Chapter 624 Stern's successor
In the hotel where the Warriors stayed, Bruce looked helplessly at the serious Adam Silva in front of him. Even though he knew that what happened in the game before would be punished by the league, but now he saw The guy who succeeded Stern in his previous life came in person, which still surprised him very much!

"Adam, you know we can't interfere with the game!" Bruce shrugged and said helplessly.

"Mr. Bruce, as the owner of a team, and this team is also one of the teams that the league strongly recommends, so please tell me, what do you think now?"

Silva smiled and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then fell silent for a while!
Hearing Silva's words suddenly, Bruce's eyelids couldn't help but twitched, and he even complained in his heart!
Since Bruce tried his best to promote the holding of the regular season in China, although Stern gave the Warriors great convenience at the beginning, as time went by and new players appeared one after another, some of them could be seen before. So far, it can be said that the favoritism has been negligible!

According to Silva's words, the Warriors will definitely win the championship early in 02.

Of course, if it weren't for the lack of lineup and strength of the Warriors at that time, and the Lakers in their last glory period, it would be better than the Warriors being taken care of, otherwise the Warriors would really not be able to advance that season. Get the championship!
Under Bruce's operation, after the Warriors finally won the championship, Stern seemed to be cold-hearted, and basically never talked with Bruce about the Asian Raiders in person!

Now, due to some uncontrollable accidents among the players, Stern actually sent Silva, whom everyone knew was his confidant, to Minneapolis. Erva's role is a big stick, telling him Bruce to be honest!
"I'm sorry, Adam, I will take care of the player's affairs seriously, but as for the praise of the league, to be honest, I don't feel it at all!"

Bruce looked at Silva with a smile on his face, but said with a hint of indifference in his tone.

After hearing what Bruce said, Silva's eyes shrank subconsciously, obviously hearing dissatisfaction and a trace of undetectable disdain from the other party's words!

"Well, Mr. Bruce, I hope you can have a good talk with your players!"

Silva stood up slowly and quietly, stretched out his right hand and shook Bruce tightly, and then left the room with a smile on his face!
"Hehe, if you believe me, my IQ may be directly classified as an idiot!"

It's not that Bruce really disdains dealing with the alliance, but Stern's behavior style that makes him uncomfortable, especially the use of threats, makes Bruce disgusted!

If the fans and players in the previous life bombarded Stern's dictatorship and various problems, Bruce was still a little hesitant when he first came here, but after getting in touch with the president, he thoroughly understood these fans. And the authenticity in the words of the players!
Now, even if Bruce's words may bring some accidents to the Warriors, he doesn't care at all, it all depends on the Warriors' strong lineup and harmonious atmosphere!

The third game with the Timberwolves was over. In order to enable the players to make better preparations, after discussing with Bruce, West and Wilkens, they did not choose to return to Oakland!
And out of concern for Charlize Theron, after hesitating, Bruce called her. After confirming that the other party was fine, he finally stayed here with peace of mind!
In the target center, Saunders stared at the players training on the court with a solemn face, seeing the exhaustion and depression on their faces, he couldn't help feeling anxious!
When everyone was thinking about their own affairs, with the appearance of Silva, Sanders ran over hurriedly and enthusiastically under the accident!
"Hey Adam, how are you doing??"

Sanders shook hands with Silva with a smile, and then he explained to his assistant coach, and took Silva to the lounge in the training hall!

"Hehe, it's been very good recently!"

There was a flash of appreciation in Silva's eyes, and he happily followed Sanders to the lounge!
Pushing the door and entering the room, Sanders closed the door subconsciously, first poured Silva a cup of hot coffee, and then said with some doubts: "Can you tell me the purpose of coming here?"

"Hehe, I just came to see it!"

Silva picked up the coffee and took a sip, then said slowly with a smile on his face!

"Hehe, let's chat for a while!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Sanders' eyes, and he said with a smile.

As the two seemed to be talking enthusiastically about some political and alliance matters, when Silva finished the coffee in his hand, he put down the cup and said with deep meaning: "David is very interested in this series. I am very concerned and hope that you can contribute to a very good series!"

