Chapter 395

Looking at the eyes of the two disciples.

Richard is a little speechless

What should I say? Do you want to tell these two people that at present, the pioneers are wondering where to find a reliable insider?!

But think about it. Green Kay and the pioneers are not the same.

Because there is no salary space for the pioneers, those with high salary are reliable and can't be considered at all

Green Kai is different, they have plenty of salary space now!

Besides, fat Toutuo is the top salary. If you take it out for trading, you don't need to worry about the salary space

After thinking for a moment, looking at the expectant eyes of the two disciples, Richard was directly soft hearted.

"Cough, there is one candidate, but whether you can take it down depends on your luck!" Said Richard with a wry smile.

"Coach, say..."

"God, there is a real choice! With him, can we make it to the finals like Iverson and Dazhi? "

They asked Richard excitedly.

"Mutombo of the eagle! He's also a top salary, which matches Walker's contract! "

"I'm not sure if I can make it to the finals..."

"Who knows such a thing? Even I can't guarantee that I can make it to the finals this year... "

Said Richard with a wry smile.

"But if you can take Mutombo from the Hawks, you can't say anything else. You can make it to the eastern semi-finals, even to the Eastern Conference!"

"As for whether you can make it to the finals, it depends on your luck!"

Richard said with a smile.

Lvkai's attack strength is not as good as 76's, but their defense is better than the other side.

……

Under normal circumstances, in fact, the hawk didn't say that Mutombo is not for sale. After playing this season, the hawk sold Mutombo before playing half of next season

And the object of sale is Philadelphia 76 people!

76 people also rely on Mutombo to join in the 00-01 season, that is, next season to reach the finals

Mutombo's strength is quite reliable. In this league, in terms of the blue collar inside line, I'm afraid that in addition to Big Ben, Mutombo will be counted, and Mutombo has a good offensive strength.

For example, in the normal 00-01 season, 76 players played against the bucks. As a result, Mutombo averaged nearly 17 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks per game, which severely taught the bucks that there was no inside line in the team.

Even against O'Neal in the finals, Mutombo also scored 17 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks, with a shooting rate of 60%!

……

But at present, there is no way for the 76ers in Philadelphia to bring in Uncle mu. Iverson has just signed the top salary. After this season, Dazhi estimates another top salary. It's hard for the 76ers to swallow uncle Mu's contract.

Richard didn't want lvkai to be too miserable, so he recommended them to fight for uncle mu. It's quite a play to exchange walker for uncle mu.

Big deal plus a draft

At present, if lvkai wants to make a difference in the East, the introduction of Mutombo can be said to be their only way out.

Ordinary interior line can really improve their interior line strength, but without eggs, it can also make their regular season record better

And only by getting the top-level inside line like Uncle mu can they have a chance to rise completely!

They were very happy. This was Richard's way to show them a bright future!

"Thank you, coach!"

"Thank you coach, I know you have a way..."

……

They ran to the side of Pinot Noir with excited faces. It seemed that they could not wait to get rid of fat Toutuo, and then introduced Mutombo

Richard can only mourn for fat Toutuo.

When pierce and Billups are forced into the palace, the management of the team must think about it.

Besides, the fat Toutuo himself is not treated by pintino

The possibility of this transaction is quite high!

……

As for whether the eagle would like to let uncle Mu go or not at this time point, it's not Richard's business.

……

At the press conference after the match, Richard announced a "bad news" with a heavy face.

"Jermaine O'Neill has just eaten out of date food in the dressing room and is now vomiting and diarrhea. He may be absent for a week or two..."

"The good news is that Big Ben is back..."

Richard lied, but his face was not red and his heart was not jumping.

Reporters are speechless. Why are your pioneers so delicate? Xiao'ao, the stout kid, ate two mouthfuls of expired food, and then he vomited and diarrhea so fast?!This is the laxative

Besides, is your trailblazer's logistics team the devil?! Unexpectedly, they have prepared expired food for the players

All of this shows that Richard is talking nonsense. Little Austrian is fine!

"Cough, coach Richard, won't your trailblazers fire the head of the logistics team if this happens?" A reporter stood up to ask with a smile.

