Chapter 049 Team Status(1/2)
On the morning of the third day after Bruce returned, Larry Miller finally bowed his head. The New York Times published an apology statement from Larry Miller...
Later, Larry Miller held a press conference in Salt Lake City and apologized to the New York Hans again.
Finally, he apologized again during his live talk show on KJZZ TV station.
After Larry Miller apologized, Bruce immediately stopped his "retaliation" action.
After apologizing three times in one day, Larry Miller was completely embarrassed.
Some people are unlucky enough to have water stuck in their teeth, and some people just like to see such people.
No, reporters from all major media outlets across the United States were out in force, trying to be the first to report on the behind-the-scenes footage of Bruce tearing up Larry Miller.
According to rumors, Larry Miller is now in a bankruptcy crisis. Apart from Bruce, there is probably no one else who could make Larry Miller give in so quickly.
It has to be said that Bruce was very ruthless, and with the exaggeration by media reporters across the United States, many people who wanted to use the Tianhan Empire Company's crooked brains were shocked.
Larry Miller's current total net worth is only 300-400 million US dollars. Within three days of Bruce's return, he announced his surrender. This is too fast.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Each of these people are at the level of big bosses. Although their net worth is similar to that of Larry Miller, or even slightly higher, they can't stand Bruce doing this!
Just kidding, he can kill a big boss so easily in three days. How much net worth does Bruce have?
The busybody also learned how Bruce forced Larry Miller to apologize step by step.
To be honest, this person is really a lunatic. This time, he actually spent a lot of money to die with his opponent Larry Miller for a few players of a team. This is not a lunatic.
How far can you hide when you encounter such a madman!
At the same time, Bruce's ruthlessness has also sounded the alarm to others. Those who want to take advantage of Tianhan Empire Company may suffer Bruce's crazy revenge!
The teams in the league are also in a state of turmoil. They have all held meetings with the "troublemaker" in the team. Anyway, there is only one principle. When encountering the New York Hans, it is best not to provoke the other team's players, so as not to make things difficult for us senior leaders.
do you understand!
Of course, just warning the players is definitely not enough. The owners of each team also expressed their goodwill to Bruce.
Even Bruce's other "mortal enemy" Riley has temporarily decided to continue to lurk.
Although he wants to take revenge on Bruce, big guys like Larry Miller have failed in front of Bruce. What else can Riley do?
If you can't afford to offend me, I will hide temporarily and continue to lurk.
As for the players, the old gangster also called Bruce immediately after learning about Bruce's crazy revenge.
"I'm afraid you will cause a sensation in the United States now. By the way, why don't you ask me to join in such a fun thing..."
The old gangster's tone of not taking things too seriously made Bruce roll his eyes, but Bruce also simply hung up the old gangster's call decisively!
…
Anyway, Bruce's "strategic intention" of returning to New York this time has been achieved. He not only took revenge, but also frightened other potential enemies, and also established himself as a peerless good boss in the NBA. Haha, that's great, killing three birds with one stone!
On the day Larry Miller apologized, the New York Hans visited the American Airlines Arena to challenge the Miami Heat.
After learning the penalty notice from the league management committee, Han Chinese head coach Paul Westphal also showed bitterness on his face. "It's really hard for me. It will be very difficult to win a game in the following games."
The players of the Han team also breathed a sigh of relief. At least the penalty has been handed down. Since it cannot be changed, they can enjoy every game that follows.
Let me say here that many players in the New York Hans will leave after this season. Some will retire, and some will leave on free transfers.
So currently, except for those with relatively long contracts, the other players in the team are basically in a state of having no desires or demands.
No surprise, no surprise at all, 96:113, the New York Hans lost miserably to the Heat despite their real desire to win.
The crowd of Heat fans in the American Airlines Arena was so excited that the sound of "58" in the audience was deafening.
It is conceivable that it brings huge pressure to the two teams that are playing against each other. The New York Hans are definitely not willing to be beaten by a score of "58", but what is in front of them now is that the strength of the team is
In this way, it is difficult to avoid being retaliated by the Heat.
The Heat are also under a lot of pressure, but it just lies with head coach Riley himself.
The test for Riley in this game was not only to win the game, but also how to win the game beautifully without hurting the Han people's face.
It’s really brain-burning. Riley is in a very uncomfortable mood right now. Seeing the fans shouting “58” and the excitement of the team’s players, he feels completely powerless. Can you please stop messing with that lunatic Bruce?
.
Yes, Bruce will definitely not cause trouble for these fans and players, but think about me. Given the conflict between Bruce and I, beating the opponent "58" in this game does not force me to go to war with Bruce.
