Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 200 Happy Holidays!

Ron: "Hey! Is it Mike, the director of the Grand Valley Viper? I'm Ron!"

Mike: "Ha! Manager! What's going on? Is anyone injured? Who do you need to recall?"

"It's nothing..." Ron looked at the latest financial income and smiled obscenely: "I just want you to increase the ticket price for tomorrow's game...by 80%..."

Mike: "What? Hey Manager I don't think you understand how popular NBDL is..."

"Stop talking nonsense..."

...

On February 2th, Valentine's Day and the day before the All-Star Game, the NBDL (NBA Development League) Grand Valley Vipers VS Tulsa 13ers game scene attracted media reporters including ESPN, TNT and other media reporters to broadcast live...

Generally speaking, NBDL has the same tactics and even defensive strategies as the NBA team it belongs to.Because NBDL is to reserve the required talents for each parent team.

The parent team of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers is the Houston Rockets, controlled by the Alexander consortium, and the Rockets manager Ron is solely responsible for the operation.

And the Tulsa 66ers can obviously tell from the name that they are a subordinate team of the Philadelphia 76ers...

More than an hour before the start of the game, a gossip came from Philadelphia—it was said that the general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, Ed Stefanski, wanted to temporarily transfer the team, including their top card Andre Iguodala, Sfencer Hawes and other main players, to Houston to help the Tulsa 66 team. Rockets stars like Goran Dragic and Luis Scola…

It seems that except for Yao Ming and OJ-Mayo, who are rushing to Dallas to participate in the All-Star Tour, everyone in the Houston Rockets was spared. They were sent down collectively by their general manager Ron. This moment of creating an NBA record even with the All-Star behind it caused quite a stir at the time...

Although the rumors from Philadelphia disappeared at the moment before the game, and the ticket price was much more expensive than the average game, but with almost all NBA-level players of the Houston Rockets participating, it still attracted many fans and spectators to the scene to see the stars...

Ed Stefanski: "Hey! Ron? What do you mean? What do you want?"

Ron smiled lewdly: "It's nothing, just increase income..."

...

There were a lot of people, and the reporters were not idle. Coincidentally, when Ron appeared at the competition scene with a livid face and his waist down, all the media reporters flocked to the scene...

"Mr. Ron, may I ask what event caused the collective punishment of the whole team, which created the record in NBA history? Someone once saw Houston players participating in a private party held by most young women in New York. Is this incident related to this incident?"

"No...that was just a slander from the opponent. The players were just celebrating their winning streak. I was there...Look...(He took out a few photos and distributed them to many reporters and media...) And this is a bet between me and the players, yes..." Ron smiled at the camera: "They lost to me, and then they had to play a game for our subordinate team for free. You know, we have lost ten games in a row (referring to Viper), and I have to do something to save our market... "

...

"Let's-go-Rocket!"

Before the game, all the Rockets players got together to seriously cheer themselves up, while the Tulsa 66ers players had a faint feeling that they were about to become some kind of punching bag, completely becoming the target of blood abuse by their opponents...

"What kind of crime is this..."

When the coach of the Tulsa 66ers was depressed to see that even the famous Adelman was wearing a suit and sitting in front of the bench frequently giving instructions and making decisions, he already felt sincerely that today would almost become the darkest day since he coached the team...

It's like a group of CBA meets an All-Star, and it's gone...

Even without Mayo, the Viper team, which consisted of 4 Rockets starters and 1 team's best sixth man in the first quarter, went up to 32-0. Chandler stood out from the crowd like a robot.

There was thunderous cheers at the scene, and only the nervous 66ers players complained bitterly: "Damn it! Don't bring such a bully!"

"The people here are stupid, the money is rich, come quickly..." Perhaps this sentence was the main theme throughout the entire game. All the Rockets players started their entertainment scoring mode, playing soy sauce soy sauce, scoring assists and assists. What's more annoying is that you have to endure endless abuse and humiliation from tens of thousands of spectators at the NBA level...

