Early on the 25th, Su Yang got up and ran, turned on the TV and saw the news that the Seattle Consortium and Sacheng Consortium increased their investments.

The core idea of ​​the two consortiums is very clear, which is to give more money to other teams, one to give cash and the other to reduce the share.

"It seems that the Seattle Consortium still hasn't figured out their current predicament, or thinks it's so awesome that it can change the decisions of other bosses, but $4 million is too little for other bosses, and the 75 million price increase is only a little more than us..."

Su Yang is not worried about the Seattle consortium's increase, because since the Kings sought to build a new stadium in 2006, a lot of things have happened in seven years, and Sa City Hall and the NBA Council will never allow the King to be moved away.

Time went back to 10 years. After the efforts of the NBA led by Stern, the Kings, Sa City Hall and the California Convention and Exhibition Center officially started a discussion, hoping to reach a land exchange agreement, help the Kings build a new stadium in the downtown area, and build a new stadium at the Kings' original home court, Arco Stadium (Sleep Train Stadium). At the same time, the real estate and retail industries were developed at the original California Convention and Exhibition Center, but the negotiations were not reached in the end, and the Kings' plan for the new stadium was blocked.

In four years, the stadium had been built in China, but the Kings only got a three-party exchange opportunity.

Still failed!

Then the Kings boss Marouf brothers began to try to move the stadium to Anaheim near Los Angeles, and for this, they also received a $70 million loan from local wealthy businessman Henry Samuel, but the Lakers and the Clippers opposed it together.

The Lakers signed a 20-year, $3 billion local broadcast contract with Time Warner at that time. If the Kings joined, the benefits of the contract would be greatly reduced. The Clippers regarded Anaheim as their potential home court, so naturally they did not want the King to occupy it in advance.

To put it bluntly, it is a dispute over interests. Many NBA bosses and other professional sports bosses want to monopolize the market.

The farce lasted until February 2012, and finally reached an agreement to build a new stadium. However, in April, the Maluf brothers were reluctant to fulfill the agreement because the agreement required them to pay more money. Sashi-city citizens opposed using taxpayers' money to build a new stadium.

Immediately afterwards, the Seattle consortium led by Chris Hanson intervened and began to acquire the Kings, which was quite strong.

There are rumors that those in Saskatchewan who oppose municipal funding to build a new stadium have received private funding from the Seattle Consortium.

On the day when the Kings' 11-12 regular season ended, many fans cried with their heads in their arms, worried that they would not be able to continue to see the Kings next season, but many of them opposed the City Hall paying for the construction of a new stadium. Anyway, they had the feelings, but were unwilling to spend money.

The Maluf brothers were so angry that even though they knew that the relocation was extremely difficult, they still bit the bullet and wanted to sell the team to the Seattle Consortium.

Khasa City Mayor Johnson jumped out again and grabbed Indian boss Vic to form a new consortium and prepared to bid for the Kings to retain the team.

After all, after all the twists and turns, because Thunder boss Clayton was untrustworthy (promising that he would not move the Supersonics, but after a season, he moved to Oklahoma, spending 30 million dollars more), most NBA bosses did not believe that the Seattle consortium would keep the team in Seattle for a long time. There are too many professional teams in Seattle, and it is more difficult to make a lot of money.

"As for the reduction of the share of Sacheng Consortium, it is a simple expectation issue. The bosses may have a deviation in mathematics, but their assistants will understand that compared with the reduction of the share, the potential risk-taking benefits will be much higher, and it should not be too difficult to choose..."

If you get $2 million in stability, and a 50% chance of getting $10 million, many bosses will choose the latter.

The expected revenue in the NBA in the next two to three seasons will not increase significantly. Even if the Kings reduce their share, they will not let other bosses get too much profit. Su Yang is sure that the bosses of the other 29 teams will like him more to quickly reverse the King's losses and open up the Chinese market. Even if they just build the Kings into a strong team, their away ticket sales revenue will be very stable.

After making up his mind, Su Yang no longer cared about Seattle and Sacheng Consortium's increase in investment, and went straight to the Lakers' training base after breakfast.

