0411 Victory in hand
Early on the 21st, the bidding committee member led by Jiang Ruolan formally submitted a bidding application to the King's boss Maluf brothers, and applied to the NBA Council for reporting, and announced it publicly on Twitter, promising to accept all relevant verifications.
Su Yang liked and forwarded it for about five minutes, and social platforms such as Twitter, Weibo, Reddit and Hupu burst into discussions.
ESPN immediately followed up with the special report: "As of now, in addition to the Seattle consortium led by Chris Hansen and the Sacheng consortium led by Indian boss Vic Ranadave who announced the bidding in three months, there are also the Los Angeles consortium led by Su Yang.
The main funding supporter of the Seattle consortium led by Chris Hanson is Microsoft's current president Steve Ballmer.
The Sacheng Consortium led by Indian boss Vick Ranadave is the main fund supporter of Vick himself, as well as the billionaire, well-known investor, and co-owner of the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins, and Mark Mastrov, the founder of '24-hour fitness'. Vick is now the third boss of the Warriors and needs to sell all Warriors shares in advance.
The Los Angeles consortium led by Su Yang is mainly funded by MT and Morgan consortium. As the Lakers head coach, Su Yang now needs to resign from the Lakers head coach if the bid for the Kings is successful, which may affect the playoffs."
NBA No. 1 Su Chui, unemployed player Arenas reposted ESPN's Twitter: "Kang Muang! If someone else bought the King, you might have to worry about whether you can lead the King to regain glory, but if Su Yang is the boss of the Kings, I just want to congratulate all the Kings fans in the world in advance. You are not able to enter the playoffs for many years and are about to become history. Be ready to win the championship."
LeBron James tweeted: "I can't wait to see Su Yang become the boss of the Kings! He will definitely be able to lead the Kings to success. I have no doubt about his ability. The NBA should give him a green light and give him a fair and just bid for the Kings without affecting his coaching the Lakers. He helped the league end the suspension. He made the All-Star weekend more interesting. He contributed too much to this league. It is hard for me to think of a more suitable boss than him. Just make a happy decision!"
Players Union Chairman Derek Fisher tweeted: I was fortunate to work with Coach Su Yang for half a season. He has outstanding vision for gradually regional teams, cultivating players, building team culture, etc. He is still in the process of shutdown, allowing players and bosses to make progress as well. I believe many players will support Coach Su Yang to take over the Kings like me.
Kevin Durant tweeted: "I just logged in the wrong account, and now I want to express my opinion on the official account, that is, Sacramento fans are ready to welcome the championship. It takes two years to three years to see the King return to the Western Conference Finals."
Stephen Smith, a well-known ESPN commentator, tweeted: "Since I heard that MT company is estimated to exceed $5 billion, I have been looking forward to Su Yang Energy buying the New York Knicks one day in the future. Now I am a little sad. Congratulations to Sa City fans."
TNT commentator O'Neal tweeted: "@Su Yang, if you need a guy who can guide big players, please call me anytime. I just need to get a little Kings shares symbolically, and the directing can be all free..."
While the outside world was hotly discussed, the Kings boss Maluf brothers and the NBA Council formally studied the bidding plan proposed by the Suyang Consortium. Several core strategies shocked them on the spot: the initial price was 400 million US dollars, without the need to relocate the Kings, and promised to invest more than 300 million US dollars to build a brand new arena in Sacramento, and the Kings suffered losses at the end of one season.
The bid of $400 million is $60 million higher than that of the Seattle Consortium. There is no need to relocate the King, the small shareholder of Sa City, the fans of Sa City, and the mayor of Sa City are very easy to explain, and there will be no risk of moving to other places and competing for the market.
The same bid of $400 million is much higher than that of the Indian consortium owners, and the money for building a stadium is also more than that of the Indian consortium.
As for the Kings' loss status at the end of a season, it made the Lakers and Knicks and other team representatives very happy, because according to the previous new labor-management agreement, the teams that make money will subsidize the teams that don't make money. If the Kings don't lose money, it means they make more money.
Combining several strategies, Su Yang is extremely strong. He can be said to have shown his ultimate weapon as soon as he debuted, and it seems that no one can defeat him.
