Chapter 652 [I Want to Get Rich]
"The NBA Warriors are going to be bought by the Chinese!"
This news, when Yao Mingxing was about to retire and Yi Di couldn't fight, was really a spring thunder explosion in the Chinese sports world, which was deafening.
If you want to say that the home team of Chinese fans, of course, is the Rockets, relying on the influence of the "Great Wall of China" in the NBA for many years, the owner Alexander has made a lot of money. But after Yao Ming is about to retire, it is unknown how much affection he can maintain.
There are many Chinese fans who actually think that it was the rocket that used Yao Ming to waste. In the final analysis, the only thing the Chinese really care about is Yao Ming, not rockets. Even if Yang Ma will broadcast the Rockets' games one after another in the future, it is just a matter of habit.
Then Chen Ergou suddenly became the owner of the Warriors, it has to be expected, will the Warriors replace the Rockets as the "Chinese home team" in the future? Yao Ming played well in the NBA, after all, he was just an employee, and now, a whole team is Chinese, which may make fans find a sense of belonging. What's more, Chen Ergou's 66 points in the NBA Masters not long ago have not passed.
But Chinese fans really don't know much about the Warriors.
What All-Stars does the Warriors have now? What kind of impressive record do they have? Why did Chen Ergou take a fancy to the Warriors, and did he really spend a lot of money to win a basketball reputation because he was in the limelight at the Masters?
The role of the media began to appear, and the major sports media bricks appeared one after another, reporting on Chen Ergou's NBA team like crazy. It's just that judging from the reports, the Warriors are really not good right now.
The Warriors have won championships in history, and that was in ancient Chamberlain. In the modern basketball period, except for the Black Eight who shocked the league, there was no record that could be achieved. It's just that Nelson Sr., the meritorious coach who led the team to complete the Black Eight Miracle, resigned at the beginning of the season, and the team has only 18 wins until now, and there is no hope for the playoffs.
Golden State is a popular city with a Chinese population in the United States, but San Jose, where the team is located, is not popular with the Chinese. When it comes to Silicon Valley and San Francisco, most people are familiar with it, but many people may not have heard of San Jose or even pronounce it in English.
With a population of 500,000, it ranks 10th in the United States in terms of urban population, and in California, behind Los Angeles and San Diego. At least more than 60 percent of the high-tech people in the United States live in Silicon Valley. It's a city that Silicon Valley has picked up.
So no matter how you look at it, Chen Ergou buying the Warriors is not a good idea.
At least the experts are not optimistic.
Outsiders can't figure out why Chen Ergou wants to buy the Warriors instead of teams in other big cities? The only possible reason that comes to mind is that it is closer to Silicon Valley!
This matter is not only discussed by Chinese, but also by the Warriors. From the rumor to change the boss, to the signing of the agreement and the change of the boss, the progress is very fast. But now that the news has been on the air for more than a week, I still haven't seen the boss come to take over the team.
The only figure that can be seen is a lawyer named Donnie helping with the boss's handover.
The team management has no intention of working, and they don't even care about the players of the team to play the game. Local fans can't expect the strange new boss to become a Chinese.
And so it went on for a week.
On this day, early in the morning, a sports car suddenly came to the door of the Oracle Arena. A young man controlled the drone camera above his head, talking while walking, Shi Shiran came to the door of the team.
8 p.m. domestic time is the prime time for surfing the Internet, and the content of major live broadcast platforms is the same. Singing, dancing, playing games, and chatting awkwardly, and then suddenly received a system notification that Chen Ergou started a live broadcast.
Fans who got the news flocked to it.
Chen Ergou opened his remarks: "Friends, it's 8 o'clock in the morning San Francisco time, and I suddenly want to take you to see the Warriors' Oracle Arena. Haha, my Warriors! Don't leave if you're interested......"
“666~”
"Dog 66 points!"
"When to play in the NBA. ”
"Warriors boss Niu Pi, this is here for a surprise inspection. ^_^”
"Is the street at five o'clock in the morning in San Francisco turned out to be sauce purple?"
"At this point in time, Volute has been practicing in Los Angeles for more than an hour. ”
"I want to get rich!"
"No, just lie down, sister, I'll get rich and raise you!"
Chen Ergou didn't stay with Shui Youpi for too long, looked at the huge Oracle Arena in the hazy morning light, and said: "Friends, this is the famous Oracle Arena, which is a new arena renovated on the basis of the old Auckland Stadium, and is named by Oracle, the world's largest enterprise software company. ”
"I heard that the renovation alone cost 108 million, so this Oracle Arena is one of the most advanced arenas in the league, with a capacity of 19,200 people to watch the game at the same time, in addition to the scientific lighting layout to ensure that the game is broadcast live. But to be clear, this arena doesn't belong to me. ”
“???”
The barrage is full of question marks.
"Didn't you buy it, it's not even the arena yours, and you bought a ball. ”
"Did you buy just one team?"
Chen Ergou didn't explain much.
Of the 29 arenas used by the NBA's 30 teams, only seven-and-a-half of them have their own arenas, not the Warriors.
In the original plane, the Warriors will build a new arena and relocate it to San Francisco. It is not uncommon to propose to relocate the arena to San Francisco, but it has never been possible. And the Oracle Stadium that is rented now costs more than 2 million yuan a year.
Chen Ergou also has the same idea, he must move, the new arena does not have to be luxurious, after all, the league has a unified standard in this regard. Just because San Francisco is a big city!
But moving means a huge expense, as San Francisco also has the highest housing prices in the United States. And now he has no money, and he still owes a lot of debt to the bank!
When he came to the gate, the doorman looked a little hesitant on his face, but he still greeted him, and he had already noticed the young man talking to himself.
Chen Ergou smiled: "Hello, you should know me." ”
The black security guard made a sweaty expression, half-bowed and said helplessly: "Yes, you are our new boss." Hank, get me up, the boss is here. "Kicked another security guard on duty who was still sleeping.
Chen Ergou was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Okay, I want to go in and have a look, can you help me stop the car?"
"Of course, we'll be happy to help you. ”
"Thank you. ”
Before working hours, the arena was still empty. But to outsiders, everything in the arena is fresh. The team's current logo has not been changed, and he is going to change it after he takes over. The mascot is the flying man Sander, the blue-skinned muscular masked man. Got a dunk over the heads of a lot of people, including a lot of brave Warriors fans. The personal characteristic dunk is to dunk after jumping and stepping down to change the ball and flip and flip, double dunk, that is, after the left hand dunks, the right hand dunks again after receiving the ball under the basket.
It's cool!
