I am a nobleman in England

After signing the employment contract and having lunch together, before Myers left, Arthur said to Bob Myers: "Two days later, the league will convene a meeting with all team owners to discuss the final decision for me to become the Nets. , Go through a cutscene, then you and I will participate together, that is to say, you still have two days to form your main management team, the initial number does not need to be too large, but also to ensure that I successfully accept the Nets !"

"Good boss, no problem." At this moment, Miles, who was awarded the position of general manager with an annual salary of 3 million yuan, still had not calmed down the excitement and excitement in his heart. For him, everything that happened in the past two days was felt. Like falling in a dream, happiness really comes too suddenly!

Arthur smiled and nodded, and personally sent Miles out, looking at the back of the other person leaving, with a bright smile on his face, murmured: "Let your magic crush all doubts and ridicule!"

However, he thought that once the news was announced, he, the British earl, would definitely face the scenes of cynicism and sarcasm. He couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. It was a gamble in his eyes, but from the outside world, he was undoubtedly from Britain. Idiot nobleman.

Fortunately, Arthur didn't care, how hard he was stepped on by the media now, what a legend he will have when the Nets come up with results!

Once people get busy, time flies quickly. In these two days, in order to avoid long nights and dreams and new variables, the first thing Arthur did was to complete a deal with La Bruce, the owner of the Nets, and buy it for 230 million US dollars. Under the New Jersey Nets 80% of the shares, also includes 45% of the Barclays Center arena.

On the last day of April 2010, a harmonious and harmonious meeting was being staged in the conference room of the "Olympic Tower" building at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York.

"I have no opinion..."

"I agree."

......

"Since everyone has passed, then congratulations, Mr. Arthur Bolling, and welcome you to join the NBA family..."

On the main seat of the conference table, David Stern stood up with a gentle smile, announced the result of the vote, and enthusiastically reached out and held Arthur's hand together.

To be honest, David Stern is more important to the Arthur, the Earl of England, being able to join the NBA than the bear country tyrant. This is not only the difference in the status of the two, but more importantly, the ability to Expand the influence of the NBA in the UK.

An alliance team owned by the British can definitely open the door to the British Isles, which has been difficult to increase the influence of the alliance!

No one can ignore the home team effect. Look at Tianchao Yao to know how powerful the home team sustenance effect is!

"Thank you, thank you, the president, thank you for the league..." Arthur smiled happily and thanked him happily, and then he shook hands with the owner of each league team to thank.

Next, the NBA officially announced to the public that the acquisition of the Nets by the British billionaire Arthur Bolling has been approved.In this way, the Nets, the worst ranked team in the regular season, finally achieved a "change of dynasty."

"Crack, click, click—"

At the NBA official press conference, a well-fitted high-definition suit made his original burly figure taller. No matter how dazzling the flashes under the stage, his face has a light and elegant smile from beginning to end, and his eyes are staring brightly. Below, confident and calm.

"Thank you, thanks to the league, thanks to President Stern, and thanks to the owners of all the league teams. It is my honor to be able to join the NBA family."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Arthur began to thank the people who helped him when he entered the Nets. Although the help was just a favor, as a long-time Arthur, he knew better than anyone that if he wanted to play the NBA, he wanted to. In the United States, New York shows his talents, and he needs to lower his posture and build his personal network.

You know, it's really not that easy to really play in the NBA, and spending money may not be a championship!

"Before I bought the Nets, I heard a lot of stories about the Nets. Many things that happened to the Nets usually ended in a tragic way. No matter what expectations or expectations have been, eventually Will stay away from this team, and always feel disappointed and depressed."

"Ha ha..."

After Arthur finished speaking, whether on stage or off stage, he made a chuckle, teasing and ridicule, representing different meanings.

Arthur also shook his head and laughed, but his smile quickly disappeared, becoming serious and solemn, and said with incomparable confidence: "Now I am here, I am here with hope, with energy, and with the heart of a championship. ..."

"Kakka-"

Arthur’s powerful and confident declaration immediately made the laughter disappear. The whole audience watched him with scorching eyes, and wanted to hear what the young and energetic English earl would say. The flashlight flashed. A slice.

