Robert Pera, unlike most greasy entrepreneurs, is only 35 years old now. And judging from his appearance, he is younger than his actual age, has a good figure and has not raised his big belly.

This is mainly due to Pera's hobby, basketball. Pera goes to the court four or five times a week. Born in Los Angeles, he has the same obsession with basketball as other children. In addition to the computers and the Internet that made him rich, basketball is his favorite.

Pera joined the famous Apple company in 2003 and became a hardware engineer. But after two years, he found that this was not the only way to success, so in 2005, Pera left Apple and began to look for investment opportunities related to wireless network technology. In March of that year, he took out all his savings and cash overdrafted through credit card to raise 30,000 US dollars to establish his own company.

Pera's behavior of overdrawing his credit card to raise $30,000 to start a company was seen as a desperate risky approach. But he was quite proud of this, quickly discovered opportunities, and then devoted clear and concise efforts in the right direction, which was Pera's life creed.

Therefore, when he discovered that the Grizzlies could go further, he, who loved basketball, decided to take action.

On April 6, the Grizzlies, who had just finished their back-to-back games, returned to their home court to continue their regular season journey. Today, the Grizzlies' opponent is the defending champion Dallas Mavericks who struggled on the edge of the playoffs.

The Dallas Mavericks' championship last year was extremely valuable, but they are also likely to become one of the worst defending champions in NBA history.

This game has attracted much attention, and Grizzlies fans will enjoy the team's revenge process very much. But at this time, Michael Heisley, the current Grizzlies boss sitting in the luxurious box, had no time to worry about the game because he welcomed a very important guest.

"The Federal Express Arena is really great. I saw the portrait of Elvis outside. People say that this is the most literary and artistic stadium in the entire league, and it is indeed well-deserved." Aside Hesley, the young Robert Pera expressed his love for the Federal Express Arena.

"Indeed, this stadium has been underestimated, and in fact its facilities are quite luxurious. By the way, Mr. Pera, you should have seen my offer." Michael Heisley saw that the game officially began, so he officially started his preliminary negotiations with Pera.

"I've seen it, you're asking for a price of 377 million. To be honest, this price has scared away many buyers." Pera stared at the stadium while talking to Heasley.

Last year, the US media estimated that the Grizzlies' team's value was about $269 million, which was only higher than the Bucks in the NBA league, ranking 29th and second to last in the league.

However, who knew that the Grizzlies, who had been silent for a long time, made it to the Western Conference Finals and remained in the top three in the Western Conference this year. Therefore, Heasley also raised the selling price.

However, in most people's opinion, spending nearly $400 million to win the Memphis Grizzlies is still not a good deal. This is why Haasley's plan to sell the team has not been smooth.

"So, has this offer scared you away?" Hasley asked with interest.

“If I were scared away, I wouldn’t be sitting here now.”

"Hahaha, it seems that you really want to enter the basketball industry, Mr. Pera. However, basketball is not that easy. Running a team is not as easy as collecting 10 players to play." Although Hesley really wants to take the team quickly, he doesn't want his team to fall into the hands of unreliable people. After all, the Grizzlies are also his efforts.

So, he carefully reminded Pera about how difficult it is to run the team.

However, Pera nodded firmly, "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Heisley. I think, I'm ready. By the way, are there any other requirements in the league?"

Hayesley paused, he didn't expect Pera to answer so readily, "Well, the requirement in the league is that you need not move the Grizzlies out of Memphis within 15 years. You know, the league is afraid that all teams will gather in big cities."

"Is that so? Hahaha, I have no intention of moving the team away. From this point of view, we can continue to communicate in depth." Pera agreed to all the conditions, and he was determined to win the Grizzlies.

But now, he wants to put the acquisition of the team first. It would be a pity to come to the Federal Express Arena.

Nowitzki made a jump shot over, and in this case, he was most likely to score the ball. But this time, in Randolph's interference, Dirk missed the shot!

"Nowitzki failed to score the ball, Gasol Jr. got the rebound, and the Grizzlies got the opportunity to continue to expand the score!"

After halftime, Conley directly broke through the "psychopath" Deronti West, Kidd was injured, and the Mavericks had to play No. 1 with West, whose mental state had been in a bad state. However, this guy seemed to be distracted on the basketball court again.

Seeing this, the Mavericks' defense contracted, and their center Brandon Haywood also jumped up while Conley took off.

Little did he know that Conley did not attack the box, but just passed the ball after taking off.

Link, who broke through Marion from the side and cut into the penalty area, received the ball and dunked directly. The Grizzlies made a quick attack.

On the side of the court, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle shook his head helplessly.

If it were last year, Nowitzki would not miss the shot that he just made.

Even if he failed, Kidd would not have allowed Conley to make such an easy breakthrough last year.

Even if he was really broken through, Tyson Chandler, who was guarding the inside, would not be deceived so easily, and Marion would not be thrown away so easily.

However, just a year later, everything has changed. What is gone is gone, and it has declined. The Grizzlies were eliminated by the Mavericks last year, but this year, it has pushed the Mavericks so hard that they could not breathe.

After this goal, the Grizzlies took an 8-point lead in the last 30 seconds. Although theoretically, the Mavericks still have a chance. But judging from the current situation, the Mavericks are already powerless to make things happen.

"A beautiful victory, the Grizzlies were not discouraged after losing to the Thunder in the last game, but quickly adjusted. Today, at home, they played the level they should have. Link scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 9 of 15 shots, and a shooting percentage of 60%. In the last game, due to physical fitness, Link was not as efficient as usual. But today, he undoubtedly got his best form back."

The game is about to end, and according to convention, Hubby Brown can't help but blew at Link.

Since Guy was injured, Link has indeed set an example in every game and is the team's highest scorer in every game. Link has taken all the difficult attacks.

On this basis, Link's defensive quality, assists and rebounds have not yet declined, which is indeed very commendable.

In the end, the Mavericks lost to the Grizzlies 98-104 away. At this point, the Grizzlies became the fourth team in the league to win the 40th game in the shrinking season after the Thunder, the Spurs and the No. 1 Bulls in the East.

When asked by reporters after the game, "When I play the Clippers, the direct competitor in the rankings in the next game, do I have the confidence to win?", Link's answer was also very similar to a leader.

"We will do our best to keep the top three in the West. My teammates and I are eager to fight, and we will be in the best shape."

"Signing Link is the most correct thing you have ever done, Mr. Haysley." Looking at Link who was interviewed on the court, Robert Pera smiled with satisfaction.

He believed that one day, Hardaway would see the value of that guy.

If nothing unexpected happens, Pera believes that she will officially take over the Grizzlies this summer, and then it will happen to be in the offseason and can do it well.
