Chapter 95 A lot of pressure!
In July, the teams went through sporadic transactions during the draft, and it seemed a little calm at the beginning of this free agent signing!
Bruce frowned and looked at the thick documents in his hands. Although he already had some ideas about the composition of the team, the league that has just experienced several big deals in the shrinking season, in this season that is about to enter the new century Here, on the premise of maintaining the existing players, each team has shown coveted faces towards some stars at this moment of dynasty change!
Paul Allen, as the vice president of Microsoft, after he got the ownership of the Trail Blazers, with his super obsession with the NBA, he gradually absorbed various stars to join him!
In the last shrinking season, although the Blazers had a luxurious lineup, they still lost to the Spurs' inside twin towers in the Western Conference Finals with the Spurs!
I don't know if it was out of the desire for the championship, Allen launched a strong voice for the championship at the beginning of this new century!
Bruce put the information into the drawer with some headaches. Although he made some divisions and marks for players in other teams that might be traded, it was really difficult for those managers who opened their mouths!
With the witch craze triggered by "The Blair Witch", the film received a super box office of nearly 2000 million after a week of its release.
Bruce looked at the comments on this film on TV with some surprises. Even though this film was completely criticized by most film critics, the weird trend caused by this film made Miracle Entertainment make a lot of money!
With the gradual signing of free agents in the league, Bruce signed two partially guaranteed contracts after watching some players' data analysis and trial training!
With the passage of time and the signing of some free agents, because of the problem of team personnel, Bruce was not too active in the free agent market, but only signed two marginal players and invested in the potential of other teams On the deal!
On the last day of July, Scottie Pippen, who had already had a falling out with the Rockets, because he and Barkley blatantly attacked each other in the media, sent Pippen to the "Prison Team" Portland Trail Blazers!
With the addition of Pippen, Paul Allen, who holds a huge amount of wealth, seems to have seen that the Blazers have the strength to win the championship.
In the subsequent transaction, although the Blazers had reached a super luxurious lineup in the lineup, they still traded "bad boy" Ryder, a player who was gradually unpopular in the Blazers, to the Eagles.
Through this deal, after the Trail Blazers got the Eagles' sharpshooter Steve Smith, the entire Trail Blazers lineup can be called a historically luxurious lineup!
Their lineup includes Rasheed Wallace, Steve Smith, Sabonis and "Little Flying Mouse" Damon Stoudemire and several other All-Star players!
On their bench are three tough players, Brian Grant, Jermaine O'Neal and Bonzi Wells!
When Bruce learned of the occurrence of these transactions, he was extremely astonished by Paul Allen's super generous!
With the outbreak of the Blazers, the Rockets did not fall behind at the end of July, and they are discussing with the other two teams about a multi-player trade plan!
After the draft, Francis, who was the second overall pick, resolutely refused to go to Vancouver to report. His tough statement also brought a glimmer of hope to the team coveting this powerful guard!
Bruce looked at some rumors about the recent NBA league in his hand, and when he saw this news, he couldn't help showing a playful smile on his face!
Putting down the document in his hand, Bruce drew a circle in another document on the table with some hesitation!
Because of the joining of Jason Terry, the Eagles have made huge changes to the team lineup after the shrinking season!
As Mucci Blaylock is getting old, after trading away Steve Smith, the Eagles set their sights on the veteran again!
"Bruce, what's your take on this deal??"
Listening to the Eagles manager's inquiry, Bruce looked at the deal about the veteran on the table with some hesitation, because the contracts that the Eagles asked for were basically marginal players in the Warriors, which made the temptation of this veteran quite great!
Even though Blaylock's ability is not as good as in previous years as he grows older, his honor of being selected to the best defensive team all the year round still makes Bruce have great interest in trading!
Although this veteran's ability has declined a bit, he can still bring some good experience to the Warriors, but his injuries and a somewhat large contract have brought great trouble to Bruce!
Blaylock had just signed a five-year, $97 million contract in the 98-2100 season, which made it difficult for Bruce to consider the salary and the contract of Carter and others!
When Bruce saw the names of Carter and the others on the table, he thought about it for a while, and finally showed a regretful expression on his face, and said, "Sorry! Alpheus, I am very sorry about this transaction!"
Bruce stared blankly at a corner of the office, still brooding over the Eagles' trade request.
As each team increased their competitiveness from time to time during the offseason, Bruce, who was supposed to add puzzle pieces to the team, still seemed a little hesitant!
