Chapter 194 Media Conference! !
The next day, when Bruce stood in the office with a smile on his face and chatted with Starks and Mullin, Wilkens walked in with a happy face!
"Aha, John, Chris, welcome back to this big family!" Wilkens greeted the two with a very comfortable mood.
Bruce looked at this scene in the office with some excitement. Although Mullin and Starks were not as capable as they were at their peak, their valuable experience was enough to make Bruce and Wilkens extremely happy !
The Warriors showed many problems in the first two seasons due to the majority of young players. If it weren't for Carlesimo's strict military management from the beginning and the charm of Wilkens, the Warriors probably wouldn't have Such rapid growth!
Now with the return of Starks and Mullin, Bruce and Wilkens firmly believe that they will become the best mentors for this group of young players.
Didn't Starks do very well last season?
"Lenny, it's a great honor to play under your guidance. You are my idol!" Mullin said very sincerely, then picked up a glass of red wine on the table, handed it to Wilkens, and continued: "I I have seen the changes that Bruce has brought to the Warriors, and I am very glad that he got you to join. For the rise of the Warriors, I must drink with you!"
Wilkens looked at Mullin, who was deeply touched, and thought of what happened to the Warriors. While excited, a trace of regret flashed across his face very quickly: "Chris, this young team is exactly what we need. Your time!"
As they spoke, the two seemed to have met their bosom friends, and drank the red wine in their glasses one after another!
Bruce and Starks looked at the two with a smile, they knew very well what kind of performance the Warriors would achieve next season!
On August 8, when Bruce announced the time of the team conference to the media, all the media rushed to the press hall of the Warriors' home court!
"Lance, what kind of attitude do you think the Warriors will take to prepare for next season?" A reporter with a camera hanging around his neck curiously asked his colleagues beside him!
"Don't you know they've already taken care of Chris and John!" Lance looked expectantly at the passage into the conference hall, and said as it should be: "This Warriors team has brought us a very big Looking forward, they not only have a group of extraordinary players, but also a very good owner, I believe that the Warriors will definitely become a strong contender for the playoffs next season!"
"Hmm. You're right, let's wait and see!"
In the lounge, Bruce and Wilkens looked at the players in formal suits and their energetic appearance, and a strong sense of pride suddenly rose in their hearts!
Because he negotiated the contract with John Starks and Mullin, Bruce simply made an appointment with Wallace, Billups and Bruce Bowen to the media on this day. Introducing!
Because Starks and Mullin considered the salary issue of the Warriors, and the two did not have too high requirements for the salary, after a simple negotiation, the two were 2 million in 400 years and 2 million in 300 years. The price to sign with the Warriors!
Bruce is very grateful to them for their choices after comprehensive consideration, because if their salaries are too large, it will create certain troubles and constraints for the Warriors' subsequent operations. Based on the current contracts of the two Look, the Warriors will at least have a very flexible operating space in terms of free agents!
Until the contract renewal of Billups and Wallace, plus the signing of Mullin, the total salary of the Warriors basically reached about 3700 million U.S. dollars, which allowed Bruce to have a lot of money in subsequent operations. Flexible space!
Although Foyle's contract issue has not made any progress for the time being, if Bruce insists on keeping him, this will make them have problems exceeding the upper limit of the luxury tax at any time!
Judging from the current development process of the Warriors, they have obviously not reached the point of paying the luxury tax. Of course, they will not continue to be so "stingy" in the next year!
"Sir, the time for the press conference is almost here!" A staff member walked into the lounge, first glanced enviously at the beaming Mu Lin and the others, and then reminded them.
"Okay!" Bruce nodded with a smile, then looked at a few people, seeing how impatient they were, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Guys, this is just a very normal press conference, isn't your performance Is it too exaggerated?"
"To be honest, the feeling now really makes me feel similar to the feeling when I signed the first contract back then!" Mullin stood up slowly, thinking of the situation when the first contract was signed that year, after going through the storm, he couldn't help feeling Some slightly nervous and excited!
"Ha ha!!"
