Chapter 107 Cardinals of Telelink
Not to mention, Auerbach has dominated the league for so many years, not to mention that he has met more than 100 bosses over the years, maybe 50 bosses.
He had only seen little Bruce in his life, but he never thought that this young Bruce, who was still a primary school student, would dare to challenge the boss of a league team.
You know, American elementary school students are still having fun at this age.
If Bruce is an adult now, then Auerbach will not value a person so much. But as for Bruce, he can take charge of a team at this age and stir up troubles in the league. This can make him
I was shocked.
If the Celtics want Kobe, it will be difficult. Bruce's current ability is beyond the scope of an adult.
In his opinion, he already belongs to the level of "sophisticated" middle-aged people. At least young people can't force the owner of a team to apologize in person, no matter how aggressive they are. Look at Larry Rice, who offended Bruce.
Looking at Le's current situation, Auerbach suddenly shuddered. If the current Celtics management were to negotiate a deal with this middle-aged man, how could it possibly succeed...
"It's not bad. I'm about to graduate from elementary school. After graduation, I will study abroad in the United States."
Bruce also had little regard for the old man and said whatever came to his mind.
"Oh, I want to study in the United States. It's great. Have you chosen a school? I'm familiar with New York and Boston..."
Auerbach wanted to come to Bruce. Since he wanted to study in the United States, he would definitely choose a local high school in New York. After all, Bruce's Han Chinese team is in New York, so there is nothing wrong with taking care of him personally.
Otherwise, Auerbach has dedicated his whole life to the Celtics, and he is still worrying about the Celtics when he is old.
The reason why I mentioned Boston is mainly to give little Bruce more choices. If little Bruce can be arranged to Boston, Bruce will definitely inherit the love of Boston when he grows up. After that, Kyle
If something happens to the special person, Bruce will help him because of his "incense" of studying in Boston. (This refers to trade and help within the draft)
(Is this the meaning of "incense love"? Auerbach is not an Oriental. He heard this word from his Chinese neighbors who live nearby. If it is wrong, please leave a message)
"Oh, thank you for your concern. My godfather has almost taken care of the school matters for me. It's Lakeside School in Seattle!"
After all, Bruce is still a child. Even though he now has the mind of a 30-year-old, the nature of a child cannot be stopped. He is poor and careless. If he is proud of anything, he is just like a person showing off.
“Lakeside School in Seattle?”
"No, little Bruce, why did you go to Seattle to study? Shouldn't you be studying in New York?"
Auerbach almost forgot that Paul Allen, the richest owner in the league today, is Bruce's "godfather"!
This guy is very powerful in his own right, and with such a rich "godfather", he will never be the same in the United States...
It's just that Auerbach looked confused at this moment. He really couldn't understand what was going on in Bruce's mind. Why didn't he go to study in New York instead of studying in Seattle in the northwest? Isn't this looking for the distance instead of the near?
Or do Easterners like this "hell" mode? Don't care about your own team, or do you still want to continue remote monitoring?
"Yes, my father personally took care of the school affairs. It is his and Mr. Gates' alma mater. You also know that my father has no children. I am his son, so I decided to stay in Seattle these years to honor my father...
…”
Indeed, if it were not for Paul Allen, Bruce would definitely choose to attend Horace Mann High School in New York City.
Whether he is personally supervising the Tianhan Empire Company and the New York Hans, or making plans to enter Columbia University in the future.
Horace Mann High School has always been Bruce's first choice after scouting New York.
In the future, he will also arrange for talents of different levels to enter this high school.
(You can use Baidu to introduce Horace Mann High School yourself, I won’t introduce too much here)
Auerbach didn't expect that Bruce was still a "filial son". He really didn't understand the "father-son relationship" between Paul Allen and Bruce.
If we were in the United States, this kind of thing would be commonplace. Even if a son fails to support his parents, the worst he can do is go to jail or receive a fine from education. No one would think of it as a moral issue at all?
And in the East, China to be precise, if you are not a filial son, believe it or not, you will be criticized by others when you go out...
This is the difference between East and West.
It is also the reason why Bruce went to Seattle Lakeside School to report.
"Well, now that Paul has taken care of it for you, I won't worry about it. Just say it, Bruce, Wele to the Ues!"
"thank you!"
"By the way, Mr. Auerbach, what do you want from me?"
Bruce saw that the preparations were almost done and all the gantry formations that needed to be set up were in place. It was time to get down to business.
"Oh, kid, it's like this, I want to discuss with you the issue of trading Kobe..."
Bruce patiently listened to Mr. Auerbach's "some" speech, and Bruce did not interrupt the old man's conversation in the middle.
Originally, Bruce could have told Auerbach directly that Kobe Bryant would not be traded, but because he was Auerbach, and precisely because he was Auerbach, Bruce chose to listen carefully to the old man's "speech."
"Old man, regarding Kobe's transaction, please forgive me for not agreeing. Please don't be impatient and listen to what I have to say first..."
"Then tell me."
When Auerbach heard that Bruce was unwilling to trade, he became anxious and almost wanted to ask why.
The NBA is a business league, and player transactions are very common. Even ancient superstars like Chamberlain or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar have been traded. Even those stars who belong to one man, one city, won't be traded?
Take Jordan and Olajuwon, for example. These two have been playing for their own teams for more than ten years. Are there no rumors of trades between them? I'm afraid not. Either these two don't have enough trading chips.
He had been traded away long ago.
I have been in the league for such a long time and have seen all kinds of people. How can Kobe be special?
Auerbach believes that as long as he has enough chips, Bruce will definitely be tempted.
"Sir, I want to ask how you plan to position Kobe if you get him. I mean the status of the team."
"What do you mean, the status of the team...you mean the captain? Yes, Kobe is the captain of the Han team now, but if he is with the Celtics, the captain must be Tim. Only he is qualified to be the captain of the Boston Celtics.
The king!"
That's right, Auerbach decided that Tim Duncan was the boss. Even if Kobe Bryant's performance this season was amazing, he could only give Tim Duncan the second job.
It has to be said that Auerbach's current thinking still exists in ancient times. Yes, the NBA is still dominated by big forwards until now. The old man must be right to make this choice. Besides, Tim Duncan's leadership is not bad either.
"Old man, it's even more impossible for you to get Kobe."
"Why?"
"The reason is very simple. Will Kobe, who is used to being a leader, be willing to be someone else's second-in-command?"
Hitting the nail on the head, Bruce's words shocked Auerbach.
Indeed, Auerbach is interested in Kobe's scoring ability. If the Celtics draft Tim Duncan next year, then Kobe + Duncan will be equivalent to a small Jordan + Olajuwon. This can continue
