Chapter 373 USC Alumni Association

Bennett didn't know who the person was, but Carlesimo and Presti knew each other. Regardless of his appearance, he was well-known in the industry. Everyone knew that he was Bill. Bierman once created the Celtic dynasty with Bob Cousy and Bill Russell.

In addition to being a star of the Boston Celtics, he also has a deep relationship with another noble team in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers. After he retired, he led different teams to win the The championship of the American Basketball League and the American Basketball Association, and then switched to the arch-enemy Los Angeles Lakers, led the team to the longest 33-game winning streak and 69 wins in history, and helped the team get the first championship after moving to Los Angeles .

After resigning as the head coach, he transferred to the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers and picked Magic Johnson for the team. During his tenure as general manager and team chairman, he brought five championships to the team. One-third of the gems on the Lakers championship throne are his contributions, and four of the Boston Celtics' sixteen championships are also related to him.

He is the only person who has a relationship with both the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. Although he has resigned from all substantive positions, he still serves as a consultant for the Los Angeles Lakers. He is considered to be one of the hidden bosses behind the scenes of the Lakers.

"Senior Bill, hello, I'm so glad to see you, how did you find this place?" Stephen stood up hastily, whether as an old senior or a senior, Stephen had to show a certain amount of respect to others , and when Presti and Carlesimo heard the title of senior, their expressions suddenly changed.

"Don't forget, I have spent more years in Los Angeles than you. I am very familiar with the streets and alleys here." Bill Salman's beard and hair have become snow-white, but his body is still very healthy.

After he sat down, Stephen immediately introduced him to the people present: "This is Mr. Bennett, the owner of the Seattle Supersonics, this is Mr. Presti, and this is Carlesimo." gentlemen."

"I've seen the news. This Mr. Presti is the new general manager of the Sonics. He is indeed young and promising. Carlesimo is an old acquaintance. Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." Bill Instead of saying anything to Bennett, Salman spoke to Presti and Carlesimo.

The two said they didn't dare. Although the tone of the other party was a bit like asking Yi Lao to sell the old, but his age is there after all. He has this qualification. Although Bennett is not very happy, he also knows that there is no way to argue with him. I had no choice but to sit there without saying a word.

"Congratulations on winning a laurel crown that can be recorded in history for the school again. I hope you can bring more honors to the school." After the greetings were over, Bill Salman immediately turned to Stephen and said to Stephen .

"I hope so too." Stephen knew he was talking about the Finals MVP, and when he was playing, there was no Finals MVP, so he didn't get the award, and Stephen was a USC The first player born to receive this honor, so the school also attaches great importance to this honor. In the honor showroom of the Trojans, a large photo of Stephen holding the championship and the most valuable player trophy of the finals is hung in a conspicuous position .

"I'm just here to chat with my little alumni, so I won't delay your business?" Bill Salman said to Presti and the others at this time. It is impossible to directly negotiate the contract when he comes to Stephen at this time. , mostly as a set of friendship, and then introduce their own team building ideas, lineup composition, and future plans. When Bill Salman asked this, Presti and the others had no choice but to shake their heads in denial. They didn’t have the confidence to impress Stephen once. The status quo of the Sonics is not very good after all.

After the five people sat there and chatted for a while, seeing that it was impossible to achieve the purpose of communication today, Bennett took Presti and the others to leave without hesitation. Of course, when facing Stephen, he would naturally not Putting on such a face, but facing Bill Sharman, he has no good face. Of course, as the owner of the team, he does not need to consider the feelings of Bill Sharman. He only believes in capital Power, so what about a celebrity with a big name, no, he still works for others.

"Come on, let me introduce you to a beautiful lady who is also our alumnus." After Presti and the others disappeared, Bill Salman smiled slyly, and then waved outside Only then did Stephen notice that there was a figure sitting inside the light yellow beetle over there. After seeing Bill Salman beckoning, the other party opened the car door and came out.

