Ending never means a tragic farewell, but it is more likely to be a new beginning. There is never a shortage of legendary figures in the sports world, but how many perfect endings can be remembered by people? You always have to choose to say goodbye. Some people choose to get away with success and fame, while others choose to continue to accompany you in another way.

Houston Rockets owner Alexander can be called well-known for many fans of the Rabbit Country. In his five seasons of playing for the Rockets, more than 30 million people watched on TV in each game. It can be said that it was also from Yaoyao that the NBA had a breakthrough in the Rabbit Country market, which made the Rockets and the NBA popularized in Rabbit Country. In this regard, both NBA and Rabbit Country fans should thank Alexander.

Andy naturally knew that the old Jewish man in front of him was actually not willing to sell the Rockets, but he had to raise a large amount of cash to save his investment company. Alexander's personal investment interests are mainly in real estate, sports teams, and investment funds. This kind of asset combination is undoubtedly a very stable investment portfolio in normal times, but in the current situation where the real estate bubble burst, triggered a subprime mortgage crisis, caused market panic, and the stock market collapsed, it is undoubtedly a fatal toxic asset allocation.

"So, Andy, my quotation of 400 million US dollars is definitely a very cheap price." Alexander said first. The negotiations between the two parties have actually been almost agreed, but due to the huge differences in prices, a suitable balance has not been found.

"Alexander, let's just click. No one will accept this price at the moment, and I cannot accept it. Since the Rockets won two championships, their results have not improved. Although the existence of Yao Day is a revolutionary storm for the Rockets' past revenue.

However, Yao Dayao and McGrady were both affected by extremely serious injuries last season. Yao Dayao only played 57 games, while McGrady only played 47 games, which made the Rockets unable to advance to the playoffs.

Everyone knows that the huge market behind Yao Yao, a big rabbit man, has also brought huge benefits to the Rockets, but his salary is not low, and my team has made an assessment that Yao Yao has entered a period of frequent injuries due to changes in height and weight. No one can determine how long he will rest next time he is injured. This will affect the performance of the entire team... 330 million US dollars, this is the most reasonable price given by my think tank, and it is also my greatest concession and sincerity."

Andy looked at Alexander with a serious look and said, "I like to be more direct, the new season is about to begin, we don't have much time."

Although Alexander frowned, he would not be led by the young Andy, and his frown slowly stretched out. He shook his head and smiled: "Andy, everyone knows the value of Yaoyao. With McGrady, the two superstars combined have stimulated the team's economic surge. The team's annual income is about 140 million yuan, and the Rockets have a balance of revenue and surplus. It is definitely a big toy that can be satisfied. 400 million US dollars is really not expensive at all. I have made a big concession, after all, the market value of last year has reached 436 million US dollars."

"Alexander, you know, the Warriors who created the Black Eight Miracle only had a price of 270 million US dollars. Even the Clippers in Los Angeles are interested in selling it. That's Los Angeles. If you insist on this price, we can't continue." Andy was unmoved. The two were talking about intentions now, and both of them could regret it at any time. Although Andy was very anxious, Alexander needed funds even more.

Alexander definitely wants to sell the Rockets, which has almost become a certain fact. After all, he has made preparations for a large amount of sales in the early stage. The young man who proposed the acquisition intention does not want to spend too much money. Alexander also learned that the main reason why Andy chose the Houston Rockets is because Texas is the foundation of the Smith family, and he cares more about the team's influence than about the team's lineup.

Of course this is, Alexander himself believes that the conclusion of his analysis with his team, and after repeated weighing, Alexander had a general bottom line before coming, "Okay, you won, Andy, I'll give you another 20 million, $380 million..."

"360 million, I believe that as long as you are more comfortable, it will be solved quickly. Cash payment. In this era, you undoubtedly need more cash. I think it will be beneficial for you to sell it earlier!" If it exceeds this price, I'm sorry, I can only choose another goal."

When Alexander heard Andy's words, he did not feel angry because of his interruption, but instead breathed a sigh of relief. He now knew Andy's psychological price, at least exceeding the price bottom line of 350 million that he set.

