The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 1527 dinner with madmen
All that remains is Noise, Text Volume, Chapter 1527, Dinner with a Madman, and Pat Riley leads a reclusive life.
Since leaving professional basketball, his life has been changed.
There are still people who are willing to hire him as a coach and GM, but he can no longer find the motivation to continue, he just wants to stay away from basketball. He tried to find new interests and hobbies, but no matter what he did, deep down he struggled with a sense of failure. Despite his best efforts, it seems like everything he does is wrong.
Fortunately, he had a good wife, and every man who has survived such a tragic failure has a good wife.
His wife's comfort made Riley try to ignore the setbacks in his heart and move on, but as time went by, a sense of frustration began to weigh heavily on him. He began to feel like he was failing in every area of his life, from his career to his relationships. The painful sensations continued to mount beyond his control, and slowly but surely, he began to lose his grip on reality.
The man who once had it all now seems to be nothing but an empty shell, consumed by the fear of failure, unable to escape its grip. He let his insecurities and lack of self-worth lead him down a dangerous path, and now he's caught in his own madness.
Louie wants to visit Riley, but is turned down.
According to Riley's wife, now Riley can't see anyone, especially him.
Riley's wife said, "Forgive me, Coach Lou, I don't know what Pat would do if he saw you. Louie smelled a sense of crisis in her words.
It made him wonder even more what had become of Riley.
When Louis called for the third time, the other party answered, and then hung up the phone harshly. That kind of intensity is like someone grabbing Louis' ear and shouting:
Louie didn't call again, he was a decent guy and stalking was not his style. Everyone has a cell phone in this day and age, and so does Riley, unless he's really crazy.
Through connections, Louie got Riley's cell phone number. Louis hit directly.
After a while, the other end of the phone answered.
There was silence on the other side.
Louis didn't want to use such words as an opening remark, because he and Riley had no friendship, so they could only play riddles.
Just when Louis thought that the other party was not listening, Riley said abruptly: Louis was pleasantly surprised:
For some reason, these words made Louis shudder.
Although Louie had contact with Riley many times in the past, there were intervals. There was no way Riley was familiar with Louie's voice through previous contacts.
But Riley said that he had heard Louis' voice countless times?
Judging from the conversation on the phone, Riley wasn't crazy.
But for the sake of safety, Louis temporarily spent a lot of money to find someone who had served as the president's bodyguard to protect himself. Before Riley arrived, Louie had been questioning the bodyguard about his resume.
Because judging from the appearance of the other party, this guy is very likely to have served as a bodyguard for Melaleuca, otherwise he couldn't imagine that someone who had served as a bodyguard for the president would be reduced to a temporary bodyguard.
Louis dissatisfied,
The old bodyguard said faithfully;
At seven o'clock, the restaurant bell rang a few times. Riley was on time.
To be honest, Riley is not at all the gentleman who led pop culture in the early 1980s and made Hollywood stars compete to imitate him.
No big back, no Armani suits, this person who has been cool for most of his life, now just comes here in casual clothes and messy hair for dinner.
If the two of them hadn't sat down and observed each other carefully ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and let Louis pass Riley on the street, he would never have recognized this slovenly old man as Riley.
After that, the two sides were silent for a while.
This is what happens when two people who don't know each other sit down and eat together.
Louis said,
Hearing this, Riley smiled coldly,
The truth is ugly.
But if Pat Riley wasn't the toughest guy Louie had ever seen, how could he survive a 12-game losing streak in the Finals?
Riley took a sip of red wine,
Louie saw madness and anger in Riley's eyes.
He was starting to feel uneasy, and it really wasn't like a normal person.
What makes him uneasy is that it is himself who makes Riley deeply unhappy, denounces the injustice of fate, and criticizes the cruelty of God.
Louis sent a long-edited text message to the presidential temporary bodyguard sitting not far away,
The presidential bodyguard received a text message from his employer, which read:
The old bodyguard replied the text message helplessly, he really didn't know what happened to the rich people nowadays, he insisted on asking the other party out for dinner even though he knew it was dangerous, and he didn't feel at ease about himself at all after spending a lot of money to hire a bodyguard.
The old bodyguard had observed Riley, and he felt that this person had no ability to threaten the life and safety of his employer. Unless he had a gun hidden in his trouser pocket, the employer was absolutely safe.
Judging from the way Riley entered the restaurant, he didn't have a gun in his trouser pocket, so the old bodyguard felt at ease, but he had to keep an eye on Riley out of professional security.
