Chapter 985 Tennis Development Plan
Scott Brooks, a former NBA player who won the championship in 1994, is now 43 years old.
Brooks is looking to get into coaching, but the Suns aren't his only option. The Thunder also have a chance.
"Mr. Brooks, aren't you worried about the current public opinion?" Griffin asked with some confusion.
"Public opinion? That's none of my business. I need to work. This is what I have to consider. And the media is always forgetful. The Hammer is just doing what he should do. I think this matter will soon become In the past, Hammer was still the number one player in this league, and he would still be the most popular superstar," Brooks said.
"Okay, congratulations, Steko, come over and sign the contract." Griffin smiled.
Brooks was startled, could he succeed so easily?
In fact, Griffin has no choice. If he doesn't find a head coach, he will have no time to trade. Anyway, the boss has determined that the new season will be bad, so there is no problem in finding a rookie head coach.
After signing Brooks, Griffin started making trades.
The situation is not bad, not as serious as Sarver estimated, and no team deliberately refuses to trade with the Suns.
But the Suns' transaction is still not smooth, because the lineups of other teams are basically stable and there is not much room for transactions. He can only slowly look for opportunities.
Moreover, before Cole left, he signed another big and bad contract for the team, O'Neal's contract extension, worth $41 million over two years.
Now Li Ba replied that O'Neal's position as the main center may not be kept. The Suns simply cannot accommodate such a large contract.
What he has to consider now is whether to trade O'Neal.
On August 28, Li Ba received Zou Shimin at his home.
Zou Shimin came to talk to Li Ba specifically. He had the idea of turning into a professional, but his superiors wanted him to play in another Olympics.
"What year are you in?" Li Ba asked.
"81 years, 27 years old." Zou Shimin said.
Li Ba immediately said: "Then if you have the chance, change it quickly. You will be old if you play one more time. What else can you play? It means you can go out and earn some pension money, and there is no professional record."
On September 1st, Li Ba’s family returned to Senbei Castle.
Guoguo arrived at a new place. In this season, the flowering period has passed and the grapes have begun to bear fruit. The little girl felt it was very novel. She took Li Ba everywhere to look around and had a great time. Her laughter was everywhere.
The little girl's appearance took after her mother's, but her personality and physique took after Li Ba's, and she was very courageous.
Ten-month-old Guoguo is already walking very steadily.
Li Ba feels that this girl has indeed inherited his talent. She has fast reaction speed, good strength and full of energy.
The bones in her arms and hands were very hard. Occasionally, when she was playing around, she would slap her mother on the face, which would hurt so much that the girl would shed tears.
Li Ba's remaining nanobugs were prepared before the system collapsed. In addition to the rewarded skeleton and neural nanobugs, he also specially made some nanobugs. He plans to use some of these for the little girl in the future, but he will have to wait until she grows up before using them.
Yatou's cousin Liu Qian has been at the castle and is now reporting to Yatou about some things about the winery and the castle, as well as about the family fund.
"Sissi, you haven't taken away or used the profits of Senbei Company in the past few years. This is such a waste." Liu Qian said.
"How much is it?" the girl asked.
"The working capital on the account is already 500 million yuan, and it's just sitting in the bank account doing nothing?" Liu Qian said.
"So many?" the girl said in surprise.
Liu Xiaoli said angrily on the side: "I asked you to learn to manage the company before, but you were lazy and just thought about it all day long. You don't even know how much money the company made. Fortunately, you have a mother to look after you, otherwise the company You don’t even know you’ve been shortchanged by others.”
The girl giggled and said, "Then how does the company make so much money?"
Liu Xiaoli said: "The domestic film and television industry has developed rapidly in the past two years. Then we introduced movies from here, and the box office was good. Especially the several blockbusters introduced later, the results were very good."
Liu Qian said: "Auntie, Sissi, I have a suggestion, do you want to listen?"
"Tell me about it?" Liu Xiaoli said.
"The domestic film industry is developing rapidly, and theater lines are also developing, but the potential is far from being tapped. It is better to develop both ends of the world than to invest some funds in theater lines. Can this feed back investment in film and television?" Liu Qian said. .
Liu Xiaoli thought for a while and said, "This investment is certainly not small. We need to discuss it with Iron Hammer."
"The big hammer won't care." The girl smiled.
"Then you have to tell him, and there must be respect between husband and wife. Just because he doesn't care, doesn't mean you don't need to tell him anything. Over time, problems are likely to arise."
Liu Xiaoli warned.
"I understand, mom." The girl nodded quickly.
At this moment, Li Ba was playing tennis with Guoguo behind the castle, but after the little girl got the ball, she looked at it, swung her little arm, and threw it far away.
"Guoguo, don't you like it?" Li Ba said.
"Uh-huh!"
Guo Guo nodded her little head, held Li Ba's hand and walked towards the basketball room.
When I arrived at the basketball room, I saw the basketball in the basket and pointed there. The little girl raised her face and smiled at Li Fan: "Ball!"
"Like basketball?"
Li Ba has a headache. He doesn't want Guoguo to engage in basketball anymore.
The attention paid to women's basketball is too low, far less than that of tennis. Let Guoguo play basketball, it is better to let her return to China to play table tennis or volleyball.
He took a basketball and put it in front of Guoguo, who picked it up with a smile.
At this time, the girl came in. Seeing Li Ba frowning, she quickly asked what was going on.
As soon as Li Ba said this, the girl smiled and said: "She watches you play every day, so of course she likes basketball. You have never played tennis, how can she like it?"
Li Ba patted his head and understood.
He said: "Sissi, call Yuanyuan and ask her to hire a tennis coach for me. I want to practice tennis."
The girl said in surprise: "Big Hammer, are you serious?"
"real."
Li Ba nodded and analyzed for himself: "I have such long arms, strong strength, good accuracy, quick reaction, and good pace. I think I can practice serving first. Do you know Zhang Depei?"
"I don't know, do you play tennis in China?" the girl asked.
Li Ba shook his head and said: "The United States borrowed from Chinese, Grand Slam champion. He had an average career in the past, but then he transformed and strengthened his serve, and his career was truly successful. In January this year, he was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame. He was officially selected in March. I think I can win with my serve like him."
The girl smiled and said, "Then you really want to play professional tennis?"
Li Ba smiled and said: "If I have no opponents and no challenge in the NBA, why can't I switch? You didn't say it just now. If I play tennis, Guoguo will definitely like tennis."
The girl looked at Guoguo, who was having fun playing basketball, and supported Li Ba's idea very much.
She had watched so much of Li Ba playing basketball, with his fierce style, that she actually didn't want Guoguo to be like her father in the future.
