I Am a Nobleman in England

Arthur's high-profile hype really made the media in New York excited. For the media, it is undoubtedly a huge gimmick for the rich to tear each other apart, which can guarantee the sales of newspapers. After all, the ordinary People are very interested in this.

In particular, Arthur's status as Earl of England and Taylor Swift's boyfriend's status are news points that people are curious about, not to mention the fight with local tyrants in Xiongguo. Let's get excited.

And the Nets, which has become a super bad team, became the focus of attention of all parties because of the saliva battle between Arthur and Rokhorov.

As Arthur expected, as soon as his taunt was published in the newspaper, Rokhorov boasted unabashedly in the face of the media's challenge, saying, "I just want to build a championship team. With the five-year time limit, if the Nets don't win the championship, I won't get married."

As for Arthur's counterattack, he wisely started from his love for sports, saying that although he is not a professional athlete, he has loved basketball since he was a child. It can be said that he is a die-hard basketball fan. , Xiong Guo's background is the biggest obstacle for him to enter the NBA.

All over the United States, people naturally have doubts about Xiongguo and people from Xiongguo. He is very clear about this. The reason why he invests funds in the United States and develops the American market is not without the idea of ​​​​preventing certain things from happening.

It's just a pity that since he knew where his weakness was, Arthur would naturally not miss the opportunity to make trouble. Through David Stern, Arthur got calls from other NBA team owners.

"...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 a check to buy superstar players everywhere. Everyone knows that the NBA is a league. Business, as long as the price is right, those superstars will shake and dance with the check.

Next, many superstars will become free agents, including your team's James, don't you worry? "

Arthur was lying on the sofa, with his feet resting on the coffee table, a stack of newspapers on his lap, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, holding his mobile phone with a smile, and talking to Daniel Gilbert, the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers, on the other end of the phone Alarmist talk.

Arthur knew that if he wanted to prevent the local tycoons from the Xiong Country from joining the league, the most important thing was to work hard at the meetings within the league, and it was meaningless to make a fuss about the background of the local tyrants from the Xiong Country if he wanted to convince these smart team owners Well, for businessmen like them, nationality is not a problem at all. What they consider is whether the joining of the other party will bring benefits to the alliance and whether it will threaten themselves.

And Rokholov hopes to follow the example of his compatriot Abramovich to build a Premier League giant, and play Jinyuan Sports, which is undoubtedly the most annoying and annoying by all NBA team owners with superstar players.

In particular, the Cavaliers with James Jr., the Raptors with Bosh and the Heat with Wade are the most troublesome, because these three All-Star players will soon usher in free status.

Not to mention that these players couldn't face YOUHUO with large checks when they were under contract. Now that they are free, it is even more conceivable that they will join the Nets for money.

This is undoubtedly the last thing these team owners want to see!

That's why Arthur put the target of public relations first on the Cavaliers, the Raptors and the Heat, three teams with deep pain. In fact, just as Arthur thought, Daniel Gilbert was very anxious and depressed in the face of the little emperor James who had been arguing for reinforcements to compete for the championship, and who would leave without reinforcements.

Everyone knows that the reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers are in this situation today is all because of the league superstar LeBron James on the team,

If he really jumped out of the contract, did not renew the contract with the Cavaliers, and left the Nets, then he would really be pissed off.

As for whether he will leave, Daniel has no doubts at all. As the British earl said on the other end of the phone, the alliance is a business, there is nothing not for sale, and loyalty is at all.

Faced with a large check, coupled with the promise of a superstar team, LeBron James, who wants to win the championship, has a great chance of joining.

"It is true that his joining will inevitably break the economic balance of the league. However, the arrogant idea of ​​spending money on a championship team is an ignorant move that has not experienced the influence of NBA culture."

Hearing Daniel's deep words, the smile on Arthur's face became brighter and brighter. He knew that the other party had been persuaded by him, and began to hate the unstable factor of Xiong Country's local tyrants.

"Hehe, in my opinion, in the NBA, there are stars, a reasonable lineup, and good results are a matter of course. As long as you find the way to survive in the NBA and grasp every summer, it is not easy for any team to bottom out and rebound. out of reach.

If you blindly pile up superstars, you may be crazy for a while, but it is by no means a long-term road. Cultivating your own star and building a championship team around your own star is the kingly way. It's the way of a thief.

I prefer to see the team go from the trough to the peak in my own hands, only then will I have a sense of accomplishment and feel infinite glory! " Arthur said earnestly.

"Yes, I very much agree with your opinion. It seems that we are the same kind of people. Don't worry, Mr. Bolin. I will stand by your side and welcome you to join the alliance!"

"Haha, thank you. If it's convenient, we can meet and have a good chat. As you know, I don't have any friends in the United States..." Arthur smiled and invited with narrowed eyes.

"Hehe, of course there is no problem. It is my honor. The NBA draft in May is about to start. See you in New York!"

"Okay, see you in New York!" Arthur hung up the phone with a bright smile, and laughed happily.

"Haha, with the first ally, will the second be far behind?"

As he spoke, Arthur continued to call the CEO of the Raptors owner Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.

"Hi, I'm Arthur Boleyn..."

When Arthur began to pull allies around to prevent the bears from joining the league, the current owner of the New York City Forest Group and the New Jersey Nets, Labrus Ratner, fell into great depression.

Others are happy because there are two scrambling to buy, but he is just the opposite. When he sees that the wind direction reported by the media is becoming more and more unfavorable to the local tyrants of Xiong who are willing to increase the price, he is a little worried, even if he puts the team in the end. Even if it was sold to Rokhorov, it would not be approved by the alliance. In that case, he would really faint in the toilet by then.

Thinking of Arthur's young face with an elegant smile, Labrus shook his head a little dumbfounded. It was really a toss-up. It's only been a few days, and things have turned into such a mess!

Damn, even the UK has already started to report on this matter. What is even more speechless is that many British celebrities and politicians have spoken out, saying that they are looking forward to having a British home team in the NBA.

The British Basketball Association even stood up and spoke out in support of Earl Arthur's acquisition, saying that it would play an incomparably huge role in promoting the promotion of basketball in the UK. Suddenly, as things continued to ferment, simple business activities became It became an extremely complicated matter.
