Chapter 696: The New Season Begins

Stern was already speechless by Richard's anger, and the silence in the whole room was a little terrifying.

Richard continued: "I propose that the voting conference adopt a system of counting votes in the future, anyway, there are only thirty votes, is it so troublesome? ”

"We're not doing anything unconscionable, so why should we be anonymous? If you don't steal or rob, why be sneaky. ”

As soon as Richard's words fell, Paul Allen spoke.

"That's right, let's just count the votes, there are a total of thirty votes, one vote in two seconds, and it's only a matter of one minute, there is no need to complicate simple things."

"Know that our time is precious!"

Driven by Paul Allen, many bosses on the scene expressed similar opinions, and of course, some bosses were silent.

The scene was at an impasse for a while, and Stern was now also riding a tiger, completely unsure of what to do next.

If he agrees to cancel the anonymity system, then the result of this vote will definitely be as Richard wishes, and the golden dragon will successfully take over the Warriors.

……

There was silence for five minutes, and no one spoke.

"How's it going, have you thought about it? Mr. Stern. ”

"Let's just do away with anonymity, we don't have time to spend here, we still have a lot of work to do."

Seeing that it would not be a problem to go on like this, McClendon urged Stern to give an answer quickly.

Now McClendon feels a bit like Richard's horse boy, and he doesn't need Richard to urge Stern, he, the horse boy, took the initiative to take action......

Stern only felt dizzy, and for the first time since he took over as president of the league, it felt like a situation was out of control.

The current situation is really out of control, before that, in fact, the league owners didn't care much about this kind of thing, even if they cared and disagreed with it, but in the case of a single team, the owner of any team could not threaten Stern.

But now the situation is different, Richard is like a glue, uniting many bosses, resulting in the alliance is no longer Stern's word.

……

There was a long silence before Stern reluctantly spoke.

"Then anonymity, Adam, you will be in charge of the rest of the voting process, I am not feeling well." Stern no longer wants to stay in this venue, and let Xiao Hua next to him take care of the next process.

Xiao Hua's face was full of bitterness, and he felt more and more Richard's terrible.

This is the first time that Richard has participated in such a heavyweight voting meeting, and as a result, he has won over such a large number of team owners, although these bosses must have helped Richard speak for the sake of Paul Allen's face.

But Paul Allen's connections are actually Richard's connections, and the two are a family after all.

At the next voting meeting, will Richard become the real voice of the coalition?

Thinking of this, Xiao Hua couldn't help but shudder.

He felt that it might not be long before Stern's era would become history and be swept into the dustbin of history.

……

After Stern left, Shaw began to adopt the new system proposed by Richard.

Roll votes.

Starting from the first boss, he expressed whether he agreed with the Golden Dragon to take over the Warriors, and then the on-site staff recorded.

After the votes are finished, the statistical results are absolutely impossible to fake, and they are quite fair and just.

In less than three minutes, the results of the vote were in.

Eighteen teams agreed, and the remaining teams all abstained.

These abstaining teams are actually thinking about not being offended.

If they vote for it, they will definitely offend Stern, and if Stern targets their team, they will not have a good time.

And if they vote against it, they will offend Richard, and now Richard is definitely a large number of people, plus Richard's murderous reputation, they also don't want to offend Richard.

In this way, a full twelve teams abstained outright.

The result was quite obvious, and the result of the vote was that the Golden Dragons successfully took ownership of the Warriors.

……

After the vote, the bosses said hello to Richard and agreed to treat Richard to dinner when he arrived at their home stadium to play away.

Xiao Hua shouted to Richard, looking confused.

"Lee, you're a little too tough this time." Xiao Hua didn't dare to say that Richard went too far and used the word tough......

"Huh? Adam, am I still called tough? Richard had a smile on his face.

"If I'm really tough, today's vote will be a vote for Stern to stay."

When Xiao Hua heard this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead!

Crazy, it's crazy, Richard even had this kind of thought, and he wanted to get rid of Stern!?

"Don't, don't, don't!"

"Lee, don't be so impulsive, in fact, there is no big grudge between you and Mr. Stern."

"I know that both of you are face-saving people, and many things can actually be solved by taking half a step back, so I can't make such a big move." Xiao Hua was almost scared to death by Richard's words just now.

"Mr. Stern is a little domineering at times, but please believe me, in fact, he has a deeper affection for the alliance than anyone else, but he is a little too controlling......"

Richard nodded, he agreed with Xiao Hua's words, Stern has indeed made a great contribution to the league, except for the problem of too strong control, he can be regarded as a great man in NBA history.

