Michael Reinsdorff hummed an unknown song as he passed by the general manager's office. He saw that it was dark inside and there was a faint flicker of light. He glanced at it curiously and found that his men were still working hard even though most of the staff at the headquarters had already left work.
However, it was strange that Garr Forman was working hard.
He had been staring at the computer screen, his expression constantly changing. No one knew what he was thinking. The occasional smile on her face was very strange in the dark surroundings, and only the bright screen shone. It made people shudder, as if they were watching a horror movie.
"Why didn't you turn on the lights? Help me save on the electricity bill?"
Michael Reinsdorff walked into the office with a smile. With a "pop", he pressed the switch with one hand, and the entire office lit up.
"Oh, it's Little Boss!"
Jia 'er Forman woke up from the state of concentration of staring at the computer screen and found that it was a rather handsome middle-aged man. He immediately smiled and wanted to stand up to welcome him. However, Michael Reinsdorff made a gesture of not being polite to him. He walked up to him naturally and placed his hands on the desk. He asked with interest,
"What?" Did the team encounter any difficulties?”
"No!"
Jia 'er Forman shook his head. He stood up and invited Reinsdorff to sit down. Then he smiled and said,""I'm watching the replay of the game between the team and the New York Nets.”
"Did we win?" Reinsdorff asked.
He had something to do today and did not pay much attention to the team, so he asked.
"We won. We won by a large margin. The Nets were defenseless under our bombardment and suffered a crushing defeat.”Jia 'er Forman replied.
"Oh, then what are you still researching? Was there anything that he was not satisfied with?”Reinsdorff asked again.
In 2013, he took over the ownership of the Bulls from his father, Jerry Reinsdorff, and officially became the owner of the team. He was different from his father's stingy style. After the Bulls completely belonged to his own industry, he wanted to show off his skills and build the team into a glorious career that surpassed his father's when he was still in charge.
However, when he took over, the team's lineup was already lifeless. Ross, who was once the pride of the team, had fallen rapidly from his peak. He had been plagued by injuries all year round, and he was in a terrible state when he played. At that time, the team was also in a state of decline. The only player in the paint was the veteran Gasol. Butler had just grown up and was not yet fully qualified for the core position of the team.
He had enough patience with Ross, but he was always affected by injuries. His condition had never returned to its peak and had been declining year after year. Therefore, in the summer, he gave Gal Forman a firm and ruthless order to quickly support Butler and build a new lineup with the latter as the core.
As a result, there was the matter of the core player being traded to the New York Knicks.
Originally, he thought that after Rose's departure, the team would have a painful period of one or two years, and their record would fall straight into the lottery. Unexpectedly, in the summer, they were able to sign the superstar Wade and recruit Rajon Rondo from the free market to form a new lineup of the Big Three. Even though the three giants were a little like a poor man's team, each of them had either passed their peak or were still in the growth stage. Rondo was a different kind of point guard who was good at getting strange data.
But so what? Reinsdorff believed that no matter how bad the Big Three were, they were still the Big Three. They could bring more popularity to their home ground, sell more tickets, and attract unprecedented attention.
What made him even more excited was that he did not expect the team to get rid of the big contract guy, Ty gibson, who was confirmed to be unable to keep him, in exchange for an unexpected talented rookie, Lu Yi.
He had watched the latter's matches and discovered too many surprises from his performance in each match. He wished he could hug Jia 'er Forman's head and kiss it to show his respect.
Ever since Gale Forman took office, not only did he win over Ross Ross in the draft, but he also quickly turned the team into a youth team with Ross as the leader. He swept away the muddle-headed Bulls from 10 years ago.
When Ross was no longer at his peak and sent away, he brought another unremarkable rookie to the team. After two matches, they all realized that this rookie was a treasure. He was extremely talented, had comprehensive abilities, and had an accurate three-pointer.
Originally, it was just an addition to the trade for gibson. Unexpectedly, it was a gem with the potential to be a superstar that was no less than Ross, or even better. It seemed that the Chicago Bulls were not far from returning to their peak.
In the past few years, Gal Forman had made a few entries and made a few moves. He had a discerning eye and extraordinary ability. In Reinsdorff's eyes, he was simply the embodiment of ability and luck.
"I'm observing Lu's performance, boss!”
Jia 'er Forman didn't know what his little boss thought of him. Instead, he pointed at Lu Yi, who was rushing to the basket and slamming into the ball against Big Lopes.
"Oh? How was his performance? Isn't he outstanding?"
Under the influence of Gar Forman and Hoiberg, Reinsdorff had been paying attention to Lu Yi for a long time, and he was very concerned about his opponent's performance in every game.
"Excellent. He scored the highest 30 points in the game again tonight.”Jia 'er Forman replied with a smile.
"Then what are you so conflicted about?”
Reinsdorff moved his chair and sat beside him. He looked at the screen and stared at Lu Yi's figure without blinking.
Jia 'er Forman rubbed his brows and smiled bitterly."It's exactly because he's so good that Fred and I struggle. Even though it was only three games, he had performed much better than Jimmy. He was even more talented and capable than Jimmy.”
"However, he didn't get much possession of the ball in the game. The starting point of the attack was either Dwyane or Jimmy. In particular, Jimmy, we only decided to support him as the core two seasons ago, and now most of the ball is in his hands.”
"That's why it's a headache. In our opinion, Lu is more suitable to be the core.”
"Then what are you guys still hesitating about?”Reinsdorff didn't comment, thinking that their predicament was nonsense and unreasonable. He sneered and said,"Since you think Lu is more suitable, then do as you think.”
"What's there to hesitate about?”
"It's not like he's the only core of Bull!”
"I like this basketball player very much. I think his role in the Bulls is more than ten Jimmy's, especially the market behind him. Think about that big basketball player in Houston.”
(Sorry, everyone. I went back to my hometown to sweep the graves today and was exhausted. I only rushed back now to write a chapter update. I'm late. Sorry!）
