy, Allen was relieved and calmly faced his next life.

For a dying person like Allen who is not short of money, he actually has no worries.

Most of his assets were left to his own sister Judy, and a small part has been decided to donate after death.

What he is most worried about now is the Portland Trail Blazers.

This team is the most special of all assets to him.

Because this is not just a business, but the love of his life.

He hopes to see his team one last time and reach the top before he dies!
"I know, I'm not qualified to ask you. You have brought so much to this city, to this team, you have built a Blazers dynasty.

I thank you Wayne, without you, I may not have seen my team win the championship in this life.

But, if you can. Please!
This is my last wish, Wei. "

After Allen finished speaking, in order to alleviate the overly serious atmosphere, he squeezed out a smile.

"Of course, if you are willing to come back, I promise to give you a part of the team shares after my death. Don't worry, we can sign a contract, and we won't die without evidence.

To be honest, I don't worry about handing over any business to Judy, but I don't worry about handing over the team to her.

Her mind...is not on basketball, and she doesn't understand basketball.

You can also see that the team's business situation has not been good in the past two years.

But if you can hold shares and become a small owner of the team, it's another matter.

Handing over the team to you may be the best attribution. "

Allen, as an old capitalist, of course knows that it is useless to play the emotional card in this society.

To ask someone to do something, he must also give something substantial.

Pay Wayne?That is what should be given, not what to pay.

In addition to salary, there must be other rewards.

And the team shares are probably what Allen has the most at the moment.

It is not uncommon for NBA owners to promise to give players shares.

In Wayne's previous life, after Dirk retired, Cuban gave the old driver a part of the team holdings.

Not to mention the NBA, even Xibee is not new.

When the king Wang Zhelin renewed his contract with the team, in order to let him stay, the team gave him the team shares half sold and half given away.

Therefore, in fact, Wang Zhelin is in Xibei, as the owner and player.

If the teammates really want to talk about it, they have to call him Mr. Wang.

No wonder I, Mr. Wang, always want to say something on the court.

Of course, not everyone is as smooth as them.

In the original history, Timberwolves had promised to give hard special shares, let hard special go back and bring newcomers to stimulate the box office by the way.

As a result, after the hard special retired, he realized that he had been slapped.

Originally, his relationship with the Timberwolves boss was not good, and it was all maintained by the old Philip Sanders.

When old Sanders died, the relationship between Hardt and Timberwolves was completely broken.

Now, Allen is also willing to use shares to ask Wayne to come back.But he is not talking about it, but is willing to sign the contract directly.

Wayne thought about it carefully, and if he could get a part of the shares directly, he could buy part of it with his own money afterwards.

Then he can become the big boss of the Trail Blazers.

In the past two years after retiring, although Wayne has done a lot of things, they are basically not "business".

Being the head coach is just a part-time job, and playing UFC is just for fun.

Because of this, Wayne now feels a sense of confusion.

But if he can transform into a team owner, Wayne can continue his basketball career and have a serious job.

Moreover, being a boss is not as tiring as a player, and he still has a lot of time to spend with his family.

You know, with Wayne's current financial resources, he has no way to directly acquire the Blazers.

The current market value of the Blazers is close to 20 small targets. No matter how rich Wayne is, it will be difficult to spend 20 billion dollars at once.

As a comparison, the old hooligan is so rich, and his total net worth does not add up to 20 billion.

The chatting beverage business is so successful, the total net worth is only [-] to [-] million.

Therefore, if he can get a part of the equity as a gift, Wayne will buy part of it out of his own pocket, which is his best choice to enter the game.

Spend the least amount of money and do the biggest thing.

To be honest, Wayne was a little moved.

But after all, this is not a decision that can be made with a slap on the head. I haven't played well for more than two years. Can I really come back?

Wayne had to think again.

It would be a shame if the fight was a mess after returning.

That is forcibly lowering one's own historical status.

At this time, on the court, the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals was in progress.

The Blazers' opponent is the Golden State Warriors led by Pao Er.

This season, Thompson has fully grown into a quasi-star, and Jebao also won the Most Improved Award.

On the bench, Middleton shined and was No.3 in the selection of the best sixth man.

To be honest, this year's Blazers are not weak, and those potential stocks hoarded back then have begun to realize their talents.

