King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 237 The new boss takes office
"That's right, that's right. Although I knew He would stay in Sacramento for a long time, the feeling of hearing it with my own ears is different."

"Very good, I hope we can win the championship, and Brother Maruf is too stingy, I don't want to see any one of this Kings leave, I have never expected us to have a rich boss, in A big ball market."

"I don't want any of them to leave, but do you think even He and DeMarcus may not get the maximum salary after two years? If they are not given the maximum salary, I am too embarrassed to ask to keep them. "

"It's the first time I've ever expected our damn ticket prices to go up a bit."

Kings fans are still struggling with how to keep He Yixiang and Cousins ​​or their awesome lineup.At this time, the whole world should be discussing He Yixiang's record-setting thirteen three-pointers, the second MVP of the Rookie Challenge that made history.

ESPN's Woj has a new message: The king has changed the boss, the Maloof brothers have sold all the shares under their names to the Indian tycoon Vivek Ranadevi, and in an exclusive interview with Woj, Vivek Ranadive promised that he would never let go of any core player between He Yixiang and Cousins, and his arrival will help the team win the championship, and he will build a luxurious new stadium for the Kings, And looking for a design firm.

This kind of rhetoric stunned all the fans of the Kings. I was just complaining about their boss being too poor and not worthy of such a luxurious lineup. However, such a rich boss came right away. .

The owner, worth $50 billion, loves basketball. He once coached his daughter's middle school basketball team and led the team to the National Junior Championships.Now, he has become the new owner of the Kings, and he wants to revive this old team.

At the beginning, Vivek Ranadive was going to become the owner of the Golden State Warriors, because his company’s headquarters is located in Golden State, but the Warriors’ big boss still didn’t want to give up control of the team. He has only become the third largest shareholder of the Warriors, which is far from owning an NBA team, so he is not satisfied. He expects to get a new team in California.

The Lakers certainly don’t need to think about it. As one of the most profitable teams in the entire league, the Bass family has never thought of selling this team. As for the Clippers, their owner Sterling is looking forward to If he can become a profitable team like the Lakers, then he can make a lot of money, and naturally he has no plans to sell the team, so his only choice is the Kings.

On the surface, the king’s salary is not high, and he has achieved the first record in the league with the lowest salary in the league. With the improvement of the record, more and more king fans want to come to the scene to watch the game. They are all full, but they can imagine that to ensure the rhythm of the Kings, they will give He Yixiang and Cousins ​​a maximum salary in two years. At the same time, the contract extensions of Iguodala and West are also the same. importance.

Although the Maruf brothers can make a lot of money in the past two years, but now there is an opportunity to directly earn the money after two years, why not do it?Vivek Ranadivi spent 65 million US dollars to acquire 50% of the King's shares. Although this is not a lot for him who is worth [-] billion, it is not a lot. This is definitely a big deal for him investment, but this time his decision was made extremely quickly.

And what made him make up his mind was because he watched the game against the Bulls with the Maruf brothers in the box. The king of that game showed great strength, and he had a strong desire to win when he was behind. His team cohesion allowed Vivek Ranadive to decide the deal immediately after the game.

When He Yixiang and Cousins, who were far away in Orlando, heard the news from Su Ruoxuan, He Yixiang almost dropped the rookie challenge MVP trophy to the ground, and the team just changed owners?I'm dizzy, so will our team building plan change?For a team, replacing a coach or a player is a big deal, and replacing a boss is very likely to change the team's policy.

At the beginning, He Yixiang was still a little worried. Does the new boss think about the combination of himself and Cousins?And how much does he love basketball?All these things became his worries.

Seeing He Yixiang's wrinkled face, the joy of getting the trophy was completely diluted by this incident, so she knew what he was worried about. She smiled and said to He Yixiang: "Don't worry! The arrival of the new boss is very important to you. It’s a good thing to say! Although it may not be as fanatical as Cuban, but he is a real fan. He used to be the coach of his daughter’s middle school basketball team and brought the team to the National Youth Championship! And it is said that he watched After watching your game against the Bulls, I had a great impression of you and Cousins, so I immediately decided to buy the Kings!"

After hearing this, He Yixiang was finally relieved. He didn't care who was the owner of the team, but he wanted to continue to dedicate wonderful games to the lovely fans in the Kings, win the championship that he deserved, and then travel around the whole world Sacramento came for the championship parade.

"But you are prepared, it is said that Mr. Vivek will watch a game in person during the All-Star period. At that time, he also hopes to have a pleasant dinner with you and DeMarcus, because he is very interested in the game. Are you curious? The two second-year cores took the team to the top of the league, and he really wants to hear your stories." Su Ruoxuan indirectly dropped another blockbuster on them.

Don't look at He Yixiang who usually hates reporters, but in fact, this also means that he doesn't like to socialize. He didn't even go to the press conference of his first pair of signature shoes, and he didn't even go to the headquarters of Under Armour. He has only been there once. In his mind, if he has time to eat and drink, it is better to practice more.He suddenly had a bitter face: "Mr. Su, Manager Su, why don't you go?"

"What do you think? The big boss invited you with good intentions, but I can't explain why you won't go!" Su Ruoxuan gave him a blank look, thinking that what He Yixiang said was nothing but nonsense.
