Huayu since 1980

Chapter 655 Zhu Zhu's appearance in North America (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)

In the training hall of the Lakers, the atmosphere today is a little dignified. Anyone who knows that his boss has changed at a critical moment in the playoffs will definitely feel turbulent in his heart!
But the one with the most complicated mood was Magic Johnson. He remembered that when he and Wu Jianye met in Chicago, Wu Jianye asked about himself.

Obviously Phantom Entertainment was interested in the Lakers at that time, but they didn't expect that the Lakers would appoint Wu Jianye as the President of Basketball Operations!

At this time, watching Wu Jianye walking to the training hall surrounded by the team management, Magic Johnson smiled wryly.

Stars of the level similar to Magic Johnson and James Worthy in the team are actually not too afraid of the team management, because as long as their ability is there, there are a lot of teams in the entire league who want them. The team's management made them dissatisfied, and they could even run to the team manager and roar to express their opinions.

Properly rely on craftsmanship to make a living!

After Wu Jianye came to the training hall, Jerry West called everyone together to form a group and officially introduced Wu Jianye's situation to everyone, and at the same time introduced Wu Jianye to everyone in the team.

"Director Wu, this is our Lakers' meritorious coach Pat Riley!" First of all, Jerry West introduced to Wu Jianye the Lakers head coach Pat Riley!

Compared with friends in later generations, what Pat Riley is more familiar with is his career in the Heat, which directly contributed to the birth of the Heat's Big Three, and his ruthlessness towards the legendary player Wade in the team!

In fact, Pat Riley was already famous in the 80s. The Lakers' four championships in the 80s were all won under the leadership of Pat Riley.

"Hello, Director Wu!" Pat Riley's expression was neither salty nor dull. He had already decided that he would leave the Lakers after the end of this season. Things are not very concerned.

"Thanks to Mr. Pat Riley for his contribution to the Lakers before, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Pat Riley in the future!"

Regarding Pat Riley's attitude, Wu Jianye didn't take it seriously, he just exchanged a simple greeting, and that was it.

What was introduced later was not the players, but the members of the entire coaching staff. However, most of the members of the coaching staff are Pat Riley's team. If Pat Riley leaves the Lakers, they will also follow Pat Riley left together.

After the members of the coaching staff were introduced, Wu Jianye began to shake hands with the players of the team.

The most familiar one is of course Magic Johnson, but Magic Johnson will be tested positive for HIV in the second half of this year, and his career will be over!
With the retirement of Magic Johnson, the brilliance of the Lakers came to an end. The following years have been ups and downs, and it has to wait until 96 to truly slow down.

Originally, all of this had nothing to do with Wu Jianye, but now that Phantom Entertainment has acquired the Lakers, the poor historical performance of the Lakers in the past few years will definitely be attributed to Phantom's management by most fans questionable.

Fans are emotional, and they don't think about these issues rationally. Anyway, the team's performance is not good, that is, there is something wrong with the team's management, especially the boss is not their favorite.

Wu Jianye could only laugh at this. The entire 90s of the NBA was almost dominated by the Bulls led by Michael Jordan, and no one could resist.

Unless Wu Jianye gets center Olajuwon, power forward Barkley, and small forward James Worthy, the existing player of the Lakers, shooting guard Glider Drexler, and point guard Stockton are estimated to be able to keep up with him. The Bulls will fight, but these players are basically the stars of each team, and it is impossible for them to gather in the Lakers!

Grouping is not popular now. In the eyes of players of this era, grouping is an extremely shameful behavior
For the Lakers in the past few years, Wu Jianye is still going to treat them with a free-range attitude. Let's wait until the leader Qiao retires to talk about it!

In addition to Magic Johnson and James Worthy in this Lakers team, there is also a player Wu Jianye is familiar with, and that is the later Lakers coach Byron Scott.