Because of this, the Trail Blazers, who failed in the Western Conference semifinals last season, reached the Western Conference Finals this year.

Of course, there are also reasons why the defending champion Spurs are aging and the Thunder did not make the playoffs directly because of Durant's injury.

The decline of these two teams has made the competition in the West this year not very great.

For example, in the last round, when the Blazers faced Mosaic, how bad was Hakishi's efficiency?
It was so short that McHale had a game and put Harden on the bench in the fourth quarter!

In the last quarter, the head star was pushed on the bench. How badly he had to play for the head coach to make such a big determination.

Such an opponent can play in the Western Conference semifinals.

It can be seen that this year's competition in the West is simply pediatrics compared with previous years.

If the two teams, the Spurs and the Thunder, maintain the state of last season, whether the Blazers can make it to the Western Conference Finals is another matter.

The Trail Blazers are talented, but not omnipotent.

Their talents are enough to get them to the Western Conference Finals.

But starting from the Western Conference finals, talent alone is not enough.

Splash Brothers + Jiebao, there is nothing to say about the outside attack power.

There is also the up-and-coming Middleton on the bench. Although this guy is not as flamboyant as Finsen back then, he has fewer mistakes.

But this team still lacks an organizational point and a defensive gate.

To put it bluntly, you can understand this Trail Blazers team as the Warriors who won the championship in 15.

They have the Splash Brothers, Jebao who is similar to the first brother, and Middleton who is similar to Harrison Barnes.

But only one Green character is missing.

The Warriors won the championship in 15. Does Green play a big role?

I believe this will not be controversial.

Green is the key figure in the success of the Death Five.

Maybe he's not a good guy, maybe he's really a system player.

But it must be admitted that Green is an indispensable puzzle for the Warriors to win the championship in 15 years.

The library chase pick-and-roll is the most lethal weapon of that Warriors.

But now he can pick and roll with Curry
Only Lao Ga Suo and Lao Ga Nei.

Oh, and an old bird that can't fly.

These three still can't open the space, resulting in a very mediocre pick-and-roll effect.

So where is Green?Green is chasing the warrior of the cannon!
It is precisely because of Green's rise that the Warriors reached the Western Conference Finals this season!

Although Paul can sort out the offense, Green doesn't need to do too much organizational work.

But Green's role on the defensive end is irreplaceable.

His existence made the Blazers' already difficult pick-and-roll more difficult to start.

For the first time, he can make up.

After the completion, if Gasol and Harder go down, Green can chase it back.

And Green still has three-pointers in the past two seasons, and he can also reversely help Paul and others to open up space, making the Blazers' already poor inside defense worse.

Ever since, the two sides fought to tiebreaker.

The game has reached the final moment. Just now, a three-pointer by Thompson allowed the Blazers to overtake by 1 point.

As long as the lead is maintained, Curry can lead the team to the finals again!
This time the Warriors attacked, after Green set up a cover for Paul, he suddenly cut in and caught the old bird by surprise.

Birdman couldn't catch up at all, Paul easily hit the ground and passed the ball, and Green, who assisted and cut in, made a layup.

The score was overtaken again!

The game became anxious, and Wayne watched it very anxiously.

But damn it, there was a small accident at this critical moment.

When Curry ran out to catch the ball in this offense, he accidentally sprained his ankle 90°!

At that time, Carlisle was so scared that he hurriedly called a timeout.

Curry walked down, clutching his ankles, grinning.

According to the usual handling method, he must not be able to go up again.

But at this time, Curry looked at the score, looked at the little time left, and looked at the championship pennant and luxurious private rooms on the roof of the arena.

He knew that Wayne was watching him there.

He also remembered that Wayne entrusted this team to himself.

As the core of this team, how can they retreat at the last moment of the tie-break?

Moreover, the opponent is Chris Paul!

It's okay to lose to anyone, but not Paul!

So Curry turned to look at Carlisle: "Give me the painkillers!"

"What?" Carlisle was stunned. He had coached the NBA for more than ten years and had never heard of such a request.

"Give me the painkiller, I will continue to fight!"

After speaking, the team doctor brought painkillers.Curry picked up the painkiller on the spot and swallowed it, then stood up and jumped twice.

