NBA backer king

Chapter 393 Little Rattlesnake Boss
At 15 o'clock in the morning on the 11th, Wang Tiejun said goodbye to his family and his son who didn't know anything about it, and set off for the United States with Da Ya Er Ya and Yao Min.

At 15:11 am Western Time on the [-]th, the four landed at San Francisco International Airport.

Liu Changjiang, who is in charge of the Los Angeles branch library, is still capable. He has developed a second-level branch library, which is located in Silicon Valley, and its service targets are wealthy scientists.

This branch is in charge of Wang Zhenwu. This is a member of their Wang family. He has not released five uniforms. The nephew of the third sibling is two years older than Da Ya. He is 28 years old this year.

I have worked in the army for ten years as a platoon leader, and changed jobs last year. Since I have not served for 12 years, I cannot directly arrange civil servant work, so I chose to choose my own career and came here directly.

"Uncle Tiejun, eldest aunt, second aunt." Wang Zhenwu took a few brothers to pick him up in the car, and they called out affectionately when they met.

"Zhenwu, I will entrust the safety of the eldest aunt and the second aunt to you from now on." Old Wang immediately urged upon meeting.

"Yes."

With his heels together, Wang Zhenwu straightened his chest, and his military style was still very strong.

Lao Wang first settled Dayao in a hotel in San Francisco, let him rest here, and then went to Silicon Valley with Wang Zhenwu and his two sisters.

Stanford University is a private university, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, only twenty miles from the airport, an hour's drive at most.

Silicon Valley is a good place, and there are many rich people, so Liu Changjiang developed a branch here. This is also the fourth branch of K Martial Arts, and the first second-level branch.

To be honest, Wang Tiejun didn't put more effort into the development of K Martial Arts. He didn't understand business at all. The last time he thought about opening more branch gyms, in the end, Liu Changjiang developed this one. There was no other movement. His main thoughts were still on Fengshen Street, and the country was his root.

When I arrived at Stanford, like other universities in the United States, this research university has a strong sports atmosphere, especially the high level of rugby. In the previous Olympic Games, there have been many American gold medal athletes born at Stanford. In the United States, it is second only to the University of Southern California.

So when Lao Wang appeared here, although he attracted some attention, it was nothing more than that, because there were too many celebrities who were born here, including the president of the United States, and Stanford University's who's who of alumni was full of talents and stars.

He first rented a dormitory for Da Ya Er Ya in the school, then bought two cars, and left another 1000 million US dollars.

This is Silicon Valley, a place where Stanford University and Stanford University have achieved each other, and there are a lot of investment opportunities. He is not capable of finding those opportunities, but the two sisters are smart enough, especially the second sister has some talent for business, so he specially reserved this money to see if they can find investment opportunities.

And this is Stanford, and those who can study here are either geniuses or the children of rich people, so he has to leave some money for them, so that people don't look down on them.

Da Ya’s postgraduate majors are materials and engineering, as well as applied mathematics and physics. Er Ya’s majors are information and communication engineering, business administration, and computer science.

"Sister, you can live in the school, or in the martial arts hall. If there is anything else, let Zhenwu handle it. He has arranged more than 100 brothers under his command." He urged.

"Understood, we are here to study, not to fight." Erya said with a smile.

"One more thing, find a boyfriend early, don't be single anymore, there are a lot of Chinese here." He urged again.

"Many things." Da Ya said angrily.

"Let's go, old man, go do your work." Erya urged.

Without Wang Aiguo and Big Sister Liu by their side, these two sisters are not afraid of Wang Tiejun. Wang Tiejun has been their punching bag since they were young. Their father is very patriarchal. Once they beat and scold them, they will take revenge on Wang Tiejun.

After making arrangements for the two sisters, on the 16th, Wang Tiejun took Dayao Fei to Washington, the capital of the United States, where Georgetown University is located.

After Yao settled down, he returned to Phoenix on the 18th.

At this time, the preseason game is not over yet, but Lightning has returned, and the two made an appointment to get together the next day.

Lightning directly said not to look for other places, they are all in the K Martial Arts Hall, and he clearly wants to eat medicinal food, so Lao Wang had no choice but to agree.

The next morning, Lao Wang first went to the Suns headquarters and chatted with the old Colangelo for a while.

During the chat, the old Colangelo talked about some things in the league, saying: "Old K, I told you some news, you must not disclose it to the outside world.

Now the labor-management agreement of the league is about to expire. From this season, the two sides will start some negotiations. The 98-year offseason contract ends and a new labor-management agreement needs to be signed. According to current internal news, the league may implement a maximum salary system and a luxury tax system. "

This is because old Colangelo really treats Lao Wang as his own. Otherwise, these news are still very secret now, and he would not tell a player at all.

Among them, the maximum salary system is a tool used by team owners to limit player salaries, while the luxury tax is a tool to support small teams.

"Maximum salary? Luxury tax?"

Pharaoh doesn't quite understand, so let's just hear it.

The old Colangelo did not explain too much, and said with a smile: "In the past two years, I plan to turn part of my energy to the league and the Basketball Association, and introduce more sports in Phoenix."