After finishing speaking, Silva picked up the bag on the table, hugged Sanders with a smile on his face, and then turned his head and left the lounge with an inexplicable smile!

"Hehe, it looks like there is a good show to watch!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Sanders' eyes, and he smiled and muttered in a low voice!
On May 5, as the final game between the Warriors and Timberwolves was about to start, a large number of local fans and media poured into the Target Center!

Because they lost to the Warriors in three consecutive games, this game obviously became the last chance for the Timberwolves. Once they still end the game with a loss, they will pack up their salutes with great loss, Fishing for fishing, vacation for vacation!

In this game, the league not only unexpectedly replaced the referee among the three referees with the little-known Tim Donaghy as the referee of the game, but the authoritative referees Crawford, Barbara None of Vita, Javi and others appeared on the court!
In the commentary booth, TNT not only sent Barkley and Kenny Smith to the game, they also sent Bill Walton, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, from this. What a game that attracts attention!

"Haha, everyone is welcome to come to this arena. Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Bill Walton will commentate for you in the upcoming games!"

As Kenny Smith introduced the three of them very quickly, and then under his teasing, he quickly entered his role!
"Wow, Bill, I haven't seen you for a long time, did that donkey named Kenny miss you?"

Suddenly hearing Smith still not forgetting the sarcasm, Wharton first showed a trace of helplessness, and then he spread his hands and said, "Hey, man, I thought we were already even!"

"Hahaha, I remember the bet between you two, it was so funny!!"

Seeing Wharton's appearance, Barkley, who was basically wearing a pair of pants with Kenny Smith, laughed and made fun of him!

"Damn it, why didn't you let us enter our roles??" Even though Wharton had kept this incident in his memory forever, he still felt a sense of disgust when he heard the two guys still teasing. A little depressed and angry!

"Okay, okay, buddy, let's forget about that damn kiss!" Kenny Smith joked one last sentence, and then changed the subject: "In this game, I think the Timberwolves will definitely show their biggest Energy to treat, once they lose this game, I think Kevin will go back to his mother and cry!"

"Haha, I like your expression. As you said, once the Warriors can continue to sweep and advance to the Western Conference semifinals, I think they will be omnipotent in the following games!" Barkley said. Said with a firm face, obviously he has extremely strong confidence in the Warriors!
"Of course, even if the Warriors can still win the Timberwolves with a score of 4:0, I still believe that the Timberwolves with Kevin will completely throw away their burdens and strive for a victory with the craziest performance!" Wharton seemed to be subconsciously playing the role of the opponent. As soon as Barkley finished speaking, he spoke slowly with a hint of provocation and confidence in his tone.

"Hey, Bill, if you can, can you also have a very interesting bet with me?" Buckley said to Wharton slowly with a playful face, watching the other person's face suddenly become extremely weird and hesitant , he couldn't help laughing and said: "I bet the Warriors will use 4:0 to continue to consolidate their status as the dominant player in the league, what about you? Bill??"

"Aha, looks like they're coming out!!"

After hearing what Barkley said, Walton hurriedly interrupted the topic after seeing players from both sides appearing in the player tunnel. He ignored Barkley's ridiculous laugh and pointed directly at the player tunnel. The location said!
In the stands, Bruce frowned and sat at the back of the Warriors' dugout. Looking at the three very unfamiliar referees on the field, he couldn't help feeling a little bad in his heart!

"Jerry, do you have any impression of these guys?"

Bruce frowned and turned to West who was sitting next to him, obviously he didn't remember who the three referees were!
"Hehe, it's just a few guys who have been in the league for less than ten years. Of course, you may have some impressions of Tim Donaghy, who was appointed as the referee by the league tonight!"

West said nonchalantly, but what he said made Bruce stunned!

Donaghy's name can be described as thunderous, and the famous "Black Whistle Gate" in the previous life was created by this guy alone!
Even though they have their own referee union, it is really difficult for the referee union to influence Stern's decision in arranging the coaching link during the game!
But now, the league directly put this notorious referee in the previous life on the court, which made Bruce feel extremely angry!
