Chapter 246 Creating a Comfortable Environment
The next day, as the All-Star game approached, all the stars in the league, with the support of the fans, competed for the most eye-catching starting lineup in the East and West!
"It's really intense!" Bruce watched the broadcast of the All-Star voting on TV, and seeing the familiar names on it, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Is this the beginning of a new generation?"

Since the 96th rookie and Duncan's gradual growth, last season's All-Stars showed a slight alternation of old and new!

As these super giants gradually showed their superstar demeanor, the stars of the 88th and 86th classes gradually faded out of the All-Star stage!
"In the new century, this upcoming All-Star event in Washington DC is a very exciting event. There will be a large number of superstars competing here!"

"Vince Carter last season really surprised everyone. With his super performance and explosive dunks, he became the queen of votes last season, and he still spends nearly 100 million in the current vote. The amazing score of votes leads the entire league!"

"Apart from Vince Carter's success, the most exciting thing is the Lakers' super twins, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant!"

"By relying on the tacit cooperation, the two tasted the taste of the championship for the first time last season. This season, as the tacit understanding between the two has become more mature and stronger, they have shown a very firm determination to defend the championship!"

"Currently, with 75 votes and 70 votes, the two are temporarily in the same group as Allen Iverson in the East!"

Watching the host on TV explaining the All-Stars and the votes of those superstars, Bruce couldn't help but burst into joy!

Since Carter's shocking slam dunk performance last season, even though he has refused to participate in the slam dunk contest this season due to the team's reasons, Carter still gained huge attention with his super performance last season!
Although Carter's votes aroused huge doubts last season, since the beginning of this season's voting, there have been only a few articles about such voices!
Excluding the leading superstars in the first group, Chris Webber of the Kings, Tim Duncan of the Spurs and Jason Kidd of the Suns, these three players are the most likely to get the most votes in addition to the above-mentioned players. Break through a million stars!
Although Alonzo Mourning and Grant Hill failed to return to the court due to serious injuries, they still won a lot of votes, which also shows the super influence of the two in the NBA!

After watching the report on the All-Star voting on TV, and thinking about the situation that is about to enter the second half of the season, Bruce couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency!

When the Warriors finally had some minor injuries, Wilkens discussed with Bruce for the protection of the players and to reserve energy for the real battlefield of the playoffs. Rotation system so that they can better prepare for the playoffs!
When the Warriors were about to play against the Charlotte Hornets at home on January 1, a news came out that suddenly shocked the entire media who had hacked Bruce and the fans of his team who were waiting to see the good show!

"Did Bruce Young's Deal Really Go Wrong? "

"When Bruce traded Danny Fortson to the Grizzlies, everyone thought he had made an amazing loss-making deal. At that time, everyone gloated and said that the Warriors were about to collapse!"

"Now, we have received news from the Grizzlies that Danny Fortson will not be able to play again this season due to a serious knee injury, and may miss most of the regular season games next season!"

"Is this a coincidence? Or did Bruce know that something would happen to this powerful player, and the last deal he made?"

"Here we have to feel sorry for what happened to Danny Fortson!"

Bruce drove the car to the arena alone. When he heard the regrettable news on the radio, he thought of the faces of those clowns before, and he couldn't help showing a mocking look on his face!

When the car slowly drove into the stadium, especially when he heard the announcer's words at the end, Bruce, as he said, was full of regret and regret for Fortson's experience!

Opening the car door, Bruce handed the keys to the team's service personnel, nodded slightly, and then walked into the arena!
After the last discussion with Wilkens on Carter's contract renewal, after Bruce combined some of his own understanding with other teams' various methods of contract renewal for free agents, this made him suddenly understand a truth!
If you want to keep the pillars of these teams, a top-level contract may seem a little insufficient. Therefore, while preparing to pay the maximum salary, Bruce has done a lot of work in the team and the locker room!

When the players drove to the arena one after another, they suddenly found a smiling staff member waiting in front of their parking space.

"Mr. Vince, we are from the team service department. If you don't mind, we will do some small maintenance for your car!"

