This Forward is Not Serious

How rich is Ballmer?

As early as 2006, his personal assets on the Forbes rankings had reached 13.6 billion U.S. dollars.

Among them, 10 billion are his shares in Microsoft.

Of course, it is now 2010, and his assets must have increased.

This is background one, Ballmer has this ability.

How much does Ballmer love basketball?

It's really hard to imagine a boss with tens of billions of assets supporting the team almost every game. Ballmer is such a special case.

After he acquired the Clippers in history, he was even more crazy than Mark Cuban.

This is an authentic basketball fan.

This is background two, Ballmer has this will.

And then the biggest problem now is that Ballmer is still the CEO of Microsoft.

If he wants to buy the Knicks, then he is bound to sell his Microsoft stock.

This also means that his departure from Microsoft has entered the countdown.

This is obviously a decision that requires a lot of courage.

But Ballmer did. This may be the judgment of top businessmen.

Judging from the eyes of Lin Ying, the market value of his crossing the former Knicks is close to 6 billion, and it was only more than ten years since then.

This will definitely be a trade that will never lose money.

All in all, the killing of Ballmer, a Microsoft bigwig, made the Knicks' farce finally come to an end.

Although Dolan did not expect that someone would actually spend 2 billion to acquire a team, this result is barely acceptable to him now.

After all, in essence, he is a businessman. He doesn't play NBA anymore. With this money, he can invest in other teams, such as nfl, which is also a good choice.

And you have to know that he only spent 30 million when he bought the Knicks in 1997. Now it has only been 13 years, and it has increased by nearly 70 times.

Although this is not as large as the historical proportion of Sterling buying 12.5 million and selling 2 billion, Sterling also bought it 14 years earlier.

At this time, the happiest ones are definitely the fans of the Knicks and the players of the Knicks.

Dolan finally got out of the Knicks!

They also ushered in the presence of Paul Allen, the owner of the Blazers.

And a boss who is willing to spend 2 billion on an NBA team, even if he doesn't know Ballmer, would you say that such an owner has no love for basketball?

I don’t love it, don’t you do other things with this money?

For example, make a regular deposit in the bank! 【funny】

Lin Ying was also a little surprised when she saw the news.

As the previous analysis said, Ballmer will acquire the Clippers in history because he had already stepped down from the position of Microsoft CEO.

But now that I still work like this, I can only say that I love to add a business perspective.

And this is not good news for other teams in the league.

Originally there was Dolan, and the prospects of the Knicks' Big Three were uncertain. For example, Dolan was blindly interfering in management transactions, or didn't want to spend more on strengthening role players.

But Ballmer is completely different, this guy is very willing to throw money.

There may not be much room for the Knicks to operate this year, but what about next year, or the year after?

The prototype of a Knicks basketball empire can already be seen!

So from this perspective, he can be regarded as a very powerful opponent for himself.

Hey, this is how things are in this world!

If you can control everything and everything goes as you wish, it is not a man, but a god.

And this is not necessarily a bad thing. The reason why basketball is passionate is to defeat one after another seemingly impossible opponents?

Just like the Suns winning the championship last season, turning the impossible into possible is what makes people excited!

...

In a blink of an eye, Christmas is approaching.

The impact of the Knicks change is still continuing.

Following the valuation issues mentioned earlier, the valuations of all teams have now risen nearly three or four times over the same period in history.

This is obviously a premium, but just like housing prices, it exists there.

So Stern is also very tricky now, because if it was only 80% of the time it might be shut down in the summer, it has now become 99.9%.

As for the remaining 0.1%, you have to consider that the earth exploded and the planet destroyed this extreme situation, right?

All in all, this is a mess, far more butterfly effect than Billy King’s not going to the Nets.

Next summer, it will be crazy.

Of course, that will also happen next summer. This season's game has to be played, and the excitement continues.

The annual Christmas War has begun to attract the attention of fans again.

This year's Christmas War has long been awaited by fans.

