Chapter 1126 The new boss of the Spurs
The fans at the scene were very restless.
However, they also know that the team boss just passed away, and such a failure is acceptable.
After all, 82 games are very long, and you will always encounter situations such or that. The last time you lost to the Trail Blazers was because Tang Tian was absent.
Now that I have encountered something like the boss dies of illness, and I am a good boss, no one can think that nothing has happened.
It was just a cheap Trail Blazers, and they both encountered such good luck.
I can only say that fate favors them this season.
It is estimated that after this game, the Trail Blazers fans will climax.
They are the only team that has won the Pelicans this season, and they win twice.
Just when many people think so, the situation suddenly changed in the second half.
The Pelicans' form has recovered after half-time adjustment.
Under Tang Tian's leadership, they played a completely different half from the first half, holding the Trail Blazers tightly.
Lillard was also lost by Butler's defense.
The Pelicans lost first and then won, and scored 30 points in the second half.
They eventually defeated the Trail Blazers 116-96, expanding their winning streak to 30 games.
At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked why the Stevens team had such a big difference in the first and second half.
"You have to ask Tang about this."
Stevens did not answer directly.
"Don told us that winning the game is the best farewell to Mr. Benson, he loves this team, he likes victory."
Tang Tian didn't speak, Davis took the microphone and told him.
I am sure it is difficult to say this directly, and Davis's emotional intelligence is getting higher and higher.
However, it is reasonable for Tang Tian to say this.
Benson's favorite player during his lifetime was Tang Tian, and the team should do this in terms of emotion and reason.
The day after the game, all walks of life in the league also expressed condolences for Benson's death.
Benson took over the Hornets, which were then entrusted by the league in 2012, and was a timely help to the league.
In just a few years afterwards, the Pelicans/Hornets selected Davis, dug up Tang Tian, and copied his miracle in NFL.
And now the Pelicans are the strongest team in the league, second only to the Lakers and the Knicks in the market.
As the boss, he has a very successful career, and he is also very humble in dealing with people and is willing to devote himself to the team. He has a very good popularity.
David Stern: Mr. Benson's death was a great loss to the league, he was the most important wealth in the league and one of my best friends, what a heartbreaking news;
Xiao Hua: Benson is our friend, and we mourn for his departure;
Vivik Ranadave (Kings owner): I was shocked to hear the news of Tom Benson's death. Tom gave back to New Orleans and Louisiana. On behalf of the Sacramento Kings, I extended my sincerest condolences to his family, the Pelicans, the Saints and the City of New Orleans;
James: Benson is one of the best bosses in the league, and he has made immeasurable contributions to New Orleans. I extend my sincerest greetings to his wife, Ms. Gale, and his family and peers in the Pelicans.
fox sports official: Mr. Benson is one of the best bosses in the league. His departure is heartbreaking not only for the NBA and NFL leagues, but also for all fans and media. We mourn him and wish his family good;
...
With the condolences from all walks of life, everyone is also curious about who will be the leader of the Pelicans in the future.
As the top team in the league, if there is power change or even the turmoil of the Bass family, the impact will be huge.
However, such things will not result immediately, and the fans' discussions will not stop.
At this moment, something equally noticeable happened to the league.
The new owner of the Spurs has been officially confirmed.
After Holt was forced to sell the team, the Spurs' new boss had no results.
There are many reasons here.
The league hopes that the Spurs' new boss is better to be a local San Antonio entrepreneur, so that the impact can be minimized.
But the reality is that not to mention local, there are very few bosses who are interested in the Spurs in the United States.
The Spurs' market is too small. Although there are many championships, the team's market value and annual profit are all downstream of the league.
It's only a little more than those small cities and teams with no record.
This is also one of the reasons why Holt made a deal with privately.
San Antonio has a large population, but as a military center, there are too many restrictions.
So this matter has been delayed until recently.
Alibaba's second shareholder X from China ended up fully acquiring Holt's team shares with an irrefutable offer.
It is said that this acquisition has caused the Spurs' market price to rise from $800 million to $1.1 billion.
From this point of view, we can see that the price paid by x is definitely not small.
But this also shows another thing: in the face of money, many problems are not problems.
In fact, there have been rumors that American entrepreneurs are not very interested, but overseas entrepreneurs are not very interested.
But many people sneer at this possibility.
After all, San Antonio is a military center, and the US government will not allow such a thing to happen.
Furthermore, countries are very cautious about the outflow of funds. Governments will also intervene in transactions of hundreds of millions of dollars.
But it turns out that those problems are not problems in front of money.
Money can make the devil push the mill, and money is omnipotent in these things.
After x acquired the Spurs, he became the first Chinese boss to the NBA!
This incident has caused a turmoil among domestic fans.
"The first person in the league is from China, and now there is a Chinese boss. Can I say that the Chinese are becoming the masters of the NBA?"
"NBA, the first basketball league for Chinese people!"
"No, nba is Chinese, but also worldly. (づ●─●)づ"
"Speaking of Benson is dead, can Tang Tian consider acquiring the Pelicans?"
"I think it's totally OK. Tang Tian's assets are already among the top few active players, right? It's a good idea to form a consortium!"
"I want to ask weakly, can I become a small shareholder if I pay a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan?"
"You go away! I'll give you 3,000, just have one! I'll fight to acquire the Pelicans!"
"Okay, okay, don't joke. Tang Tian is still a player now? How do you acquire the team? Will you let him retire immediately?"
"That's right, NBA does not allow players to own shares now. If possible, there would have been a long time since the owner of NBA team."
"Let me guess who you are hacking?"
"This still needs to be blackened? Don't you know who the most successful businessman among NBA players is?"
"It must not be my emperor, if it is, you will be black!"
