850. Heartbroken Stockton (Part 2: 4.5K)(2/2)
However, Sun Ce learned a lot about Stockton from his four children at home.
For example, Stockton's wife, Nada Stockton, whose real name is Nada Stipovich, is the daughter of the former Alaska State Legislature Chairman. She now works in the Washington State Government with a high position.
The key point is that both daughters are very good-looking, and Stockton's wife should be very good-looking too. Sun Ce feels that this old man is really capable. He actually got the daughter of a beautiful woman and a dignitary!
Sure enough, durability is the most important thing.
After lunch, Stockton asked the four children to take Sun Ce's sister for a walk around the neighborhood. He sent away the group of unlucky children who broke his heart, and took Stockton back to the living room to talk about things.
"Let's talk about work directly." Stockton said straight to the point after sitting down.
"Ah... Okay." Sun Ce thought he would be in vain this time, but he didn't expect to get right to the point.
"I discussed the issue of remuneration when I met with Bill Duffy before, and I also had contact with your team's general manager Chris Wallace. I originally planned to join your training staff after the playoffs and become your
You are a dedicated trainer, but the NBA is facing a shutdown, so I have not joined your team for the time being.
Then for the next time, until the NBA resumes operations, my salary will be paid by you. The weekly salary is 20,000. You can come to my place to train. If you want me to go out, you will bear the accommodation and travel expenses, including the cost of travel.
The kids I go out with.
If you can accept it, let Bill Duffy come to me to sign the contract, and it is up to you to decide when to start working." Stockton stated the reasonable treatment requirements he had thought of in one breath.
There was no bargaining involved, the price was given directly, and I really didn't want to say anything to Sun Ce.
Stockton was so crisp and clear that Sun Ce responded dazedly: "OK."
After receiving Sun Ce's response, Stockton quickly left the living room and went back to his room to shut himself in as if he was fleeing.
On Sun Ce's side, he looked at the empty living room and listened to the cries of three girls screaming in fear because a flock of crows flew by outside the window...
"What is going on? Does this old man want to teach me or doesn't he want to teach me?"
…
After leaving the phone numbers of Stockton and his four children, Sun Ce returned to the hotel with Zu Ge in a daze.
Inexplicably, he got the job of inviting Stockton to be his personal trainer. Sun Ce is still confused now.
Fortunately, there was a chirping ancestral goose next to him, and Sun Ce came back to his senses from his dazed state.
Listening to Zu Ge saying that he will go to Charlotte tomorrow, Wang Keying will also fly to Charlotte tomorrow to have a round with him and other things that will happen next. Sun Ce couldn't figure out what happened in Stockton, so he didn't think about it.
Little brother went to celebrate the wedding.
Anyway, the matter has been settled. After I sent my blessings to my little brother, I went to Los Angeles to find Kobe and also called Stockton. I didn’t touch basketball for almost a month and had almost rested. After the slack period, I continued.
It's time to start preparing for next season.
…
On the evening of the 29th, Sun Ce, Zue and Wang Keying came to Charlotte on the east coast and moved into a seaside villa under the arrangement of Curry.
Curry also has a younger brother, Seth, and a younger sister, Sidell. Sun Ce got to know them both, and on the 30th, he witnessed the wedding of Curry and Ayesha Alexander, and Ayesha’s surname was changed to Curry.
Not many NBA players attended Curry's wedding, only some players from the Warriors, and they were not all present. For example, Leonard, who had just been drafted, was still training at a fan club in Oakland. Jerry West went to help before the lockout.
Find support from local wealthy people.
Ellis actually came, which made Sun Ce a little surprised. There was also someone Sun Ce guessed would come - LeBron James. This guy never misses this kind of opportunity to build a good relationship with others.
Curry's wedding party lasted for three days and ended on the night of August 1st.
On August 2, Curry went on his honeymoon, which lasted for three weeks, and was unable to train with Sun Ce for the time being.
Jordan, who is a local in Charlotte, could not attend Curry's wedding, and Sun Ce could not find Jordan to train with him. There was no telling whether the invitation would be successful. Jordan had just been fined $1 million by the officials and would never dare to do it again.
It is not allowed to have any contact or communication with the players, even remotely.
Sun Ce discussed with James and gathered at his vacation villa in Los Angeles on the 10th. In the next few days, he went to prepare the training hall, nutritionist, masseur, etc., and the two of them went to find their training partners.
After the discussion, Sun Ce took Zu Ge back to Memphis first. Wang Keying's TV series was about to start filming. He was studying the script. He took a few days to relax and then returned to Los Angeles immediately.
After returning to Memphis, Sun Ce did a few days of recovery training. Since he practiced the Nash training method every day, his physical condition was maintained very well. He did not lose his physical sense just because he didn't touch basketball much during this period. He soon recovered.
Completed restorative training.
On the 9th, Sun Ce came to Los Angeles with Zugoose and Jimmy Butler.
When you go out for training, no matter what, you have to bring Jimmy Butler with you. After all, he is a teammate who trains at his home training gym.
Stockton was also notified. Bill Duffy had gone over to sign the contract a long time ago. After Sun Ce notified Stockton, Bill Duffy helped Stockton book a hotel in Los Angeles and buy Stork.
Air tickets for the Cotton family.
When he arrived in Los Angeles, Sun Ce called Paul George, who had returned to his hometown in California during the offseason.
"Lord, are you really going to train with Kobe Bryant?" This was the first thing Paul George said when he saw Sun Ce after arriving at James' house.
"Right? Is there any problem?"
"Will he say yes? I hear he's difficult to get along with."
"You have to give it a try... He still owes me a favor, so I have to pay it back..."
