Legendary Basketball Tycoon

"From now on, the leader of the team's locker room will be Kobe Bryant, Alonzo Mourning is responsible for assisting Kobe."

Although Bruce said to Mourning, his eyes turned towards the players in the team, because he himself also knew very well that when Kobe was the leader of the team at the beginning, there must be many people in the team who were dissatisfied. Mourning was there to take care of him. He was also relieved.

If these people were really not intuitive, then Bruce wouldn't mind removing them one by one.

"Well, here is the time for media reporters to ask questions."

...

Media reporters who have been waiting for a long time are already eager to try.

One by one began to scramble to booze.

"Hello, I am a reporter from the New York Times. I would like to ask, why did you arrange Kobe, a rookie who just entered the league, to be the leader of the team?"

This reporter friend’s question is particularly acute.

At the same time, it also represents the voice of all the players of the New York Hans, including Kobe himself, because they all want to know why?

Can I say that Kobe's global influence will not lose to the old gangsters?

Can I say that Kobe's future strength is in the top ten in NBA history?

I really can't say it. I really say it. Tomorrow there will be reports that Bruce is a delusional person in newspapers and magazines across the United States.

"In fact, we paid attention to Kobe in advance when he participated in the McDonald's All-Star Game. After watching his game video repeatedly, I think Kobe should be given a chance to try out alone."

"I'm very happy that he came to New York to participate in the team's solo trial, and then because of Mike's affirmation of Kobe's performance, at the same time Mike also feels that Kobe has leadership skills, everyone already knows the rest, I use Kobe was selected for the 4th pick and Mike was allowed to train him alone, just to try to make Kobe adapt to the strength of the league as soon as possible. After all, he is still a high school student."

"..."

Bruce thought for a while, organized the language to speak.

Anyway, there is only one principle, that is, you cannot expose yourself to know the future, so the bragging is still to brag, anyway, bragging is not dead...

And Bruce's explanation was not unanimously recognized by those who wanted to be the boss of the New York Hans.

But looking at Kobe's appearance, he might approve it, let him go!

Lao Tzu is the boss, whoever wants to be the boss of the team will be allowed to be the boss of the team. You group of wage earners still want to turn the world over...

"Okay, let's ask the following reporter friend to ask questions."

It's really hanging, almost round, Bruce feels cold sweat on his back even though he is wearing the "Black Storm" shirt.

"Hello, I am a reporter from Sports Illustrated. I would like to ask Mr. Mitch Kupchak, the general manager, whether the current operations in the New York Hans draft and the subsequent transactions of the team indicate that the New York Hans is in the new Will the season be overthrown and rebuilt, ready to compete for Tim Duncan next year?"

This question is the same as the previous one. It's a pit. If you don't want to rebuild the team and fight for Tim Duncan, then why do you trade some of the team's players?

General manager Mitch Kupchak nodded. After all, a fool can see it, selling the league’s top scorer like Jamal Marshburn and a player with a decent defense like Bruce Bowen, no matter You can't make any sense, they will all assume that you rebuild and fight for Duncan.

"I can only tell everyone here that rebuilding does not necessarily mean putting up bad. Our New York Hans only has one goal in the new season and that is to be the rookie and the veteran to win the battle."

"I don’t know what the team’s performance will be at that time. To be honest, I don’t know now. As for whether the team is going to compete for Tim Duncan, then I will definitely return to you now. If possible, our New York Hans also want to make it. Tim Duncan joins the team!"

As early as the New York Hans completed the configuration of the team, Bruce approached the team general manager Mitch Kupchak and head coach Paul Allen to discuss in depth the "tactical policy" of the new season, that is, let the newcomers Get on top as soon as possible and let the veteran coach during training, so that newcomers like Kobe and O'Neal can grow up as soon as possible.

Of course, Tim Duncan wants everyone, but Bruce knows that even if he plays badly, the league won't let the New York Hans win the No. 1 pick.

The reason is very simple. To be precise, the league said that Stern didn’t want the Bruce’s New York Hans to be exceptionally strong. In recent years, Bruce has been doing things crazy in the league, especially the "Triangle Center Incident" has already made Stern treat him. Be vigilant, after all, there is a tiger lying next to him. Although this tiger hasn't grown into a big worm, the young tiger is also lethal!

Although they can't get it, Bruce won't let them spread out so bluntly, and they have to confuse the water in the league.

To be honest, the reporters off the court are all professionals in the industry. They don't believe Mickey Kupchak's earlier statement that reconstruction is not tantamount.

They also have a very thorough look at the current lineup of the New York Hans. It can be said that if Mitch Kupchak just said that the newcomers are the mainstay and the veterans are assisted, then the result of waiting for the Hans will be next season. Continue to miss the playoffs.

In this way, it is not as good as the beginning. If you are lucky, you may get the No. 1 pick next year and choose Tim Duncan.

Tim Duncan, who will be graduating next year, will have just finished his four-year graduating honorably. If Tim Duncan can be selected, then the journey of this young team will truly begin!

...

After the player meeting was over, the on-site media reporters invited by the New York Hans began to report frantically on the New York Hans news.

"The New York Hans set sail in the new season, the rookies are on the top, the result is unknown?"

"Shock! The new captain of the New York Hans was born-Kobe Bryant, the No. 4 pick in this year's draft!"

"With a small boost, the goal of the New York Hans in the new season!"

"The general manager of the New York Hans professed that Tim Duncan would join the team!"

All in all, the Bruce New York Hans have dominated the headlines of the experience version these days.

When these newspapers and magazines were sold all over the United States, many people chose to laugh at the New York Hans.

Playing big with small, it would be strange if you can win 20 games in the new season.

Each of these people chose to wait to see Bruce watch the New York Hans jokes.

In the NBA headquarters nearest to the New York Hans, Stern of course also saw media reports, but unlike other people who watch jokes, he is now very much looking forward to the youth storm of the New York Hans. The team is full of freshness and can train the team's newcomers as soon as possible. Perhaps the New York Hans may get nothing in the past or two years, but as long as this continues, the future can be expected.

Compared with the New York Knicks, who are mainly veterans and reclaim local players, Stern still supports the New York Hans of the Blues. The main reason is that the Knicks' lineup is too old. This lineup was okay in the past few years. If you wait If Ewing is not at his peak, then the Knicks are down.

After all, Stern has been in the league for such a long time. He has seen many teams and he knows that once the top star of the team has passed or even retired, the team will at least regress by a few years or even ten. several years.

Only fresh blood combined with the assistance of a veteran is the standard for a team to stand among the rich for a long time.

Stern put down the newspaper in his hand, got up and walked towards the Long Island Garden Arena in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching silently...

I hope the New York Hans can bring a different surprise to the league!

The player meeting is finally over. Bruce thinks that the next step is to arrange for the team to participate in the summer league. After a long time without systematic practice, Bruce is also afraid that the players of the team will not be able to play North, so take this opportunity to let them get together. It is also good to practice the team's tactics.

In this summer league, Kobe will usher in his first game with the New York Hans.

Everyone is looking forward to Kobe's performance in the summer league. After all, as Jordan's "successor", now with the identity of the captain of the New York Hans, this has attracted everyone's attention even more.
