In the remaining time of the game, the Wizards began to exert their strength, and finally won the 11-point margin of Green Kai with a score of 101:90.
This point difference is actually acceptable to Pitino. Facing a team like the Wizards, with the strength of their Green Kai team, not losing by 20 points is actually considered a blessing.
The generals came off the field, surrounded by Snow and cheered around the field, and the fans at the scene also gave the fiercest applause.
"How on earth did you do that, kid?"
"A random trade for a shabby player, and he actually had a quadruple-double in his debut?"
"When all Sonics fans know the news tomorrow, old George Karl will definitely suffer the same consequences."
Unseld laughed and said, no matter whether Snow was unlucky in tonight's game, he already had a quadruple-double and he has become a legendary player.
It originally seemed that the Wizards' deal with the Sonics was clearly a profit for the Sonics, because Childs' value was obviously much higher than Snow's.
However, after the four-doubles, the situation reversed, and Snow's value skyrocketed.
Not only are SuperSonics fans angry, Philadelphia 76ers fans must also be upset. Originally, this quadruple-double should have been born at their Philadelphia home court.
"By the way, do you really want to get rid of this DJ?" Unseld asked again.
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, give him another chance, but at least you have to make him realize that he made a mistake, otherwise we may not have such good luck next time something like this happens again. "
Unseld patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have a good heart."
…
Snow's favorability task has been completed, and his favorability has increased to 90 points.
Lin Yu is now waiting for Daba's family to arrive in Washington quickly, so that he can harvest Daba's favorability.
In the next game against the Hornets, Lin Yu did not let Snow start again this time. Instead, he sent out a trio of Kobe Bryant, Jaylen Rose and Peja. After all, the Hornets still have some strength and should pay more attention to it.
Not long after the game started, Kobe got a steal. He was so happy that he couldn't help but wonder if Snow's miracle would be replicated on him.
However, after the first quarter, he only scored two steals. This was the effect of Lin Yu putting the dynamic force field on him.
Of course, Kobe's defense is nothing to say. He is one of the top players in NBA history. However, his stealing ability is not very good. He only averaged 2 steals per game in one season in his career. Compared with Iverson, who averaged 2 steals in 11 seasons in his career, it must be Not enough to see.
Of course, it’s not that Kobe’s defense is bad. His defense focuses on compressing space and does not give opponents comfortable shooting opportunities. However, Iverson’s defense can only make gambling steals. So having more steals does not mean that the perimeter defense is good. It certainly does not. As for some people saying that Iverson's defense is better than Kobe's.
Even with the blessing of "Dynamic Force Field", Kobe's own steal attributes are not high, so naturally there is no chance to repeat the four-double.
In this game against the Hornets, the Wizards won another big victory at home.
The last time the Wizards lost was against the Hawks half a month ago, and before they knew it, the Wizards had won eight games in a row.
On Thursday morning, Lin Yu specifically asked Weber to borrow a large car, and then drove the bus to the airport to pick up his family.
"Ding, Monk-Bartelle's favorability has increased. The current favorability is at the full value of 100 points."
"The host successfully defeated a player and was rewarded with 1 charm point. The current charm value is 30 points."
"Congratulations to the host. Every time the charm value increases by 5 points after 10 points, the current charm value is 30 points. The system will provide three random rewards, and the host can choose one of them."
"Reward ①: 50 million US dollars, directly deposited into the host's bank account."
"Reward ②: Master-level camera skills."
"Reward ③: Strength attribute increased by 3 points."
Lin Yu looked shocked. Can this charm reward really improve the player's related attributes? It's a pity that I am getting older every year, so how can I still be a player.
Fifty million U.S. dollars was less than the 80 million U.S. dollars Lin Yu expected. Originally, Lin Yu thought it was an increase of 1,248, but he didn't expect it to be different. The highest charm value reward might be 50 million U.S. dollars.
But it's not a lot. If Lin Yu only earns such a large amount of money by being a coach, he doesn't know how much he can earn in the Year of the Monkey.
After sending Daba and his family to the apartment, Lin Yu took his luggage and left. He then found a place to stay for a few days, let Daba live in the apartment, and then bought a new house for himself.
As soon as he drove to the door of the club, Lin Yu received a call from Old Irving.
"Boss, I'm done. The team is going to lay off me." Old Irving's desperate voice came from the other end of the phone.
