Chapter 1198
Pera originally wanted to win over a group of team owners and forcibly keep the team in the league. This can be done because the team has only one black owner, Jordan, and all the others are white owners. He can do this of.
Of course, if Li Ba threatens the league with retirement, and the other bosses back down, at worst, he can also choose to sell the team.
But now, for a team without superstars willing to join, it certainly doesn't make sense to stay in the league, because the league is the world of superstars.
Without superstars, no one will pay attention to the team, fans will not buy tickets to enter the stadium, no ratings, no broadcasters, no sponsors, nothing, such a team, no one will give it away for nothing, because Will lose blood.
Therefore, if he does not make a decision as soon as possible, the team will completely rot in his hands.
"Give me time to think about it, I will make a decision before the start of the second round." He finally replied to Stern.
Stern sent Pera away, looking at the frustrated back of the other party, he laughed.
Like Robert Savor, he chose to side with Li Ba because of the football market.
Even if the current public opinion is not very favorable for Li Ba, but looking at the ratings in the first round, that is why he supports Li Ba.
He has spent all his life in the alliance, and he will not allow problems in this alliance.
Li Ba hit five double-doubles in a row and won the support of more basketball fans for himself.
In this era, personal self-media platforms are on the rise, and the media can no longer absolutely control public opinion.
With the support of countless basketball fans, the Grizzlies felt tremendous pressure.
On the 22nd, a well-known investment bank in the United States made the latest valuation of the Grizzlies, which is 1.5 million US dollars.
At the same time, the stock company also stated that this valuation is only temporary and will continue to be lowered.
This dealt another blow to Robert Pera.
He spent $3.5 million to acquire the Grizzlies. Coupled with the expansion of the ball market in the past few years, the last time the Grizzlies were valued at $7.8 million, and now it is less than a quarter. One hundred million is gone.
On the 24th, the G4 battle started.
In this battle, Li Ba once again exploded on both offensive and defensive ends, played his best, led the team to sweep the Grizzlies, and at the same time hit a five-double again.
He scored five doubles for the third consecutive game. While he completely nailed the Grizzlies to the background board, he also pushed his status in the basketball world to a god-like position. Countless fans openly ranked him and Jordan as the top players in basketball. god.
Even though the media has a certain purpose and the public opinion is somewhat unfavorable to him, on the Internet platform, basketball fans all over the world respect him very much.
With the end of the first round, the Grizzlies fell apart, and it was a foregone conclusion.
On the 25th, the Grizzlies held a press conference.
Jr. Colangelo formally apologized on behalf of the team, announced the formal suspension of OJ Mayo's contract, and announced that the team has entered a rebuilding period.
The Grizzlies' apology was criticized by countless people in the United States, but it also brought life to the Grizzlies.
Randolph first announced to stay on the team, and Rudy Gay then announced to stay on the team. Only Harden still chose to trade and leave the team.
As for Garnett, his contract ended and he became a free agent, and he has no plans to renew his contract with the Grizzlies.
With the Grizzlies' public apology, this matter has officially come to an end.
On the surface, Li Ba won, but in fact he did not. He became a thorn in the side of some people, and even most Chinese Americans stood against him.
But he doesn't care, and he doesn't plan to stay in the United States for a long time. His roots are on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Now he has achieved success and achieved the pinnacle of professional achievements. As long as he wants, he can drop everything and leave at any time.
On the 26th, the league officially announced the MVP winners of this season.
Li Ba won this honor for the fifth time by virtue of his crushing average per game and the Suns' second record in the Western Conference.
This honor puts him on par with Jordan, both of whom are five-time MVPs.
On the 28th, the first round of the league playoffs was finished.
In the West, the Lakers and the Suns reached the second round, and the Mavericks and Thunder reached the second round, two-two duel.
In the East, the Heat and the Magic reached the second round, and the Celtics and the Bulls reached the second round.
On May 5st, the second round started.
On April 4, the Suns arrived in Los Angeles.
Kobe and Duncan treated guests at the Xianbei restaurant.
Li Ba found that Duncan was not in a good mood, and asked with some doubts: "Tim, what's the matter with you?"
Kobe shook his head and said, "Didn't you talk about investing in a winery last time? Tim's investment advisor didn't recommend him to invest, but he still wants to invest..."
At this time, Duncan himself continued the conversation and said: "Hammer, your restaurant is very successful, your listed companies in China are also very successful, and other investments are also very successful. I think it is right to invest with you, so I have a feeling for Banksy." Some doubts. Later, I checked out a recent investment.
The advice he gave me, to borrow $600 million for an entertainment company, said the profits were good, but after my research, the entertainment company was going bankrupt, which was terrible. "
"It's actually bankrupt," Kobe complained.
"Yes, just a week ago, the company declared bankruptcy, and I lost 600 million in vain." Duncan said dejectedly.
"Is there any other investment?" Li Ba asked.
Nodding, Duncan said: "I gave Banks more than 6000 million. You know, this is half of my savings. This is very important to me, so I carefully checked all the investments he made for me. I hired a survey company Investigated the companies and the initial results were terrible, I don't have much money left, many investment projects are faulty, he lied to me about many things and gave me a lot of wrong information."
"That's really bad." Li Ba shook his head and asked, "Are you going to sue him?"
"Yes, I hope to get some money back, and then I want to send him to prison, otherwise he will entrap more people." Duncan said in frustration.
"I heard that Garnett also lost tens of millions." Kobe said on the sidelines.
"No wonder that guy's condition was not good in the first round." Li Ba complained.
Kobe said excitedly at this time: "Hammer, you wasted too much energy in the first round, it's our turn to win this time."
Li Ba immediately retorted: "That little physical fitness is not a problem for me, I can still make four or five doubles on you."
"Don't think about it!"
Kobe almost jumped up, and added: "Are you out of your mind? We are stronger in the regular season, and you still want to sweep us?"
"We are all veterans, so of course we can't give full play in the regular season." With a laugh, Li Ba joked, pointing at Duncan:
"But you are not young, look at this gentleman, his beard is all gray."
Duncan said: "Hammer, I rely on technology, not on my body, and I will still be in this state ten years later."
"Well, it's the same as me." Li Ba nodded appreciatively.
