The Brooklyn Nets can be described as a typical negative teaching material for spending lavishly, and it turns out that just throwing money at it doesn't necessarily make a good team.

This summer, the Russian boss of the Nets spent money to throw out a set of the most expensive starting lineup in the league, and the big five went straight to the championship.

However, after the November game, the Nets had a record of only 4 wins and 12 losses, which was a big surprise. Although there are factors in this due to the injuries of Deron and Pierce, the results are indeed a bit exaggerated.

Originally, the Nets were aiming for a championship, but now, they are in danger of even making the playoffs.

Especially after losing to the Grizzlies on the last day of November, the Nets added another game to their losing streak. Their road this season has become steeper and steeper.

In stark contrast to the Nets, it is the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies have barely made any big moves in the transfer market this summer. Signed by Dellavedova, Mike. Miller and others are not blockbuster transfers.

However, such a team that had little to no operation in the summer is now playing the league's best 16-game winning streak to start the game!

This exaggerated result made the Grizzlies the most high-profile team in the league in just one month, and there is no one.

After the November game, Link naturally became the first Player of the Month in the West this season with a record of 16 wins.

Suddenly, the Grizzlies' popularity remained high. Videos about the Grizzlies and Link are always at the top of the list of hits on the web.

Robert. Pera is now one of the most profitable owners in the league, but he's not just a man with money in his eyes, he doesn't just love basketball, he's very human.

He made a lot of money in Memphis, and he also wanted to use the income from the fans to give back to the city of Memphis.

Although Pera is not from Memphis, he has lived in the city for less than two years. But with such great success in Memphis, there is still some affection for the city.

Now, he is one of the most famous and wealthy people in the city of Memphis. As a Memphis celebrity, he also hopes to do something to help the city he loves.

As a result, Pera decided to donate $100,000 to St. Judy's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.

But if you just donate 100,000 yuan, it seems a little too common. Pera hopes to attract more people to Memphis' philanthropic efforts and make the city truly better.

So he wants to donate in an eye-catching way, but it is impossible to advertise all over the city for such a thing.

So, Pera came up with a trick. In the afternoon, the Grizzlies owner took his plan and went to the training gym to find Link.

※※※

On the night of Dec. 1, the Grizzlies didn't play, and everything was calm in Memphis.

But at eight o'clock in the evening, Robert. A social media post by Pera broke the rare calm and caused an uproar in the sports circle.

"Tuesday, Dec. 3, 4 p.m., just before the Grizzlies vs. Suns game begins. I, Robert. Pera will play a 1v1 battle with Link, the star of the Grizzlies team, at the training hall of the FedEx Center. Whoever scores 10 points first will win. The losing side will donate $100,000 to St. Judy's Children's Research Hospital. Link said he would give me five balls, and then Grizzlies power forward Zach Brown. Randolph will referee the match and media reporters will be invited to watch. ”

In this not-so-long dynamic, it has only been released for a long time, and it has received many comments, reprints and likes.

Team owners and players heads-up? And also in the presence of the media? Suffice it to say, nothing like this has ever happened before. The only person who dared to do that was Jordan, but Jordan was once the god of basketball after all. And Pera, he didn't even play professional basketball.

The fans had a heated discussion about it, and it could be seen that everyone was still very interested in this heads-up with a huge disparity in strength.

Is Link reluctant to attack his boss?

Link conceded five balls from Pera, which means that Pera only needed five points to win the game, so will Link overturn?

As Pera expected, the incident gained a lot of attention as a result. Overnight, the name of St. Judy's Children's Research Hospital appeared on the hot search.

This incident can be described as a multi-pronged victory for Pera, who already likes to play basketball, and being able to compete with the strongest stars in the league can be regarded as satisfying Pera's selfishness.

Besides, Pera also knows that Link can't lose at all. So in the end, the $100,000 won't be paid by Link.

With the ability to donate money and entertain, Pera feels like a mastermind.

However, the enthusiasm of the fans to discuss the matter has greatly exceeded Pera's expectations.

In the commentary, the current owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, one of the greatest stars in NBA history, Michael Bush. Jordan was @ out by many people.

The reason is simple, Michael. Jordan was the only team owner in the league who had personally gone down to the court to train against the players in training camp.

This summer, Jordan coached Bobcats player Gerald in training camp. Henderson's photos and videos have been wildly circulated on the Internet.

Earlier, the video of the 50-year-old Jordan dunking in training camp attracted the attention of many fans.

As a result, fans jokingly called out to Jordan to give Pera some advice on how to deal with the pros.

As a result, even Pera herself didn't expect that the high-flying "god" actually paid attention to this matter and commented on it.

On December 2nd, Michael. Jordan said on his social media, "I think it's funny, it doesn't make any sense, what's the point of betting on yourself and yourself, on professional players and basketball enthusiasts?" Link wins or loses, he doesn't win. Stop doing such childish things, please. ”

Sure enough, Jordan didn't reply with any good words, he still had a high-minded attitude. Well, he does have the capital.

Pera was not angry, since Jordan answered, it means that the attention to this matter has far exceeded his imagination. So, Pera simply got off the donkey down the slope and replied to Jordan, letting the incident continue to heat up, "Then how about we have a boss-to-boss showdown?" I started this heads-up tournament in the name of charity and increased the amount of my donation to $1 million! ”

Grizzlies owner vs Bobcats owner, Pera vs Jordan? The whole world is crazy!

If Jordan really says yes, people can guarantee that this heads-up game will be watched more than all the NBA games that day!

"It's just a joke, why should I go one-on-one with him?" Jordan's response was quick, but his response disappointed fans.

Sure enough, this kind of fantastic duel is impossible to stage.

However, people never expected that things would turn around. As an old gambler, Jordan probably has itchy hands too. So after rejecting Pera's heads-up invitation, Jordan posted another update.

"There's no point in me fighting you, but if we can join forces to make a pro vs. pro match, maybe I'll say yes. I pick a player who represents me, and you pick a player who represents you. Don't play heads-up, let them shoot 100 threes and see who scores more. The loser donated 1 million, what do you think? ”

In the end, the old rascal still ended up studing! Even Link didn't expect that Jordan would really make a move!

Pera readily agreed to Jordan's offer, and the two bosses agreed.

So who will they pick to represent themselves? This has become the biggest suspense now.

Jordan said that the two sides can choose a player to represent themselves, but he did not say that they must choose a player from their own team.

With Jordan's status in the league, he could theoretically call anyone. After all, the childhood idol of many superstars is Jordan, how many people can refuse the invitation of an idol? And Pera's choice will undoubtedly only be Link.

Thinking of this, Link began to get a little nervous. How did this matter finally come around to himself?
