Chapter 1051 Target From Xiao Hua

"Which team is taking the lead?"

Yang Cheng asked coldly.

Sean Marx shook his head, "I don't know, boss, this news is a bit speculative, there is no actual evidence, and no clear signs have been received, but Lenovo's recent transactions have been rejected one after another, I think this is not easy , maybe the news is true, so I can't hide it from you and tell the boss."

Yang Cheng raised his hand, too lazy to listen to these nonsense, "There are 30 NBA teams, and there are only a few that are capable of organizing a joint offensive. If you check them out for me, I don't believe you can't find them."

Sean Marx scratched his head, "Boss, let me tell you the truth, it is impossible for a team capable of such a large-scale blockade to exist in the NBA, an alliance of interests, unless..."

Yang Cheng frowned even deeper, "Unless? Unless what?"

"It's the league office. Only when the league office speaks can so many teams obey."

"Adam Silver? Is he crazy? Dare to target me like this? Does he still want to make the NBA better? What reason does he have to do this?"

Sean Marx couldn't answer Yang Cheng's series of questions. With such questions, Yang Cheng came to the VIP box on the top floor of the arena. The news was in a bad mood, and he entered the box and kicked out everyone except Sean Marx, poured a glass of whiskey and took a sip, threw himself on the thick leather sofa, turned the glass and said, "Tell me, There must be some basis for your guess."

Sean Marx didn't dare to hide it this time. He took an ipad and operated it and handed it to Yang Cheng, "Boss, this is yesterday's news. Adam Silver said with certainty in an interview with ESPN that the NBA will Introducing gaming within the next five years.”

Yang Cheng glanced at ten lines at a glance, just as Sean Marx said, the news is all about Xiao Hua's desire to introduce gambling.

In fact, this is not the first time he has publicly stated that NBA duball is legalized. Before Xiao Hua took over the position of league president, he said many times that he was exploring ways to legalize gambling. Of course, he did not give a specific one at that time. Now, since we dare to give a 5-year timetable in front of the authoritative media, it means that this matter has officially entered the agenda and will become a reality in the future.

But Yang Cheng didn't understand, what did his introduction of gambling have to do with targeting the Nets? There doesn't seem to be a connection between the two.

The reason why Xiao Hua seeks to legalize doping is mainly because this project can bring huge profits and income to the NBA.

When Xiao Hua served as David Stern's deputy, he has been committed to NBA business development. After he became the president, he has been seeking to maximize profits. It is predictable to make any unbelievable decisions. For example, he The introduction of short-sleeved jerseys, on the one hand, allows NBA jerseys to be used as daily wear, and on the other hand, paves the way for advertising on the jerseys. Xiao Hua also contributed to the NBA's new huge broadcast contract, which made the NBA's profits and players' income skyrocket. increase.

But why should he target the Nets?

Sean Marx said at this time, "Actually, as early as last year, Adam Silver asked the general managers of each team many times in private about their attitudes towards gambling. I don't know what other people said, but I made it very clear at the time. I am pessimistic. I am not in favor of introducing betting into the NBA. This should be a very purely competitive event, bringing the purest sports feast to the audience and fans, so I firmly express my rejection.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion. If you want the support of the Nets, boss, I have no second opinion. After all, eating a full stomach is more important than pursuing beliefs. "

After all, Sean Marx couldn't hide the helplessness and bitterness on his face. It can be seen that he has a heart of loving basketball under the greedy appearance of capital.

Yang Cheng squeezed the wine glass. When purchasing the Nets, Yang Cheng went to the league office to meet with Adam Silver. During this period, he also tested his views on gambling. At that time, his statement was rather ambiguous. Did not completely deny it.

But if you ask Yang Cheng's real opinion, he will undoubtedly scoff. This shit project is more disdainful than shit. Compared with jerseys and broadcast contracts, the legalization of du football is simply an excellent reason for people to give up watching the NBA. , because the legalization of doping means that the NBA may deliberately manipulate the game in pursuit of profits, directly affect the result of the game, and thus make the game lose the flavor of competitive sports.

However, regarding this question, Xiao Hua also once said that by increasing the transparency and supervision of law enforcement, it is possible to avoid biased and missed whistles that affect the game. Unfortunately, this is even more nonsense. Who does the referee listen to? Didn't you listen to the alliance?

You must know that basketball and football are two different concepts. On the football field, even without the involvement of the drug group, various accidents will occur. Miracles have happened more than once on the football field, so even ordinary people are not necessarily fake. I can tell.

