Chapter 550: The Beginning of a New History
"Squeak......
“…… Oh oh coming, coming! It's finally here!! ”
2013, when spring and summer intersect.
Sacramento, the team's center training ground.
The heavy door was pushed open.
"...... coming?"
The new owner of the Kings, Ranadivi, who has just spent a lot of money from the Ma'alouf brothers to bring the Kings into his pocket, is physically exhausted - the billionaire also has a lot of formalities to complete in order to complete the team handover, equity restructuring, mergers and acquisitions and other work - but his spirit is very agile. As soon as he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, before the team manager Petri shouted excitedly, Lanadivi had already opened his eyes and swept in the direction of the door with a rather sharp gaze.
On this day, Lanadivi completely completed all the formalities and officially became the new owner of the Kings. Although before that, he already had some ideas, which players to stay and which players to leave, he had a scale in his heart.
But the specific trading plan has not yet been released so soon. Ranadivie's idea is an idea, the actual transaction of the NBA is not as simple as playing an NBA game, just move the mouse, look at the salary gap between the two sides, and then consider the needs of the other party, can be easily reached. There are a lot of things to consider, and you have to pay attention to the details, whether the other party is willing or not does not necessarily depend only on whether your chips are tempting or not, and there are far more factors involved than imagined.
Lanadivie is a long-time fan, and has been on the Warriors' board of directors, and has been more or less involved in some team management work, so he is not an absolute novice. But it's certainly not realistic for you to make him the boss and immediately run the transaction yourself.
Rana Divi definitely needs a management team that they can trust to gradually realize their plans.
As a result, Lana Divie specifically told team manager Petri to inform several other figures who were crucial to the Kings to come to the team's central practice pitch that afternoon.
'There are very important things to confirm about the future of the team and to discuss.
That's what Lanadivi said.
So at this moment, Lanadivi, Petri, Westfaal, that is, the owner, manager, and coach of the team, the three of them arrived first.
And the next people who were named by Rana Divi to be present were several.
Among them was the man who was pushing the door in.
"Cousin! I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”
Gu Yu.
"Hmm."
In the face of Petri's warm greeting, although Gu Yu also responded with a hug, his mood was obviously not high.
After hugging, Gu Yu raised his eyes and saw that Westfal was also nodding to him, Gu Yu didn't say anything, he also nodded heavily, his right hand clenched his fist slightly, and he gently raised his arm in the air.
It's all in plain sight.
Westfair is also a teacher and friend to Gu Yu, and he still has a bit of his feeling of being a leader and a loving father on the road to the NBA. No matter what level Westfaal's real coaching level is, in Gu Yu's mind, Lao Shuai is undoubtedly one of the people he should be most grateful for.
At this moment, according to the previous rumors, Westphall is likely to leave the team, which makes it difficult for Gu Yu to accept.
It's no wonder that just losing the team's most important game and failing to go further in the playoffs already made Gu Yu's mood unstable.
And before and after the game, all kinds of rumors and news flew all over the sky, and Gu Yu also learned some not-so-good content from them.
Especially through Xiao Yu, Gu Yu got some media experts about "Where did these rumors come from?" Why is this happening at such a time? "Speculation on these issues.
According to the speculation of experts, several conditions must be met in order to release these messages at such a time.
"First, this person has to know the specifics of the message very well, even if it is not first-hand, not more than two. That is, the most likely, the news came from within the team, from a fairly high position in the management. ”
The expert relayed to Gu Yu through Xiao Yu's mouth: "Second, doing this must be of some benefit to the person who released the news. It is said that if there is no profit and it is not early, if this news has no positive significance and cannot bring benefits to some people, there is no need to appear at all. Combined with the timing of these news, if nothing else, the person who released these messages should be ......"
Recalling the expert's analysis in his mind, Gu Yu took a step forward, put the sports backpack at his feet, and stared straight ahead with his eyes, staring directly at the person in front of him.
“…… Cousin, Gu Yu, right? ”
Ranadivi raised his eyebrows, a billionaire, a successful man, a man with one of the smartest brains in the world, and his aura was really unusual.
Even though his stature was actually quite short, in the face of a tall man like Gu Yu, Lanadivi's aura was still extremely powerful, and he was not suppressed at all.
"That's right, you must be Lanadivi."
However, Gu Yu was not ambiguous, facing the new boss in the future, his eyes did not dodge at all, and he kept looking directly at Lana Divivi's thoughtful eyes, nodding slightly.
Lanadivi.
