Chapter 532 James's popularity and Bowen's departure
The next day, in Bruce's villa, Charlize Theron was frowning and cleaning up the stains under the bed. The room still smelled of wine, not to mention how uncomfortable it made her!

"Damn it, I hate hangover guys!!" Charlize Theron glanced at Bruce who was still limp on the bed, wrinkled her small nose, resisted the attack of the smell of wine, and quickly carried the Basin of filth trots out of the room!

"Uh.."

Bruce, who was lying on the bed pretending to be a dead pig, after hearing Charlize Theron leave quickly, resisted the pain in his head and opened his eyes: "Oh, this is really self-inflicted!!"

Yesterday, after a grand float parade, as the venue entered the hottest situation again and again, after the grand event ended, with the excitement in my heart, even though Bruce i had already prepared a show at night Preparations for the grand party, but with Barkley and others pouring ferociously, he got down on the ground once again with glory!
Thinking of all of them, Bruce felt a little fear of drinking at this moment!
After a long while, when Bruce frowned and wanted to pick up the cool white tea placed on the bedside table, he couldn't help laughing wryly as a soft voice appeared!
"If you lie down like this next time, I swear I will throw you out of the villa directly!!" Charlize Theron looked at Bruce's pale cheeks, even though her heart ached, but she still said viciously.

"Sorry, Charlize, you should know why I did this!" Bruce smiled wryly, and after taking the water glass, he drank it upside down in one gulp, and then Baba, who was still a little dissatisfied, looked at it with a feigned anger Dear Charlize Theron.

"you."

After a while, Charlize Theron was completely defeated by Bruce's pitiful expression. After she poured a new glass for Bruce, she said with some discomfort: "Jerry (West) hopes you wake up and He made a phone call!"

After taking the water glass, Bruce watched Charlize Theron leave angrily, shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "We are really hard-working!"

On June 6th, with all the celebrations after the Warriors won the championship, the 17 draft, which was suppressed by their media bombardment, was in the early trial training of some teams. Everyone's attention!
West frowns and sits in his office, looking at the scouts handed over to him in his hands, about some player information of this year, he can't help but slowly close it with some regret!

"Hey, why didn't Bruce agree to the team's trade?" West thought of the information about this lottery show in the information, and couldn't help but said a little depressed: "These guys are all good stuff for top players. !"

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as West continued to sigh with emotion, with a knock on the door, a haggard Bruce frowned and went straight in!
"Damn, I hate hangovers!!"

Bruce first went straight to the bar in the corner and poured himself a glass of water, then walked towards West with resentment on his face!
Seeing Bruce's appearance like this, West, who was still a little depressed, suddenly relaxed!

"Hehe, little guy, although alcohol can make people enjoy it with their eyes closed, but drinking too much can make people infinitely annoyed!" West said to Bruce playfully, as if venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, teasing Said: "Do you want to drink and chat with me??"

"Oh God, you got around me!!"

Bruce is now talking about drinking, he didn't dare to provoke this old guy, and then changed the subject and said: "About this year's draft, do you have anything to say?"

"Hehe, it's not a good boy to change the subject!" West said jokingly, and then pushed the information on the table to him with a smile: "Look, these guys are so eye-catching!! "

Reluctantly accepting the information handed over by West, Bruce saw an extremely detailed introduction about James at a glance on the first page after opening it!

With his explosive physical fitness, top basketball IQ, and hardworking and tenacious spirit, if Bruce didn't know very well that the Cavaliers would hardly be able to trade their No. [-] pick, he would definitely try his best to get this guy!

"Hey, we can only look at these people!" Thinking of the team's configuration, Bruce couldn't help shaking his head regretfully!
In the case of the Warriors, although Barkley and others have not clearly expressed their willingness to retire, people with a discerning eye can basically hear something in some of their usual words!
And now the enviable lineup of the 03 class, although Bruce is also very eager, but after the team has core players such as Nowitzki and Duncan, it is obviously impossible for him to consider these guys anymore!
"Bruce, why can't we try to train any of these guys??" West still persuaded Bruce with some unwillingness. For him, it is obviously a matter of discovering a top star. It was something he enjoyed very much, but now Bruce's refusal really made this talented old man very depressed!

"just forget it!"

Bruce rubbed his head in confusion, and said so in frustration!

"Well, since you are determined not to touch these guys, who would you choose for the sixth pick in our hand??" West took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose in frustration, and said weakly!
"Sorry, Jerry, it looks like I'll have to go into remission for two days!!"

