041: Crazy Shirakumi
AN Jiali. Rana Divi spent two hours putting on her makeup and changing clothes, wondering if she might look too glamorous. It's too faint, and it doesn't seem to be eye-catching enough.
In terms of wearing, Lanadivi also tried many combinations. She kept trying on clothes, not knowing which skirt would bring out her slender legs.
She's never put so much thought into makeup and picking out clothes, because even if she doesn't, Angeli can still be the center of attention for men. But in the face of the visiting Henson, Anjiali was a little nervous. This is the first time in her life that she is worried that her charm is not big enough.
In fact, Henson also took advantage of his work to see Angela this time. Fresh out as head coach, Henson's job can be described as very busy. Although he had just won the Summer League, it was just the beginning, not the end. For the sake of the new season, for Bird's playoff goals, Henson can't just rely on newcomers, he has to find a way to add a couple of good players this summer, players who can help the team reach the playoffs.
This time in the Bay Area, Henson's main purpose was to take advantage of the Warriors' change of management to investigate if there was any opportunity.
Just the other day, the Golden State Warriors officially announced that Chris. Cohan agreed to sell the team to Joe Brown, a minority shareholder of the Boston Celtics, for $450 million. Rukab and Mandalay Entertainment CEO Peter Brown. Gubo. While it may seem like Henson's change of ownership of the Warriors has nothing to do with it, it's actually a very rare opportunity.
After all, every time a team changes owners, it is destined to face a personnel purge. Because the basketball philosophies and goals of the previous owner and the new owner are not the same, they also have very different requirements for their players.
The Warriors had already asked Bird about Troy the other day. Murphy's offer, Bird thought it was an opportunity to "rob", so he asked Henson to follow him to the Bay Area to negotiate.
That's why Henson has time to take a trip to the Bay Area. However, before negotiating, Henson naturally asked Anjiali to meet first.
Although the two have never made their relationship clear, Henson is not stupid, he knows that the girl has a little bit of a good impression of him. And what about yourself? In the face of a woman like Angela, Henson naturally has no resistance, and the reason why he has always kept his distance from Angeli is because he thinks that the age difference between the two parties is too much.
In a few months, Henson will be 31 years old. This is the most dissatisfied point of Henson after crossing over, inexplicably he is 7 years older. And Anjiali, she is just a little girl who hasn't graduated from college.
Henson knows that in the NBA league, there are countless examples of old coaches marrying young wives, and Henson's age is in the NBA, which is definitely an out-and-out young coach. But he still doesn't know whether the difference between himself and An Jiali is 10 years old, whether it is just a momentary brain fever between the two sides, or whether they can really create some sparks.
When Henson met Angeli in the agreed restaurant, he almost fell out of his chair in fright because of the wonder of the place.
An Jiali wore a tight-fitting black slit long skirt today, the skirt outlined An Jiali's perfect figure, and the two looming long legs stirred the fire in Henson's heart again and again.
"Sorry, there was a bit of a traffic jam just now." Angeli smiled slightly, but Henson, who had always been known for his calmness, felt that he was almost unable to control it.
"Sit down, waiter, order." But Henson doesn't show his old virgin face, he still looks dignified, mature and calm, which is what attracts Henson the most about Angeli.
"You were even a scout this time last year. Now you're the manager. Henson, how do you do that? After ordering, Anjiali looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Formerly Abby. Hornacek also said that scouts don't have much to offer because they are largely out of the coaching staff. And if you don't get into the coaching staff, you'll never be able to climb higher up in management. Well, now Abby's dad is still the shooting coach of the Jazz, and the scout who was extremely disliked by her at the beginning is already a real head coach!
"I don't know how I did it, but I think you've brought me a lot of good luck. You're welcome to Indianapolis next season, and Bird gave me three packages this year, and I don't know who to give them to. But surely, there's a copy left for you. Henson said, handing Angari a universal ticket for all of the Pacers' games next season.
In fact, Henson really doesn't know what to do with these three packages, his friends are either players or coaches, and this kind of people don't need packages at all, after all, their job is to play. Outside of work, Henson has no relatives, and Anjiali is Henson's only friend.
Angeli happily accepted the gift Henson gave herself, and then immediately regretted it, why didn't she think of preparing a gift for Henson?
"Thank you so much, I'm sure I go to the races a lot! By the way, Henson, you can come to my house tonight......"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Angeli. Bird's and I met with Golden State Warriors president Bowyer tonight. Myers, you know, this kind of work is always a lot of work every offseason. Henson spread his hands helplessly, this kind of thing had nothing to do with the head coach today, but Bird had to pull him along, saying that it would not hurt him to learn the negotiation skills in the NBA league.
