Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Who is Austin Crossell, a former Indiana Titan, who helped the Pacers win the Eastern Conference championship and reach the Finals in 2000. As a 6-10 hard-line power forward, Austin Crossell has always Maintaining a good three-point shooting rate, that's why Bruce likes him. Having a good three-point shooting rate can solve a lot of things in many cases.

Besides, the rookies of 1997 are indeed the same. The high-quality ones are basically in the lottery zone. The Hans will definitely not be selected. Instead of this, it is better to choose Austin Crosill!

There is nothing wrong with using such a power forward as a substitute. Even if it fails to play in the end, it’s okay. At that time, he can be used as a bonus and traded out. Anyway, such unknown players are everywhere, and Bruce didn’t think there was any. What a pity.

Of course, this is what the Bruce can't do. It can be said that the Raptors owner Larry Tanebaum's sudden breach of contract broke Bruce's perfect vision for the team's future.

At the time, Bruce thought that besides the point guard, Kobe + Tracy McGrady + Garnett selected in 1997 + Yao Ming selected later. If this combination fails to win the championship, then he will not play.

But now, the Raptors temporarily repented that Bruce was extremely passive, but fortunately, if you can keep Nash, the point guard can at least not be changed within 5-10.

Judging from Bruce’s previous thoughts, Nash and Yao Ming’s partner would definitely not match, because Nash is used to bombardment, and his play style and rhythm are very efficient and fast, but Yao Ming must not be able to play so fast because of his weight and height. It's offensive and defensive, so Bruce wanted to trade Nash before. It would be best to be able to trade a good point guard who can play a positional battle. If it doesn't work, you can only wait.

The Raptors' sudden repentance also gave Bruce room to calmly think. You must know that Nash and O'Neal partnered with O'Neal in the sun in the late past life. Although both of them are already in the dying year of the wind, they can barely play out!

Since such a fat and lazy O'Neal can partner with Nash, why can't Yao Ming? You must know that besides his speed, Yao Ming is also quite good. Yao Ming has excellent athletic ability and can be pulled to a high cover.

As for the round trip, Bruce also thought about it. Yao Ming can directly find fast Nash and Kobe after receiving rebounds in the backcourt. With these two sprinting in front, it will not take Yao Ming to consume physical energy at all. Running back and forth!

Bruce believes that with Nash and Kobe in the frontcourt, these two speed madmen will definitely be a headache for opponents.

And even if Yao Ming and Nash still don’t get along well in the future, don’t they end up sacrificing a Nash, and use Nash as an ordinary point guard. Although Nash will certainly not achieve too high in the future, the key is " "My own person" Yao Ming just hit it, and the other Bruce let him go to S.

In addition, Nash's character is also very kind and rarely does anything "out of the ordinary". Bruce believes that as long as he and Nash talk about these issues and allow a certain "remuneration", Nash will definitely compromise.

After figuring it out, Bruce is not entangled in the question of whether Nash will stay or not. After all, he is a Hall of Fame star. It is better to stay in his team than to be cheaper than others.

…

"I announce that the Toronto Raptors selected high school guard Chantracy McGrady from Mount Zion Christian College with the fourth overall pick in the first round!"

When watching Stern on the TV announcing that the Raptors finally chose McGrady, Bruce, who was far away from the ocean, smashed the TV at home, and the scene was chaotic.

"Los Angeles Lakers, the Buss family, Jerry West, wait for me. If you don't avenge me, I will swear that I will not be a man.

The Raptors chose McGrady? !

Bruce's eyes opened wide, he couldn't believe it.

If other teams choose Tracy McGrady, Bruce still hopes to trade him back through a trade. Even if it is added in the first round of next year, there is no problem. But why did the Raptors choose Tracy McGrady? !

That’s right, the Raptors’ No. 4 pick McGrady was originally owned by the Bruce, but now it belongs to the Lakers. The reason is that the Raptors and the Lakers reached a "deal" before the start of the draft, which made Bruce. All the previous efforts of the Han Chinese have "fallen short"!

But what angered Bruce most was the treachery of Raptors owner Larry Tanebaum.

Why did this happen to this point? It also takes time back to before the start of the draft.

Bruce, who is happily having breakfast on the other side of the ocean, thinks that he will go to study in the United States soon. Now everything at home is delicious, mainly because he misses his hometown. After all, he will be in the United States for a few years and cannot come back often. Up.

At this time, Bruce suddenly received a call from Larry Tanebaum.

"Bruce?! Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time!"

"..."

Bruce raised his hand and looked at the watch he was holding. It was 6.21 in the morning, which means it was almost evening in Canada.

You also know that I'm embarrassed to bother me at this point, so your old boy still calls me and you mean? !

Bruce knew well that at this point in time Larry Tannenbaum called for something to find him, but he really didn't know what it was.

But Bruce knew that today was the day of the 1997 draft. Although this day is not important in Bruce's heart, it still has a slight impression.

Could it be that there are variables again? !

I'm afraid that's what I thought.

"Mr. Larry, there is a saying in our country called the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. You can just talk about it. I believe you won't call me at this time to talk about the housekeeping, right?!" Bruce pressed The uncomfortable feeling in my heart directly said straightly.

"I'msorry, Bruce, the deal between our Raptors and you Han Chinese regarding Steve Nash will probably be cancelled!" Larry Tanebaum said very sorry.

The attitude is as sincere as you are. After all, he is a businessman. Based on the principle of one less enemy, one more friend, he must be the one who can not guilty if he can't be guilty.

After all, the main responsibility this time is that Larry Tanebaum broke the contract first, and it is a matter of course to apologize to Bruce in a humble manner.

Of course, the most important thing is that Larry Tanebaum is a little afraid of Bruce's "behind" forces. Bruce's godfather Paul Allen is not a small role!