Speaking of this, he said with great interest: "I am running a project to establish a
What do you think of an MLB team with a name already thought out, called the Arizona Diamondbacks? "

"That's sure to be great."

Lao Wang knows that although the NBA is developing well now, the Major League Baseball has a higher status among the four major sports leagues than the NBA, and the NBA is better than the Hockey League, ranking third.

"Old K, I have already made an investment plan. The scale is 1.3 million US dollars. Are you interested in playing? I know that you have invested a lot in China. Are you not interested in investing in the United States?" Old Colangelo said with a smile.

"$1.3 billion?"

Lao Wang was very surprised. Last time, the Philadelphia Digital Team sold for $1200 million. Baseball is so expensive?The total investment scale of his Fengshen Street K Times Sports Center is only 1.5 million US dollars.

Colangelo Sr. introduced: "Different from the Suns, the Diamondbacks will build their own stadiums and training grounds and invest more.

Old K, I will give you five points of shares, 650 million US dollars, do you want to join?Of course, if you want more, up to [-]% of the shares, the rest has already been allocated. "

"Jerry, are you the big boss?" Old Wang asked.

The old Colangelo nodded with a smile, and said sincerely: "Old K, it is very profitable to engage in sports in the United States, especially in Arizona where there is no MLB team. Don't miss the opportunity."

"OK, I want [-]%."

Old Wang had always believed in Old Colangelo, so he agreed after only thinking for a few seconds, and asked for [-]% instead of five points.

"It's a word."

Old Colangelo smiled gratifiedly.

He is not lying to old K. He is really confident in this project. If it is not for old K, others will not give this opportunity at all. Phoenix has a lot of businessmen waiting to become his partners.

After saying goodbye to Colangelo, Lao Wang went to Colangelo Jr. Colangelo Jr. did not talk about the lineup, but first talked about the head coach.

"Old K, Paul's contract has expired and he has not been signed. Do you think he needs to be kept? You have to be prepared, we may have a new coach."

Old Wang was taken aback, the new season has already started, why hasn't this matter been settled yet?
Of course he knew that Westphal's contract had expired. After four years with the Suns and two championships, Colangelo wouldn't be stingy with a big contract, right?
Seeing old K's puzzled eyes, Colangelo Jr. quickly explained: "There are other teams poaching him, and Pepperdine University, his alma mater, also wants him to return to coach the school team. The contract is said to be huge, so he has not made a decision.

I made an appointment with him, and he will reply to me within two days.Old K, if you want to stay, I can offer a bigger contract. "

Only then did Lao Wang understand that it wasn't that Colangelo didn't offer a contract here, but that Westphal had a better choice.

In general, NCAA head coaches have even better prospects than NBA coaches.

In the NBA, the star is more important than the head coach. Didn't Ewing want to force the Knicks to fire the old Nelson last time?But in the NCAA, the head coach is the boss and has higher authority. Westphal probably wants to go back to college.

"Bryan, you can decide this issue yourself." He refused to give his attitude on this matter, there is no need to intervene at all.

Little Colangelo nodded with a smile. He took over the position of general manager last year because he was too young and had no qualifications. Old K's temper and personality were very irritable and strong. He was once worried about troubles with old K, just like Jordan and Bulls general manager Klaus. Now there is no such worry.

Next, he put a lineup list in front of Old Wang, and said, "Because there is really no space, so there are a little more marginal people. Old K, take a look first."

Lao Wang nodded and took the list.

Lightning's contract last season was not big, only 290 million. This season, Lightning's contract has reached 700 million, which means that this will squeeze salary space and affect the thickness of the lineup, so he has long been mentally prepared.

Insiders: Wang Tiejun, Holt Reid Williams, Tisdale
Forwards: Rasheed Wallace, Robert Horry, Darren Hancock, Ben Davis

Guards: Kevin Johnson, Kidd, Wilkins, Kobe, Rex Chapman

"There are a total of 12 contract players. Hancock and Ben Davies are fringe people who make up the head. In addition, we will find three fringe people to make up the number. We can only give a non-guaranteed contract."

"Among these people, Williams is your first substitute. His strength is not bad. He played the main center for the Cavaliers last season. In addition, Chapman is also good. He is a shooting guard and can enrich our bench lineup."

"Old K, Wilkins and Kobe, who do you think is more suitable for starting?" Colangelo Jr. asked after introducing the situation.

Lao Wang is scratching his head, this is the job of the head coach, why do you ask me?
"Brian, if Paul quits, who do you plan to find as the head coach?"

Now it was Colangelo's turn to scratch his head. He said, "Danny Ainge, he was working as an assistant coach before retiring, and he was an assistant coach for another year. His level seems to be okay. He is now the most familiar with the team. Let him make a transition first, and I will find someone else."

Lao Wang is speechless, this season I plan to fight hard and rush, you have not even decided on the head coach?

The same goes for Westphal, if he wants to leave, he has been delayed until this time and has not been confirmed. Is this trying to delay me?
He thought about Colangelo's problem just now, thought for a while and said: "Even if Kobe arranges to start, it should only be a pseudo-starter, he can't afford the main position now.

