Chapter 3 Preparations Before Taking Over



Chapter 3 Preparations Before Taking Over
Inside Bruce Young's villa.

Chris Cole looked at him helplessly, curled his lips, and said, "I admit that you are finally serious. But, you are really a prankster!" After speaking, he stood up, turned and walked towards the door go!

Bruce looked at his actions in surprise, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart, until the other party was about to open the door, and hurriedly chased after him in a panic.

Hearing the slightly messy footsteps behind him, Chris showed a smug smile on his face, turned around and looked at Bruce behind him who almost collided with him, and smiled with satisfaction: "This is the little brother I know well! "

"Okay! I'm really a little afraid that you'll just walk away like this!" Bruce scratched his head in embarrassment, which seemed like a gesture that a child who had just turned up could do.

"Based on the extraordinary relationship between our two families, will your godfather and I not agree to your request?" Chris patted him gently on the shoulder, the warmth exuded from his body, even Bruce, who was in his previous life, could not agree to your request? Some guys with thick lines feel it.

"Thank you, brother!" Bruce's eyes turned red, resisting the rising mist, and hugged him vigorously, as if the spirit of this body was still there, and this moment deeply affected him.

But what is it?He really likes the feeling of being surrounded by family affection!
"Okay, Bruce!" Chris patted him on the back, gently pushed the child away, smiled brightly, and said, "I just have to find your "irresponsible" godfather Just talk, don't worry!"

After a while, Bruce happily closed the car door for Chris, until the other party "roared" away, then turned around and walked into the villa with some emotion!

"YES!" Bruce, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waved his hands excitedly. He was so grateful for Chris's promise!

"Hurry up and think about what good candidates there are in the 98th class!" Bruce leaned back on the sofa, muttering to himself, trying to recall the events of the 98th NBA draft in his previous life!

Among the rookies in 1998, there were many parallel importers and great stars who will be famous for later generations.

The brain-damaged Clippers chose the big man who was boasted by the media as "Little Big Dream" and "Little Duncan" with the first pick. He only received formal basketball training in college, Michael Olowokandi.

Behind him, there are Mike Bibby, who is affectionately called the "White Devil" by the fans, and Antawn Jamison, the all-around fourth pick, not to mention only one position behind, with the "half man, half god" Known as Vince Carter.

And the more gut-wrenching draft, could it be that Dirk Nowitzki's Bucks were selected with the ninth overall pick.

Nowitzki, who won the MVP and a championship in later generations, was forced by the Mavericks in the draft that year. The thousand-win coach Don Nelson, who has the reputation of "mad scientist", used the "tractor" Robert Traylor, which the Bucks desperately needed. Get the "German tank" to the Mavericks.

Excluding these top superstars in the 98 class, there is the seventh pick, the gorgeous Jason Williams, the eighth pick Larry Hughes, who has been brilliant for a while, the tenth superstar, Boston's future ten The leader Paul Pierce for several years, the "muscle stick" Bonzi Wells, the low-ranking Al Harrington, not to mention the second round and the "Mr. Billionaire" who was scooped by the Rockets in his previous life "Rashard Lewis.

The entire 98th session sent many All-Star players to the NBA, and even produced many first-class stars who are familiar to many fans in the future.

Thinking of these drafts, Bruce's eyes were full of excitement. After a while, his face suddenly turned weird: "Sprewell? That guy...uh...he's really a different kind!"

Before getting the Warriors, Bruce began to think about the situation of the players in the team.

The "choke incident" is one of the most serious incidents of players attacking coaches in NBA history, and it was Mr. Sprewell who did it.

On December 1997, 12, Sprewell walked into the team's training ground.It can be seen that he was not in a good mood at the time. Three days ago, he was fined by the team for not catching up with the team's special flight to Salt Lake City for an away game and being late for practice.However, Carlesimo, who was the team's head coach at the time, kept using this incident to scold him, which was simply adding fuel to the fire. This naturally laid the fuse for the conflict between the two.

One thing happened when the Warriors played against the Lakers.

At that time, the Warriors were behind by a large score. When the coaches used the timeout to arrange tactics, Sprewell talked and laughed with his teammates, as if he didn't care.

Of course, Carlesimo was very angry, scolded him severely, and canceled his chance to play for the rest of the time.

Seeing that the coach has high demands on him, Sprewell hinted to the coach in various ways, "Don't go too far, don't make me feel that you are deliberately making trouble for me."

