Chapter 794

Houston Rockets players have gathered around.

"Hello, boss!" Hello, everyone.

Lin Feng was a little stunned. He didn't expect that he had such high authority when he didn't come to the team for a long time. But it's no wonder that Lin Feng is the one who makes this team full of potential and future. And so young, even younger than most of the players on the field. More importantly, Lin Feng is the richest man in the world. Think about the world's richest man, many players feel heavy, full of pressure and expectations.

"All right, all right, go and practice. Especially you three rookies, if you want to be a regular player of the team, you have to work hard! " After waiting for everyone to say hello, Jordan drove them back to continue training.

Looking at the people's admiration for Jordan, Lin Feng felt for how wise his original decision was. Although it has greatly helped Houston Rockets in terms of popularity and business, Lin Feng believes that Jordan's real help for the team lies in his daily training. With the existence of Jordan, the "God of basketball", these players who almost watched Jordan grow up on the court and saw their idols sweating on the training ground will never be lazy.

This has a significant effect on Yao Ming, Boozer and others, especially James and wade who have just joined the team this year. Moreover, Jordan's example has set a good example for many young players, which has played an immeasurable role in their future career. At the same time, it has become an important reason for the official rise of the Houston Rockets and the long-term prosperity of the league.

"Thank you, Michael!" Lin Feng sincerely thanks. It's a great help for the team to set a good example for these young players.

"Ha ha, Lin, thank you, too. Thank you for letting me feel the taste of youth and blood again in my twilight years, and let me rekindle the desire for champion and victory. It's a great feeling to lead these young people full of vigor and future to fight for victory Michael Jordan looked at James and others who worked hard on the field and sighed.

When he was in Washington two years ago, he came back because he couldn't stand the laziness of the players, the lack of desire to win, and the indifference to failure. But after all, he is old and can't carry the team like he used to. Originally, Jordan was going to work hard for another season to lead the Washington Wizards into the playoffs, and then retire permanently. But the emergence of Lin Feng, give Jordan hope, let Jordan back to the desire to win, but also to Jordan equipped with a team enough to fight for the championship.

Another three in a row—— That's what Jordan thinks today. Although difficult, but looking at the team line-up in front of him, Jordan believes he can do it before he can't move the ball at all!

"Hi, boss, here you are! It's just a matter for us to discuss with you. " Dawson and Morey learned that Lin Feng arrived at the Houston rocket arena, and immediately rushed over.

"Oh, Michael, Yao Ming, I won't disturb your training! Come on, fight for this season and surprise everyone After Lin Feng encouraged him, Dawson and Morey entered the office.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Asked Lin Feng.

"Boss, what do you think of the atmosphere of the team?" Dawson went to the window and looked at the sweaty training of many players on the training ground downstairs.

"Well, yes, all the players are full of enthusiasm for training, which is very helpful to improve the personal strength of the players and the running in between the players." Lin Feng sighed. For all NBA players, the best time to really improve their strength is in the off-season. This time is usually a holiday for players, but if you want to make a breakthrough in your personal strength, you must sacrifice the precious off-season vacation time and devote yourself to training. The training at this time will be aimed at the weakness of the individual. Otherwise, as soon as the regular season starts, the training at that time is based on the team's skills and tactics, so it is very difficult to improve personal strength.

"Boss, these players are very diligent and we are all moved by their fighting spirit. However, the boss, there are only 11 players on the field, and there are four substitutes who are not present Dawson sighed.

Lin Feng nodded. Naturally, Lin Feng had seen this problem for a long time, and he also guessed the reason.

"Boss, originally these four substitutes were almost excluded from the rotation lineup, only to prevent injuries and garbage time, so that the main players can get a rest. But now the four substitutes completely lost confidence in playing time and gave up training. This kind of influence is very bad, and has had many conflicts with Jordan. So... "Morey explained.

"So I fired all four. Including the replacement of the third center of the team appointed by the boss Dawson said. Originally, Dawson was a little nervous about dismissing Lin Fengqin's third substitute center. He was afraid that Lin Feng would scold him for not supporting him. After all, this is Lin Feng's direct line. But now it seems that there is no direct relationship in Lin Feng's heart, which makes Dawson feel relieved. At the same time, he has more respect for Lin Feng.

