Legendary Basketball Tycoon

The coaching team has finished introducing.

After Mitch Kupchak finished speaking, it was Bruce's turn to speak again.

"Because Alonzo Mourning has submitted an application for the captain's resignation to the team for personal reasons, and the team's management has agreed. Next, I will announce the captain and vice captain of the New York Hans."

Mourning is actually unwilling to resign the position of captain of the New York Hans, but as his kidney disease becomes more and more serious, he will definitely be short of the team's games in the next few years, so Mourning and his family will consider again and again. Decided to resign as captain to Bruce in advance.

After all, the captain of the team represents the image of a team, as well as the leader in the locker room. With such an important position, what do you think it is to let someone who has been running to the hospital throughout the season continue to be the captain.

In fact, all the old players in the team knew about Mourning's situation, so when Mourning proposed to resign as captain of the New York Hans, they could understand it and would not be too shocked.

As for the new players who joined the team, they felt quite surprised. They encountered a captain vacancy when they first joined the New York Hans. Do they also have a chance to be the captain?

It must be impossible, Bruce wouldn't just press the captain on someone casually.

It stands to reason that the captain of the team must be taken by a highly qualified team.

It's just a little embarrassing here for the New York Hans.

Everyone will now look at the current qualification structure framework of the New York Hans to fully understand.

Excluding Mourning, if it is really based on qualifications, the captain of the team is Sam Perkins, a veteran who has just renewed his contract with the team.

Only Sam Perkins has been following the team for a long time, and the players who have participated in the expansion draft since the establishment of the team have been traded one by one by the Blues over the years.

It can be said that Bruce changed the team again.

As for the others, whether it is Kidd or Garnett, their qualifications are still pretty close, and the rest is not to mention the many veterans of the new team, all of them are old men who are about to retire. , They are not qualified to be the captain of the Han team at all.

It's finally the crucial moment to announce who will be the captain of the team.

"The candidate for the captain of the New York Hans in the new season is..."

Bruce paused, smiled and looked down at the expressions of all the players on the stage.

Not to mention, the expressions of these players are really rich, some are excited, some are plain, some are anxious, and some are lonely...

"The captain is Kobe Bryant, everyone congratulations!"

One of the people below was shocked.

The prince is not kidding, let Kobe be the captain of the New York Hans?

He is just a rookie who has just joined the team. He is still a high school student...

Even if the kid Kobe is trained by Jordan himself, he can't be the captain as soon as he comes...

Why?

Why did Kobe's kid be so affectionate by the prince?

At this time, most of the players on the team couldn't figure it out.

Especially the radicals headed by Kidd and Garnett, these people must all want to compete for the position of captain, and they can understand if they can't figure it out.

There is another kind of pragmatism headed by Aaron McGee and O'Neal. Their idea is quite simple, that is, they don’t have the leadership ability themselves, and it’s better not to take up such activities as the boss. Burn your body.

The remaining players are veterans represented by Sam Perkins. These people have only one principle, that is, anyone can be the captain. Anyway, I just spend time in the team.

When Kobe heard Bruce publicly announce that he was the captain of the New York Hans.

He himself became stunned all of a sudden, oh the conscience of heaven and earth, he didn't expect to get involved in the position of captain of the New York Hans team now!

Although this position does have a great "temptation", he certainly wants to be the boss of the team, but he also thinks very clearly that he is indeed not qualified.

But Kobe himself never expected that Bruce actually made him the captain of the team.

Not to mention that Bruce gave him the keys to the villa face to face after he was selected by the No. 4 pick in the draft, and there is also the kindness that he personally let Jordan teach himself during this time with his own favor. He was very moved and wanted to win the championship for the Blues and the New York Hans.

Now he has to give him the role of captain of the New York Hans team. Bruce is really...

Prince prince, how can Kobe, how can I...

The soldier died for his confidant, I, Kobe Bryant, will follow you in this life!

Players have different opinions, and the media reporters at the meeting are now quite united, because they finally have a topic to write about now. To be honest, the changes in the coaching staff of the previous team are related to us. You love to change, and you can change every day if you have money. They don't care about it. It's just that the candidate for the captain is the news now. This is the big news they have been waiting for!

Even the media reporters didn't expect that Bruce, the little boss, would be ingenious this time, and actually lead the recent trendy Kobe as the captain of the Han Chinese team.

You have to know that there is no rookie in NBA history who became the boss of the team as soon as he entered the team. Even "Magic" Johnson was so amazing in his rookie season that he only became the boss of the Lakers in the second season. , You said that if Kobe wins the Bruce's affirmation through his performance in his rookie season and becomes the team captain, then they have nothing to say.

As soon as Bruce came up, he appointed Kobe Bryant, the No. 4 rookie this year, as the captain, which not only broke NBA history, but also provided them with a big hit.

The media reporters who were worried about uncontroversial topics were all excited at once, and each of them was ready to raise more exciting topics in a public interview for a while.

"Although Alonzo Mourning has resigned as captain, he will always be a good leader in the team, a big brother, so I announced that Alonzo Mourning will become the deputy captain of the New York Hans. Congratulations! "

Unlike Kobe, the "back door" captain, Mourning's qualifications are the highest in the team, and it is unmatched by anyone on the team, so when the Bruce chose to let Mourning be elected as the team's deputy captain. , Everyone responded with warm applause.

Mourning in the audience burst into tears suddenly, and he did not expect that the prince would still make him the team's deputy captain after he voluntarily resigned as the captain.

In tears, Mourning recalled the little by little he had with the prince, from the talk of the prince when he came to the team to participate in a separate trial training in the draft, to the tears of the prince who reimbursed himself for the entire season in the All-Star Game, and then to this group fight Bruce's comfort after being told that he was suffering from kidney disease in the hospital after the assault...

All of this can only explain one thing, that is, that he followed the prince, that is the right thing, the prince is the best boss in the league, and he will have to work for the prince in the next life...

Of course, Bruce also saw Mourning’s tears, and he also felt it. Even if Mourning himself did not want to continue to occupy the position of captain of the team, he could not chill the heart of the man who was loyal to him, after all. Mourning is the first player he has been selected in the draft since the establishment of his team. There are countless "firsts" in his life that need to be remembered, and Mourning is worth his lifetime!

As for Kobe's current expression, it was also expected by Bruce. Of course, he can see Kobe's entanglement at the moment. I am afraid that after the player meeting is over, he will find him and offer to resign as captain.

It's true that Kobe's current qualifications are a big problem.

After all, there are still many people below who will disagree with him, thinking that Kobe is just a clown who "walks through the back door" to get where he is today.

"I know you might think that the team's management is more or less nepotism..."

"But I'm here to tell you clearly again that the things I decided by Bruce will not change, and it will be set if it is set. No one can refute it. If you feel that you are not convinced that you have not been the captain, then take the initiative to go to the general manager. Mitch Kupchak, go and apply to leave."

"I don't want to see things happen in my team that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Everyone wants to be the boss, so I don't want to affect the unity of the team's locker room with such a mood. If I knew it, I will send him away without hesitation."

"New York is a metropolis. I believe that even if we send away those who disrupt the unity of the team's locker room, the team can still find someone to replenish it as quickly as possible."

Indeed, with the market power of metropolises such as New York and Los Angeles, are you still afraid of lack of people? There are many licking dogs coming up to kneel and licking themselves when the front feet send people away.

"So I hope everyone will not challenge my bottom line, understand!"

Bruce spoke to the people in the audience very domineering and majestic.
