"Secondly, this is a good story, isn't it? Think about it, when Kobe Bryant plays in the future, he will be your successor."

"Even if you retire, Kobe is still in the league. Every honor he has has your shadow, right?"

Huh, I talked for a long time, it was really hard.

Bruce felt that he was completely "begging" the old gangster to teach Kobe Bryant.

This too detracts from my glorious imagination.

"In the end, I will definitely not let such a great superstar like you go to waste. I will personally spend 300,000 US dollars to cover Kobe's training expenses with you in the past few years."

Don't think that 300,000 is a small sum. In the 1990s, this amount of money was considered very high.

Generally, well-known training camps in the United States only cost 100,000-200,000 per year. Of course, this also includes training camps run by retired superstars.

Besides, Bruce will definitely not let the old hooligan lead him for just one offseason. It would be uneconomical to only train for a few months. For a big profiteer like Bruce, after spending so much money, he must squeeze out the last of the old hooligan.

Don't give up until it's worth it.

"Wait, how many years?"

Walter, aren't you only training this offseason?

The old gangster sounded quite satisfied with it, especially the income of 300,000 US dollars, but Bruce actually had a few more years to come, which was not good.

I can't just stop having fun in the past few years, no, I won't do it, no matter how much money I make, I won't do it.

"Yeah, for a few years, of course I can't always bother you to train Kobe in the offseason. You just need to take a period of time every year to train him."

Knowing what the old gangster is like and wanting him to teach Kobe in peace, how is this possible? Bruce can only let him take a break every year.

"That's okay."

As long as I don't use up my fun time, it's easy to talk about anything.

"Okay, let's make an agreement then. There is a saying in our country that a man's words are hard to follow!"

"What does it say? What does it mean? What does it mean?"

The old gangster repeated this sentence in a slurred manner. He did not understand what Bruce was saying. For the old gangster who did not understand Eastern culture, this sentence was too profound.

But no, even Bruce himself was very difficult to pronounce when he said this.

"This is a proverb from our Chinese country. What does this sentence mean? It means that when we say things between men, we can't change our minds anymore. We must count and be honest."

Phew, it took him a long time to figure out the meaning of this sentence after practicing with the old gangster.

"It seems that Eastern culture is broad and profound. It's really interesting!"

"Bruce, can you teach me a few more words? Just like the words you just said?"

The old gangster was obviously excited. It was really interesting to hear Bruce talking about the folk proverbs of his country!

Hey, it seems that the old gangster is attracted by this Chinese folk proverb.

This is unscientific. When did old gangsters love learning so much?

Why study hard and make progress every day!

Why is it that in a threesome, there must be my teacher?

Why are the Three Stooges better than Zhuge Liang!

Bruce also thought of a few more popular ones and talked to the old gangster about them.

Finally, I have to be responsible for translating its meaning for him.

The old gangster really wants to understand Eastern culture. Don't be ridiculous, it doesn't match his personality.

Eating, drinking and having fun is his side job. Of course, the old gangster has his own little thoughts in understanding these words from Bruce.

That is, when you go to pick up girls in the future, you can use these little oriental knowledge to show off to those girls.

God knows, if Bruce knew what the old gangster was really thinking now, he would kill the gangster with a knife.

Anyway, Bruce never expected that the old gangster could be so "coquettish".

"Then it's settled, I will send him to you after I select him in the draft."

Bruce is not afraid of the old gangster leaking the information that he selected Kobe Bryant.

The reason is simple. Bruce is not only his father's savior, but also his long-term partner.

If the old gangster really leaked the information that Bruce selected Kobe, he would probably face two consequences.

First, he was beaten to death by his old father, and second, his long-term meal ticket was gone.

Other than that, he can't get any benefits.

People may also say that the old gangster can let the Bulls trade to intercept Kobe Hu in advance.

Come on, the old hooligan has only one goal now, and that is the championship. Before that, he will not allow any situation that is detrimental to him or causing damage to the Bulls lineup.

Just kidding, the Bulls' first-round draft pick this year is so low. If they trade, they won't lose their ability to compete for the championship.

This business must not be done!

Besides, my relationship with the Bulls management is not that harmonious at the moment. At least on the surface, everyone is happy, but privately, I'm like, hey, don't mention it.

