Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Chapter 49: Chat with Stern on the phone (seeking recommendation)

The next afternoon, in the Long Island Villa, New York.

Bruce opened his eyes slowly, and then slowly woke up from the Simmons that made him comfortable.

Looking at the rendered ceiling in the villa, Bruce seemed to be still dreaming, and he is back to New York again!

It's not true!

Bruce put on his pajamas obstructively and walked from the bedroom to the living room, ready to call the servant in the villa to make lunch for him.

He was so hungry. After watching the injured players of the Hans team, he immediately went back to the villa to take the jet lag. Calculating the time, he has not eaten for more than 10 hours.

My stomach is grunting now.

"Auntie Cheng, do you have anything to eat, I'm starving to death?"

The housekeeper in the villa is a Chinese woman, at the level of an aunt. His name is Cheng Huizhen, who Bruce "specially sought" in China.

Speaking of Cheng Huizhen, the story is longer. Anyway, if you put it plainly, you are a hard-failed person. If you say too much, it will be tears!

At that time, Bruce saw that she was pitiful to be single, so she took in Cheng Huizhen. In addition, Cheng Huizhen herself wanted to leave the sad place to live in a new environment, so she was sent to New York by Bruce.

In order to repay Bruce for saving her life, Cheng Huizhen, who is single, childless, and familyless, takes care of all aspects of Bruce's life in the United States.

Relive again, Bruce regarded life as more important than anything else, saying that he was afraid of death or timid. Anyway, Bruce will count everything he does now.

So such a person is very tired in life, but there is no way. The United States is not peaceful everywhere, and they will worry about their own life when they go out.

To take precautions, Bruce must make sure that there is no fire in the backyard. If someone who is unfamiliar with him is found to be the housekeeper, God knows whether there will be cameras or the like in the house in the future.

In this way, Cheng Huizhen, the "chosen one" won the lottery. You know, Bruce has spent a lot of money to care for these conditions that private detectives across the country are looking for!

If the housekeeper is unfaithful, you will still worry about your personal safety and privacy when you go home.

So lonely, single, no children, and no family are necessary conditions for Bruce to find a housekeeper.

"Little master, are you awake? Do you want to sleep again?"

"Little Master, do you eat Chinese food or Western food?"

Cheng Huizhen, a conscientious butler, is still doing quite well.

"Wake up, I am young and recover quickly."

"Auntie Cheng, let’s cook Chinese food. I can’t have enough western food. I want to eat braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs..."

I ordered 4-5 kinds of dishes, all meat dishes, which is almost enough, anyway, I eat it by myself.

"Fine, young master wait a while, Aunt Cheng will arrange for someone to do it right away."

Aunt Cheng remembered the menu and left the living room.

Bruce is very boring in the living room, anyway, these dishes can't be made for a while, let's watch TV first.

After a while, Cheng Huizhen appeared in the living room again.

"By the way, young master, many people called during your rest time, and I finally said that you were still running jet lag and refunded."

"Who are there?"

"Let me see?"

Although Aunt Cheng speaks English, she is in grade after all, so she can't remember so many names.

Open the notebook and tell Bruce while reading it.

"Mr. Mickey, Miss Angel, Mr. Larry Miller, Mr. Jerry Sloan..."

"Oh, and also, Mr. David Stern, the president of the NBA, also called, asking you to call him immediately after you wake up!"

"Okay, I know!"

After that, Aunt Cheng went to urge food again, and the young master must be very hungry if he hasn't eaten for so long.

Unexpectedly, so many people came to me during my jet lag time!

Bruce thought leisurely.

Mickey Kupchak must be looking for me because of the team.

Angel approached me basically to deal with Larry Miller in the late stage, and wanted to ask how to proceed.

As for Larry Miller looking for me, he must be unable to stand it anymore. He came to beg for mercy?

Coach Sloan's call is not here to intercede, is it?

In the end, Uncle Si’s phone number must be known to everyone in the heart of Sima Zhao, who wanted Lao Tzu and Larry Miller to reconcile, for sure!

Forget it, call Uncle Si first, lest the uncle say that he doesn't respect the old and love the young.

"Hello, is that Mr. President?"

Bruce picked up the phone that had been turned off a long time ago, opened it, and dialed Stern's private number.

"Little guy, it's me."

"You woke up!"

Stern would also cautiously talk to Bruce this time.

It is incredible to let the president of an alliance answer the other party so carefully. This kind of thing is basically impossible. Of course, Bruce is an exception.

Can you believe that the little lunatic Bruce is going to shame a tycoon like Larry Miller for the team?

This little madman is too awkward to report. He will retaliate wildly when he shoots the players of his team. If others provoke him, he will not shudder to think about it!

Stern didn't know this little madman too much before, so this would be a polite remark to Bruce tremblingly.

"Mr. President, you can tell me something!"

Bruce is a rare guess. It's better to be straightforward. I hate to use these Americans to sway their brains. I have a headache!

"That's it. The Alliance has already announced the punishments for both sides of this incident..."

"Hey, this is the matter, Mr. President, both the New York Hans and I are listening to you. Since the punishment decision has been announced, we all obey it!"

