Chapter 209: Son of the Wind (Ask for Subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the game between the SuperSonics and the Warriors, fans only knew before the game that Lu Fei was resting again.
Without Lu Fei's supersonic still won the Warriors, although the process was a bit difficult, but it did not affect the final result.
Ray Allen had a burst of hands, scoring 30 points on inside and outside shots, letting everyone know that he was the real thigh of the supersonic.
It's just that the game lacks Lu Fei's tandem, and the offense is not as smooth as before.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Fei left home and flew back to the other side of the ocean with Gu Tang, he did not fly directly to Seattle, but to Boston.
"You're finally here!" Joe Johnson began to complain at the first glance when he saw Lu Fei: "That Zuckerberg is so shrewd, the contract that was finally negotiated, I am afraid of yellow if you don't come again." ”
Joe Smith looked haggard at the top of the two pandas, and it was obvious that the negotiations during this period of time had taken a lot of his thoughts.
Lu Fei saw Zuckerberg, who was wearing a very ordinary white sweater, with yellow curly hair, and a simple look flashing in his eyes from time to time.
The contract has been almost negotiated, and all that remains is some discussion about the details.
Zuckerberg also didn't expect that the NBA star who would invest in him would be the popular NBA star in the United States, and it would be the boyfriend of his girlfriend Priscilla's roommate Gu Tang.
In fact, the current valuation of Facebook is very low, and Lu Fei can buy the platform with the money, but Zuckerberg thinks that the prospects of his social platform are very good, so he finally set a 25% ratio after bargaining.
Lu Fei knew that after several rounds of financing, this proportion would continue to be diluted, but with the growth of Facebook's market capitalization, even if the diluted proportion was still able to make a lot of money.
After finally signing the investment agreement, Lu Fei also signed Zuckerberg and Priscilla.
Zuckerberg looked at Lu Fei's departing back and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lu Fei walked around the corner indifferently, and after making sure that the other party couldn't see him, he also breathed a long sigh of relief.
A game ended in a breeze, and no one knew who was the hunter and who was the fox.
Lu Fei and Gu Tang didn't do much to keep warm, so they set off for Seattle.
It's been many days since he left the team, and it's not so easy to play the Mavericks in the next game.
The Mavericks are now sixth in the West, the second tier of the Western Conference playoff teams, slightly inferior to the teams ahead of him, but the overall strength should not be underestimated.
Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley, Antoine Jamison, Steve Nash, Antoine Walker, Josh Howard, Marquis Daniels, such a lineup is pulled out, but it also belongs to the ranks of the strong team.
Dallas, American Airlines Arena.
There are a lot of fans here today, and everyone probably wants to see the Mavericks, who have lost two in a row, get out of the predicament, but everyone also knows that this game is against the Seattle SuperSonics, and it is not so easy to win.
Especially during this period when the team owner wanted to renew Nash's contract early without success.
At the end of the season, the 29-year-old will become a restricted free agent. Cuban's original plan was to talk to Nash about a contract extension in the middle of the season.
His plan is to extend his contract for six years, with an annual increase of 12 percent.
Cuban thinks Steve would love the plan, as the contract extension not only guarantees Nash the rest of his life in Dallas, but also doesn't make him a devalued free agent due to age and injury.
Cuban guessed wrong, and Nash and his agent, Bill Duffy, didn't accept the offer to extend his contract early.
However, Nash is a restricted free agent, and the Mavericks can eventually keep him by matching offers from other teams.
But the offer was still a little unpleasant for both parties.
The unhappiness has affected the team's record, and the Mavericks have lost two in a row and desperately need this win to curb the decline.
"The game is on, Nowitzki jumps the ball and ......" The game began amid the passionate shouts of the MC on the spot, and Finley handed the ball to Nash.
Lu Fei looked at the thin Nash in front of him, no one would have thought that after Nash left Dallas this summer, he would win the regular season MVP twice.
In fact, the Mavericks had a chance to keep Nash, but unfortunately Cuban let him go with a thought.
Lu Fei knew that the Mavericks would make an offer to Nash this offseason, and Nash's agent Duffy also provided the Mavericks with a data report.
That report became the beginning of a rift between the Mavericks and Nash's team.
The data sheet lists Nash's technical statistics, which, in the words of Cuban, are "typical of good news but not bad news."
In the table, Nash's stats are used to compare with first-line point guards such as Billups, Cassel, Jason Williams, and Gary Payton, but in terms of salary, the table only gives the treatment of guards like Baron Davis and Mike Bibby who have sky-high contracts.
Obviously, such a form would greatly boost Nash's salary expectations.
How much money to give Nash to the contract became the biggest headache for Cuban in those days. The dynamics of the alliance are also included in the Kuban considerations. On the one hand, the terms of labor are about to be revised, and on the other hand, the four-year NBA television broadcast will also expire. All kinds of uncertainties made Cuban dare not rashly give a big contract.
He's a team owner, but first and foremost he's a businessman.
In the end, Cuban followed Nelson's advice and offered a four-year contract at $10 million a year.
Who knew the Suns had made an incredible offer of $65 million over five years.
What stunned Cuban even more was that the Suns, who quoted the price, sent a strong recruiting team for Nash, including team chairman Jerry Colangelo, team general manager Brian Colangelo, new owner Robert Savi, head coach D'Antoni, scout Chapman, former NBA player Steve Kerr, and the team's forward Stoudemire.
Xiao Si is also a customer of Duffy.
With so many people coming together to recruit Nash, the main thing is the enticing contract.
In the end, the Mavericks lost Nash, and this season was Nash's last season with the Mavericks.
And Nash, who left the Mavericks, also began a brilliant career of his own.
8-time All-Star, 7-time Team of the Year, and two-time regular season MVP, Nash is full of honors after retiring, but it seems that something is missing...... Yes, what he's missing is at least one championship trophy that should have belonged to him and Dirk together.
At this time, Nash faced Lu Fei's defense, his eyes were calm, he steadily took the ball through the half court, just when Lu Fei sank his weight and was about to fight with the legendary point guard, Nash suddenly shook his hand, and the ball flew over Lu Fei's head to the basket with a bang.
Lu Fei hurriedly turned around, only to see that Michael Finley had gotten rid of Ray Allen's defense and rushed directly to the supersonic basket.
"Boom!"
The first ball is an empty dunk, do you want to be so brutal?
