The introduction of the coaching team is finished.

After Mitch Kupchak finished speaking, it was Bruce's turn to speak.

"Because Alonzo Mourning has submitted his captain's resignation application to the team for personal reasons, and the team's management has agreed. Now I will announce the candidates for the captain and vice-captain of the New York Hans."

Mourning is actually unwilling to resign as the captain of the New York Hans. However, as his kidney disease becomes more and more serious, he will definitely miss a lot of team games in the next few years, so Mourning and his family decided to do so after careful consideration.

Decided to resign as captain to Bruce early.

After all, the captain of the team represents the image of the team and is the leader in the locker room. With such an important position, how can you think of letting a person who has been running to the hospital all season continue to be the captain?

In fact, all the veteran players on the team knew about Mourning's situation, so when Mourning proposed to resign as captain of the New York Hans, they understood and would not be too shocked.

As for the players who have newly joined the team, it is more surprising. They encountered a captain vacancy just after joining the New York Hans. Do they also have the opportunity to be the captain?

That's definitely impossible. Bruce wouldn't just assign this captain to someone.

It stands to reason that the captain of a team must be the one with higher qualifications.

It's just that the New York Hans are a little embarrassed here.

Now if you look at the current seniority structure of the New York Hans, you will understand it completely.

Apart from Mourning, in terms of qualifications, the only person who can be qualified to be the captain of the team is Sam Perkins, a veteran who has just renewed his contract with the team.

Only Sam Perkins has been with the team for many years. The players who participated in the expansion draft since the establishment of the team have been traded away by Bruce one by one over the years.

It can be said that Bruce changed the team over and over again.

As for the others, whether it is Kidd or Garnett, their qualifications are not even close. The rest, not to mention the many veterans who have recently joined the team, are all old men who are about to retire.

, they have no qualifications to be the captain of the Han team.

It's finally time to announce who will be the team captain.

"The candidate for the captain of the New York Hanmen team in the new season is..."

Bruce paused, smiled and looked down at the expressions of all the team players in the audience.

Not to mention, the expressions of these players are really rich, some are excited, some are dull, some are anxious, and some are lonely...

"The captain is Kobe Bryant, everyone congratulates him!"

Everyone below was shocked.

Are you kidding me, asking Kobe to be the captain of the New York Hans?

He is just a rookie who has just joined the team, and he is still a high school student...

Even if Kobe Bryant was personally trained by Jordan, he couldn't be made the captain right away...

Why?

Why is that boy Kobe so favored by the prince?

Now most of the players on the team couldn't figure it out.

Especially the radicals led by Kidd and Garnett. These people must all want to compete for the captain's position. It's understandable that they can't figure it out.

There is also a pragmatic group headed by Aaron McGee and O'Neal Jr. Their idea is quite simple, that is, they do not have the leadership ability, so it is better not to take advantage of activities like this kind of competition for the boss, so as not to

Set yourself on fire.

The remaining players are the veteran faction represented by Sam Perkins. These people have only one principle, which is that anyone can be the captain. Anyway, I am just hanging around in the team to support myself.

When Kobe Bryant heard Bruce publicly announce that he was the captain of the New York Hans.

He himself was suddenly confused. He had no conscience, he had never thought about taking the position of captain of the New York Hans!

Although this position does have a great "temptation", and he certainly wants to be the boss of the team, he also thinks very clearly that his qualifications are indeed insufficient.

But Kobe himself never expected that Bruce would actually make him the team captain.

Not to mention that Bruce gave him the keys to the villa in person after selecting him with the No. 4 pick in the draft, and also personally used his own kindness to let Jordan teach him step by step during this period.

He was very moved and wanted to win a championship for Bruce and the New York Hans.

Now he has to be handed the captaincy of the first team of the New York Hans to him. Bruce is really...

Prince, how can I, Kobe, be so virtuous...

A man will die for his confidant. I, Kobe Bryant, will follow you for the rest of my life!

The players have different opinions, but the media reporters at the meeting are now quite united, because they finally have something to talk about now. To be honest, the changes in the coaching staff of the previous team are none of our business.

If you love to change, you can change every day if you have money. They don't care about this. It's just that the selection of the captain is news now. This is the big break they have been waiting for!

Even the media reporters did not expect that Bruce, the young boss, would come up with something unique this time and actually promote Kobe, who has been in the limelight recently, to become the captain of the Han Chinese team.

You must know that in the history of the NBA, no rookie has become the boss as soon as he joins the team. Even at that time, "Magic" Johnson performed so well in his rookie season that he only became the boss of the Lakers in his second season.

, you said that if Kobe wins your approval from Bruce through his performance in his rookie season and becomes the team captain, then they will have nothing to say.

Bruce appointed this year's No. 4 pick, Kobe Bryant, as captain right from the start, which not only broke NBA history, but also provided them with a big breakout point.

The media reporters who were worrying about uncontroversial topics suddenly became excited, and each of them was ready to raise more explosive topics in the public interview later.

"Although Alonzo Mourning has resigned as captain, he will always be a good leader and a good brother in the team, so I announce that Alonzo Mourning will become the vice-captain of the New York Hans. Congratulations to him!

"

Unlike Kobe, the captain who "went through the back door", Mourning has the highest qualifications on the team and is unmatched by anyone on the team. Therefore, when Bruce chose to let Mourning be elected as the team's vice-captain.

, everyone responded with warm applause.

Mourning burst into tears in the audience. He did not expect that the prince would let him be the vice-captain of the team after he voluntarily resigned as captain.

Mourning shed tears while recalling everything he had with him in the past, from his conversation when he was drafted and came to the team to participate in individual workouts, to his tears when he canceled the entire season during the All-Star Game, to this group game.

Bruce’s comfort after being told that he had kidney disease in the hospital after being beaten...

All of this can only mean one thing, that is, you are right to follow the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is the best boss in the league, and you will have to work for the Crown Prince in your next life and the next life...

Of course, Bruce also saw Mourning crying, and he also felt it. Even if Mourning himself did not want to continue to occupy the position of captain of the team, he could not chill the heart of the person who was loyal to him. After all,

Mourning is the first player selected in the draft since the establishment of his team. There are countless "firsts" in life that need to be remembered, and Mourning is worth remembering for a lifetime!

As for Kobe's current expression, Bruce was also expecting it. Of course he could see Kobe's entanglement at the moment. I'm afraid he would find him after the players' meeting and offer to resign as captain.

It is indeed a big problem with Kobe's current qualifications.

After all, there are still many people below who are dissatisfied with him, thinking that Kobe is just a clown who "took the back door" to get where he is today.

"I know people may think that the team's management is more or less nepotistic..."

"But I am here to tell you clearly again that what Bruce has decided will not be changed. Once it is decided, it is finalized. No one can refute it. If you are not convinced that you are not the captain, then take the initiative to go to the general manager."

Mitch Kupchak should apply to leave."

"I don't want my team to be incompetent, and everyone wants to be the boss, so I don't want this mood to affect the unity in the team's locker room. If I find out,

I will send him away without hesitation."

"New York is a big city. I believe that even if these people who undermine the unity of the team's locker room are sent away, the team can still find people to replace them as quickly as possible."

Indeed, with the market power of big cities like New York and Los Angeles, are you still worried about the shortage of people? If you send people away, there will be many licking dogs coming up to kneel and lick you.

"So I hope everyone will not challenge my bottom line, understand!"
