The end of the curtain, never only means a sad farewell, more likely to be a new beginning. There is no lack of legends in sports, but what is the perfect ending for people to remember? They always choose to say goodbye, some choose to leave when they are successful, others choose to stay with them in a different way.

Houston Rockets boss Alexander for many rabbit fans can call it thunderous, Yao's five seasons with the Rockets, an average of more than 30 million people in each game watched in front of the TV. It can be said that, also from Yao, NBA has a breakthrough in the rabbit market, so that the rockets and NBA have been popularized in the rabbit country. In this regard, both NBA and rabbit fans should thank Alexander.

Andy naturally knew that the old Jew in front of him was not willing to sell his rockets. However, he had to raise large sums of money to save his investment company. Alexander's personal investment interest was mainly in real estate, sports teams and investment funds. This kind of production collocation was undoubtedly a very stable investment portfolio, but in the current real estate bubble burst. Triggered by the subprime crisis, resulting in market panic, the stock market crash, is undoubtedly the fatal ratio of toxic assets.

"Well, Andy, my $400 million offer is definitely a very cheap one." Alexander took the lead in saying that the negotiations between the two sides have been almost settled, but because of the huge price differences, it has been unable to find a proper balance point.

"Alexander, let's be direct. No one will accept this price at the moment, and I can't accept it. Since the Rockets won the championship twice, their performance has not improved. Although the presence of Yao is a revolutionary storm for the Rockets' revenue over the years.

However, Yao and McGrady were both affected by extremely serious injuries last season. Yao played only 57 games, while McGrady played only 47 games, which led to the rockets being unable to enter the playoffs.

Everyone knows that big Yao, the huge market behind the big rabbit, has also brought huge benefits to the Rockets, but his salary is not low, and my team has made an assessment. Because of the height and weight changes, big Yao has entered the period of injury frequency, and no one can be sure how long he will rest next time, which will affect the performance of the whole team... Three hundred and thirty million dollars, which is the most reasonable price given by my think tank, and also my biggest concession and sincerity. "

Andy looked at Alexander with a serious look. "I like to be direct. The new season is about to start. We don't have much time."

Although Alexander frowned tightly, he would not be led by Andy, a young man. His frowned brow stretched slowly and he shook his head and said with a smile: "Andy, everyone knows the value of Yao, plus T-Mac, the two superstars together have stimulated the team's economic surge. The team's annual revenue is about 140 million, and the Rockets' balance of payments and surpluses are still outstanding Yes, it's a big toy that can satisfy people. Four billion dollars is not expensive at all. I have made great concessions. After all, the market value last year has reached 436 million dollars. "

"Alexander, you know, the warrior team that created the black eight miracle only quoted us $270 million. Even the Clippers in Los Angeles are willing to sell. But Los Angeles, if you insist on this price, we can't continue." Andy is not moved. They are talking about intention. Both of them can repent at any time. Although Andy is worried, Alexander needs more money.

Alexander absolutely wants to sell the Rockets, which has almost become the established fact. After all, he has made a lot of preparations for the sale in the early stage. The young man who raised the purchase intention didn't want to spend too much money, and Alexander learned that the main reason why Andy chose the Houston Rockets was because Texas is the foundation of the Smith family, and more about the ball The influence of the team, not the squad.

Of course, this is the conclusion of Alexander's own analysis and his team's analysis. Before he came, Alexander had a general bottom line: "OK, you win, Andy, I'll pay another 20 million, 3. $800 million... "

"360 million, I believe that as long as you are a little bit more relaxed, it will soon be solved. Cash payment, in this period, you undoubtedly need more cash. I think it's good for you and me to sell him earlier! " If it's over this price, I'm sorry, I can only choose another target. "

At Andy's words, Alexander did not feel angry because of his interruption. Instead, he was relieved. He now knows Andy's psychological price, at least more than his set 3. 500 million price floor.