But Carlesimo also had a temper, and he ignored Sprewell's almost threatening hints.The two sides secretly fought to a certain extent, and the conflict officially broke out.

That day, for some unknown reason, Carlesimo yelled at Sprewell on the sidelines.A soldier can be killed but not humiliated!Sprewell's patience had obviously reached its limit. He put down the basketball in his hand, ran towards the sidelines, and grabbed Carlesimo's neck, desperately!After 15 seconds, the teammates pulled away the out-of-control Sprewell.

Carlesimo could barely breathe, he never expected things to turn out like this.After talking about it, the angry Sprewell left the training ground, leaving Carlesimo still in shock.

Unexpectedly, 20 minutes later, Sprewell ran into the training ground again and punched Carlesimo several times...

Since then, the NBA headquarters immediately issued a ticket: in view of Sprewell's behavior in beating the coach is very bad, he will be suspended from participating in the remaining games of the season, and he will not be paid.

And what made this guy sink to the bottom of the ditch was that the sneaker manufacturer that signed him resolutely terminated the contract with him, making him lose everything he lost that season! !

"This shit is really a headache!" If Bruce took over the Warriors, the treatment of Sprewell would be inevitable. Even if it wasn't his single behavior, he would be labeled a bad boy by the whole of America after all.

"Damn! This is a bit difficult!" Bruce covered his face in depression, and there was really nothing to do with this matter for a while.

Bruce was sitting on the sofa in a daze in an extremely depressed state, when a familiar bell rang suddenly.

Although he knew who made the call, the anxiety in his heart could not be suppressed. Bruce took a few deep breaths, picked up the receiver and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible: "Hello! This is Bruce Young!"

"Hey! Dude, how have you learned the noble thing of being polite?" Chris' exaggerated words reached his ears.

This sentence seemed to have a little magical power, and the originally nervous mood calmed down. The corners of Bruce's mouth twitched, hesitating for a moment, and said: "Things...how is it going?"

"Child! You are still playful as always!" A kind male voice suddenly entered Bruce's ears. Hearing this familiar and unforgettable voice, Bruce subconsciously revealed a trace of warmth, and said in a respectful tone: "godfather!"

"Hehe! You're still so likable!" Chris Kent's face flashed a trace of intense sadness, his eyes slightly misted, he took a deep breath, made a cross on his chest with his right hand, and said : "Child! If your father and mother see what you are going to do now, they will definitely bless you in heaven!"

"Thank you, godfather!!" Bruce suddenly felt his nose a little sore, and the circles of his eyes turned red, he cursed himself "emotionally fragile", and said in a trembling voice: "I think he (she) will definitely Bless me, silly boy!"

"I will!" After all, he is an old fritter who has been in the political arena for many years. Even though Chris Kent really regards Bruce as his own son in his heart, now is not the time for him to sigh: "Little guy, that disgusting boy!" Guy must have seen some "little gift" that he didn't want to see!"

"Thank you! Thank you for everything you have done for me!" Bruce became excited instantly after hearing this, and after sincere thanks, the two chatted about some trivial matters in life one after another.

During the period, Kent only inadvertently asked some of his thoughts, and after hearing the little appreciation in Kent's tone at the end, Bruce said goodbye to Kent respectfully.

"Dude! I have to say, you are the boss of our family!" Chris Cole, who had been waiting for a long time, took his father's receiver and sighed with jealousy.

Hearing that there were mostly jokes in the words, Bruce smiled gratefully, and jokingly said: "Do you mind a family member?"

"Okay! Okay!" Cole muttered a few words as if surrendering, then his tone changed, and he said seriously: "You don't mind if we go to see that idiot tomorrow morning?"

"I can't wait!" Yang yelled twice in excitement, and the two had another meeting and joked before hanging up the phone!

The understanding of his previous life made Yang feel a deep anger towards Chris Cohan. Since he bought the Warriors for $95 million in 1, he has not let the team taste even once in the following ten years. The taste of the playoffs.

Chaotic management, as a boss, but to interfere with the affairs of the entire team, what do you want those professionals to do?Do you eat free food?

Although the famous labor negotiations after this year's draft are about to begin, Yang still has his own way to deal with it!

Players dislike the fact that the contract is too short, but the employer is unwilling to provide such a huge contract. Although these players can be signed, the medical team of each team cannot guarantee that they will always maintain their competitive ability in the next six or seven years!

"What the hell! Why don't the capable guys give them enough money?" Yang showed a weird smile, looking up at the luxuriously decorated roof of the villa with confidence.
