The next afternoon, in a villa on Long Island, New York.

Bruce slowly opened his eyes, and then slowly woke up from Simmons, which made him comfortable.

Looking at the rendered ceiling in the villa, Bruce seemed to be still dreaming, and he was back in New York again!

It’s so unreal!

Bruce awkwardly put on his pajamas and walked from the bedroom to the living room, preparing to call the maid in the villa to prepare lunch for him.

He was so hungry that he immediately returned to the villa to catch the jet lag after watching the injured players of the Han Chinese team. Counting the time, he hadn't eaten in almost 10 hours.

My stomach was already growling by now.

"Aunt Cheng, is there anything to eat? I'm starving?"

The housekeeper in the villa is a Chinese woman, kind of like an aunt, named Cheng Huizhen, whom Bruce "specially found" in China.

Speaking of Cheng Huizhen, the story is quite long. Anyway, to put it bluntly, she is a miserable person. If she talks too much, she will shed tears!

At that time, Bruce saw that she was pitiful when she was single, so he took Cheng Huizhen in. In addition, Cheng Huizhen also wanted to leave that sad place and live in a new environment, so she was sent to New York by Bruce.

In order to repay Bruce for saving his life, Cheng Huizhen, who was single, childless, and without a family, took care of all aspects of Bruce's life in the United States.

After re-living, Bruce values ​​life more than anything else. It doesn't matter whether he is afraid of death or timid. Anyway, whatever Bruce does now will be taken into consideration.

Therefore, it is very tiring for such people to live, but there is nothing they can do about it. America is not peaceful everywhere, and they worry about their lives whenever they go out.

To take precautions, Bruce must ensure that there is no fire in the backyard. If he randomly chooses an unfamiliar person to be the housekeeper, God knows whether there will be cameras or other things in the house in the future.

Just like that, Cheng Huizhen, the "Chosen One", won the lottery. You must know that Bruce spent a lot of money to look for people with these conditions found by private detectives all over the country!

If the housekeeper is not loyal, you will still worry about your personal safety and privacy when you return home.

Therefore, being lonely, single, childless, and without a family are the necessary conditions for Bruce to find a housekeeper.

"Young master, are you awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Young Master, do you want Chinese food or Western food?"

Cheng Huizhen, a dedicated housekeeper, did a relatively good job.

"Wake up, I am young and recover quickly."

"Aunt Cheng, let's make Chinese food. I'm not satisfied with Western food. I want to eat braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs..."

I ordered 4-5 dishes, all of which were meat dishes, which was almost enough, since I was eating it alone anyway.

"Okay, okay, young master, wait for a while, Aunt Cheng will arrange for someone to do it right away."

Aunt Cheng remembered the menu and left the living room.

Bruce was very bored in the living room. He couldn't cook these dishes for a while anyway, so he should watch TV first.

After a while, Cheng Huizhen appeared in the living room again.

"By the way, young master, many people called me while you were resting. In the end, I told you that you were still suffering from jet lag."

"Who are those people?"

"Let me take a look?"

Although Aunt Cheng can speak English, she is in senior grade after all and her brain cannot remember so many names.

Open the notebook and read it while telling Bruce.

"Mr. Mickey called, Miss Angel called, Mr. Larry Miller called, Mr. Jerry Sloan called..."

"Oh, and also, NBA President Mr. David Stern also called and asked you to call him as soon as you wake up!"

"Okay, I get it!"

After saying that, Aunt Cheng went to order the food again. The young master had not eaten for so long, so he must be very hungry.

I didn’t expect that so many people would come to me while I was jet lagged!

Bruce thought leisurely.

Mitch Kupchak looking for me must be a matter of the team.

Angel basically came to me to deal with Larry Miller, who was entering the late stage, and wanted to know how to proceed next.

As for Larry Miller coming to me, he must have been unable to bear it anymore and came to beg for mercy?

Could it be that Coach Sloan called to beg for mercy?