After all, not every boss can be so magnanimous, and the person he has chosen is suddenly laid off, and he knows nothing about it. When Dawson asked himself, he saw Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded. The four players were so negligent in training and in conflict with Jordan that they should have been fired. Otherwise, it will destroy the atmosphere of the team and dare to challenge the team leader. This precedent can never be set. As for the center, although he was appointed by himself, he deserved to be dismissed for doing such a thing.

"But because of this, there are only 11 players left in the team, and there are only eight left except for three over 40 year old Jordan, Rodman and Olajuwon. For the sake of insurance, at least 2-3 more people need to be signed. " Dawson said.

Lin Feng nodded, which is very reasonable. I don't know what Dawson needs to explain to himself. I've fully authorized myself.

"Boss, the trouble is that the total salary of our team is close to the trigger point of luxury tax. According to my guess, there is about a million dollars to go before the luxury tax trigger point next season Said Morey calmly.

"So, boss, if you want to sign players again, you have to pay luxury tax. Because although those four players have been cut off, their salaries are still included in the salary cap of the team this season. There was no problem originally, but now there is a problem Dawson said rather reluctantly.

In fact, the strength of these four substitutes is far away from that of the main players and the main substitutes, but it is not an ambition for the team, but a need. After all, there are Rodman, Olajuwon and Jordan who are over 40 years old. If they are injured, someone must fill their vacancy. What's more, even if they don't get hurt, for the sake of the playoffs, the three will attend about 70 games at most in the regular season. At this time, the value of the four "water fountain" players appeared.

But the four were so negligent and had a conflict with Jordan that Dawson had to dismiss them directly after weighing them over and over again, so as to warn other young players in the team and form a deterrent to future substitutes.

But the dismissal is a dismissal, and it also establishes the prestige of the team management, as well as the absolute establishment of the boss of Jordan team. But without four players, the team will feel a bit stretched in the future. Although there is no problem at present, what should we do in the future? What makes Dawson even more helpless is that inviting another person will trigger the bottom line of luxury tax. At that time, it was a double fine.

Luxury tax—— Lin Feng frowned slightly. This is a unique rule of NBA, which is set up by NBA in order to balance the strength of each team. However, it is also because of the luxury tax that the strength of each team can be closer to each other, and it will not cause a team to dominate the League for several years. Of course, it does not rule out that some team owners are rich and powerful and do not care about the luxury tax.

But for Dawson, the luxury tax is a problem. After all, Alexander, the previous boss, hated paying luxury taxes the most. Whenever the team wants to touch the luxury tax, Alexander will order Dawson to start trading to empty the funds. Now the boss has changed to Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng is the richest man in the world, it's hard to say whether he will be willing to pay luxury tax.

"Rest assured, as long as the strength of the team improves, I don't care how much luxury tax I pay!" Lin Feng said.

It's luxury tax. I don't have money. What's more, as long as the team's performance is improved and the team can win the championship, paying a little luxury tax is really nothing. All the money can be earned back. What's more, Lin Feng doesn't expect to make money from Houston Rockets at all. What Lin Feng needs is the influence and popularity brought by Houston Rockets, so as to promote the development of his other companies in the United States. This is what Lin Feng likes.

It's just a luxury tax. Lin Feng really doesn't pay attention to it. I'm not short of money.

"Dawson, Morey, I'd like to assure you that as long as it's good for the team and can improve the team's strength, even if all the players get the top salary, I'm willing to!" Lin Feng resolutely released a sentence that shocked the whole league.

Dawson and Morey took a breath. All players are willing to get the top salary, which is a huge expense. According to the current top salary contract, if a player signs a contract this year, the top salary will start at $12.6 million, or $151 million based on 12 rotation players. The trigger line for luxury tax is 46.14 million. According to this figure, Lin Feng has to spend $46.12 million in luxury tax as well as $151 million in high wage. If you include wages, it's $197 million, close to $200 million.

One year, the salary of an NBA team is close to 200 million dollars, which is absolutely unprecedented. And don't forget, these contracts will increase by 10.5% every year, and for every 10.5% increase in players' wages, the team will pay 21% of their wages. This ratio is really terrible!

Of course, it is impossible for all players in a team to get the top salary. This is absolutely impossible. However, with the heroic protection of Lin Feng, Dawson and Morey began to make frequent moves. And the Houston Rockets shot, also led the whole NBA team's big change!
