Chapter 030 Change of thinking and the beginning of the CBA template(1/2)
Just when teams are in full swing updating their configurations, the two brothers, the New York Hans and Seattle SuperSonics, are also unambiguous.
The two teams also began to quietly update their teams.
Let’s talk about the Seattle SuperSonics first.
Paul Allen, who just jumped out of the joy after winning the championship, has gone to China with his best friend Bill Gates.
On the one hand, Bill Gates wants Microsoft to enter the Chinese market as soon as possible, and on the other hand, Paul Allen also wants Bruce to provide advice for the Seattle SuperSonics.
By the way, this man is really dissatisfied!
If you have one, you want two; if you have two, you want three. Anyway, the more the better, just never be satisfied.
When Bruce saw that his "godfather" came to China to visit him, he was very happy, but when he heard the purpose of his visit, he suddenly felt unhappy.
I haven’t been a dog-headed strategist for many years!
Seeing Paul Allen's hot eyes.
Alas, Bruce knew what to do and had to do it!
After getting the Seattle SuperSonics roster and learning about the current SuperSonics player contract situation from Paul Allen, Bruce analyzed it carefully throughout the afternoon.
I finally got a two-word quote, and then I said these two words "transformation" to Paul Allen and Bill Gates.
Why did Bill Gates come to listen?
This is a good question. First of all, Bill Gates is also a native of Seattle. His father, Gates Sr., is a basketball fan. However, Gates Sr.’s main basketball fan is a member of the University of Washington team. Who makes Gates Sr. and his wife both from Washington?
A college graduate.
Therefore, under the influence of the elder Gates since he was a child, Comrade Gates Jr. also likes the sport of basketball, but he just likes it. If Comrade Gates Jr. really spends hundreds of millions to buy a team, it is basically impossible.
, unless his dad beats him with a stick and demands that he buy it, it’s still pretty much the same.
In recent years, little Comrade Gates has often been dragged to watch SuperSonics home games by his good friend Paul Allen. Watching the games is fun, but after all, I also have to make money to support my family. How about an unemployed person like you?
You vagrants, people who have nothing to do but eat all day long, still drag me to watch football every day. I really think I feel the same way as you!
Finally, little Gates has never been to China. When he goes out, he doesn’t know where to go. The main reason is that China is full of people everywhere. I am a celebrity, and I will definitely be watched by people when I go out. It is better to listen to Bruce here.
Setting up the "Dragon Gate Formation"!
"Transformation" is actually very simple when we say it is simple, and very complicated when we say it is complicated!
The main thing here is the "transformation" of the team. It used to be the era of stars, but now Bruce needs to "transform" the minds of these two big guys. In the future, it will be the era of the team!
I haven’t seen any of the “Big Three” or “Four Young Masters” in previous lives. They were all team-based operations.
Although the team will have superstars, it has become an era where stars gather together.
No longer will one star drive a team to conquer the world.
All in all, single-core is no longer popular.
Bruce analyzed his idea with the two big guys and got their approval.
But how to "transform" is a headache.
In fact, Bruce has already drawn up a plan for the Seattle SuperSonics.
The team play style centered on Nowitzki is exactly suitable for the Seattle SuperSonics play style in a few years.
Of course, Supersonics must be updated in recent years.
Also, some players on the team can now be traded.
It would be the best if I can switch to the draft picks from 1996-99.
After discussing the trade list with Paul Allen, Bruce was ready to get down to business.
Gates Jr. is not here just for fun. During Gates Jr.'s return to the United States, Bruce must decide on Microsoft's entry into China. After all, Bruce is also a minority shareholder of Microsoft.
…
After talking about the Sonics, it’s time for us to talk about the New York Hans.
Although Bruce is not in the United States now, he can still remotely control the team in China.
Considering that Bruce already had the No. 1 pick last year and then made waves in the draft.
Bruce believes that Bruce will not give him the No. 1 pick in the short term, but he cannot let his New York Hans continue to sink like this.