"The Defending Champion of the Big Three in New York"!

The Knicks just won an eight-game winning streak and have already driven the Bulls from the top of the Eastern Conference.

Poor inside defense and insufficient rotation players are some of the problems exposed by the Knicks in the new season.

But apart from these, this team has almost reached a perfect state.

With the addition of the new boss, he often comes to the scene to watch the game, and the morale is bursting.

The state of the sun has finally recovered.

However, after Nash's return, the state is obviously not as good as at the beginning of the season.

No matter what the reason is, after suffering such a big blow, it is not easy to get out of the psychological barrier.

Lin Ying originally thought that after Nash returned, he could return to the state at the beginning of the season, but this posture can't be returned for the time being.

Only those who can work harder.

Regardless of the background, this game has attracted the highest degree of attention since the start of the game.

"I can't go to spend Christmas with Wanda and the others this year!"

This is what Lin Ying is thinking at the moment.

He was already prepared for playing the Knicks or something.

Even if you don't play the Big Three in New York, you have to play the Big Three in the Heat.

How can we lose the presence of the media in a battle of focus?

The venue of this game is in Madison, where the Knicks wait for their work.

One interesting thing is that there is no press conference on training days.

But no way, the attention of the Big Three in New York is too great.

So since the start of the new season, they sometimes have press conferences on training days.

On days like the Christmas War, this is naturally indispensable.

So the Big Three, wearing training clothes, were interviewed by media reporters at the press conference.

That piece of darkness under the stage, this is New York!

As the head star of the Knicks, James is naturally the most questioned by reporters.

"Will you be the Avengers tonight?"

The reporter's question is very informative.

James was swept by the Suns in the Cavaliers last season, and the Suns put the crying emoji on the front of the parade team.

If you want to say that James has no hatred with the sun, that would be too non-human.

"I will be Iron Man."

James' answer is surprising, it is more standard than the standard answer.

Marvel is relying on the Iron Man fire, this year Iron Man 2 also set off a new round of movie watching climax.

New Yorkers love to watch Super British movies the most.

James not only responded perfectly to this wave, but also voted for New Yorkers' favorites. There is really no better answer than this.

And after that, he added a paragraph very seriously.

"I am now a member of the Knicks. The past is the past for me. I just want to work hard to win games for this city."

What a perfect basketball player! Impeccable!

Then, the famous scene came.

"Are you going to win the first championship trophy of your career here?"

The reporter obviously followed his words, but dug another hole.

After all, in a strict sense, this Christmas battle has a relationship with the champion!

But perhaps it was his performance so far this season that gave him a lot of confidence. He faced reporters and said something he would say at this point in time:

"I want to bring 7 championships to New York!"

What this means is, not one, but seven!

As for why there are 7? The ghost knows it!

Maybe it's because I haven't had a championship in Cleveland for 7 years. I think the Big Three in New York can make up for what they lost in the previous 7 years?

no one knows.

But after this sentence was uttered, the reporters below were agitated.

Bosh beside him couldn't help but laugh.

It was Wade, who smiled and shook his head.

This may be the impact that everyone experiences differently.

Bosh has not experienced a real championship road.

And Wade already has a championship, he knows how difficult it will be to win the championship.

The remarks on this game day also caused an uproar.

At this time, less than half a year has passed since Deciding Yi, and James seems to have recovered from the original public opinion.

So the same as the original decision, this has once again become a slot for many fans against James.

On social media, a lot of new fans of the Suns have emerged.

This Christmas battle has become more interesting.

...

When James over there was talking about bringing 7 but not 1 championship to New York, Lin Ying watched the video of the game in the hotel.

However, what is different from the past is that he is not watching the video of his opponent this time, but the video of his past this season.

Even today is not the first time, since Nash came back in poor condition, he has been doing that.

So far, his scoring average this season has broken 20 points for the first time, reaching 21 points.

But just like the best week of the week, a big feature is instability.

He can score close to 40 points in the previous game, or just a dozen points in the next game.