Hearing Mu Lin's emotional words, several people in the lounge burst into laughter one after another!
When Bruce and Mullin walked out of the passage slowly, all the media and reporters in the venue quickly raised all the equipment in their hands, and slapped them hard!
Looking at a lot of media around him, even though Bruce was used to the flashing lights, his eyes still felt very uncomfortable under the flickering white lights!
After several people sat down slowly, under the arrangement of the staff at the press conference, the first reporter belonging to the local media immediately stood up!
"Mr. Bruce, how did you get the favor of John and Chris?"
Hearing this question, the rest of the reporters all showed curiosity!
Mullin's joining is basically regarded as a very difficult thing in their hearts, but now they see Mullin smiling all the time on the stage, which makes them very confused and eager for gossip.
Looking at the local reporter, Bruce first looked at Mullin and Starks with a smile, and then said with some emotion: "It is a very gratifying thing to get them to join, if Chris and John are not Seeing that I chose the Warriors because of my honesty, it is estimated that the only ones sitting here are Ben, Chauncey and Bruce who are dead set on me!"
"Haha!!" Hearing Bruce's answer, there was a sudden burst of laughter in the venue, and everyone was laughed at by Bruce's description!
When the reporter sat down with a smile, another blond white woman sitting not far from him suddenly stood up: "Mr. Do you not resent?"
Hearing the female reporter's question, all the media people secretly applauded and looked at Mu Lin who suddenly paused on the stage!
Hearing this question, Bruce subconsciously looked at the press card hanging on the other party's chest. When he saw the big words "New York Times" printed on it, he felt helpless in his heart!
Mu Lin, who was stunned for a while, obviously had his own answer before the press conference. He pondered for a moment and said seriously: "I thought about this question before the press conference, and I can tell you the truth. I still feel resentful towards whoever traded me away!"
"Wow!!"
Mullin's words surprised all the media present and Bruce. No matter what his thoughts were, it seemed a little inappropriate to say such words on this occasion!
When everyone was whispering in surprise, Mullin continued seriously: "However, I don't resent the team that trained me, but I am very grateful to it!"
"As early as last season, I met with my current boss, Bruce. Of course, it was during the time when they played the Pacers' away game!" As he said, Mullin turned his head and smiled, glanced at the dazed Bruce, and then looked at everyone. The media said: "I like this young man very much. It was his appearance that saved this team that had fallen into the abyss. I have seen the progress and astonishing growth rate of the Warriors. There are a large number of people here. Excited young players, why don't I come back and fight side by side with them? Don't I come back when I'm old? I can't do it!!"
"I... can't do it!!" This sentence seemed to have a shocking effect, and the venue suddenly fell silent. Even the female reporter who was about to continue asking questions looked at the stage blankly. Mu Lin, exuding an inexplicable aura, couldn't bear to interrupt!
Hearing Mullin's words, Bruce looked over gratefully, seeing the expectant expression on the other side, thinking of the other side's character and the great contribution he had made to the team, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Cohan and Gary Saint-Jean's actions back then. Feeling very angry!
Obviously, the cold spot will not always appear on these "uncrowned kings".
"So, Chris, may I take your words as Bruce's credit?"
Hearing some sharp questions from another reporter in the audience, Bruce and Wilkens suddenly looked over with serious expressions!
"Sir, can you tell me if your words mean something?" Bruce's tone was obviously much cooler than at the beginning.
"Mr. Bruce, if you look at it this way, I have nothing to say!"
Bruce looked at the other party's still faint smile, and was suddenly amused, and then looked at the other party with a smile, but his tone gradually became a little indifferent: "Sir, do you think this team with a glorious history can rely on an owner or Is it a successful team operation?"
"It's true that I've been a member of this big family for a short time, but I've done something that I'm very proud of!" Bruce looked at the reporter fixedly, with a cold gleam in his eyes, and said dully: " I have no conscience!!"
A clear conscience made the reporter speechless, and the rest of the media reporters also looked at the confident and proud Bruce on the stage in astonishment!
The second update! !
