Chapter 474
Arthur's high-profile hype really made the media in New York excited. For the media, the rich and powerful fighting each other and fighting each other across the air is undoubtedly a huge gimmick that can ensure the sales of newspapers. After all, ordinary people are very interested in this.
Especially Arthur's identity as the Earl of England and the identity of Taylor Swift's boyfriend are both news points that people are curious about, not to mention fighting with the rich people in the Bear Kingdom. The people of the United States collectively turned into melon-eating crowds and began to move small stools, which looked lively.
The Nets, which have become a super bad team, have become the focus of attention of all parties because of the saliva battle between Arthur and Rokhorov.
As Arthur expected, his mockery just came to the newspaper, Rokhorov was facing the media's provocation and boasted without restraint, saying, "I just want to build a championship team. I set a five-year deadline for myself. If the Nets don't win the championship, I won't get married."
As for Arthur's counterattack, he started smartly from his love for sports. He said that although he was not a professional athlete, he liked basketball since he was a child, so he could be said to be a hardcore basketball fan and played the people-friendly cards. He himself knew that the background of Xiong Guo was the biggest obstacle for him to join the NBA league.
All over the United States, there are naturally doubts about the people from Xiong Kingdom and Xiong Kingdom. He is very clear about this. The reason why he invested money in the United States and opened up the American market is not without the idea of beingware of certain things happening.
It's just a pity that since he knew his weakness was, Arthur would naturally not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Through David Stern, Arthur got the phone number from the owners of other teams in the NBA league.
"...Mr. Gilbert, listen to what he said. He wants to build a superstar team. His joining will completely disrupt the entire league. He will wave checks and buy superstar players everywhere. Everyone knows that the NBA league is a business. As long as the price is right, those superstars will shake and dance with the checks.
Next, many superstars will become free agents, including James of your team. Are you not worried?”
Arthur lay on the sofa, his feet on the coffee table, and a stack of newspapers on his legs. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He held his cell phone with a smile and exclaimed alarmistly at Daniel Gilbert, the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers on the other end of the phone.
Arthur knew that if you want to stop the rich people from joining the league, the most important thing is to work hard on the internal meetings of the league. If you want to convince these smart team bosses, it is meaningless to make a fuss about the rich people of the Xiong Kingdom. For businessmen, nationality is not a problem at all. What they are considering is whether the other party's joining will bring benefits to the league and whether it will threaten themselves.
Rokhorov hopes to follow his compatriot Abram's way of building a Premier League giant and playing Golden Yuan Sports is undoubtedly the most disgusting and annoying for all the NBA team owners with superstar players.
Especially the Cavaliers where the Little Emperor James is, the Raptors where Bosh is and the Heat where Wade is, are the most troublesome because these three All-Star players will immediately have free identities.
Not to mention that when you have a contract, these players cannot face youhuo with large checks. Now that they are free, it is even more conceivable that they join the Nets for money.
This is undoubtedly the thing these team bosses are most reluctant to see!
That's why Arthur first set the goal of public relations on three teams, the Cavaliers, Raptors and Heat, which had a deep pain. In fact, as Arthur thought, facing the little emperor James, who had been clamoring to strengthen and compete for the championship, but was clamoring to run away without strengthening, Dannel Gilbert was very worried and depressed.
Everyone knows that the reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers have this situation today is because the team has league superstar LeBron James. If he really jumps out of the contract, does not renew his contract with the Cavaliers, and runs away from the Nets, he will be really angry to death.
As for whether he would leave, Daniel had no doubts at all. As the Earl of England said on the other end of the phone, the alliance is a business, nothing is not sold, and loyalty can be said.
Faced with large checks and the promise of superstars to join forces, LeBron James, who is determined to win the championship, has a great chance of joining.
"Indeed, his joining will inevitably break the league's economic balance. However, the arrogant idea of using money to smash a championship team is that it has not experienced the ignorant moves of NBA culture."
Hearing Daniel's deep words, Arthur's smile became brighter and brighter. He knew that the other party had been persuaded by him and began to hate the unstable factor of the Xiong Country's rich.
"Haha, in my opinion, in the NBA, there are stars, reasonable lineups, and good results are natural. As long as you find the way to survive in the NBA and grasp the summer every year, it is not out of reach for any team to bottom out.
If you just accumulate superstars, you may be crazy for a while, but it is definitely not a long-term road. Cultivating your own leading stars and building a champion team around your own stars as the core is the king. If you think about other people's leading stars and poaching, I think that is the behavior of thieves.
I prefer to see that the team moves from low to peak in their own hands, which will make them feel fulfilled and feel infinite glory!" Arthur said earnestly.
"Yes, I agree with your point of view very much. It seems that we are a kind of person. Your Excellency Bolin, don't worry, I will stand on your side and welcome you to join the league!"
"Haha, thank you. If it's convenient, we can meet and have a good chat. You know, I have no friends in the United States..." Arthur invited with a smile and narrowed his eyes.
"Haha, of course there is no problem. This is my honor. The NBA draft in May is about to begin. See you in New York!"
"Okay, see you in New York!" Arthur hung up the phone with a brilliant smile and laughed happily.
"Haha, with the first ally, will the second one be far away?"
As he said that, Arthur continued to call the Raptors owner Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment CEO.
"Hello, I'm Arthur Bolin..."
When Arthur began to pull allies around and prevent the Bears from joining the league, the current owner of the New York City Forest Group and the New Jersey Nets La Bruce Ratner fell into great depression.
Others were happy because there were two companies competing for purchases, but he was just the opposite. When the media reported the trend was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the rich people of Xiong Country who were willing to increase the price, he was a little worried that even if he finally sold the team to Rokhorov, he would not be able to pass the league's consent. In that case, he would really cry and faint in the toilet.
Thinking of Arthur's young face with an elegant smile, Labruce shook his head with a little amused and crying. It was so difficult. Things have been going on in a few days!
Damn, even the UK has started to report on this matter, and what is even more speechless is that many British celebrities and politicians have come forward to speak, saying that they are looking forward to the NBA league with the British home team.
