"What about the Rockets' coaching staff?"

"Myers has already talked."

After the meeting, Andy casually asked Granada about to leave, heard the answer, and nodded. Andy favored the tall, burly and handsome Bob Myers.

When Granada arranged to set up an interview for the establishment of a sports investment company, there were also several candidates with rich team management experience, but this plug-in of Andy naturally saw the Warriors from these people at a glance. Bob Myers, the best general manager of the smashing team to become the championship, the interview of the star of the agent circle of 19 players became a cut scene. He is now the director of the basketball department of Andy Sports. And also the general manager of the future team that Andy prepares.

Oakland, California.

The Golden State Warriors head coach Don Nelson looked at the young agent Bob Myers, who had played a few times in front of him, a mad scientist who has invented the shark tactics. An hour of analysis and persuasion by Miles chattered in front of him was unsettled.

Last year's Black Eight miracle was won by the entire Warriors team with one breath, and sighed. This group of people is the best in the playoffs. Expect them to win the championship, that's basically It's almost like dreaming.

For 67-year-old Nelson, the most extravagant hope is undoubtedly to be able to get a championship, holding a ring that has never been obtained, and he can completely retire.

"Coach, believe me, Mr. Smith is not the Cohen of the Warriors. He is younger and more motivated. He only has the championship in his eyes, and the Warriors’ poor performance and severe financial losses cannot create a team you want. Of the championship team.

The Rockets now have the best big man in the league and superstar McGrady. As long as you take over this team, if you want anyone in the league, as long as you can win the championship, Mr. Smith will not be a knife. For you tactical master, the use of any player is a piece of cake, isn't it? "

"Championship ..." There was a flash of light in Nelson's eyes. After the Black Eight miracle, he has not yet chosen to renew his contract with the Warriors, hoping to put some pressure on the management and bring him some players he needs. , To strengthen the team, now it seems that there may be a better choice.

"I need time to think about it, so sorry Myers, I can't give you an answer right now."

Hearing Nelson's answer, Myers took a sigh of relief, knowing that the crazy scientist was tempted, and finally said with a smile: "Mr. Smith wants the championship, he doesn't mind spending more money, he once joked that However, the best teams start with All-Stars. Let me talk to you before you come. The All-Star lineup requires you to be an old, prestigious coach to push the line.

When Nelson heard this, he shook his head and laughed, but he was even more enthusiastic about being the Rockets head coach. Perhaps this is the journey most likely to win the championship before he retires.

Thinking of the Asian giant that has grown up and can't help it, and McGrady at 35 seconds and 13 minutes highlight time, come back to the previous one, two All-Star players, deep bench lineup, oh my god, the picture is too beautiful, now the giant holds the group The trend is that nba is becoming more and more popular. Old Nielsen naturally knows that this kind of team is the best way to win the championship. With his own flexible tactics, it is really close at hand.

Manhattan, New York.

Andy took Al and Granada into a high-end western restaurant, and the paparazzi who followed them began to relax. The temperature at noon was still a bit high, and they were preparing to return to the car to eat something. Rest awhile.

However, at this moment, another luxury Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road. The paparazzi looked at the door with a little curiosity. The people who came down, some of them recognized the person, hurriedly raised the camera to start taking pictures, and kept walking around. Go up.

"Mr. Stern, are you making an appointment with Andy Smith?"

"Mr. Stern, has the Rockets deal reached its final stage?"

"Will you agree with Andy joining the league?"

. . . . . .

David Stern looked at the reporters around him, a little surprised, but also quickly relieved that these paparazzi should all follow Andy Smith, after all, the young man is the darling of various media chasing chase.

Under the assistant's way, David Stern with a smirk on his face didn't answer the reporters' questions, and quickly walked into the restaurant.

For young people who are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a team to join the league, this kind of thing is rare. How can David Stern prevent it, especially people like Andy Smith who can bring more to the league? s concern.

The atmosphere of the lunch was very relaxed and harmonious, tasting the food, complimenting each other, talking about various interesting things, and Andy's humor also played a lot of roles. And he also learned a lot of nba's team management experience during the conversation with David Stern, which is undoubtedly helpful.

"We will complete the transaction this week. I hope the alliance can accept my joining!" Andy with a slight smile on his face, picked up a white napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth. Everyone has already eaten almost, and they are beginning to meet the old people on the opposite side. Talking about business.

"Of course! Our alliance is a big family. Of course you are welcome to join this outstanding young man. I believe you will bring new vitality to the alliance. Right, are you only 23 years old this year, wow, you will be in the alliance. The youngest boss, this will leave me a new record. "Big Westen's old face was full of happy smiles.

"I'm optimistic about you, Andy, you know that the Rockets have helped the league open a huge market since Dayao. Alexander has done a good job before, Houston is also a good place, the economy is developed, the fans are enthusiastic, and the current The lineup is also very good, and entering the playoffs is not a problem. "

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Stern." Andy got the answer he wanted, and accepted the compliment of the old man David, but said half-jokingly and seriously: "I came with ambition, The championship is my pursuit. Impacting the championship, the All-Star lineup may make the league's influence in the rabbit country greater than it is now. After all, because of the relationship between Dayao, the fans of the rabbit country have made the Rockets their own home team. . "

"Oh ... it would be a good idea, but, Andy, you need to be prepared with enough beautiful swords, the All-Star lineup will bring a luxury tax." David Stern could not help hearing Andy's ambition His eyes brightened and he smiled.

In this regard, Andy is very clear. Like the giant plan he wants to carry out, he may have to pay a lot of luxury taxes every year. The handsome face has a more charming smile, and he shrugged and said easily: "For beauty None of the problems the knife solves is a problem. I have no concept of money. After all, for me, making money is easier and better. "

The words of domineering side leaks say that everyone at the scene could not help but mask the bitter smile in their hearts with smiles. This young man is really confident, okay, it is also true. It is indeed one thing to accumulate 10 billion US dollars in cash a year. An incredible miracle. This speed of making money, Andy is indeed qualified to be so domineering.

David Stern shook his head and smiled bitterly. When it came to such a young man who didn't have bad money and didn't take money seriously, it seemed that the pattern of the alliance was about to change. The Green Army Celtic's old big three became the army. Maybe this year will be their only chance to impact the championship.

"The league won't stop future Rockets from forming an All-Star lineup deal, right?"

With a slight smile on David Stern's face, he groaned and said, "Of course, the league will respect every heart that wants to win a championship."

As the president of NBA, he has made NBA a leader in successful business alliances. He has already seen too many team bosses who rushed into the league with checks. There are successes and failures. In any case, this It will not have much impact on the alliance, but it is the birth of a new dynasty. No one can keep it forever. To put it bluntly, nba is a business alliance, making money is still very important.