"Okay, no problem. Then you can ask that boy Kobe to come to Chicago to find me."

"No, if you don't go to Chicago, you'll be in New York, right here at the Long Island Garden Arena. You have to be responsible for training him, train him hard, and don't leave me alone."

Go to Chicago, what good things are you thinking about? Bruce doesn’t want Kobe Bryant to be led astray by old gangsters. Why don’t I learn nothing about eating, drinking and having fun after this offseason? I won’t die crying.

.

Please understand the situation. I asked you to come here to improve Kobe's strength, not specifically to bring Kobe down.

"At this?"

"Yes, this is it. Don't worry, this place is only open to you two during the offseason. Furthermore, I will find a hotel with good conditions for you to stay in. All the expenses in the hotel are mine. Once you leave the hotel, you can

You pay for it yourself!”

"Tch, depending on how stingy you are, I can still make you miserable."

Although the old gangster doesn't like Bruce's arranging training in New York without authorization, he can't help it, because he is the father of the financial sponsor!

Besides, there aren't many opportunities to be a wealthy guest in a hotel, especially the opportunities to kill Bruce. No matter what, I have to stay in New York to make him miserable, yes, to make him poor.

"I just forgot to ask, in what order are you planning to take down that kid."

The old hooligan knows where Bruce's team has draft picks. The reason why he asked this question is because he wants to know from Bruce the position of Kobe Bryant in Bruce's heart.

Let's put it this way, if Kobe is selected with the fourth pick, it means Bruce must be very fond of Kobe.

If you use the Golden State Warriors' lottery pick, it means that Kobe is only a role player in Bruce's future system.

Even though the difference between the 4th and 10th picks is not big, it is important.

Not only the old gangsters saw it, but everyone in the league saw it. Even though several New York Han players were suspended for many games last season, they were still strong enough to make the playoffs when they came back. This

Even the old gangster knows it, let alone everyone else.

But why the New York Hans ended the entire season with the second-last record in the Eastern Conference? The reason is obvious at a glance: they messed up and messed up for a certain player.

The old gangster still knows the information about Iverson. With Bruce's shrewdness, it will definitely not be Iverson. Because at the point guard, Kidd has super organizational skills, so Iverson can be eliminated.

And based on the fact that Bruce went to great lengths to invite him to come to New York to teach Kobe Bryant, it can be seen that Bruce will definitely vigorously promote this kid.

The former is a lottery obtained through bad luck, while the latter is a lottery obtained through robbery. Although the difference is not big, in terms of importance, it is certainly a lottery obtained through bad luck!

"No 4!"

Bruce said firmly to the old gangster without thinking.

"really."

It seems that Bruce has big plans! This fully illustrates Kobe's status in his mind.

"By the way, please also ask Uncle Mike not to bring Kobe down during the offseason in these few months!"

"Am I this kind of person?"

Even if you die, you won't admit that you are the one who commemorates the fireworks.

"Yes, you are. I will find someone to keep an eye on every casino and bar in New York. Believe me, I still have the ability to do it."

Bruce nodded and smiled sinisterly.

Damn, I’m so bored. I didn’t expect to come to the Bruce’s home stadium.

The old gangster had no doubts about Bruce's abilities in New York.

Not to mention the gangs in New York, just look for those in the slums of New York and you can find a lot of people who do this.

"You'd better not play any more this offseason. I will secretly entrust the league to promote your positive image. If you are really caught by media reporters in those places, it won't be good for you, right?"

"It will be over if you bear with it. At worst, I will bring my sister-in-law to New York to be with you."

Bruce worriedly told the old gangster again that this guy was too uneasy and needed someone to take care of him.

"Okay, you and I will be in charge of the two of us for the past few months."

The old gangster naturally understands the seriousness of this and will definitely not commit it. I just have to endure it for a few months. I just have to endure it.

For someone like the old gangster who wants fame and face, as long as you grasp his weaknesses, it will be much easier to deal with him later.

"Let's go. It's hard to come to New York today. I'll treat you to something delicious."

Bruce walked out of the office first, not caring whether the old gangster could catch up with him or not.

"Bruce, wait a minute, wait a minute!"

When he heard that there was delicious food, the old gangster still looked like a pig. Otherwise, Bruce took him to many delicious places in China last time.
