Bishop of the Devil

Stern was so angry that Richard was speechless, and the entire venue was eerily quiet.

Richard continued: "I suggest that future voting meetings adopt a counting system. There are only thirty votes anyway, so why bother?"

"We're not doing anything unscrupulous, so why do we have to be anonymous? If we don't steal or rob, why do we do it secretly?"

As soon as Richard finished speaking, Paul Allen spoke.

"That's right, just count the votes. There are only thirty votes in total, and one vote takes two seconds. It only takes one minute. There is no need to complicate a simple matter."

"We must know that our time is very precious!"

Led by Paul Allen, many bosses at the scene expressed similar views. Of course, some bosses remained silent.

The situation reached a deadlock for a time, and Stern was now in a difficult position and had no idea what to do next.

Looking at the current situation, there are quite a few bosses who support Richard. If he agrees to cancel the anonymity system, then there is no need to think too much about the result of this vote. Richard's wish will definitely be fulfilled, and the Golden Dragon will successfully take over the Warriors.

…

The venue was silent for five minutes, with no one speaking.

"How about it, have you thought about it? Mr. Stern."

"Just cancel the anonymity, we don't have time to waste here, there is still a lot of work to do at hand."

Seeing that it would not be a problem if it continued like this, McClendon urged Stern to give an answer quickly.

Now McClendon feels a bit like Richard's horse boy. Richard doesn't need to urge Stern. He, the horse boy, takes the initiative...

Stern felt dizzy for a while. This was the first time since he took over as league president that he felt that the situation was out of control.

The current situation is really out of control. Before this, the bosses of the league did not really care about this kind of thing. Even if they did, they had objections to it. But when fighting alone, the boss of any team Nor could he threaten Stern.

But now the situation is different. Richard is like a piece of glue, uniting many bosses, causing the alliance to no longer be Stern's one-man shop.

…

After a long silence, Stern reluctantly spoke.

"Then cancel the anonymity. Adam, you will be responsible for the next voting process. I feel a little uncomfortable." Stern no longer wanted to stay in this venue and asked Xiao Hua beside him to take charge of the next process.

Xiao Hua's face was full of bitterness, and he felt more and more terrible about Richard.

This is the first time Richard has participated in such a heavyweight voting meeting, and as a result, he has won over such a large number of team owners, although these owners must have spoken for Richard because of Paul Allen's face.

But Paul Allen's connections are actually Richard's connections. The two are family after all.

In the next voting session, will Richard become the real talker of this alliance?

Thinking of this, Xiao Hua couldn't help but shudder.

He feels that it may not be long before Stern's era will become history and be swept into the dustbin of history.

…

After Stern left, Xiao Hua began to adopt the new system proposed by Richard.

Roll the vote.

Starting from the first boss, he expressed whether he agreed with Golden Dragon taking over the Warriors, and then the on-site staff recorded it.

After the votes are counted, the statistical results cannot be faked and are quite fair and just.

In less than three minutes, the voting results came out.

18 teams agreed, and the remaining teams all abstained.

These teams that abstain are actually trying to avoid offending both sides.

If you vote in favor, you will definitely offend Stern. If Stern targets their team, their life will be difficult.

If they vote against it, they will offend Richard. Now Richard is definitely outnumbered, and with Richard's evil reputation, they also don't want to offend Richard.

In this way, a full twelve teams directly abstained.

The result is quite obvious. The voting result is that Golden Dragon successfully obtained the ownership of the Warriors.

…

After the voting, the bosses said hello to Richard and agreed to treat Richard to dinner when he arrived at their home court to play away games.

Xiao Hua called out to Richard, with a confused look on his face.

"Li, you are a little too tough this time." Xiao Hua did not dare to say that Richard had gone too far and used the word tough...

"Huh? Adam, can I still call this tough?" Richard had a smile on his face.

"If I were really tough, today's voting session would be a vote on whether Stern should stay or go."

After hearing this, Xiao Hua suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead!

Crazy, so crazy. Richard actually had this idea and wanted to drive Stern away! ?

"Don't, don't, don't!"

"Li, don't be so impulsive. In fact, there is no big grudge between you and Mr. Stern."

"I know that both of you are face-saving people. In fact, many things can be solved by taking half a step back. There is no need to go into such a big fight." Xiao Hua was almost frightened to death by what Richard just said.

"Mr. Stern sometimes behaves a bit domineering, but please believe me, he actually has deeper feelings for the alliance than anyone else, but he is a little too controlling..."

Richard nodded. He recognized what Xiao Hua said. Stern has indeed made a huge contribution to the league. Apart from the problem of being too controlling, he can be regarded as a great man in NBA history. .