But basketball is different, the rules are very clear, can you blow the ball thrown into the basket? Of course it is possible, but if the reason is too nonsense, all fools will know it is match-fixing. Who would want to watch this game full of cheats over time?

So from a personal point of view, Yang Cheng feels that Sean Marx’s opinion is the same as his, and should be clearly stopped. However, from the perspective of the team and management, Yang Cheng will have the same attitude towards gambling as some women who are engaged in functional and technical jobs. Like us, for the sake of money, he opened his thigh obediently, anyway, it was just a few times.

Sean Marx said bitterly, "Looking at it now, except for me, most of the other teams should have expressed their support, at least not expressing their stance clearly, and I, who clearly refused, have become the target of Adam Silver to make an example of others. I'm sorry boss, I was the one who hurt the team, and if necessary, I will take the initiative to resign and take the responsibility on my shoulders."

After knowing the reason, Yang Cheng was not so angry. Instead, she had a calm expression, "Why are you so anxious, why are you resigning? Don't worry, I'm here."

Needless to say, Yang Cheng does have a kind of magical power. Regardless of his young age, he can always bring people a full sense of security. As soon as he said this, Sean Marx felt that the heavy burden on his body disappeared in a blink of an eye. He no longer took Adam Xiao Hua's targeting seriously, he felt that in front of Yang Cheng, it was only a matter of time before Adam Xiao Hua was played to death.

"Is that Wade?"

Just when Sean Marx was wandering, the omnipotent Yang Cheng in his heart had turned his attention to the court. The two sides had already stood in their respective halfs. The referee came to the center holding the ball, and the centers of both sides were ready to jump the ball.

Yang Cheng pointed to the chewing gum man on the TV screen in the box and asked.

Sean Marx was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Yes boss, Dwyane Wade, the star of the Heat, was the second in the league who was once able to kill Kobe inextricably."

Speaking of Wade, Sean Marx unconsciously showed a smile. It seems that his general manager is still a fan of Wade.

"How old is he this year?" Yang Cheng was also quite interested.

He guessed right, Sean Marx really appreciates Wade, and he especially admires his loyalty and fighting spirit. In the finals that year, Wade played phenomenal statistics with a high fever and led the team to win the championship. Perseverance, I don't know how many percentage points stronger than his good friend James.

But appreciation is appreciation, he will not do things that are not good for the team because he admires a certain team, which violates professional ethics.

"Boss, you want Wade? I have reservations. Dwyane was born in 1982 and will be 34 soon. Meniscus, although he is in good condition, he is definitely not a good helper for Paul."

Yang Cheng is not a hard-core fan, so he doesn't know much about the NBA. It's thanks to Wade's black face that he often appears on the pages of fashion magazines. Otherwise, Yang Cheng really doesn't know the former super quantile.

Hearing what Sean Marx said, his desire to exchange Wade immediately faded away. Just kidding, why spend a lot of money to get an old man who is about to retire? Give people old age.

Sean Marx added, "But it's good to be the third master in exchange. At least Dwyane's experience in the finals is what the team needs, and his condition is very good. He can still win this season so far. After averaging 20 points per game, he is the number one shooting guard for the Heat. The most important thing is that Dwyane was fooled by their general manager Pat Riley and signed a contract that did not fit his status. Big, and Dwyane's appeal is very strong, with him joining, it is not difficult to attract other All-Stars in their prime."

The game has already started, Yang Cheng stared intently at Dwyane Wade who was advancing with the ball, and saw that he just passed Korver's defense in a disguised form and then accelerated, piercing the Nets' defense line with ease The basket is successful, the starting speed of this first step can vaguely show the demeanor of the peak.

Just this action made Yang Cheng's eyes light up, "Is it difficult to trade Wade?"

Sean Marx hesitated, "Compared to the obstacles set by the Heat, Dwyane's personal attitude is easier to solve. James left the Heat to make him disheartened. He proposed a trade at the beginning of the season, but Pat Riley took advantage of his feelings. Keep him, but you can see he's lost his love for Miami."

Yang Cheng nodded, and made a quick decision, "In that case, let's propose a deal. Let the other party raise the bargaining chips. Anyway, we have nothing not for sale except Chris Paul."

Sean Marx immediately said, "I understand the boss, but do we need to discuss it with the head coach? If Wade doesn't meet his tactical requirements, I'm afraid it will destroy the team's tacit understanding after just running in."
