The owner of the Lakers is Jerry bass, who started his career in real estate. In 1979, he spent a huge sum of $67.5 million to buy the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings (ice hockey team) and Los Angeles forum arena.

    Under his management, the Laker team was brilliant in the late 1980s. Under the leadership of "Tiangou" Jabbar, "magic" Johnson and James Woxi, they played beautiful games and wonderful cooperation, which made the game simply enjoyable. They were called performance time by the audience!!!

    Three people work together to create a brilliant show time era!

    Unfortunately, veteran Jabbar retired in 1989, Magic Johnson was found infected with HIV, retired in February 1991.

    The Lakers lost two generals one after another. James Woxi was a lone wolf, and the team couldn''t get any good results. He retired a few years later.

    At this moment, the Laker team has fallen into the trough, until O''Neill and Kobe''s OK combination kill all sides, and re create the brilliance of the Laker team!!! But now, it''s the best time to buy the Lakers!

    Henry sent his own professional negotiation team to contact Jerry Buss, intending to buy the Lakers at a high price!

    Los Angeles headquarters.

    Jerry Buss looked at Brad Hansen, the representative of Henry''s negotiation team, and coldly refused: "Mr. Hansen, please tell Henry Williams that I, Jerry Buss, won''t sell the Lakers!"

    After Jerry bass finished, Brad Hansen could not help but frown. He was directly rejected even before he made an offer. Listening to Jerry Bass''s tough tone, he felt a bit tricky. Brad Hansen was silent for a moment, organized a language, said: "Mr. Jerry bass, since 1989, after the retirement of Jabbar, the Laker team is not as good as before, many times missed the championship position. Then Magic Johnson retired sick, is to make the Lakers even worse! Mr. Jerry bass, our boss, Mr. Williams, is willing to spend 600 million dollars on the acquisition of the Lakers. You may as well think about it! "

    "Don''t worry, even if it''s more than 100 million or even 200 million dollars, I won''t sell the Lakers!" Jerry Buss said confidently, "the Lakers are just at a low point for a while. I will let them win the NBA championship again."

    Jerry Buss has deep feelings for the Lakers. In order to develop the team, he hired a Hollywood production team to make the most cool promotional film for the team. He also recruited the most beautiful Cheerleading Girls and invited the most famous sports band in the United States from USC to play for the Los Angeles Lakers, making the Los Angeles game as an entertainment event as well as the Oscar ceremony. He never even spared signing players at a high price, even if he had to pay a high luxury tax!

    Once upon a time, Jerry bass offered 25-year-old "magician" Johnson a huge contract worth 25 million dollars

    Brad Hansen felt helpless when he saw that Jerry bass was so stubborn. He immediately shook his head and said to Jerry bass, "well, Mr. Jerry bass, in that case, I''ll leave!"

    ……

    ……

    Chairman''s office, ABC headquarters building.

    Henry listened to Brad Hansen over coffee. Henry asked, "even at a high price, Jerry bass won''t sell it?"

    "Yes, boss, when Jerry bass talks, he''s very determined. In my opinion, he really doesn''t want to sell the Lakers!" Brad Hansen replied.

    Henry nodded and asked, "is there any other NBA team in Los Angeles?"

    "Yes, the speedboat team. The speedboat team was originally called the Braves, but later it moved to San Diego and was renamed the speedboat team. In 1981, the team changed owners, and Stirling became the owner of the team. In 1984, he moved to Los Angeles. However, this team''s performance is very bad, it can''t get rid of the identity of the fish belly team all the time, and its best performance is only to enter the semi-finals of the division

    "OK, then buy the speedboat team!"

    For Henry, it''s the same with the acquisition of the Lakers or the Clippers. He''s just looking at the ball for convenience, as long as he''s in Los Angeles. As for players, as long as they are willing to spend money, are they afraid they will not be recruited? Salary cap or something, for Henry, like a sham, it''s a big deal to pay a little more luxury tax!

    In order to avoid the appearance of super rich teams, NBA has stipulated a policy: salary cap. That is to say, NBA stipulates the amount of a work cap, so the total salary of all players in a team can''t exceed the salary cap, if it exceeds, they have to pay luxury tax!

    In fact, most teams have exceeded the salary cap, just how much difference!

    Brad Hansen nodded and said, "OK, boss!"

    Stirling is not so stubborn as Jerry bass. When he heard that Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, wanted to buy his own team, his eyes were bright!

    After Brad Hansen talked with him, Stirling agreed to sell the speedboat team to Henry Williams for 200 million dollars!

    When Sterling bought the speedboat team, he spent only $20 million. At that time, the speedboat team was so rotten that it was almost a forgotten team. Even when the share price dropped to $10, no one would care about it. After Stirling''s efforts for several years, although the speedboat team has become a lot stronger, it is still a "tail car"!

    Speedboat team can sell 200 million US dollars, compared with Stirling''s original investment, in general, it made a lot of money!

    Soon, the acquisition agreement was signed.

    The speedboat team was officially included in Henry''s name. Henry first changed the name of the speedboat team to the speedboat team. First, it sounds familiar, and second, it represents the rebirth of the speedboat team!

    Henry Williams became the new owner of the speedboat team and immediately caused a sensation in the industry.

    "NBA top teams will be born soon!"

    "Henry Williams is not bad for money, the city team, the Lakers are under great pressure!"

    The newspaper joked: "at this moment, the owners of the major NBA teams must guard against the players being poached!"

    The owners of the team are nervous. It''s like a wolf. There are usually four ways for NBA players to flow, one is draft, the other is trade between clubs, the third is free player joining, and the fourth is clubs giving up players.

    The transaction between clubs is usually completed in the form of substitution. Of course, it''s OK to pay for it!

