Reverse Growth Superstar

Robert Pera, unlike most greasy entrepreneurs, this billionaire is now only 35 years old. And in terms of appearance, he was younger than his actual age, and his body was well managed, and he didn't stand up his big belly.

This is mainly due to Pera's hobby, basketball. Pella goes to the court four or five times a week. Born in Los Angeles, he has the same fascination with basketball as other kids. In addition to the computers and the Internet that make him rich, basketball is his favorite.

Pella joined the famous Apple Company in 2003 and became a hardware engineer. But in two years, he found that this was not the only way to success. So in 2005, Pella left Apple and began to look for investment opportunities related to wireless network technology. In March of that year, he took out all his savings at the time, as well as the cash overdrawn through credit cards, and pooled $30,000 to establish his own company.

Pella's act of overdrafting a credit card to collect $30,000 to start a company was regarded as a desperate risk. But he was quite proud of it. He quickly discovered opportunities, and then put a clear and concise effort in the right direction, which is Pella's life creed.

Therefore, when he discovered that the Grizzlies could go further, he loved basketball and decided to take action.

On April 6, the Grizzlies, who had just played back-to-back-to-back games, took a day off and returned to their home court to continue their regular season trip. Today, the Grizzlies' opponent is the defending champion Dallas Mavericks who are struggling on the edge of the playoffs.

The Dallas Mavericks last year's championship was extremely gold, but they are also likely to become one of the worst defending champions in NBA history.

This game is highly anticipated, and Grizzlies fans will enjoy the team's revenge. But at this time, the current owner of the Grizzlies sitting in the luxury box, Michael Heisley, did not have time to scrutinize the game because he ushered in a very important guest.

"The Federal Express Arena is really great. I saw a portrait of Elvis outside. People say that this is the most literary arena in the entire league, and it really deserves its reputation." Next to Heisley, the young Robert Pella expressed his love for the Federal Express Arena.

"Indeed, this arena has always been underestimated. In fact, its facilities are quite luxurious. By the way, Mr. Pera, you should have seen my offer." Michael Heisley saw the game officially started, so he did. The preliminary negotiations between him and Pella officially began.

"I've seen it. You are asking for 377 million. To be honest, this price scares away many buyers." Pella stared at the stadium while talking to Heisley.

Last year, the American media estimated that the value of the Grizzlies team was about 269 million U.S. dollars, which was only higher than the Bucks in the NBA, ranking 29th and second lowest in the league.

However, who knows, the Grizzlies, who had been silent for a long time, reached the Western Conference finals, and this year they maintained their top three spots in the Western Conference. Therefore, Heisley also increased the selling price.

However, in the eyes of most people, spending nearly $400 million to win the Memphis Grizzlies is still not worthwhile. This is why Heisley's plan to sell the team has not been smooth.

"So, does this offer scare you away?" Heisley asked with interest.

"If I was scared away, I would not sit here now."

"Hahaha, it seems you really want to be in the basketball industry, Mr. Pella. But basketball is not that easy. Running a team is not as simple as getting 10 players to play." Heisley Although I really want to shoot the team quickly, I don't want my team to fall into the hands of unreliable people. After all, the Grizzlies are also his work.

Therefore, he carefully reminded Pella that it is not easy to run the team.

However, Pella nodded firmly, "Thank you for reminding, Mr. Heisley. I think I'm ready. By the way, are there any other requirements from the league?"

Hayesley paused. He didn't expect Pella to answer so readily, "Uh...The requirement from the league is that you must not move the Grizzlies out of Memphis within 15 years. You know. , The league is afraid that all teams will gather in big cities."

"Really? Hahaha, I have no plans to move the team. It seems that we can communicate in depth." Pella promised all the conditions, he was determined to win the Grizzlies.

But for now, he wants to put aside the acquisition of the team. It’s a rare occasion to come to the Federal Express Arena. If you don’t take a good look at the future cornerstone of the team, it would be a shame...

Nowitzki turned over to shoot a jumper. Last year, in this case, he could score the ball nine times out of ten. But this time, in Randolph's interference, Dirk missed a shot!

"Nowitzki failed to score the ball, Gasol got the rebound, and the Grizzlies got the opportunity to continue to expand the score!"

After halftime, Conley directly broke through the "mad" Deronty West. Kidd was injured and the Mavericks had to play the starting position with West, who had always been mentally abnormal. However, this guy seems to be wandering on the basketball court again.

Seeing this, the Mavericks' defense contracted, and their starting center, Brandon Haywood, jumped up as Conley took off.

As everyone knows, Conley is not attacking the frame, just passing the ball after the jump.

Link, who broke through Marion from the side and cut into the penalty area, directly dunks after receiving the ball. The Grizzlies attacked easily.

On the side of the court, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle shook his head helplessly.

If it were placed last year, Nowitzki would never miss the shot just now.

Even if he missed it, Kidd last year would not let Conley break so easily.

Even if it is broken, Tyson Chandler, who guards the inside line, will not be deceived so easily, and Marion will not be thrown away so easily.

But now, only a year later, everything has changed. The ones who are absent are gone, and the decline has declined. The Grizzlies were eliminated by the Mavericks last year, but this year, the Mavericks could not breathe.

After this ball, the Grizzlies took an 8-point lead in the last 30 seconds. Although in theory, the Mavericks still have a chance. But as far as the situation is concerned, the Mavericks are already powerless.

"A beautiful victory~www.readwn.com~ The Grizzlies were not discouraged after losing to the Thunder in the last game, but quickly adjusted. Today, at home, they played at their level. Link 24 He scored 6 rebounds and 8 assists, made 9 of 15 shots and shot 60%. In the last game, Link was not as efficient as usual due to physical reasons. But today, he has undoubtedly recovered his best form."

The game is about to end, and as usual, Hubby Brown inevitably blows to Link.

Since Guy was injured, Link has indeed set an example in every game, and is the team's highest scoring player in every game. Link takes all the difficult offenses.

On this basis, Link's defensive quality, assists and rebounds have not declined, which is indeed very valuable.

In the end, the Mavericks lost to the Grizzlies 98 to 104 away. So far, the Grizzlies have become the fourth team in the league to win their 40th game in a shrinking season after the Thunder, Spurs and the East Bulls.

In an interview after the game, when asked by reporters, "Do you have the confidence to win the next game against the Clippers, the direct competitor on the rankings," Link's answer was also very much like a leader.

"We will do our best to keep the top three in the West. The most important thing for us now. My teammates and I are eager to fight, and we will come up with the best condition."

"Signing Link is the most correct thing you have ever done, Mr. Heisley." Looking at Link being interviewed on the court, Robert Pera smiled with satisfaction.

He believed that one day, Hardaway would see the value of that guy.

If nothing else, Pella thinks he can officially take over the Grizzlies this summer, and then, just in time for the offseason, he can do a good job.

Pella was already a little impatient and wanted to start his drastic reforms.
