Chapter 534

In the afternoon, Richard and Jordan received a phone call from the NBA Management Committee to inform them that the new army had passed. By the end of the new season, they will be the owners of the new Charlotte army.

That night, Jordan couldn't bear the excitement in his heart. He came to Detroit to discuss with Richard.

"Li, we've finally done this. Let's have a drink first!"

"God, I'm not dreaming. We're really going to get the next team!"

Jordan also brought a bottle of good wine this time. The whole person was excited.

"Is it necessary to be so excited about what is expected?" Richard looked at Jordan speechless.

"That's right. What's expected is that we are real people now. The real management must pay attention to image in the future!"

"Let's talk about the team name of the new army, Li. It was agreed at that time. Let you use this naming right!" Jordan said with a smile.

Richard waved. He had no idea for a while.

But Richard was not worried. He could not use the team name of Charlotte Bobcats. When the New Orleans Hornets changed their name to pelicans, they changed their name to Charlotte Hornets.

However, it's not easy to have a chance to name NBA teams. This is something that Richard never dreamed of in his previous life. At present, Richard still wants to see if he can come up with a meaningful team name.

……

"Do you have any thoughts, Michael, please tell me." Richard asked.

"Charlotte royals?" Jordan is going to talk to me directly

Richard waved. The name of this team has been used in NBA history. It's a rather ancient team, or the Rochester Royal team that existed in the 1950s.

"Let's change the team name. It's used. Royal Rochester. "

"Ironman?"

"Pittsburgh ironmen."

"Then I don't know. I think about the names of these two teams. In fact, if they are called Hornets, it will be better."

"Charlotte's old fans must be Hornets fans. If we continue to use the Hornets team name, it will trigger their sense of belonging and benefit our market." Jordan analyzed it.

Richard nodded. Naturally, he knew the truth. Their team is a complete new army, without any historical background.

If you can get the team name of hornets, you can directly attract a group of old fans of the original Hornets, and lay a good foundation for the future operation of the team.

"I'll call and see if they're going to the west at that time."

"See if you can ask for the hornet's team name."

……

If other teams, Richard would not have such a crazy idea, after all, team name is almost the belief of a team.

But the New Orleans Hornets are different. They changed their team name to the New Orleans pelicans within a few years, so in Richard's view, they may not pay much attention to the team name.

Since they don't pay attention to it, it's good for them to try to get it and continue to use the team name of the Hornets.

……

He called Tom Benson, the pelican's boss, only to be rebuffed.

"Li, I'm sure I can't promise you this. I know it's good for you to stay in Charlotte, but we also want to attract a wave of Charlotte fans. So in the past ten years, it's impossible for us to change the team name. We will always use the team name of the Hornets." Benson, the boss, didn't beat around the Bush and said what they thought.

Richard thought for a moment, but they couldn't find fault in doing so.

You rookie want fans, want to make money, others want to make money, how can you hurt yourself and benefit others, isn't that a fool

Richard will not blame Benson, but he must be uncomfortable.

Without the hornet's team name, Charlotte's new army will definitely start from scratch, without any details.

Thinking about it, Richard thought that Jordan's two team names were a little interesting

Both the Royal team and the Ironman team are the names of previous NBA teams. With such names, will they attract the attention of some ancient fans?

But the names of these two teams are a little ugly. Richard didn't look at them anyway

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Richard suddenly had a thought in his mind.

Since New Orleans doesn't give the Hornets the team name, Charlotte will find an old team name of New Orleans to use first

New Orleans is a city with a sense of existence in NBA history. There have been many teams before.

Utah Jazz's previous home city is in New Orleans, called the New Orleans Jazz.

It sounds like a fried chicken brandAnd the New Orleans Jazz's predecessor is called the New Orleans pirates, later changed its name to jazz.

Richard thinks about it, or is Charlotte the new army Charlotte pirates?!

Although this is the old name of the Jazz team, Richard's relationship with the Jazz doesn't need to give the Jazz any face.

Besides, the pirate team name, Richard is quite like, wild and unruly style, very suitable for Richard's style.

……

"Michael, I think of the team name. Let's call it Charlotte pirates..." Richard happily called Jordan.

Jordan frowned at the name of the team.

"This is the name of the team that jazz used before. It seems that there is some impression." Jordan was a little impressed by the team name, but not very impressed.

After all, the team is still in the ABA era, and only exists for three years.

"Yes, you know my relationship with jazz. They can't do anything about us anyway."

"Then we will build a pirate Dynasty under the name of this team. They will look good!" Said Richard with a smile.

Jordan certainly has no problem. He also feels that the team name is good. If he hadn't thought of the team name before, he would have suggested Richard to use it.

"Yes, Li, then I'll say hello to the management committee. Next, I can release official news and confirm the team name of our team!"

"Charlotte pirates, yes, it's really good. We should be like pirates. Although it's only a new army, even if it's robbery, we should also seize a pirate king!"

"I'll call the management committee right away!"

"By the way, the team building framework here, you don't leave it all to me, do you have to work hard?" Jordan thought about it, and couldn't help but say to Richard in a bitter voice.

A completely new team, it must be a lot of work to do, just recruitment is a headache.

Jordan has a headache now. If Richard is a manager, he will be busy.

"Don't worry, golden dragon you should have seen. I'm going to let golden dragon take full responsibility for this matter. You can rest assured that his ability will definitely give us a surprise." Richard must be involved in the new army at present, so all the work he has to do must be done by Golden Dragon.

Over the years, Golden Dragon has become Richard's absolute right arm. It seems difficult to build a team, but Richard firmly believes that golden dragon will be able to complete the task perfectly.

Jordan nodded. He knew that golden dragon was the man behind Richard. If there was no golden dragon, Richard would not be able to save so much money in a short time.

Jordan also believes that

Since Richard sent golden dragon to do this, he was relieved.

……

At noon the next day, NBA officials released news.

The name of the new Charlotte army was established. It was called the Charlotte pirates.

At present, the whole Charlotte fans are very excited. Richard will be stationed in Charlotte. After that, Charlotte will have fewer championship?

The key team name was decided by Richard himself, so regardless of what new army name Richard is going to determine, they are all unconditional support.

Besides, the name of the pirate team is also very good. Many fans don't know that there is such a team in the history of NBA. They think it's Richard's inspiration from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies

In June this year, the Pirates of the Caribbean movie was released, the box office was simply hot, and countless people were fascinated by the profession of pirates.

Now Richard has established the name of the new army as a pirate. It's quite good whether it's moral or heat. Charlotte fans can't find fault at all.

In this way, the Charlotte pirates are actually registered in the NBA. In less than a year, they will really start to create a new army framework.

……

At first, Richard was worried about whether the new rule of Richard III would affect him.

After all, the rules stipulate that the owner of the team can't enter the coaching team

If it were strictly enforced, Richard would have to step down as head coach of the pistons.

But old Davidson must not like it. The 90 year old man ran to the headquarters in New York and made a scene. Stern's face turned white. If the old man burps farts in the NBA headquarters, it will be over. The piston fans are expected to kill stern

There is no way, stern can only accommodation, after all, the pirate team has not been really established, Richard III is not applicable, it is an account for old Davidson.

Richard didn't pay much attention to the three rules before, but he thought about it. It seems that the three rules have a great impact on himself.Can't be the team's head coach, then the all star game, I certainly can't be the team's coach, then how can I get the reward, how can I get together that super suit!
