Chapter 579 Fly to Los Angeles!
The next day, Bruce, who was shopping with Charlize Theron wearing big sunglasses, suddenly received a call from the NBA headquarters!
"Hello, Mr. Bruce, I'm Mr. David Stern's assistant, Amal Shirley!"
Bruce, who answered the phone, heard the other party's self-introduction. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Charlize Theron, who was in a good mood, and then said with a smile, "Hello, Amal!"
"Hehe, it's like this..."
As the other party slowly conveyed the wishes of the headquarters, Bruce couldn't help feeling a little dumbfounded!
This year, because the NBA added some new items and the occasional absence of players, the headquarters specially invited Gary Payton and Manu Ginobili to participate in this year's second-year rookie challenge and the skill challenge just entering the league game!
Although both Ginobili and Payton meet the requirements of the NBA, after all, they are enjoying their rare vacation, which made Bruce hesitate after listening to each other!
"Uh... this, I have to talk to them first, if they don't agree, I can't force them to participate, so."
After hearing Bruce's reply, Shirley smiled and said, "Of course, we won't force any player to participate!"
After hanging up the phone, Bruce curled his lips with disdain: "No force? It's strange if you don't force it!"
Charlize Theron, who was picking out a piece of baby clothes, turned her attention away when Bruce answered the phone. After seeing his disdainful expression, she couldn't help asking curiously: "Who called? Woolen cloth?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that the alliance wants to recruit Gary and Manu!" Bruce said casually, and then said with a smile: "Have you chosen?"
"Haha, it's fine!"
Charlize Theron raised the clothes in her hands and said with a smile!
Then, after a packed shopping trip, Bruce called Gary Payton straight away!
"Hey, buddy, the league wants you to participate in this year's Skills Challenge. Are you interested?" Bruce stood under the French window of his home, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said to Payton on the phone with a smile!
"Eh. Skill Challenge??"
Peyton asked with some doubts. Although he had heard about this project a long time ago, after all, Bruce's call is still a bit sudden now!
"That's right. Considering your status and strong influence, the league now specially invites you to make up the last spot. Are you interested?"
There was a mocking smile in Bruce's eyes, he didn't think Peyton would refuse!
"Aha, I like it very much when you say that, although I know you are trying to provoke!" Peyton said with a smile on his face. Sitting on the sofa, he turned his head and glanced at his wife who was playing with his son. Said with a trace of confidence: "I think those brats will cry when they learn that Uncle Gary is participating!"
"Hahaha, buddy, you will be the champion of the first skill challenge!!"
Bruce laughed and hung up the phone. For him, if all members of the Warriors can participate in the All-Star team, this is simply something that he will definitely remember for life and have endless aftertaste!
Immediately afterwards, after Bruce got Ginobili's gracious consent, this All-Star trip, only the Warriors will have as many as 6 players participating. This is simply the most astonishing thing in the history of the NBA!
On February 2th, in order to cooperate with the NBA's publicity and a series of activity arrangements, after Bruce gathered Duncan and others, a large group of people took the fancy team plane and flew straight to Los Angeles all the way laughing and laughing!
David Stern frowned and sat in the luxury hotel arranged for him by the Lakers. Looking at the roster and other information about this year's All-Star Game in his hand, he couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly!
"The number of players in the Warriors is simply too exaggerated!" Stern slowly closed the information on the table, exhaled and said, "This is not bad, it seems that this year's All-Star Game will have a good show!"
Regarding this year's All-Star Game, the NBA is spreading its internationalization. This year alone, as many as 212 countries will broadcast this exciting event for fans all over the world!
However, with such a large-scale and large lineup, the issue of tickets has only become a topic of discussion among fans all over the world in a short period of time!
As the host of this All-Star Game, I originally thought that the tickets would be sold to fans just like the regular season, playoffs and other games, but following the official announcement of the Lakers and Clippers Afterwards, their remarks instantly detonated all the people who were paying attention to the All-Star Game!
Without him, because the league completely turned the All-Star Game into a feast for merchants and sponsors, with as many as 18000 tickets, only the Lakers and Clippers only got about 3700 tickets, which is an embarrassing situation!
However, just as everyone was discussing this embarrassing matter, NBA officials suddenly appeared, completely stunned a large number of fans who were paying attention to this feast!