Carter looked at the service staff in front of him in surprise, and couldn't help being surprised when he heard the other party's words!
The service staff took the car keys subconsciously handed over by Carter with a smile, nodded slightly, and he drove Carter's car to the other side of the parking lot!
When the other players handed the keys to the service staff with weird faces, Nowitzki, who arrived first with Carter, couldn't help walking towards him with a weird look on his face!
"Vince, is this the boss' arrangement?"

Carter shook his head in confusion, glanced at the other service staff who were still standing decently in front of a few parking spaces, and asked curiously, "Why don't we ask the boss?"

Hearing Carter's words, Nowitzki nodded in agreement, and then the two walked towards the arena with curiosity!
When Dampier was the last one to hand over the key to the service staff, there was an exclamation in the Warriors locker room!

"This is so cool!!"

"I love this exciting pair of headphones!"

"Aha, I can finally catch a Mariah Carey update right before the game!"

In the locker room, pieces of the latest 13-inch monitors are placed outside the door of the player's wardrobe, plus a pair of top-notch music headphones and a surprising game controller. This is not a player's locker room. A small rec room too!

Carter and the others happily tried the functions of these products one by one. When the TV was turned on, Bruce's smiling face was the first thing that came into view!
"Guys, how do you feel?? Surprised?"

Everyone looked at the familiar figure on the TV in surprise, even though it was just a video, they still nodded subconsciously!
"Haha, I hope you can be satisfied with the fun brought by these gadgets!"

"Beep!"

After Bruce finished speaking, the screen suddenly went dark, and then the screens of channels across the United States resumed!
"Oh!!" Carter and the others looked at each other subconsciously, seeing each other's surprised expressions, they all shouted in cheers!

Hearing the cheers from the locker room, Bruce, who had already arrived outside the locker room, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

"It seems that these guys are very satisfied!" Bruce glanced at the door of the locker room in a very good mood, whistled inexplicably, and walked slowly towards the arena!
Because Bruce holds a small share of Microsoft, he has unique innate conditions in some of the latest products!
After making this decision, Bruce had only one voice in his heart, that is, "use a comfortable environment and a warm atmosphere to make all players who come to the Warriors feel the warmth of "home"!"

With this kind of consideration, part of it is because of the contract renewal of Carter and others, and a large part of it is to say that Bruce is copying Cuban's treatment of players!

In the arena, as the beautiful figures of the cheerleaders ran out of the stadium, the players of both sides finally came out of the player tunnel!
This season, because of the health of Jamal Mashburn, the Hornets have performed very well!

After possessing PJ Brown and Baron Davis one after another, the Hornets suddenly became one of the strong teams in the East!

If you add Eldon Campbell's outbreak and David Wesley's good performance, the Hornets' good performance this season is very easy to understand!
Sitting in his seat, Bruce looked at the Warriors players who were in a very good mood, and murmured in a low voice: "I hope I can create a team that makes all players feel comfortable!"

As the players on both sides walked towards the rest area, Bruce subconsciously looked in the direction of the Hornets!

This season, Baron Davis has gradually shown the strength of a high-ranking pick.

Although this is Davis' second season, he has gradually become the best choice for the starter by virtue of his own strength and the deliberate training of the Hornets!
In the last season, I don't know if the Hornets lacked training for Davis. Although Davis maintained full attendance throughout the season, he only averaged 18 minutes of playing time per game!
However, this season has just started, and this guy who has grown a beard has gradually set new playing time!

Davis has played so far with his good performance. After the early time was increased to 30 minutes, Paul Silas, the head coach of the Hornets, suddenly adjusted his time to about 38 minutes, which also made Davis suddenly explode. Out of a huge energy!
Looking at Davis and Wesley, especially the latter, Bruce couldn't help but think of the defender's days in the Rockets. He still remembers the player's good performance in the Rockets!
"Hehe, looking at these "familiar" faces is really a pleasant thing!" Bruce recalled the comparison between those stars in his previous life and the immatureness now, and he was so excited that he couldn't tell!
