In the NBA, everyone exists here for different purposes, some people can do everything for the benefit of the NBA, this is for the development of the NBA, some people hope to be able to make themselves the pride of a city or a region through an NBA team, this is his fame and satisfaction and even a sense of superiority in consideration, and some people hope to become a team hall through their own efforts, Still others work in the NBA just to fulfill their dreams or support their families. Of course, for the wonderful small world of the NBA, there are more other types of people, at least Zhuang Fei has seen too much in his six-year NBA career. And what kind of new boss is this Celtic? Clearly, he was one of those people who wanted to satisfy his sense of superiority and fame in the Boston Celtics and to be admired by everyone at all times. And in fact, the NBA is not without these people who play with money and try to exchange money for these satisfactions, the most recent is this Adelson, and a little further away is the Trail Blazer's Paul Allen.

Of course, for Zhuang Fei, this bet is specially set up for these people, if the Boston Celtics can't achieve the same results this season next season, Adelson will not get any respect in this place, nor will he get any sense of achievement, and will even be directly abandoned by the city, in fact, this rich second generation knows this very well, from the time he faced the pressure of almost all of Boston to buy the Celtics, he knew, you know, he bought almost 90% of the Celtics in the city These people objected, and in fact this was his last effort in the city, and when he was exposed in the Donagee match-fixing case, he became the enemy of the Celts, the most hated enemy, and the enemy of Boston. This is unthinkable for him who wants to become the banner of Boston, so he does not hesitate to spend $3 billion to directly forcibly buy Highland Investment, just for the ownership of the Boston Celtics in Highland Investment, because this is the last fight whether he can stay in Boston, so he doesn't care if the three billion is too much.

And in reality, for Adelson, he is not a scoundrel like the owner of the Timberwolves. In the high boos of the fans in the city every game, he can sit comfortably in his position for money and always smile, so even if Zhuang Fei's bet is to win the Boston Celtics championship next season Zhuang Fei quits the basketball world, and if he can't win the championship, he will still agree to give the Celtics to Zhuang Fei, because Zhuang Fei's damage to him in the past few years is absolutely able to make him hate it, if he can't win the championship, he will inevitably shoot the Boston Celtics, this is absolute, whether Zhuang Fei and him play this bet or not, it's the same, And if he can have the opportunity to eliminate Zhuang Fei, his most hated enemy, from the NBA and even from the basketball world. There was no way he wouldn't agree.

As for Zhuang Fei? For him, no matter who the boss of the Boston Celtics is, it has no effect on him at all, and his contract shows that he has absolute initiative with the Boston Celtics, and he just pats his ass and walks away if he doesn't go well. But the current Boston Celtics don't just pat his ass and walk away, he needs to consider the unreserved trust of Danny Angie, Michael Carr and even the team's former owner Grusbeck and the trust of the fans, just like Grusbaker was the first to come to Zhuang Fei after losing his company and losing his team not long ago. This kind of emotion is not something Zhuang Fei can pat his ass and leave, and this is also his only chance to get the Celtics, of course, when he bets with Adelson. He already has the latest consideration for the future of the Boston Celtics, if he really wins the rich second generation, will the rich second generation deny it? This is impossible, he is a strongman, not a scoundrel, for him, the value of the hundreds of millions of dollars in the Celtics is not enough to make him from a strongman to a scoundrel, and even the rich second generation will worry about whether Zhuang Fei will deny it if he loses.

In fact, Zhuang Fei has absolute confidence in himself, he believes that his ability can help Boston get back the Celtics, and Adelson also has absolute confidence, he believes that as long as he is not affected by Zhuang Fei's departure this year, he can beat Zhuang Fei, and then after gaining the respect of the Boston people again, he can also kick out Zhuang Fei, who made him infamous in Boston. So in a way, these two people are really two people who are extremely similar. When something happens, the first thing they think of is their victory, which is not the average person's competitive spirit.

The matter with Adelson has been resolved, but Zhuang Fei is still very heavy when he leaves Adelson Villa, because he knows that he now needs to do a lot of things for the city and even for those who have always trusted him, of course, not only for others but also for himself.

When Zhuang Fei returned to the team building from Adelson's villa, the fans outside were still shouting for Adelson to return the team to them, for Zhuang Fei, these fans were cute and cruel, maybe a year later, when Adelson really succeeded here, then most of them would not be like this again, and when Zhuang Fei entered the team building, similar to the scene outside the building, there was a group of people Zhuang Fei didn't know before who were busy, When Zhuang Fei returned to his office, the team owner Grussbeck, the team's deputy general manager Danny Angie, the team's director of operations Michael Carr and his two assistants were all here, and these people hurriedly asked Zhuang Fei about the situation when they saw Zhuang Fei coming back.

"Zhuang, that guy didn't do anything to you, right" Grusbeck almost gritted his teeth and said the words of that guy when he mentioned Adelson, which also made Zhuang Fei a little funny in his heart, in fact, Adelson called his former boss the stupid donkey, which can also be seen from the grudge between the two people, but for the top students who graduated from Ivy League universities, it is difficult for Grusbaker to say such vulgar words as Adelson.

"Yes, Zhuang, did he do anything to you?" Before Zhuang Fei could answer, Danny Anji on the side also looked at Zhuang Fei with some worry and asked, while the others also looked at Zhuang Fei with the same worried face.