"Damn! Such an expensive fare, what are we going to see? College students bullying elementary school students? Please be more helpful..."

"Idiots, you don't know how to call people! Where are your Philadelphia stars? It's so irritating!"

"Why don't you just retire..." Under tremendous pressure, the leader of the 66ers said weakly looking at the 58-17 scoreboard at the end of the first half...

"It's not fair! I'm going to complain about that Chinese bastard in Houston!" The coach of the 66ers angrily poured bitterness on the reporter...

"I'm going to sue the president. What does he think of NBDL? As his own income-generating paradise?"

A reporter flipped through the rules: "Well, I'm sorry, Mr. John, although we sympathize with you morally... But the league regulations do not prohibit the collective distribution of the entire NBA team... And for the number of people stipulated by a team, as long as it meets the league's regulations before the next game, it is qualified... So..."

"Fuck the rules..." He snatched the paper version of the rules in public, tore it into eight parts in front of everyone, pouring out his depression...

...

In the halftime lounge, Ron slowly pushed open the door of the locker room...

"Ouch, pain, pain, pain..." After scoring 23 points in the first half, the old man who was talking about his teenage madness purposely shouted at the moment Ron entered the locker room...

"Okay, do you realize your mistake now?" Ron asked emotionally.

Everyone faltered, and even the thorny things that they usually talk back to were restrained, and they silently became their obedient children...

"Yes, sir..." Everyone said almost in unison.

He glanced around, seeing most of the people's eyes dodging, and even a little trepidation, a lot of joy suddenly surged in his heart...

Recalling the scenes of the first half, the first half was completely emotional to vent the opponent as a sandbag to vent, and then the old slippery heads still reflected their enthusiasm for basketball. No matter what they put the game in their hearts, but when the ball was running into their hands, the excitement was still deeply engraved in Ron's heart.

"I promise not to..."

"At least say hello to the team first..."

"I didn't want to go...cough cough..."

Everyone started whispering to each other, watching Ron's expression change from cloudy to sunny, and they also started to fight and play with each other...

"Okay, gentlemen...the vacation starts from this moment..." Ron finally raised his hands high, and he was in a good mood. When everyone started cheering, he turned his head and added in a serious way: "Remember your promise! Happy holidays!"

...

In the second half, the fans began to turn their backs first. Although it was not worth mentioning compared to the NBA package tickets, they saw the same Rockets players in suits and leather shoes appearing in front of the player tunnel to greet them, and they understood that these bastards were ready to run away...

"Repay the money!"

As for the rest, the five remaining players from the former Viper team had to hold on for a while, and there was no Chandler's alley-oop dunk, no Dragic's spirit snake dispatch, and no Tiezha's strike iron march on the scene. This level really does not arouse people's interest...

Ron was one of the last Houston Rockets officials who stayed at the scene to leave. The final whistle finally blew. At 72:65, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, a subsidiary of the Rockets, finally ended their ten-game losing streak with this farce. The colorful bars were flying and the hilarious scene.Profiteer!fraud!

"It doesn't matter!" After the game, facing the accusations of the media reporters, Ron smiled slightly.

A reporter: "However, many spectators made it clear after the game that they would complain to the relevant units... They said it was a commercial fraud..."

"About complaints and accusations, hey, I don't seem to have violated any league regulations, right! Commercial fraud? Get rid of it. You guys put it out. Did I say anything?" Ron smiled wretchedly.

"Hey, are you trying to attract the world's attention by singing such a big show before the All-Star Game?"

"All-Star? Oh, yes...I'm definitely going to watch...so allow me to end this pleasant meeting early..." He bowed and saluted...

The media reporters in the crowd were also extremely disgusted with this Taijiquan beating: "Hey, he has a set time for the media conference! You can't rush past with simple words!"

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, I think you all forgot that this is not the NBA! Happy holidays! Bye~" Ron turned his head and blew a kiss, which immediately made many tireless reporters who followed him dumbfounded...

"We don't have holidays!" Seeing Ron's back, some reporters scolded sincerely...
