Chapter 416 Press Conference
In the media hall of the Warriors, all the media and reporters were quietly waiting for Bruce's opening remarks, and everyone quickly prepared their equipment!
"First of all, welcome to friends from the media!" Bruce's eyes sparkled with excitement, looking at the expectant people in the audience, he said excitedly: "Today will be a very memorable day for the Warriors, Jerry West Mr. joining is a very exciting and exciting thing!"
"As we all know, Jerry is one of the greatest players and managers in the league. He used his wisdom to bring the Lakers enviable championships time and time again!"
"We firmly believe that the joining of Jerry will definitely bring unexpected changes to the Warriors. Let us welcome this legendary player in the league!!"
"Wow!!"
The glory of Jerry West caused the media, who have always been harsh, to give warm applause and blessings to the old man.
Even though some people may not know him very well, but this figure has been printed on NBA special balls since 1969. From here, we can see how shocking guy West is!
Looking at the smiling and calm West beside him, Bruce immediately made an invitation gesture to him!
"Hehe, you should know who I am, right?"
"Hahaha!~"
West's humorous words made the entire audience laugh out loud.
"Of course, some people must have forgotten me as an old man!" West still said humorously, looking at the reporters in the audience, he continued with a smile: "To be able to come to this exciting team, It is my great honor!"
"Once, I brought the Lakers to the finals, but my luck was bad!" West said with some regret, and then continued his humorous way: "However, in my career as a manager of the Lakers, it seems Pretty good job!"
"Ha ha!"
A burst of laughter showed the old man's humor at a glance. Even Bruce, who usually has a sense of comedy, was surprised by West's humor!
"Now that I have left the Lakers, let's talk about my new boss and the Warriors now!"
West's words made everyone in the audience listen carefully.
"Bruce is an exciting little guy, oh no, I should call him the boss!" West looked funnyly at Bruce, who was pretending to be helpless, and then laughed in the audience, with a serious tone Said: "He is an alternative to this league. I have never seen such a shocking young man!"
"Since he bought this team that was in deep trouble, under his operation, the Warriors have gradually become the team that is now attacking the championship. This is an unimaginable thing, but Bruce did. Arrived and did a great job!"
"My joining will not replace Mr. Bruce's position. Although he will "escape" basketball affairs and the team's president position, I will not tell you that he will still serve as the team's president!" Weiss Te finally had a bit of humor, and then vowed: "My arrival will bring obvious changes and reinforcements to this team. Don't forget, I am one of the best old men in this league, hahaha !!"
West's joke immediately plunged the hall into joy, and everyone fell in love with this humorous old man!
"Mr. Bruce, how did you manage to join Jerry West?"
As a reporter was named by the press officer, his question could not help but make most people look at Bruce on the stage!
"Well, how should I put it?" Bruce frowned deliberately, his appearance really puzzled the reporters!
"Look, I'm such a great boss, wouldn't Jerry be fascinated by my charm?" Bruce's sudden words made everyone stunned!
After a while, the hall burst into laughter, which really set off the joy of this press conference!
"To be honest, when I was visiting Jerry, I clearly saw his intention, but I was so worried that I wanted to hold my trembling hand!" Bruce stretched out his right hand exaggeratedly, and pressed his left hand Finally, he said excitedly: "Jerry must have seen my sincerity. When welcoming Manu's return, I actually received a call from this legend. Oh, God, this is so fascinating!"
"Haha!~"
Bruce's contrived appearance really made the reporters in the audience dumbfounded!
"Okay, gentlemen, why don't you come and interview this handsome guy?" Seeing that he had obtained the atmosphere he wanted, Bruce pointed to the smiling Ginobili with a smile and said.
Jerry West looked at the smiling Ginobili who was obviously relaxed, and nodded to him with a smile. From the previous arena training, he was already very surprised by the ability of this European player , The vision of Bruce is also extremely shocking!
"Hehe, hello everyone, I'm Manu Ginobili from Argentina!"
