Chapter 306 Named "Prince"

Bruce sat blankly on the sofa in the living room, watching the "Twin Towers" collapsing on the TV, feeling indescribably complicated in his heart!

Following the collapse of the Twin Towers, the U.S. government banned all domestic flights over New York and Washington.

For international flights, no matter which airport they fly to in the United States, the Air Defense Command has issued a no-air order to land nearby!

Bush held an emergency press conference in Florida, expressing his sincere apologies to the entire United States in a very sad tone!
Bruce subconsciously turned off the TV. Although he had seen the scene of the collapse of the Twin Towers on the news in his previous life, he could not be said to be at the scene, but he could also be said to be in the United States!
Especially in the live broadcast of the TV station, he saw a group of people fleeing helplessly, together with the desperate people falling like raindrops, he deeply felt the rampant arrogance of the terrorists!

At this moment, the phone placed in the living room suddenly rang, and then Bruce rubbed his somewhat numb face, and walked over with a somewhat vain footsteps!

"Hi, I'm Bruce Young!"

Hearing Bruce's vain voice, Stern's face was filled with sadness, and he said, "Have you read the news?"

"Yes!!" Hearing Stern's voice, Bruce swallowed subconsciously and said slowly.

"This is a sad day for America, what did those damned guys do???" Stern's tone was calm at first, but then he yelled hysterically!

Bruce understood his feelings very well, presumably Stern must have been working at the NBA headquarters when the plane crashed into the building!
Suddenly, the two could only hear each other's gasps through the earpiece. After a while, Stern said with some grief: "As a member of the United States, we should use practical actions to condemn and inspire the people!"

Hearing this, Bruce suddenly felt a little awkward. Even though the owner of this body holds American citizenship, he is a real Chinese after all.

Now that I suddenly heard Stern say that, it would be a lie if I didn't say that I felt uncomfortable!

"We should do this!" Bruce asked in a cold tone!
"The league will launch all team owners and players to give a speech and inspire confidence in this terrorist attack, so... I hope you owners can participate in it!"

"Is that all?" Bruce said impatiently, feeling suddenly agitated.

Hearing Bruce's words, a trace of astonishment flashed across Stern's face. Thinking of the frightening moment before, he said very understandingly: "That's right, we should support the federal government's fight against terror with our due actions." Molecular determination!"

"Okay!" Bruce said, and then he said a few perfunctory words, and then hung up the phone!
"America?? Haha!!" Bruce looked at the unfamiliar environment through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa, with a bitter smile on his face!

Subsequently, three days after the U.S. government issued the air ban, air traffic was officially resumed across the United States!
Afterwards, under the presence of all the bosses and a group of superstars, at the headquarters in New York, Stern launched a speech strongly condemning terrorism. Give strong support to the next terrorist attack!

After the trip to New York was over, even though Bruce gradually regained his composure, news about the terrorist attack appeared on TV from time to time, which still made him very upset.

Then, after a week of silence, the NBA finally saw some small trades and player signings!

"Bruce, our subordinate team has basically completed the final framework, what is missing now is where we will be the team's home field!" Mullin rubbed his temples, this summer is simply a challenge for him. Unbelievable season for him!
Under the operation of Mullin and the professional team of the Warriors, this team belonging to the Warriors, from the coaches to the players, and even the team's medical team and physical trainers, everything is waiting for Bruce to make the final decision. Named for this team!
Bruce looked apologetically at Mullin, who had tired eyes, got up and poured him a glass of warm water to quench his thirst, and then thought deeply: "I have thought about the team's home game before!"

"Although our home stadium is a very suitable arena, after all, they will collide with us in some games, so we must find another place to get the best training and competition environment!"

After listening to Bruce's words, Mullin took a big sip from his water glass, and then said a little emotionally, "How is San Francisco?"

"San Francisco?" Bruce thought subconsciously when he heard the name at first!
As one of the largest Chinese gathering areas in the United States, San Francisco has a natural ball market waiting for Bruce's development. If Cohan and the local government of Oakland hadn't signed a multi-year contract in 95 (made up), I'm afraid Bruce would Moved the team there in the first place!

Now, although this team is just a sub-league of the NBA, in his opinion, San Francisco must be extremely excited to accept the arrival of this team!
"San Francisco is extremely rich in resources. Even if we are in Oakland now, we can feel the enthusiasm from San Francisco fans, which will bring obvious good growth to our football market!" Looking forward to analyzing the San Francisco market!

"Yes, there are a huge number of fans there eager to get an NBA team. Since they won't have one for the time being, why don't they consider NBDL?" Thinking of the huge fan market in San Francisco, Bruce stood up excitedly, With a wave of his right hand: "That's it!!"