Experts told Gu Yu that the person most likely to release these news was none other than the new owner of the Kings - Vivek Lanadivie!
It's so strong......!
"Gollum ......!"
On the side, Westphaal and Petri are also the so-called upper-class people in society, and they have been successful models, and they have seen many scenes and characters. Even the president of the United States, they have all been in contact with each other to a greater or lesser extent, and there is no hypocrisy at all.
But the two men in front of them looked at each other, but there was an extremely wonderful power. Although one is a world-class rich man and the other is the strongest scorer in the active service, they are not at all people in the same field, but the eyes that only the strong can have, but they appear in the eyes of two people at the same time.
Petri swallowed, and even shivered a little under his feet.
Westfahl also sat up straight, and his previous dissatisfaction with Lanadivi and his anger at the inside situation were also suffocated back at this time, because he knew that the realm of these two people in their respective fields was historical, and they were already much stronger than their own aura and strength.
A simple glance at each other, but there was a lot of content in the eyes of both sides, and the fleeting moment, in the perception of Petri and Westphal, seemed as long as a century had passed.
Pressure!
Just by standing beside these two men, Petri and Westphaal could feel the pressure immensely strong. I don't know why, two former NBA players, who have played in the world's strongest basketball league for an unknown number of years, can't help but think of some pictures in their minds, which are enough to be recorded in the history of world basketball.
It's like Jordan meeting Barkley, Russell meeting Chamberlain, Magic meeting Big Bird Bird, James meeting Kobe.
If the guys on both sides are strong enough, so strong that others no longer dare to look at them directly, whether they are engaged in an industry field or not, they will produce a very wonderful spark.
One is a super madman who was humiliated on the first day of the draft, and dared to come forward and beat Kahn fat, completely reckless.
The other is a billionaire who dares to cross the ocean to the United States to pan for gold with a few dozen dollars in his pocket.
These two ruthless people are both wild and wolf-like, and the first time they meet is the most important time. If one of the two sides retreats a little bit from the eyes, then in the years to come, they will always be pressed hard by the other party.
But then again, it's normal for players to see their bosses and see people who pay their salaries. No matter how strong the labor unions in the United States are, no matter how equal the status of labor and management is, it is the master who pays for it, and this is still a universal truth.
But right now, in the face of Lanadivi, Gu Yu not only didn't have the slightest intention of slapping the horse, but instead gave his own murderous aura and signal with his eyes extremely toughly, as if warning this newcomer:
"This is my territory, do you hear me?......?"
can have such confidence, Gu Yu, not to mention the strength of the court, in terms of the strength of the inner spirit, I am afraid that it has reached the point of people like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan - in other words, only I don't want to stay in your team and take the initiative to ask for the possibility of trading away. Do you want to trade me and drive me away? Weigh yourself first, whether you can afford this kind of loss!
The war without gunpowder started and ended in an instant, but in the blink of an eye, the murderous aura between Gu Yu and Lanadivi had faded.
"I'm glad to finally meet you face-to-face."
The corners of Lanadivi's mouth, a smile raised, and he stretched out his hand.
"Me too, but whether I'm happy or not depends on how well you follow."
Gu Yu also stretched out his hand, the expression on his face softened a lot, and shook hands with Lanadivi.
…… Call!
Petri and Westpal both breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Yu was dissatisfied with Lanadivi, and they all thought of this, they were afraid that if they met today, with Gu Yu's fiery temper, they would come up and do it directly, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, nothing happened now, and both of them were relieved.
And Lanadivie's side, as the new owner, wants to give the team's ace players a dismissal, which is also a normal phenomenon, the boss, he has to establish his own authority, right?
And now that the eyes of both sides have met, it seems that they have received some information from each other's eyes, and they have a trace of mutual recognition. Even if they didn't understand the principle, this result was enough to make Petri and them breathe a sigh of relief.
This may be the mutual affirmation that only the strong can feel!
"My strategy is simple."
Lanadivi held Gu Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Guys who don't have the ability to become a member of the historical team, whether in ability or spirit, have to leave." ”
"Squeak", "Manager, I'm coming......"
At this time, the door of the training ground was pushed open again, and Tyrek Evans walked in, just in time to see the scene of Gu Yu and Lanadivi shaking hands, and he was stunned in an instant.
"Oh......? What a coincidence. ”
Gu Yu looked back slightly, glanced at Evans deeply, took a deep breath and said, "I, too, have this intention." ”
Atmosphere, solidification.
