Chinese fans who were still immersed in the joy of victory one second, suddenly reacted the next second and the opponent in the next game turned out to be the American team?

"Why did we win the game and meet the U.S. instead?"

"You're stupid, the U.S. team is fourth in Group B, and we are first in Group A, of course we played the United States."

"Team USA is fourth?"

"Hey, who knows how they're so watery this year, they've lost two games in Group B, they're fourth in the group, and I don't know if we're lucky or not."

"The United States has lost two games in Group B, maybe it can also lose to our Chinese men's basketball team!"

"That's really the ......"

"Come on, come on, the Chinese team will win!"

The fans are cute, they are full of confidence in the Chinese men's basketball team, even if the game is still one day away, the sound of cheering for the Chinese men's basketball team can be heard everywhere in the domestic stadiums.

There are only four games in basketball on this day.

The women's basketball team won the ninth and eleventh place competition, and the men's basketball team won the ninth and eleventh place competition for the men's basketball team, and then the Chinese women's basketball team won the Japanese women's basketball team 82:63 and won the ninth place.

The women's basketball team did not achieve satisfactory results, and all the fans' eyes were focused on the men's basketball team.

The Chinese men's basketball team went to the bus to the training hall.

"Congratulations on winning the game!" Lu Fei received a surprise phone call in the car, and it was Paul Allen.

"Thank you, Mr. Allen, how are you doing?" Lu Fei asked.

"It's not bad, I heard that you are going to play the U.S. men's basketball team in the next game, and I think you will have time to rest soon." Paul Allen made a joke and continued: "I think you're too tired this summer and it might affect your performance next season. ”

"......" Lu Fei.

"Okay, don't bother you, you can get ready for the game against the American team, and we'll have a lot of time to chat together after the Olympics are over."

"Huh?" Lu Fei was stunned.

"Concentrate on the game, goodbye." Paul Allen hung up.

Lu Fei rubbed his temples, he felt that this summer seemed to be a little too unpeaceful......

Wang Zhizhi opened his hazy eyes, and when he was asleep, he heard Lu Fei muttering in English for a long time, and he didn't hear what he said clearly, and asked, "Who?" Ray Allen? ”

He vaguely heard the word Aaron.

Lu Fei smiled: "It's not Allen, it's Allen." ”

"Alan? Which Ellen? Wang Zhizhi was stunned, and for a while he didn't expect that Lu Fei had a friend named Allen in the United States.

"Paul Allen, owner of the Trail Blazers......" Lu Fei said.

"The owner of the Trailblazers called you...... Is that Paul Allen? Is it the owner you met privately with the last time the Trail Blazers played away? Last season, I heard that because of your meeting with him, the team management had a one-night meeting, and they really want to trade you? ”

"No, don't think about it, you'll find out soon." Lu Fei shook his head.

He believed that since Paul Allen had called him, it meant that the matter had come to an end, and it was the end of August, and it should be time for the dust to settle.

The day's training was quickly over.

Just as the sun was setting, a piece of NBA news suddenly detonated the basketball circle - the NBA league has agreed to a swap between the owners of the Trail Blazers and the owners of the SuperSonics!

The SuperSonics have changed owners?

For a while, all Chinese fans focused on the former Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen, and all kinds of information about Paul Allen jumped on the paper.

The founder of Microsoft, the chairman of the American cable operator, the shareholder of DreamWorks, the owner of the Seattle Seahawks, and the sixth in Forbes magazine, these are all Paul Allen identities.

Only then did everyone find out that the Pioneer boss was so rich?

The previous owner of the Seattle SuperSonics was the owner of Starbucks, but the market value of the Seattle SuperSonics has obviously surpassed that of the Portland Trail Blazers.

It wasn't until he saw the difference in market value that the media said that Paul Allen paid in cash that he suddenly realized that the local tyrant is capricious.

The deal was arguably the biggest deal of the summer, and players like those were a bit of a game in front of it.

But the transaction of swapping owners is really long-lived.

In fact, the league agreed to this deal, and there is evidence, and the SuperSonics and Trail Blazers are not the first team to do so.

In 1978, Celtics owner Ilf Levine, a native of California, wanted to bring the team to Southern California, so he made a ghost deal with John Brown, the owner of the Buffalo Braves, the predecessor of the Clippers, and they swapped the team shares, that is, the Celtics became Brown's team, and the Braves became Brown's team.

So the deal between SuperSonics and Portland was finally agreed to by the league.

Paul Allen becomes the owner of the SuperSonics.

Wang Zhizhi's jaw almost fell to the ground when he heard the news, "Can there still be this kind of operation?" ”

Lu Fei didn't expect that Paul Allen's choice of method would be like this, but think about it, if you want to become the boss of the supersonic speed in a short time, this is probably the fastest way.

If it is a normal transaction, it will take a long time just to find a seller for the Trailblazers, and then it will take a long time to buy the supersonic team, and it will be a long time.

The NBA team is not what you want to sell, you can buy if you want, the purchase of the NBA team requires the consent of the owners of the other 29 teams, and it also needs to be under the strict anti-money laundering regulatory system in the United States.

Paul Allen took a shortcut and directly swapped shares between the owners of the two teams.

Lu Fei looked at the night outside the window, and could only sigh that ginger was still old and spicy, and it was not an exaggeration to describe Paul Allen with a word of foresight, it is estimated that he had been working on this matter since the beginning of the Rasheed Wallace deal, perhaps earlier......

Paul Allen is the owner of the SuperSonics, and I'm afraid the SuperSonics won't move out of Seattle again.

Then there will be nothing to do in the city of Russia in the future.

The changes in this alliance are getting different from what I remember......

Wang Zhizhi opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but Lu Fei stopped him and told him to finish the game of the American team first, after all, he would not return to the NBA until a few months later.

Lu Fei knows what Wang Zhizhi is worried about, he is worried about changing a boss, his contract is gone, he is different from Lu Fei, Lu Fei is the core of the iron fight, he is just a substitute, although his current strength is not worried about not finding a job, but he is used to staying in Seattle, especially in a foreign country with Lu Fei, a compatriot in a team, he has a sense of security.

Lu Fei can't guarantee this, after all, the NBA is a business, and he has a good relationship with Paul Allen, which does not mean that Paul Allen will not trade Wang Zhizhi out in order to strengthen the team, I am afraid that if he does not play well, he will also be traded.

But it doesn't seem like it is going to be.

Back in the Olympic Village, it was getting late, and Lu Fei received another call from Carmelo Anthony.

"Lu, is it true that the supersonic change of boss said in the news?"

"The news you watch and the news I watch should be the same news." Lu Fei said lightly.

"......" Anthony pretended to be angry and said, "Don't let me see you tomorrow, or I will blow up your ......"

"Substitute, don't talk!"

Anthony suddenly had a heart-piercing feeling.