Sure enough, she is a beautiful beauty, but she seems a little older at this age. Although she has a good figure, she obviously has no attraction for Stephen, and Stephen doesn't know her, but at this time Bill Sharman Stand up and introduce to Stephen.

"This is Jenny Buss. When you hear the name Buss, you should know who she is?" Bill Salman said to Stephen.

"Buss? The Bass family that owns the Lakers?" Stephen immediately thought of the name of Jeri Buss, whose company controls the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Sparks, Los Angeles Lasers (indoor football team), Indirectly controls the Los Angeles Kings (ice hockey team), because there is no football team in Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball are in Anaheim, which is nearly [-] kilometers away from Los Angeles. The Si family is equivalent to controlling the entire sports market in Los Angeles.

Rugby is the largest sport in the United States, followed closely by Major League Baseball. With the rise of global influence, under the strong commercial promotion of the NBA, and ice hockey can only be played in some cities, basketball Became the third largest sport in the United States.

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, and it is also the economic and cultural center of the western region. Moreover, there are rich people here, which is no less than that of New York. One can imagine the energy of the Bass family who can occupy the entire sports market in Los Angeles.

Stephen shook hands with the other party politely. After introducing her identity, Stephen also thought of it. She is the senior vice president of business development of the Lakers and the girlfriend of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson. He heard that the Los Angeles Lakers The boss Jerry Buss has been ignoring things for a long time. Could it be that she is the master of the Lakers now.

Stephen is naturally very clear about the other party's intentions. It is nothing more than wanting him to choose the Lakers, but whether he can coexist with Kobe is a big question. After Malone was forced to retire on the charge of molesting Kobe's wife, it can be seen that Kobe does not allow anyone on the team to threaten his status in the team. Even Phil Jackson is no exception. If there is no high-level support behind Kobe, how could it be possible.

But if this woman was behind Kobe's backstage, how could she allow Kobe to drive his boyfriend away? Could it be because of health factors? No one can believe this excuse. Stephen believes that it is definitely not that simple, and he does not intend to give it to him again. Others would at least equally share the ball and the right to speak, but based on Stephen's understanding of Kobe, he should not be a magnanimous person.

"I am also a member of the Trojans, and I am very familiar with your aunt Shi Xianghua. We are usually called sisters. After her health problems, I recommended a doctor to her. I heard that she has recovered well recently." Jenny Ba As soon as Si came up, he used a few words to draw the relationship between the two people to an extremely close level.

If she is also an alumnus of the University of Southern California, then with her status, it is normal to enter the Trojan Society, and her status must be higher than Stephen. What Stephen didn't know was that Jenny Buss was also one of the directors of Southern California. One, but judging from what she said, the relationship between her and her aunt, even if not as close as she said, is not much different.

"Hey, Senior Bill? Senior Jenny? Why are you here?" Coppard ran out of the room sweating profusely at this time, jumped into the swimming pool without looking at it, and waited for him to come out of the pool , I saw Bill Salman and Jenny Buss, but unlike Stephen, Coppard knew both of them, and immediately said in surprise.

"You're Coppard? Why are you here?" Jenny Buss didn't recognize this big, muscular black man at first, but after she recognized her, she immediately frowned, and a flash of light flashed across her face. Vigilant light, this guy seems to be a Clippers player, could it be that the Clippers sent them here to lobby?

Although the Lakers have a glorious and rich history, some people are unwilling to play under such a heavy burden. They would rather create a new history. The Clippers are also in Los Angeles. If other factors are excluded, Stephen If you just want to stay in Los Angeles to play, it is normal to choose the Clippers, and the two historical Lakers have entered a low ebb, and the Clippers immediately responded to the situation and caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers. If they get Stephen If it is, it will be even worse, Jenny Buss immediately made up her mind, if the Lakers can't get Stephen, then they must also prevent the Clippers from getting Stephen.
