Chapter 6 NBA Headquarters
A week, just a short week, Bruce and the two followed the haggard Cohan to complete 99% of the procedures.

And now the two are sitting excitedly on the flight to New York.

"Man, what a fantastic result!" Chris's eyes flashed with excitement, he closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath, the intoxication on his face was so fascinating.

"Mr. Chris, are you ready to fulfill this great dream with your solid partner?" On Bruce's seemingly calm face, only the intense excitement and excitement in his eyes showed that he was no better than Chris. How much better, besides, this is a huge deal that he didn't even dare to think about in his previous life!
"Oh! Let's create this wonderful era together!" Chris jumped up excitedly and shook his fist vigorously.

Bruce watched with joy on his face. At this moment, he felt an elusive feeling in his heart, excitement?Unbelievable? For a while, I no longer felt the feeling of being useless in my previous life.

"This team belongs to me! Isn't it?" Closing his eyes, Bruce took a deep breath, and when he exhaled it, at this moment, he. .It's Bruce Young, let that damn guy in the previous life die!
"Sir, please be quiet!"

The two of them, Bruce, were excited about the "big deal" they had made, when suddenly a pleasant female voice called the two of them back, who looked a little excited!
"Uh, I'm sorry!" Chris stopped his movements, and after seeing the staff in stewardess uniform beside him, he carefully looked at the passengers with strange eyes around him, spread his arms, shrugged, and said two words After saying sorry, she sat down gracefully.

The stewardess saw that the two had regained their composure, a smile flashed in her eyes, she nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards her seat!
"Bruce, why are these flight attendants not as beautiful as those women in the movie?" Chris looked at the flight attendant's somewhat ordinary figure with his eyes, and turned his head in disappointment.

"Kerry, you have to know why the movie is looking for those beautiful beauties!" Bruce said his opinion casually, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he was about to think about it, but he was overwhelmed by some exaggerated people around him. Chris interrupted relentlessly.

"They are seriously deceiving! If every airline can hire beautiful ladies like in the movies, why would they need to do promotions!" Although Chris understands the truth, his purpose is only for this The boring travel is not too monotonous.

"Okay! I will definitely support you to report them!" Bruce rubbed his swollen head helplessly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes when he failed to find inspiration. He picked up the information placed in front of him, and carefully read it stand up!
"Bruce, you've changed!"

Bruce, who was looking through this year's draft situation and rookie players' information, suddenly heard Chris' serious voice beside him, a flash of panic flashed in his heart, and subconsciously said: "How could I change? Didn't I still lock you up in the reserve when I was a child?" In the room, don't you think of your intimate partner until dinner?"

"Oh, my God, I still remember that Uncle beat you hard!" Chris's face was full of memories and amused, and when he noticed the sadness in Bruce's eyes, his heart suddenly became heavy.

There was a sudden silence, and the two of them just sat there silently, both intoxicated in sadness at this moment.

"Gentlemen and ladies! Thank you for taking XXX flight with XXX company, and I wish you a pleasant journey!"

A brief reminder broke the silence between the two.

"I'm sorry! I just... just wanted to..." Chris looked at Bruce, who had regained his composure, and didn't say anything when the words came to his lips.

"Kerry, I know, it's nothing, everything will be fine!!" Bruce stared into his eyes tightly, and the smile on his face also shattered the previous sadness.

certainly!If Chris knew that the person next to him was not his "brother" who had a good relationship with him, would he sigh at the other party's superb acting skills.

"I'm sorry, buddy!" Bruce secretly prayed for "Bruce" who had gone to find his parents, sighed secretly, collected himself, and packed his things under the call of the stewardess!
The NBA was established on June 1946, 6, and its headquarters is located in the "Olympic Tower" building at 6 Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The two of Bruce are now riding in a New York City-specific Ford sedan "Crown Victoria", which can often be seen in Hollywood movies.

Chatting along the way, while Bruce watched the metropolis curiously from time to time, the taxi slowly stopped in the parking area of ​​the Olympic Tower Building.

Chris randomly pulled out a dollar bill and handed it to the driver, then he and Bruce sorted out their things and got out of the car.

"Kerry, have you noticed the shape of the Empire State Building?" Bruce had only seen this famous building in "King Kong" in his previous life, but now that he saw the real thing, he couldn't help but have a funny metaphor in his heart.

"Isn't it just a famous building?" Chris glanced back subconsciously. Among the many buildings, the big guy on the 102nd floor stood there quietly.

"God, it's over 70 years old!" Bruce looked at the other party in feigned surprise, and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay! Tell me about its shape!" Shrugging indifferently, Chris glanced at the beautiful woman passing by the two of them, whistled, and clicked his tongue twice.

"Okay! I didn't say anything!" Bruce ignored his frivolous demeanor, adjusted his clothes, and walked towards the building with a huge NBA sign hanging not far away with a little nervousness in his heart!
Fifteen minutes later, Bruce stood nervously outside a conference room. Although Cohan came one step earlier, he was just a small assistant in his previous life!

"Man, how about my clothes?" Bruce asked the excited guy beside him in a low voice, and couldn't help muttering his thick lines in his heart.

