Chapter 77 Containment
In mid-March, after constant testing, Bruce sat depressed behind his desk.
"These damned guys are indeed vampires!" Bruce muttered helplessly.
Judging from the nearly half of the games played in this shortened season, some teams that have no hope of hitting the championship and those teams that have been at the bottom for thousands of years have shown a hunger for draft picks.
Bruce's crazy temptation made these guys basically very interested in the draft pick in his hand.
After a phone call with the Cavaliers' manager, Bruce was only a little bit close to completing the Jason Caffey deal, and the final reason for the breakdown of the negotiations was that the Cavaliers' manager insisted that Bruce add a draft pick to the deal. Right, which led to the breakdown of this transaction!
"Jingle Bell!!"
Bruce rubbed his cheeks in disappointment, feeling numb to this possible inquiry call!
"Mr. Bruce, how are your considerations?"
As soon as he heard the other party's voice, Bruce's originally depressed expression became more and more ugly: "Rice, do you think a "former" All-Star who has had so much fun in the offseason that his body has changed a lot is worth my money in the draft? right?"
Bruce couldn't help but feel absurd when he thought of this guy's bloody mouth. Sean Kemp was indeed a superstar, but since the shrinking season of this guy, his appearance and competitive state have horrified the public.
Kemp, who was originally super muscular, after this long offseason only focused on having fun, his originally hard muscles had already turned into fat all over his body, and his competitive state almost shocked the Cavaliers to death.
Originally, Bruce would not have considered this deal, but at the beginning the manager of the Cavaliers provided Bruce with a bargaining chip that was simply irresistible to this temptation!
The plan of the transaction is that Bruce will take out Caffey, Coles, Rodgers plus $100 million in compensation to get Sean Kemp and Derek Anderson of the Cavaliers!
The bargaining chips paid by Bruce are already quite rich. Except for Caffey, the other two will become free agents this summer.
In the case of paying two expiring contracts to this situation, coupled with the fact that the Cavaliers are eager to deal with Kemp's contract, if the news is known to the outside world, they will basically exclaim that the Cavaliers have made a profit.
And now the Cavaliers manager insists on adding a second-round pick, but Bruce can't continue!
"Rice, to be honest! I'm afraid you know more about Sean's competitive state than me!" Bruce frowned and looked at the copy of Kemp's performance this season: "And, I basically I have no interest in getting the "big fat guy" Sean, so let him run aground on this deal!!"
Bruce hung up the phone depressed, not because he insisted on getting Kemp, but because he still had a little fantasy about the star, so he made a test after the Cavaliers released the wind, but as the transaction deepened, he gradually lost his mind. Bruce, who was in the glory of Kemp, was suddenly brought back to his senses by an inexplicable palpitation.
"Aha! Bruce, you must be joking, man, I know you need Sean, aren't we good trading partners?"
Hearing Bruce's voice of giving up the deal, Rice said anxiously with a hint of urgency in his tone.
"Sorry! I have given up on this deal!" Bruce replied in a very bad mood. In the big circle of the NBA, even if the mood is bad, unless something about the transaction is really unbelievably bad, the team The managers of the company will not turn their faces on the surface.
"Bruce, oh no! Mr. Bruce, do you think it's okay to stick to our previous deal?" When Rice heard the firmness in Bruce's words, a feeling of despair rose from the bottom of his heart. At the beginning, Rice will definitely not ask for draft picks in a flash!
Hearing the despair revealed in Rice's words, Bruce's irritable mood suddenly relaxed a little, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said calmly, "Sorry! I have to hold a team meeting now!"
Bruce's mood gradually returned to calm. He understood Rice's thoughts very well, but when it came to Kemp's transaction just now, he was only fantasized by Rice's routine for a while.
Kemp's transaction value, after Bruce's careful consideration, plus the memory of his previous life, after analysis, he was startled, and couldn't help cursing secretly to his own mind!
"I said why this guy would kindly send Anderson for himself! It turned out that I thought it was too good!" Bruce took the pen on the table and put his strength on Kemp's 20 points, 9 rebounds Cross it out, and then I secretly lose my breath!
