How else to say that in a country like the United States, if you have money, you are the uncle?

5 days!

Just five days later, CNN announced that the North American branch of the Kirin Group had fully acquired the New York Knicks in the N.BA Eastern Conference for $32 million.

Since then, the New York Knicks have been surnamed Yin.

On this day, the North American branch of the Kirin Group announced that in the new season, the New York Knicks will be renamed the New York Kirins.

Although there are many fans who object, saying that the New York Knicks have never changed their name for so many years, and now the new owner will change the name as soon as he arrives, which is against the team's tradition.

They called on Yin Jun to respect the tradition and not change the name of the team, otherwise they would unite with fan organizations to refuse to watch the game.

Yin Jun scoffed at this.

I'm going to be threatened by your group?

More than one of the N.BA teams has changed its name.

Didn't the Washington Bombs change to the Washington Wizards?

Didn't the Kings start out as the Rochester Royals, and then changed their name several times in a row before they were named the current Kings?

The Charlotte Hornets were still called the Bobcats before 2014 - the Bobcats also appeared in "Life and Death", and the T-shirt worn by the heroine was the Bobcats, so the villain called her Little Wildcat, and finally Bekianu Reeves noticed it, so he knew that he had a camera on the bus, and made a great contribution to the final successful escape.

Besides, whether the team has an audience or not, it will always only be related to the stars the team has and the results it gets.

These trivial things have to be entangled, Yin Jun can only say, you Americans are really full of food and have nothing to do, what do I care about you?

Therefore, the New York Kirins have resolutely issued a statement that this is the will of the team owner, and no one can interfere with the sacred power of private property granted by this law.

Well, seeing that Yin Jun was on the line, these people were also speechless.

Originally, the New York Kirins were people's private property, does what he does have anything to do with you?

But some stubborn and stubborn people felt that Yin Jun was too barbaric and arrogant, so they started to fight, wanting to really boycott the New York Kirin team, let them see how powerful the fans are, so that they will respect them more in the future.

Yin Jun can't manage so much.

He immediately called the team's manager, Andy Nowitzki, over.

Nowitzki is certainly not the best manager in N.BA, but he has done a good job in the past two years, especially after the retirement of the meritorious coach, he can still maintain the situation, and he can be regarded as a middle-class talent, and Yin Jun does not want to replace him for the time being.

Otherwise, the best option should be the president and manager and head coach of the Celtics - "Red Coach" Auerbach.

It's just that Auerbach was unrivaled in the Celtics for a while, and he also built such a Celtic team with huge advantages, and it was when he was ready to produce results that he would not leave rashly.

The second founder of the Bulls dynasty, the talented draft manager Klaus, who selected superstars such as Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman, is actually the target of Yin Jun's desire to poach.

But after he contacted Yin Jun's people before, he was not optimistic about the New York Kirin team, so he refused Yin Jun's invitation.

Jerry West of the Lakers is also very good, but he did a good job with the Lakers and has a lot of power, and he has no interest in rashly changing the environment, so he also refused.

There was no way, Yin Jun could only use Nowitzki first.

Anyway, what Yin Jun needs now is just a manager who sorts out the internal structure and takes care of ordinary affairs, not someone who thinks too much.

Being summoned by a new boss for the first time, and being a super genius as strong as Yin Jun, Nowitzki was a little apprehensive.

On the first day Yin Jun came up, he directly changed the name of the team without consulting anyone, which really made people see the strength of super geniuses and super rich.

This is also a disadvantage for Yin Jun to everyone, if you want to fight him, there may be no good end.

Americans and Chinese people are more concerned about their jobs than Chinese people.

Especially those middle and high-level employees, the pressure is huge all day long, because they are afraid of losing their jobs.

Nowitzki's salary is more than $100,000 a year, which is the highest-paid middle level in the United States in this era, and he doesn't want his boss to take over the team and be the first to cut him.

"You go and take these three players down for me, no matter what it takes, I'm going to see the three of them in the training camp for the new season. The first sentence of the meeting, Yin Jun said so.

Holding the materials in his hand, Nowitzki frowned when he saw the first one.

After reading the second and third copies, he said: "Barkley is a little more difficult, but we can still get a top-five draft spot with next year's signing." Stockton, a small man, has a lot of potential at point guard, but it is estimated that the ranking is not high, and we can get our own draft picks.

