Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Saturday, August 9, 1997, New York.

Today is China’s Qixi Festival (Eastern Valentine’s Day). Bruce still remembers that in his previous life, which was in the late 1990s, China had just become rich, and it was far less than 10 years later that those young people could be on the street. He has no scruples about confessing the point of his favorite object, so it is still in the conservative stage on the Chinese side.

Nowadays, celebrating the Qixi Festival in China is nothing more than giving gifts, meals, etc. There are movie theaters, but the prices are not too cheap. For ordinary Chinese in the late 1990s, who per capita was around 2000, go to the cinema to watch movies on the Qixi Festival. It is definitely more extravagant.

But in New York on the other side of the ocean, people don’t care what Qixi Festival or Qixi Festival is. Foreigners are still relatively open. It is still easy to see couples kissing on the street.

But today, Bruce, the kid, doesn't have any thoughts about encounters, because today is the weekend he must personally invite a very important person out of the mountain.

Early in the morning, Bruce woke up to the noise of the phone ringing. This was also a call from Han Chinese General Manager Mitch Kupchak. It was nothing more than to make Bruce, who was still in a lazy bed, get up early. He would have to be busy for a while. It's business!

No way, Bruce could only get up, drew the curtains, and stretched out to enjoy the fresh sunshine outside the villa.

From the bedroom, Bruce saw Mickey Kupchak waiting in the living room and Bob Myers, the new president's special assistant and legal counsel.

That’s right, it’s the “legendary” general manager of the Warriors. At this time, Bob Miles was still in a state of ignorance of basketball, that is, Bob Miles majored in law, so he was Bruce was recruited by the president's special assistant and concurrently as legal counsel.

A few days ago, Mickey Kupchak had already taken Yao Ming to complete the enrollment procedures at Regis High School, and Bruce also took advantage of that time to start a large-scale investigation of the Tianhan Empire Investment Company and all its industries. The cleaning of the area, of course, also includes the management of the New York Hans.

It can be said that the internal management of the Han people has also completed the exchange of blood. The new deputy general manager is Glenn Glenwald, the New Yorker, that is, the former Nuggets who the current Raptors Thomas wants to dig. vice president.

It's a pity that Bruce is very skilled. In addition, Glenn Glenwald is a New York native. Who would be willing to go abroad to be a deputy if he can work in his hometown? It is also the deputy general manager, given by Bruce. The benefits and benefits are really irresistible.

"Mickey, Bob, did you have breakfast?!" Bruce, who had just woke up, asked Hache.

The housekeeper of the villa has already prepared breakfast.

Both said that they had had breakfast, and they didn't look at what time it was now. It was almost 9 o'clock. The working hours here in New York were earlier than this, that is, Bruce is the boss who is qualified to sleep in.

When Bruce heard that the two had eaten and didn't say anything, he nodded and sat down at the table, sipping soy milk and eating Xiaolongbao.

I also have to go out today. Otherwise, Bruce's breakfast is usually soy milk with fresh meat sauce and big buns. After eating, it tastes like green onions.

Bruce is still not accustomed to the breakfast that foreigners eat, bacon, hamburgers, etc. Isn't China's soy milk fritters, big buns and noodles not fragrant!

The biggest advantage of Xiaolongbao is that it is small and juicy. There is nothing mess in it, just some **** water.

And this is also Bruce's favorite. When he ate outside in his previous life, he also got 2 yuan per cage, not many per cage, just six. But it is such a cage that Bruce misses very much. If you want to eat a cage of Xiaolongbao 10 years later, it will cost at least 5-6 yuan, and you can not eat it casually, you must have a special Xiaolongbao. You can only buy it at the store, otherwise you can only eat the big buns that most people chew outside.

How can the delicious food be cut off, so Bruce also brought two chefs who are familiar with Chinese food this time, and one of them is a chef who can make noodles.

After breakfast, Bruce tidyed up his appearance, took Mickey Kupchak and Bob Myers and the gifts he had prepared, and went out with a little excitement.

Mickey Kupchak had already made an appointment with Chuck Daly in advance, and he would visit him today.

And Chuck Daley, because Chuck Daley coached the New Jersey Nets in 1991, although he has retired, his home is not far from New Jersey. He currently lives in the suburbs of New York. The city is prosperous and noisy. Many retired old people in the league still prefer the cleanness of the countryside. For example, coach Sloan of the Jazz is the same. After the season, Coach Sloan will return to the country to work with his wife. .

This is a coach that Bruce respects from the bottom of his heart, and he must be cautious in this trip.

And this time Bruce didn’t invite those “legendary” general managers and head coaches to wear Hanfu like the first time he went to the United States to “three visits”, because Chuck Daley is more old-fashioned and he doesn’t like those fancy things. K. Daly seemed to show that Bruce was disrespectful of him when he came to visit him in "fancy clothes".

So Bruce changed into a suit this time, wearing a small suit, which looks absolutely like the second generation of the rich.

Although Bruce didn't like to wear such clothes, he had no choice but to show his sincerity.

…

We drove smoothly to the door of Coach Chuck Daley’s small villa in the suburbs, but Coach Chuck Daley’s family had already stood at the door to greet Bruce and his party.

Seeing this scene, Bruce took Mickey Kupchak and Bob Myers out of the car quickly, and Bruce greeted coach Chuck Daly's hand in person.

Coach Chuck Daley's family has been waiting for him early in the morning, which shows that Coach Chuck Daley pays more attention to Bruce.

People give you a face, you have to keep it, right.

Bruce saw the current state of coach Chuck Daley, and he was relieved a lot. As long as he didn't stop walking and said something clearly, he would be fine. At least he could coach the team for a few years. After all, he was so old. The old man came out to help him train the Chinese for several years. Bruce couldn’t bear it, right. Although the team has no performance requirements, coach Chuck Daley is very serious and responsible. Coach Chuck Daley is nearly 70 years old.