Richard, who asked this question, had nothing to say.

"Well, when no one makes a mistake, such a small thing will not be dismissed..."

The reporters laughed off the stage.

They also generally know why Richard wants to do all kinds of things.

When players take turns, they will not be counted in the number of appearances. When calculating the field average data, it must be higher

As long as the number of appearances in a season is more than two-thirds, then it is qualified to compete for scoring king, rebounding king and other honors.

Although this may lead to the loss of the Blazers, but look at Richard's posture, this season will certainly not pay much attention to the regular season results.

It's also normal to think about it. If these journalists are the main coach and lead the team to win all the games, they will not care much about the regular season next season

If you spell again, what can you do? Can you break your own record?!

……

As soon as he returned to Portland, Richard was immediately recruited. The NBA held a charity event in Portland, mainly to raise charity funds for children with leukemia.

Since it's an event held in Portland, Richard, the leader of Portland pioneers, must attend. Not only Richard, but also many players in the team must attend the event.

In fact, there are relevant regulations in the contracts of general players. For example, if the team needs players to attend any activities, the players cannot refuse without proper reasons.

……

Stern didn't come to the event, but Xiao Hua came in person.

According to Xiao Hua, Stern was afraid of being angry in Portland, so he sent Xiao Hua over

Richard couldn't help crying and laughing. It seems that old man stern has a deep sense of resentment towards himself!

If only Xiao Hua could be on top earlier, he and Xiao Hua have a good relationship. Later, when Xiao Hua is on top, he won't have to see Stern's face.

Many fans have misunderstood Xiao Hua, thinking that the reason why the future basketball style becomes "weak" is Xiao Hua's reform.

What's more, some fans said that under Xiao Hua's administration, NBA ratings fell and market value fell.

In fact, this view is totally unreasonable.

In terms of alliance policy and rules, in fact, Xiao Hua has not made any reform, most of which are based on the old rules made by stern.

For example, severe punishment for court fighting, which was brought out by stern, has nothing to do with Xiao Hua

For example, to cancel hand-check and reduce the intensity of confrontation on the court, it was also made by stern, or nothing to do with Xiao Hua.

However, after Xiao Hua took over, the market value of NBA has nearly tripled in just five or six years!

Before 2014, when Stern was in power, the total market value of all NBA teams was less than 20 billion dollars, about 15 billion dollars.

Five years later, the total market value of all NBA teams has exceeded 50 billion dollars.

It's totally groundless to say that NBA ratings are falling

As for the weakness of the league's style of play, it is true, but it has nothing to do with Xiao Hua, mainly due to the development of basketball technology.

With the development of the times, each team's style of playing has changed from accumulating the inner line to accumulating the outer line, and the position of center has become dispensable.

Even if there is a center, more than half of them are playing outside

In this case, without a lot of internal confrontation, it naturally looks less tough than before.

It's impossible to count on a group of small guys outside the three-point line, right?

……

Of course, if Xiao Hua wants to change this style of play, he can certainly do it, such as introducing some rules that are beneficial to the center.

But it's totally unnecessary!

Because NBA wants to make money, the commercial value of outside players is higher than that of inside players, which is well known.

After all, the NBA is a Business League. If you don't make money, Xiao Hua must be a fool

……

"Adam, to be honest with me, has your management committee held a special meeting to discuss how to engage our pioneers?" Richard asked Xiao Hua with a smile.

This question directly makes Xiao Hua look unnatural

"Cough, no! The management committee will never deliberately target a certain team, Li, you think more! " Xiao Hua smiles."I don't believe it at all..." Richard rolled his eyes and said.

……

"By the way, Adam, there's something I want to consult you about!" Richard asked Xiao Hua with a frown when he thought of something.

Xiao Hua nodded and beckoned Richard to go on.

"In that case, I would like to ask how to build a new team in the NBA right?"

"To put it another way, for example, if the league wants to expand a team and I want to be the owner of this team now, what conditions need to be met?"

Richard asked, frowning.

Xiao Hua heard this question, immediately began to sweat behind, some surprised!