"Yes, it will be good for you and me to sell him earlier, so let's do it!" Alexander made a decision in his heart that if it weren't for the divorce a few years ago, the price of $250 million was paid, if the real estate bubble had not burst and the bank had not tightened the loan, he wouldn't really choose to sell the Rockets. It's meaningless to say anything now, so you can get through the difficulties first.

Andy smiled brightly on his face, raised his glass and touched Alexander, and said, "Then I'm sure I wish us a smooth deal."

David Stern, who had been paying attention to the two, saw the two raising their glasses and drinking together. He noticed the bright smile on the young man Andy's face. He immediately thought that the deal was concluded. After saying sorry to his new friend, he came to the two.

"How is it, two of you, have you agreed?"

Alexander nodded with a complicated smile on his face and said, "The alliance needs to agree to the deal."

"Yes, Mr. Stern, I'll bother you next." Andy raised his glass with a happy smile on his face, and said, "andi raised his glass and touched David Stern.

"No problem, Leslie, thank you for your contribution to the league over the years. The team you run is undoubtedly successful. You not only watch the Rockets win the championship for two consecutive years, but also bring Yao Dayan to Houston, giving the NBA a qualitative leap in the Rabbit Country." David Stern nodded and signaled, looking at Alexander, who had a complicated expression, said.

"Thank you." Alexander couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that the president of the league was also looking forward to the joining of the young man in front of him, which would bring more attention.

After all, the transaction has not been finalized, it is just a verbal agreement and the transaction contract has not been signed. Naturally, David Stern cannot congratulate and welcome Andy's joining in front of Alexander.

The three of them chatted together for a while. Since the main purpose has been achieved, Andy also needs to entertain others. Sorry, he left the three people's small circle and chose the Rockets because Andy prefers to own a team alone and turns it into a personal item to be more in line with Andy Smith's personality, rather than sharing it with others.

The Warriors' shares belong to several people. Andy may have to put in a lot of effort and time to complete the privatization. It is not as simple and direct as the Rockets. As for the Clippers, hehe, he doesn't want to be the sucker and be slaughtered by that old bastard Sterling.

"Do you think he will chase the championship from the beginning just like you took over the Rockets?" David Stern raised his glass, took a sip, stood side by side with Alexander, looking at Andy's back as he left, and asked.

"He is so young and not short of money. Haha, the Rockets will become the most dynamic and energetic team in professional sports! Winning the championship is the pursuit of every league team boss, except for the clown who loves to play rogues in Los Angeles. Since the league agreed to join the three Celtics this summer, the league in the future will gradually become the world where giants join forces to win the championship. Huge luxury tax, haha, this is not something I can accept. Houston fans have always complained that I am stingy. It's good to withdraw at this time. I hope he can bring the Rockets championship."

Listening to Alexander's self-deprecating words, the president of David Stern, the league's president naturally knew that Alexander's analysis was very accurate. Since Jordan retired and the Sharks arrived in Los Angeles, the era of giants gathering has begun. The reason why he agreed to the Celtics' three giants form an army, naturally, these transactions are large transactions involving multiple teams. The most important thing is to increase the viewing of the NBA game and break the monopoly of the Lakers and the Spurs.

While Preston Tisci was chatting with several other acquaintances, one of them raised his chin slightly with a smile and whispered to Preston: "Our banquet host is here, Preston, it seems you can make another profit."

Preston looked back at the young and tall Andy who was walking towards him without regard, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "I haven't decided whether to sell it yet."

"Ha~ Stop kidding, Tischi, without Wellington, the Giants can't play. Look at it now, it's a mess. The inside of your team is a mess. The people of the Mara family have no intention of taking over the Giants. They have long wanted to exchange it for cash. Unless you can turn the Giants into your own, the future will be worrying. It's better to sell it while it's valuable."

Listening to his friend's words, Preston also smiled bitterly. If his good friend Wellington Mara knew about his children's behavior now, she would not know if she would be angry. Looking at the friends around him shook hands with Andy Smith who came over with a smile, he sorted out his mood and shook hands with Andy.

"Mr. Stitch, I don't know what I'm thinking about?" This is not the first time Andy has communicated with Preston, so he didn't go around in circles and went straight to the point after a little greeting.

"You can already get 51% of the shares, and my shares do not pose a threat to you. Wouldn't it be good for us to work together?" Preston said with a wry smile.