But in fact, I don’t think it’s necessary to overthrow him. He’s still too young, his personality is a bit too confident, his body hasn’t grown up yet, and his skills are immature.

Let's start from the bench and slowly increase his playing time and ball rights. At his current age, he can't grind it out without three years or so. "

Colangelo Jr. nodded, thinking that what Old K said made sense. The expectation for Kobe should be during the second contract period. The rookie contract period should not be very useful, at least not for the first three years.

He went on to analyze: "There were a lot of transactions during the offseason, and there will be several very strong teams in the new season, which can be called the championship level.

In the East, the Bulls' lineup has not changed much, but their strength is still at the championship level.Without Ewing, the Magic should be replaced by the Pacers, which will pose a threat to the Bulls.

In addition, O'Neal's Knicks should continue to be strong. They introduced Alan Houston, John Starks entered the bench lineup, and the strength of the main and bench lineup has been strengthened. "

"Bulls, Pacers, Knicks?"

Lao Wang thought for a while, nodded, and said, "The Heat should not be weak, but they are indeed one level behind these three teams."

Colangelo Jr. nodded and continued: "In the West, the Lakers traded Divac and let Babel go. Now the whole league knows what their plan is, and it's for the No. [-] pick.

Hehe, they are really desperate. With such a big ball market, they are full of confidence. Are they not afraid of the ball market collapsing?I hope that their poor performance will not cause the alliance to lose too much interest. "

Lao Wang laughed, it seems that Colangelo Jr. has a lot of opinions on the poor performance of the Lakers.

Indeed, once the Lakers get a good sign next year, the Lakers will be the most powerful opponent of the Suns with their football market and financial resources, as well as the attraction of luxury to stars.

Colangelo Jr. added: "The Jazz introduced Campbell, and with the thickness of their lineup, the new season will be very strong.

In addition, Mosaic may not be able to do it. Although Barkley and Glider still have strength, they will not play desperately. This team has lost its competitiveness.

The Spurs didn't make any moves, not much reinforcement, and their strength has not changed from last season. They should be at the same level as Mosaic.

Old K, our main opponent in the West in the new season should only be the Jazz, which is very beneficial to us. "

Old Wang nodded. In the new season, the Eastern and Western alliances should be strong in the East and weak in the West. The collapse of the Mosaic Big Three and the poor performance of the Lakers contributed to this situation.

This situation is of course quite favorable for the Suns' regular schedule.

Little Colangelo suddenly said: "I just saw Lightning yesterday. His body is not out of shape, and he is in good shape. He said he has practiced extra. He doesn't want to waste the team's precious salary space. Haha, I am very satisfied with him and hope to retire his jersey one day."

"Kevin is really working hard. We should do well this season. The bench lineup is stronger than last season." Old Wang laughed.

"By the way, old K, my father said he wanted to draw you into the Rattlesnake project. Did he talk to you just now?" Little Colangelo asked suddenly.

Lao Wang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I just talked with Mr. Colangelo. He invited me to join the Diamondbacks Investment Group. I chose to invest [-]% of the shares. It should be a great thing to be a small owner of an MLB team."

"Yes, the Suns have performed very well in the past four years. The sports atmosphere in Phoenix and the entire state of Arizona has been very good, and the entire market has been stimulated. I believe that sports investment will have a bright future. You, old K, have a lot of credit for this. Old K, you made a good investment decision, and this is our Colangelo family's reward for you." Colangelo Jr. laughed.

The two chatted for a while, Lao Wang left, and then went directly to the martial arts hall.

As soon as he entered the martial arts gym, Wang Tieshan immediately introduced the situation of the fighting hall, and said: "Tie Jun, those boys have gone out to fight some competitions in the past few months, but they didn't win the championship. The best result is No.60 in the 3kg class of the Japanese K competition."

"Not bad, they only practiced for a year, let them continue to work hard." Wang Tiejun said happily.

After eleven o'clock, Lightning arrived, together with his family.

Lightning has four children, two boys and two girls, the oldest is 11 years old, and the youngest is only two years old. Lao Wang had already prepared five cans of medicinal food, and the children enjoyed it very much.

After lunch, the children played in the martial arts gym, accompanied by Lightning's wife. They also often come to the martial arts gym and are very familiar with it. Lightning even bought some martial arts lessons for them.

The two came to the building above the martial arts hall, found a coffee shop, sat down and chatted and spanked.

"Old K, our lineup for the new season should be pretty good. I went to a preseason game. I heard that the rookie named Rasheed Wallace performed well in the preseason game. Kidd also performed very well. Kobe also showed some good things. What do you think?" Lightning said excitedly.

"I hope, I hope their performance can meet the team's expectations. I just went to the headquarters and talked about the lineup with Brian. Our main opponent in the West this time should be the Jazz. If we can make it to the finals, the Eastern Pacers, Bulls, and Knicks are all very strong and pose a great threat to us." Lao Wang nodded and said.