He still has three children to raise. The youngest Owen is less than five years old. Without his financial source, his future life will be very difficult.
"Huh? What happened? Dre, please take it easy."
"Mr. Unseld informed you?" Lin Yu told Old Owen not to worry, he was anxious to death.
He already had an ominous premonition in his heart, and it was probably old Paulin who did it.
Irving Sr.'s contract is actually not big, with a maximum salary of 150,000 US dollars, but boss Paulin must be thinking about saving a little bit, and 150,000 US dollars is still money.
Not long after the season started, Pauline Sr. took action against Irving.
"No, it was Mr. Paulin who called me personally. He was willing to provide me with a 50% buyout fee."
"Boss, what should I do now?" Old Owen also had no idea at all.
During the team's family day, Lin Yu promised him that he would be given a decent guaranteed contract by the end of the season.
If the old Irving is really laid off, then Lin Yu will not be able to see the old Irving in the future.
"When you come to the club, follow me to meet Mr. Unseld first." Lin Yu said coldly. He didn't know whether Paulin just wanted to save tens of thousands of dollars, or whether he wanted to make Lin Yu look bad. After all, old Irving Lin Yu personally recruited him into the team. Even though he couldn't play, Lin Yu still didn't kick him out of the team roster. Obviously Lin Yu admired the old Irving.
Anyway, no matter what the reason is, Lin Yu can't stand it. As the owner of a team, he has to dig out tens of thousands of dollars? And if the reason is to make Lin Yu look bad, then Lin Yu can't let Paulin go.
Half an hour later, Lin Yu led Old Owen into Unseld's office.
"What's wrong? Someone in the family has died? His expression is so ugly?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't have family." Unseld asked curiously, still not talking as well as before.
Lin Yu sat down and told Paulin that he wanted to lay off the old Irving.
Unseld was also angry. He is the general manager of the team. Isn't it his job to lay off people? What kind of thing is it that old Paulin went directly around him to lay off people?
"Lin, what are you going to do? Let me tell you, I am very angry, but there is nothing I can do."
"After all, this team's last name is Pauline, not Unseld."
Unseld spread his hands. There was nothing he could do against old Paulin. Old Paulin had every right to fire him.
"No, this team will soon have the surname Lin."
Lin Yu looked solemn and said something that stunned Unseld and Owen.
What does this mean? Is Lin Yu planning to usurp the throne? But Paulin actually holds 50% of the shares. How can Lin Yu let the Wizards be named Lin?
"What are you going to do? I definitely support you."
"If I need money, I can come up with three million US dollars, which is almost all my net worth." Unseld squinted his eyes and said expectantly.
Old Irving on the side originally wanted to show his support for Lin Yu, but unfortunately after thinking carefully about the use of his support, he couldn't even come up with fifty thousand US dollars.
"No, I don't need your money, old man. Help me contact the other two small shareholders of the Wizards. I want to acquire their equity."
"The sooner the better!"
Lin Yu finally made up his mind to kick Paulin out of the Wizards. To be precise, it couldn't be kicked out of the Wizards, but rather to deprive Paulin of his jurisdiction.
Unseld looked suspicious, "Lin, you want to acquire 20% of their equity, but they are not fools. They will definitely charge a high price, right?"
"You have paid more than 60 million US dollars, do you still have money in your hand?"
"In addition, even if you buy it, your equity is only 50%, which is the same as Paulin."
Lin Yu laughed, "I have plenty of money!"
"As for other things, you don't have to worry about it. I can definitely give you a surprise."
Unseld and Old Owen looked at each other. How many family backgrounds does Lin Yu have? More than 60 million US dollars had been spent, and then he actually said that he had a lot of money?
"Okay, then you guys have a cup of tea and wait while I contact the two small shareholders. They are in Washington and should be here soon."
After Unseld said that, he picked up the phone and started contacting small shareholders.
After waiting for less than an hour, two small shareholders of the Wizards arrived. One was barrister Earl Foreman, and the other was Arnold Huft, an ancient NBA referee.
The referee is actually a minority shareholder of the team. This sounds outrageous, but in ancient times, many outrageous things could happen.
The two of them bought the Wizards together with Paulin in 1964. At that time, Paulin paid more money, so he held 80% of the shares, and they each owned 10%.
"Acquire our equity? Lin, what do you want to do?"