"What can he do to me, it's not that you don't know my contract situation, he can't do anything about me" Zhuang Fei finally shook his head with a smile and said. Hearing Zhuang Fei say this, Danny Anji, these people were also a little relieved. Soon, however, the faces of these people changed again.

"Zhuang, we were transferred by Adelson just now. I'm not the team's deputy general manager but the team's technical advisor, and Carl is the same, he's the team's commercial advisor now, and just when you left the team to see him, most of the team's administrative positions were changed, and some of the brothers who had been with the Celtics for a long time were even swept away, and Danny Angie and Carl and even the others were all gloomy when they said this. Zhuang Fei knows. Danny Ainge is ambitious for the team, and for him to be a technical consultant with the Celtics, such an idle position is difficult for him to accept, and on the other side, Karl is slightly better, he is the real type who feels happy as long as he can stay on this team, but what really makes him sad is that many people like him have been kicked away by Adelson. Of course, this also explains why Zhuang Fei saw so many people busy moving things when he came in.

"That bastard is completely cutting off people's back roads, he's breaking the Boston Celtics tradition" After Danny Ange finished speaking, Grussbeck, the former owner of the team on one side, also gritted his teeth again and said, what is the Boston Celtics tradition? No doubt. It goes without saying that the Celtics' bureaucracy is the tradition of this team, and the bureaucracy here is not a bad word, but a positive one, although it has caused a lot of damage to the Celtics in the past. But there is no doubt that the Celtics are definitely the best team for their own people, this team has a large number of people who don't need to do things but can get paid, especially Zhuang Fei and Danny Anji after the reform of these Celtics old people. Let them continue to be able to get paid in the team, but they don't need to do anything at all and they don't need to manage the team, for people like that. Zhuang Fei and Grusebeck they can take care of, but Adelson can't take care of it, for him, the Celtics need to change from beginning to end, he needs to transplant his most efficient team to the Celtics, these things that hinder their efficiency naturally can't exist, like Danny Angie and Karl The Celtic veterans can still be the most advisory, but for those who are one level lower, it is a tragedy, they are facing unemployment.

"Now maybe only the team's trainer and scouting system have not been changed" Finally, the team's assistant coach Thibodu also sighed and said, and Zhuang Fei also nodded at this time, Adelson will not change the team's trainer and scouting system as long as he is not stupid, the Celtics' scouting system is one of the best in the league, and the trainers are also the top in the league, these are extremely useful people for him, not only will he not change, but he will also win over.

"Zhuang, are you really resigning now?" Carl, the former director of operations of the Boston Celtics, who had been silent on the side, looked at Zhuang Fei at this time and asked with a worried face, for a Celtic diehard like him, he didn't want Zhuang Fei to leave in his heart, but he knew that he could tolerate being kicked off from the position of director of operations, which was almost equivalent to the position of general manager, for the sake of his love for the Celtics, but it was impossible for this Chinese to allow Adelson to become his boss, but even at this time, he still wanted to confirm it personally.

"Yes, I'm not the head coach of the Boston Celtics now" Zhuang Fei said with a smile after being stunned for a moment, which also made the surroundings silent again. But soon Zhuang Fei's words directly shocked these people.

"How can you get Celtic back without resigning?"

David Stern has been annoyed recently, this annoyance is actually understandable, not long ago the fifth game of the NBA Finals just became the most watched game in the basketball game, and the Donagee black whistle case proved that the impact on the NBA was not as big as he imagined, in this case he was extremely happy, and even he had given himself a week off to prepare for a vacation trip, but what people didn't expect was that the two teams that had just created a ratings miracle for him in the Finals were disrupted, The Lakers are now in turmoil with internal contradictions, and now almost everyone has become a place to see jokes, the dissolution of this team is almost certain, it is only a matter of time, and for him, he is the team that he least wants the Lakers to dissolve, the same Boston Celtics change of ownership is not something he wants to see, Boston Celtics change ownership also means that the Chinese will leave that team, when the time, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, the team that created a ratings miracle last season, will not appearFor the NBA, Carter vs. Jordan and Lakers vs. Celtics are the only two matchups that can break through 30 in the ratings, and now with Jordan's departure, the Lakers' civil strife and the Celtics' change of ownership, it can be said that these two matchups no longer exist.

And what made him even more annoying was that the Chinese just now made a direct phone call, questioning why he let Adelson join the Celtics, he can understand Zhuang Fei's anger, so he doesn't have too many ideas, if possible, he will not do anything that makes Zhuang Fei unhappy, but obviously, he has no choice in this matter, especially seeing the referee list that Adelson gave him makes him have no choice

June 23, 2004, this day is an extraordinary day for the Celtics, and the same is true for Zhuang Fei, just after returning home, Zhuang Fei made a phone call to David Stern, from the phone he also knew why David Stern, who has always been strong, would be soft in front of Adelson, because Adelson's NBA list of referees other than Donaghi who participated in gambling was too important to David Stern, Donaghi did not affect the NBA this time, David Stern also has to deal with it properly, but there is no doubt that David Stern will not allow such a thing to happen again, in this case, this list is the most timely thing, as long as all the referees in the list are kicked out in advance, then the hidden crisis in the NBA will be lifted immediately, in the face of such a temptation, in the end David Stern also compromised.

After getting the answer he wanted, Zhuang Fei could only sigh and dial Chris, who had been flying around New York and Atlanta recently, and now was the time to need his help. (To be continued.) )
