Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight
Chapter 269 268: see you again (Thanks to the boss Cheats0 for the 10,000 reward)
Robert Savo, a man who relied on his extremely keen sense of smell, made a fortune from the real estate business at the age of 25.
In his twenties, he became a rich man who had no worries about food and clothing.
And some people in their twenties still fantasize about becoming a famous author.
Because he has already made a fortune at a young age, Savo is willing and able to try a variety of new things.
Now, in his forties, he suddenly remembered his childhood dream of becoming a sports champion.
But he is a man who knows nothing but making money. He can stop and gasp three times while running 100 meters.
Becoming a sports champion is basically impossible.
If this is the case, then I will train sports champions!
So this summer, Robert Savo spent $400 million to buy the Phoenix Suns.
The price of US$400 million also broke the historical high record of NBA teams changing hands today.
A year ago, the historic Boston Celtics changed hands and only sold for 360 million.
After Savo took over the team, he soon chatted with the team's general manager, Brian Colangelo, the son of National Basketball Association spokesman Jerry Colangelo, about making the team bigger and stronger. plan.
When a new owner joins a team, he is usually very ambitious.
After all, a new official needs three things to do before he takes office.
When Savo bought the team, he wanted to make some money. Secondly, I also want to realize my childhood dream of becoming a champion.
As an expert in the banking and real estate industries, Robert Savo analyzed the current situation in a very pragmatic way:
"We have no big stars, Marbury is not popular, and Penny Hardaway is basically useless now. He can't even play half of the games in a year. As a result, the team's record is not good, and the team cannot sell the ball. ticket.
If tickets cannot be sold and the team performs poorly, it will lose money.
When the team loses money, the boss will look for someone like me to take advantage of him, take off his gloves and run away.
Do you think I'm being taken advantage of? Colangelo. "
Of course Colangelo, the migrant worker, shook his head: "No, no, how can you be taken advantage of, Mr. Sa? You are obviously very smart if you can spend 400 million to buy the sun!"
"Yeah, I'm not the one who was taken advantage of. I came to Phoenix to only do three things. Make money, make money, and be a fucking champion!
Without championships and results, how can you make money? right? Just like doing business, if you don't make some achievements, will the sponsor's father invest in you?
The fans are our financial sponsors. If we want to capture the money in their pockets, we will get results. "
Colangelo gave a thumbs up: "What the boss said is absolutely true. Don't say anything. I will find you the most capable stars in the league tomorrow!"
Colangelo was so excited. He thought he had met a money-making boss like Paul Allen.
Damn it, if you really have a check that you can’t spend all your money, you won’t be able to take off!
I can finally experience the thrill of playing with a max-level account!
As a result, Savo grabbed Colangelo at this time:
"Hey, young people are impulsive. To make money, you have to learn to control costs. Like Cuban and Dolan, they spend a lot of money to build the lineup, which raises the cost and you make less. You have to Find me the best players in the league, and I can’t spend 100 million a year?”
Colangelo's mood suddenly hit rock bottom again. After talking for a long time, aren't you still a bitch?
"We have to spend this money wisely. Let's put it this way, I think there are a lot of big fish in the free agent market this year. See if you can catch two more for me. Stars are the guarantee of box office and performance. We Arizona's team must have stars, and our fans must watch the stars and nothing else.
But for stars, you have to find someone who is very popular and not particularly expensive. Moreover, you have to find something that is topical. I think Li Ang is good. He is the center of public opinion wherever he goes, and he also owns the Chinese market. What's more, his playing is more enjoyable to watch. This summer, your job is to rebuild the team.
Get Marbury and Hardaway away from me, get Leon over here, and make the team better! "
Savo is a person who is superstitious about short-term investment, gathering stars, building a lineup, and winning championships.
If that doesn't work, withdraw.
Quick investment, quick return.
Marbury and Hardaway have proven that they cannot succeed in Phoenix.
Therefore, Savo now asked Colangelo to create a new lineup.
With the new boss's orders, Colangelo spent countless days and nights brainstorming this summer.
