NBA: Starting CBA system

But now these two Asian beauty sports reporters, who are recognized in the circle, are crowding in front of Jiang Hao and asking questions non-stop.

In addition to Abby Hornacek who was too cute and new to squeeze in at the back and Ma Fanshu who went to interview Duncan, Jiang Hao's reputation as a beautiful reporter could not make everyone envious.

Manu:

"It's good to be single."

Jiang Hao, who returned to the locker room, took the support gift Zhang Yiyuan gave him and smiled awkwardly:

"Hey, the question you asked is not good, it's smelly and long."

Manu:

"As long as people don't stink."

Jiang Hao's popularity with women is no longer limited to reporters.

Except for the female reporter who came to see him at the scene, according to agent assistant Yang Tiantian.

Now the number one fan of Jiang Hao on Instagram and Twitter is also a 17-year-old beauty who is not yet an adult.

Called Kendall Jenner.

Jiang Hao didn't react at first.

It suddenly occurred to me when I saw such a beautiful woman today.

Damn it, isn’t this the little girl of the Kardashian family? She is also the most beautiful woman in the Kardashian family (illustration)

Why doesn't the young Jenna learn how to build a fan base for herself online? ?

This gave Jiang Hao a headache, because this was a member of the Kardashian family, and ordinary people couldn't control it.

He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. He couldn't stop it anyway, so he might as well play hard.

Yang Tiantian also said that she has never been to the event, maybe because of her heavy studies, so she is just organizing fans at the event to collect consecutive seat tickets, wear the same jersey together, and make exquisite Jiang Hao banners to support her.

Moreover, Yang Tiantian blinked and said that the leader of Jiang Hao's domestic fans is also a woman, and she is also a beautiful woman.

After telling the news at that time, all the staff in the brokerage office were shocked.

Because everyone knows it.

Such as the head fan.

As long as you want it, they will definitely pounce on you.

It's just that most of the fan leaders are rich women and aunts, or middle-aged successful men, nouveau riche with lots of money.

It's rare for fan leaders like Jiang Hao to be beautiful.

But in fact, Jiang Hao knew that the deputy leader was Chen Duoling. Obviously they didn't know how good-looking the deputy leader was.

However, he still asked the name of the domestic fan leader.

According to Yang Tiantian, the name seems to be Zhou Yangqing, 24 years old.

This name also gave Jiang Hao a headache. He actually didn't want to deal with the celebrity circle. This woman had a great background and seemed to be the manager of a clothing brand and the founder of a beauty brand.

Now she is definitely an Internet expert who is at the forefront of China's trends. He never expected that his number one fan would be her.

But Yang Tiantian is right:

"Ordinary people can't be your fan leader. This requires not only funds, but also leisure."

"That's right, you should be monitored and don't do bad things."

"Don't worry, I have already joined the core group of fans at home and abroad. Fans who violate laws and regulations will definitely be stopped."

Yang Tiantian is also an Internet expert. Her coming to be Jiang Hao's agent assistant really gives Jiang Hao a lot of energy.

Otherwise, a Chinese international player like him would have a lot of trivial matters, just look at the Arab League.

After returning to China, I never had time to come to the United States. I didn’t even have time to watch the Western Conference Finals.

The day before G1 of the Western Conference Finals.

The Spurs are all headed to Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City welcomes its largest number of tourists this year.

The atmosphere on both sides was tense to the extreme.

Because the away hotel arranged by the Thunder for the Spurs was downgraded compared to the regular season and was changed to an unknown hotel.

Not to mention, in the hot summer, the air conditioners in several rooms were broken.

And with the efficiency of American air-conditioning repair workers, when they came to repair it, even G2 was outperformed.

This led Spurs boss Holt to directly criticize Thunder boss Bennett on social media for being unreasonable:

"In an energy arena, you are reluctant to add CFC to the air conditioner?"

As the Thunder general manager insinuated that the Spurs had failed to achieve anything in draft trades in recent years, RC Buford also became angry. He said a long paragraph on social media. To sum up, he said:

“When drinking water, don’t forget the person who drew it!”

Although the Thunder and Spurs have no record of playing against each other in the playoffs, the Thunder are also a pure newcomer.

But there are too many grievances and disputes between the two sides, from the boss to the management.

In fact, the players on both sides didn't say much harshly before the game because there really wasn't much to talk about. But whenever they met once in the playoffs, both sides would be able to talk a lot before the game.

Rather than the media having to rely on players from both sides to debate what kind of defense is top-notch to make news.

But the bosses on both sides are really different.

Tensions were immediately tense before the game, and all the old stories were brought out by the media.

Even when Jiang Hao was being interviewed in Oklahoma City, reporters asked him what he thought of Bennett. Jiang Hao pretended to be confused:

"I don't know, I don't understand. I'm new to the Spurs."

But in fact, he had already read it on the news.

