Chapter 26: Reasons for being taken advantage of (seeking recommendation)

Accompanied by the teams invited this year's rookie players to participate in a separate trial after the end.

The 1993 NBA Draft was finally held on June 30 at Palace Arena in Auburn Hills, Michigan, USA.

Because no Chinese players participated in the draft in this NBA Draft, CCTV did not arrange a report team.

However, CCTV arranged for the two Chinese commentators of the New York Hans team, Xu Jicheng and Zhang Weiping, to broadcast live commentary together.

When Bruce arrived at the Palace of Auburn Hills, he was also very emotional. The "war" in the previous life was thrilling and shocked the world at that time!

It's a pity that those people in this life can hardly get together, and the "war" at the Palace of Auburn Hills is destined to become his permanent memory.

But today Bruce is still relatively happy, because there will be a "war" here for a while.

It can be seen from the fact that Bruce still came to participate in the draft in that handsome Hanfu today.

In a word, Bruce just likes to be poor.

At the same time, Bruce also brought Mickey Kupchak and Paul Westphal.

In consideration, Bruce also needs to discuss with Paul Westphal about the rookie roster for this draft.

Although Bruce can speak up, he also needs to choose a rookie that can be integrated into the team. What if he chooses his favorite player into his team based on personal preference, but the rookie does not fit in with the team's play style?

This time, Bruce changed from usual and decided to respect the opinions of the team's head coach.

Of course, this will never be Bruce's own thoughts. In fact, the above mentioned is not what everyone thinks, it is an illusion.

Bruce said that he was so tall and awe-inspiring that he was completely considered for the team. In fact, it was only because he knew that this year's rookies were also good for Chris Weber and Anfenni Hardaway, and the other rookies were all desirable. The kind that you don't want, in this case, it's better to give your subordinates an impression!

Anyway, Bruce decided to make it to 1997, so that the draft pick will be a few higher, and the first few rookies each year can be randomly selected.

Jason Kidd and Grant Hill in 1994, Kevin Garnett in 1995, and more rookies in 1996.

Even the rookies selected this year are not going to make way for the 96 rookies in the end, and he was traded one by one.

...

At this time, the coaches have all gathered together, and of course the boss is the same. Everyone has separated into small groups and gathered together to discuss.

It's not clear what to talk about, anyway, Bruce doesn't care, maybe there will be any trades between the teams in a while!

The newly promoted Rockets owner Fertitta was talking and laughing with the boss next to him. He just became the owner of the Houston Rockets. He must come out and scream everywhere!

But Fertitta couldn't laugh right away, because he saw a "demon" figure appearing in his eyes.

These days, sometimes he was suddenly awakened by nightmares, and he would dream of this "demon" in his dreams. It was so terrible, Bruce had now completely planted an indelible wound in Fertitta's mind.

Poor Fertitta still doesn't understand that he has offended the New York "prince" and needs him to torture herself so painstakingly.

When Bruce saw Fertitta's non-smiling face, Bruce also showed an innocent and harmless smile in his direction.

Others find it inexplicable, they don't know what Bruce is thinking now.

After greeting his "godfather" Paul Allen, Bruce is also preparing to enter his team's special box for the draft.

But before entering the box door, Bruce was caught by the old Nelson.

At this time, many people are looking to Bruce's side. These managements are not stupid. They all know that the Golden State Warriors want Chris Weber. Old Nelson can only get it through trade.

No way, Bruce winked at his "two generals", and then went to the Golden State Warriors private box with old Nelson to chat.

"Bruce, according to the previous agreement between our two teams, Chris Webber was selected as the No. 1 pick, and the rookie was selected by the team. Would you please give me a good word?"

As soon as he entered the dedicated box of the Golden State Warriors, Bruce saw several senior executives waiting inside.

Many of them are still chief assistant Popovich. The coaching team of the Golden State Warriors is completely top in the NBA. How did that **** performance last season come out?

Bruce was extremely puzzled.

But this does not prevent Popovich from staring at Bruce with a strange look.

The old Nelson, who came in later, also acted very eagerly, because he did not report the league's deal, and he could repent or trade with other teams at any time.

Without really getting Chris Weber, Old Nelson felt unsure.

"Mr. Nelson, I have to go back and discuss this with General Manager Mickey. After all, he is responsible for the team's draft and trades. I will ask him later and I will tell you, okay?"

As soon as Bruce came in and sat on the sofa in the box, he picked up the drink on the table and drank it, completely ignoring himself as an outsider.

"Well, I'll wait for your notice."

"Mr. Nelson, as long as you don't change the bargaining chip negotiated with me, then you can rest assured that if I don't have any other skills, the promise I made will not change."

As far as Bruce said, the old Nelson really wouldn't doubt it, because Bruce this stinky boy speaks for words, but it is recognized in New York.

I still remember that at the first reception in 1990, the brat said that he subsidized the supplies of the slums every year, and Bruce has persisted in the same way over the past few years.

As for Bruce's heavy commitment, the old Nelson believed it.

Old Nelson nodded, and then motioned to Bruce, you can get out of here, bastard.

Believe it and believe it, but the old Nelson still sees Bruce upset. This time he robbed the Warriors and almost didn't make him angry. Just that, I don't want to give this little **** a good face.

Of course, Bruce wouldn't make himself boring, patted his little ass, and left without a dust.

Before leaving, I glanced at Popovich who had been silent in the box. This guy is Bruce's future rival!

Old Nelson’s coaching IQ didn’t say anything, but his EQ was slightly lower.

Popovich is different. This guy is at the same level as Jerry West of the Lakers. Otherwise, why would a small team like the Spurs be able to build a dynasty with a small team like the Spurs in the past.

Just do it, Bruce will not underestimate this opponent.

...

After Bruce left, Popovich finally spoke.

"Mr. Nelson, we shouldn’t agree to the New York Hans’ deal. Obviously, the other party is robbing us. From the content of the Bruce’s deal, we can see that the draft he chose must be a big year. Picked a better rookie than Chris Weber."

"Hey, Greg, don't I know this? Or do you think I'm confused?"

"Do you know why the boss insists that I bring Chris Webb back to Oakland?"

Popovich shook his head. He is just a chief assistant now and can't participate in the team's high-level affairs.

"The boss is going to sell the team in the next two years. He needs to rely on star players like Chris Webber to increase the value of the team. Only then can the team be sold to the opponent at a high price. So what will happen to the team in the future? He doesn't care, even if he trades all the picks, it doesn't matter, because then it won't matter to him."

Also, encountering a scam boss will make the bottom management alive, the most typical is the Clippers.

Old Nelson sighed and told his old partner the secrets of the team.

Popovich remained silent after listening.

At the same time, this also strengthened Popovich’s confidence in leaving the Golden State Warriors. He must have the right to speak for the team. Like old Nelson, he is too aggrieved. Moreover, the Golden State Warriors team has begun to rotten. , And continue to do it, I am afraid that it will not be able to turn over in a few years.