In this way, the Suns became the most amazing team in the summer of 2003!
They acquired both Leon and O'Neal in the free agent market, and acquired Nash from the Mavericks.
These three people were all carefully selected by Colangelo.
It can be said that everyone meets the requirements of new boss Savo.
Although Li Ang has a maximum salary, because he has only been in the league for less than five years, according to the rules of the labor agreement, the maximum salary signed is the lowest price among the maximum salaries, accounting for only 25% of the salary cap.
For example, for the same maximum salary, Li Ang's starting salary in the first year was only 10.96 million. O'Neal's first-year starting salary is as high as 13.15 million.
This is the difference between a maximum salary and a maximum salary.
Maximum salary is just a broad concept, but the specific amounts vary widely.
Winning Li Ang satisfies the three conditions of being good-looking, topical and relatively cheap.
Choosing Nash later was actually an attempt to save money. After all, Nash's contract this year is only over 5 million. When the contract expires next year, Colangelo expects to be able to renew it for 8 million a year.
Moreover, Nash is quite popular in Phoenix and can drive a wave of box office revenue.
It's cheap, topical, and the conditions are very suitable.
Only O'Neal Jr. came from a serious background.
But Savo can't afford such a top-paid player. You always have to lead players.
Even the owner of the Spurs who sells tractors has two maximum-paid players. If you only support one maximum-paid player, you will not be able to go to the table when the time comes to eat, so you can only go to the children's table.
Savo looked at the three stars that Colangelo got after a series of tricks, and nodded with satisfaction: "No need to change, I like this batch!"
Colangelo asked again: "What about the introduction of role players?"
"Role players? I already have people who can lead the stars. How many more role players do I need? For the role players, just make do with whatever is available in the team."
"Uh" Colangelo was also convinced, he is indeed in the banking industry.
You are a financial expert.
It’s really time to save money and spend money.
You hit hard when facing stars, but you are submissive when facing role players.
But it doesn't matter. Currently, the Suns still have Joe Johnson who can do everything Jordan can do.
He can also be considered a high-quality role player.
No matter what, if it reaches Qiao Tou, the value will be natural!
There is also the Brazilian Lightning Barbosa who was just picked in this year's draft. The small guard should also be a good attacker.
The top priority now is to find some cheap forward substitutes and interior substitutes.
But these are not big problems. As long as the team's main framework is in place, other things can be easily solved.
I don’t know if the Phoenix Suns can succeed next season, but the popularity is indeed high.
After a crazy night, the Suns, Savo, Colangelo, Nash, O'Neal Jr. and Leon all screened almost all sports channels in the world.
Savo felt happy watching the sun being reported all over the United States.
Do you understand how to monetize traffic? After this operation, the Suns are now as popular as teams like the Lakers and Spurs!
Otherwise, why do you say that someone got rich at the age of 25? In 2003, I started to cash in on traffic.
Everyone is discussing the prospects of the Suns next season, and some people are calling Dumars Shi Lezhi this time.
Let go of FMVP? There is no precedent for this in history!
Dumas is almost being scolded for being autistic, do you think that’s what I’m thinking! ?
There is a head coach on the left who is madly angry, and the boss on the right refuses to pay.
what can I do? I can't even breathe right now!
Larry Brown also comforted Dumars: "It doesn't matter. When I broker Rasheed's deal, we will be a championship team again. You have to believe in my ability as a famous basketball coach! Lian Basketball Association They all believe in me and let me lead the team to compete in the Olympics, but you still don’t believe in me?”
Although Leon's situation is better than he imagined, Brown does not think the Suns will be a threat next season.
O'Neal Jr., to put it bluntly, has no playoff test. Even though he has been in the league for six years and has played in the playoffs many times, Ou played in the playoffs during the Trail Blazers and his playing time was in single digits. He was just a jerk.
And because he was too young when he entered the league, Xiao Ao is only a 25-year-old recruit now. In Brown's eyes, O'Brien's ability to fight tough battles is not as good as Rasheed's. When he was in Portland, O'Brien was just standing behind Rasheed.
