Chapter 301 Fighting for Olajuwon
As a well-known city in Texas, Houston gathers a large number of high-end technological talents.
The team in this city is also known as one of the top three in Texas in the NBA.
As the soul of the Rockets, Olajuwon once brought the Rockets to a very peak height!
Today, although the level of competition and age have made him not as dominant as when he was young, he is still the "big dream" with superb footsteps!
Bruce took a taxi, admiring the surrounding scenery, especially when he saw the Rockets' red team logo appearing on both sides of the street, his face couldn't help showing a trace of nostalgia!
As the taxi slowly stopped outside a cafe, Bruce came back to his senses after being reminded by the driver!
After paying the fare, Bruce opened the door and got out of the car. Looking at the quiet and elegant cafe in front of him, he took a few deep breaths!
After tidying up his clothes roughly, Bruce grinned, and then walked slowly towards the cafe!
Pushing open the door, under the guidance of the welcoming lady's smile, Bruce handed the other party a 10-dollar bill, and looked at the tall figure sitting in the corner on the right with a smile!
"Hi Bruce!!"
As Bruce approached, Olajuwon greeted him with a smile!
"Hello, Hakeem, it's so exciting to meet you!" Bruce walked over happily, the two hugged gently, and then both sat down!
"You were my childhood idol!" Bruce looked at Olajuwon very seriously: "Your dreamy footsteps and powerful blocks brought the best memories of my childhood!"
"Aha, Bruce, you are so amazing!" Olajuwon grinned and said, "I'm not as exciting as you said!"
"Okay, Hakim, can we end this boring topic?" Bruce shrugged pretending to be helpless, and then, under the stunned expression of the other party, he laughed and said, "Seriously, you are really What an exciting big man!"
Even though it feels like it's going downhill now, Olajuwon still feels very depressed when he is questioned by local fans!
However, hearing Bruce's praise now, especially when the other party is the owner of a team, made him feel indescribably moved!
"Hehe, thank you for your compliment!" In the end, Olajuwon could only "helplessly" accept Bruce's compliment!
Immediately, Olajuwon signaled the waiter to order two cups of coffee for the two, and looked at Bruce, he felt the sincerity of the other party!
Before, Olajuwon was very surprised when he received a call from Bruce himself!
Although he became a free agent this season, he really didn't think about playing for another team!
However, judging from Bruce's sincerity on the phone, especially now that he came in person, it can be seen how exciting Bruce's sincerity is!
"Hakeem, you know what kind of advantages we have. I won't say too much. I just want you to seriously consider the Warriors!" Bruce took the coffee and brought it to Ola himself. Zhu Wang, just took another cup and stirred it expectantly.
Olajuwon immediately fell into contemplation. Even though the Rockets had gradually deviated from its correct track, as the pillar of this team, he didn't want to leave the team he had played for his entire career!
However, as Bruce said, the Warriors showed extremely surprising combat effectiveness last season, coupled with the team's configuration gradually becoming stable and growing steadily, this made Olajuwon entangled!
Judging from Olajuwon's career, he has already won two championships. What he wants to do most now is to hand over his baton to the future owner of the Rockets.
However, with last season's poor performance and the team showing some indifference to him, this made him feel a little shaken in his belief!
Seeing Olajuwon unconsciously stirring the coffee cup, Bruce couldn't help showing a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Bruce, can you tell us about your goals?" After a while, Olajuwon said suddenly.
Looking at him seriously, Bruce said without hesitation: "From this season onwards, our only goal is the championship, and there will be no second goal, it is the only thing we pursue!!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Olajuwon's face. Although he agreed with Bruce's words very much, it was hard for him to imagine that they, who had only shown a trace of a strong team last season, were competing for the championship!
However, it is this sentence that has already cooled the heart of Olajuwon, bringing a trace of passion when chasing this supreme honor!
"If, I mean if I join the Warriors, what do you need me to do?" Olajuwon looked at Bruce with great anticipation. He really wanted to know the answer to this question!
"Hakim, do you know what a veteran, especially a former super giant, means to a team?" Instead of answering his question, Bruce asked back!
"Ever?" There was a gloomy look in Olajuwon's eyes, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Experience?"
Bruce noticed the gloom flashing in his eyes, felt a pang of regret, raised his right index finger, shook it and said: "This is just one, we are looking at the second point!!"
"The second point??" Olajuwon said curiously.