But the point is that Richard doesn't like the feeling of being controlled, and Stern's desire to control others can be controlled by himself, so Richard can't accept it.

"I see, Adam, Mr. Stern has made a huge contribution to the League, and I won't go too far."

"I also love the alliance, and I will never do anything that harms the interests of the alliance, and if Stern introduces any rules that are strong for the alliance, I will not oppose it."

"It's like the dress code before, it's a good thing, and I'm going to help the league enforce it."

"But this time, you should know that Stern went too far, and he brought personal grudges into his work."

Xiao Hua smiled bitterly after listening to Richard's words, he now wants to reconcile the contradiction between Richard and Stern, but he doesn't have the ability.

……

After Richard returned to Charlotte, he immediately called the golden dragon.

"Congratulations, Boss Huang." Richard said with a smile.

As soon as he heard this, the golden dragon knew that the general trend had been achieved.

"Succeeded? Plum! ”

"If you succeed, the Warriors will be yours in the future. Come to my office in a moment, and I'll talk to you about the Warriors' team building ideas. Richard said with a smile.

Half an hour later, the golden dragon rushed into Richard's office.

Richard has long thought about the idea of building the Warriors, but it is not the construction of the roster, but the selection of team executives.

The general manager used Bob Myers, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The head coach still continues to use the old Nelson, there is nothing wrong with this, the old Nelson's coaching ability is actually very strong, and he is the best manager who can turn decay into magic, and even Richard is ashamed of himself in this regard.

As for the team's president of basketball, Richard asked the Golden Dragon to ask Jerry West to come out of the mountain.

The LOGO male player era is quite tough, but if you really want to compare his management career after retirement, it is actually slightly inferior.

Under normal circumstances, the first dynasty of the Lakers' OK combination was created by West, and Kobe Bryant was selected by him.

In addition, the warrior dynasty of later generations also created the main team under West's leadership.

After leaving the Warriors, he joined the Clippers and sold all the main players on the team in a row, but in this case, he still kept the Clippers quite strong.

The Lakers dynasty, the Warriors dynasty, and the Clippers can not be a dynasty, no one can say that this must be no show......

Of course, this is the feat of the LOGO man under normal circumstances, but at the moment, because of Richard, the LOGO man's management resume is not so glamorous.

Even so, if the golden dragon can invite a LOGO man, it will definitely be able to keep the warrior on the right track.

Under normal circumstances, the LOGO man is stationed in the Warriors for 11 years, and now Richard is ready to bring this point forward in time.

In the summer of 07, the LOGO man withdrew from the grizzly bear, and now he is at home, and if the golden dragon goes to invite, it is very likely to go out of the mountain.

The Logo Man, Nelson Sr., and Miles, with these three people to help the Golden Dragons, the rise of the Warriors is just around the corner.

Of course, Richard will also help the Warriors select some players from time to time to help them form as soon as possible and become a powerhouse in the West.

……

In the blink of an eye, it's October.

Before the Beijing Olympics that started in August, Richard also kept an eye on it.

This time, the American Dream Team was menacing, with a lot of superstar-level players, and many All-Star level players couldn't sign up to participate.

The Chinese men's basketball team was not very lucky, and met the United States team in the semifinals and finally lost.

This is also something that can't be helped, the strength of this dream team is too strong, even if Richard is coaching on the spot, the chance of winning this dream team is less than one percent.

However, the men's basketball team defeated its opponent Spain in the third-place battle and finally won a bronze medal.

This result is also acceptable, after all, this bronze medal also represents the third place in the world, which is already a pretty good result.

……

The preseason has begun, and the newcomers to the Pirates who have been holding back for an offseason have finally ushered in the start of their careers.

O'Neal was traded away by Richard, and it wasn't Oden who was happiest......

Oden is actually a little reluctant to O'Neal, and if O'Neal can stay, even if he continues to play as a substitute this season, he is not unacceptable.

The happiest is Jordan Jr......

Originally, he thought that he would not be able to get too much playing time in his rookie season, but he didn't expect O'Neal to be traded, and the original chief backup center Oden became a positive center, so didn't he Jordan Jr. become the chief backup center?

Although there is still a Kwame Brown on the bench at the center position of the Pirates, Jordan Jr. does not take Kwame Brown too seriously......

Although he is definitely not a starter, but he can get a chief substitute, and Jordan Jr. is extremely satisfied.

Playing in a high-profile team like the Pirates, as long as the quality is good, it is easy to play for a price.

……

In six preseason games, Jordan Jr. performed well, averaging 12 points and 11 rebounds per game.