Considering Su Yang's achievements in leading the team in the past few seasons, at least in basketball affairs, there is no need to have any doubts about Su Yang. In terms of team operations, considering the rapid growth of MT users and the rapid increase in valuation, there is no reason to doubt.
NBA players also support Su Yang.
The only question is whether there will be a potential adverse impact if a person with a strong Chinese background is not allowed to be a boss.
After a few minutes of discussion, a dozen members of the board of directors came to the results: money doesn’t make a bastard, the Nets have Russian bosses, the Lakers have Chinese shareholders, and the Cavaliers have Chinese shareholders. In order to better explore the Chinese market, Su Yang can be brought to power.
Not only do we have to let Su Yang take the lead, but we also have to give Su Yang a green light, and wait until the Lakers playoffs are over before formally approving the transaction.
Unless the Seattle Consortium or Sacheng Consortium reissue a offer that far exceeds the Suyang Consortium, then it needs to be reconsidered.
On the other hand, the King's boss, the Maruf brothers, initially decided to sell it to Su Yang, and were also thinking about whether to give it to Chris Hanson of the Seattle Consortium and Vic of the Sashi City Consortium to quietly reveal Su Yang's offer, secretly inducing the three parties to increase the price again and make more money.
At noon, Su Yang took advantage of the silence of the discussion and posted a message on Weibo and Twitter at the same time: "Before the bidding results are released, I will perform my duties as the Lakers head coach as usual. If the bidding is successful, I will voluntarily resign from the position of Lakers head coach. If the bidding fails, I will discuss with the Bass family, but no matter what, I will help the Lakers defend the title this season."
After tweeting, Su Yang called Jim Bass, and the two happily exchanged their true thoughts without any conflict.
Jim Bass is very happy with Su Yang's potential resignation, because that will help him further control the Lakers.
Within a few minutes after hanging up the phone, Jenny Bass, one of the Lakers bosses, tweeted: "The Bass family supports Coach Su Yang's bidding very much. We fully believe in his professional ethics. No matter what the final result is, we will always be good friends."
Kobe followed up and reposted and liked Jenny Bass. Although he said nothing, he showed that he was supporting Su Yang's decision.
When Su Yang saw Kobe tweeting, he took advantage of the situation to officially notify the players, assistant coaches, trainers and scout departments in the team group chat. Everyone expressed encouragement to him. No one had any unhappy reactions. Green even secretly chatted and said that he would go to join him in the future.
After reading Green's message, Su Yang simply replied with a smiling expression, mainly not sure what the situation will be like in the future.
The timeline has undergone great changes. The Seattle Consortium and Sashi City Consortium may both increase their quotations. It is unknown whether they can successfully bid. For example, the Sashi City Consortium led by Vick Ranadave is very likely to actively propose a strategy to reduce the future share of the king.
If the King reduces the profit sharing, the bosses of other teams will spend more money. This is more secure than Su Yang's strategy of making the alliance more money, because Su Yang's strategy of opening up the Chinese market and making more money may not be realized, while the King's strategy of spending less money will definitely be realized.
In the blink of an eye, Sa City Mayor Kevin Johnson issued a statement: Warmly welcome Su Yang to join the Kings' bidding.
On the evening of the 22nd the next day, the Lakers continued to play against the Clippers away, and Su Yang received applause from Lakers fans when he appeared.
The Lakers' people's temper was not affected at all, and Clippers head coach Nigro continued to arrange for Billups to start.
As soon as the game started, the Clippers adopted a high-intensity defensive strategy and reduced the Lakers' scoring efficiency at the cost of fouls. However, Curry held the ball and attracted double teams, assisting Kobe to make 4 of 5 shots. The two also joined forces to lock the backcourt, helping the Lakers lead 23-20.
In the second quarter, relying on Su Yang's clever rotation strategy, the Lakers tied with the Clippers' substitute. When Kobe returned to the court, the Lakers regained control of the situation. At the end of the half-time game, they led the Clippers 47-39, and had more steals than the Clippers, and suppressed them in all aspects.
When the midfielder came back, the Clippers did not launch a counterattack. Paul suffered from fouls, making a total of 1 of 5 shots, 2 points and 4 assists.
After the game, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 96-82, and led 2-0 in the series, and the probability of advancing soared.
Chapter completed!
