got half of the team's equity, and Lin Yu called Stern that night.

"Lin, I was looking for you, thank you for everything you have done for me."

"It's all for all of us in the NBA, and you've saved most of them."

After the phone was connected, Stern thanked Lin Yu for his kindness, making Lin Yu confused.

He thought that it was the progress of the Celestial Empire TV broadcast, which was why Stern was so grateful to him.

"WELL-SAID, I LOVE THIS GAME!" Lin Yu laughed and shouted out the alliance's signature slogan.

Stern was even more moved, look at Lin Yu's realization, he really loves basketball and the NBA.

"By the way, Mr. Stern, there's something I'd like to ask you for."

"Don't call me sir, it's too outward, just call me David, you just say, as long as it's something within this alliance, I think I can help you." Stern said very heroically.

He is a king who covers the sky with one hand in this alliance, although he is only a wage earner in name, but he is a wage earner with great energy.

"I bought another 20 percent stake in the Wizards, and this just happened, so I haven't reported it to the league yet."

"What? Doesn't that mean you already own 50% of the Wizards' shares? ”

"Do you want to get the management of the Wizards and become the real talker of the Wizards?"

How could a human spirit like Stern not be able to guess Lin Yu's thoughts.

Lin Yu nodded and said: "That's right, I do have such an idea, I don't agree with Bolin's philosophy, many things are prone to conflict, and wizards want to get better development, I think it's more appropriate for me to be the talker." ”

"I agree, this guy Pollin did pick the door a little bit."

"What do you want to do? I fully cooperate with you. Stern didn't figure out what Lin Yu's plan was for a while.

After Lin Yu finished talking about the golden share, Stern laughed.

"Wonderful idea, but to ask you prodigies alone seems too aimed at Pauline."

"Well, I'll make an announcement tomorrow to find a reason why every team has a $1 stake in the league, and Pauline can't pick out the thorns, what do you think?"

Lin Yu applauded, sure enough, it had to be an old fox like Stern, and his approach was impeccable.

Each team has a $1 stake, and it's impossible for any team to refuse, because they don't have the Wizards' current bizarre stake situation, and $1 stake doesn't influence the team's decision-making at all.

Even if Pauline realized that it was a pit, he couldn't help but jump, and the other twenty-eight teams agreed.

"Lin, this matter is actually not to help you, I think the wizard is more suitable in your hands."

"It's good for the NBA."

"If there are other favors that I need to do in the future, just talk to me, don't be polite."

Stern is telling the truth, the Washington Wizards are in the hands of Pauline, and they have been losing money almost every year in the past ten years, and Lin Yu has made a little money after coaching the Wizards last season.

At the current season, judging from the current momentum, the Wizards should be able to make a lot of money, and if they can win the championship, I am afraid that the profitability can at least enter the top five in the league.

Stern is all about the big picture, he doesn't care who is the owner of the team, he only cares about whether the owner can bring revenue to the league.

Early the next morning, Stern began calling the owners of each team to inform them that the league was officially preparing to invest a dollar.

Although this is strange, there is no reason for the teams to refuse.

Stern's last call was to Paulin, who hadn't slept all night last night, and he had learned that Lin Yu had acquired another 20% of the shares.

Now he has a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and he always feels that things are going in a bad direction.

When he received Stern's call, he realized his fears had come true.

"David, we've known each other for decades, we've known each other since you were an assistant to O'Brien."

"What is your $1 stake for?" Pauline asked coldly.

"For what? For Lin Yu, of course. ”

"Abi, you also said that we have been old friends for decades, and I tell you as an old friend that Lin Yu is definitely an existence that you can't mess with!"

"If you mess with him, you're messing with me, you're messing with the bosses of the other twenty-eight teams in the league, you know what I mean?" Stern's tone was full of threats and intimidation.

Pauline is confused, you know what you mean? How could Lin Yu provoke the owners of the other twenty-eight teams? Is this human talk?

"I don't understand, Lin Yu is your illegitimate child?" Pollin was starting to lose control and yelled at Stern.

"I don't have that honor, I'll tell you if you don't understand."

"Lin can take all of us to make money and make more money, if you still don't understand, I advise you to sell the other shares in your hand to Lin Yu."

Stern hung up.

Stern attaches so much importance to Lin Yu, so naturally he has his reasons, not to mention anything else, just finalized a live broadcast between the Wizards and the Bulls, and after a few phone calls, Stern made the league's small treasury earn millions of dollars.

In the past ten years, Pauline has not earned a penny for the league, but Stern has to use the money to subsidize him every year.

