Chapter 266 Let Buffett Buy an NBA Team!

This year, Buffett and James have not yet become friends. They only had lunch together for the first time in 2006. Unexpectedly, a year in advance, Buffett did not find James, but was attracted by Sun Zhuo. Taking the initiative to be friends with Sun Zhuo, for this investment guru, Sun Zhuo's performance in trading during this period may not shock Buffett. What really attracts Buffett is Sun Zhuo's identity as a basketball player.

Sun Zhuo was very happy. He had always been interested in investing. Unexpectedly, after his rebirth, even Buffett would be willing to be friends with him. No one would refuse to have more contact with a legendary figure. You know, the auction price of "Buffett Lunch" is very high. Dear.

Sun Zhuo and Buffett sat down and began a more in-depth communication.

Buffett said: "In fact, I sometimes watch NBA, NHL or other sports games. I think these sports and investment transactions have a lot in common. For example, emotions, which are crucial to transactions or games. Maybe you could have made the shot and seized the trading opportunity, but once your emotions are affected, the result will change."

"That's why there are so many people in the NBA talking trash, including me." Sun Zhuo laughed.

"You are a person who is very good at influencing the emotions of your opponents. This is one of the reasons why you can win. You have done a great job at this point." Buffett praised.

"It's a pity that my ability to control my emotions is not very good. I can influence others, and others can influence me." Sun Zhuo frankly stated his problem, and then asked: "I really want to know, at your level, From what perspective will an investment guru view NBA games?”

Buffett stretched out his hand to adjust his glasses, and then said: "Well, I will see how a player or a team reacts to a short-term score change. If he is very sensitive, he will be in a hurry once he falls behind. Or the team will change its original thinking. I think that is wrong. On the basketball court, just like in the stock and futures markets, short-term price or score fluctuations are random. Maybe the opponent is just lucky and can keep going. Goal, but this kind of chance cannot change the overall trend, especially in the playoffs, it is not just one game, but seven games, you have to stick to yourself and don't make changes easily."

"In addition, I quite like to see how a team loses. Jesse Livermore once said, if you are a first-class loser, then you will also be a first-class winner. If a team even loses Some games, but the way they lost I think is first-class, then I will be more optimistic about this team.”

It was also the first time for Sun Zhuo to hear someone analyze the game from such a perspective. He found it quite refreshing and replied: "Then you must like the San Antonio Spurs very much. Many of their losses were won by McGrady's magical moments. "

"Haha." Buffett chuckled softly. Judging from his lack of expression, he seemed not to know what the McGrady Moment was.

Buffett took a sip of Coke and seemed to be more energetic. This "old man" insisted on drinking Coke every day. He said that he would rather live less and drink five bottles of Coke every day. However, as far as Sun Zhuo knows, in 2017, he Still living well.

Afterwards, Buffett asked Sun Zhuo: "I heard that you are already borrowing money to do futures. I can see your confidence in trading. I also think you will make money, so I would like to know how much you want to make in this way." ? You make a lot of money every day now. If it keeps rolling like a snowball every day, it will be really scary. It won’t be long before your wealth exceeds mine."

Sun Zhuo laughed twice and explained: "I have no ambition to be the richest man in the world. I actually make money to invest in my own movies. Although it seems a bit unprofessional, I still want to do my best. Now I am making money." It’s almost done, I will stop soon and continue to do long-term business.”

Buffett nodded, "I still recommend you to be long-term. If you need investment, I can help you."

Unexpectedly, after a conversation, he actually attracted investment. But at this point, Sun Zhuo suddenly had an idea. Buffett is very rich and can make money, but he has never bought an NBA team. Sun Zhuo hopes that Buffett can buy it. An NBA team, and then become a more unique owner.

A long time ago, Sun Zhuo felt that except for a few teams, most of the 30 NBA teams were mediocre and lacked characteristics, especially those teams that could not win championships all year round and could not attract big-name stars. Their presence in the NBA It seems that apart from being a background, it doesn’t have much meaning. If a willful rich man owns an NBA team and then makes this team different from other teams, this will also be a big deal for NBA fans. It will feel fresh and it will be a kind of enjoyment, even if this team may not be able to win the championship.

