Chapter 91 "Robbery" March
Chapter 91 "Robbery" March
Bruce and Tyronn simply ate something in this somewhat cramped office, and after temporarily suppressing the feeling of hunger, the two chatted one after another!
"Boss, do we have any plans to choose this European player?" When Bruce asked him to hand over Kirilenko's note to the staff, Tyron had some doubts about Bruce's choice!
Bruce drank the last sip of coffee in the cup with a smile, motioned Tyron to fill up for himself, thought for a while, and said, "Do you know what changes we need to make now?"
Tyronn picked up the coffee pot on the table, refilled coffee for Bruce, thought for a while, and said, "What we need to do now is to slim down the inside players and promote the further growth of those rookies!"
"That's right!" Bruce nodded with great satisfaction. He pointed to the names of Kirilenko and James Posey that had just been graffitied in his hand, and said cautiously: "Young players need a certain amount of space to grow. It is imperative to lose weight inside, and what we have to do now is to open up a vast land for these good seedlings and lay a foundation for their growth!"
As the two chatted, the draft finally entered the second round, which is the second round of the draft!
In the second round of the draft, Stern, who was already exhausted, did not continue to stay in the front desk, and the vice president also took on this responsibility!
As the No. [-] pick in the second round, the Lakers selected John Celestand from Villanova University.
In the ensuing draft, the only thing Bruce was familiar with was the short power forward Mike Ruffin selected by the Chicago Bulls.
When the draft team came to the Mavericks, Bruce was inexplicably nervous and looked forward to it!
"The Mavericks chose Wang Zhizhi from the Huaxia Bayi Men's Basketball Team!!"
I don't know if it was Stern's special instruction. When the vice president said Wang Zhizhi's name, he paused for a while, and the appearance of Nelson and Mark Cuban, who were sitting in the audience, suddenly shocked the fans!
Cuban's purchase of the Mavericks has been gradually known by some well-informed sources, and now seeing Nelson and Cuban openly appearing together, this makes these guys further and even affirmed who the Mavericks' final owner will be!
Bruce looked at Cuban who was confidently gesturing to everyone on TV. This famous crazy boss in his previous life really came into the eyes of the fans!
"Mark! This Chinese man is very suitable for the team's tactical system. His shooting touch and flexible feet will definitely help the team!" Nelson said with great certainty to the smiling Cuban beside him.
Nelson admires this future boss who has the motto of "do whatever it takes for the team"!
Even though Cuban has not yet completed the last step and is being reviewed in the league, he has learned some inside information from Nelson, and he is very sure of Cuban's final acquisition!
Although it is not uncommon for teams to choose international players in the NBA draft, this year's international rookies are like a small explosion. Several players have been selected by NBA teams, which also makes some insiders find out There is a clue!
Seeing that the Mavericks finally chose the compatriot from the motherland, Bruce breathed a sigh of relief for some reason!
The subsequent drafts were basically marginal people. When the second round gradually came to the second half, Bruce finally changed his previous leisurely attitude and hurriedly sat up!
The No. 40 Rockets selected Tyronn Washington of Mississippi State University, the No. 40 Sacramento Kings selected Ryan Robertson from the University of Kansas, and the No. 40 Six Knicks JR Koch was chosen.
When the 40ers with the No.76 sixth pick selected Todd McClochy, a Canadian from the University of Washington, Bruce suddenly clenched his hands!
Tai Lun was extremely surprised to see Bruce, whose hands were clenched tightly, and was already pinched a little white, and he was very puzzled by his sudden nervousness!
Bruce's face suddenly revealed an excited and excited expression. Although he knew that Mr. "Demon Sword" did not get a good position in the draft pick prediction, when Bruce was about to win one of the best rookies in the 99th class When I was a player, the excitement and excitement in my heart reached the highest peak in an instant!
"Sorry! Mr. Popovich!" Bruce muttered to himself, handed the last note in his pocket to Tyron, and silently paid attention to the rookie who shook hands with the vice president on TV!
Tyronn, who had long been accustomed to Bruce's approach, got up and walked out of the room the moment he received the note!
Hearing the sound of closing the door behind him, Bruce couldn't help laughing anymore: "Hahahaha!! This feeling of robbery is so fucking cool!!!"
The vice president smiled and took out a card with the Warriors on it. Although Stern reminded him, he was still very interested in this young man who caused a big stir last season!
"The Warriors chose." The fans have already had some tacit understanding of the "special" care of the two presidents. When the vice president is still pulling a long tune in the selection of the Warriors, I don't know who will take the lead." Applause", and then a lot of applause and accompanying boos broke out in the entire venue!
"Shooting guard from Argentina, Manu Ginobili!!!"
Just after the vice president finished speaking, although there were not as many fans in the arena as at the beginning, all of these fans sighed in amazement!
"Is this guy going to build an international column??"