"Okay! You've asked this question no less than a hundred times! It's really good!!" Chris patted his forehead and looked at him dumbfounded.

"Okay!" Bruce tried his best to calm down, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and knocked on the door of the room with the spirit of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"Please come in!"

As the door slowly opened, Bruce and the two nodded to the service staff who opened the door, glanced at the haggard "dictator" David Stern sitting on the main seat, and looked at his face in surprise. A dozen other people of different ages who appeared on the huge screen beside them nodded and walked in!
"Gentlemen! Let's welcome this young man who has just joined us!" Stern had a flash of surprise in his eyes. The successful guys made an invitation gesture and applauded first!
"MD, I finally see something alive!" Bruce was a little excited, and Chris sat on the seat following the guidance of the waiter. After the bosses and managers present applauded, they smiled and agreed with them. !

"It's a pity that Mr. Cohan left our big family!" Stern tapped on the table lightly, and seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, he cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Bruce, I would like to express my deep condolences to you first." Condolences."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes slightly for Stern, a Jew, with a pious expression, and prayed with words in his mouth, and made a cross on his chest with his right hand, with a taste of a pastor: "May the Lord bless you parents!"

"Thank you for your prayers!" Bruce nodded gratefully, and Chris beside him also showed a trace of sadness in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and fell silent!

"Young man, we already know what happened to you! Now, let's talk about your affairs first, shall we?" Donald Sterling, as one of the main players in this labor negotiation, was involved in today's "big event" Came to the NBA headquarters early.

Although he knew that the one who took over the Warriors was a little guy whose parents had died, but when he saw Bruce's appearance, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Hello, Mr. Donald!" Bruce couldn't help being ironic when he saw the person who spoke. This person was the famous Clippers owner in his previous life, a guy who was stingy and reluctant to sign big-name players!
"Oh? Young man, you know me!" Sterling suddenly showed great interest. He could get a stranger and meet him for the first time and he could say his name, and he had a sudden interest in Bruce. Just a little bit of kindness.

"You are a predator in the real estate industry, how could I not know about you?" Bruce looked at him with a smile, the sincerity on his face was that Stern couldn't see anything!
"Okay! Gentlemen! Now we need our Bruce to say something!" Stern interrupted the conversation between the two at the right time, knocked on the table, and looked at him shrewdly!
"Old fox! This is coming!" Bruce cursed secretly, looked at the reactions of the crowd, organized his own language, and said with a smile: "I think from the perspective of the gentlemen's social circle, some of my things or I know more or less." Then, he took out a stack of materials, handed them to the service staff behind him, and slowly started his speech!
"I started playing around in my mother's womb!" The simple opening remarks won the good-natured smiles of these bosses, Bruce nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Of course! Now I'm grown up! I want to Seriously play something!"

Pointing to the information that the service staff handed to everyone, he smiled kindly at everyone again, nodded, and said confidently: "I am a Chinese, and I live in Oakland now. The information on the information is my past few months. All done. Of course! My finances gentlemen sure don't get my exact figures!"

"Ha ha!"

A burst of laughter came from the mouths of the dozen or so bosses and the bosses of the huge display screen, and even Stern, who was usually rigorous, laughed out loud.

There was a hint of admiration in Chris's eyes, and he applauded lightly, sighing in his heart, "This guy has really grown up!"

"In order to get this team with a long history, I basically dealt with all my property. I don't think the league will refuse a fanatic fan to join!" Bruce deliberately showed a pitiful look. His appearance, that is, his age, was not ridiculed by these giants in the shopping malls. If any guy is so "cute", they don't mind laughing at him.

And from the faces of those bosses, we can also see some of their thoughts. Buying and selling the team itself is a normal thing. Except for Jerry Bass, who occupies a huge share, there is only this "silly boy" who just celebrated his birthday.

Furthermore, even if the Warriors are sold, the distribution of benefits among the teams will not be much less.

certainly!They don't think that a young boy will bring changes to the Oakland ball market in a short period of time.

After Bruce finished his statement slowly, nearly half of the bosses had already put the information in their hands on the table with a smile. Judging from the expressions of these few, they basically got their approval.

"Your statement is really interesting!" Stern nodded with a smile. After many bosses and team managers put down the materials one by one, he looked at the haggard Ke sitting in the corner with some regret. Rhys Cohan asked softly, "What's your opinion?"

The bosses, who were a little annoyed by the labor negotiations, had been greeted by Cohan, and now they proved that this little guy is a good person. Nearly half of the bosses raised their right hands to pass.

"Buzz!"

There was a whisper among several bosses who seemed to have a good relationship, and Bruce couldn't help but sweat in his heart.

"Okay! We welcome this fun-loving young man very much!" Several of the bosses who were watching said their answers one by one.

When the number of these bosses raised their hands in favor reached 18, there was a sudden knock on the door!
Stern frowned and glanced at the assistant not far away. He had previously explained that he could not be disturbed during the meeting, but now the knock on the door made him a little annoyed.

The assistant next to Stern took a flustered look, then hurriedly got up and walked towards the door!
