時(shí)事資訊:俄羅斯富豪欲收購(gòu)NBA新澤西網(wǎng)隊(duì)
俄羅斯首富普羅霍洛夫(Mikhail Prokhorov)欲收購(gòu)新澤西網(wǎng)隊(duì)(New Jersey Nets)的控股股權(quán)，這一舉動(dòng)令美國(guó)籃球協(xié)會(huì)(National Basketball Association, NBA)麻煩最多的一支球隊(duì)馬上擁有了現(xiàn)金，可以在紐約市的布魯克林建造早就說(shuō)過(guò)的球場(chǎng)。
Russia's richest man is buying a controlling stake in the New Jersey Nets in a move that instantly turns one of the National Basketball Association's most troubled franchises into a team with the cash to build a long-promised arena in Brooklyn, N.Y.
普羅霍洛夫是一位經(jīng)歷豐富的億萬(wàn)富翁，身價(jià)估計(jì)為95億美元。他提出的初步報(bào)價(jià)是以2億美元收購(gòu)新澤西網(wǎng)隊(duì)80%的股權(quán)，并擁有該隊(duì)未來(lái)主場(chǎng)的部分所有權(quán)。網(wǎng)隊(duì)過(guò)去10年兩次打進(jìn)NBA總決賽，但從未奪冠，成為笑柄，而且在其35年歷史的大多數(shù)時(shí)候在NBA里都只有挨打的份。
Mikhail Prokhorov, a colorful billionaire whose fortune has been valued at $9.5 billion, offered an initial $200 million for an 80% stake in a team and part ownership in its future home. Despite reaching the NBA finals twice in the last decade, the team has never won an NBA championship and has served as both a punch line and, for most of its 35 years, a punching bag for the NBA.
這樁交易可能幫助挽救網(wǎng)隊(duì)現(xiàn)老板拉特納(Bruce Ratner)所開(kāi)發(fā)的名為Atlantic Yards的位于布魯克林的球場(chǎng)項(xiàng)目。交易仍有待州法院批準(zhǔn)這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的開(kāi)發(fā)。
A deal, contingent on state court approval of the Atlantic Yards development, would help salvage the Brooklyn real-estate project advanced by current owner, developer Bruce Ratner.
如果得到至少75%的NBA股東批準(zhǔn)，普羅霍洛夫就會(huì)成為首位來(lái)自海外的NBA球隊(duì)老板，也是試圖通過(guò)染指廣受媒體關(guān)注的體育市場(chǎng)而吸引人們注意的最新一位俄羅斯富豪。阿布拉莫維奇(Roman Abramovich)或許是最出名的俄羅斯富豪，他出名的原因在很大程度上是因?yàn)閾碛杏⒊?lián)賽(English Premier League)豪門(mén)切爾西俱樂(lè)部(Chelsea)。
If he receives approval from at least 75% of the NBA's owners, Mr. Prokhorov will become the first non-North American owner of an NBA team, and the latest Russian oligarch to seek the spotlight of owning a sports franchise in a major media market. Roman Abramovich, perhaps the best-known of Russia's oligarchs, is now a celebrity in large part because he owns the soccer team Chelsea, one of the top franchises in the English Premier League.
