Chapter 1033 Cheers to the past

Relying on the strong performance of the second team, the Clippers once again defeated the Trail Blazers away and captured the Rose Garden Arena.

Because they were going to continue the away game, the Clippers team quickly left the arena and came to the airport to leave Portland.

But it seems that God doesn't want the Clippers to leave the "Tear City" so soon.

The sudden heavy snowstorm kept the airport closed.

So the Clippers and their team could only wait in the terminal.

However, it is precisely because of the overlapping of these coincidental factors that Lan Shengli met an "old acquaintance", and it was also a very special "old acquaintance".

"Vi~, Viktoria Blue~?!?!"

"Huh~??"

"Wu~~, Wood~?!"

That's right, what Lan Shengli met was his colleague at Berkeley, who "sold out" his "blond-haired and blue-eyed" man--Wood.

"Didn't expect to meet you again in this life~"

Wood looked at Lan Shengli and said with a guilty expression.

"Hi~~, it's been so many years, don't say it~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"If Coach Blue doesn't mind, let's~ let's have a cup of coffee~?!"

Wood said.

"Okay~, I have nothing to do anyway, it's fate to meet here~"

Lan Shengli listened, and immediately nodded in agreement.

The two soon came to the coffee shop in the terminal building.

"Why are you here~?!"

After sitting down, Lan Shengli asked immediately.

"Ah, I came to Portland to attend an academic conference. I was planning to go back to Berkeley tomorrow, but I heard that there will be a big blizzard tomorrow, so I left early, but I didn't expect that the big blizzard would also be early, haha~"

Wood responded.

Lan Shengli listened, took a sip of coffee, and nodded.

"I didn't expect~, you really became the head coach of the NBA, I really admire you~!"

Wood said.

"From a college teacher to an NBA head coach, what an exaggerated transformation~!!, but you have completed it, amazing~!"

Wood continued to praise.

"Haha~, to be able to have today, I really have to thank you for your "assist"~, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli said with a smile.

When Wood heard this, he immediately lowered his head and shook his head again.

"Actually, for the past two years, I have been wanting to find an opportunity to have a good chat with you~, or to apologize to you, but I don't have the courage~!!"

As Wood said, he lowered his head again, looking extremely guilty.

"Actually, you don't need to apologize. Many things are predestined. Since I chose to do that at the time, I will definitely leave sooner or later~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"And even if you didn't report me at the time, someone would do that sooner or later. It was because of your report that I was more determined to leave Berkeley, because at the time I felt that was not the life I wanted~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

Perhaps Lan Shengli's words can relieve Wood's "guilt".

"Come on, let's drink to the past, whether it's good or bad, let him go~!!"

As Lan Shengli spoke, he raised his coffee cup.

The two clinked glasses and drank.

The last time the two met was in the park outside the Berkeley campus, the angry Lan Shengli almost hit Wood.

However, now that the two of them can raise their glasses and talk freely, it can only be said that time is a good medicine that can heal everything.

"How does it feel to be an NBA head coach~?! Living under the camera every day, the pressure is quite high~?!"

Wood gradually asked in a relaxed state.

"Yeah~, I was really uncomfortable at first, but it got better gradually, after all, as an NBA head coach, I am really too busy, sometimes when I get busy, I can't take care of other things at all~!! "

Lan Shengli responded.

"It's true, but sometimes watching the Clippers game and seeing you coaching on the sidelines is really amazing. The way you coach the game in a suit is somewhat similar to your way in class~ "

Wood said.

"It's all about guiding others, so there won't be much difference~, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli responded with a smile.

"But~, but I heard that there seems to be something wrong with whist~?!"

Wood asked again.

"Yeah~, I met a "scumbag" who took drugs and has been sent back to BJ for detoxification~ I went to visit her before, and her mental outlook is pretty good. I hope she can start a new chapter in her life~"

Lan Shengli said.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in whist, it's really weird~"

Wood listened, shaking his head and sighing.

"Let's not talk about those sad things, let's talk about you~, what position have you been promoted to now~?!, the colleagues in the department are all very good~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Well, there are still those people and those positions, basically there is no change. This may be the difference from your work as a head coach~ Your work is full of challenges every day, and they are different challenges. As for me, although there will be challenges, but generally speaking, my life is pretty stable~!!"

Wood said.

"At first I thought that after I got your position, I might have a very happy life, but in fact it was not the case, especially when I heard that you didn't find a job and had a miserable time, I blamed myself even more~! !"

Wood said.

"Slowly, I discovered that many things are either stolen from others or owned by me. Other people's things will always belong to others, not my own~!! If you want to get what belongs to you, you must create it with your own hands , Only then will there be a sense of happiness and satisfaction~!!"

Wood said.

"Crack clap clap!!!"

"It's really three days away from Shibai, you should look at it with admiration~, haha~!!, I'm really happy for you if you can have such awareness~!"

When Lan Shengli heard about it, he immediately clapped his hands and encouraged him.

"In the end, people still have to find a way of life that suits them better~"

Lan Shengli continued to respond.

"Yes~, everyone has the right to choose what kind of life to live~"

Wood said.

"Hey, now, we've known each other for almost 8 years~!"

Wood shook his coffee cup and sighed.

"Yeah~, it's almost there~, time really flies by too fast~"

Lan Shengli said.

"I hope you can come back to Berkeley again in the future, no matter whether you are a graduate or a former teacher, I welcome you back~!!, I believe that with your current achievements, Berkeley will still be proud of you ~!!"

Wood said.
