Chapter 344: Change of Hands

The Spurs are in excellent form and can be the top spot in the West for a reason.

If they hadn't suffered that six-game losing streak in the middle of the game, the Spurs would have made halfway game history by now.

Even so, the Spurs' current record is a frightening high, with a 39-10 record, firmly in first place in the league.

The bottom three in the league are the Celtics, Bulls and Heat.

Then there are the Lakers, Rockets and other teams in the West.

It was very difficult for the Kings to win a game against the Spurs, and the Kings made a concerted effort tomorrow, and finally played until there were 2 minutes and 33 seconds left in the fourth quarter to finally let the Kings tie the score 103-103, which still occupied the advantage of the home court.

After that, it all depends on the state of the players.

In the end, with DeRozan hitting both free throws in the final moments, the Kings won the game 109-107 at home, giving the Spurs their 11th loss.

As soon as the game against the Spurs was over, the Kings had a relaxed schedule until All-Star Weekend.

This year, the organizing committee invited DeRozan to participate in the slam dunk contest, but DeRozan still refused the invitation after asking Wang Mingming's opinion.

Participating in the slam dunk contest this year, with a popular player like Blake Griffin, even if DeRozan dunks well, it is very difficult to win the championship, and creativity is hard to find, DeRozan's performance last year is enough experience, and the fans will be visually tired if they look at the same stretched dunk a few more times.

However, it is the three-point shooting competition and the skills competition, and Wang Ming encourages the team members to sign up and actively participate.

Bledsoe was not selected for the Tricks Contest due to his reputation, while Cosby successfully participated in this year's three-point contest.

With the starting roster out in the lineup, the most talked-about All-Star list right now for All-Star Weekend is the backup All-Star list.

The NBA officially announced the two head coaches selected, Doug Rivers of the Celtics in the East and Gregg Popovich in the West.

The Celtics and Spurs are now at the top of the East and West, respectively, so it is understandable that they have been selected.

The All-Star bench in the East comes out on a close heels of Ray Allen, Chris Bosh, Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol, Joe Johnson, Paul Pearce and Rajon Rondo.

When the starting list came out, Boston fans were still feeling indignant that no one from the top team was selected as the starting lineup, and the substitute list came out, and the Celtics had four players selected at once, such a grand occasion, since the 90s, only two teams have done it, namely the 98 Lakers and the 06 Pistons.

Now, one more is added, 11 Celtics.

"It's crazy, the Celtics are really good, but there are still a lot of good players in the league, and the results of this vote seem to be a little bit unbalanced."

Experts from Yahoo Sports argued that this time the list was very unreasonable.

In the West, the bench is Tim Duncan, DeMar DeRozan, Al Horford, Manu Ginobili, Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Paul.

The competition is tougher in the West, with undrafted stars including Paul Millsap, Deron Williams, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, Monta Ellis, and many more.

There are some stars who are overwhelmed by statistics, and some are stars with particularly good records, but they are not the stars of the team, and their personal data is affected, and they are ignored by the head coach when they are selected.

It is a pity that many stars in the West were not selected, and in addition, there are some regulars who were originally in the All-Star game, but are gradually fading out of sight, such as the "Big Four".

Among the "four quarterbacks", only the 33-year-old Kobe Bryant is still strong, and the rest of Iverson, Maddy, Carter and others are all lost, and they who have slowly entered the end of their careers seem to be saying goodbye to the All-Star Game.

........

Just when everyone was paying attention to the All-Star Game, NBA celebrity oj suddenly broke the news when he was a guest on the show, revealing the side that people didn't know about.

The Warriors have completed a bid that has changed hands, with a bid price of up to $450 million, setting a new NBA record.

Warriors owner Chris Cohan has announced the sale of the Oakland Warriors since last summer, when Larry Elson, CEO of Oracle, a Fortune 500 company, was rumored to be the most likely to take over the Golden State Warriors.

In addition to the Warriors, the 76ers, Pistons, Hornets and other teams are trying to find new buyers.

Previously, the highest price for an NBA team was $401 million in 2004 when Robert Sarver bought the Phoenix Suns. Robert Savor spent $401 million when he bought the Phoenix Suns.

Factoring in inflation, experts still feel that the Warriors' selling price is still a bit premium.

But the business is like this, some people are willing to sell, some people are willing to buy.

Like last year, Michael Jordan bought the entire Charlotte Bobcats for $175 million, which is basically an equivalent acquisition, which is rare.

In OJ's revelations, the most surprising thing is that OJ mentions a person's name.

King Tomorrow.

Kings head coach Wang Mingming is one of the two partners who won the bid for the Warriors this time.

How can Wang become the owner of an NBA team when he is the head coach tomorrow?

But theoretically, it is possible, as long as the manager pays the price for the team.

The king will rise tomorrow?

This brings us to another investor involved in the winning bid, Peter Cooper, chairman of Mandalay Entertainment.

Cooper's Mandalay Sports & Entertainment Company, which currently owns and operates a number of minor league baseball teams, made some share swap deals with Wang Tomorrow in order to be able to make a final bid, and Wang Tomorrow traded for his 5 percent stake in Marvel.

At this time, Marvel is no longer the small company that was about to collapse two years ago, on the verge of bankruptcy, and with a lot of debts, but a thriving super sci-fi film production company that can achieve a sensational effect with every movie.

Peter, of course, was willing to make such a deal with the king tomorrow.

So Wang asked Peter to come forward tomorrow, and he was an investor in partnership with Peter, and the two jointly invested $450 million to buy the Golden State Warriors.

Just because Peter and Wang are bidding tomorrow doesn't mean they're going to be the new owners of the Warriors. Because the final agreement will not take effect until the NBA league's board of directors approves it, and until then, Cooper and Lacopo will not have the authority to make any decisions about personnel changes within the Warriors.

Wang tomorrow knows that the day of revelation will come sooner or later, and he is very calm about becoming the first head coach with an NBA team.

"Essentially, I'm still a guy who works in the NBA, and I'm trying to serve my home team, and buying the Golden State Warriors is purely a dream I've always had, of being an NBA owner, of owning an NBA team. I have an agreement with Peter, he is the owner of the Warriors, he has the right to appoint and remove personnel from the Warriors, and I continue to play for the Kings, the Warriors are just an investment for me, yes, I hope the Warriors will be better in the future, but for now, my goal is to lead the Kings and continue to create our own glory. ”

Wang tomorrow said so, but Warriors fans can't help but miss the summer, Wang tomorrow summer is also known as a head coach whose contract expires, and becoming the owner of the Warriors, won't it affect Wang's decision tomorrow at all?