But the key point is that Richard doesn't like the feeling of being controlled by others. Stern's desire to control can control others, but when it comes to controlling himself, Richard will never accept it.

"I understand, Adam, Mr. Stern has made a huge contribution to the league, and I won't go too far."

"I also love the league and will never do anything that harms the interests of the league. If Stern introduces any rules that are powerful for the league, I will not oppose it."

"Like the previous dress code, this is a good thing and I will help the league implement it."

"But in this case, you should know that Stern went too far. He brought personal grudges into work."

After hearing what Richard said, Xiao Hua smiled bitterly. He now wanted to reconcile the conflict between Richard and Stern, but he didn't have the ability.

…

After Richard returned to Charlotte, he immediately called Golden Dragon.

"Congratulations, Boss Huang." Richard said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Dragon knew that the situation was set.

"Succeeded? Li!"

"Success, the Warriors will belong to you from now on. Come to my office later, and I will tell you about the Warriors' team building ideas." Richard said with a smile.

Half an hour later, Golden Dragon rushed into Richard's office excitedly.

Richard has already thought about the Warriors' team building ideas, but it is not the lineup construction, but the selection of team executives.

There is nothing wrong with the general manager using Bob Myers.

The head coach still continues to use Nelson, and there is nothing wrong with this. Nelson's coaching ability is actually very strong, and he is the best coach who can turn corruption into magic. Even Richard is ashamed of himself in this aspect.

As for the team's president of basketball affairs, Richard asked Golden Dragon to ask Jerry West to come out.

The LOGO male player was quite strong during his playing days, but if you really want to compare his managerial career after retirement, it is actually slightly inferior.

Under normal circumstances, the first dynasty of the Lakers' OK combination was created by West, and Kobe was selected by him.

In addition, the future Warriors dynasty also built its main team under West's tenure.

After leaving the Warriors, he took over the Clippers and sold all the team's main players. As a result, under such circumstances, he still kept the Clippers quite strong.

The Lakers dynasty, the Warriors dynasty, whether the Clippers can be a dynasty, no one can say, it will definitely be a failure...

Of course, this is a feat performed by LOGO Man under normal circumstances. Currently, due to Richard, LOGO Man's management resume is not that bright.

Even so, if the Golden Dragon can invite the LOGO man, it will definitely keep the Warriors on the right track.

Under normal circumstances, LOGO Man will join the Warriors in 2011, but now Richard is planning to move this time forward.

In the summer of 2007, LOGO Man withdrew from the Grizzlies and is currently unemployed at home. If Golden Dragon hires him, he is very likely to come out.

With LOGO Man, Nelson and Miles helping the Golden Dragon, the Warriors' rise is just around the corner.

Of course, Richard will also help the Warriors select some players from time to time to help them take shape as soon as possible and become a strong team in the Western Conference.

…

In the blink of an eye, time has arrived in October.

Richard was always paying attention to the Beijing Olympics, which started in August.

This time the American Dream Team is coming in a big way, with many superstar-level players on the roster, and many All-Star-level players who signed up are unable to compete.

The Chinese men's basketball team was not very lucky. In the semi-finals, they met the American team and ultimately lost.

There is nothing that can be done about it. The strength of this dream team is too strong. Even if Richard is coaching on the spot, the chance of winning this dream team is less than 10%.

However, the men's basketball team defeated its opponent Spain in the third-place match and finally won a bronze medal.

This result is acceptable. After all, this bronze medal also represents the third place in the world, which is already a pretty good result.

…

The preseason has begun, and the Pirates rookies who have been waiting for the entire offseason are finally ushering in the starting point of their careers.

O'Neal was traded away by Richard, and the happiest person about this was not Oden...

Oden is actually a little reluctant to leave O'Neal. If O'Neal can stay, he will not be unable to accept it even if he is allowed to continue to play as a substitute this season.

The happiest thing is Little Jordan...

Originally he thought he wouldn't get much playing time in his rookie season, but he didn't expect O'Neal to be traded. Oden, the original chief backup center, became the regular center. Then wouldn't Jordan become the chief backup center?

Although the Buccaneers also have Kwame Brown as their substitute at center, Jordan doesn't take Kwame Brown too seriously...

Although he is definitely not the starter, Jordan is extremely satisfied to be the chief substitute.

Playing in an extremely high-profile team like the Pirates, as long as you are good, it is easy to earn your worth.

…

In the six preseason games, Jordan performed well, averaging 12 points and 11 rebounds per game. Because it was a preseason game, Richard would definitely not let the main players play for too long, but let this year The four new melon eggs can be beaten vigorously.
