Legendary Basketball Tycoon

"Prince prince, I took a look, and basically I agree with the contents of these two contracts. In fact, the conditions of these contracts are already very good. At least in my opinion, I have moved a little..."

Indeed, Li Qiuping knows how famous Bruce is in Tianhan Empire in the United States. Although it is not as famous as Microsoft, Apple and the like in the United States, you must know this Tianhan Empire. But an investment company, invest whatever is profitable, and invest whatever is useful.

And the benefits are also very good. In this case, I don’t know how many people want to squeeze into Tianhan Empire to work...

"Mr. Li, we will only arrange for Yao Ming and Liu Wei to go to New York this year. As for the other candidates, we should wait for the next time. Step by step. They are also the first batch of players that we have raised talents for the country. There will be people coming every year in the future. The college participates in the NCAA competition, and besides, they are also your fellows. Then you can take care of them in New York..."

"new York?"

Li Qiuping did not expect Bruce to arrange for Yao Ming and Liu Wei to study in New York. It stands to reason that they should go to Seattle to study like Wang Zhizhi, first at Garfield High School, and then at the University of Washington to play NCAA games. It's a university in Los Angeles, where the Chinese have a solid foundation, and they will definitely make Yao Ming and Liu Wei adapt to life in the United States more quickly...

But Bruce said that in New York, does this have any significance...

"Yes, New York, Yao Ming and Liu Wei are 17 years old this year, they can go to high school directly, first transition to high school, general manager Mickey has already found a high school, Ross Middle School."

This Ross middle school must be introduced in detail here. In the future, Chinese players who will join the New York Hans will leave this high school.

Ross Middle School was established in 1991 and is a well-known private high school in New York State. In the early days of its establishment, the school was a day college. Later, with the development of the school, the school divided the upper and lower grades into two campuses. The first grade campus is located in Bridgehampton, Long Island, New York, and the upper grade campus is located in East Hampton. (And Yao Ming and Liu Wei are 17 years old and belong to the senior year so they will be in the East Hampton campus)

Bridgehampton and East Hampton are located in the Long Island area in the east of New York City. The scenery here is pleasant and the transportation is convenient. It takes about 2 hours to drive to the center of New York City. It is not as noisy and bustling as New York City, but it is attracted by people because it retains the beautiful natural landscape and cultural atmosphere.

Because it was a high school that was just established, when New York Hans General Manager Mitch Kupchak found the principal of Ross Middle School and explained his intentions, the school also readily agreed. Just kidding, who doesn’t know about Bruce in this area of ​​Long Island. The name is, and now the New York Hans are still playing here in Long Island Garden. Whether it is to give Bruce face or increase the popularity of this newly established high school, the school must accept Bruce's request...

Ross Middle School is worrying about the few influential people arranging family members to study. No, the pie is falling from the sky and ready to feed them Ross Middle School...

In addition, Bruce also gave a sponsorship fee to the basketball team. He also mentioned a condition that the Chinese players must be used as starters. After all, Bruce didn't let these players be drinking fountains as spectators...

Of course, this pie is not something you can eat casually. Mickey Kupchak solemnly warned the school that if racially discriminatory language attacks the students arranged by Bruce, the school must deal with it seriously, even if these students are rich or politicians. The family’s relatives are no exception...

If the school performs well, someone will be sent over to continue to study later. If the performance is not good, then change the school. New York high school is a large area if this does not work, then change...

"Just in the Long Island area, you can pay attention to your two little fellows for a long time..."

"Oh, by the way, it is better to convince Yao Ming and Liu Wei's parents that the time is best as soon as possible. I am ready to apply for visas for them, and we will go to the United States together in July..."

Yao Ming and Liu Wei’s affairs must be dealt with as soon as possible, and some things must be done in advance, such as visas, exams, etc., which take time, and half a year is almost enough...

"Oh, no, the prince, I would like to ask why not arrange them to go to the Seattle Garfield High School where Wang Zhizhi is located? Or the high schools in the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles?"

"There is also the prince, why are you going back to New York in July? The draft is not going to be held in June..."

If I go to the United States again in July, the cucumber dishes will be cold. Li Qiuping thought that Bruce wanted to participate in the draft at this time...

He knew that Bruce had no interest in the 1997 draft. After he returned to New York to arrange for Yao Ming and Liu Wei, he would go back to Seattle to study...

Life is hard, Bruce has no time to rest this year, and the schedule is full...

"Ms. Li, the reason for arranging them to study in New York, of course, is to prepare for the selection of them to the Hans in the future. As for the 1997 draft, I have no interest at all. I am going to participate in the 1997 entry into Hong Kong. The troop ceremony will rest on Hong Kong Island for a few days before returning to New York with you..."

Bruce mainly wants to add some real estate on Hong Kong Island, after all, he still has a certain amount of money left on him...

The prince did not mention the entry of the Hong Kong troops, Li Qiuping, almost forgot, yes, Hong Kong Island is going home in July 1997. This is such a big thing, you must go to the scene with the prince to see it. ...

"Then what about Wang Zhizhi, isn't the prince planning to select him for the Han Chinese team next year?"

After all, the United States, who came with Wang Zhizhi, is still somewhat emotional. Besides, it has generally performed well in the past few years. Next year is roughly the draft year. If selected by the Hans, it will probably be smooth in the NBA. More...

"No, I can tell you in advance that if the other teams in the 1997 NBA draft didn't pick him roughly, then he would be selected by Seattle if he fell in the pick of the Sonics."

Bruce thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Of course, Bruce can also give a general introduction to Nelson, after all, they also have mentorship.

For the time being, the Hans can’t have a rough idea. The reason is very simple. You are the president of the league. Will you make a team appear with 3-4 players from a country?

Stern is not so old and confused yet, so Bruce thinks it through. His New York Hans wants one inside and one outside. If the outside is not suitable, he can continue to ask for the inside.

And Yao Ming is the inside line that Bruce just thought about. As for the outside line, let’s see how Liu Wei’s performance is. If he doesn’t appear in the small green house, it’s okay. At that time, Liu Wei can still be selected through a trade. If you are in the little green house, then you can only resign yourself...

In fact, whether it is Wang Zhizhi or Liu Wei or even other Chinese players who participated in the draft, waiting for them, they are still being traded and changing teams. This is normal. In the more commercial NBA league, you will never Know when you were traded away.

And Bruce just wants to keep a few in his own team. After all, it is not a Chinese player who is easily beaten to confidence if he is frequently traded and returns to China to play in the CBA league.

Whether they return to the country or not, it’s not about Bruce’s business, but what worries Bruce the most is that once the players who have been "harmed" by the cruel commercial nature of the NBA return to China, they will definitely have to go to great pains. Emotions affect other young people's.

Therefore, Chinese players who come to the United States must choose the best.