Chatted with the players for a few words, and said that although the team has changed the owner, it will not affect the players, everyone can do what they want, and then announced to them that the company will build a new team for the team this year. arena thing.

After talking about this, Wu Jianye left!
In the Lakers president's office, only Wu Jianye and Jerry West were left.

"Now the team's top priority is to choose Pat Riley's successor for the team!" Jerry West reported to Wu Jianyehui.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Jerry, you know my job. This time, as the Lakers' president of operations, I only discussed it with the Phantom because I personally like the Lakers team very much. Management ability, I know my own affairs, so you should do the specific things.”

First, he explained his situation to Jerry West. Wu Jianye didn't think there was anything wrong with this. As he said, buying the Lakers was more about Wu Jianye's relationship with No. 8 and No. 24. A kind of feeling, not really want to make drastic changes to this team.

What's more, Wu Jianye has always understood that professional matters should be left to professional talents. He is just an ordinary fan. He is definitely not as good as Jerry West in terms of team management. Not much energy was put into it either.

so.
"In the future, the management of the team will be handed over to you. If there is anything that usually happens, just tell me!" Wu Jianye is planning to delegate power, and Jerry West's management of the team is unquestionable. In this case, Wu Jianye didn't need to forcefully manage it.

Jerry West did not expect that Wu Jianye would delegate power to himself in this way, and he was a little confused for a while.

"Haha, I have already watched the team. As for the candidate for the team's head coach, you can just agree on it. I have other things to do, so I will leave first!" Wu Jianye stood up with a smile, still a little confused Jerry West shook hands and said goodbye.

It wasn't until Wu Jianye really left the team that Jerry West showed a wry smile. He didn't expect that the other party really left just like that!

Although Wu Jianye adopted a stocking policy for the Lakers, Wu Jianye still came to the scene to watch the Lakers' game the next day.

In the most conspicuous position in the first row of the Mosaic team's home court, Wu Jianye, Zhu Zhuo, and Cheng Long sat side by side, ready to watch today's game.

Today is the home court of the Mosaic team. If the Mosaic team wins, the Lakers and the Mosaic team will have a five-game tiebreaker. If the Lakers win, the Lakers will advance and the Mosaic team will go home.

With the preparation of "Jurassic Park", the publicity work has already started. Among them, the heroine was the first to be decided, and it was also the first to be taken out by Phantom Entertainment as a key direction of publicity.

In the novel, Wu Jianye replaced the original heroine with a Chinese woman, and this time "Jurassic Park" started filming, of course a Chinese actress was also used.

Before that, the most familiar scandal object of Wu Jianye in North America was Isabel Adjani, but what they didn't expect was that Wu Jianye was already married, and his wife was also arranged by him to be the star of this movie. heroine!

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in North America. Under the command of some caring people, many people began to say that Wu Jianye had grown up and dared to use a Chinese actress as the heroine, even if the heroine in the book They are Chinese, and they are still unacceptable now.

In their opinion, even if Wu Jianye wants to use a Chinese woman to play this role, she should be played by an actress with a North American background. For example, Chen Chong from Phantom, at least she has a North American education background. It has also been recognized by many people in North America, but now a pure Chinese actress has been found, who is also Wu Jianye's own wife
For a while, many media began to bad-mouth the box office prospects of "Jurassic Park", but for Wu Jianye, there was no pressure at all. This was set by him long ago, and no outsiders can interfere at all. !

But in any case, now that the promotional work of "Jurassic Park" has started, Wu Jianye must also let Zhu Yan make his debut in front of North American audiences, so this is the same for the Lakers game this time, and there are also such inside meaning.

As for Cheng Long, who is purely idle, he just finished shooting his new film in Los Angeles, and when he heard that Wu Jianye was going to Houston to cheer for the Lakers, he followed him.

Now the star of the Mosaic team is naturally Olajuwon, who averaged 21.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game in the regular season throughout the season!
By the way, the first No. [-] pick of the Mosaic team was signed by the current head coach of the Lakers, Pat Riley.

