"Really?"
Shen Xiao thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Patrick Ewing's request."Get Ewing to report to the team in advance, it's best if he comes in mid-August.”
"Okay, I'll call back.”
I don't believe that so many NBA stars will personally teach Howard the way to play back and feint, and his inside game skills will improve.
At that time, Nash would cooperate and send out accurate passes. Even if it was eating pancakes, it would be easy.
The next day, Shen Xiao found Mo Lei and expressed his wish to renovate the stadium.
Mo Lei blinked his eyes, thinking that he had misheard. He hurriedly asked,“what？B-Boss, you want to renovate the stadium? Are you kidding me?"
"Of course not. Do you know that the local construction company has renovated our home ground and added some seats to the original base?”
Shen Xiao raised his hands and kept describing his thoughts.
"Boss, the regular season starts in two and a half months. I'm worried that we won't have enough time to renovate it at this time.”
"It's just adding infrastructure and hardware. He tore down a few boxes and added some seats for the fans. This way, we can sell more tickets.”
"Besides, I think we can do it in the players 'locker room. An LCD TV was added. If there was space…a massage chair could also be placed. It allowed the players to play at home in the most comfortable way!”
Shen Xiao spread out his hands and spoke clearly, expressing his thoughts.
"I'm going to spend 50 million euros to renovate the stadium. He had to be fast! We also have to ensure the quality." Shen Xiao patted Mo Lei's arm and instructed.
"Okay, I'll contact the local construction and renovation companies.”Mo Lei was already a little numb. When he looked at Shen Xiao, he thought of his former boss, Alexander.
One was stingy! The other was extremely generous and extravagant!
They were both billionaires. Why was the difference so huge?
"Hi, Shen. I heard that you bought the NBA Cavaliers. Do you want to sell me the naming rights of the home stadium?”Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, personally called Shen Xiao and went straight to the point.
"Name sponsorship? How much a year? Jeff, I won't do it if it's too little.”Shen Xiao revealed a bright smile on his face as he teased.
"How can it be less? You are the third largest shareholder of the company. How about this, 200 million USD for 10 years!!”Jeff was indeed generous enough to ask for 200 million.
"Alright, come and sign the contract personally. I'll get the lawyer from the legal department to look over the contract personally.”
"Okay, it's refreshing." Jeff hung up.
Then, Shen Xiao walked down from the office and came to the training hall. He heard a swoosh!
It was the sound of a hollow net.
"Coach." Masingotat was holding a tire with both hands and doing deep squat fitness training.
"Work hard and train hard, Ma Xin. You have to eat nutritious meals too.”Shen Xiao greeted with a gentle smile on his face.
"Williams, James, come over here!”
Shen Xiao walked to the half-court and waved at the two people who were learning the Dream Steps from Olajuwon.
"Hi, Shen. How are you going to play in the new season?”
James held a basketball in each hand and dribbled as he ran over.
"I was just about to tell you. I'm going to help you build an air connection city!”Shen Xiao raised a finger on his right hand and said shockingly.
"Sky Connecting City? what？”James couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"It's very simple.”
Shen Xiao quickly ran to the paint area on the opposite side of the court and pointed at himself."Let's say I'm a power forward and I'm on a fast counterattack. It'll be a two-on-one between the point guard, Nash, and you…or Howard.”
"When you guys advance quickly and reach the three-point line, you'll be able to reach the three-point line. Nash throws the ball high above the basket, and you jump straight up and dunk it.”
"That sounds great. However, Shen. For the number one position, he needed to be able to pass the ball accurately!”
After hearing this, James's eyes lit up and he immediately expressed his opinion.
"That's why I traded for Steve Nash. He's a top-notch point guard with a wide vision and a ghostly passing skill. The most important thing was that the ball had arrived.”
"With your jumping ability, you can definitely reach it. I never had to worry about this.”Shen Xiao gave James a thumbs up, revealing his big white teeth.
"But Steve didn't come. It's still the offseason."
"Then let Mo Williams cooperate with you.”
"In order to enhance the combat effectiveness, Bale, come over and defend Williams. Step by step, press forward, but don't hit someone to foul, and don't block a foul.”
"Williams, you have to throw the ball out under Bale's defense.”
Shen Xiao waved at Rajabel and beckoned him over.
" Phew... Okay, coach." Rajabel wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand, his expression serious.
That was because he was a talent who had been chosen. Compared to others, he cherished the hard-won opportunity more!
Following that, Mo Williams held the ball and quickly came to the front field, preparing to charge into the three-second zone. Lagabel immediately rushed forward and defended closely. His left arm pressed against Williams 'waist and made a very subtle little move, pinching the soft flesh!
Morwilliams frowned and suddenly took a step back. He moved sideways and sped up, instantly passing by Ragaberle.
Rajabel moved sideways and instantly caught up with him. She opened her arms to interfere.
Williams turned his body sideways in mid-air and did a pull action. He threw the ball high up to the top of the backboard and slowly lowered it.
At the same time, James also jumped high into the air.
He stretched out his arm to grab the basketball, and he dunked it into the blue hoop.
It was a little too high. If James had not jumped well, it might have been a mistake!
"Morris, we still have to practice. James had just landed on the ground and looked at his little brother, Mo Williams.
"Sorry, Bale's defense just now made me a little nervous.”
Mo Williams quickly nodded and apologized to the team's manager.
……
The next day, Amazon's founder, Bezos, personally led his team to Orlando to prepare for the signing of the contract.
Shen Xiao let his professional lawyer team look at the 54-page contract for an hour.
"Respected Shen, there are no traps in the contract.”
"Okay, Jeff. I wish us a pleasant cooperation. As for the design of the stadium logo, I will leave it to your internal design team.”
Both parties signed their names on the three copies of the contract.
"Happy cooperation!"
The two of them stood up and shook hands.
…….…….
Then, in August, the entire stadium began a small renovation project with a total investment of 50 million euros.
James, Iguodala, and the others who stayed behind to train in the offseason were invited to Shen Xiao's house. They were going to undergo special training in the private basketball court in the mansion.
That night, Shen Xiao specially cooked four to five Chinese home-cooked dishes for Big Brother, Demonic Beast, and the others to eat with oily mouths.
On August 20th, Shen Xiao specially ordered Mo Lei to hold a press conference.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this press conference is going to be held. We, the Knights of Oakland, have an announcement to make.”
A sports reporter from TNT TV: "Excuse me, Shen. I heard that you put all the meritorious players from last season on the shelves. The outside world is questioning your actions. What do you think about this?"
"Time will prove everything. James was not for sale and was the cornerstone of the Cavaliers.”
"And this season. The Cavaliers will make it to the playoffs.”Shen Xiao's remarks made the reporters marvel. They even felt that he was dreaming!
Last season, a team that was at the bottom of the league was actually going to make wild claims and enter the playoffs!
"Also, from today onwards, our home stadium will be renamed. Change it to Amazon Center!"
"The stadium's title sponsor-Amazon!”
"Shen, can you disclose the title sponsorship fee?”The ESPM reporter stood up and asked.
"Of course not. 200 million USD for 10 years!" Shen Xiao said without stopping until his words were shocking. He raised two fingers and had a smug expression.
The press conference was instantly in an uproar.
Bloody profit! It was an absolute profit!