Wayne sat in the luxury private room, frowning tightly.

The tragedy of this match far exceeded his expectations.

The duel between Pao'er and Curry is thrilling every time.

Hey, they are born from the same root, so why rush each other.

In the end, don't you two have to call me father?
The primary school student reappeared after taking the drug, staged the scene of the return of the king, scored three points as soon as he came up, and once again helped the team overtake!

"Come on, come on." The joints of Wayne's fists turned white from being too tightly squeezed.

For the first time since retiring, Wayne was so excited to watch a game.

Watching the elementary school students take painkillers on the spot, watching everyone fight for victory, the blood in Wayne's body boiled again after being immersed for a long time.

In the next round, Paul broke through and scored, assisted Green to score a key three-pointer, and returned the favor!

"Oh, shit!" Wayne was anxious, if he was here, how could Green get such an opportunity
if he is there
Later, Iguodala made a steal while defending Butler and successfully shot the basketball away.

Butler hurried to pick up the ball, but couldn't pick it up because it was too short, and instead poked the ball out again.

Seeing that the basketball was about to go out of bounds, Jiebao swooped and hit his head on the billboard.

But even so, the ball couldn't be saved.Iguodala got the basketball and made a fast break!

If the Blazers have a super giant like Wayne or James at this time, then there is still the possibility of a miraculous block.

Sometimes it is the superstar who determines the upper limit of a team.

But it's a pity that the Blazers don't have such a character.

"Dunk, Andre Iguodala, he scored a key goal for the Warriors! There is not much time left in the game, are the Warriors going to the finals!?"

The voice of the on-site commentary was trembling, and many fans in the Rose Garden covered their eyes, not daring to watch the next game.

Then, on the last attack, Stephen Curry singled Paul.

Paul has no pressure to defend the ball, because Curry's only option is to shoot a three-pointer.
Only by shooting a three-pointer can the Blazers tie the score.

Under the influence of Paul's defense and ankle, Curry's jumper finally knocked out of the frame.

The moment the basketball bounces, the red light on the backboard lights up.

"The game is over, Stephen Curry missed a shot leading to the finals!"

"Fuck!" Wayne, who stood up excitedly, covered his face, feeling extremely disappointed.

Just a little bit!

Although this year, the Cavaliers are not as full of injuries as in the original history, Love and Irving are both healthy.

Therefore, no matter who enters the finals in the West, it will be difficult to beat the well-organized Cavaliers.

The Blazers don't have "Green", and no one can stop James.

But if you go in, at least you have a chance to fight.

Wayne was heartbroken for Curry to be blocked in this way.

There is no way, the cruelty of competitive sports is like this, the outcome is only a moment.Maybe our dreams are in the distant stars, but we must also accept this dramatic reality.

Competitive sports are very close to the law of the jungle, and it is more harsh on the top teams of the pyramid.

Because sometimes it may be just one round, one ball, and the opponent will take all of you.

The Portland Trail Blazers fell for the second consecutive year.

Curry squatted on the ground, covering his head with a towel.

No one knows what the core that stood up at this critical moment was thinking.

Wayne sat back with a sigh, if only he was here
After being stared at by James and watching the Chinese team being abused by a motley crew, Wayne felt the urge to play for the third time.

As it turns out, Wayne never quite let go of basketball from start to finish.

On one side, there is the marinated egg that has stepped down.

On the one hand, it is a life that has begun to become dull.

On the one hand, there is a team led by a superstar.

On one side, is the boss who is about to fulfill his final dream.

On the other hand, it is the team shares that are extremely important to future career planning.

Now, there are several reasons to push Wayne down that road.

Comeback?

Wayne, for the first time, began to seriously consider this question
　It's not that I won't give Mousse the championship, I didn't deliberately blackmail Lao Zhan.In the background of the novel, this year is definitely the Cavaliers championship.The reason why they didn't give it last season was because from a practical point of view, the Heat really couldn't beat the Spurs.Moreover, if Mousse wins the championship with the Heat, he has no motivation to go home.Therefore, from the perspective of reality and story, Mousse could not win the championship last season.That's the reason, I don't dare to fool the old pigeon~ This year, my emperor will be enthroned.
