Chapter 129 Transaction Value

Bruce looked at the workers who were installing a huge English sign on the roof, and felt very puzzled by the weird proposal of the Rockefeller family!
Yesterday, after Bruce and Middle signed the contract, he received a call from George Rockefeller at the celebration party!
"Little guy, we don't use badges, logos, etc. to name the name!"

Bruce listened to the voice on the phone unexpectedly. Originally, he thought that no matter which title sponsor it was, he would be eager to put his company or family crest on the roof of the arena, but now he suddenly heard Rockefeller say that, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward !

"Why? Isn't every title sponsor going to put their own logo on it?" Bruce asked suspiciously!
"Don't care about this, we will only add Rockefeller's words on the top of your arena, and don't ask anything else!"

Recalling the situation at that time, Bruce couldn't help but feel a little puzzled!
Where he couldn't understand, George Rockefeller was drinking wine in depression!

The Rockefeller family is one of the largest consortiums in Europe, and they have a very prominent status!

In the United States, they even keep pace with several super families such as Rothschild, DuPont, and Morgan.

The founder of their family is the first billionaire in human beings. From this we can see the horror of these behemoths!
Bruce shook his head helplessly, and then walked into the arena!

Walking into the office, Bruce subconsciously took out the documents in the drawer, and carefully read them!
Although this year's trade deadline is Christmas Eve in the United States, Bruce still has to find a way to strengthen the depth of the team's lineup!
The current staffing of the Warriors still seems a little immature, Dirk Nowitzki, Carter, Billups, including Wallace, who is super defensive and rebounding, are still a little immature!
If it weren't for Carter's rapid growth and Nowitzki's obvious progress this season, the Warriors' increasing injury problems will make Bruce and Wilkens' established plans end in failure!

What Bruce needs to do most now is to make some deals as soon as possible in order to hit the playoffs with all his strength after the All-Star!
On January 1th, with Rockefeller's huge and domineering English sign properly placed, the Oakland Arena gradually bid farewell to the days without a title sponsor!

Bruce sat quietly behind the Warriors players. This home court is the eighth match between the Warriors and the Seattle SuperSonics!

As the season gradually heats up, the Warriors, Kings and SuperSonics gradually ranked seventh and eighth in the West!
Among them, the Warriors tied for eighth place because of their similar record to the Kings!

Today's game is very important for the Warriors who have a set goal. As long as they win this game today, they will be ahead of the Kings who are only half a game behind and become the seventh place in the Western Conference. Otherwise, they will be half a game behind the Sonics nine!
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Rockefeller Center!!!"

With the DJ's roaring welcome speech, all the fans shouted excitedly!
Seeing the reaction of the fans around him, Bruce couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded!

The name Rockefeller is in accordance with the contract, and they will officially use this name next season, but now the DJ's introduction and the cheers of the fans don't mind naming this arena now Rockefeller Sports Center!
As the two teams warmed up gradually, DJ introduced the players of the two teams in turn!

The main lineup sent by the Warriors is center Eric Dampier, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward is still Chris Mills, and the shooting guard is played by Carter, who has exploded this season. , The point guard position is still controlled by John Starks!

The Supersonics are deployed, the center is known as "Cobra" Horace Grant, the power forward is Wen Baker, who fell with Kemp during the offseason last season, and the small forward is Ruben Parker. Tetson, a powerful player, serves as the shooting guard, Brent Barry, who "whites can fly", and the point guard is the supersonic star, Gary Payton!
Judging from the configuration of the two teams, the Warriors are obviously higher, and the comparison of the center position seems a bit unequal. The Warriors' Dampier is only 25 years old, and Grant's age is as high as 35 years old. The age difference between the two After a full ten years old, the comparisons of the rest of the positions are also strong and weak!
Bruce watched the players of the two teams walk towards the center line under the call of the referee, and couldn't help but have a great desire for this victory!
"Guys, remember the scale!" The referee on duty looked at the players of the two teams seriously, and simply explained a sentence, and then blew the whistle in his mouth!
As the referee blew his whistle, Dampier and Grant jumped up one after another!

"Snapped!"

With a soft bang, even though he was approaching the end of his career, Grant still jumped the ball and won Dampier, a floor center!

Peyton quickly took the ball in his arms, glanced at Starks who was about to follow, and said disdainfully: "John, I really feel sorry for your appearance!"

"Gary, don't you think I'm much more handsome than you?" Starks didn't care about Peyton's trash talk. It's not the first time he has encountered this trash talker in the league for many years. !
As the two ran to the front court one after another, a battle for the eighth or seventh in the West sounded its horn!

Peyton spit saliva endlessly, opening and closing his mouth while not forgetting to observe his teammates' running positions!

