"What about the coach of the Rockets?"

"Miles has already gone to talk. ”

After the meeting ended, Andy casually asked Granada, who was about to leave, and nodded when he heard the answer.

When Granada arranged the interview for the formation of a sports investment company, there were several candidates with rich experience in team management, but Andy, the plug-in, naturally saw from these people at a glance the best general manager of the Warriors in his previous life to build the Warriors into a championship, Bob Myers, the new star who represents the agent circle of 19 players, and the interview became a passing scene, he is now the director of the basketball department of Andy Sports, and he is also the general manager of the future team that Andy is preparing for.

Oakland, California.

Don Nelson, the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, looked at the young agent in front of him, Bob Myers, who had dealt with him several times, the brilliant tactician and innovator known as the mad scientist and the brilliant tactician who invented the shark-cutting tactic, and was overwhelmed by the hour-long analysis and persuasion that Myers chattered about in front of him.

Last year's Black Eight Miracle was the whole team of the Warriors who came down with one breath, sighed, the group of people under their own hands is the most powerful to enter the playoffs, expecting them to win the championship, it is basically like a dream.

For the 67-year-old Nelson, the most extravagant hope is undoubtedly to be able to get a championship, hold a ring that has never been in hand, and be able to retire completely.

"Coach, trust me, Mr. Smith is not Cohen of the Warriors, he is younger, he is more driven, he only has the championship in his eyes, and the Warriors' poor performance, serious financial losses are not going to build a championship team that you want.

The Rockets now have the best big man in the league, with superstar Maddie, and you just have to take over this team and want anyone in the league, as long as you can win a championship, Mr. Smith won't skimp on the knife, and for you as a master tactician, it's a piece of cake to use any player, isn't it. ”

"The overall champion... Old Nelson flashed a glint in his eyes, after the Black Eight Miracle, he has not chosen to renew his contract with the Warriors, just hoping to put some pressure on the management, can bring him a few players he needs, strengthen the team, and now it seems that there may be a better option.

"I need time to think about it, so sorry Miles, can't give you an answer right now. ”

Hearing Nelson Sr.'s answer, Miles breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the mad scientist was tempted, and finally said with a smile: "Mr. Smith wants a championship, he doesn't mind spending a little more money, he once joked that the best team's starters are All-Stars, let me talk to you before I come, the All-Star team needs a coach with old qualifications and high prestige like you to press the lineup, and that class of players can get to know each other a little." ”

When Nelson Sr. heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, but he was even more excited about being the head coach of the Rockets, perhaps this is the most likely journey to win a championship before he retires.

Thinking of the Asian giant who has grown up and can't be prevented, and Maddie who has a highlight moment of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, and then the last one, two All-Star players, a deep bench lineup, oh my God, the picture is too beautiful, and now the trend of giants huddles is becoming more and more popular in the NBA, and the old Nelson naturally knows that this kind of huddle is the best way to win the championship, plus his own flexible tactics, it is really close at hand.

Manhattan, New York.

Andy took Al and Granada into a high-end western restaurant, and the paparazzi who followed closely behind him also began to relax, the temperature at noon was still a little high, and they were about to go back to the car to eat something and rest.

But at this time, there was another luxury Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road, and the paparazzi looked at the car door wide open with curiosity, and the people who came down, some of whom recognized the person, hurriedly raised the camera and began to take pictures, and kept surrounding.

"Mr. Stern, do you have an appointment with Andy Smith?"

"Mr. Stern, is the Rockets trade in the final stages?"

"Would you agree to Andy joining the Alliance?"

。。。。。。

David Stern looked at the reporters around him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he was quickly relieved, these paparazzi should have followed Andy Smith, after all, that young man is the darling of various media chasing him.

Under the assistant's way, David Stern, who had a faint smile on his face, did not answer the reporters' questions and walked quickly into the restaurant.

For young people who are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a team to join the league, this kind of thing is rare, how can David Stern stop it, especially someone of Andy Smith's status, who can bring more attention to the league.

The atmosphere of lunch was very relaxed and harmonious, tasting food, complimenting each other, chatting about various interesting things, Andy's humor also played a lot of roles. And he also learned a lot of experience in the NBA's team management in David Stern's conversation, which is undoubtedly helpful.

"We'll close the deal this week, and hopefully the alliance will accept me as a member!" Andy smiled lightly, picked up a white napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, everyone had almost eaten, and they began to talk to the old man opposite.

"Of course, our league is a big family, of course you are welcome to join this wonderful young man, I am sure you will bring new energy to the league, by the way, you are only 23 years old this year, right, wow, you will be the youngest boss in the league, this will leave me a new record. Big Western had a happy smile on his face.

"I'm optimistic about you, Andy, you must know that the Rockets have helped the league open up a huge market since they had Da Yao, and Alexander did well before, Houston is also a good place, the economy is developed, the fans are enthusiastic, and the current roster is also very good, and it is not a problem to enter the playoffs. ”

"Hehe, thank you, Mr. Stern. Andy got the answer he wanted, and accepted all the praise of David, the old man, but he still said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I came with ambition, the championship is my pursuit, the impact of the championship, the all-star lineup may make the league's influence in the rabbit country greater than now, after all, the fans of the rabbit country have regarded the rocket as their home team because of the relationship with Da Yao." ”

"Hehe... That's a good idea, but, Andy, you'll have to be prepared with enough knives, and an All-Star roster will bring a luxury tax. David Stern's eyes lit up when he heard Andy's ambition and he said with a smile.

In this regard, Andy is very aware that like the giant plan he wants to carry out now, he may have to pay a lot of luxury tax every year, and the smile on his handsome face is even more charming, shrugging his shoulders and saying lightly: "It's not a problem for problems that can be solved with a knife, I have no concept of money, after all, for me, making money is a relatively easy and good thing." ”

The domineering words came out, and everyone present couldn't help but smile to hide the bitter smile in their hearts, this young man is really confident, well, it is also a fact, accumulating 10 billion US dollars in cash in assets a year is indeed a very incredible miracle, this kind of money-making speed, Andy is indeed qualified to be so domineering.

David Stern shook his head and smiled bitterly, meeting such a young man who is not bad at money and doesn't take money seriously, it seems that the pattern of the league is going to change greatly, and the formation of the Green Army's Celtics' aging Big Three may be their only chance to hit the championship this year.

"The league isn't going to stop a trade for the Rockets to build an All-Star roster in the future, right?"

David Stern said with a faint smile on his face, after a short groan: "Of course, the league will respect every heart that wants to win a championship. ”

As the president of the NBA, the leader of the NBA into a successful business league, he has seen too much for the team owners who wave checks and rush into the league, there are successes, there are failures, in any case, this will not have much impact on the league, but a new dynasty is born, no one can maintain its longevity forever, to put it bluntly, the NBA is a business league, and it is still very important to make money.