    A thousand mile horse is common, but Bole is not.

    There are so many talented players who have gone astray that the club owners are willing to sell some

    In addition, if the Clippers'' treatment is high, the free agent must be close to the Clippers! These free agents either don''t have a contract or they''re out of contract. There are many such free players born in NBA every year“ Shaquille O''Neal became a free agent in 1996 and was poached by Lakers boss Jerry Buss for more than $100 million!

    The Clippers are a bit rotten now and need to bring in better players and coaches. Henry has injected 500 million dollars into the team to bring in talents. However, talent is hard to dig, and the NBA draft in recent years will not be the birth of any awesome characters, until 1996!

    The 1996 NBA draft is one of the most talented in the history of NBA. Many superstars have emerged, known as the "96 golden generation", such as Iverson, Kobe, Marbury, Ray Allen and so on! Henry is most concerned about this generation of draft rookies. You know, it''s very difficult to trade their best players from other NBA teams. So, Henry is more hopeful about the NBA draft.

    In general, after the draft, there will be a player trade between clubs. Before that, Henry can buy some good players as reserves, and then in 1996, a big exchange of blood!!!

    Clippers moved to Los Angeles, in order to save costs, are renting the stadium, this is not in line with the identity of the rich team.

    Henry decided to build the largest stadium in Los Angeles - clipper stadium!

    The original logo of the Clippers was too ugly. Henry said that he couldn''t see it. He immediately ordered people to design a new logo, a spaceship sailing in space, and the shape of the Clippers stadium should be like a spaceship, so as to hang it!

    If the clipper stadium becomes a landmark in Los Angeles, it''s hard for people not to remember it!

    Then, Henry immediately ordered winsom architectural design firm to design according to his own ideas! At the same time, Henry sent people to communicate with the Los Angeles government and try to get their support. After all, it will be very difficult to build a stadium in Los Angeles, California and even the largest stadium in the United States without the support of the government. The land, transportation and other aspects need the cooperation of the government!

    The news spread quickly in Los Angeles and then across the United States.

    "Henry Williams wants to spend a billion dollars to build the largest, most advanced and coolest gymnasium in history - clipper gymnasium. The clipper gymnasium will be designed to imitate the spaceship, which will give people an unparalleled shock

    After countless NBA clubs see the news, they don''t want to be envied. The Laker team in the same city is very embarrassed. The original ugly duckling is going to become a white swan now, and will have such an awesome stadium, which has completely robbed the spotlight of the Laker team. When people mention the basketball team in Los Angeles, they first think of the clippers, not the Laker team

    The mood of the players of the Laker team is the most complicated. It''s very uncomfortable and unbalanced to see that the clippers, who are also in Los Angeles and have been trampled by themselves, will have a better stadium than themselves! Originally, Henry Williams first found his boss, Jerry Buss, and said he wanted to buy the Lakers, but the boss didn''t agree. Otherwise, it would be the Lakers who are in the limelight now, and he would be able to train in such an awesome stadium in the future

    Players can''t help feeling down. Some of them even complain about Jerry Buss in their heart. Why didn''t he sell the Lakers to Henry Williams!

    The morale of the Lakers can''t help falling again and again!

    At the moment, the clippers have the support of the richest man in the world. Many NBA players want to join the Clippers. Some of them even contact the clippers and hope to join them in the future.

    ……

    ……

    After finishing the clippers, Henry sent people to buy American popular sports clubs, such as baseball club, ice hockey club and so on. Only if they accept one, can ESPN have rich sports programs!

    A series of subsequent acquisitions shocked the US media.

    One after another, there are sports clubs bought by Henry, which is dazzling. In order to manage the club, Henry set up Williams sports company.

    The American people read the newspaper and exclaimed that they had fun. Many people discussed which club Henry Williams would buy next time.

    At this time, a news came out, let them stunned.

    ABC TV exclusive report: "at 9 o''clock this morning, Henry Williams officially launched a bid to NFL! Here''s what ABC interviewed Henry Williams about... "

    Rugby is the most popular sport in the United States. It can almost be called "national sport"! NFL, the National Football League of the United States, is a household name in the United States, with great popularity and influence. Henry wants to buy NFL, equivalent to Henry wants to buy China Spring Festival Gala!

    "Oh, my God, Henry Williams is going to buy NFL, which is beyond my imagination!"

    "The sports club has been unable to satisfy his desire, his goal is the star sea!"

    "It''s amazing. I''ve admired him! He''s a giant to be a sports Tycoon

    "Ha ha, it seems that Henry Williams, like me, likes football very much."

    "I just want to ask, how much does it cost to buy NFL?"

    “……”

    At this time, CBS broadcasting company and NBC broadcasting company suddenly smell a bit of crisis, each company''s internal are in a discussion.

    "Henry Williams bought sports clubs in the United States, and now he buys NFL. His purpose is not simple. I''m afraid it''s not just because he likes football. He''s playing a big game of chess!"

    "Yes, don''t forget that he has ABC broadcasting company, he has ESPN sports station, he bought so many clubs and wanted to buy NFL, nothing more than to develop ESPN sports station!"

    "Yes, but we can''t wait to die!"

    "Er... Should we also participate in the acquisition of NFL? Oh, forget it, we don''t have any money

    "Ha ha, although we can''t buy NFL, but... We can stop each other''s acquisition! For example, we sued Henry Williams for monopolizing the sports market

    "Ha ha, that''s right, sue him for Monopoly!"

    “……”

    Two days later, CBS and NBC sued Henry Williams for monopolizing the sports market.

    Representatives of the two companies said: "Henry Williams has bought sports clubs wantonly, and now he wants to buy NFL, which has formed a monopoly. We strongly urge Henry Williams to stop buying NFL of the United States!"

    As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation!
