NBA: Teaming up with Thompson, the template for Atsushi Zihara

Mikhail Prokhorov, 45, ranks 39th on Forbes' latest list of the world's richest people.

The main industries under the name are gold production and nickel gold manufacturing in Russia.

Prokhorov, who is 2.06 meters tall, likes to play basketball since he was a child.
As early as 1997, he became the president of the Ouzhou basketball giant Mosk Army Basketball Club.

During his tenure, he injected a lot of money into the team. When the Moscow Army won the championship, he specially bought a large number of bottles of champagne worth thousands of dollars to spray and celebrate.

As a time traveler, Qin Chong naturally knew more about Prokhorov.

The four richest men in Russia are really not short of money.
In my previous life, I not only spent huge sums of money to build the Barclays Center arena in Brooklyn,
In 2013, he prompted the team and the Boston Celtics to complete a shocking transaction, and he did not hesitate to pay a high luxury tax.

Formed the most expensive starting five tigers in NBA history with the Nets' $8240 million.

And invited the newly retired Jason Kidd as the head coach.

Of course, the final result is embarrassing. The Brooklyn Nets only got the sixth record in the Eastern Conference in the 13-14 season, and were easily eliminated by the Heat 4:1 in the second round of the playoffs.

Prokhorov's practice of pulling seedlings and encouraging the overdraft of the team's future,
It also became the most notorious trade in NBA history.
And the slogan of winning the championship within five years has also become a joke.

But in all fairness,

The Russian four boss really wanted the team to win the championship, and he did everything he could.

Such a good boss is rare in the NBA.

Although it failed to achieve the goal and let the Nets win a championship,
However, Prokhorov sold the team to the Chinese owner Cai Zhongxin for a sky-high price of 2019 billion US dollars in 30, which made him a lot of money.

Qin Chong also had to sigh with emotion. Sure enough, this businessman is suitable for doing business to make money, but he is really not good at running a team.

Prokhorov was very enthusiastic during the dinner, chatting with Qin Chong and the general manager Vandeweghe,
The beautiful secretary who is proficient in Mi, Russian and Tianhua is doing smooth translation.

"Qin, I am very optimistic about you, you will be the absolute leader of the Nets in the new season!"

"Except for you, there are no items not for sale in the team!"

"I heard from Vandeweghe that there are many big-name players in the free market this year. Who do you like to join forces with? Tell the general manager directly, and the management will take your suggestion into consideration!"

"Play hard in the new season. I believe that your brilliance in the Cougars in NCAA March Madness will definitely continue in the NBA!"

Hearing that the new boss wanted to give Qin Chong the right to interfere with the management's decisions, Yi Jianlian and Courtney Lee, who were standing next to him, had flashes of light in their eyes and regarded Qin Chong as a savior.

I thought to myself that during this offseason, building a good relationship with Qin Chong would be the first to bear the brunt.

Courtney Lee thought again that Yi Jianlian was from Qin Chong's hometown, so she quickly got up and picked up a large piece of abalone, and enthusiastically put it into Yi Jianlian's bowl:

"Come on, Ah Lian, eat more!"

When Prokhorov got drunk, he asked the secretary to bring up two keys and patted them in front of Qin Chong's eyes:
"Mr. Qin, this is a gift from our boss,"

"A Rolls-Royce Phantom worth 29 dollars, and a villa in a rich area of ​​New York worth 260 million dollars!"

"hiss……"

Around Qin Chong's two lives, he was also shocked by the new boss's generosity.

This gave yourself 300 million dollars in one breath?It almost caught up with his salary for a year!

"Boss, how can I accept such an expensive gift?"

He said he was embarrassed, but his body was very honest, and he reached out and put the two keys into his pocket.

Prokhorov smiled, patted Qin Chong on the shoulder and said:
"Qin, with these two keys, it's not too much to buy you to score 20 points and 10 rebounds in the opening game of the new season, right?"

Before Qin Chong could speak, his father, Qin Chenghai, patted the table and jumped up, patted his chest and made a promise:
"Mr. Prokhorov, on behalf of my son, I promise you that the opening game of the new season will directly give you double the stats!"

"What 20 points and 10 rebounds, at least 40 points and 20 rebounds, this is not a problem!"

The corner of Qin Chong's mouth twitched, his father is really a professional cheater!

Are you crazy about drinking too much?

40+20?

What do you think, that's the NBA.

Everyone in the box immediately burst into laughter one after another, and the beautiful secretary came to Prokhorov's ear and translated Qin Chenghai's words.

Prokhorov also laughed with everyone:

"Okay, that's it!"

"At that time, if you can really get 40+20 in the opening game, I will give your parents a house in Manhattan!"

Taylor Swift also jumped out strangely, and said mischievously to Prokhorov:

"Boss, what about mine? I think Qin can get 50 points!"

"Haha, Taylor Swift, I'm also your fan!"

"That's it. If Qin can score 50 points and 20 rebounds in the opening game, then if you come to New York to hold a concert this year, I will sponsor you!"

Qin Chong was speechless. Are Dad and Taylor Swift forming a group to squeeze him?

I only look forward to the new season schedule from the NBA headquarters,
The Nets will not encounter too strong opponents in the opening game!

……

7 month 2 day,
New Jersey Nets Home: Continental Arena,

General Manager's Office,

Accompanied by agent Su Jinmai,
Qin Chong officially signed a four-year rookie contract of $4 million with the team, with a starting salary of $2402 million in the first year.

Seeing Qin Chong sign the contract, Vandeweghe was also very excited.
Shake hands and hug Qin Chong again:
"Qin, the Nets welcome you. In the new season, let us work together for the team to make a comeback and enter the playoffs!"

Qin Chong raised his eyebrows confidently, calmly:
"General manager, can your pursuit be higher?"

Vandeweghe laughed and gave Qin Chong a thumbs up.

"Young people, who is not young and frivolous, Qin, I am optimistic about you!"

"Tomorrow is the day of free agency, if the team can really recruit LeBron James this offseason,"

"I believe that with the cooperation of the two of you, let alone the playoffs, our championship will have a role to play!"

Qin Chong shrank his neck, spread his hands and said:
"General manager, let LeBron come to the Nets to join forces with me, I am afraid there is no chance!"

"Perhaps tomorrow, you will hear a shocking news!"

The next day,

LeBron James made a public and high-profile statement on TV that he will officially bid farewell to Cleveland this summer and bring his talents to Miami.

at the same time,

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have also announced that they have stepped out of their contracts and re-signed with the Miami Heat.

During the 2010 NBA offseason, the hottest news swept the world.

Cavaliers fans in Cleveland burn James' No. 23 jersey
The Miami Heat instantly became public enemy number one for the remaining 29 teams in the league.

the same day,
The New Jersey Nets also launched the second plan,

Send potential center Brook Lopez and guard Devin Harris and a 2011 first-round pick,
Get point guard Deron Williams and [-]-point shooter Kyle Korver from the Utah Jazz.

Afternoon, Continental Arena,
Qin Chong and Yi Jianlian were training on the court, but Brook Lopez rushed in with a furious look on his face:

"Qin, I want to fight you one-on-one!"
