Chapter 333: The Last Trace of Respect [Ten Thousand Words Burst Out Second Update!] 】
"Speaking of which, should we go and send Billikin?"
At the end of the day's training, Chen Mu walked out of the training center with Iguodala, Korver, Carney and others, avoiding the long guns and short guns of media reporters, and finally came to the "safe zone", Iguodala opened his mouth and suggested: "Although I don't like him either, he is our former manager after all, several of us were selected by him, and your contract was signed by him, so it's a bit unreasonable not to look at him at this time, right??" ”
Iguodala's proposal was exactly what Chen Mu wanted, and the latter nodded and said, "I'm also thinking about this, and I was released on bail the day before yesterday, right?" Why don't you go and see him and express your gratitude! ”
The four hit it off, got in Iguodala's car, and headed all the way to Billkin's house.
It's been more than a week since the incident, and there are no paparazzi near Billy King's house, looking forward to getting some good material. The day before yesterday, when Billikin was released on bail, there were many reporters gathered at the entrance of the police station, and as a news report, there must be a place to stay. It will take a long time to determine how Billikin's wife abuse will be decided, and the short-term foothold can only be that Billikin is released on bail and the team breaks up peacefully with him.
Arrived at the destination smoothly, and the happy and warm cottage that belonged to Billikin in the past now exudes a depressed atmosphere.
Before they could knock on the door and enter the house, the four of them saw the situation in the house through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the vase that had been knocked over at the time of the altercation that night was still shattered to the ground, and the television, microwave oven, oven, table and chair were all overturned.
Is...... I can't bear it!
It stands to reason that Billikin's departure from the Philadelphia 76ers is something that Chen Mu has been looking forward to for a long time. But in the end, it ended in such a way, which made Chen Mu feel a little compassionate.
Perhaps, it could have left a little more beautiful.
Recalling the original timeline, although Billikin was ruthlessly fired by the team in a sweeping way, the dismissal was only because he did not do a good job. The poor record made the shareholders unbearable. Now that it ended in such a way, Billikin suffered a huge blow to both his career and family, and became a laughing stock of people.
And Chen Mu and Iguodala came to see off Billikin, and they didn't mean to fall into the well and laugh at it, but they simply felt a little pity, and wanted to express the last trace of respect to the old manager who had won the four of them for the team.
Chen Mu took a deep breath, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.
“……”
There was no response in the house, presumably for some time. There must have been a lot of media reporters knocking on this door, and Billikin probably has been bothering for a long time, and he doesn't even bother to answer, and he will not even be able to leave the door.
However, Chen Mu has Billikin's contact information, which is really not good, and he can be called out with a phone call.
In addition, it is said that feminists have come to Bilikin's door in the past few days, insulting and mocking Bilijin, and even throwing filth on Bilikin's house. As a sign of indignation.
During this time, it must be difficult......!
The more Chen Mu thought about it, the more he felt sorry, if only he could get along well at the beginning.
"Brush Pull"
There was a soft sound, and the cat's eye cover on the door was opened. Chen Mu stepped back, smiled and waved his hand in a friendly way, trying to let Billikin see who he was.
"Humph......"
After a long time, a cold snort came from inside the door. Chen Mu had already expected that Billikin would put on such an attitude, but he was not surprised, and still smiled kindly.
"Who else? Andre. Kyle, Rodney? Hmph, what a 'loyal warrior' in Philadelphia, a good dog for Chinese kids. ”
"Mr. Kim, you ......"
"What's wrong, am I wrong?"
Chen Mu was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and just opened his mouth to persuade him, but Billikin didn't appreciate it at all, and continued to sneer: "These guys, didn't they follow your ass all the time when I was here?" Now that I'm in trouble, what are you doing here? Come and laugh at me? Come and taunt me?? ”
"Mr. Kim, why do you think like that?" Chen Mu's face sank and said: "We have worked together before, we are just here to say goodbye to you, why do you think everything is so gloomy??" ”
"Dark? I think shady??? ”
Billikin still didn't open the door, and it seemed that he knew that the words he said would make Chen Mu and others angry, and if he opened the door and faced the four NBA strong men, he might be punched to Siberia.
"Is it the darkness I thought, or the darkness you do?? Yes, I did something wrong, but I didn't do enough in my eleven years with the Philadelphia 76ers, from drafting Allen Iverson, to trading to defend the No. 1 team to reach the Finals, to drafting you, signing you, building a new roster for you, and sending Allen Iverson away to pave the way for your future? What I've done, for this city, for this team, can't add up to a few slaps I slap that stinky XX? Yes?? ”
Billikin was quite agitated, and by the sound of his voice, he hadn't slept well in days.
"And you, especially you, are talking about what draft picks at such a time? Oh, yes, your draft vision is vicious, your luck is good, and the guys selected are all shining. And I, Billy Kin, have chosen all the rubbish, all the things that don't go into the stream, and they're all useless. Only you, only the great Chinese kid is right, and the truth in the universe! ”
Billikin was already a little insane, and his words became more and more sarcastic and bitter, and more and more unpleasant. Behind Chen Mu, Iguodala's fists were already clenched, if it wasn't for Korver's presence to stop him, Iguodala was afraid that Iguodala would rush into the house desperately and beat the former manager to relieve his anger.
"Drove me away in such a despicable way, and now you are embarrassed to say that you want to see me, and say goodbye to me? Oh, come on, where did you come from, where do you go back, I'm not weak enough to be ridiculed by you so face-to-face, get out! ”
"Billy King, you ......!"
Korver grabbed Iguodala.
"Oh, by the way, there's another news I didn't tell you, did I?"
Inside the room, Billykin's voice became a little oily and smooth, as if his smug and unflattened smile could be seen through the door, which made people feel itchy when they heard it.