Barrister Forman asked with a frown. The first thought in his mind was that Lin Yu wanted to be the real talker of the Wizards.
Heft on the side was full of joy, smiled and said to Lin Yu: "Your acquisition will threaten Abi's status as the major shareholder."
"We've been friends with Abi for decades."
"These are our dear old friends and brothers."
"You have to pay more!"
Forman nodded at the side, saying that if you talk about old friends, they must be fake. They may not be able to see Paulin once a year.
Especially in the past few years, the team has been in a state of loss. If it weren't for the league's subsidies, they would even have to put money into the team.
"I bought 25% of the shares from Pauline for 50 million. You should have heard about it."
"How about I pay 45 million for 20% of the equity between the two of you?"
The quotation given by Lin Yu shocked Unseld again, as if the US dollars in Lin Yu's mouth were worth less than toilet paper.
Forman and Huft looked at each other, obviously not very satisfied with the price. The Wizards are too hot this season and have every hope of winning the championship.
"55 million, it can't be any less. In fact, if we wait until the Wizards win the championship before selling it, we will definitely get a higher price." Forman said solemnly.
Lin Yu laughed, "Win the championship? It's up to me whether I can win the championship. If I don't want to win the championship, the championship will not belong to the Wizards."
Unseld and the two small shareholders were so shocked that they were speechless. What kind of lunatic is this? Can you still be so threatening?
But Foreman and Huft also know that it seems that Lin Yu has the final say on whether this Wizards can win the championship.
He is the team coach, he wants to lose, no one can stop him.
"50000000!"
"This is my final bottom line. If you two still disagree, please take it back."
Lin Yu frowned and said.
Heft and Foreman lowered their heads and muttered, and after a moment Foreman spoke again.
"52 million, this is also our bottom line. If you agree, we can complete the equity transfer now."
Lin Yu secretly cursed these two people for being greedy. He had just received 50 million, and he had about 3 million US dollars left before. If he agreed to them, he would only have 1 million left.
It's a pity that Lin Yu can't seem to find a reason to refuse them. He wants to completely control the Washington Wizards too much.
"good!"
Lin Yu made a decision.
Unseld's eyes almost popped out behind him. Is there any mistake? After working hard all his life, he saved three million US dollars.
What on earth do you, Lin Yu, do and have a family? You just gave away the two million.
About an hour later, Lin Yu signed an equity transfer agreement with Forman and Heft, and checks were also signed to the two of them, each of whom was given 26 million.
The two of them were in a good mood. When they bought the Wizards, they only paid 100,000 US dollars, and now it has become 26 million!
After the two left, Unseld still didn't recover.
"So, you are my boss now?" Unseld felt like he was in a dream. Lin Yu was a fired scout half a year ago, and he was still an unorganized one, and now he is his own boss!
Lin Yu shook his head, "No, there is still one last step to go. I need a share of gold!"
"What does one share of gold mean?" Unseld had never heard of such advanced financial vocabulary before and asked quickly.
Lin Yu explained patiently.
Now he and Paulin both hold 50% of the shares, which means they both have the same say in the team, and no one can do anything about the other.
Many partnership companies are in a similar situation. The two partners share the equity equally and will reach a deadlock when disagreements arise.
At this time, if you find someone whom both parties trust and buy an almost negligible amount of equity for $1, you can break the difference. This is the so-called golden share.
"You are definitely not a simple guy. Do you know this kind of thing?"
"Your family is a financial giant, right? No wonder you are so rich. Damn it, why am I not as lucky as you? My father and grandfather were both black slaves!" Unseld said angrily.
"No, where can you find someone you and Paulin can trust? You will definitely not be able to trust the person he is looking for, and he will definitely not be able to trust the person you are looking for."
Lin Yu waved his hand and said confidently: "David Stern!"
"Even if Paulin can't trust Stern, how dare he say a word no?"
Unseld is going crazy, what the hell is going on? Why does Lin Yu's tone sound like he is an old acquaintance with Stern? Is he sure that Stern will mix up the Wizards' troubled waters?
"Boy, no, boss, are you familiar with Stern?"
Lin Yu nodded, "He asked me for something. I asked him to do this small favor. He shouldn't refuse, right?"
…
After Lin Yu left the general manager's office, Unseld pinched his thigh. He felt that the world was too unreal.