Can you please stop causing trouble for me? I still want to live a few more years!
Originally, in this game, the Heat could have given the Han Chinese a score of "58," or even more than that.
The reason why the final score was like this was entirely because Riley didn't want to add himself as an opponent to Bruce after he had just dealt with Larry Miller.
Just kidding, at this point, if you beat the Han Chinese team to a "58", God knows what a little lunatic like Bruce who wants to lose face will do.
After the post-match press conference, Han Chinese head coach Paul Westphal, who had been notified, immediately took the team back to New York, because what awaited them next was a meeting with the team's boss, "Prince" Bruce!
…
To be honest, the current situation of the New York Hans is very difficult. Not to mention the senior members of the team who have been suspended, including the players on the injured list, the team currently only has 9 players available to play, which has just exceeded the league's requirements.
Minimum attendance standards.
Originally, general manager Mitch Kupchak was planning to recruit some outfield players with ten-day contracts, but Bruce stopped it.
Just kidding, a ten-day contract doesn't seem like much and is a good deal, but Bruce, who is determined to win Kobe, won't give up an excellent opportunity to mess up.
Why not lose if you can lose!
Of course, for the current team's starting lineup headed by Kidd, don't think about offense. The players who can perform on the offensive line are still doing community service, so the team's goals in subsequent games can only be defined as reducing
Injuries are really something you can’t afford to lose, brother!
…
After resting in the villa for a day, Bruce also came to the Long Island Garden Arena to watch a home game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
To be honest, the Philadelphia 76ers really did everything they could to get Iverson in this year's draft.
I have lost all the games that I can and cannot lose.
You will know why you say this just by looking at this game.
The New York Hans' starting lineup for this game is: center Sam Perkins, power forward Gattison, small forward Ricky Pierce, shooting guard Aaron, and point guard Kidd.
With such a starting list, he couldn't beat the Philadelphia 76ers, with a full-time score of 66:70, which made Bruce furious as he sat watching the game.
What is this fight? Didn't you see that many fans in the arena started to boo?
Fans in New York City know that the Han Chinese team is in a very difficult situation, and they can also understand the current situation of the team.
To be honest, there are still a few injured players on the list of these nine players. Head coach Paul Westphal did not arrange for them to play in the game, but only used these players to make up for the number of games required by the league.
It can be said that the current Han Chinese team cannot be sent off and injured, so the players on the team are hiding and playing. On the offensive end, you can attack at will.
But what the hell is the Philadelphia 76ers? You can't win like this. Not to mention beating up the loser Han Chinese team, you don't even have the courage to challenge this loser.
Although the team won the game, the team's shooting percentage in this game was simply unflattering. Three players on the team were in double figures, and the shooting percentage was only 37%.
Not to mention the Philadelphia 76ers. They were in a sleepwalking state throughout the game. Not only did they fail to score in various singles, but they only made half of their free throws.
It seems that the Philadelphia 76ers worked hard enough to get Iverson.
Also, in last year's World University League, Iverson represented the United States for the first time. Together with Duncan, Ray Allen and other future NBA players, he won the championship with an undefeated record. In this competition, Iverson averaged 16.1 points per game.
6.1 assists and 2.9 steals are both the highest in the team.
Not to mention that he dominated the NCAA competition.
He is the absolute No. 1 pick in this year's draft.
Bruce shook his head helplessly. When it comes to losing shamelessly, the Han team is really not good at it.
Could it be that the current Han Chinese team is giving other outside teams a hypothesis?
Winning the No. 1 pick and taking Iverson?
Come on, Bruce really doesn't have that idea right now. Even if he gets the No. 1 pick, he will definitely trade it out.
Compared with Iverson and Kobe, who has more influence? Needless to say!
…
After the game, Bruce also came to the locker room to visit the players who had just been fighting on the court.
To be honest, Bruce rarely enters the team's locker room because he knows that a good boss does not need to go to the locker room frequently to stabilize the morale of the team, but this situation is special.
Bruce's arrival still brought excitement to the team that was at a low point. The players in the locker room also shook hands with Bruce one by one.
"Everyone has worked hard. In the next games, I hope everyone will try not to get injured again."
"In addition, I have decided to arrange a gathering for the team's senior management and all the players when the team takes a break in a few days. You can also bring your family members over for a BBQ."
"Long live the prince!"
"..."
The players on the team still prefer these small favors, and Bruce doesn't lose much. It not only wins people's hearts but also allows the team to relax.
The impact of this gang fight was so great that both the Utah Jazz and the New York Hans players were under a lot of pressure!
To be continued...