Uncle Si’s last phone call must have been Sima Zhao’s intention to reconcile between me and Larry Miller. It was definitely Sima Zhao’s intention!

Forget it, let's call Uncle Si first, lest he say that he doesn't respect the elderly and loves the young.

"Hello, are you Mr. President?"

Bruce picked up the cell phone that had been turned off long ago, opened it, and dialed Stern's personal number.

"Little guy, it's me."

"You're awake!"

Stern also spoke to Bruce carefully at this moment.

It is incredible for a league president to answer the other party so carefully. This kind of thing is basically impossible. Of course, Bruce is an exception.

Can you believe that this little lunatic Bruce would make a tycoon like Larry Miller disgraced for the sake of the team?

This little lunatic is so vindictive that he will retaliate crazily if he attacks a player on his team. If someone else offends him, it would make him shudder!

Stern just didn't understand this little lunatic too well before, so he only said some polite words to Bruce with trepidation now.

"Mr. President, please give me your instructions if you have anything to do!"

It's hard for Bruce to guess, so it's better to be direct. I hate trying to mess with these Americans. It gives me a headache!

"That's right, the alliance has announced the penalties for both parties in this incident..."

"Hey, that's it. Mr. President, the New York Hanmen and I are listening to you. Now that the penalty decisions have been announced, we will all obey!"

Bruce originally didn't want to go against the league. In fact, once this incident came out, Bruce felt that it would be a good thing for the team.

Why do you say that?

Because when Bruce "robbed" the Golden State Warriors a few years ago, he got three unprotected picks for nothing, including this year's unprotected first-round pick in 1996.

This is the golden generation of 1996. Not to mention the first few, anyone who goes out is an All-Star.

Once this incident comes out, well, Bruce can completely destroy the team. With the Han Chinese's first-round pick + the Warriors' first-round pick, Bruce can get at least two great players.

It’s wonderful to think about it!

Stern didn't expect Bruce to be so straightforward. In this case, what happens next...

"Bruce, there's one more thing..."

"The matter between you and Larry, can you..."

It is indeed difficult for Stern to say anything. After all, the league has punished two teams now. The basketball matters are over here. As for how Bruce and Larry Miller fight to the death, it has nothing to do with the league.

, let alone his Stern affairs.

After all, you are now fighting a business war, and it has nothing to do with basketball.

Although it was caused by basketball, Mr. Stern will never take the blame. The reason why Stern came to intercede with Larry Miller was definitely for the sake of the league.

God knows, all the media reports in the United States are now focusing on this matter. Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. As long as Bruce doesn't end it, the bad impact on the NBA will be greater and longer.

"Hey, Bruce, are you listening?"

Stern found himself talking for a long time and Bruce was silent. What did he mean?

"I'm listening, Mr. President, as you know, this incident was actually caused by the Jazz from the beginning. The injuries to Alonzo and Kevin this time forced me to kill Larry Miller."

Uncle Si, can't you just let me be reserved? That's not how I was given the chance to step down!

I'm not a mean person, I will immediately comply with your request. Then how can I manage the team in the future?

"Yes, I know it was the Jazz that made the mistake first, but..."

"Mr. President, please listen to me first. Since you also think it is the fault of Jazz, it will be easy to handle."

"You can stop me if you want. Larry Miller must apologize, and the Utah duo must also apologize. They must also apologize in newspapers, hold press conferences, and use television media."

"Here, Bruce, are you going a little too far?"

Stern didn't expect that Bruce, who he hadn't seen for two years, would actually change. The former Bruce was fierce and fierce, but also soft and cute. If he didn't say anything to Stern, he would just obey him. At least he wouldn't refuse, but look at it.

Now Bruce actually dares to resist.

He's too brave. Who gave Bruce the courage?

Bring back the "obedient" Bruce!

"Mr. President, it's not that I'm unreasonable, it's that they've gone too far."

"..."

"To be honest, while I was away in New York, there were cats and dogs everywhere who came to provoke me and the Tianhan Empire Company."
To be continued...