If it weren't for his youth, who would be willing to give him the maximum salary?
Not to mention Nash. In the eyes of most people, Nash is just a piece of trash.
Fisher was so beaten in the playoffs that he couldn't take care of himself. Many people ridiculed him as the weakest All-Star of the year.
But Van Nash said, he won't be sold like this this summer.
The Suns' move to trade Marion for Nash was also considered a loss-making deal and a great assist against the Mavericks.
After all, Marion averaged 21.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game last season, which is a lot of luxury data.
Although the playoffs were a mess, it seemed as if Nash wouldn't do well in the playoffs.
People all wonder if Colangelo and Cuban have some kind of deal where you know my depth and I know your strengths and weaknesses.
Marion's wave of assists directly turned the Mavericks into a galactic battleship.
Previously, the Mavericks had acquired Jamison, who averaged 22 points per game with the Mavericks last season, through a trade. Now here comes Marion again, good guy, this Mavericks starting lineup is really scary.
Nowitzki averaged 25.1 points per game, Finley averaged 19.3 points per game, Jamison averaged 22 points per game, and Marion averaged 21.2 points per game.
Mavericks fans are joking that even if one player plays one quarter, the Mavericks can win 82 consecutive games in the regular season.
Compared to the Mavericks, the Suns' lineup seems less scary.
A useless snack + an inexperienced youngster + a pseudo-superstar dunker.
Who are you trying to scare?
Brown laughed, Li Ang, Li Ang, it seems you are destined to be unable to stop me.
Of course, there are also those who think solar energy is a big deal. For example, Sir Charles Barkley, Leon’s loyal fan.
"League of Champions!"
Buckley yelled in the studio during the evening TNT show.
Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson both had evil smiles on their faces. You were fooled by the Pistons last time for the championship. You should overturn the Suns championship this time!
"If the Suns don't win the championship, no, that's too harsh. If the Suns can reach the Western Conference Finals, I'm willing to take off my pants and commentate on the game!" Kenny Smith frantically dug a hole for the Flying Pigs.
The West will be a veritable house of monsters next season.
Lakers F4, Mavericks Galaxy, Spurs Kidd-Duncan
Don't forget that there are two Western Conference powerhouses, the Timberwolves and Kings. These two teams have two of the toughest and most gorgeous power forwards in the league.
Really, let alone the Suns championship, it would be difficult for the Suns to reach the Western Conference Finals.
Now in the playoffs, everyone is struggling.
Sure enough, Feizhu jumped at the first sign of a trap.
"Okay, then let's make a bet! If the Suns don't make it to the Western Conference Finals, I'll take off my pants and commentate on the entire game!"
When you bet with Barkley, Barkley has an IQ of 0.
Do you know why Danzi likes Barkley? Because you can win money betting with Barkley with your eyes closed.
It's like a draft.
However, after leaving the bet, Buckley's IQ recovered.
He continued to add: "I know that the Suns still have many problems. Their substitute lineup is still unclear, and more importantly, the head coach has not been found yet. They have not found one who can connect Nash, Leon and Jermaine. guy. If the Suns can find a guy like that, believe me, they'll take off."
Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson both laughed and said, "You don't want to recommend yourself, do you?"
Sir Ba waved his hand, knowing that he didn't have that ability.
If Barkley were to be the head coach, wouldn't he say to the players: "If you push him with your butt, won't you have a chance to score if you push him away? Why can't you do such a simple thing!? "
Besides, being a head coach is so tiring. On TNT, if you tell some poop and piss jokes every day and talk about cross talk, you can make millions in a year, isn't that great?
Barkley's words do make sense. The next choice of the Suns' head coach will determine how they perform next season.
Li Ang has always been curious about the choice of head coach. After all, a good team cannot live without a good head coach.
Just like Westerners cannot live without Jerusalem, 3D Zone cannot live without Tifa.
Seeing this, Li Ang also turned off the TV and prepared to go out.
"Where to go?" Carolina stretched out as she lay on the sofa.