"God! Don't American players get this guy's favor anymore?"
Popovich sat in the hut belonging to the Spurs with an ugly face, glanced at the tangled senior scout RC Buford who had just been promoted by himself, and suddenly felt a bit of resentment towards Bruce in his heart!
As the team's senior scout, Buford didn't know whether it was because of the small ball market. After assisting Larry Brown and Popovich one after another, he became the vice president and general manager of the Spurs in Popovich. When the manager rehired him, as the first assistant coach under Larry Brown, he threw himself into the arms of the Spurs without any hesitation!
Relying on his good eyesight and requirements for the team to reduce costs, Buford gradually set his sights on those international players who are gradually showing their prominence!
Originally, the Spurs' plan for this year was to get Manu Ginobili, a white player from Argentina who was highly recommended by Buford, but when the Bruce won Kirilenko in the first round, Buford and Popovich Then I had some bad feelings!
And when they really walked into the second round of the draft with anxiety, this feeling became even more disturbing!
"Greg! Shall we make a deal with Bruce?" Buford asked the tangled Popovich a little depressed!
He has no desire to dismiss Buford's vision at all. With years of cooperation, the two know both sides very well, and after Popovich and Buford have basically the same vision in player search and draft , They only took a few short years to build the Spurs into a powerful team with a reasonable salary and a combination of old and new!
And last season, the Spurs won the championship, which further explained the abilities of the two!
"What should we exchange?" Popovich thought for a while, and looked at his friends with a wry smile. Although they don't mind taking out their first-round picks, judging from the current results of the Spurs, they definitely won't. Get a higher rank!
Bruce's demand for draft picks was also clear after he acquired the Warriors, which made the Spurs a little tangled in this deal!
"So, are we just giving up on that very good seed?" Buford looked at his old friend with some unwillingness, and found that Ginobili's figure was also the result of his careful search in Europe. Nobili's draft market is not optimistic about him. After watching a game by chance, Buford was completely attracted by the charm of this weird guy!
In order to get this young man with great potential, Buford even spread some unfavorable messages about Ginobili in the United States.
Of course, as a senior scout for the Spurs, he would not admit to such a thing!
If Popovich and Buford saw Bruce sitting on the office chair and laughing loudly, they would definitely scold Bruce for being unscrupulous!
"Jingle Bell!!"
Bruce, who was tending to roll on the ground, suddenly stopped laughing when he heard the phone ring.
"Ahem, who is it?" Bruce asked with some doubts, resisting the cough caused by being forced to stop laughing.
"Hello! Bruce, I'm the general manager of the Spurs, Gregg Popovich!"
Hearing the introduction on the phone, although Bruce had such preparations when he chose Gino Belgium, but now he suddenly heard the slightly hoarse voice of the champion coach. While surprised, he coughed provocatively afterwards !
"Ahem!!" Bruce coughed non-stop with a flushed face. When he finally stopped coughing, he said shyly, "Ahem! I'm sorry, Mr. Greg, I'm not feeling well recently!"
Popovich looked helplessly at Buford, who was looking forward to him. Hearing that the other party's words did not seem to be teasing, coupled with the coughing sound in his ears from time to time, he thought for a while, and said: "Bruce, we need you The Argentine kid you took in your hand, I wonder what your needs are?"
"I knew it!!" Bruce finally stopped coughing. He was very clear about Popovich's intentions, deliberately silent for a while, and said: "Mr. Greg, I think you also know my desire for rookies, the situation of the Warriors You saw it too!"
Popovich heard the meaning of Bruce's words. Although he was still a little unwilling, he still put forward his own plan: "We will take out next year's second-round pick and 50 US dollars in exchange for this player. What do you think? What about the name?"
"Uh..." Hearing Popovich's offer, Bruce couldn't help being taken aback by the other party's generosity!
In 99, it was almost impossible to see a team willing to offer such chips to an unfamiliar player at the end of the second round!
Especially excluding the US dollar compensation after the second round pick, it is not a player that the opponent is particularly interested in, even a first player in the second round will not get such an offer!
"Sorry! Greg, you know there is another international player on my team, because I am afraid that Dirk will feel lonely, and this shooting guard's ability is still barely there, so I don't want to trade this player at the moment. Player!" Bruce thought for a while, although he didn't want to offend this veteran, Ginobili is a player he would never trade!
Hearing Bruce's tactful refusal, Popovich finally gave up on Ginobili's matter, and he was also very curious about Bruce's astonishing vision: "Then, I'm here to wish you good luck!"
Afterwards, the two chatted about some family affairs one after another, nothing more than spanking for a while. With Tyron's return, Bruce ended the final step of this "robbery"!
Bruce watched all the draft picks in his hands turn into super practical potential stocks, and suddenly a "bandit" breath rose from him! !
The last update, I wish my friends a sweet dream! ~~~~
