In the game between the Cavaliers and the Magic, Huang Jianhua, the Chinese businessman who was rumored to acquire the Cavaliers, appeared on the scene. All signs indicate that his acquisition of the Cavaliers is almost a foregone conclusion.
Huang Jianhua is a partner of the Houston Rockets basketball team and the New York Yankees baseball team, and is very famous in the American sports circle. His appearance is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this game, because he may become the first foreign owner in NBA history. In the first half, he sat next to the Magic bench, then in the second half, he sat in the Cavaliers' reserve seat behind the bench, and soon after, he went to the team owner's box.
Regarding the purpose of this trip to Cleveland, Huang Jianhua was unwilling to talk much about it. He only said that he stayed here to "take a look around."
American media generally believe that once Huang Jianhua becomes the largest shareholder of the Cavaliers, he will likely bring Yao Ming into the team to let the "giant" cooperate with James to strive for the championship. After the game, Huang Jianhua made some comments on the game: "James still lacks good support, besides, Z is still too soft inside." This statement was also seen by the American media as a prelude to his bringing in Yao Ming.