After all, the New York Hans are now equivalent to China's home team. If this result is achieved every year, the fans in China will also have opinions.
Bruce is shameless and is not afraid of being at the bottom every year, but Uncle Si is afraid. This is related to the size of China's "cake"!
So basically it can be booked as the top three. Of course, this is just Bruce's personal guess. Even if he doesn't get the top three, the deal is at worst.
The team is currently lacking that position.
There should be several good players joining the team next year.
After talking about the team’s hardware, let’s talk about the software.
In March, China's Basketball Management Center sent Gong Luming, Li Yuanwei and Li Qiuping to the New York Hans.
Now is the time to arrange for them to "take up their posts" with honor.
Bruce called Mitch Kupchak and asked about the recent situation of the three people in New York. They were quite satisfied.
Although the team is currently on vacation, the three of them stayed at the Island Garden Arena to continue watching the tapes and observing the playing styles of each team.
Bruce welcomes anyone who wants to contribute to the future development of the country's basketball industry.
"Because Director Gong has to be promoted to the national team at any time and becomes the head coach of the national team, he probably won't have much time to stay with the New York Hans, so let's arrange for him to be the team's chief second assistant."
"For Director Li, arrange for him to be the deputy general manager of the team. He will help you on a daily basis, mainly to know the daily operations of the team. You can keep in touch with him if you have nothing to do."
"As for Coach Li Qiuping, let's arrange for him to be an assistant coach."
"Okay, Prince, I understand!"
Mitch Kupchak is quite complimentary to Bruce.
"Mitch, you mainly pay attention to the methods. You just treat them like you treat Coach Xu and Coach Zhang. There is no need to give these three people special privileges. They are just here to learn. Let the other coaches of the team teach and speak.
explain."
"Also, there are currently many Chinese people in the New York Chinese team holding positions in the team. I don't want to hear some gossip from people within the team. Mickey, you are a smart man. I leave this matter to you.
Don’t let me hear any discord within the team, okay?”
"Yes, yes, I understand, I will hold a meeting within the team!"
Mitch Kupchak answered tremblingly.
"Well, very good!"
Bruce hung up the phone and looked at the two boss-level figures who were a little confused.
Shrugging his shoulders, he explained: "I am Chinese, and I always want to cultivate all kinds of talents for the country. As Chinese people gradually integrate into all my industries, they will definitely be targeted in foreign countries."
"I don't want these people who want to contribute to the construction of the country to be troubled by racial discrimination."
"You can control the people in your own company, but what about the people outside?"
"Don't I have a team of lawyers? It's time for them to show their real skills!"
"You..."
The two big guys were extremely speechless.
…
Indeed, now almost half of the New York Han Chinese team has Chinese participation.
Many people have already had their thoughts, from commentators to assistant coaches, whether they will become general managers and head coaches in the future. If this continues, this American team will completely become the home base of the Chinese people.
Bruce now wants to nip such an idea in the cradle. Not all Chinese are qualified to join the New York Hans.
Not for non-elites!
The New York Hans have begun to change, but this change is not the team's internal hardware, but the internal software.
Bruce just wants to build a different team that combines Chinese and Western skills. In the future, as long as there are excellent head coach candidates, they can come to the New York Han Chinese to be gilded. The premise is that Bruce is satisfied.
Stu Jackson has been in China for a month and has been busy promoting the New York Hans in China.
Fortunately, it was almost completed. Only then did Stu Jackson remember to go to the Basketball Management Center to meet with the leaders to discuss preparations for the CBA League.
After discussing the time with the leaders of the Basketball Management Center, Stu Jackson also appeared at the door of the Basketball Management Center on time.
"Hello, Chairman Yang, I am Stu Jackson, President of Operations of the New York Hans."
Stu Jackson still greeted the leaders of the basketball center very politely.
"Welcome, President Stu Jackson. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Yang Boxong, who was the executive vice president of the Chinese Basketball Association at the time, also held Stu Jackson's hand tightly.
The two parties met under friendly circumstances.