His fluent American English surprised all the reporters. If they didn't know the identity of the other party, they would directly regard him as a straight American!
"I am very excited to be a member of the Warriors, especially Mr. Bruce Young. He has given me a lot of help and advice. Without his sincerity, I would not be able to sit here and chat with everyone!" Ji Nobili nodded to Bruce gratefully, and then smiled at Jerry West!
Ginobili's words made the few reporters in the audience suddenly understand, which made them think of the scene when Kirilenko attended the press conference before!
"Manu, as a European player, how will you adapt to life and the intensity of the game in the United States as soon as possible?"
The reporters under Miracle Entertainment stood up first.
"You know, I should have come to this exciting place two years ago!" Ginobili said with a smile: "But, you should be very aware of the characteristics of European players!"
"On the biggest stage in the world, the fierce confrontation and the different ways of playing will cause us a lot of trouble!"
"However, all this seems very not so serious to me!"
Ginobili's orderly words made the journalists who had been somewhat contemptuous of the audience suddenly look upright!
"Two years ago, I accepted Mr. Bruce's suggestion and hired a trainer from the United States!"
"In the past two years, under the guidance of this very good trainer, my language, diet, and physical fitness have all undergone great changes!"
Saying that, Ginobili nodded gratefully to Bruce: "This is a very kind boss, and this is the team I want to stay in for the rest of my life. I will never leave here unless my boss I don't need it anymore!!!"
"Wow!!!"
Everyone was moved by Ginobili's words. They had never seen any player with such sincerity as Ginobili!
"Manu, you surprised me!" Bruce looked at Ginobili in shock. He never thought that such a scene would appear in the press conference!
Afterwards, the entire press conference ended with gentle questions from the reporters!
Returning to the team, Ginobili officially signed a two-year, 280 million second-round show contract with the Warriors!
"Sorry, boss, I might have to go back!" Ginobili said to Bruce when he returned to Bruce's villa after a day of training.
"Of course, your country needs you!" Bruce said with a smile, he is very supportive of Ginobili's approach!
"Thank you for your understanding!" Ginobili secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Participating in international competitions is one of the most important experiences for him. Pity!
After that, Brewster deliberately drove Ginobili to San Francisco's Chinatown, prepared some things with Chinese characteristics for him, and then sent him on the plane to Argentina!
"Ha, finally got a very important thing done!" Watching the plane to Argentina take off, Bruce breathed a sigh of relief!
Back in the arena, West invited Bruce to his office immediately!
"Judging from the team's current lineup, Dell and John can obviously continue to bring us some contributions. I suggest signing them back with two basic salaries for veterans. I think they will be very happy to give a team with a comfortable environment to continue Effectiveness!" West handed a document to Bruce and analyzed it seriously.
"I agree with your decision very much. In the past few years, they have used their own strength to bring very important contributions to the Warriors!" Bruce agrees with West's suggestion very much. He had this before. idea!
"Then, we will call their agent as soon as possible!" West said bluntly, then looked at another document, and said with a frown: "Judging from the current offer of Sam (Cassel) , we obviously can't meet his request, so... I don't suggest keeping him!"
"Is that so?" Bruce felt a little bit reluctant to say that he would not sign Kassel back. Although his asking price was not a drop of water, it is basically difficult to meet his requirements with the current salary structure of the Warriors!
Coupled with Billups who has already shown great abilities, if he signs back to Kassel, this will further suppress Billups' growth, which is something Bruce doesn't want to see!
After a while, with his own decision, Bruce said with some reluctance: "As for Sam's question, I want to wait and see. If no team can satisfy his contract, we can try it with a contract with an annual salary of 400 million US dollars. !"
"Yes, judging from the current situation in the free market, other teams have obviously not started to exert their strength, so we don't have to be so anxious!" West took off his glasses with a smile, and suddenly said playfully: "My arrival , why not give the Warriors some surprises?"