"According to our usual practice, if you are interested in working for the team, like Chris this year, you can not only continue to contribute to the team, but also serve as an assistant coach or a member of the team's management team after retirement." You can continue to stay in the team with your identity!" Bruce said slowly and seriously: "Of course, if you don't want to do this job, we won't force others to use the so-called favor card to recruit or some profit temptation! "
"This..." Olajuwon really can't say anything, even though he has tried to make some moves in the business field, after all, he is very happy to continue his career in basketball!
However, just as Bruce said, if he is allowed to serve as the team's assistant coach, he really doesn't have that idea for the time being.
After listening to Bruce's words, Olajuwon couldn't help but feel the sincerity he brought!
Even though Bruce's sincerity is higher than that of Alexander and Dawson, his approach and confession are still not inferior to the favor cards they played!
Bruce's words completely put Olajuwon in a dilemma!
On the one hand, the experience of the Rockets is very important to him, and on the other hand, it is Bruce's frankness and extremely strong sincerity!
Seeing Olajuwon's tangled face, Bruce couldn't help but look forward to it!
When a whole cup of coffee was stirred by Olajuwon and stopped steaming, he suddenly showed regret and said very firmly: "My first choice will still be the Rockets. Don't play this place that has carried my entire career!"
"Uh." After getting the final answer from the other party, Bruce felt disappointed at first, but then showed a very appreciative smile: "I understand your decision very well, since you have made the final choice, I sincerely wish you, I hope you can further help this temporarily low team!"
"Thank you!!" Olajuwon smiled happily. He had never met a boss who was as friendly as Bruce.
If Alexander can change his miserliness, I'm afraid the team won't be what it is now!
With the above emotion, Olajuwon nodded to Bruce very happily!
Afterwards, in a relaxed atmosphere, the two talked about some topics in life from time to time, and their hearty laughter sounded from time to time!
After the meeting with Olajuwon, even though Bruce felt a little regretful, he still understood the veteran's actions after all!
Olajuwon shook hands with Bruce and said goodbye with a smile. He watched the other person walk into the boarding aisle, but his face could not help showing a trace of puzzled meaning!
With some regrets, Bruce immediately flew back to Auckland.
Mullin sat in the team office with some excitement, and couldn't help grinning when he thought of the establishment of the Warriors' subordinate team!
"Aha, what makes you so happy?" Bruce didn't know that there were other people in the office. After pushing the door and entering, seeing Mullin who was grinning silly, he couldn't help feeling very curious!
Hearing Bruce's voice, Mullin smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, I just thought of some good things!"
"Really?" Bruce put his bag and coat in the cloakroom with a smile, and then walked to the desk!
"Of course!" Apparently Mullin didn't want to get entangled in this topic. After watching Bruce sit down, he asked very curiously: "Is the trip to Houston going well?"
"What do you say??"
Mullin couldn't see any emotional expression on Bruce's face, which made him even more curious and looking forward to it.
"Fixed Hakeem?"
"Of course." The playfulness in Bruce's eyes flashed, and when Mullin was about to express his excitement, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, of course not!!"
"Uh...you!!" Mu Lin seemed to be blocked by something suddenly, his cheeks were flushed, and he pointed his right hand, and it took him a long time to make a sound!
"Hey!" Bruce looked at Mullin with a funny face, and couldn't help laughing!
"Damn it, don't you know that you almost had a heart attack?" Mullin pointed at Bruce angrily, very depressed about his unscrupulousness.
"Come on, Chris!" Bruce said disdainfully without realizing it, and then, with Mullin's increasingly depressed expression, he told the story of their meeting one by one!
After listening to Bruce's explanation, Mullin couldn't help showing a hint of admiration and nostalgia on his face.
As the former super giant of the Warriors, Mullin's feelings towards Olajuwon are very understandable!
If it weren't for Chris Cohan, because of Mullin's injury and a somewhat declining competitive state, he was traded out, and Mullin would most likely have been playing for the same team. What a longing and exciting thing he is!
But Cohan's actions completely plunged Mullin into a huge trouble, and the ups and downs of his mood for a while really made Mullin into a struggle for a while!
Fortunately, Bruce signed Mullin back again in the end, otherwise Mullin would have to leave the stadium he loves with great regret!
"Hakeem's approach is very correct, I hope he can get his wish!" Mullin knew Olajuwon's thoughts well, and looked at Bruce and said very solemnly.
"I hope Alexander and Dawson can keep him!" Bruce murmured subconsciously as he turned his head and looked out the window.