This is also the biggest difference from playing power forward before him.

When playing power forward, low singles is his signature offensive style, which is a combination of Duncan and Barkley's offensive style.

So his performance is very stable.

But now, because of Grover's plan, he needs to start some small forward skills next season.

So his current style of play is very flexible. The opponent is not easy to defend against him, but he lacks some stable scoring means, or something that can be called a killer.

It is certainly not good to continue this state, he has never been the kind of person who can get by.

So he must combine his existing characteristics.

In fact, he already had some ideas, and he started intensive training in the past training.

That includes the hard-hit pivot that he learned and mastered from Kobe in the summer.

After watching the video, Lin Ying lay in bed to rest, letting her brain digest.

After digestion, he unconsciously thinks about the game against the Knicks at night.

This game is very important to the Suns.

It's not just a matter of focus battle, but also team morale.

In general, the Suns' performance this season is much worse than expected.

Although Stoudemire's adjustment struggles and Nash's divorce are all unexpected things, this is also part of the NBA's uncertainty.

If the Suns want to regroup, nothing is more effective than winning the Knicks in the Christmas game.

Of course, this Knicks team is much stronger than the Heat's Big Three in the same period, and it is not so easy to win.

With the heart to win, prepare for difficult battles.

...

That night, Madison Square Garden was full of seats.

There are also many big celebrities in the front row of the auditorium, and unlike many Hollywood stars in Los Angeles, the professions of these big celebrities are also different.

For example, Rihanna, who has always been a fan of James, is better than James' good friend Jay-z and his wife Beyoncé.

You read that right, James is very influential in the black American celebrity circle, and there are often big names to support him on the spot.

Of course, not all.

For example, the new owner of the Knicks sitting on the edge of the bench, the bald boss Ballmer.

Because Ballmer still works for Microsoft, he doesn't go to the Clippers as many times as in history, but there are many!

Basically the team has some important games, he will be there, and he is really passionate, will stand up and cheer for a beautiful goal.

With such a boss, it is entirely reasonable for the Knicks to play better now.

For another example, in the middle of the auditorium, Swift and her friends also came to the scene.

By all accounts, Lin Ying had seen Swift at the Staples Center before.

Of course, in addition to these celebrities, there are more New York fans wearing James jerseys.

The Dolan incident caused a lot of trouble to James at the beginning.

But those are at the level of the team owner, and at the fan level, James's popularity in New York has blown out instead.

Because in a sense, James is the frontline fighter against racial discrimination!

After Lin Ying pulled her gaze back from the auditorium, she felt emotion in her heart.

New York James has much more influence than Heat James!

The scene soon entered the opening ceremony, and when the home team came, the cheering of the fans on the scene was already very harsh.

This is the enthusiasm of New York fans today.

In media reports, it is always said where the fans are the best fans in the league, but this really depends on the team's status.

The Warriors were just ordinary fans in the league before Splash Brothers got up, but with Splash, Bay Area fans were the most enthusiastic.

Before the Suns counterattacked all the way in the playoffs, Phoenix fans are the league's most ardent fans.

The same is true in New York now.

Never before in the history of the Knicks has such a luxurious lineup, not even in two championship seasons.

Coupled with the fact that Dolan finally got out, all the fans felt like it was dawn.

And the performance of the Big Three since the start of the game is completely worthy of the expectations of the fans, who is not fanatical?

For the Suns~www.readwn.com~ this Christmas Eve is very stressful!

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started one after another.

Suns: Nash, Allen, Lin Ying, Frye, Stoudemire

Knicks: James, Wade, Gallinari, Bosh, Gooden

Before the game began, James walked to the technical stage as usual, and the iconic magnesium powder once again ignited the Madison Garden Arena.

And after tossing the magnesium powder, he couldn't help but beat his chest twice with excitement.

I didn't care in front of the media during the day because I couldn't tell.

The fact is, the Suns are now his target of revenge!

Come, bear the emperor's anger!
