The main reason is that things happened too suddenly and the deal was concluded too quickly.

800 million, it was paid as soon as it was said. Under normal circumstances, it would be normal for such a big deal to take a year and a half to negotiate.

Therefore, when NBA officials and the Knicks jointly held a press conference, everyone present looked puzzled. Not long after they signed broadcast contracts with New Century and Fox, what's the big news?

David Stern attached great importance to the change of ownership of the Knicks, so he personally presided over this meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have news to tell you. Just now, the alliance headquarters approved a transaction."

"Mr. Dolan transferred the ownership of the New York Knicks to Mr. Sean Rockefeller. Here, we are very grateful to the Dolan family for their hard work on the Knicks. We also welcome Mr. Sean to join the NBA family.

.”

Wow. The scene exploded instantly!

The Dolan family does have a reputation in New York, but that's all. There are many awesome and wealthy families in New York, and the Dolan family is not ranked high.

But, Sean is different!

Even if you don't mention Rockefeller, Sean alone is famous in the United States. Who doesn't know that the Umbrella private military contractors traveled around the world, bombed YIL, defeated the Malay government forces, defeated the Moroccan government forces, and made the United States famous.

I just want to talk about how many people Umbrella has killed and how many major cases it has committed in the United States over the years.

Uh. After thinking about it, it seems like it’s all about murder.

Therefore, many reporters present had strange expressions on their faces. They (this chapter is not over yet!)

Chapter 441: The true value of the Knicks

I really want to know how the players from other NBA teams are feeling right now?

Will you feel any pressure when you play against the Knicks again?

Anyway, I don’t know if the players of other teams were under any pressure. The Knicks players were asked to watch TV together, and they were all dumbfounded at this moment.

No, the boss is changing now? Is it so sudden?

Sean

"Ewing, do you know, uh, our new boss?" Mark Jackson looked at the 70-year-old man next to him with a sad look on his face...

"Of course I understand, the Peace Hotel is great, and he is also the owner there, so maybe we can get a discount when we go to the Peace Hotel in the future!" Ewing said with a wry smile.

The Gold Club became famous back then because Ewing helped promote it.

Pure old sex batch!

"You know, that's not what I'm talking about!" Mark Jackson spread his hands.

"Otherwise, what do you want me to say?" Ewing turned his big lips and said angrily: "In the future, during training, there will be more than a dozen soldiers with protective umbrellas holding guns on the sidelines. Who the hell?

Just shoot him in the butt because he's lazy in training?"

"No way!!" There was a scream in the locker room.

Coach Rick Pitino also frowned and looked at it. He also didn't know about the team's change of boss before. The new boss is so young. I heard that he has an explosive temper, is ruthless, and kills without blinking an eye. This...

If the boss interferes with team training or tactics in the future, should I agree to it?

I don’t agree. The boss won’t throw me into the sea to feed the sharks, right?

In addition, what should I do if my grades are not good?

Will he be beaten?

Regarding this matter, let alone the players, he, the head coach, has no confidence either.

Fortunately, the team manager was promised that Sean would not fire him, at least not this year.

In the TV room, at the press conference, after a burst of noise, reporters started asking, "Mr. Stern, how much is the price of this transaction?"

"Let both parties answer this question themselves." Stern waved with a smile, and Sean and Dolan Lao walked up to the podium with a smile.

The two signed autographs in front of everyone, exchanged words with each other, and finally shook hands for everyone to take photos. In the end, Sean gave in and gave the opportunity to the limelight to old Dolan.

"We can be sure that Mr. Sean is a sports fan. He likes the NBA and the Knicks very much. He is a die-hard fan of the Knicks. For the Knicks, Mr. Sean is willing to pay everything. The price of this transaction is

$800 million!”

800 million!!

As soon as the price came out, everyone at the scene, including the audience in front of the TV, exploded!

It is foreseeable that this matter will be the front page headline tomorrow, "NBA shocking deal, Knicks worth 800 million US dollars!"

