the great gatsby

Chapter 243 Donny Walsh Destroyed! (fifth more)

"Boss, don't worry, I had a very happy conversation with Rich Paul. He said that James yearned for life in New York, especially after I told him the income calculated by the financial planner, he was so happy and crazy, even with me. Guarantee he will bring James to New York." Donnie Walsh said triumphantly in front of James Dolan.

James Dolan also said happily: "Okay, continue to contact, it is best to invite James to come for an interview, and let's dispel his doubts together!" James Dolan looked very happy, "Also, Gatsby should agree to recruit James Bar?"

Donnie Walsh said indifferently: "He doesn't have any problems."

James Dolan thought that Donny Walsh had already discussed it with Gatsby, so he didn't care, and nodded in satisfaction.

Far away in the sea view room in Miami, LeBron James put down his phone and looked at the vast sea in silence. Rich Paul came over and interrupted the peace in the house: "What did that old man Donny say?"

James shook his head and said, "It's not about exposure, money, and status."

Rich Paul laughed: "Isn't that what we want?"

James shook his head: "What I want is a championship."

Rich Paul scratched his head and said: "Didn't you say that the Knicks' lineup is already very good, as long as you pass, this Knicks team can become the favorite to win the championship."

James nodded and said, "I'm waiting for someone's call."

Rich Paul wondered: "Donny Walsh and James Dolan have called you! Who else?"

James glanced at Rich Paul: "Gatsby."

Rich Paul laughed: "What does that matter, as long as you get to the Knicks, you are the well-deserved boss."

James shook his head: "That's not the case. Gatsby is a real leader. If he doesn't want me to go there, there will be conflicts in the locker room. If we can't cooperate with him, it's better not to go. I'm willing to go to the Knicks." It’s because of Gatsby’s ability, if the time comes to force him away, what am I going to go to the Knicks for?”

Rich Paul was silent. Of course he likes money, but he wants James to have a higher status. He and James belong to a mutual relationship. Only when James is good can Rich Paul be better. Besides, even if he persuades James, it may not be possible. Can be persuaded, James is a very assertive person, and will not listen to him on this kind of thing.

Donny Walsh has been actively contacting James, but James has never had a clear answer. As the time for the free market to open is getting closer, Donny Walsh is also getting more and more anxious, but he doesn't know that James is still there. He was hesitating and didn't know how to start. It's not that he didn't think about asking Gatsby for help, but he resisted in his heart. Fortunately, Stoudemire's progress is still very good, and Stoudemire has already intended to go to the Knicks.

On July 7, Donny Walsh was still in contact with Rich Paul, but Rich Paul never answered the phone. Donny Walsh was very frustrated. He knew that something he didn't want to see should happen.

"Beep!" The office phone rang, and Donny Walsh answered the phone. Before he could make a sound, James Dolan's icy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Turn on ESPN and watch it."

Donnie Walsh's heart was cold. At this time, there was nothing else to do except James. He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

"...I'm taking my talent to Miami!" said LeBron James on TV.

Donny Walsh felt his eyes go dark, and it took him a while to recover. He grabbed the phone and called Rich Paul. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.

"Oh, Downey, I'm sorry, LeBron still chose Miami." Rich Paul seemed a little sorry.

Donnie Walsh's fingers holding the phone were a little white, and he tried to keep his voice steady so as not to let Rich Paul hear his gritted teeth.

"Rich, please tell me why I chose Miami. Is there anything the Knicks didn't do well?"

"Sorry, Downey, I also want LeBron to bring his talents to the Knicks, but Gatsby is unwilling to cooperate with LeBron..." Rich Paul said.

"What! Why did Gatsby not want to cooperate with LeBron? He didn't say anything!" Donny Walsh said loudly.

"He didn't say anything. He didn't even call LeBron. Is this an attitude of willingness to cooperate?" Rich Paul said disdainfully.

Donny Walsh seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. He knew what he had done wrong, and he hung up the phone in a daze.

"Bang bang! Bang bang!" The people in the office were knocked loudly.

"Come in!" Donnie Walsh said angrily.

James Dolan came in with an angry look on his face. As soon as Dolan came in, he shouted: "Donny, didn't you say James was coming to the Knicks!"

Donnie Walsh turned pale and fell softly on the sofa. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "James, this matter is my fault."

James Dolan squinted at Donny Walsh: "What do you mean?"

Donnie Walsh said with a trembling voice, "I didn't communicate with Gatsby about this matter. LeBron didn't receive a call from Gatsby. He thought Gatsby didn't want him to come to the Knicks, so he chose Miami."

James Dolan's face turned dark, and his voice seemed to be mixed with ice: "So in order to monopolize the credit for recruiting LeBron, you excluded Gatsby?"

Donny Walsh nodded palely.

James Dolan took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Where is Amare?"

"I didn't tell Gatsby either." Donny Walsh felt his energy was lost.

James Dolan gave Donny Walsh a sympathetic look, took out his mobile phone and made a call. Gatsby arrived in less than 5 minutes, covered in sweat, as if he had just finished exercising.

James Dolan smiled: "Gatsby, why don't you take more rest, the season has just ended, and you're training again?"

Gatsby smiled and said, "Today I received a new friend, Jamie Lin, and I took him to train for a while."

James Dorange said: "You are very optimistic about him?"

Gatsby nodded: "Jamie has great potential, but there are still things that can be improved. I'm teaching him how to play better on the court now. His three-pointers need to be strengthened, and the timing of pick-and-roll shots must be grasped. The shot selection can also be done better, the key is that his confidence is still insufficient, this is where I focus on improving him now, and I hope to develop him into a qualified rotation member before the start of the new season."

James Dolan smiled and said: "I'm relieved to leave it to you, but you still need to rest more. You should have a rest time after all, and you should enjoy life more! My cruise ship has not been used recently, so you use it for fun? The cost is all Count me in, you just play with confidence!"
