Robert. Pera, unlike most greasy entrepreneurs, is now only 35 years old. And in terms of physiognomy, he is younger than his actual age, and his figure is well managed, and he doesn't stand up his big belly.

This is mainly due to Pera's hobby, basketball. Pera goes to the court four or five times a week, and the Los Angeles-born bringers of basketball as any other kid, with the exception of the computers and the Internet that made him rich.

Pera joined Apple in 2003 as a hardware engineer. But after two years, he realized that this was not the only path to success, so in 2005, Pera left Apple to look for investment opportunities related to wireless network technology. In March of that year, he took out all his savings at the time, as well as cash overdrawn through his credit card, and scraped together $30,000 to set up his own company.

Pera's act of escaping $30,000 to open a company with an overdraft credit card was seen as a desperate risk. But he is quite proud of it, and quickly identifying opportunities, and then putting clear and concise efforts in the right direction, is Pera's life credo.

So, when he found out that the Grizzlies might go further, he decided to take a shot, who loves basketball.

On April 6, the Grizzlies, who had just played back-to-back games, returned home to continue their regular season journey after a day off. Today, the Grizzlies' opponent is the defending champion Dallas Mavericks, who are struggling on the brink of the playoffs.

The Dallas Mavericks' championship last year was extremely high, but they also have a good chance of becoming one of the worst defending champions in NBA history.

This game is in high demand, and Grizzlies fans will really enjoy the team's revenge. But at this time, the current owner of the Grizzlies sitting in the luxury box, Michael . But Haisley didn't have time to scruple about the game, as he had a very important guest.

"The Federal Express Arena was really great, I saw a portrait of Elvis Presley outside. People say that this is the most literary and artistic stadium in the entire league, and it really lives up to its name. "Beside Hesley, young Robert. Pera expressed his love for the Federal Express Arena.

"It's true that this arena has always been underrated, and in fact its facilities are quite luxurious. By the way, Mr. Pera, you should have read my quote. "Michael. Seeing that the match had officially begun, Haesley officially began preliminary negotiations between him and Pera.

"I've seen it, and you want to pay 377 million. Truth be told, this price can scare away a lot of buyers. Pera stared at the pitch as she spoke to Haisley.

Last year, the U.S. media estimated that the Grizzlies were worth about $269 million, just above the Bucks in the NBA league, ranking 29th and second-to-last in the league.

However, who knows, the Grizzlies, who had been silent for a long time that year, actually reached the Western Conference Finals and remained in the top three spots in the West all the way this year. Therefore, Haisley also took advantage of the trend to increase the selling price.

However, in the eyes of most people, spending nearly $400 million to take down the Memphis Grizzlies is still not very cost-effective. That's why Haesley's plan to sell the team hasn't been going well.

"So, did this offer scare you away?" Haesley asked with interest.

"If I had been scared away, I wouldn't be sitting here now."

"Hahaha, it looks like you really want to get into basketball, Mr. Pera. Basketball isn't that easy, though. Running a team is not as simple as having 10 players to play. "Hesley wants to get his team out of the way, but he doesn't want his team to fall into the hands of unreliable people. After all, the grizzly bear is also his heart's work.

Therefore, he carefully reminded Pera that it is not easy to run the team.

Pera, however, nodded firmly, "Thanks for the reminder, Mr. Haesley. I thought, I'm ready. By the way, are there any other requirements on the Alliance's side? ”

Haysley paused, he didn't expect Pera to answer so briskly, "Uh...... The league's requirement is that you don't move the Grizzlies out of Memphis for 15 years. You know, the league is scared of all the teams going to the big cities. ”

"Really? Hahaha, I have no intention of moving the team. In this way, we can go deeper. Pera agreed to all the conditions, and he was determined to take the Grizzlies.

But now, he wants to put the buying of the team on the back burner. It's a rare time to come to the Federal Express Arena and not take a good look at the team's future cornerstones, which would be a shame......

Nowitzki flips over and jumpers, and last year, in that case, he was able to score nine times out of ten. But this time, in Randolph's interference, Dirk misses the shot!

"Nowitzki couldn't get the ball in, Gasol Jr. got the rebound, and the Grizzlies got the chance to continue to extend the score!"

Conley went straight past half-time to break through "Neurotic" Delonte. West, Kidd were injured, and the Mavericks had to play the starting No. 1 position with West, who had been in a bad mental state. However, the thing seems to be wandering on the basketball court again.

Seeing this, the Mavericks' defense shrank and their starting center, Brandon. Heywood jumped at the same time as Conley jumped.

As everyone knows, Conley didn't attack the frame, but just passed the ball after jumping.

Link, who broke through Marion from the side and cut into the penalty area, received the ball and dunked it directly, and it was easy for the Grizzlies to attack.

On the sidelines, Mavericks coach Rick Brown. Carlisle shook his head helplessly.

If it had been last year, Nowitzki's shot would not have missed at all.

Even if he missed, last year's Kidd wouldn't have allowed Conley to break through so easily.

Even if it is really broken, Tyson, who guards the inside line. Chandler won't be deceived so easily, and Marion won't be thrown off so easily.

Now, just a year later, everything has changed. The one who is not there is gone, and the one who is declining is gone. The grizzly bear was eliminated by the Mavericks last year, but this year, it was the Mavericks who couldn't breathe.

After that shot, the Grizzlies took an eight-point lead in the final 30 seconds. Although theoretically, Mavericks still have a chance. But judging from the current situation, the Maverick is powerless.

"Beautiful victory, the Grizzlies weren't discouraged after losing to the Thunder in their last game, but quickly adjusted. Today, at home, they played at the level they deserved. Link had 24 points, six rebounds and eight assists on 9-of-15 shooting from the field, shooting 60 percent. In the last game, Link was not as efficient as usual due to physical reasons. But today, he was undoubtedly back in top form. ”

The game is coming to an end, and as is customary, Hubi. Brown couldn't help but blow at Link.

Since Gay's injury, Link has indeed led by example in every game, being the team's top scorer every game. All the difficult offenses, Link has all the punch.

On this basis, Link's defensive quality, assists and rebounds have not declined, which is indeed very commendable.

In the end, the Mavericks lost 98-104 to the Grizzlies on the road. So far, the Grizzlies have become the fourth team in the league to win their 40th game in a shrinking season after the Thunder, Spurs and the No. 1 Bulls in the East.

In an interview after the game, when asked by reporters, "Do you have the confidence to win the next game against the Clippers, who are direct competitors in the rankings", Link's answer is also very much like a leader.

"We're going to do everything we can to keep the top three in the West and that's the most important thing for us right now. My team-mates and I are hungry to fight and we're going to give our best. ”

"Signing Link is the best thing you've ever done, Mr. Haasley." Looking at Link who was being interviewed on the field, Robert . Pera smiled with satisfaction.

He believed that one day, Hardaway would see the value of that guy.

If nothing else, Pera thinks he can officially take over the Grizzlies this summer, and when the time comes, it's just in time for the offseason.

Pera was already a little impatient to start his big reforms.