The game between the two sides has been very stalemate from the beginning. The Lakers do not want to fight for the top five, while the Mosaic team is fighting with their backs. If they don't win, they have to go home!

However, it may be under such psychological pressure that when the game entered the second half, the players of the Mosaic team became more and more nervous.

It is precisely because of this that Magic Johnson seized this opportunity in the second half. After a wave, the Lakers have already led by 15 points!

The games of this era are different from the games of later generations. Leading by 15 points basically means that the overall situation has been decided.

Wu Jianye could hear the boos of Mosaic fans at the scene.

Zhu Juan sat next to Wu Jianye, looking a bit bored. She didn't want to come because Zhu Juan didn't know anything about basketball, but she heard Wu Jianye say that doing so would be very helpful for the promotion of "Jurassic". Ji Park" is a favorable thing.

Only then did Wu Jianye agree to follow him to watch the game.

In fact, no matter how fierce the game was on the court, Zhu Jue didn't pay much attention to it, and just watched their game quietly all the time.

It was Cheng Long who yelled beside him and looked very excited.

From time to time, the live broadcast also focused on the three of Wu Jianye.

In the final game, the Lakers won the mosaic team with 109:88 and 21 points!

Wu Jianye happily raised her arms high, while Zhu Yan sat aside, seeing Wu Jianye's excited look, smiled and shook her head, she really didn't have much interest in this kind of exercise.

On the second day after the game ended, Lauren Downer approached Wu Jianye and said, "Director Wu, NBA President Mr. Stern called you just now and wanted to invite you to visit the NBA headquarters in New York!"

Wu Jianye was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Did he say what happened?"

Lauren Downer shook his head and said, "No, I just hope you can spare some time to go there."

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "Tell them, I'll be there tomorrow!"

Lauren Downer: "Okay!"

Now Lauren Donner is more and more handy as Wu Jianye's assistant.

Hearing that Wu Jianye was going to New York to meet NBA President Stern, Zhu Zhu was not prepared to go there with Wu Jianye.

"I won't go, let's go back to Los Angeles!" Zhu Zhuo has never been interested in such business meetings.

Wu Jianye also had no objection to this, so he asked Laurent Downer to book a ticket for Zhu Zhu to fly to Los Angeles tomorrow, and at the same time book a ticket for himself to New York.

As for Cheng Long, he is preparing to return to Xiangjiang. After the filming in North America is over, he will return to Xiangjiang to continue his filming tasks.

Cheng Long's new film in Hong Kong this year has also been finalized, and it will be the classic action film "Flying Eagle Project"!
After spending a day with Zhu Zhuo in Houston, the three separated at the airport, and Wu Jianye also flew to the NBA headquarters in New York!

David Stern is not tall, and he doesn't look outstanding, but he is the one who pushed the NBA to the world. It can be said that he is the most successful president in NBA history. Unfortunately, his successor is a idiot.
"Director Wu, welcome to the NBA!" David Stern looked very happy after seeing Wu Jianye.

"Mr. Stern, you are too polite. I haven't thanked you for your help in acquiring the Lakers before!" Wu Jianye was naturally talking about the Phantom's acquisition of the Lakers.

David Stern said with a smile: "The Phantom can join our NBA family, which is also very good news for the NBA."

After the two parties sat down and exchanged pleasantries, Wu Jianye could see a large world map hanging in David Stern's office, and many countries were marked with red markers on this map.

Among them is Huaxia.

David Stern did not tell Wu Jianye the reason why he invited Wu Jianye to the NBA headquarters this time, but introduced the glorious history of the NBA to Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye just responded with a smile. His understanding of NBA history is limited to those well-known stars, and there is nothing more.

About four or ten minutes later, Stern spoke to Wu Jianye: "I have been to Yanjing before, and I am very clear about Director Wu's influence in China. In fact, there are some things I want to ask Director Wu!"