What does Richard know?!

How does he know such a thing?!

A few days ago, stern had just talked to him in private about expanding a team in recent years.

Because at present, there are 29 teams in the league, which is an odd number. The number of teams in the East and West is different. It's just obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If we expand another team, we will have exactly 30 teams, 15 teams in the East and 15 teams in the West.

Of course, this is what Stern said casually. This kind of military expansion can't be accomplished in one or two days.

It's impossible for stern to slap his head. Let's add a team, and then we can add another team next season

The expansion of the army is rather troublesome. It will take at least two or three years to prepare!

Location alone takes a lot of time!

To build a new team in a city, first of all, we need to discuss tax issues with the government and see if the government will give financial subsidies.

It's just a matter of months

After all, the government has to hold a meeting to study

Then the club's business is another year.

At present, stern is only a temporary idea. He told Xiao Hua about it privately and wanted to ask Xiao Hua's opinion.

Naturally, Xiao Hua has no opinion. What Stern said is what

At present, only stern and Xiao Hua know about this. Richard asked this question abruptly. Xiao Hua even doubted whether Richard installed a monitoring device in Stern's office.

But it's not likely

"Li, how do you think of asking this? We don't have any plans to expand our army at present! " Xiao Hua forces herself to calm down

Richard laughed. There is no plan to expand the army at present, but that doesn't mean there will be no in the future!

Richard clearly remembers that in 2004, the NBA expanded another team, the Charlotte Bobcats.

Two years later, the Charlotte hornet moved to New Orleans, just in time to vacate the city of Charlotte, and the NBA simply expanded its army in Charlotte.

Then the New Orleans Hornets changed their name to pelicans, and Charlotte Bobcats simply changed their team name to Hornets.

……

Now Richard asked about the expansion of the army. He certainly wanted to inquire about the situation and see if he was qualified to participate in the expansion.

This is very attractive for Richard, a completely new team!

……

"Adam, I'm just asking, don't you know this kind of thing? The NBA can't never expand its military. Let me know... " Richard said to Xiao Hua with a smile.

"Well, Li, it's more complicated!"

"First of all, let's make an analogy. For example, the NBA has plans to expand its army. It's just a hypothesis. Don't think about it. The NBA does not have plans to expand its army now!"

"then the NBA will conduct capital verification for those who sign up for it......"

"Capital verification? What do you say? " Asked Richard, frowning.

"Just to see if you have the capital to run a team, such as the two teams of raptors and grizzlies in the past few years, their initial capital verification is 200 million dollars!"

"You should be clear that a new team may face losses in most cases in the early stage. If the boss has no money, it will not work..."

"Of course, the Money League will not touch, just make sure you have the capital to compete for the title of team boss!" Xiao Hua explained patiently.

Richard nodded, so he made it clear that when the owners of Bobcats entered the league, they also verified their capital

It doesn't have to go to the league, it just shows the league that you have the capital to run a team.

"And then? Won't it be finished after the capital verification? " Richard asked again.

Xiao Hua shook his head. "It's not that easy. The management committee will also examine your business ability!"

"You should know what it means. After all, we don't want to have another boss like steiping..."

Richard nodded. It's a good understanding. Besides making sure that you have a capital operation team, the League also needs to make sure that you are not a foolJust like Steinbeck, it's a big headache for the League to bankrupt a good team!

Alliance is also learning smart, now not only requires capital, but also requires the boss to have the ability!

It's not that a team loses money on its own. In fact, the league's dividend profits have to subsidize these losing teams. The League naturally doesn't want new teams to lose money

"Adam, do you think that I have increased the market value of the pioneers so much, which is a reflection of business ability?" Richard asked with a smile.

To his surprise, Xiao Hua shook his head.

"No! Definitely not! You're just a manager, not a manager at the operational level of the team... " Xiao Hua said to Richard very simply.

This almost made Richard spit blood

Even when he comes, money can't get the qualification of team boss?!

It's pretty hard

……

Tonight's charity event, however, has benefited Richard. He has learned a lot of information from Xiao Hua, which is quite useful.