After finishing the negotiation with the Cavaliers, Bruce did not follow the Warriors game as before. He just watched a rare one in the following home game, and this game also contributed to the decline of the Warriors. Delay!
Bruce sat on the court with a calm expression, watching the game with only "garbage" time left on the court, and seeing that the players were not as enthusiastic as before after winning the game, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Is this the price of being young? "
The Nets, who have just experienced a transaction, are the first time they have encountered the Warriors this season. At the beginning of this shrinking season, they signed Jason Williams with a generous contract.
And the Nets, who were still eager to make a move this season, discovered at the beginning of the season that even if the team got some players to join, their system and players' abilities were still somewhat overestimated by them!
Since the beginning of the season, the Nets have become the "bad net" in the first half of the season. So far, they have only won 8 games, and they are also at the bottom of the Eastern Conference rankings!
Bruce looked at the players on the field who seemed to be venting, and couldn't help but feel at a loss for this team!
Since getting the Warriors, Bruce has put all his energy into it. Following the first plan, he watched the lineup structure be completed little by little. At that time, only pride and excitement were left in his heart!
But with the beginning of this shrinking season, apart from the Warriors showing great energy in the beginning of the season, after entering March, it seemed like a huge "landslide", and fell silent for no apparent reason!
Carter is still showing his omnipotent dunk, but he seems to be struggling a little bit with tactics!
Nowitzki seems to have encountered the legendary "rookie wall". Since entering March, his precise shooting has rarely been revealed, and his weak body has been exploited by those teams who study Warriors players!
Although Billups is still making progress slowly, his performance can only be said to be qualified!
The entire Warriors team, after entering March, seems to be in trouble for all the players, even if the health is not bad for the time being, but when this happens, especially in this season with a dense schedule, Bruce dares to say that he will There is an injury situation!
Bruce seems to be paying attention to the Warriors players who are venting and bombing on the court, but he is thinking about the future of the team in his heart!
When the whistle sounded for the final game, Bruce stood up with a smile. As the owner of the team, he had the responsibility to give encouragement to the players who won a victory!
"Guys! I'm very satisfied with your performance!" Standing in the middle of the locker room, Bruce looked at the players' calm look, with a trace of regret in his eyes, and then said loudly: "The temporary downturn is understandable. How difficult the season is, I think you already know a little bit!"
Hearing Bruce's words, all the players and the coaching staff looked at the young boss, and they were about to go crazy with his recent performance!
Just like the irony of the media before the game, the Nets have greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, but the Warriors' dismal performance in March was regarded by the media as the bottom of the league.
As for the Warriors players, I don't know if those veterans played a role, and they frantically attacked the Nets' interception at the beginning of the game.
When they finally won the game with a big score of 100:88, reflecting the loss of the Nets players, the anxiety and loss of the players in the team were relieved!
"I've seen your performance!" Bruce looked at these players seriously, and pointed to the wall's tactical arrangement against the Bulls on and off the field: "Guys, you know why the Bulls left Michael and Scott? Did they become the bottom team now?"
Bruce looked seriously at the players whose expressions had changed slightly, secretly moved in his heart, and said solemnly: "We are a united team, and every player is the most powerful fighter in this league. You are selfless and united. , you are a team with great talent and potential!"
Listening to Bruce's passionate speech, the players all showed a thoughtful look!
What Bruce said is indeed the same thing. Through the understanding of half the game, whether it is Carter who is unanimously favored, or Nowitzki, who was fiercely criticized by the media at the beginning of the season, in these games, he fully paid attention to him. Their people showed their great potential and talent.
Coupled with the growth of Billups and others, the potential of this Warriors team, even the media who are satirical and not optimistic about them, lamented the future potential of this team after these games!
Bruce's impassioned speech and encouragement to the players made these players dispel most of the anxiety and irritability in their hearts!
When Bruce finally invited these guys to relax, he thought they would refuse for various reasons, but the final decision really made Bruce dumbfounded!
"The boss is a very rich man!"
"Boss, we have to relax tonight!"
Listening to the players' excited voices, Bruce couldn't help but smile at the thick lines of these guys!
The first update, the second update around six o'clock!