In mid-September, as the United States issued the most powerful anti-terrorism statement, the Taliban armed forces, which were somewhat proud of themselves, gradually fell into a temporary silence!

Every day, a large number of people go to New York to hold some simple condolences for the dead. Everyone will remember what happened on this day. No one can forget that 3254 people have left this world forever, and no one can forget the past The "Twin Towers" are the second tallest buildings in the United States!
San Francisco.

Tom Cummings, as the chief executive of the San Francisco region, has great power. Even if some senior officials from the White House come, he is only cautious and has no fear in his heart. All this is because he and A close relationship between Bush Jr.!
"Sir, what do you think about the team under the Warriors?" As the president of the Athletic Association in the San Francisco area, Joan Francis is looking forward to San Francisco having a professional team, even if it is a team that is more important than the NBA. He is also very happy with the lower level team!

"Joan, you know what I always think about owning a team. I have negotiated with that goddamn cheapskate Chris Cohan more than once, and then he has done another contract extension with Oakland for some trivial benefits. , I just want to say FK!!" Tom Cummings, who is full of white hair and somewhat mellow, felt disgusted and angry when he mentioned Cohan!

Especially thinking of Cohan's infuriating bargaining on the floor back then, he just wanted to find someone to fix him!
"Sir, you must be aware of what happened back then!" Joan Francis obviously didn't want to keep entangled in this issue, especially since he knew exactly who was stingy on both sides.

"Okay, buddy!" When Tom Cummings treated his own people, he was like a gangster, and he didn't look as amiable as he looked on the surface!

"Joan, this time we have to win this team no matter what, I think Mr. Bruce will be very happy to keep the team in the San Francisco area!" Tom Cummings said meaningfully, and then waved Signal the other party to leave!

Joan Francis was so excited to get his answer!

In order to get a professional team, he almost couldn't sleep because of it, especially after he missed the Warriors last time, he felt inexplicable anxiety!
Well now, although this team is not a top team, but he belongs to the hugely successful Warriors.

With Bruce's first-class operation and management, coupled with his amazing vision, Joan Francis is very sure about the future of this subordinate team!
Oakland, Bruce had just finished washing when he heard the doorbell ring!

Subconsciously looking at his pajamas, Bruce smiled mischievously, and then walked over with two slippers!

"Click it!~"

Bruce opened the door, and when he saw the person outside the door, he couldn't help but feel a burst of consternation: "Uh... Joan, why are you here?"

For Bruce, Joan Francis is not a stranger. When he first took over the Warriors, the president of the San Francisco Athletic Association had a pretty good meeting with him!

However, now that this guy who doesn't communicate often appears at his door, Bruce really feels a little rare!
"Haha, young man, don't you welcome me?" Joan Francis smiled heartily, and then cast her funny eyes at the pajamas he was wearing.

"Aha, what are you talking about!" Bruce touched his chin in embarrassment, and then invited him in with his right hand!

Entering the villa, Joan Francis looked around, and then said with some regret: "Bruce, you are still so deserted here!"

Bruce froze for a moment, smiled wryly and shook his head: "Joan, you know!"

"Of course, if you can devote half of your energy to the team to your family, I will definitely be your son or daughter's godfather!" The admiration flashed across Joan Francis's face. I admire everything this young man has done!

"Haha, unless the Warriors can get the same honor as the Lakers, I won't stop!" The seemingly joking words came out of Bruce's mouth, surprisingly revealing a feeling of extreme confidence!

"Well, young man, I wish you an early achievement!" Joan Francis put her bag aside and sat down on the sofa.

Bruce guessed a little bit about his arrival, first brought him a bottle of purified water, and then went straight to the point: "Joan, shouldn't you be staying at the headquarters in San Francisco now?"

Joan Francis shrugged helplessly, and said very calmly: "Of course I would like to stay in an air-conditioned room in this damn summer, but who told me that I really want to join your subordinate team?"

"Joan, it's your confession that I like very much!" Bruce sat across from him, looked at him with a smile, and said, "What kind of treatment can San Francisco provide for me and my team!"

"Taxes, venues, publicity, and some incentive sponsorships!!" Joan Francis said very simply. He had discussed this proposal with Tom Cummings long ago!

"It's really attractive!" A look of surprise appeared on Bruce's face, he was very satisfied with the conditions offered by San Francisco!
"Of course, we showed the greatest sincerity!" Joan Francis said very seriously, and then changed the topic: "Before that, can you tell me the name of the team?"

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Bruce suddenly showed a trace of excitement on his face, and said solemnly: "Prince, that's right! It's the prince!!"