"Mr. Buffett, are you interested in buying an NBA team? I suddenly had a very bold idea." Sun Zhuo couldn't help but share his newly conceived idea with Buffett.

"Oh? Tell me, if I own an NBA team, how should I build it?" Buffett also became interested.

Sun Zhuo suddenly couldn't help laughing when he thought of his slightly "ridiculous" idea, "Just like you like to study the long-term trend of stocks, I also like to study the future direction of the NBA. I think the three-pointer will become an integral part of NBA games in the future. The most important way to score, the center will become less important. If you own a team, you can recruit all the three-point shooting experts in the league to create a completely different team, starting from the first position. From the fifth position, you can shoot three-pointers. Maybe this won't help you win the championship for the time being, because the most suitable five-man group for this system has not yet emerged, but at least it can bring a different visual experience to the league."

Buffett laughed, "Listening to what you said, my money seems to have been blown by the strong wind. You know I have always been very cautious, but I believe you are serious when you told me that three-pointers are the future trend. I I like to seize opportunities that others cannot see in advance, and I will seriously consider it. If I really become the owner of an NBA team, I will have more things to ask you for in the future."

"I'm always waiting." Sun Zhuo was very happy. Buffett seemed really interested. If this bold idea can really come true, then NBA fans will be happy. In his previous life, Sun Zhuo was just an NBA fan. , I really hope that such a team can appear in the NBA, it is best to have a team with all dunkers...

…

Soon, the Pistons and Heat will compete in Game 6 at the Pistons' home court. Wade will continue to play in a healthy manner. There will be no Wade in Game 6 of the seven games in his previous life. Even Sun Zhuo is looking forward to it this time. What will happen in this one.

Sun Zhuo sat in front of the TV on time to watch the live game, as if he had returned to the state of the fan in his previous life. Between the Pistons and the Heat, he clearly supported the team, so every time the Heat scored a goal, Sun Zhuo was also happy.

Wade was really unstoppable today. He repeated his 40+ performance in the second game. His breakthrough completely tore apart the Pistons' defense. He was also very accurate in the mid-range. Many goals bounced several times and still fell into the net. It was just luck. Also on his side.

In the end, the Heat defeated the Pistons in Game 6 and advanced to the Finals!

"The Spurs' opponent this year is the Heat!" At the end of the game, Sun Zhuo also stood up from the sofa. History has changed, and this change is caused by Sun Zhuo. If Sun Zhuo does not go to Miami, maybe the Pistons will advance in the end. .

…

Sun Zhuo recovered quickly from his injury and can now move freely. At the same time, he is also busy preparing for his first movie. The first movie he wants to make is a very classic movie "Inception" .

"Inception" was directed by Christopher Nolan in his previous life and starred Leonardo DiCaprio. It is defined as an "action science fiction film that takes place within the structure of consciousness."

Sun Zhuo has always been interested in dreams and has a strong preference for this movie. He has watched it many times and remembers every detail of the movie.

Due to the identity and height of the athlete, if the actors he partners with are shorter than Sun Zhuo, the audience will think that the actor is a basketball player from beginning to end, and the picture will not be very harmonious. Therefore, Sun Zhuo has to choose the role. , selected a large number of actors and colleagues of similar heights.

During this time, Sun Zhuo has almost assigned all the starring roles. Sun Zhuo will play the protagonist Cobb, Jessica Alba will play Cobb’s wife Mel, and Carey Mulligan will play Cobb’s partner Eli Ade Ni, Arthur will be played by Vujacic, and other roles have also been selected. The only important role that has not been confirmed is the protagonist Cobb's father-in-law Miles. Originally, this role was played by Michael Caine, and he is also 188cm tall. , as long as he steps on the box again, he and Sun Zhuo are still very coordinated when acting together. However, Sun Zhuo sent an invitation to the veteran actor, but did not get a response from the other party.

