Chapter 378
Bruce believes that as he makes this competition bigger and bigger, the future of the men's basketball team will definitely become brighter.
"Then can the leaders agree?!"
Such a huge organization of events must be greeted by the leaders. If the leaders disagree, it will not be possible. The sports bureaus below will not provide competition venues. Therefore, the fundamental reason is not about money or people, but about the attitude of the leaders.
"There is no problem with this. I will tell you the details myself. In addition to persuading Yao Ming's parents to let Yao Ming go to the United States, there is also one more thing about your current task. I will also contact the old partners who went to New York with you later to let them participate."
Originally, Li Qiuping and the others needed to participate in this kind of thing. These things could be hosted by Stu Jackson, the operation president of the Han people. But Stu Jackson was unwilling to stay in China forever, so he resigned as the operation president of the Han people last year. Bruce happened to push Stu Jackson into the NBA league headquarters. Now Stu Jackson is completely up to the sky and directly becomes the senior vice president of the NBA basketball affairs department who is responsible for the discipline and rules of the court. He is one of the two most popular vice presidents under Stern. The remaining one is Russ Granick. Yes, the one who helped Stern announce the second round rookie at the draft every year is all real power figures, at least it is much better than being a puppet president of the Han people.
The more Bruce thought about this, the more she wanted to slap herself. It would be great if Stu Jackson hadn't left now. Stu Jackson is really capable. Just this is what Bruce said. Good is good, and bad is bad.
But Is it ironic to send him back to Stern himself?
Of course, although Stu Jackson has left, there is a big boss-level figure in China who can also be competent. He is Del Harris, general manager and head coach of the Mountain City Fire Dragon team under Bruce.
Then why didn't Bruce let Del Harris host? This is another big mistake for Bruce. Del Harris is still in China, but his thoughts have already flown to Canada.
It turned out that as early as last year, the Canadian Basketball Association had passed many "inspections" about the national team's head coach's question, and finally fell in love with Del Harris. Don't ask why Del Harris was still being taken aback on the other side of the distant ocean. Can Bruce say that someone introduced it to the Canadian Basketball Association? You must not say that. Anyway, in a word, Del Harris must be determined. The club can be compared with the national team. Of course, if China wants to recruit foreign head coaches, Bruce will definitely sign up for Del Harris as soon as possible. But the problem is that the Basketball Management Center trusts more domestic head coaches, so it can only give others a free gift.
The most annoying thing is that when Bruce persuaded Del Harris to come to China to coach, he said that if the NBA team or other countries invite you to be the head coach, he will definitely not stop him from letting go. At this point, Bruce really has trouble and has to open this convenient door. This is just a cocoon. Even Bruce didn't expect that he had transferred Del Harris to such a remote place and could be poached. It's really unpredictable!
Bruce never expected that he would have such a day. Not only did the operation president Stu Jackson give up, even Del Harris, the head coach and head coach, could not save him.
Thanks to Del Harris, because he still has a contract with the Han people, he postponed to go to Canada to be the head coach of the national team until 1998. Bruce is also worried about the position of head coach of the Shancheng Fire Dragons!
...
Fortunately, there is still one year left to choose a head coach. This time, Bruce is still planning to choose a foreign coach to continue to be the team's head coach. The Fire Dragons will continue to use foreign head coaches. This remains unchanged. Whether it is European or American head coaches, they are much better than those in China, especially because their philosophy is much higher than those in China's head coaches. Bruce is also deeply touched by this point.
As for the position of the general manager, Bruce must think about it carefully. After all, he has to study abroad for several years. He has not been in a family for a long time. What if those people think of no tigers in the mountains and monkeys calling themselves kings? So this is the most deadly place.
Bruce thought about what to do if he invited those "old comrades" in China to be general managers, then what to do if he had a conflict with the foreign head coach. After all, the concepts of both sides are different, and the old-school comrades' ideas are quite conservative. This will definitely make the foreign head coach invited by Bruce to help the team's players improve their strength. Therefore, those "old comrades" in China are definitely unwilling to invite them, but they cannot invite foreigners to be the general manager.
In fact, there are still people who choose Bruce. This is Xia Song. Yes, it is Xia Song, the domestic agent who helped Wang Zhizhi successfully enter the NBA. Many people know that Xia Song started as Wang Zhizhi's agent. At that time, Xia Song was also in the spotlight. Where Dazhi was, Xia Song was everywhere. He also worked as a technical consultant of the men's basketball team, introducing top foreign coach Yunas and Harris for the first time. It can be said that Xia Song is the kind of agent in the men's basketball team who wants to enter the NBA in China.
The other one is also an agent, but his experience is more legendary than Xia Songlai. Who is it? She is Qin Xiaowen. That's right. If you say the most awesome general manager of the CBA in his previous life, then it is undoubtedly Qin Xiaowen. You can check her deeds on Baidu. Anyway, if you lose the title "CBA General Manager" and you will basically get the name of this Qin Xiaowen, and even Zhu Fangyu can't compare to it, at least in the past.
As we all know, the officially certified basketball agents of the China Basketball Association all hold certificates and have two types of agent certificates. Class A can handle foreign affairs and have higher authority. Qin Xiaowen is the first batch of certified A agents of the China Basketball Association certified by the China Basketball Association, and is the only officially certified female basketball agent.
Awesome!
Qin Xiaowen's name quickly spread throughout the Chinese basketball industry and became one of the benchmark figures in the basketball agent industry. Her reputation was once no less than that of Xia Song, the "No. 1 agent of Chinese basketball".
However, Qin Xiaowen is now the global marketing director of HDSC. She settled in Portland. For the city of Portland, Bruce is simply not too familiar with it, not far from Seattle. At that time, he will definitely visit Qin Xiaowen in person and ask her to return to China to serve as the general manager of the Mountain City Fire Dragon Team.
That's right, Bruce chose this "legendary" female general manager in one of the two choices. Qin Xiaowen, who also has the heart of a championship, was also Bruce's decision after careful consideration.