Henson doesn't know why he needs to learn to negotiate, and it seems that the scope of the manager's job is broader than Henson thinks.
"Oh......" Anjiali was a little disappointed, today it was finally Abby. Hornacek didn't go back to the apartment, and Anjiali originally wanted to take Henson home to correct the Fa on the spot......
"But it doesn't matter, we can go out together in mid-August if you have time. I wasn't too busy with my work during that time, so I shouldn't be distracted by all this anymore. ”
After listening to Henson, An Jiali's eyes immediately lit up again. He's ...... Do you want to ask yourself out?
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Anjiali had been staring at him, Henson was a little embarrassed.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing! Thank you, Henson. ”
With a low-cut long skirt and long legs, looking at An Jiali sitting opposite him, Henson's appetite for eating has improved a lot. But after lunch, after sending Angarie back to school in a hurry, Henson had to say goodbye, Bird was almost there now, and he didn't dare to let Bird wait for him.
Before leaving, Angelie plucked up the courage to kiss Henson on the cheek. In the United States, kissing on the cheek between good friends may not be a big deal. But both Henson and Angelie knew that the kiss was more than just good friend etiquette.
Henson's heart must have been churning at this point, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't give up his job because of a little girl.
"Alright, August call me." After saying that, Henson turned around and hurriedly got into the taxi, leaving Anjiali standing alone at the bottom of the student apartment, reluctant to leave.
Again, Henson had to stay away from her because of his work, just like his father had done back then. Why can't there be a mature man by your side who can always be by your side? Watching Henson's taxi disappear around the corner of UCB's campus, Angeli's heart has long since gone with him.
At the moment, she kept imagining all kinds of possibilities in her mind to get close to Henson. Women's ideas are often beyond the imagination of ordinary people, especially when it comes to love.
Why did Henson leave in a hurry today, because the Golden State Warriors changed owners, and Bird thought there was an opportunity, so he called him.
"Change boss......" Angeli pecked at the matter, and she suddenly thought of a way to keep Henson by her side.
Buy the Indiana Pacers! Let him do something that he doesn't have to run around all the time!
Angeli certainly can't afford an NBA team, but his father, Vivek. Rana Divi has such economic power. On top of that, as a fan, his father also had the idea of making it to the NBA. Currently, Vivek is ready to start his basketball career in Sacramento, but maybe Angeli can get her father to turn his attention to Indianapolis?
She also heard that the Pacers are now very keen to bring in another big consortium. After all, in this day and age, if a team is reluctant to invest a lot of money, it is difficult for them to make a difference. And Pacers owner Herbert. Simon, apparently, didn't want to bear the high expenses on his own.
Without thinking about it, An Jiali immediately dialed her father's phone. Women are much crazier than men for love......
※※※
Henson didn't know that Angarie had the idea of buying the Pacers for himself, and after he met with Bird, there was only one thing in his mind - how to make a good deal for the Golden State Warriors.
Since the Warriors are actively asking for the price, and the party that generally takes the initiative to ask is in a relatively passive position from the beginning of the negotiation. Exactly Troy. Murphy wasn't part of Henson's long-term plans, so he and Bird hit it off to take some of the players they needed from the Warriors.
However, before he could reach the Oracle Arena, Bird received a phone call. After the call, Bird asked the driver to stop the car, holding his head in his hands in frustration.
"Damn the Knicks, damn it!" Bird yelled.
"What's wrong? What happened to the Knicks? Henson looked at Bird nervously, he had never seen Bird so angry.
"The Knicks traded for David. Lee, the Warriors used up almost half of their team for this. We don't have a chance, Henson, the Warriors have got the players they wanted, and we've lost the chips we wanted. In other words, we've been robbed! Got a head start by the damn New Yorkers! The thought of the Warriors' gold mine being poached by the Knicks made Bird angry. The most feared thing about trading is to be one step slower.
Henson sighed. Get David. After Lee, Murphy was not so attractive to the Warriors. The same white interior who can shoot, David. Lee is an All-Star caliber and Murphy is just a qualified starter. Although he averaged a double-double in his first two seasons, Murphy still couldn't match the numbers of David. Lee is on a par. In an instant, the warriors went from passive to active.
"It's okay, it's still growing this summer, Bird. I think we still have a chance to build the squad we want. The Golden State Warriors can't do it, let's find someone else. Henson patted Bird on the shoulder, and he suddenly realized......
The trading battle in the business field seems to be as interesting as the coaching game.