"Here, I want to tell the Nets management and all the fans that my goal is not to be a championship in a certain year..." Arthur raised the corner of his mouth and continued with a confident and domineering smile, "I want what I want. It is to create a dynasty. Although it does not win the championship every year, at least it is a strong contender for the championship every year."

"Kakka-"

Regarding Arthur’s bold words, the reporters present did not shock the reporters present. Instead, they all smiled and looked at the young earl with bright eyes. They were all eagerly looking forward to the energetic young earl. Witness a big somersault.

Arthur didn't care about the unkind gazes in the audience, but directly reached out to introduce Bob Myers to the side.

"... For this reason, I brought a new general manager for the Nets, Bob Myers, who has all the characteristics we picked, including professionalism, and has a good relationship with the league, players and agents. And strong communication skills."

Speaking of this, Arthur paused again and pointed his hand to another subordinate, "... He will be our team's new coach Avery Johnson's best partner. More importantly, Bob is ambitious, he Want to win, this is how I felt when we met, and it was also a major factor in his victory in the end."

"Wow—"

The audience was in an uproar.

Arthur’s previous rhetoric just made the reporters feel that they had a good show, and maybe they were looking forward to the future of the Nets, but now, everyone is looking at the stage with foolish eyes and smiling indifferently from beginning to end. The young earl.

"Rodthorne is a legend in the NBA," Arthur ignored the gazes that looked at him or the uproar at the scene, but continued, "He has made his greatest contribution to the Nets. He is A good friend of the team forever, I wish him!

The leadership qualities of the new coach Johnson, his understanding of the game and the ability to inspire all the talents of the players, will push us forward.Arthur looked around the stage next week, smiling to make a final summary. "This is the beginning of everything, and there will be many exciting things to be announced before the regular season."

"Mr. Bolin, may I ask..."

"Mr. Bolin..."

As soon as Arthur stopped, the reporters in the audience started asking questions loudly like a frying pan. The scene was chaotic, but Arthur remained unmoved from beginning to end, but smiled and his face was reddish, his eyes were unusually bright, and he looked a little excited. Bob Myers gestured and asked him to say a few words.

"...I want to thank Mr. Arthur Bolling and the Nets board of directors for giving me this opportunity. Johnson is an outstanding coach. I am very excited to join forces with such an outstanding young coach. Our main goal in the future is to cultivate. With young players, freeing up cap space, and selecting outstanding rookies, our ultimate goal is to build a team with championship strength!"

Faced with the flustered scene, Miles did not froze, but smiled confidently and talked.For Miles, his new general manager has a lot of pressure. During Thorne's tenure, the Nets have reached the Finals twice and won the Atlantic Division four times.

Then head coach Johnson himself is quite happy to be able to coach the Nets."The Nets' future is very broad, and I am very excited to be part of their future rise plan. We have to play harder, become tougher on defense, and better distribute the ball on offense. In this year's In the preseason training camp, we will lay a solid foundation for the future..."

Seeing the uproar in the audience, David Stern smiled lightly and said to Arthur beside him: "You are making a gamble."

Arthur shook his head and chuckled, confidently saying, "I like buying cheap non-performing assets and managing them well makes me feel very fulfilled. In fact, at the beginning of the acquisition, I also considered a lot. After all, I want to play NBA. This is not an easy task, but I have enough patience to wait and operate. I believe that these decisions I make now will surely bring me the best returns in the future."

"Hehe, then good luck!" David Stern smiled kindly.

"Thank you!"

The press conference was over. As Arthur had expected, there was an uproar in New York and the United States, and the British on the other side of the Atlantic carried out overwhelming reports.

"Silly English Earl with a lot of money!"

"The young aristocrat's gamble!"

"Crazy British!"

"Is it a savior or a lunatic..."

"The Nets' future is in darkness!"

......

All kinds of reports swept overwhelmingly, and Arthur was completely reduced to a fool and lunatic in the American media.

However, in these negative reports, the entry of Arthur, an ambitious young rich man, has instead injected a boost from the poor record of the New Jersey fans.The New Jersey Nets is expected to become the "Chelsea" of the NBA? You can enjoy it all, under the wise leadership of the boss, the general manager...What's the name? Forget it, whatever his name is, open the bow from left to right and prepare for a big fight.