Thunder owner Clayton Bennett bought the SuperSonics in 2006 and later moved to Oklahoma City and changed its name to the Thunder, but before that Clayton Bennett had been one of the shareholders of the Spurs. .

Clayton Bennett and his wife are both from Oklahoma. They have been lovers since high school. His wife is the daughter of billionaire Edward Lewis Gaylord, the founder of the American media giant Gaylord business empire. Bennett later became one of the core figures of the Gaylord family.

In 1993, when former Spurs owner McCann sold the Spurs, General Robert F. McDermott, president of the USAA Group in the San Antonio area, joined several investors to buy the Spurs. Holt and Clayton Bennett were among them, and Clayton Bennett initially owned more shares than Holt.

By 1996, the Spurs' home stadium, the Alamodome, had become old and even leaked easily when it rained. The attendance rate of the stadium continued to decline, and the team also suffered losses.

Shareholders began to discuss how to reverse the losses of the Spurs and find a way out. Bennett proposed a plan to move the Spurs out of San Antonio, painted a bright future, and began to acquire the shares of other small shareholders.

Holt, who loves the San Antonio Spurs madly, firmly opposes Bennett's proposal. In order to keep the Spurs in the San Antonio Spurs, he showed his courage and took a risky move by mortgaging his family business to obtain a loan based on his experience as a bank investor in California after retirement. He also raised other capital and joined other local shareholders to join the battle for team shares.

Although McDermott was not completely sure whether Holt could guarantee the Spurs to stay in the San Antonio Spurs for a long time, he was still moved by Holt's efforts as a local of the San Antonio Spurs. He sold the second largest single share of the Spurs, the shares of the USAA Group, to Holt and gave him the position of chairman of the board of directors of the Spurs.

The determination and actions shown by Holt in leading the San Antonio Spurs made Bennett feel that the situation was over, so he also sold most of his shares to Holt as a favor, and has remained in the Spurs as a small shareholder since then.

Everyone knows what happened next. The Spurs won the No. 1 pick in 1997 and selected Duncan, opening a glorious era.

After winning the first championship in the team's history in 1999, Holt persuaded the local community and obtained financial grants from the local government to build a new home for the team - the current AT\u0026T Center, which was put into use in 2002.

Bennett was completely silent during this period.

Clayton Bennett and the Gaylord family of Oklahoma never gave up the idea of ​​building an NBA team for their hometown of Oklahoma. In 2006, they finally withdrew their investment from the Spurs and bought the SuperSonics for $350 million.

Afterwards, after a series of lawsuits, Bennett paid Seattle another $75 million and agreed to leave the SuperSonics name, logo and colors in Seattle, and the championship trophy, flag and their retired jerseys were placed in a local museum.

In 2007, the SuperSonics were successfully moved to Oklahoma City and renamed Thunder!

So the Thunder owner is still very capable, and he built an NBA team in the location of his own industry.

In fact, if it was just Bennett, the Spurs would not be so angry. It is equivalent to an employee going out to start a business alone. Support is enough. The employee's awesomeness also makes the boss awesome.

But poaching is not authentic.

When Bennett withdrew his investment from the Spurs, he took away many talents including Presti from the Spurs to serve as the backbone of the management and coaching staff of the Supersonics (Thunder).

Half of the Spurs were emptied at once!

It means that the Thunder now is basically the credit of the old Spurs!

Presti, the best manager familiar to fans in later generations, was the vice president and assistant general manager of the Spurs at the time, and is now the general manager of the Thunder.

In Jiang Hao's opinion, if he was still in the Spurs, the Spurs might be even more awesome.

After graduating from college, Presti met the then Spurs general manager RC-Buford at a basketball training camp in Aspen, Colorado, which attracted the latter's attention and entered the Spurs as an intern to participate in management work.

In 2000, Presti started as an intern in the Spurs, and then was promoted to scout and assistant general manager in just 5 years.

It was under Presti's strong recommendation that the Spurs selected Parker in the 2001 draft.

In 2007, when Presti was only 30 years old, he served as the general manager of the Supersonics (Thunder). He selected three MVP-level superstars, Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, for the Thunder, and bought low-ranked players such as Adams and Ibaka.

And what only Jiang Hao knows is:

He also traded for superstars such as George and Paul later.

Even after all the superstars left the team, relying on the operation of General Pu, the Thunder this season not only has the rising star Alexander, the excellent rookie Giddy and the high-quality player Dort, but also holds more than a dozen first-round picks in the next few years, and once again embarked on a reconstruction road that made many teams jealous.

And there are several powerful people:

Rob Hennigan, then the assistant of the Spurs Basketball Operations Department, is now the deputy general manager of the Supersonics (Thunder).

Hennigan joined the Spurs in 2004 as director of player affairs and other positions. After Presti left the Spurs, he followed him to Oklahoma City.