Only this Jordan, who has been hailed as the most promising shooting guard, has been the brightest star in college for several years in a row, more dazzling than many people. So back last year, before he had decided to go to the draft, a lot of team managers approached him, including me. But Jordan himself didn't make a decision.

Besides, with our current conditions, it is still very difficult to get Jordan! Because he is either the champion sign, or the list eye sign, or the Tanhua sign...... It's hard to get out of third place. And even if we take out the draft picks for the year after tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't be able to exchange for a top-three pick. ”

"Then what solution do you have?" Yin Jun asked.

Nowitzki knew it was time for him to get the real thing.

He pondered for a moment and said, "If you really want Jordan, then it must be one of the Trail Blazers and the Bulls who can draft him." After all, the Houston Rockets, who were selected as the first draft pick in the first round, are already ready to be Olajuwon. If we want to be on the safe side, we choose to trade with the Trail Blazers and let them come up with the No. 1 pick, and we will definitely get Jordan. ”

The current rules of N.BA are not like in the future, and the lottery will be based on the results to determine who will win the champion, and it will not be implemented until next year.

Now that the lottery method has set the order of selection this year, Yin Jun doesn't have to care about specific things.

Yin Jun didn't know who was the leader in 1984, but Jordan, the third-place tanhualang, remembered it clearly.

But the teenager didn't go to correct Nowitzki, so what's wrong with being able to get Jordan with the second-place list?

It doesn't matter if you spend a little more, the most important thing is to get Jordan in your hands.

With a slight bow, Yin Jun asked, "How to trade?"

Nowitzki's face was sweating, and he finally gritted his teeth, "The Trail Blazers lack a shooting guard, and they also lack a good small forward...... Our team's Bernard King, one of the best small forwards in the league, was traded last year, and he averaged 26.3 points in the regular season and now averages more than 40 points per game in the playoffs, and is definitely a strong contender for the small forward of the year's All-Star team. If we were to trade Bernard King for a draft pick, the Trail Blazers would be willing. ”

Small forward?

Yin Jun frowned.

In the lineup he designed, Pippen didn't come before he came, and he just lacked a good small forward.

Now that I have such a good small forward in my team, wouldn't it be a pity to take it out and change it?

"Isn't there anyone else?" Yin Jun asked with a deep groan.

Seeing Yin Jun's appearance, Nowitzki breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the boss doesn't go his own way.

"We could take one of Marvin Webster or Bill Cartwright and pay them three years on a contract salary, and the Trail Blazers would agree. "It's just that we have to pay an extra sum of money to the players to get them to agree to the transfer." Then the salary plus taxes for three years also exceeded 1.5 million US dollars, which is not a small burden. ”

The salaries of N.BA players are not high now,

In the 50s, their annual salary was only $2,000-$5,000.

In the 60s, superstars like X-god Chamberlain only had an annual salary of 100,000.

The salary of these two stars of the New York Knicks is more than 200,000 a year, which is already very good.

The entire league doesn't even have an annual salary of 1 million.

After Jordan's second comeback, the $34.5 million income now sounds like a fantasy.

However, Jordan's salary is also the highest in the N.BA, and it will not be broken until after 2010.

"Money is not an issue. Yin Jun said, "That's it!"

"Good!"

A smile appeared on Nowitzki's face.

Although the boss is a little stronger, it is a big advantage to spend money happily, and it seems that the team's life will be better in the future.

Having money may not be able to bring the team well, but no money will definitely not be able to bring the team well.

"Jordan's own wishes, have you thought of any way?" Yin Jun asked.

"I don't know yet. "I went to him twice, but he and his family were very cautious and polite to everyone, but they didn't make any promises, and I think he was waiting for the price." ”

"Sell at a price?"

Yin Jun laughed.

Jordan's character, I'm afraid he himself doesn't know it clearly.

When he was a player, he was able to negotiate with the league with the players, and he would just boycott the game without raising his salary.

Then after he bought the N.BA team and became the owner of the team, he resolutely led the bosses to suppress the players' demand for salary increases and did not back down.

Such a person doesn't like money the most, and what do they like?

When the god of basketball is off the court, he is just an ordinary money-loving person.

In fact, this is the same as celebrities, if you remove the halo from them, sometimes they are not as good as an ordinary person!
