I Am a Nobleman in England - Chapter 473
Prokhorov is worth tens of billions of dollars. Although he is not the richest boss in the NBA, he is definitely ranked second. And according to Xiong’s local tyrant’s ideas, with reference to the success in Xiong’s country and the experience of compatriot Abramovich in the Premier League, it is natural to believe that as long as I have money and are willing to spend money, I will definitely be able to spend a thick dollar in the NBA. , Smashed a champion.
In fact, just as Arthur thought, after the previous life of Prokhorov entered the Nets, he even set a time limit for the championship-five years!
Of course, the Nets have also undergone drastic reforms, showing their pursuit of a championship. Even for the championship, they sacrificed the future of the Nets at that time, traded out multiple draft picks, and at the cost of luxury tax, they got Pierce, Garnett, Deron, Joe Johnson, and Dallo as a five-tiger lineup, although The stars are shining on the surface, but the actual lineup is too old and completely old, and it can be called the dead five. . .
As people expected, the Nets did not go far in the playoffs with such a lineup, and the Nets have gradually become a flaky team since then. Since then, the Nets have been trapped in a reincarnation as if they will never wake up. The bottom of the results, no picks, and the bottom of the results, still have no picks!
If Prokhorov’s arrogant idea is an act of ignorance that has not experienced NBA culture, then Arthur’s attitude towards the NBA is patience, making full use of every draft pick to complete the reconstruction of the Nets, not Smash a championship with money, because he, Arthur Bolin, really doesn’t have so much spare money. . .
I have to say that Arthur’s status as an earl and aristocracy is still very popular in the United States, and many people are willing to buy it. It is very easy to meet with NBA commissioner David Stern.
And for Arthur’s desire to acquire the Nets, NBA Commissioner David Stern also expressed support. Stern said that if Arthur can succeed in the acquisition, it will be a great opportunity for the NBA to further expand globally.
And it is worth mentioning that with such a successful acquisition, the Nets will become the first team in NBA history to be purchased and controlled by foreigners.
“… In the previous season, the Nets’ performance was indeed “unsightly.” The team almost became the team with the worst record in history. The current Nets really urgently need a “savior”. Appeared and led the Nets to achieve “Salted Fish Turnover”. I am looking forward to your joining, which will make the NBA younger and younger.” David Stern’s old face was full of smiles, watching Arthur said happily .
“Thank you. The facts have fully proved that the NBA is an extremely successful business entity. If I can join this big family, it will be an honor for me. To get the hard-to-return Nets out of the quagmire, a scientific reform is needed. Have enough patience.
I have always opposed using money to pile up big-name stars and let the team get a short-term explosion. That might win the moment, but definitely lose the future. Arthur smiled and expressed his ideas. After seeing David Stern’s nod of approval, he continued: “Mr. President, perhaps you should have heard of it. People who are also interested in the Nets There is a businessman from Xiong Country.
The opponent is the largest gold supplier in the bear country. He used to spend several times more investment than other teams in the bear country and led a team to win two championship titles. After seeing compatriot Abramovich’s success at Chelsea, he also tried to create a “Chelsea myth” in the NBA.
Moreover, as far as I know, Mr. Prokhorov’s many investments are in violation of American laws. Therefore, if possible, I suggest that the NBA league can thoroughly investigate Mr. Prokhorov’s personal background and review that he has become the owner of an NBA team. Human qualifications. Including Mr. Prokhorov’s company and personal experience in Russia, these are all aspects that the NBA needs to consider and investigate. . . “
“Ha ha…”
Hearing Arthur’s obviously defamatory words, David Stern first showed a stunned face, then his eyes flashed brightly, staring at the same bright eyes as Arthur, looking at Arthur’s unchanged expression. , Shook his head and laughed.
“I have also heard about Mr. Prokhorov’s situation. It is indeed disgraceful that he spent two weeks in Italy and was arrested, but he is considered an untrustworthy object. . It is a bit arbitrary.
However, his profound background does need to be carefully considered and investigated. If something goes against American laws and policies, then our alliance will naturally not welcome such people to join. “
Hearing David Stern’s ambiguous excuses, Arthur was not disappointed. He knew that for someone like David Stern, it’s okay for anyone to join the league, as long as it can bring money to the league and promote It works.
Whether it is the British market after Arthur’s joining, or the bear country market after Prokhorov’s joining, they have a huge boost to the alliance’s expansion in the international market. Naturally, he will not just because of Arthur’s words. Repel another rich man.
Only ~www.mtlnovel.com~Yes, Arthur had already planned to make trouble. Now that he has brushed his face at David Stern and put eye drops on his opponent once, then he will target The plan to make a fuss about the identity and background of the other party will naturally go ahead.
After deliberately letting out the news that he was preparing to acquire the Nets, the negotiations ended the next day. When Arthur walked out of the New York City Forest Group building, he was told by New York reporters who had already received the news.
“Yes, I do intend to acquire the New Jersey Nets. I hope to bring such an excellent game in the NBA to the British audience. What could be more attractive to the public than having a parent team belonging to them?”
Facing the group of reporters that surrounded him, Arthur answered the reporters with a bright smile, guarded by the bodyguards.
“As far as I know, at the end of last year, the owner of the Nets had an agreement with the billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov of the Bear Country. Mikhail Prokhorov also promised that it would take five years. Bring back a championship, what do you think about this?”
“Haha, agreement? What agreement? As far as I know, the Nets are still in a state of sale. Before the transaction is completed, no one knows what the final result will be, right?
As for using money to win a championship in five years, I can only say that the arrogant idea of those who say this is because they have not experienced the ignorance of NBA culture. . . “
“Hahaha~www.mtlnovel.com~ Hearing Arthur complained about the arrogant Xiong Country’s rich man, all the New York reporters present couldn’t help but laugh out loudly. For the Xiong Country people, they will instinctively reject them. There is no need for Arthur to fan the flames. The hostility and prejudice in his bones make everything.
“Moreover, I don’t support this kind of Jinyuan sports. It’s just using the team’s future in exchange for the short-term glory of the moment. Well, maybe someone really doesn’t care about the luxury tax. If I remember correctly, this year and next two years, Many superstars in the league will become free agents. Tsk tsk, if this kind of people who want to use money to smash the championship enter the league, I think many team owners will have trouble sleeping!” Arthur raised his mouth. Said with a mischievous smirk.
“Haha…”
The reporters on the scene burst into laughter again.
“Listen to what you mean, you don’t invest a lot of money to build a superstar team, right?”
“As for how to manage a team, I believe more in professionals, but as far as my personal philosophy is concerned, I pay more attention to the future of the team. The current results can’t tell you much. After all, as long as you have a good draft pick, the team can have the future. , And as far as I know, the Nets have a lot of good picks in their hands. I firmly believe that the Nets will have a better future.
As for superstars, well, I also like superstars. After all, the psychological factors of team leaders are also very important, which directly determine the team’s mood and upper limit. At the same time, the team’s chemistry and sacrifice must not be ignored. If I enter the Nets, the two things I will do is to find a more professional general manager for it, and then use all the picks in my hand to rebuild the team! Arthur said confidently and calmly.