……

At first, the owners of the league's teams didn't understand Stern's intention to buy shares for one dollar, and it wasn't until the league official released that Lin Yu had acquired 20% of the Wizards' shares, and they really understood that Stern was making a wedding dress for Lin Yu.

This is equivalent to saying that the Washington Wizards have completely changed the sky, and the surname of this team has changed from Pauline to Lin!

On the same day, Lin Yu received calls from many acquaintances to congratulate him, Lin Yu has not been in vain for more than half a year, there are many enemies and friends.

In the evening, Lin Yu specially invited Unselde to have a meal.

"So what will we call you in the future? Boss? Unselde laughed.

"It's not impossible to call the boss, because I'm going to give you a raise."

"How about $2.5 million a year?"

Lin Yu laughed and said that he had always felt that the salary taken by Unselde did not match his ability, and the first thing he had to do after taking the position was to give him a salary increase.

"Cheers! Kudos to my generous new boss! ”

Unselde had never received such a high annual salary in his life, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

……

In addition to raising Unseld's salary, Lin Yu re-signed the old Irving's contract, this time giving the old Irving a five-year contract of $5 million.

Then he re-signed Daben's contract, but Daben's contract was more special, Lin Yu only signed it for one year, and gave Daben 3.2 million a year, which is all the salary space of the Wizards.

If the labor and salary agreement is re-signed next year, Daben will definitely be able to get the top salary, and Lin Yu will sign a long-term contract for him, which is tantamount to harming Daben.

Lin Yu, who had just taken power, threw coins three times in a row, making Old Bolin so distressed that he vomited blood.

"What the hell do you mean? Is it because you don't pay dividends, so you deliberately spend so much money that I don't have any money to earn? Old Polin rushed to Lin Yu's office and asked loudly.

Lin Yu picked his ears and eyes, and glanced at Old Bolin with disdain, "Why do you only look at money?" ”

"And who told you that I don't take dividends, it's the small boss Lin Yu who doesn't take dividends, what does it have to do with my big boss Lin Yu, why don't I take dividends?"

"I have the right to run and manage the team, I can spend money on whoever I like, can you manage it?"

"If you're really not convinced, let's call Stern over for a shareholder meeting and vote?"

Lin Yu crossed Erlang's legs and said to Pauline with a smile.

The main reason why he opened so many contracts is that he can only get 50% of the dividends, and the other half belongs to Bolin, which means that Lin Yu only needs to spend 1.6 million US dollars to provide a 3.2 million contract for Daben.

Of course, Lin Yu didn't feel distressed, but he had to spend ......

If it weren't for the team's lack of salary space, Lin Yu would even think about giving Big Ben a 7-year $100 million contract, anyway, he might sell the Wizards' equity in a few years.

Pauline's face turned green, holding his chest and breathing heavily, Lin Yu hurriedly beckoned Unseld to send Pauline back, this old man should not be angry in his office.

……

In the next half month, the Wizards were undefeated and rewrote their winning streak to 15 consecutive wins.

This has already broken the Wizards' all-time record.

However, no one expressed surprise, because everyone knew that the embarrassing record of the wizards would have to be broken by Lin Yu one by one sooner or later.

The Wizards have now become a towering tree, and many fans even believe that the Wizards have every chance of breaking the Bulls' record of 72 wins in a single season.

Nash and Xiaoao, who were not very optimistic, were regarded as failures in Lin Yu's trading operations, because the performance of these two people has not been strong enough.

However, in the past half a month, the growth of these two people has been clearly felt.

Nash is good to say that he is a point guard, and even if he grows, he is not as intuitive as an interior player like Xiao Ao.

When Xiao Ao first arrived at the Wizards, he couldn't do anything, he didn't have anything left, he couldn't defend under the basket, he could only defend against those weak chickens at the No. 4 position, and when he encountered a slightly stronger power forward, he couldn't prevent it at all.

At present, Xiao Ao's defense is already impressive, and he can even give Webb a little threat during the usual team training games.

In addition, under the guidance of Lin Yu, the offensive end gradually began to take the back play and retreat as his main offensive method, and the offensive end gradually stabilized.

The rebounding strength has also improved rapidly.

Even Lin Yu was a little surprised, originally he thought that Xiao Ao would have to take at least two months to gradually enter the peak period with the blessing of "The Golden Five Heroes", but now it seems that this time will be shortened, and it may be about the same in a month.

On December 24th, it was the Christmas War, and the Washington Wizards were honored to be the protagonist of this year's Christmas War.

And the opponent is naturally the Chicago Bulls.

Less than halfway through the season, the Wizards have faced the Bulls for the third time.
