Legendary Basketball Tycoon

While Bruce was still worrying about these two things, the phone rang again. When the phone rang, Bruce walked back to the study and picked up the phone and looked at it. Sure enough...

But this time it was not Mitch Kupchak who called but Stern.

Why is Stern calling at this point? !

Explain to me personally why the punishment of the Han is so miserable? !

Bruce couldn't help but yell.

Not to mention, Stern made this call precisely because of this. It stands to reason that Stern, the dictator, would not be able to give any team a reason as long as he announced the penalty decision. I would be punished. , What are the reasons? Lao Tzu’s decision is the reason. Stern is such an awesome person.

But this time is different. The Hans were punished too severely this time. Stern worried that China would directly give up this round of the series between the Hans and the Heat. At that time, the gains would not be worth the loss, and it was hard to wait until China sent a team to the United States. Propaganda reports have greatly increased the domestic promotion of the NBA brand in China. Nothing can happen at this time, so Stern wanted to call Bruce to keep the reports from China. The team, because Stern believes that only Bruce can speak on CCTV and can keep the reporting team, otherwise he would not call to explain himself.

This is also the reason. There are still many people in the reporting team who know the ball. They all know that Kobe and Mourning are basically out of the game after the suspension of the series. It is not very interesting to stay in the United States to report. Is it possible to broadcast the Heat 4: 0 Han people? CCTV talents are not so stupid. You must know that CCTV has always regarded the Han people as the home team to explain and support. Even the domestic fans in China agree to this. Oh, your league treats important players. Suspended, and then left us here to live broadcast how miserably our home team was swept out of the game, do we really think we are fools? ! CCTV is definitely unwilling to broadcast, the Chinese people least want to see their favorite team be bloodbathed.

Of course, the most important thing is that CCTV has not negotiated cooperation with the NBA at this time. In recent years, all the live broadcast rights have been given by Stern himself. CCTV did not spend a penny, so Stern is also anxious, in case CCTV What should I do if the live broadcast of the subsequent playoffs is interrupted in China?

Stern’s call to Bruce was also helpless. He himself couldn’t compromise. Besides, he even dared to punish Paul Allen. What's more, Bruce, this little kid, if it weren’t for being in China. To promote the NBA, he will not explain to Bruce.

But Bruce waited a while, and decided to call Stern. He wanted to see what Stern asked him to do. To be precise, he wanted to see how Stern explained to him.

"Hello! Mr. President, what can I do if you are looking for me so late?!" Of course, Bruce pretended to be innocent who didn't know anything.

Besides, if Mickey Kupchak hadn't called him ahead of time and told him about it, then he really didn't know about it.

So there is nothing wrong with it. Bruce can talk about it with Stern with an innocent face.

When Stern heard it, no, the idiot of Han Chinese general manager Mitch Kupchak didn't report yesterday to Bruce? !

This Chinese general manager Mitch Kupchak is too incompetent. If he were left in the league, I would have fired him.

Even if you don't tell your boss about such a big thing, is there any professional ethics? !

"Oh, good evening Bruce, I called today to tell you one thing."

Forget it, let's talk to Bruce's little kid, this will also facilitate communication for a while.

"You said you said." Bruce nodded and said.

Bruce probably knows something about what Stern said in a moment, but it doesn't matter. He is mainly observing the purpose of Stern's call.

"That's it. Yesterday the Hans and the Knicks played..." Stern and Mitch Kupchak just explained to Bruce what happened to the conflict between the New York duo yesterday.

Roughly speaking, there are not many discrepancies, but what is interpreted from Stern’s mouth is the fault of both sides, and Mitch Kupchak said that it is very biased, everything is the Knicks’ fault, if it is not the Knicks’ particular If there is a conflict with Mourning, then Kobe will not be affected later, anyway, all the charges are attributed to the opponent Knicks.

Stern still did not choose whom to target. He just attributed the conflict to both sides, so that it was like he appeared in front of Bruce in a fair and just image, and it also gave a certain effect to the following things to be told to Bruce. of.

(In general, just one sentence can give you an overview, that is, you can see Bruce, I have done fairness and justice, and even the punishment is the same, so the CCTV reporting team will continue to stay and you can handle it with Bruce.)

"Ah, such a thing happened, oh my goodness, this is the playoffs?!"

"Then my player is injured?! No, I have to call Mickey to ask." Bruce pretended to be surprised and eagerly asked.

Give Stern one, don't you know if it's true or not? !

Stern also believed that the idiot Mitch Kupchak hadn't reported the incident to Bruce in advance. It was so serious that Mickey Kupchak hadn't said that it was time to spank.

"Calm down on Bruce. The Han players were not injured, so normal fights occurred."

In this three-acre area of ​​New York, Stern can also make the New York duo be bullied. You must know that the New York duo is related to the face of the league. Anyone who has something wrong can bring bad to the league. Impacted.

As for the general fighting and fighting incidents, this is correct. If it is based on the fighting and fighting incidents that have occurred in the regular season over the years, it is indeed similar, but if it is compared with the "Jazz Wu" game. It's just a small one, and it's incomparable.

"Oh, that's good, it's good that they are not injured." Bruce continued to pretend to be relieved.

"By the way, I don't know why Mr. President gave me this call?!"

Judging from the tone of the Bruce's phone call, Bruce really cares about the Hans team. If the league's penalty decision is told to Bruce at this time, the consequences are really unpredictable...

"That's it. This morning the league announced the penalties for the Knicks and the Hans. You Hans..." Stern said hesitantly.

He’s not afraid of anything else, but that Bruce’s little madman went mad and went back to New York to find trouble with the Knicks. He himself was not afraid, because he knew that Bruce would not dare to get angry at himself if he couldn’t figure it out, so the only object was the instigator. The Knicks, and Bruce's usual man who must report to him might actually fly back to New York to find the Knicks to settle accounts!

"Hello! Hello! Are you still Bruce?!" Stern hadn't heard Bruce reply for a long time, and hurriedly asked.

He didn't know that Bruce had actually smiled and bent over on the phone. Bruce, who had known all this for a while, had to pretend to be very angry.
