Legendary Basketball Tycoon

After returning to the Long Island Villa, Bruce didn't know that Yao Ming had decided on his future direction.

At this moment, Bruce sat in the living room of the villa with a gloomy face, listening to Mickey Kupchak's report!

I have to say that the Han Chinese have changed a lot in this year, beyond Bruce's imagination.

First of all, in terms of performance, from the beginning of 1992 to the present, the Hans have been able to have the capital to wrestle with the Bulls in just 6 years. If it were not for the conflict between the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs last season, the Hans Almost able to get past the Heat to the Eastern Conference finals.

This result was completely beyond Bruce’s expectations. In Bruce’s eyes, he wanted to put together the championship team in the 90s, and then wait for Yao Ming to enter the draft year and start working hard, but he knows that the Hans’ current lineup is indeed terrifying. , No matter how much the Bulls are not lost in the starting line or configuration, that is, the head coach is not strong. Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether Jordan can make the finals? !

There is also the question of the whereabouts of the Han Chinese players this season. Although Bruce has long known that these capable players can't keep many, but they really want to leave Bruce, but they can't bear it. Len Rice, Dale Curry, Garnett, whoever left, is a huge loss to the team.

But Bruce knew that even if the team didn’t let them go, then the salary cap for next season would definitely exceed the standard, which meant that Bruce would have to pay a luxury tax. This was obviously a lot of expense. "De Bruce is really painful. Give completely unnecessary money to the league. Who else would do this except for an idiot? !

Anyway, Bruce doesn't have much money to come out now, so let's count a little if there is a little left.

Finally, there is the Han management. To be honest, Bruce thought about it before he came. Except for the obedient general manager Mitch Kupchak, all the others were opened. It is really the current Han management is muddy and needs to be used. Just wash it off with clean water.

The reason why Mickey Kupchak, the general manager, was left outside was because Mickey Kupchak was obedient and capable, otherwise Bruce wanted to open him.

Are you afraid that you can't find high-quality management in the league if you have money? !

…

After listening to Mickey Kupchak’s nagging for a long time, Bruce rubbed his head with both hands. It was a headache. Now the Han Chinese team is all problems, whether it is from the management, the players, and the head coach. Bruce needs a solution urgently.

But there is no way. If you don't solve these problems, you can't go to school with peace of mind.

In the United States, the academic calendar systems adopted by different universities are also different, but the two systems usually used are the semester system and the quarter system. The so-called semester system is to divide the study time of one year into two semesters. The beginning and ending time of the first semester is generally from mid-to-late August or early September to late December, which is called the autumn semester. The beginning and ending time of the second semester is generally from January to mid-May, which becomes the spring semester. The rest of the time period is summer time, and the vacation time is relatively long. In American universities, most schools will adopt this system.

The so-called quarter system divides the learning time into three quarters. The first quarter is generally from mid-September to early December, which is called autumn. The second school season generally runs from January to March and is called winter. The third school season generally runs from early April to mid-June and is called spring. The rest of the summer season is vacation. There will be fewer schools adopting the quarter system than schools adopting the semester system.

After understanding the difference between the semester system and the quarter system, we can easily see that no matter which system is adopted, there are fall admissions and spring admissions. The time for admission in the fall is usually around August or September, while admission in the spring is different depending on the semester system and the quarter system.

High school enrolls in two quarters a year. The spring is around January of each year, which is what we usually call the second half of the semester. The fall is around September.

It's only the end of July, so Bruce must handle everything before September so that he can go to Seattle to find his "godfather" Paul Allen in advance to report.

Time is a bit tight, and the task is still heavy!

Bruce looked at Mickey Kupchak, the Han Chinese general manager who was obviously a little nervous standing aside, suddenly wanted to laugh.

Because Bruce could see, Mickey Kupchak was very nervous. He was afraid of losing his job, too. After all, there is basically nothing in the league who can get paid for nothing. Of course, Mickey Kupchak Except, because there is Bruce in the draft, Mickey Kupchak only needs to execute it and it is OK. As for the team operation, there is also a professional manager in charge. Now Mickey Kupchak is only responsible for the usual transactions. However, most transactions must be notified to Bruce in advance and can only be operated after approval.

After all, Bruce has also given Mitch Kupchak plenty of time to take charge of the team over the years without asking.

So like this, with more money to do less and with good benefits and good jobs, coupled with the good job of the boss, Bruce can't think of anyone who wants to leave.

"Mickey, I have worked hard for you these years." Bruce smiled and soothed.

"Prince prince, this is what I should do. I haven't done a good job in these years, so that now the team is facing such a situation, I..."

Looking at Bruce with a smile, Mickey Kupchak suddenly got a headache. He knew that his little boss was a black-bellied boss. Don’t look at him now on the surface always smiling, but in reality, everyone It is clear that the lessons learned are not too far away after all.

"It's not to blame you, it's because I didn't arrange it properly. You have done a good job."

To be honest, it is indeed that Bruce himself did not arrange, and he was too young at the time. He thought that some people from Tianhan Empire could supervise Mickey Kupchak's role in the basketball field. Now It seems that they miscalculated. Not only did these people fail to balance the important responsibilities within the Han people's management, they even messed up the management.

Look at the fact that Mitch Kupchak had prepared for the first half of the first half of the Han Chinese management, a high-level person actually broke the law, and was exposed by the local newspaper in New York, this is simply slap Bruce in the face, if it does not show up About this scandal, Bruce still felt that the internal situation of the Han people was still "harmonious" at the time!

It was precisely because Bruce became angry after reading this newspaper that he decided to clean up all his own properties to see how many such black sheep still exist.
