"If I could, I would never even give you the degree, Blake Dolan." Shirley Tillman signed her name on the degree certificate, but did not hand it to Blake Dolan opposite, but looked at it. said to him.
Black Dolan smiled and remained silent.
"You really don't think about it anymore? Erwin Turner told me that the reason why I want to retain you no matter what is because the contract offered to you by the athletic department is not big enough? In fact, as one of the richest universities in the United States, We can give you a bigger number than those NCAA giants. In fact, I have thought about it privately. The biggest number I can give you is 16 million over four years, which is better than what Duke University gave their coach Mike Krzyzewski. There are two million more, if you are willing." Principal Shirley Tillman said, looking at the young head coach opposite.
"It's not because of money. For me, coaching the Princeton Tigers is just one of campus life. I'm very grateful for your retention, but it's time to say goodbye, President Tillman." Blake Dolan said.
"Well, no matter what, thank you for everything you have brought to the Princeton Tigers this season. Whether it is your professional knowledge or your hobbies, you can proudly walk out of Princeton University. Your studies are over. Congratulations, Blake Dolan." Shirley Tillman stood up and handed him the degree certificate in her hand.
…
"We received news that you are not going to the basketball gym to say goodbye to us."
Blake Dolan turned towards the parking lot, intending to leave with Sheldon Cooper, when there was a sudden sound from the side of the parking lot.
Blake Dolan turned around. Opposite him, the members of the basketball team were standing there, looking at him. The words just now were spoken by captain Casey Beamont.
Black Dolan was silent for a moment and raised the certificate in his hand:
"I planned to leave quietly. Coach Erwin Turner will come back in a few days to continue coaching you. I hate leaving, but I always have to experience this."
"Stay! Black! You are the best coach! The Princeton Tigers can show their fangs only under your leadership!" Bill Hunter shouted.
"Even if I don't leave, you will leave. Soon, Casey will graduate, he is already a senior, and then Larry and Brian, their juniors, that's it, everyone will leave, no one can keep them, We have had wonderful memories together, and that is enough. Also, the Princeton Tigers will not decline just because someone leaves. When someone leaves, someone will come, and the spirit of the Princeton Tigers will last forever." Blake Dolan always maintained. Smile and look at the person opposite.
"You turned down that big contract, right? I know how big that contract was, and I know you turned it down because you didn't want to treat me to snacks." Schneiderbook said, standing among the players, looking at Blake Dolan.
"Yeah, I'm scared of your appetite, Schneider, you're a great shooting coach, go ahead, take this group of boys, go ahead, and, if you want that big contract, I'll give you my season's The tactical notes are all written on the computer in the office, study it carefully, maybe the contract will be closer to you." Black Dolan lit a cigarette and said.
"You're leaving? You brought us to the coaching staff, and now you're leaving? Don't you ever care about other people's feelings?!" Daville Hawk's voice sounded, this strong tomboy's voice was sharp and low.
"Davill, come here!" Black Dolan hooked his fingers towards Darvill Hawk: "Come here, and I can consider staying."
"Really?" Darvill Hawk asked hesitantly, then immediately walked over with small steps, stood opposite Black Dolan and asked:...
"You decide to stay?"
Black Dolan blew out a smoke ring: "I lied to you, you are an excellent trainer, Darvill."
Darvill Hawk's face flashed with shame and anger, he turned and walked towards the players, and Blake Dolan's right hand hit him accurately on the butt!
"Hello! Ass! This is the last greeting! Also, you are not someone else. I said, we are in the same group, we are good friends." Black Dolan said with a smile.
Seeing Davill Hawke running back among the players in embarrassment, Blake Dolan shook his hand:
"That's it! Everyone! Goodbye! Maybe we won't meet, maybe we will meet tomorrow, good luck."
After speaking, Blake Dolan walked towards his Ford Mercury and said to Sheldon Cooper sitting in the passenger seat:
"Are you sure you don't want to say goodbye to them?"
Sheldon Cooper stared at the computer and said without raising his head: "I'm afraid I'll cry. That was the case when I retired, and it's still the case now."
"Okay, let's go." Blake opened the car door and said.
Just then, there was a burst of rapid footsteps! Scott Weidman ran over!
Blake Dolan smiled, got out of the car again, and said to Scott Weidman, who was breathing heavily:
"I thought you wanted to count the numbers on the account and didn't have time to send me off. Thank you, Scott!"
Scott Weidman tried hard to adjust his breathing before saying to Blake Dolan:
"Sending you off is just one of the reasons why I came here. There is another thing you must have forgotten. G-star has been waiting for you to shoot a commercial for a long time! This is your obligation, boy! This is your last for the Princeton Tigers.
contribute!"
As he said that, he handed a business card in his hand to Black Dolan: "The phone number, the address is New York, and the time is tomorrow."
Blake Dolan took the business card, looked at Scott Weidman, and said with a smile:
"Scott, why do I want to punch you, this old guy, on the head every time I see you? You are like a complete old dragon, hiding in your secret room and counting gold coins all day long."
Scott Weidman stared at Blake Dolan with a straight face, and suddenly laughed:
"Every story is like this. There is a rigid, annoying old man who makes the protagonists angry. Don't blame him, because he never wants to take advantage of the treasures. He just wants to build the homes of the protagonists better.
Well, it was a pleasure to meet you in my office on an afternoon at the beginning of the season, Blake. You are a great young man! But, boy, I will never forget that incident when you roared loudly in my office!"
"Okay! I will go to fulfill my last obligation tomorrow. Goodbye, Scott, good-bye, everyone!"
Black Dolan got into the driver's seat, started the car, and slowly drove out of the parking lot, never looking at the group of people again.
"I can't believe Blake just left like this!" Reuben Brooks said to Davell Hawke beside him.
"Yeah, this guy is like a cold-blooded ranger who saved everything but didn't want to stop." Davel Hawk said while slapping his butt hard.
"I think we will see him again, soon." Louis Huang said softly, looking at the direction where the car disappeared.
