Chapter 100 Damon Jones
In the summer of 99, a group of high-quality players with great potential in the 96 class signed fat contracts with their home teams!
Bruce came to the Oakland Arena with a blank expression. Although Chamberlain had been gone for some time, what he brought to Bruce was not only encouragement, but also expectations for him!

He raised his head and subconsciously glanced at the huge Warriors team logo outside the arena. Bruce's slightly numb and dazed eyes suddenly affirmed, and his eyes finally regained some of their former expressions!

"Wilter, I wish you continue to be your "Zhang [-]" in heaven!" Bruce stared at the team logo closely, and said with a very firm face!

Back in the office, Bruce hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened the drawer, took out the file and put it in again!

With "American Pie" making huge waves in Hollywood, Bruce's Miracle Entertainment has once again become the focus of attention across the United States, and even some other giant companies have also brought this short-established company into their field of vision!
"Bruce, I think what you have to do now is cheer up!" Cole looked at the calm Bruce with a serious expression. The sadness shown after the news of the passing away!
"Cole, I'm much better!" Bruce, who hadn't smiled for a long time, looked at his worried friend with a smile, paused, and interrupted what Cole was about to say, then said seriously: " "How is the filming progress now?"

Cole looked at Bruce helplessly. Although he was still worried about Bruce's calmness, he had returned to normal after all: "The progress is not bad, but Peter is almost exhausted now!"

Speaking of this, Cole couldn't help laughing when he thought of Jackson's distressed appearance!
"Aha, this is exactly what he needs!" Even though he didn't visit the set again, Bruce could still imagine what this big director who made three films together looked like!
After chatting with Cole for a while, Bruce and Cole were once again surprised by the results of "American Pie", and then returned to their base camp!

In October, as players returned to the team one after another, in addition to gathering players for training, each team also started trial training and searching for some free agents and non-draft players!

Bruce smiled and looked at the players who had returned to the team one after another in the training hall. He was very satisfied with the training of these guys this summer. Nowitzki's return brought a great surprise to Bruce!

"Dirk!!" Seeing Dirk Nowitzki who threw hollow shots into the net from time to time, Bruce's face was full of joy!

"Hi! Boss!" Nowitzki wiped the sweat off his face, heard Bruce's call, and walked over with a smile on his face!

Bruce looked with satisfaction at Nowitzki, who had gained a lot of muscle. Although he still looked a little thinner, compared to last season, he was just relieved by his size and shooting touch!
"Dirk, it seems that your training results this summer are good!" Bruce patted Nowitzki on the shoulder with joy on his face. He was very satisfied with his soft touch and physical fitness, and he was also full of enthusiasm for this season Looking forward to it!

"Hey! I'm going to explode this season!" Nowitzki laughed twice, very proud of Bruce's praise.

Since joining the Warriors last season, although he is quite satisfied with his performance, the problem of physical weakness has always been Nowitzki's shortcoming.

Through the summer training with my coach and professional strength trainer, compared with last season, my muscles and body weight have made great progress.

With the increase in weight and the spread of muscles, Nowitzki deliberately corrected the problem of shooting posture and the high-intensity confrontation in the NBA. Not only did he change his shooting action, but also through the guidance of the coach, he deliberately raised the shooting point further. Some!
"If it's as you said, I don't mind rewarding you!" Bruce looked at Nowitzki with a smile. Although he had seen his shooting posture and excellent touch just now, after hearing Nowitzki's words, This can't help but make Bruce look forward to it!

Looking at Nowitzki who turned around and continued training, the smile in Bruce's eyes gradually became stronger: "This... is the prototype of "Golden Rooster Independence"!!"

"Bang!!"

Just as Bruce was looking at Nowitzki with deep meaning, Carter on the other side of the training hall suddenly used a super "windmill" dunk to divert his attention!
Seeing Carter tugging at the basket excitedly, the smile and excitement on Bruce's face became more and more intense!
Following Carter's dunk, the players seemed a little unconvinced. I don't know if this dunk seduced these energetic guys!

Driven by the disobedient Dell Curry, the entire routine training suddenly turned into a slam dunk contest within the Warriors team!
"Boss, are you interested in being our referee!" Curry looked at Bruce with some excitement. After a summer of training and recovery from injuries, Curry now feels as if he has returned to the comfort and peace of his youth. High spirits!
"Of course, I won't favor any of you!" Bruce walked towards the players with an expression of interest, and deliberately glanced at the team's dunkers!
"Aha! Guys, let me detonate the game for everyone!" Receiving Bruce's promise, as if he really wanted to show his achievements this summer, Curry was the first to start the prelude to the slam dunk contest !
Bruce looked expectantly at Curry, who was standing two steps away from the three-point line. Even though this guy is not young now, Bruce has not forgotten the fact that this guy was a dunker when he was young!

