The Godfather of Basketball

The opponent of the men's basketball team in the first game is Spain.

Spain's men's basketball team suffered a double-kill in the last Olympic Games in Beijing. This time they encountered again in the group stage, obviously out of revenge.

Tang Tian watched the broadcast.

Spain's big and small Pau Gasol played together, and Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian of the Chinese team also started both.

Soon after the game started, it fell into a stalemate.

Although Tang Tian did not coach on the spot, he played a vital role in the system he created for the men's basketball team.

The match was in London, and the Chinese team basically played away games, but the mentality of the players was very good.

At this time, Tang Tian discovered that the negative effects of the system were not as great as imagined.

Although Yao Ming's left ankle injury is a hidden danger, it's not a big burden if he doesn't gain weight. Even if Yi Jianlian loses his golf quotient, he will lose his confrontation force in the NBA for so many years.

Guo Shiqiang has practiced in the Cavaliers for many years, and he is also bold in employing people. Guo Ailun and Zhou Qi both came on the bench. Zhou Qi played relatively jerky, but Guo Ailun had a wonderful performance on the offensive end by breaking through Ibaka for a layup, and on the defensive end. He also steals Calder Long's magical performance.

In the decisive stage of the final quarter, relying on Yao Ming's inside 2+1, the men's basketball team narrowly beat Spain 87 to 84, won the first Olympic victory, and completed the triple kill against the Spanish team since the Beijing Olympics.

The men's basketball team played so well that Tang Tian felt very relieved.

However, in addition to the men's basketball team, he is also observing Ibaka, who will focus on training in the new season.

Ibaka's shot blocking is very good, and his defense awareness is also very good, but the confrontation and the protection of the basket are not interesting. It seems that there are many places to be strengthened.

The Olympics are still going on, but Tang Tian's eyes have temporarily withdrawn from the Olympics and turned to the basketball school.

The location of the school has been determined. It is located on a hill in the suburbs of Shanghai. With the cooperation of the government department, it will be completed by this time next year. The enrollment work has also begun, and all of them strictly follow the standards stipulated by Tang Tian.

It takes a month to complete these preparations, which is already quite efficient.

It was already mid-August at this time, and Tang Tian was planning to return to the United States in a while.

Before the groundbreaking ceremony, Tang Tian held a celebration party at the hotel to thank everyone for their hard work in the past month.

Tang Tian also made an exception and drank some wine.

After drinking for three rounds, You Xuele came to talk to Tang Tian.

"Coach Tang Tian, ​​here, let me toast you. Your contribution to the men's basketball team is really admirable."

"After I leave, the rest of the work will be handed over to you people who do practical things."

"Sure, come, drink."

You Xuele drank it all in one gulp, and Tang Tian took a small sip.

"I know that the coach has a very large company in the United States, with a market value of tens of billions (RMB). I wonder if he has ever thought of acquiring the CBA?" You Xuele suddenly whispered after drinking.

"Buy the CBA team?" Tang Tian was not drunk at all, and what You Xuele said immediately aroused his interest.

"Yes, the CBA environment was not good before, and all the teams were reducing expenses, but now the men's basketball team is playing well, and the market atmosphere is improving. If you invest in a wave, there should be good returns." You Xuele said He lowered his voice at the time, as an official, he was not suitable to talk about this, but what Tang Tian did, he couldn't help but want to talk about it.

Tang Tian didn't speak, but his mind was spinning quickly.

The CBA at this time is indeed developing rapidly as You Xuele said. The men's basketball team won the bronze medal in the Beijing Olympics, and with the addition of JR Smith and Wilson Chandler from the NBA suspension last year, the CBA The cake of the market is even bigger than that of the previous life.

"The market is so good, why are they selling the team?" Tang Tian continued to ask.

This is a very critical question. Even if he intends to buy, at least someone must be willing to sell. After all, a business is only a business if there is buying and selling.

"Of course there are people selling it. Although the market is improving, most teams are operating at a loss. If it weren't for the government's policy support, many people would not be able to play. Let's be honest, in fact, the league has made money in recent years. The top teams." You Xuele continued.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, but he understood after thinking about it.

After all, the level of the CBA is a little bit worse, and the domestic economy is definitely much worse than that of the United States. There will not be too many people watching the game, especially those weak teams. It is estimated that selling tickets every day is enough for those bosses.

"I think it should be very convenient for you to do this, coach. Think about it, any NBA player who comes to the CBA is a big name, and if it is eliminated by the coaching team, the popularity will be higher. When the foreign aid is settled, the market appeal will be stronger. Definitely strong." You Xuele continued.

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

This is actually, think about the Rockets players in the previous life, Landry, Scola, and Yao Ming have retired for many years. When they retire and come to the CBA, they are still very popular. This is the so-called recognition.

Take the Cavaliers players from the past two years as an example. He was on the same team as Yao Ming, and those members of the team must be known by all domestic fans. If they come to play in the CBA, their influence will only be greater than in their previous lives.

The same is true for this year's Thunder team. Even if the person signed in the preseason is finally cut, he must be more recognized than ordinary foreign players.

"Thank you Mr. You for your suggestion." Tang Tian thought so, but felt that this proposal was really good.

"Where there, coach, if you can enter the CBA, it will definitely be of great benefit to the Chinese basketball market."

The two had another drink, and this time Tang Tian also drank it down in one gulp.

After the celebration was over, Tang Tian was a little drunk, and Anna helped him back to the hotel room to rest.

When she woke up the next day, Anna had already prepared hangover tea in advance, and this assistant was very good at taking care of others.

When he was almost sober, Tang Tian immediately asked Anna to call everyone from the company to his room.

Yesterday, You Xuele's proposal was very good. The value of the CBA team has actually increased very quickly. Take Yao Ming's acquisition of the Shanghai team as an example. It cost 30 million yuan, and it was sold for 500 million yuan a few years later.

Buying at this time will only be cheaper than Yao Ming in his previous life, and as long as there is no problem with the capital chain, he will definitely make a steady profit without losing money. After all, the development of the domestic economy is far faster than that of the United States.

After confirming the acquisition, the next step is the target.

This is actually quite troublesome. If you simply acquire a weak team, it will develop very slowly, but a team with a good market may not necessarily be easy to acquire.

However, these people in the company are professional in this area after all, and after a wave of discussions, they quickly came up with a plan.

It is not necessary to acquire all the shares in the acquisition. The first step is to become a major shareholder. The original major shareholder has less investment, but if they can get dividends together, the resistance will definitely not be so high.

Countermeasures were discussed, and acquisition targets were also discussed along the way.

Finally, the target was locked on the Liaoning team.