Sun Zhuo had to settle for the next best thing. Since there were so many NBA people in this movie, he simply found another NBA player to play the role. Sun Zhuo thought of Spurs coach Popovich, who is very popular with Michael Caine. Like, and the two are the same height, Popovich is definitely talented in acting. If he was not a coach but an actor, he might not be worse than Michael Caine.

But the problem is that the relationship between Sun Zhuo and Popovich is not good.

With the attitude of giving it a try, Sun Zhuo found a way to contact Spurs coach Popovich who was preparing for the finals.

On the Spurs Arena training ground, Popovich was directing the players to train with a serious face. At this time, Spurs general manager RC Buford walked up to Popovich and said: "There is a phone call for you. Greg, who do you think it is?”

Popovich glanced at his old friend who has known him for many years and said with a smile: "Even if David Stern is calling, you shouldn't have this expression, right? Who is it that makes your expression so weird?"

"It's Eric Sun of the Lakers." RC Buford said.

Popovich showed a surprised expression. Before Popovich could reply, Ginobili, who heard the conversation next to him, walked over first and said to Popovich: "Don't pick it up, coach, it's the president's time now." At the critical moment of the finals, that guy Sun will definitely disturb you when he calls at this time. Everyone knows that he is good brothers with Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal of the Heat. During the fifth game of the series between the Heat and the Pistons, Sun even went to the scene injured, and within a few minutes of his arrival, he angered Larry Brown, causing the Pistons to lose the most critical battle at Tianwang Mountain. God knows what he wants to do to us, the Spurs, now!"

"That's right, coach, he has nothing to do with you. He won't come to you for anything. Out of politeness, you can reply to him after the finals." Tony Parker also agreed with Ginobili's point of view .

Tim Duncan also stopped what he was doing and touched his chest. He remembered being hit by Sun Zhuo time and time again in the previous series, and he still felt lingering fear.

"Go to training, you don't have to worry about these things." Popovich knew that the players cared about him, but he still drove everyone away seriously, and then walked to the office to answer the phone.

"I'm Popovich."

Hearing Popovich's voice, Sun Zhuo quickly softened his words. Although they were opponents in two playoffs, after all, they have to ask for help. They have to have a better attitude. Sun Zhuo said: "Congratulations on entering the finals. After losing to you, I felt that the team that could defeat the Lakers so easily would definitely win the championship in the end, and I believe the Heat will not be your opponent."

"Oh? Is that what you think? As far as I know, you have a good relationship with Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal, and you should be on their side." Popovich didn't want to swallow Sun. Poisoned milk sent by Zhuo.

Sun Zhuodao: "It is because I know them so well that I know that the Spurs have a higher chance of winning. Dwyane Wade is undoubtedly the top star in the league. I said this last season, but he is not mature enough. It’s the first time to enter the finals again, and although Shaquille O’Neal has many experiences in the finals, he no longer has the dominance of the past.”

Only then did Popovich begin to feel a little happy, "That's true, but what are you asking me for when you say this to me? Tell me quickly. You won't come to please someone who eliminates you for no reason. opponent’s.”

"That's right, I'm currently preparing to make a movie, and I'd like you to play one of the roles."

"Making a movie? There are quite a few people who think I should be an actor. However, other factors aside, whether or not to act depends on my mood. If I lose to your pair of good brothers in the finals, I I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to make your movie." Popovich said.

Sun Zhuo naturally hopes that the Heat will win, but in order to invite Popovich, he can only say some things that are against his will, just like giving some poisonous milk, "The Spurs must be the championship this season, you believe me, I We have already seen the Spurs win the championship and Tim Duncan winning the Finals MVP trophy."

"Haha, I hope so. I'll think about it again. I'll reply to you as soon as possible. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Popovich put away his smile. Instead of being complacent with Sun Zhuo's flattery, he became extremely serious, thinking to himself: "What conspiracy is Sun Zhuo playing? There must be something wrong with him asking me to make a movie for no reason. He probably He wants to use the script of this movie to influence me and thus affect the game against the Heat. Yes, this script must be his weapon. The script must not be read before the finals are over!"
