Chapter 517 The news that shocked the alliance!

Chapter 517 The news that shocked the alliance!

San Antonio in June had become extremely sweltering. Gatsby and his party came off the Airbus and were blown by hot air that could burn the respiratory tract. After walking down for two steps, they were sticky and extremely uncomfortable.

After getting on the bus to the hotel, he finally recovered. When he arrived at the hotel, Gatsby took a shower before reading a book comfortably with the air conditioner on.

After watching it for a while, Gatsby's cell phone began to ring rapidly. When he saw it was Donnie Walsh, he pressed answer and played.

"Hey Donny, what's up?"

"Gatsby, where are you now?" Donny Walsh on the other end of the phone spoke urgently, as if he was in a hurry.

"Huh? I'm in the hotel, what's going on?"

"Wait a minute, I'll be right there!"

"Beep! Beep!" The phone was hung up, leaving Gatsby confused.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The people outside seemed to hammer the door open abruptly.

"Who!" cried Gatsby.

"Gatsby, me, Donnie!"

Gatsby looked through the cat's eyes, and it was indeed Donny Walsh.

Gatsby opened the door, and Donny Walsh walked in without waiting for Gatsby to greet him.

"What's the matter? Donnie?" Gatsby's expression was solemn.

Donnie Walsh said anxiously before his butt even touched the chair: "Gatsby, are the Knicks your team?"

Gatsby narrowed his eyes: "Why do you ask?"

Donnie Walsh panted: "My friend who works in the league office said that someone reported that you owned the Knicks as a player, and now the league is investigating!"

"Huh?" Gatsby's expression changed, and Donny Walsh was shocked: It really is so!

Gatsby sat on the chair. The chairs in the hotel were still very comfortable. Nix never spared in this aspect. He tapped his fingers on the back of the chair and thought slowly.

He was wondering whether Donny Walsh was reliable, but it was difficult to hide this matter. He used Uber shares and the team he traded with James Dolan. Although Long Xiaoman's family was the middleman, but Financially it can be found out.

This is not illegal, but it violates the league's ban. The league does not allow active players to own team shares, let alone completely own a team.

"Donnie, I did buy the Knicks, but it wasn't in my name. If the league investigates, can I still keep the Knicks?"

Donnie Walsh was really surprised to get Gatsby's personal confirmation, but considering Gatsby's current net worth, spending billions to buy a team is really not a big deal.

Donnie Walsh shook his head: "If you are found out, you will no longer be able to hold it. Players are not allowed to hold the team's ban. This is a red line. Xiao Hua will not allow the team to be held by an active player. Controlled."

Gatsby nodded. The league is a company, and it has an internal management system. It can vote through the owners of each team, that is, shareholders of the NBA, to expel a certain owner, such as the owner of the Clippers, Sterling. , that is how they were expelled.

Even if Gatsby wanted to file a lawsuit, he had no choice, because this was an internal shareholder decision within the company and complied with legal requirements.

However, Gatsby felt that there was a conspiracy in it. Only a few people knew about the deal between him and James Dolan. James Dolan's net worth has increased rapidly and he is happy. It is impossible to do such a thing.

Long Xiaoman is his girlfriend, so of course it is impossible to betray him, so who is going to report it?

Gatsby looked suspiciously at Donny Walsh, and Walsh was startled: "I didn't report it."

Gatsby nodded, and he probably wouldn't be the one who reported it to Donny Walsh, because it would be of no benefit to him at all.

Walsh has no trade and draft rights in the Knicks, and Gatsby will not interfere with him. Walsh has won the best general manager twice in the Knicks, and he wants to get more!

In fact, this report does not need to have actual evidence, and those who are interested can naturally guess some. The league has long wanted to sanction the Knicks, and they just need an excuse.

The current strength of the Knicks puts everyone in the team at risk, and there is no sign of the Knicks' decline. According to the current core lineup, it is estimated that the Knicks will rule the league for ten years.

Xiao Hua has seen the predicament that the alliance has experienced before. When the green giant ruled the alliance, it caused serious damage to the entire alliance.

And at that time, the league only had eight teams, and the commercialization was average. The boat was small and easy to turn around. Now that the league has reached its current scale, if one team is still allowed to dominate the league, the damage to the league will be huge.

If this is the case, then Xiao Hua would rather dismantle this dynasty team than let it hurt the entire league!

Gatsby felt that a storm was coming, and the outside public opinion had already begun to disclose this matter, but the alliance did not give a positive reply, and it is estimated that there is still no conclusive data.

Long Xiaoman has already started to form a legal team, preparing to file a lawsuit with the alliance, Gatsby is a little funny, Long Xiaoman deserves to be from a law school, the first time he wants to protect his legal rights.

The so-called persuading people to study medicine will be struck by lightning, while persuading people to study the law will be punishable by death.

Studying law is a very difficult thing, especially in the United States, where a Master of Laws is a truly high degree of education, let alone a graduate of New York University Law School. Although Long Xiaoman has engaged in business after graduation, the heart of a Master of Laws has not cooled down yet. .

Gatsby has no time to pay attention to these things now. There is not much he can do now. He can only see what the alliance investigates, or how the alliance reveals his intentions, and then soldiers come to cover it up.

The Knicks now lead the Spurs 2:0. Once they win another game at the Spurs' home court, they will basically take the championship into their arms.

While Gatsby was preparing for the game in San Antonio, he was waiting for the move from the league. However, there were some voices in the team about the information revealed this time, and his teammates looked suspicious.

The information on the Internet combined Gatsby's net worth, his authority in the team, and his relationship with the team owner's daughter. It was indeed very close to the truth.

Teammates who knew Gatsby felt that this matter was probably true, because Gatsby gave 100% to the team, almost treating the team as his own.

No matter how dedicated a player is, he will not think about the team like Gatsby. The only reason is that the real boss of the Knicks is indeed Gatsby!

Green and Thompson, the people who were best friends with Gatsby, couldn't bear it anymore and came to Gatsby to consult about the situation.