"We have a lot of games to watch, why can't the All-Stars make those sponsors the protagonists?"
Sitting on the team's special plane, Bruce couldn't help but sneer when he thought of the official NBA speech before: "Hey, if they keep doing this, I think they will definitely pay for what they did today!"
"Hehe, these guys only have green dollars in their eyes, and they never really think about the treatment of the fans!" Wilkens said with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, jokingly!
Afterwards, as the special plane of the Warriors slowly landed at Los Angeles International Airport, Bruce and others, under the pursuit of a large number of media, got into the small bus that had been arranged earlier, talking and laughing Go directly to the hotel arranged by the alliance!
In this year's All-Star Game, except for the main game, it is very exciting. LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, who are sought after by the league and fans, have really become successors under the chasing of a lot of spotlights. After the main match on February 2, the most eye-catching place!
In this year's rookie competition, there is another topic that makes Chinese fans very excited, and that is undoubtedly Yao Ming, who is a sophomore and finally participated in this rookie competition!
This year's sophomores, apart from Stoudemire, who won the best rookie last season, and Yao Ming, whose deterrence is gradually increasing, they also have Carlos Boozer, Nene Hilario and Ginobili Waiting for very talented players!
In the first-year lineup, except for James and Anthony who are in the sky, the addition of Chris Kaman, Josh Howard, Haislem and others really made the top rookies of this class shine!
As for Bruce, who was sitting in the hotel, facing Wilkens' teasing, he could only smile wryly!
Without him, because the Clippers brought Chris Kaman back to their lineup as if they had robbed them before, which made this big man who averaged 7 points and 6 rebounds per game gradually become the team leader of the Clippers. Focus on cultivating potential stocks!
In the case of Chris Kaman, even if all of this was caused by West, Bruce was the one who made the final decision after all, so he could only secretly be indifferent, but pretending to have a wry smile on his face !
"Okay, Lanny, you should know the whole story of this matter very well!" West said helplessly, then changed the subject and said to the two: "Really, if we didn't bring Tim into the team then , Would it be a very good situation to have either of Dwyane (Wade) and Chris (Bosh) now?"
West's words suddenly made Bruce and Wilkens stunned for a while. Although Popovich's vigorous training and Pat Riley's insight into people this season, Bosh and Wade's performances are very good. It's amazing, but after all, Duncan's current ability and future performance are still worthy of Bruce's doing so, and he obviously won't show any reluctance about this issue!
"For this issue, I don't think there is any need to discuss it anymore. Since Tim joined the Warriors, we have won the championship trophy that we have not won for decades. This has achieved our goal!" Bruce He said slowly with an expression that didn’t seem like a joke, and after taking a look at the two of West, he continued: “And once we failed to bring Tim into the team before, even if the talents of Chris and Dwyane are indeed Very strong, but when will they be able to bring us this championship trophy?"
"Haha, this year's All-Star Game must be very good!" Embarrassment flashed in West's eyes. He originally just wanted to change the subject, but now that Bruce said it so solemnly, he was really awkward!
Wilkens noticed West's embarrassment, and after a flash of a smile flashed in his eyes, he said jokingly: "This year not only these little guys are attracting attention, but here is the best movie empire in the world. !"
"haha of course!"
Suddenly, as if feeling that his tone was a bit too serious, Bruce immediately said: "If I didn't want to talk to you about something, I'm afraid I would have been dragged away by Brad Pitt with an anxious tone!"
As the three of them gradually introduced the topic to Hollywood stars, Bruce couldn't help but look forward to recalling those guests who were confirmed to perform at the All-Star Game this year!
In this year's list of performing guests, not only the Latin diva Christina Aguilera, who is extremely sexy, will sing the American national anthem, but also the all-star game will include the now-rising diva-level star Beyoncé sexy Deduction!
With Los Angeles adjacent to Hollywood, once the All-Star Game starts, not only will the superstars on the court be the stars everyone is looking forward to, but those Hollywood superstars on the sidelines of the court will also be like stars. show up there!
Sorry, the things about Payton and Ginobili in this chapter were my negligence. I was a little casual about the information before, and I forgot that they also participated in the All-Stars. So, I hope my friends will forgive me!