Bruce didn't even want to fight against the league. In fact, once this happened, Bruce felt that it was a good thing for the team.

Why do you say that?

Because when Bruce "robbed" the Golden State Warriors a few years ago, he won three unprotected picks in vain, including the unprotected first-round pick in 1996.

This is the golden generation of 96. I won't talk about the first few people. Anyone who goes out is all-star level.

As soon as this incident came out, well, the Bruce can make the team completely bad, the first round of the Hans + the first round of the Warriors, Bruce can at least get two great gods.

It's beautiful to think about it!

Stern didn't expect Bruce to be so straightforward. In that case, the next thing to say...

"Bruce, one more thing..."

"The matter between you and Larry, can you..."

Stern is also really hard to tell. After all, the league has punished two teams. This is the end of basketball. As for how you played Bruce and Larry Miller, it's all about the league. , Let alone his Stern matter.

After all, you are now in a business war. It's a basketball shit.

Although it was caused by basketball, Uncle Si never carried it. The reason Stern came to intercede with Larry Miller was definitely for the sake of the league.

God knows that all the media reports in the United States are staring at this. Good things don't go out, and bad things spread for thousands of miles. As long as the Bruce side does not end, the bad influence on the NBA will be greater and longer.

"Hey, Bruce, are you listening?"

Stern realized that he was talking for a long time, but Bruce didn't say a word. What do you mean?

"I'm listening, Mr. President, you know. Actually, this incident was caused by the Jazz at the beginning. The injuries of Alonzo and Kevin this time forced me to kill Larry Miller."

Uncle Si, you can't let me be reserved, you don't give it to me under the steps!

Lao Tzu is not cheap, I will handle your request immediately, then how will I manage the team in the future!

"Yes, I know it's wrong with the Jazz first, but..."

"Mr. President, listen to me first. Since you think it was caused by the Jazz, it will be easier."

"If you want me to stop, Larry Miller must apologize, as well as Utah Shuangsha must apologize, and must also apologize in newspapers, press conferences, and television media."

"Well, Bruce, are you a bit too much!"

Stern didn’t expect that Bruce, whom he hadn’t seen for two years, had actually changed. The previous Bruce was so fierce and cute. It’s okay not to say what Stern said, or at least he wouldn’t refuse, but you can take a look. Bruce now dared to resist.

The courage is too fat, who gave Bruce the courage.

Bring back the former "obedient" Bruce!

"Mr. President, it's not that I am unreasonable, or even that they deceive people too much."

"..."

"To be honest, during my absence in New York, there were cats and dogs everywhere to provoke me and the Tianhan Empire Company."

Understood, Stern heard "Tianhan Empire Company" and completely understood that Bruce did not specifically trouble him, but used Larry Miller to "kill the chicken and the monkey"!

During Bruce's absence in New York for the past two years, Stern knew that although Tianhan Empire had not received any attacks secretly, the company suffered considerable losses on the surface.

Although Americans are a free country, there are also many entrepreneurs and politicians who are quite xenophobic. Bruce, an Asian person, is an example.

These people don’t want Bruce’s yellow-skinned people to show off in the United States. Yu Gong and the others can’t make a living. Why can Bruce’s Tianhan Empire company have so much reputation? Yu Si, they look at such a big piece of fat. The reason for not eating, and the fact that Bruce himself is not there, it must be a crazy fire attack on the Tianhan Empire Company.

This incident caused Larry Miller to jump out, which happened to be a demonstration for Bruce.

Bruce just wanted these Americans to see how he retaliated wildly.

This is still part of his NBA team. Players on the team are injured. He can retaliate in this way. If he attacks the Tianhan Empire Company again, I really don't know what Bruce will do.

Stern, who had figured it out, said helplessly to Bruce: "I will make Larry Miller apologize. I hope you can stop at that time."

"Relax, Mr. President, I understand that I won't really kill Larry Miller, haha!"

Bruce was still thinking about talking and laughing with Stern at this time.

Really big heart!

Next, Bruce talked to Stern about the situation in China.

Whether it's the CBA league or NBA sponsorship, Bruce and Stern talked for more than half an hour.

After hanging up the phone, Bruce drooled while looking at the "rich lunch" arranged by Aunt Cheng.

But at this time he didn't eat right away. After comforting Rory's snarky Aunt Cheng, Bruce then called Coach Sloan.

You guessed it correctly, Coach Sloan interceded for Larry Miller, but Bruce still asked Larry Miller to apologize on the phone. Although he respects Coach Sloan, the principle issue cannot be corrected.

The call was not ok at all, and coach Sloan's stubborn temper, Bruce, was a thorough understanding, anyway, the two sides didn't agree much.

Things continue to be entangled!

After talking with Coach Sloan, Bruce also released the latest instructions with his men.

"Mickey, I will go to the team tomorrow, you arrange it, understand!"

"Angel, as long as Larry Miller doesn't apologize publicly, you can arrange for people to continue to pressure me. I don't believe it anymore. How long can he hold on!"

After getting everything done, Bruce enjoyed his "lunch" happily!