The next night, the Blazers' home tour begins.

Xiao'ao is off in turn, while Big Ben is going to fight.

Before the game, a piece of news about green Kai and the eagles directly made Richard a little incredible.

These two teams, with lightning speed, even reached a deal!

Green Kay sent out their first round draft rights and fat Toutuo in the team next year, in exchange for the blue collar center Mutombo in the eagle team!

The deal burst out at 6 p.m. and the whole basketball circle was boiling.

Everyone feels that this transaction of lvkai may be due to water in his head

If fat Toutuo changes Mutombo, the fans and experts may accept it. After all, these two are top paid players

But green Kai actually joined their first unprotected draft in the deal?!

What's wrong with lvkai?! Inflated? I don't know what weight I have?!

In the eyes of many experts, at present, the best plan of lvkai is to continue to be rotten and strive to select a reliable blue collar inner line next year!

In this way, they even rise up

But apparently, the operation of lvkai is beyond their expectation. In their opinion, the operation of lvkai is too urgent!

Can't wait

Green Kai obviously can't wait, this league's most profound rich team, has been in bad condition for many years!

The last time they played in the playoffs, it was 94-95, the year Richard crossed!

And this time, it's only the eighth record in the East, the first round of the playoffs.

If we continue to rot, we will lose a lot of fans!

It's a good choice to put rotten eggs in this season, but in case another rotten tomato egg is chosen next year

Who dares to say it?!

Besides, judging from the current draft forecast, the next draft conference has no decent blue collar insiders

It's better to come to Mutombo with a crisp deal, as Richard said, and have a thorough fight!

If you succeed, you will become a model in the club. If you fail, you will go to work in the sea!

Richard also had to admire green Kai's courage. He was really crisp

The Hawks' Wilkens is getting a little bit cheaper, mainly because the Hawks are getting ready for a bad season.

So far, they are 1-5 and don't expect to make a start this season.

……

In Richard's view, this is a win-win business, in any case, both sides are not at a loss.

Now it's just the beginning of the season, green Kai got uncle mu, just can run in a whole season.

And the eagle just took a young fat Toutuo and the first round draft right, which is very suitable for their bad plan.

……

Green Kay is going to rise in pace, of course, even if the rise is one or two seasons, because the contract of Mutombo and pierce expires at the same time in the off-season next season.

Pearce must have a top salary contract. Unless there is a pay cut for Mutombo, it will be difficult for lvkai to keep Mutombo.

Even so, if green Kai has made outstanding achievements in the past two years, it is not a loss!

……

The Blazers play Phoenix Suns tonight.

The Suns are one of the 15 teams in the league that don't have any West Lafayette players.

It's not that Danny Angie doesn't want the West Lafayette players. In fact, at the just concluded draft conference, Angie was thinking of choosing a player from Purdue University with the No. 9 signature from Mavericks.

That's number nine. Six junior students from Purdue will run for the election. Angie, how can she choose one?It turned out to be a pain

Don't say he signed on the 9th, even the 8th has not been selected as the sixth minority of Pudu!

The first seven ranks of Pudu Liushao were taken out directly

This makes Angie very uncomfortable, can only choose hacker Marion according to the original plan!

Of course, Angie's choice is not worse than Purdue six. Marion is a player who is greatly underestimated.

Apart from the ugly appearance and the ugly style of the ball, nothing else can be found.

……

At present, the sun's record is fairly good. It's 4-3 so far.

If you play suns, Richard will not stay. It's just that Nowitzki's hand feel is quite good tonight. Richard let Nowitzki play hard. Anyway, there is a big book protecting the inside!

In fact, compared with xiao'ao, Big Ben is more suitable for these God making tasks.

The main reason is that this product doesn't occupy the right of penalty. After grabbing the rebounds, the first thought is not to attack, but to transmit the ball to the outside line.

It also makes tonight's trailblazers feel comfortable playing outside

At the end of the game, Nowitzki scored 31 points, which excited the pioneer fans!

The new players Richard chose last season are beginning to show their power gradually

Harrington just blew three times in a row. Nowitzki blew again tonight!