When he arrived at the office, Mike Brown was reading the newspaper. When he saw him entering the door, he smiled and said, "Just just saw an interesting news..."

"Oh? Let me see..."

Su Yang took the newspaper casually and immediately saw the California Daily report on the headlines of Indian consortium owner Vic Ranadave, who obviously wanted to create a character for Vic and gain more support from fans. The first story actually guided An Jiali to win the championship.

An Jiali is the third daughter of Vick Ranadave and his ex-wife. She is very beautiful and suitable for promotion. The story is roughly that Vick Ranadave serves as the coach of An Jiali's team and helps the team win the championship through tight defense throughout the game.

Mike Brown laughed: "They want to prove that Vick is very good at football, but you are the head coach of the NBA three consecutive championships..."

Su Yang also laughed out loud, and couldn't help but recall his previous life. After Vic Ranadave became the Kings' boss, he was dissatisfied with the team's offensive and defensive tactics. He once proposed to let four players defend the frontcourt and one player stayed in the backcourt to wait for the fast break, which became a big joke in the NBA at that time.

That kind of tactic is not completely ineffective, it is just too outdated. I used to play like that in the early days of the NBA because the offensive efficiency of positional battles was very low at that time. Four defenses and five defenses in the frontcourt and one fast attack in the backcourt was a common strategy, but that tactic was quickly eliminated.

In short, low-level games, that kind of tactic is very useful, but the NBA level is too high, which is almost equivalent to giving away points for free.

I chatted for a few more years and it was a pity to talk about Westbrook's season reimbursement. It would be a pity to meet the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals.

At nine o'clock in the blink of an eye, Kobe and others arrived one after another. Su Yang emphasized that the defensive strategy should try to make Paul play more in the first half.

The training was carried out as usual. At 7 pm, the Lakers and Clippers started the third game of the first round of the playoffs at Staples Center.

Clippers head coach Nigro is quite tough. Knowing that Billups performed poorly in the first two games, he still arranged for his start.

It is estimated that in Negro's eyes, it doesn't matter whether he wins or not. What is important is to make big-name players happy and get support from big-name players.

The Lakers started playing normally, and according to Su Yang's arrangement, Paul forced him to play more. In the first quarter, Paul made 2 of 5 shots and scored 10 points with 6 free throws. However, the Lakers themselves were in many places, and the team scored a total of 26 points, leaving the Clippers only 2 points behind the Clippers in the first quarter.

Su Yang also continued to use Curry and Green to get off the court early to facilitate the strategy of dealing with the Clippers' substitute impact in the second quarter. However, after suffering losses in two games, Clippers head coach Nigro did not improve any improvement. He continued to rely on Paul to score in the second quarter.

After the half, Paul made 6 of 11 shots, scored 21 points with free throws, and had 3 assists, with 0 turnovers.

If he wanted to explode, the Lakers led the Clippers 54 to 48, and except for one less rebound, they all crushed them.

After returning from halftime, the third quarter turned into a defensive battle. The two teams shot wildly, and the Lakers only scored 2 more points than the Clippers.

But as the game entered the fourth quarter, all the Lakers were full of energy and continued to play in a team-like manner under Kobe's leadership. Paul lacked physical strength and could not continue to drive the entire Clippers team efficiently, so it was useless for the referee to crazily swear the Lakers' fouls, and the score difference never narrowed.

After the game, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 104-93, Paul scored 35 points and 4 assists, and the Lakers scored in double digits.

The three-to-zero lead made the Lakers and Clippers' first round result no longer suspense. Fans felt sorry for Paul's efforts to do nothing. Griffin averaged only 13.2 points per game in three games, which was completely different from the White Warcraft who dunked the sky in the regular season.

After Su Yang finished the press conference, he returned to the apartment and received a call from the Maruf brothers. He learned that as long as the NBA Council denies the Seattle consortium's plan to relocate the Kings in a few days, he can reach a deal with him in a legitimate way and wait for the league to approve it.
Chapter completed!