"The team contacted me some time ago. I said that it would be better for both parties to resign on my own, and I agreed. But I also put forward a condition, do you know what that condition is? ”
Chen Mu and the four did not speak.
"Hmph, you can't think of it, right? My conditions are very simple, I did something wrong, and I deserved to be fired halfway, but the draft was not my responsibility alone, and the draft list was confirmed at that time. The scouts helped, and the coaches helped. So if the real reason for my dismissal is that the team is not building well and the draft is not good, then the scouts who determined the final draft list with me, as well as Cheeks, should also leave the team and take responsibility for the draft issue together~"
"So, that's what I have. I left the team halfway through and offered to resign to protect the image of the global team. And by the end of the season, Cheeks and Scouts. Must also leave the Philadelphia 76ers ......! ”
"What ......?!!! you?"
As soon as Billy King's words came out, Chen Mu's lungs were about to explode.
Because of the bad luck caused by his own actions, he actually had to let the innocent Cheeks and scouts be buried together as a cushion??
Billikin, are you really crazy?!
"Haha. Do you like it? Like the last gift I gave you, your former managing director, before I left the company? Hahahaha, enjoy this gift! Aren't you all one? Aren't you more like Cheeks than me? Good. I want to see what you can do to continue to fight after the manager and coach are gone, and what you use to shape the 'glory of the 76ers', hahahaha......"
After saying this, Billikin's crazy laughter continued for a long time, and after a long time, there was no sound in the room again. But Chen Mu could hear that Billikin did not leave the door, but leaned against the door and did not move, obviously still listening to the movement outside the door.
“…… Mr. Kim, before I came here, before I came to see you, I said to Andre that you gave me the opportunity to continue to work hard in the NBA, you signed me a contract of 10 million, and you gave me a group of teammates who are so compatible that I can play the future of Philadelphia in the NBA step by step. ”
Chen Mu was silent for a long time and then spoke, without insults, anger, insults and shameful laughter, his tone was flat, but there was a trace of indifference like frost.
"I don't like you, and I might even say, because you traded away with Aaron, I hate you. But as a player, I look up to you, I praise you for your unique vision in terms of drafts and trades, and I agree with your overall approach to building the team, but not with the specific approach. ”
"I thought we could find common ground while reserving differences, and although we didn't deal with each other, maybe we could continue to work together, at least until we didn't get completely intolerable with each other, and we could continue to get along as colleagues. Even if one day you really have to run your own life, you can end it in a decent way. ”
"But I was wrong."
Chen Mu's hands trembled slightly, his fists were clenched very tightly, the corners of his mouth turned out a cruel arc downward, and he shook his head slightly: "You are a hopeless loser, a vicious coward, and what you have done is not worthy of our farewell at all." You didn't open the door, and you did the right thing. Because at that moment just now, the last trace of respect I had for you in my heart had completely disappeared. ”
"Another ......"
Chen Mu took a few steps back, Iguodala and the others seemed to have realized what he was going to do, and they all got out of the way for a short distance, watching this big oriental man with a big height suddenly get up and kick the wooden door, kicking the door open in an instant.
“……!!”
Behind the door, among the messy furniture on the ground, Billikin looked frightened, tears on his face had not dried, and the suit on his body had not been changed for I don't know how many days, looking very depressed and embarrassed.
However, after a short period of panic, Billikin's face changed, and he looked at Chen Mu proudly: "Hmph, what? Are you still ready to break into private houses?? What are you kicking my door open for, are the three NBA players going to do it to their former managers? Hehe~ The court and reporters should like this kind of news~! ”
Looking at Iguodala and Korver, who were trembling with anger outside the door, the smugness on Billkin's face was even greater, and he continued with a sneer: "Yes, I'm very down, I'm ruined, and I can't hold my head up in Philadelphia at all. But I can still heal you! Don't forget that my connections are ......."
"Bang!"
Chen Mu threw a punch and smashed it Billikin's unstoppable stinky face.
"Hmm......!!!"
Billikin didn't expect that Chen Mu, who had always been quite gentle, would suddenly give himself a punch, his feet were unstable, and he fell directly to the ground after being beaten by this punch, only to feel his head buzzing, and the severe pain made him almost vomit.
"Sue me." Retracting his fist, Chen Mu couldn't see any expression on his face, and said coldly: "I didn't beat this punch, Andre and Kyle will be your witnesses." ”
"Hmm...... You......! ”
Billikin was angry and annoyed, his eyes glared at Chen Mu, and finally at Iguodala and Korver standing on the left and right.
"Ah, Kyle, you see, that kid over there is so cute!" Iguodala had a "I didn't see anything" expression and pointed at the non-existent child on the street corner.
"Uh-huh, really." Korver had a black line on his face, completely unaware that he would be involved in such a thing, so he could only look into the distance with Iguodala's movements, nodding his head incessantly.
"Kids? Where, where?? "Carney...... Maybe I really thought there was a very cute child worth seeing......
"You little ghosts ......!"
Billy's golden head was about to explode, and when he turned around to look at Chen Mu, he had already turned around and walked out of the house.
"Ahhh
Goodbye, Billykin, maybe we'll meet again in the future.
You are not someone who will be defeated so easily, maybe in a few years, maybe in a few months, with your ability, you will definitely find a new owner. I hope that in the new club, you can play your strengths, build your favorite team according to your preferences, hire your favorite coach, and find an ace who is willing to listen to you to fight for you.
And I'm going to crush your team on the pitch.
Because then I won't have a mercy ......!
Chen Mu thought so in his heart, and his fists clenched even tighter.
Just as the four of them were about to walk into the street, they seemed to hear a desperate cry coming from inside the house. (To be continued......)
