Chapter 109 Conspiracy the Celts
"Celtics...can't do it!"
Auerbach is also very frustrated at this moment. He has determined that the Celtics can't trade Kobe. With Bruce's trust and sugar-coated bombs, anyone will be as loyal as a dog.
"Old man, actually you don't have to be depressed. I can make a promise to you here. I will help the Celtics when the time is right, no matter who is the owner of the team."
Bruce also heard the old man's helplessness from Auerbach's conversation, so he had no choice but to say it in passing.
At least this is what Mr. An wants!
"Bruce, why, why do you want to help the Celtics..."
There is no reason. When Auerbach heard that Bruce was willing to help the Celtics in the future, the first thing that came to his mind was what Bruce wanted to do. He was not related to the Celtics, and even related to the Han people.
They are both in the same division, and the two sides should have a hostile relationship. Why would Bruce still help the Celtics?
"Because of you, Mr. Auerbach, I really don't have much affection for the Celtics, but because of you, you have dedicated your life to this team. That's why I admire you. You are great. You have contributed to Boston."
This city has brought many precious treasures..."
Sometimes, these sad topics are easy to move people, and Bruce is no different. What he said comes from the heart.
"Thank you Bruce, thank you for helping the Celtics in the future. I am already old and won't live much longer. I can't see it anymore, but I am willing to believe in you..."
Auerbach chose to believe in Bruce and his sincerity. After all, Bruce would not fool him, a bad old man who was about to be buried.
"By the way, except for Alonzo Mourning and Kobe Bryant, everyone else on the Han Chinese team can be traded with the Celtics. If necessary in the future, if the Celtics can pay a good price, I will
Not opposed to trading others to the Celtics."
In fact, Bruce really wanted to tell the old man to let the Celtics give up Tim Duncan, because the Celtics were destined to not get him, but he swallowed the words.
No one knew that the old man went around doing favors in order to get Tim Duncan, but the result was not to make a wedding dress for the Spurs. As for the old man's anger against the league later, only Bruce, a reborn man, knew about it.
After ending the phone call with Auerbach, Bruce continued to blow the river breeze on the balcony.
In fact, Bruce's idea of helping the Boston Celtics did not fool Auerbach.
He knew that after losing Tim Duncan in the 1997 draft next year, Auerbach would completely step down from the stage of the Celtics that he had dedicated his life to.
Celtics owner Paul Gaston took over the Celtics from his father in 1993. It was a dark moment when the team was going from prosperity to decline. Gaston did his best to revive the great dynasty and destroy the "Red Jackets"
The management and coaching staff of "Bishop" and special assistant Larry Bird became a decoration. After several seasons, the record was still poor. Larry Bird waved his hand and left Boston forever, leaving the Celtics alone.
Taste the humiliation.
After Auerbach completely stepped down, Rick Pitino became the head coach and the Celtics became a "fish belly" in the following years.
Rick Pitino set fire to last season's lineup as soon as he came on stage. The Celtics laid off 7 players, including captain Rick Fox and center Dino Radega after he fractured.
The knee was returned, and after friendly negotiation, Radega returned to Europe. In the next three years, the Celtics' salary space will pay 2.5 million for this. After leaving 8 old people, the team still has to let Pitino handle the remaining holes.
Find a way to fill it in.
Even Chauncey Billups, the "No. 3 overall pick" in 1997, was traded away before he played a full season, which shows the extent of the Celtics' confusion.
Not to mention Rick Pitino's many "sexy" transactions during his time with the Celtics. Only you can't understand it, but no one can think of it.
If you don’t seek death, you won’t die!
The reason why it became like this is that in order to get Tim Duncan, the Celtics first wasted two years to make things worse, and then began to make "bad character" transactions in the following years.
Why……
Tim Duncan is doing a lot of harm to people!
Even Bruce doesn't dare to say that if he performs poorly, he will definitely get the No. 1 pick. Who are you, Celtics, to be so confident?
To put it bluntly, Stern gave Bruce the No. 1 pick in 1993 for free. Do you really think Bruce has "magic hands"?
As for Yao Ming's draft year later, Bruce will definitely go to the league headquarters to talk to Stern in person. Yao Ming's No. 1 pick must be in the hands of the Han team. Even if they don't get the No. 1 pick in the end, Bruce can let Stern
Force your opponent to trade the No. 1 pick.
Bruce has this confidence. If you want to know who can have a huge impact in the hands of Yao Ming, it can only be Bruce's New York Hans. Stern himself knows this!
Therefore, it is difficult to draw the No. 1 pick. Don’t think that the league can give it to whomever it wants. In addition to luck, it also depends on who is operating it...
Now that Bruce has decided to help the Celtics, he will definitely not make a loss-making deal.
During the turmoil of the Celtics in the next few years, Bruce also wanted to take advantage of it, such as Chauncey Billups...
He is a good organizer, so he can still handle it.
Rick Pitino is such a good guy. A head coach who only wants mature players to perform and doesn't want to spend time training rookies. In his hands, Bruce can definitely reap a lot of benefits.
In addition, Bruce still has to wait patiently for the opportunity, why?
Change of dynasty!
It’s time for the Celtics to change owners!
Even Bruce, the boss' candidate, has already been found for the Celtics.
Bruce has long been interested in pulling the Celtics into his camp.
The "Triangle Center Incident" made Bruce completely black. In the entire league boss meeting, except for his "godfather" Paul Allen who sincerely helped him, everyone else looked at Bruce.
It's a joke, or it's from Larry Miller's camp, or there's even someone who's adding insult to injury.
I really think I am a kid who is easy to bully!
Bruce has been in the league for several years. He doesn't have many friends, but he has a lot of enemies.
Since you want to play, I will play with you to the fullest...
I also came to form my own "small team".
The West already has three allies: the SuperSonics, Mavericks, and Rockets, so Bruce has no plans to "place" another one in the West.
As for the east, as far as we know, Bruce doesn't have a single ally in the east, but he does have a few mortal enemies.
Riley's Heat and Fatty's Knicks are Bruce's strong rivals in the East.
So Auerbach suddenly came to Bruce, and Bruce suddenly thought that he could also find some allies in the east.
The Celtics, who are in the Eastern Conference and are in the same division, are his first targets.
Bruce knew that in the future, a young entrepreneur from Massachusetts would jointly buy a team and create a "dynasty". This person was a Celtics fan in the early stage. Boston was originally the capital of Massachusetts, and he bought Kyle.
Special people are also natural.
If he gets in early like Cuban did...