Bruce looked at Peyton's opening and closing mouth in a funny way. In his previous life, he admired this guy who couldn't sit still from the beginning to the end. Now seeing the "real person", it's really the same thing!
Although Vin Baker got into the bad habit of smoking alcohol in that shrinking season, his ability did not decline as much as Kemp did, and he still maintained his pretty good skills!
Payton led Starks quickly back and forth in the half court, seeing that Nowitzki was a bit out of position when defending Vin Baker, and accurately handed the basketball to Vin Baker!
After receiving Payton's pass, Vin Baker, who is very experienced, did not shoot the ball immediately. Instead, after Nowitzki jumped up and fell a little, he threw the ball easily with the time difference!
"Shh!"

Vin Baker's mid-range shot was still very solid, with a hollow net, the Sonics scored the first 2 points of the game!
Nowitzki, who lost his position in defense, did not seem annoyed by this, but ran forward very quickly!
Starks ran forward with the ball carefully, he was very concerned about Payton's stealing ability!
Bruce quietly watched the players on both sides running non-stop. The players of the two teams showed their vigor as if they were competing for the playoffs. The confrontation between the players gradually intensified unconsciously!

Nowitzki saw Starks coming with the ball, standing in a high position, he hurried forward and made a cover for him!
Covered by Nowitzki, Starks quickly ran to the other side, and Vin Baker, who was following Nowitzki, quickly reached out to harass him and didn't keep up!

Payton quickly bypassed Nowitzki and chased Starks. He was very aware of the horror of this nerve knife. Once Starks made a shot, it must be a supersonic nightmare!

Players who have played in the NBA for many years generally have a very high awareness of other players. Even if they are still a little uncomfortable with tactics, after all, all the players in the NBA are only a few hundred!

With the years of fighting and the team's analysis of the video, although they don't know everything, at least some distinctive players will be remembered by them!
And Starks is one of them. If he is allowed to shoot, it must be something that no team wants to see.

Bruce saw that Starks really threw the basketball in his hand, and couldn't help looking forward to this guy who was similar to JR Smith in his previous life!
"Shh!"

A clear sound of piercing the net spread to the audience, and all the fans cheered for the first time since this game!
"Oops!" Paul Westphal, who had just become the head coach of the Supersonics in the shortened season, couldn't help worrying secretly when he saw Starks' goal!
Seeing that Starks really hit the ball, Payton clapped his hands angrily, and then used his strong defense to pester him in the subsequent game!

The entire first quarter was like a Starks moment. He took 4 shots and hit three of them, except for the three-pointer at the beginning, and then hit a mid-range shot and a corner three-pointer!

Bruce smiled and watched Wilkens praise Starks, and admired this old-fashioned head coach very much!

As the players get better and better, Wilkenst specially formulated some tactics for several players who may be traded. In some previous games, these players also cooperated very well and played good data!

Dampier, who was supposed to be plagued by injuries in his previous life, now that Wallace and Foyle have divided his playing time one after another, while the data has not declined sharply, the potential for injuries has also been minimized!
When this season is about to pass halfway, except for the team's scoring leader Carter, he can basically score 25 points per game, and Nowitzki has become the team's second scorer, averaging nearly 4 points and 19 rebounds per game. Powerful data!

In addition to the two Warriors, Dampier can get 30 points and 9 rebounds in nearly 4 minutes of playing time per game, which caused great trouble to Bruce and Wilkens!

With this center who is nearly averaging double-doubles per game, it’s okay if no team can hand over high-quality chips. The team also needs the contribution of this guy. If other teams offer good trading chips, it will make They are extremely entangled!

Regardless of the team, a useful or even a star center is very scarce in the league, and an orthodox and defensive center is what other teams want but are not easy to get!
Thinking of these things, Bruce couldn't help shaking his head secretly: "Is it possible to cross out Dampier's name?"

The match between the two teams will not be terminated because of Bruce's cranky thinking. In the second quarter, the two teams started a fierce collision!

Starks still has a bit of convulsions and brings a great threat to the Supersonics. Coupled with Carter's powerful impact and Nowitzki's threatening projection, the Supersonics seem to be in a hurry!
When the whistle sounded at the end of halftime, Bruce looked at Starks, who was "worshiped" by his teammates, with great satisfaction. He was very excited about the performance of this guy who scored 15 points in just halftime. To further increase his trading value, this also gave Bruce a great initiative!
Bruce took one last look at the huge score difference of 60:45 on the scoreboard, and walked towards the players' locker room with a smile on his face!

　The third one is here, I wish you all a sweet dream! ~
　　The third night of the day after tomorrow will bring you the All-Stars that Carter made a god, please stay tuned! ~