Suddenly, Bruce couldn't help showing a look of wanting to vomit, and even if he only had time to finish this sentence, he ran out of the office in a hurry!

West stared blankly at Bruce disappearing into his office, and for a moment he suppressed a smile, and said in an uneducable manner: "Oh, if you can't drink, you should drink less!"

As time approached the start date of the draft, the scandals that broke out in the league really surprised everyone!
As the draft was approaching, the news of the sudden arrest of Blazers star Damon Stoudemire, in the media's reports, suddenly caused a lot of fluctuations in the originally harmonious atmosphere!

After a few days of relief, after seeing the news on Tuesday, Bruce couldn't help but said to West at the desk: "Although we know something about Damon, once we find out Some of our players have taken drugs, I hope you can impose severe penalties to avoid damage to the image of the team and players after being known by the public!"

"Of course, I don't want a drug addict to appear under my staff!!" West said solemnly. After experiencing the black age before the NBA, he can say that he hates drugs!

On June 6, with four days left before the draft, it will be held at Madison Square Garden in New York. All the media will focus on the top rookies, especially LeBron James. Shocked and eye-catching!

On the second floor of the Warriors training hall, Bruce frowned and looked at the ten or so newspapers on the table. He saw that the headlines all praised James as "the savior" and "Jordan II", or that he had Jordan's body, Magic Johnson, etc. He couldn't help being surprised by the metaphor of IQ!
In the previous life, although James received a lot of attention in China in the year of the draft, compared to the situation reported by the American media all over the country, it is obviously a bit insignificant!

In the dissemination of major newspapers and TV media across the United States, James suddenly became the most exciting young man in the league!

Just like some sane media said, although James' talent and future are indeed exciting, after all, the current league is still the era of Duncan, Kobe, Nowitzki and others!

"Jerry, isn't the popularity of these newspapers too much?" Bruce asked with a puzzled frown as he piled up the newspapers with a frown!
"Hehe, it seems that David's strategy is still successful!!" West's eyes flashed an imperceptible sarcasm, and he said playfully: "Since Michael announced his retirement, the NBA market has indeed gone through a dark period. But as their efforts to promote the world gradually show their effectiveness, the birth of a superstar will be inevitable!"

"I also understand this a bit, but isn't David worried about chasing a young guy like this?"

Hearing what Bruce said, West couldn't help laughing and said: "Then what if David's strategy succeeds?"

"Uh."

Bruce is completely speechless, and the real situation is just like what West said, James has already shown his superstar background, and some clues can be seen only from his killer qualities in the high school arena !
"Okay, let's interrupt this topic first!" Bruce, who couldn't think of a one, two, three, shrugged helplessly, then changed the subject and said: "For this year's draft, I think we need a rookie Replace B Bowen who may leave the Warriors!"

"Um???"

West looked at Bruce in disbelief, he was very shocked by the news!
"Before, after we finished all the celebrations, Bruce called me himself!" Bruce said in a calm tone with a trace of helplessness and inexplicable solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"Don't he think it's a very happy thing to play in such a team?" West still couldn't believe it, he couldn't help asking!
"Hehe, what if it was Greg's invitation??" Bruce couldn't help flashing a flash of anger in his eyes when he thought of the old guy far away in San Antonio!
"Greg??" West was stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand Popovich very well!

Before, after the Warriors finished all the celebrations, Bowen's sudden phone call put Bruce into a tangle!
Without him, following Bowen's apologetic narration, he really felt a little angry and entangled with Popovich's intentions!

Originally, after the championship celebration, Bruce prepared an average annual contract of 400 million US dollars for Bowen, but with the arrival of this call, he really promised Popovich the annual average of 450 million US dollars and starting The six-year contract is depressed!

In the Warriors, with Kirilenko's rapid growth, even though Bowen's role on the defensive end is still the same as before, after all, Kirilenko, who is excellent in offense and defense, is already more suitable for the Warriors' tactical layout!

And since the second half of this season, Bowen's time in the starting position has indeed been affected!
　The third one!

　　I'm sorry, maybe because of staying up late to type, the old wolf actually missed the finals MVP awards ceremony. Here, the old wolf sincerely apologizes. This kind of thing will never happen in the future. I hope my friends will be more understanding !

　　The MVP cliff of the finals belongs to Tim Duncan, this guy can be a big killer for the Warriors!