"Rockefeller is optimistic about the prospects of the NBA, and the market value of NBA teams will see a blowout"

The market value mentioned before was all false. Real money is the last word.

Of course, more people think Sean is crazy. Is it possible to spend so much money to buy the Knicks without losing money?

800 million, not 80 million!

It's not enough. At this moment, everyone is convinced that Sean must have true love for basketball and the Knicks!

If it weren’t for true love, you wouldn’t spend so much money.

In addition, old Dolan is making a lot of money!

In fact, other team owners envied old Dolan so much that they wished they could take out the money. If you don’t need 800 million or 80 million, I’ll sell it to you!

After the noisy press conference ended, Sean finally calmed down. He didn't need to worry about the publicity matters, New Century would take care of them.

Sean Banks will also immediately release information that the American Sports League has acquired 100% of the equity of the Knicks team.

And Sean is already in Madison Square Garden now. He wants to take a good look at this big toy that cost 800 million to buy...

There was a game in the evening, and everyone from the team was there. When I heard that the boss was coming, the team general manager took him with him to the underground parking lot to greet him.

Sean got off the car and saw the gorilla at a glance. What a great guy, you can’t tell from a distance, but up close, he looks really tall and strong. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 441: The true value of the Knicks

Torre, who is two meters tall, is still strong!

The 13-member team, including the coaching staff and the management team, all arrived and stood neatly in two rows.

As soon as they saw Sean getting out of the car, they immediately shouted at the same time: "Welcome, boss!"

Everyone has a smile on their face and their attitude is particularly correct.

Sean glanced at Old Dolan next to him. Before he came, Old Dolan told him that the team's atmosphere was iron-blooded and these players were also very unruly. Now it seemed that was obviously not the case.

The attitude is modest and polite, which is great!

The corner of Old Dolan's mouth twitched, and his eyes swept over the management and players. When I came here before, you were not like this!

He also said that players are training and cannot be disturbed. I want to go to the training hall to meet the players. When the players see him, they just smile and say hello.

Especially that nigger who looks like a gorilla, he is the most arrogant!

Where is your unruliness?

Everyone has become a doorman, right?

Ewing: If you go out with 15 bodyguards armed with live ammunition, we will have a correct attitude!

Yes, the parking lot is now under martial law. There are fifteen bodyguards armed with live ammunition and full of murderous intent. I don’t know why, but when I see them, my mood suddenly becomes peaceful!

Of course Old Dolan knew why, but that's why he was angry. Doesn't this mean he is weak?

Even if you express your deference to the new boss, you can't change it for another time.

Management: Can't change, first impression is very important.

Sean smiled and walked up to Ewing who was standing in the first row of the players. He aimed his hand at Ewing's chest and punched him a few times, "You are the gorilla!"

Ewing grinned widely and hit his chest with his hand without any care, just like a gorilla.

Old Dolan lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows, looking blankly. Where is his moral integrity? Where is his arrogance?

Sean smiled and shook hands with the gorilla. The hand was really big. Then came Mark Jackson. Sean looked down at the guy's butt. It was really big.

When he arrived at Charles Oakley in Old Oak, Sean also punched this guy, "I heard you are a good fighter?"

"Hehe, hehe." The old oak man was confused and could only laugh.

"Do you know about the boxing match underground at the Peace Hotel?"

The old oak nodded.

"You are still too immature when it comes to fighting. I will arrange for someone to train you during the offseason!" Sean said with a smile.

The coach next to him, Rick Pitino, really wants to hold Sean back. If he doesn't teach him, he is already a famous villain on the court. Are you trying to kill someone?

However, considering safety issues, Rick Pitino chose to keep his mouth shut.

After chatting for a while, Sean and a group of people came to the arena. He was still curious about how to train, so he chose to sit on the sidelines and chat with the management while watching the players train.

When Sean is in a public place, it is normal for several bodyguards to follow him, right?

So, when he started training, Ewing slapped himself hard, what a foul mouth!…

What are you talking about? There are actually soldiers with guns standing on the sidelines watching the training?
