NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

The Houston Rockets finally started to get on the right track. The Rockets, who won two consecutive games, also received some recognition in the eyes of the media.

The next day, Tang Yu was in the office watching the fans' opinions on the Rockets' winning streak. As long as the team won, there would still be some praise.

Just as Tang Yu was watching with relish, Max knocked on the door.

"Boss, the sports investment group of Morris has the latest development. They seem to have persuaded the owner of the Miami Heat to sell the team!"

"What? The owner of the Heat, Mickey Harrison wants to sell the team? Damn, this is really not good news!"

The sale of NBA teams needs to be approved by the council composed of the owners of other teams before the team can be sold, but not everyone needs to agree.

22 of the other 29 owners agree to put it on the shelf, which gives Tang Yu a glimmer of opportunity. He needs to persuade at least 7 people who disagree with Harrison selling the team.

It would be better if Harrison could be persuaded directly.

Pick up the phone and call Sam Hinkie, "Sam, I need Mr. Harrison's phone number, yes, the Heat's owner Mickey Harrison's phone number."

Tang Yu decided to persuade the Heat's owner not to let him sell the team. Tang Yu could let Morris buy the team, but he was not allowed to buy a team with such strong combat effectiveness.

Heat's Parker Riley and Spoelstra are both among the best in the league in the same position, which is what Tang Yu didn't want to see.

After dialing Mickey Harrison's phone, a deep and powerful voice came from the other side soon, "Hello, I'm Harrison."

Tang Yu introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Harrison, I'm Tang Yu, the owner of the Houston Rockets."

"Oh? What do you want to talk to me about? If it's a transfer issue, you can contact Parker." Harrison was very confused why Tang Yu called him.

"I'm not talking to you about the transfer. I heard that you want to sell the team to a sports investment group?"

Harrison was very surprised. Now the two sides are just a tentative contact, and he didn't expect Tang Yu to get the news.

"Haha, I didn't expect Boss Tang to be so well-informed. What's your opinion on this matter?"

"It's not a good opinion. Mr. Harrison only spent about 32.5 million to obtain the operating rights of the Heat, and now the value has increased by who knows how many times. Let me guess the offer from the other side, 1 billion dollars? 2 billion dollars? I think the value of the Heat, which just won the championship, will not be lower than that of the Rockets..."

There was silence over there. Morris's Sports Investment Group's first round offer was 800 million dollars. According to the price the Rockets just sold, this is obviously a very low price.

Seeing Harrison didn't say anything, Tang Yu said again: "If I tell you that the value of the Heat will reach 3 billion dollars in five to ten years, or even more, what will you choose?"

"Is this why you spent 2 billion to buy the Rockets? Why did you tell me this? Why should I believe you? What is the reason why you stopped me from selling the team?"

They are all team owners, so Harrison naturally won't easily believe Tang Yu's words. If you say it will double, it will double. If you say it's worth 3 billion, it's 3 billion?

"No, I really like basketball. Of course, you can choose not to believe me, but you can believe the data."

Tang Yu felt that Harrison did not believe in him very much. As a businessman, profit comes first, so Tang Yu could only throw him some more temptations.

"Mr. Harrison, if you choose not to sell the team, I can invest in your Carnival Company in exchange. What do you think?"

Harrison then realized that Tang Yu did not want Morris to enter the NBA.

"Haha, Boss Tang is trying to stop me from selling the team because he doesn't want Mr. Morris to enter the NBA. Then tell me about your plan."

Harrison also understood that if more than 8 people in the league disagreed with him selling the team, then it would be nonsense for him to reach an agreement with Morris.

Tang Yu would definitely lobby other bosses, so why not take advantage of this and see how Tang Yu's plan works.

"Your company's market value is about 4 billion. I can invest 2 billion, but I only want 20% of the shares. What do you think? With this money, you can do a big job, and I will never participate in your company's decision-making."

Tang Yu doesn't care about this little money, but he can't give it away for free, which will make the other party more wary of him. It is reasonable to ask for some shares appropriately.

After a short silence, Harrison said: "This is an offer that people can't refuse. Welcome to join Mr. Tang! Can I ask if you want to invest all at once or in batches?"

"Haha, this little money is of course a one-time investment. I will immediately ask someone toStart setting up an investment company, and they will find you soon. Let's have a pleasant cooperation. "

After hanging up the phone, Max in the room was very shocked. His boss gave away 2 billion with a wave of his hand without even blinking.

"Okay Max, put away your shocked expression and find a headhunting company. You know what to do!"

"Okay boss, do you have any other instructions?"

"Keep paying attention to Morris's movements and see which team he wants to acquire. "

Max nodded and left Tang Yu's office. Tang Yu was in a very good mood for preventing Morris from acquiring the Heat. Fortunately, he came to this world first, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Tang Yu's sniper battle was also proved in the future. This Morris is a very difficult opponent. Fortunately, he didn't let him get the Heat, otherwise it would be a huge impact on Tang Yu.

A day later, the Houston Rockets visited Sacramento to challenge the Kings. The Kings are a rebuilding team. This season, they are still the bottom of the lottery.

This is a game at 4 pm, and the players have not yet reached the best excitement.

In the King's ARCO Arena, Tang Yu felt that this modern arena was very beautiful. This arena is now the most valuable arena in the entire NBA.

But his team has been in the lottery for many years, and Webber, Divac and Peja's wave of players have become their last glory!

Facing the ridicule of Kings coach Kenny Nutt before the game, he said in an interview that the Rockets under Tang Yu's rule are one of the worst teams in the league, and selling the team is Tang Yu's Yu's only choice.

Tang Yu just smiled after hearing this remark, and let the clown jump around by himself.

Tang Yu did not choose to shake hands with the arrogant coach before the game, he just told the players that he needed a big win.

After the game started, the Rockets' starting five immediately gave the home team a head start. Harden's performance after the opening was exceptional. He kept breaking through and scoring layups, and also assisted his teammates many times. The Rockets quickly established a leading advantage.

The Kings players obviously did not expect this situation. They Began to panic.

In the first two quarters of the game, Harden had his way with fellow rookie Evans, and his brilliant performance helped the Rockets pull the score to 23 points.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Kings 127-101, and Tang Yu responded to Nat's ridicule with practical actions.

This victory greatly boosted the confidence of the Rockets players, and they were more convinced that under Tang Yu's leadership, the team could achieve better results.

After the game, Tang Yu only said one sentence to the media, "Now do you know who is more trash?"

Tang Yu slapped the Kings coach in the face with his strength.
