Chapter 528 Entering Memphis

On April 4, the NBA headquarters held a press conference.

League President Russ Granik presided over, and he began by announcing:
Qiao Rannuo has completed the acquisition of the Memphis Grizzlies and has been unanimously approved by the NBA Council. On behalf of the NBA, he welcomes the addition of new members.

These are all the meanings in the title. Before the press conference, the media had already got the news.

The magnificent Qiao Rannuo and the bereaved Mike Heisley sat next to Granik, the beauty and the beast formed a sharp contrast.

A Grizzly's gloomy past, another Grizzly's bright future!

It was supposed to be a rallying session, however, New York is so rich in leverage.

Even journalists are no exception!
Instead of teasing Qiao Rannuo, the richest single young woman in the world, they chased after Mike Heisley:
"Mr. Heisley, it is said that you once asked for a price of 3 million U.S. dollars. Is it convenient for you to disclose, what was the final transaction price?"

This is definitely intentional.

With the eyeliner of the major media at the NBA headquarters, the only ones who still don't know the transaction price are the security guards at the scene.

Mike Heisley was furious.

It's really unlucky for people to sell Mamai, ghosts blowing lights, and farting are all on the heels!

I admit to being bullied by the richest man in the alliance, and such a little reporter also kicked his nose in the face?
The corners of the decadent bad old man's mouth trembled.

I wanted to yell, but I saw the sign on the reporter's chest:

"New York Times"

Forget it, let you go.

Mike Heisley spit out four words angrily.

"No comment!"

"Mr. Heisley, do you now regret trading Pau Gasol?"

Regret, I certainly regret it!

If Pau Gasol hadn't been traded, Memphis fans wouldn't have been cast aside, and the team wouldn't have been rotten. Maybe the devil on the left wouldn't have bought the FedEx Forum, and the team wouldn't have been bought by nobody, and wouldn't have been brutally suppressed by the devil...

He was so regretful that his intestines were green. Losing the Spaniard, the team lost [-] million yuan in sales!

I can't even think about it. When I think about it, Mike Heisley's heart hurts so bad that he can't breathe...

However, at this time, you must not be cowardly.

The corners of Mike Heisley's mouth trembled, he gritted his teeth, and said sternly:

"There is nothing to regret, all my efforts are for the team and the fans..."

what……

Before he finished speaking, he was collectively despised by the reporters.

This bad old man has a thick skin.

Stop wasting your tongue with him!
"Miss Qiao, didn't you buy it only after the Memphis Grizzlies were devalued to a dollar? Why did you spend [-] million to buy it in advance?"

As a master, it is a basic quality not to ask questions well.

Qiao Rannuo smiled slightly, his red lips parted slightly, and three words popped out:
"My pleasure!"

There's nothing wrong with it, I have [-] million, I'm happy, if you don't accept it, come and bite!

"Miss Qiao, you bought the FedEx Forum at a premium..."

"happy!"

"Miss Qiao, you interrupted FedEx's naming rights..."

"Fun!"

……

As a barrister with a six-state license, Qiao Rannuo didn't have many ways to deal with these scumbags!
If you don't ask well, I won't answer well.

Didn't Zhao Ke say that he is rich and self-willed?

And it happens to be rich right now.

This little sister will be self-willed and let you take a look!

This is the rhythm that drives the media crazy!

How will the headlines be written tomorrow?

Rich Qiao is happy, happy, and fun...

The editor-in-chief is afraid that he will flip the table!
The press conference ended hastily, and Mike Heisley rushed out of the venue as if fleeing.

Ma Dan, the NBA is too unfriendly.

Farewell, never see you again!
Qiao Rannuo was not in a hurry to return to Memphis, but issued his first decree as the owner of the Grizzlies:
Current general manager Chris Wallace can pack up and get out!

Whether it's taking the blame, clearing up the remaining poison, whether it's the emperor or the courtier, Chris Wallace is not suitable to stay in the Memphis Grizzlies.

In Qiao Rannuo's hands, the Memphis Grizzlies actually don't need a general manager at all.

With Zhao Ke, the "prophet", there is no blind spot in the draft and trade, and there is a general manager, but hands are bound.

But Qiao Rannuo wanted to go back to China after all to preside over the disaster relief plan of the Rannuo Foundation.

That's the big deal, billions of projects, tens of thousands of lives!

And it is impossible for Zhao Ke to go around to discuss deals, contracts, life and ideals. He is just a player and cannot cross the line in many things.

Therefore, we still have to find a general manager.

Be calm and don't jump.

Preferably a rookie with no background and no bad habits.

Therefore, the candidate for the new general manager, Zhao Ke recommended——

Alan Houston!

In fact, Zhao Ke and Alan Houston are not familiar with each other, and they have not even spoken much. If they have a good impression, it is just a sympathy between pitchers.

He was chosen because of Alan Houston's character.

He's steady and patient.

In 0.8 seconds, he can hit the throw and kill.

Still able to keep silent, keep a low profile, and be tenacious in the midst of the overwhelming abuse and boos at Madison Square Garden, fighting hard.

And Alan Houston's coffee position is also enough, "CIC King", All-Star, [-] million yuan contract, the youngest GM in history...

These will become topics, a spark that ignites the depressed Memphis.

At this time, Alan Houston had just retired for a year.

Quiet and thinking about moving, he wanted to go to the New York Knicks to humiliate himself, and he had to be dissuaded.

There is a high salary here, would you like to take it?

The 36-year-old Alan Houston was stunned. Could it be that the god of fate has begun to take care of me again!

Is this what the old man selling cakes said, when he closes a door, he will open a window at the same time?

After discussing with his family, Alan Houston quickly gained the support of his parents, wife and six children——

Compared with dragging two injured legs to work hard, being a GM in a suit and leather shoes is a more attractive job.

Alan Houston is happy to take office!

The first task he wants to complete is to uncover the mystery of the brand new home arena...

The original FedEx Forum, is a beautiful white shell.

If it weren't for the ugly logo of FedEx, the design of this arena is quite avant-garde and fashionable.

Now, the ugly logo is gone.

On the outside of the arena, on the back of the white shell, the huge team logo of the Memphis Grizzlies was spelled out with LED lights, and the bear face pattern almost occupied the entire dome.

Looking down from the sky, the white shell turned into a shield, with a ferocious dark blue bear head on it, and golden pupils exuding a ferocious aura.

Of course, this shield works better at night, it's more realistic, and it's more shocking.

After all, these are hundreds of thousands of headlights...

On the marble wall on the front of the arena, the new name of the arena is engraved in cursive English and Xiaozhuan Chinese:

Memphis Grizzly Dynasty Temple!
