October 16th.

New York, NBA Headquarters.

The current chairman of the alliance, Adam Shaw, looked at a document handed in by the secretary and fell into deep thought.

In front of Adam Shaw was Alexander's application for the resale of the team.

Adam Shaw had known about the sale of the Rockets before, but there was a slight discrepancy in the document Alexander handed over on the table.

There are only two changes in the whole document, one is the transaction amount and the other is the transaction object.

The transaction amount changed from $2.2 billion to $2.3 billion, and the transaction partner changed from Fertitta to Shen Lang.

Adam Shaw is a shrewd white man who has only been at the helm of the NBA's sprawling league for a few years.

But with his brilliant business acumen, Adam Shaw has made the owners of NBA teams trust and support him.

At the same time, Adam Shaw also began a number of reforms, all of which were aimed at increasing the influence of the NBA league and increasing the market value of NBA teams.

Adam Shaw is now thinking about whether to approve the deal or not.

If it were someone else, Adam Shaw would not really agree.

After all, many media and even NBA internal meetings have confirmed the deal in the early stage.

But when it comes to the buyer being Chinese, Adam Xiaohua is a little moved.

If the NBA wants to expand its influence, the most important thing to lose is naturally the Chinese market.

Every year, the NBA spares no effort to develop the Chinese market, and the preseason must go to China every year in order to make more money from the Chinese market?

And the Rockets themselves are not ordinary to Chinese fans, and the team that the NBA League sent to China for the first time was the Rockets.

It can be said that the feelings of Chinese fans for the Rockets are incomparable to other teams.

This is also the reason why even if Da Yao retires in the later period, the Rockets are still the focus of attention of domestic fans.

Adam Xiaohua unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, and it took a while to stamp his seal and sign his name.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, the NBA officially held a press conference.

In the United States, the influence of the NBA is undoubted, and many reporters rushed to the scene in time when they heard the news.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Adam Shaw, wearing glasses, appeared in front of all the reporters.

"Thank you very much for coming, here I officially announce that Alexander, the former owner of the famous NBA team Rockets, will sell the team to Mr. Shen Lang, a wealthy man in China, let us congratulate Mr. Shen Lang. Adam said with a smile into the microphone.

"What?"

"God! Team Rocket sold to the rich man of China?"

"Today must be April Fool's Day, isn't it Fertita?"

As soon as Adam Xiaohua finished speaking, the scene exploded, and a group of reporters turned their heads and ears with shocked expressions.

Those who have been following NBA news for a long time are very aware of the Rockets.

Almost the deal between Fertitta and Alexander was almost paid at the end, why is there a rich Chinese man now?

Adam Shaw saw the shocked look of the reporters, and his heart was satisfied, and this was the effect he wanted to see.

Even these reporters in the United States were shocked like this, can you imagine how shocking it will be when it reaches China?

After the press conference, the news of the Rockets' sale to the Chinese billionaire quickly spread around the world.

The news is time-sensitive, and all of a sudden the most eye-catching news in the world is that the Rockets were sold to the rich Chinese people.

But no one knows the inside story, only that it happened very suddenly, and I have never heard of any rumors before.

……

The headlines on Weibo and Douyin in China are almost all about the news that Team Rocket was sold to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang's Douyin and Weibo are about to explode, and there are questions from domestic netizens everywhere.

"Awesome my brother, that's Team Rocket! I'll be a loyal fan of Team Rocket from now on!"

"Jack up, it's really a god-like post-90s, Shen Lang has too much money, right?"

"The price of the Rockets is $2.3 billion, and Shen Lang is not as simple as a billionaire. ”

……

Houston, Toyota Center.

It's Team Rocket's most iconic building, and it's also welcoming his new owner.

Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, had a mixed expression, and the Rockets' sale this time was really full of twists and turns.

Originally, Morey knew a lot about Fertitta and was ready to report to his new boss.

But in an instant, Team Rocket was sold to another rich man, and it was a mysterious Chinese billionaire.

Morey almost died of depression, but Morey was still in a good state of mind.

Among these professional managers in the league, Morey's ability is still quite good.

No matter who is replaced as the boss, basically Morey will not be replaced.

Alexander was a small old white man, and everything was harmonious with Shen Lang's meeting.

The NBA league approved that the owners of the so-called NBA Board of Governors would like the Rockets to sell for a high price and increase their team's market value.

Alexander smiled and took Shen Lang to visit the circle, pointed to an office and said: "Shen, congratulations on becoming the owner of this great team, my things have been moved, and I will be a fan of the Rockets quietly in the future." ”

"Thank you. ”

Alexander nodded and said, "Then the rest of the rest will be reported to you by Darrell." ”

After speaking, Alexander and Shen Lang embraced, then nodded to Morey and left the Toyota Center.

It can be said that the Rockets have nothing to do with Alexander.

Morey was a middle-aged fat white man who looked a little happy.

"Boss, I'd like to update you on the team. Morey glanced at Shen Lang and whispered.

The former Alexander brought Morey's shrewdness and business acumen to the fore.

But now that he has a new boss, Morey isn't sure if his method will still work.

Entering the office, Shen Lang sat in the boss's chair, which symbolized the highest power of Team Rocket.

Morey glanced at Shen Lang, who leaned back slightly, and didn't dare to sit down without Shen Lang's order.

"Sit, I'd like to hear your plans for Team Rocket. ”

Morey sat on the chair in front of Shen Lang at this time, and after some consideration, he said: "Boss, I have high expectations for the team this season, and now our record is also very good, I predict that we should be able to hope for the championship." ”

"Championship?"

Morey didn't understand what Shen Lang meant, and analyzed: "Boss, our current team is running in very well, we ......"

"Okay, put away the previous set, I'm not Alexander, I don't need to be careful, I want to see the strongest Rocket team, can you do it?" Shen Lang interrupted Morey's gushing and asked.

Morey swallowed and foamed, "Boss, you mean you want us to pay the luxury tax?"

"The Rockets want to win the championship, how can they do it without spending more money? The Cavaliers burned money and helped James win the championship, I allow you to burn money, but it must be worth the money. ”

Shen Lang handed over the rights to Morey, but he would also send someone to supervise Morey's rights.

Morey only felt his heart tremble, how many years?

In the past, Alexander was a poor man, and Morey didn't even dare to look at it, let alone pay the luxury tax.

Now Team Rocket finally has a rich boss!