"Yes, it's good for you and me to sell him earlier, so let's do it!" Alexander's decision was rather bad. If it hadn't been for the cost of 250 million dollars a couple of years ago, if the property bubble had not been broken and the bank had not tightened up the loan, he would not have chosen to sell the Rockets. What he said now is meaningless.

Andy smiled brightly, raised his glass and touched Alexander. "It's a deal," he said

David Stern, who has been paying close attention to the two, saw the two raise their glasses and drink together, and noticed the bright smile on Andy's young face. He immediately thought of the deal, said sorry to his new friend, and then came to the two."How are you, gentlemen? Have you reached an agreement?"

With a complex smile on his face, Alexander nodded and said, "the League still needs to agree to the deal."

"Yes, Mr. stern, I'm going to trouble you next." Andy raised his glass with a happy smile and touched David Stern.

"No problem, Leslie, thank you for your contribution to the League these years. The team you run is undoubtedly successful. You not only watched the Rockets win the championship for two consecutive years, but also brought Yao to Houston, making the NBA's influence in the rabbit country a qualitative leap." David Stern nodded, looking at Alexander, who was a little more complicated.

"Thank you." Alexander could not help sighing. It seems that the president of the league is also looking forward to the young man joining in front of him, bringing more attention.

After all, the deal hasn't been finally reached, it's just a verbal agreement, and the deal hasn't been signed. David Stern can't naturally congratulate and welcome Andy in front of Alexander.

The three talked together again for a while. Since the main purpose has been achieved, Andy also needs to entertain others. I'm sorry that he left the small circle of the three and chose the Rockets, because Andy prefers to own a team by himself and turn it into a private character, which is more in line with his Andy Smith personality, rather than sharing it with others.

The shares of the warriors belong to several people. Andy needs a lot of efforts and time to complete the privatization, which is not as simple and direct as the Rockets. As for the clippers, ha ha, he doesn't want to be killed by the old bastard Stirling.

"Do you think he will go after the championship from the beginning just like you took over the Rockets?" David Stern raised his glass, took a sip, stood with Alexander, looked at Andy's back and asked.

"He is so young and has no lack of money. Ho ho, the Rockets will become the most dynamic and vigorous team in professional sports! And winning the championship is the pursuit of every league team owner, except for the rogue clown in Los Angeles. Since the League agreed to join the Celtic giants this summer, the future League will gradually become the world where the giants will win the championship, with huge luxury tax. Ha ha, this is not acceptable to me. Houston fans have been complaining about my stinginess. It's better to quit at this time. I hope he can bring the Rockets the championship. "

listen to Alexander's self mocking words. David Stern, the president of the league, naturally knows that Alexander ' What we need is to increase the viewing of NBA games and break the monopoly of Lakers and spurs.

As Preston Tisch was chatting with several other acquaintances, one of them raised his chin slightly with a smile and said to Preston in a low voice, "our host is here, Preston. It seems you can make another profit."

Preston looked back at the young and tall Andy who was coming. He shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't decided whether to sell or not."

"Ha ~ don't be kidding, Tisch. Without Wellington, the giants can't play. Look at the present situation, it's a mess. Your team is in a mess. The Mara family have no idea to take over the giants. They have long wanted to exchange it for cash. Unless you can completely turn the giants into your own, the future will be worrying. It's better to sell them at their present value 。”

Listening to his friends, Preston also smiled and shook his head. If his good friend Wellington Mara knew his children's current behavior, he would not be angry. Looking around, several friends shook hands with Andy Smith, who came to smile. He arranged his mood and shook hands with Andy.

"Mr. stitch, I don't know my proposal. How are you thinking?" Andy is not talking to Preston for the first time, so he doesn't go around, after a little greeting, he goes straight to the subject.

"You can already get 51% of the shares, and my shares do not pose a threat to you. Isn't it good for us to work together?" Said Preston with a wry smile.