With Adonal Foyle's good performance as a substitute last season, even though he only scored 2 points throughout the season, he scored a good performance of 9 rebounds.
Judging from the ability of this backup center, his defense has brought a good defense to the Warriors, but with the joining of Wallace, this player has never been able to cross the huge ridge of Big Ben.
Bruce looked at the data and physical report about Foyle in his hands with some confusion. He was really reluctant to give up on this player, but if he didn't choose to trade, the center position seemed a bit extravagant!
In order to make room for Nowitzki and Wallace, Bruce lost a lot of hair.
As for the few players in the team, after Bruce signaled his assistant to let the wind go, the offers offered by the managers of the other teams were hard to impress themselves!
When the Rockets, Grizzlies and Magic announced the completion of the deal on August 8th, a gust of wind suddenly blew up the somewhat dull league!
The deal involved a total of 12 players, and the Rockets got: Steve Francis and Tony Mashburn (Grizzlies); Don McClain and a first-round pick (Magic).
Grizzlies get: Michael Dixon, Osella Harrington, Brent Price, Anthony Karl and a first-round pick (Rockets)!
The Magic get: Michael Smith, Roderick Rodgers, Lee Maybury and Markta Ndayye (Grizzlies)!
The occurrence of this transaction is inevitable in the eyes of other team managers, because Francis refused to play for the Grizzlies, and the Rockets and Magic, who smelled fishy, all launched an offensive on this young player with the best physical fitness !
And in the end, because of the subsequent compromise of the three parties, this deal that involved the largest number of people this summer was born so far!
Seeing that some teams complete various transactions from time to time, even if they only sign a marginal player, this will make Bruce, who has not made any noise at all, very depressed!
As September rolls around, the hype for "American Pie" is at its peak for the film!
Internet publicity and massive advertising bombardment made this film extremely attractive to movie fans and film critics in this summer!
And Bruce had to stop working on the Warriors because of his expectations for this film and Miracle's investment in "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter"!
"Bruce, don't you think about investing again?" Although his rhetoric might not impress Bruce, Cole, as the CEO of Miracle Entertainment, had to persuade him to do so!
Bruce, who had known what Cole would say for a long time, picked up the information on the table with a smile, pointed to one of the pages of Peter Jackson's provisional budget, and said: "Although the investment in "Lord of the Rings" will cost us all Funds have been invested, but with the strong performance of "The Blair Witch", the popularity of the peripherals in the later period of "Slim Girl", and "American Pie" is about to cause another round of youth enthusiasm, we have reason to believe that the funds invested will quickly gather , This is also the reason for my decision!"
Although Bruce's statement has some truths, it seems to Cole that it is a crazy decision to invest all the company's hard-won profits into the intensive shooting of "Lord of the Rings"!
Miracle Entertainment, relying on these few films and some stocks sold by Bruce, seems to have gathered the capital flow of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but this will put great pressure on this newly established company , even if Bruce has taken the lead in making a mortgage to the bank, relying on the only 1000 million US dollars of the Warriors is simply not enough to support the moment when "American Pie" will finally accept the market test!
Bruce knew Cole's mood very well. When he got the shooting plan made by Jackson, he was shocked by this crazy guy!
Just the need for special effects consumes nearly half of the sky-high investment of [-] million U.S. dollars for each film. Coupled with the continuous shooting and personnel transfer, I am afraid that by the end of the three films, only [-] million U.S. dollars will appear Some are not enough!
In addition, "Harry Potter" will be launched in the first half of 2000 at the latest, which puts a lot of pressure on Bruce and Miracle Entertainment!
After a period of thinking, although Bruce is not willing to go to the bank for a loan, he has great ambitions, and on the premise of the strong money-absorbing ability of these two movies in the future, he not only borrows from the bank with the Warriors as collateral. Nearly 1 million US dollars was paid, and nearly one-third of Microsoft's stock was sold to obtain nearly 5 million yuan in capital flow!
Microsoft's stock, through Bruce's continuous investment of additional funds and the popularity of the new system, has allowed him to obtain a large amount of potential capital flow in a short period of time!
The combination of these things is also one of the reasons why Bruce seldom moves in the free agent market. Watching other teams wave a lot of dollars to recruit players, this makes Bruce, who is under great pressure, have to endure it for the time being!
The first update! ~