"Go say goodbye to an old friend."
Detroit is dangerous at night. Under normal circumstances, Li Ang would not choose to run out at night.
But today, Li Ang went out of his way and drove to the Palace of Auburn Hills late at night.
Although the season is over, the stadium has not been decommissioned.
The security guard in the parking lot saw Li Ang coming and hurriedly came over.
"Li, is what is said on TV true!? Why!?"
"I'm sorry, old Carl, what I said on TV is true. I'm going to Phoenix."
"No, God no! I don't know why Davidson did this, you are our FMVP!"
"I don't understand either, Karl. But this is business, what can we do. Big Ben, is he here?"
Li Ang said, pointing to the way to the training ground.
"Here we are, just arrived."
"Well, then I'll go in first." Li Ang walked away from the security guard and walked straight to the training ground.
After hearing the news that Li Ang had joined the Suns, Ben called last night to express his desire to meet Li Ang at the training ground.
As soon as Li Ang took a few steps out, security guard Old Carl stopped Li Ang again.
"plum!"
"what's up?"
"I wish you all the best in Phoenix."
Li Ang looked at Old Karl and nodded: "Thanks, man."
Detroit, Palace of Auburn Hills Stadium
Who would want to leave if they didn't have to?
Pushing open the training ground door, Ben was sitting inside, staring blankly at the championship banner in the training ground.
Under normal circumstances, the championship flag will not only be hung in the arena, but also in the training field.
Li Ang also raised his head and looked at the flag.
"2002-2003 World Champion."
The flag was still very new, not even a speck of gray on it.
"We just won the championship not long ago." Ben said.
"Yes, it seems like just yesterday. Yesterday, we were fighting for those three bottles of champagne in the locker room."
"Stop talking, I remembered that Oku was licking the floor."
Ben and Li Ang both smiled, and then there was silence again.
"When are you leaving?" Daben walked up to Li Ang and put his arm around his shoulders.
"The day after tomorrow. I have to find a new house as soon as possible and then meet with the team management. I don't even know what the boss looks like yet."
"Hey, this year has gone by so fast and dreamily. It seems so unreal."
"Yes, when I first arrived here a year ago, the team had not yet formed a fighting force. Within one year, we had a championship, FMVP, and everything."
"Tell me, if you don't leave, how many championships can we win?"
"I don't know, there must be more than one anyway."
"plum."
"Um?"
"Good luck."
"Good luck to you too."
After that, the two faced each other. In the open training ground, he made another cross-elbow movement.
"No matter where we are from now on, we will be brothers, do you understand?"
"Of course, senior brother."
"Let's go, it's getting late. The day after tomorrow, I'll take you to the airport."
"OK."
Li Ang and Da Ben walked out of the training ground and turned off all the lights.
The clean championship flag hangs quietly on the wall.
This is proof that they won with blood and sweat.
Attack O'Neal from both sides, take down Giant Yao, and kill Ji without attacking.
Leon and Big Ben turned Detroit's three-second zone into the most feared no-fly zone.
The noise of the stadium, the fear of the opponents. Li Ang threw the ball into the air, and Wallace fell from the sky to complete a dunk.
Excited shouts, powerful high fives. The attack ended there, and the show ended.
The two drove to a fork in the road. At this time, Ben wanted to turn right, while Li Ang had to go straight.
Li Ang glanced at Da Ben through the car window. Da Ben nodded and drove away.
Watching the vehicle's taillights disappear into the darkness, Li Ang raised his head and stared at the night sky.
After working together for a year, I understand your inability to score empty baskets, and you understand my inability to score three-pointers. I can’t count how many opponents we have defeated.
Even the arrogant OK group was knocked to the ground by us, stepping on the corpses of two monsters to stand on top of the world!
but.
No matter how wonderful a movie is, it will come to an end.
When the green light came on, Li Ang stepped on the accelerator and continued on the road, as if his career could not stay where he was.
Goodbye Ben Wallace.
Goodbye Bad Boys.
Goodbye, Detroit.