Curry patted the basketball lightly with his right hand, and glanced provocatively at his teammates with interested faces one by one.

When he saw Carter's pretended disapproval expression, he suddenly smiled, and as his right leg stepped out quickly, his whole body was like an arrow off the string, and quickly ran towards the basket!
Curry quickly ran to the free throw line, because he had already warmed up before. The moment his whole body entered the free throw line, he stepped on the floor with his right foot, held the basketball high with his right hand, and fixed his eyes on the distant goal. The basket, along with the body gradually vacated to the highest point, and then at the moment when it was about to fall, the right hand quickly made a big looping action.

After the sound of "Boom!", an elegant and powerful slam dunk was completed!
"Oh, Dell, if anyone tells you that you are in your 30s, they will be shocked by your dunk!" Starks, who likes to boo, yelled loudly after Curry completed the dunk, and his hands were even stronger. Slap hard and sizzle for this dunk!
"pretty!!"

"So exciting!"

As the teammates cheered Curry one after another, this dunk completely opened up the atmosphere of the team's game!

Carter's 360-degree turn and slam dunk, Starks slam dunk with both hands unwillingly, even Dampier, who is floor-flowing, after completing a powerful two-handed slam dunk, the entire training hall suddenly sounded The sound of bombarding the rim and cheering!
Seeing the players put all their strength into it, the smile on Bruce's face became more and more intense!

When Carter finally won the game with the approval of most of his teammates, Bruce, the referee, said with a smile: "Since you are in such a good state, I wouldn't mind serving you a delicious meal." lunch!"

Hearing Bruce's words, the players all expressed their excitement. Although a lunch would not cost many dollars, this kind of unity and atmosphere still brought great joy to these big guys!

After Bruce and the players enjoyed lunch, the players took a short break and started preparing for the game again!

Watching the players training individually, Bruce nodded slightly, and then returned to the office!

"Dong dong dong!~"

Bruce, who had just sat down and was enjoying the delicious coffee, suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then pushed the coffee aside, saying: "Please come in!"

Damon Jones followed behind the Warriors' Basketball Affairs Department staff with some trepidation. Although he was somewhat confident in his ability, his situation was indeed a bit embarrassing!
Bruce looked at the two suspiciously. When he saw the black man following behind the staff, he couldn't help showing doubts and memories on his face!

"Sir, the gentleman behind me is the player I mentioned to you two days ago!"

Hearing the other party's explanation, Bruce couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on his face. After taking another serious look, he said slowly, "Okay, I got it!"

As the staff left, Damon Jones calmed down, looked at Bruce with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Bruce, hello, I'm Damon Jones!"

"Who?" Bruce looked at the other party in surprise. Although a familiar figure flashed in his mind when he saw it for the first time, he couldn't help being surprised when he suddenly heard the other party's introduction!
After graduating from college, Damon Jones announced his participation in the draft in 97. When he was waiting for a team's call with great anticipation, when the last team in the second round did not call his name, he. .Lost!

With the passage of time, after Damon Jones kept a low profile and worked hard to improve his abilities, he was finally signed into the team by the Nets with a minimum salary in the shrinking season last year!
However, Damon Jones, who originally thought he would play for the Nets for at least a year, was traded to the Celtics by the Nets in a trade!

With the end of the season, I don't know if it was because of his own defense, basically no team pursued him!

"Hello, Damon!" Bruce looked at Jones with interest. His understanding of this guy was still the impression he had when he was in the Cavaliers in his previous life!

"Mr. Bruce, I know the Warriors' tactical system very well, and my shooting will definitely make due contributions to your team!" After a short period of calming down, Jones' original anxiety has long been put down, and he, who is naturally optimistic, is extremely confident. Said!

"Oh?" Bruce looked at the confident Jones with some surprise. Although the opponent's shooting is still showing his talents, compared to the guy in the previous life who was good at three-point shooting, he was more successful after the data analysis given to him by the staff. However, it did not reach the sharpness of the previous life!
"You have strong inside players, but you lack pitchers on the outside, and I'm exactly what you need!" Without waiting for Bruce to ask, Jones continued to work as a "lobbyist" he was not familiar with, trying to sell himself !

Looking at Jones, who had regained his composure a little bit in front of him, Bruce's eyes could not help flickering, and he hesitated for a while. Although the opponent's current skill is indeed only average, his potential and relatively cheap contract also attracted Bruce a little: "If You did not meet the requirements of the team, then I will tell you the difficult decision of being fired with great regret!"

"So???" Jones looked at Bruce, who was smiling but slightly serious, in surprise. Although his understanding of Bruce was limited to "rumors", he got a contract in this way. To his unbelievable surprise!

"That's right! Welcome to the Warriors!" Bruce looked at the funny Jones with a smile, stood up slowly, and walked towards him with a smile!
