"What I admire most about Mr. Stern is your packaging and promotion of the stars, from the earliest Big Bird, the Magic duo, to Jordan, and now the OK combination, it is through the role of these stars that the NBA has been promoted to the world. Zhuo Zixu did not directly mention the conditions, but talked about the history of the NBA according to Chen Yu'an's instructions.

"Then there is the Dream Team, and it was the appearance of the Dream Team at the Barcelona Olympics in '92 that gave the world a taste of the charm of the NBA. Kou Yufeng added on the side that the Dream Team can be said to be the most powerful basketball team in the history of sports, they won the championship with unstoppable strength, so that basketball fans around the world clearly saw the gap with the NBA, and since then, the NBA has become the focus of attention of basketball fans around the world.

"The Warriors also have some good players, and with West's ability, they can definitely trade you the right stars. Stern somewhat understood what Zhuo Zixu meant, and was now thinking about it quickly.

"In addition to American stars, we want to have a Chinese-American player. Zhuo Zixu pointed out his requirements, "After returning to China last time, I went to watch Yao Ming's game, and I saw that there were many NBA scouts on the scene, and it seemed that many people were optimistic about him, but I believe that in addition to my team, his interests can be maximized." ”

"It took a lot of effort to convince Yao Ming to join the NBA. "Oh, it's a bit troublesome now, in order to convince Yao Ming before, but I have promised to sign him with the champion sign, due to the restrictions of the rules, even the team in the bottom can't guarantee to get the champion sign.

"Yes, it is for this reason that I didn't make a decision right away, I had to wait for the draft results to come out before buying the team, but then the cost of buying the team will increase, and in addition, there is no way to choose the city where the team is located, if the Houston Rockets get the top pick, then I have to go to Houston. "Zhuo Zixu doesn't want to go to Houston either, it's a bit far from Silicon Valley.

The number of Chinese Americans in Houston is too small, only one-fifth of that of San Francisco, so there is no way to maximize Yao Ming's commercial value, and if he goes to Houston, Ellison probably won't invest in new courts, right?

Stern and Xiao Hua exchanged glances, if he really plans to buy the Warriors and can fulfill the promise he just said, then it is also cost-effective for us to help him; after all, the NBA is a commercial league, everything is based on commercial interests, and it is nothing to carry out a little dark box operation.

Besides, this kind of thing has not been done before, what happened to New York's signing of Ewing's champion signing, Stern's Xiao Hua knows very well that he will send several champion picks to the Cavaliers in the future.

"The Warriors don't have a good record at the moment, and according to the lottery rules, they have a good chance of winning the first pick. Stern said vaguely, this kind of thing can't be said too bluntly, everyone just understands.

Besides, at present, Zhuo Zixu has only revealed his intention to buy the Warriors, and has not officially signed a contract, and Stern needs to go back to learn more about the situation before finally making a decision.

"We think so, so we plan to sign an agreement of intent with Cohan, pay a small deposit first, and buy 80% of his shares for $250 million when he wins the first prize. "As for the other 20 percent, it's all a minor problem.

"Tomorrow the Knicks will host the 76ers at home, and a few of them are welcome to the scene to experience the charm of the NBA. With the support of the team owner and a manager like West, who is good at team building, Yao Ming's hope is higher, and the NBA's entry into the Chinese market will be accelerated.

This can definitely bring huge benefits to the NBA, compared to these, what is a top pick! After finalizing the matter, Stern couldn't sit still, and after sending out the invitation, he hurriedly returned to the headquarters with Xiao Hua and asked his subordinates to investigate immediately.

The investigation found that what Zhuo Zixu just said was true, he did establish a good personal relationship with West, and he had visited Cohan and Alexander, and he also held Oracle stocks, in addition, he had a good relationship with Cuban and Allen, and even if he entered the NBA, he would not worry about being alone.

"So, are we going to sign the champion to the Warriors?" Xiao Hua has already begun to think about what to do, whether to freeze the envelope or heat it so that the Warriors can guarantee that they can draw the champion?

"No, don't rush just yet, keep in touch with Mr. Zhuo, and keep an eye on him and the Warriors until the end of the season before making a decision. "Stern has actually made a decision, but for the sake of prudence, he didn't act so early, and if Zhuo Zixu really signed an agreement with Kohan, then he would sign him the champion.

"Okay, it's basically settled, and then we can start talking to West about the head coach for the new season. "I wonder if West will let that coach coach guide Yao Ming?

Think about the coaches who worked with Yao Ming in his previous life, Tomjanovic is the most suitable for Yao Ming, and he works best with Yao Ming, and can formulate tactics for him according to Yao Ming's technical characteristics, but unfortunately he is sick and has a contract with the Rockets, so he can't dig it up; Van Gundy made Yao Ming gain weight, which led to the shortening of Yao Ming's career, and he can't be used.

As for Adelman, it is even worse, although Yao Ming has developed the ability to respond under him, but this guy likes to be ruthless and grassy, and Yao Ming was directly retired by the grass.

Let's listen to what West has to say first, firstly, because he respects the manager of the team, and secondly, because West is well-connected, he will definitely be able to find the most suitable coach for Yao Ming at the moment.

After ending the negotiations with Stern, the group flew to Los Angeles, and after watching a home game of the Lakers, they met the big man who built two generations of Lakers dynasties.

After giving West a repetition of the meeting with Stern, Weskey nodded, "That cunning old guy has already moved, and as long as you continue to make gestures to buy the Warriors, he will respond to you." ”

"So, is Mr. West willing to accept the position of general manager of the Warriors?" Seeing West smile so happily, Zhuo Zixu understood that this matter was already secure.

"Why not?" West shrugged, "After being with the Lakers for so long, it's time for me to try a new challenge." "It's better to build a team that beats Jackson and wins the championship.

Now that he has agreed, Chen Yuan took the opportunity to ask the question he was most concerned about, "Who do you think is the most suitable coach for this team?"
