Chapter 565

Charlotte City stadium, which is the home stadium for the pirates.

The reason for the temporary use is that when Jordan and Richard took over the pirate team, they decided to build a new stadium as the main venue of the new pirate army.

Charlotte gymnasium facilities are too old and small to keep up with the trend of the times.

The former Charlotte Hornets, in fact, moved to New Orleans, but also because the stadium is too backward.

George, the boss of the hornet, hoped that the city government could help them build a new stadium, but they didn't talk about it, so they finally moved to New Orleans.

This kind of thing seems to be a bit of a mystery. Why should the government pay for the team's use of the new stadium?

In fact, it's quite normal in the United States. Even in China, it's quite normal. The government has to generate income

Teams have to pay a lot of taxes every year, which is the source of government revenue.

Now the old Hornets are running away, which makes the Charlotte municipal government a little flustered. Fortunately, Jordan and Richard are here

When the pirate team and the municipal government discussed the construction of the stadium, the municipal government was smart enough to help the pirate team spend 70% of the money to prevent the pirate team from running away.

The cost of the stadium is about 300 million dollars. As a result, Jordan and Richard paid a total of 90 million dollars, about 45 million dollars each.

The stadium has been built for a long time. It's estimated that when this season is over, the pirates will be able to move into the new stadium.

……

There is not much time left for the game to start, but the stadium is not full, only about 70% of the attendance.

It is estimated that the attendance rate will be about 80% when the competition starts.

Richard sighed. Charlotte's market is not very good. Before that, whether it's the Blazers or the pistons, Richard rarely had a seat rate lower than 80%.

Although tonight is just the pre-season opener, with the word "opener", the general attendance rate will not be low. Richard feels that if it is put on the trailblazer or piston, it will be full tonight.

The main reason is that the basketball atmosphere in Charlotte is not good.

The Hornets joined the league in the 87 year expansion. They didn't have a deep foundation. In the past ten years, they didn't get any outstanding achievements. Don't mention the championship. They didn't even taste the taste of dongjue.

In addition, Charlotte has the NFL Jaguar team. NFL is the first of the four major sports leagues in North America. Every year, the Super Bowl attracts the attention of numerous fans and is the most commercial sports league in the world.

In this case, the decline of Charlotte is quite normal.

It's no wonder the Hornets would have run. If the market was good, they would have stayed in Charlotte even if they hadn't talked with the city government about the stadium.

"It seems that the development of the new army still has a long way to go. The first thing to do is to establish a correct team culture, and then to think about how to attract more fans' attention." Richard thought to himself.

It is a very important thing to build up the team culture, which is Richard's main work in the next season.

The team culture of a team determines their lower limit, which means that a team with good culture will not be very bad no matter what.

The Spurs are a team that can say that.

The Knicks team is the most obvious negative teaching material

……

Team culture includes many aspects, such as team atmosphere, team style

For example, piston, their style is iron blood. This is what piston carved in the bone. Even if new players join piston, they will become iron blood.

……

Richard's goal now is to build the Hornets into a team similar to the pistons or the Blazers, with a strong style of play and a strong drive.

……

It's time for players from both sides to enter the stadium, and old mourning is shivering.

Charlotte is the beginning of his career, and in the present situation, it may also be the end of his career.

At the beginning, he and his mother, Larry Johnson, played for Charlotte Hornets. Because of the competition for the team leader, they became enemies.

Later, Monin was sent to the heat, and his aunt was also in a bad situation. After a year, she was sent to New York Knicks.

This is also the reason why Mo Ning and his aunt fought on the court. They had enemies for a long time

Blink of an eye, ten years passed, as if Mo Ning felt that he had a dream.

In the past ten years, Monin has gone through too many, too many, too many, too many, too many, too many, too many, too many, too many, too many.

Also has the sad trough, diagnosed the kidney disease, nearly ruined own career.

Fortunately, I still have a chance to stand on the court.……

The players of both sides began to enter the stadium, and the entrance of Monin made many old Charlotte fans cheer. This is the star of Charlotte's going out. At present, they have come back to the root, and they have given the old Monin due respect.

As for Richard's admission, Charlotte fans may have cheers, but they are not as loud as mourning's cheers.

Charlotte fans have complaints about Richard.

If it wasn't for Richard to trade Kobe, they felt that the Hornets would have a good harvest. If not for the championship, at least they could make it to the east?

But because of Richard's reason, Kobe Bryant, the duck to the mouth, flew. They must be full of resentment towards Richard.

Of course, because time has passed for a long time, their resentment towards Richard is not so deep. Otherwise, it must not be the cheers of three, three, two or two, but the catcalls that come one after another to meet Richard.

……

"Guys, tonight is just a preseason, but for some of you, it's the first time in your career, and I hope you all take it seriously."

"Tonight we're playing inside, I want to see the intensity of the defense on the court!"

"We must do well in defense, which is the foundation of our team!"

At the beginning of the game, Richard gave the players another last order.

Since we want to improve Milicic's confidence, we naturally want him to make decent data. If there is no data, where does confidence come from?

"Dako, I hope you can open your mouth and ask for the ball sometimes. This is not only the right of an inside player, but also your obligation!"

"These are all your teammates. You can trust to give your back to their brothers. Don't have any scruples. Even if you say something wrong or do something wrong, no one will laugh at you."

"You're the one I Richard valued. I Richard never looked away. I hope I won't make an exception to you!"

Before he came on stage, Richard spoke in a low voice, holding Milicic in his hand.

Richard didn't expect this to wake up Milicic directly. It will take a long time.

……

The pirate team's starting lineup, center Valerio, power forward Milicic, small forward igodara, point guard Ariza, control Wei Peyton.

There is no big problem in the lineup, no one can pick out any problems.

In fact, this is the best starting lineup Richard can make at present.

Ariza has a nickname named tieza, which means simple and clear. This nickname doesn't have any big problems.

Ariza's three-point shooting is indeed relatively iron, the whole career only one season three-point shooting rate more than 40%, most of the season's three-point shooting rate is more than 30%.

Rookie season's three points, that is impossible to see, to be exact, rookie season's Ariza, almost no three-point ability.

However, in this month of training, Richard specifically asked Ariza to try to learn to defend with Peyton, and at the same time, to exercise his three points as much as possible, which may improve Ariza's three-point shooting ability during his rookie period.

It is clear that Richard is ready to let Ariza move towards the 3D player route, which is the best route for Ariza.

As for igodara, compared with Ariza, the overall strength is not a little bit stronger.

Under normal circumstances, the 76 people who igodara joined in Philadelphia, in less than two seasons, successfully let the 76 people management give up Iverson and make sure that he is the cornerstone of the team's reconstruction.

The reason for this is that igodara must have a flash.

The first flash point is the strong ability to make damage under the basket. In the rookie season of igodara, the shooting rate under the basket is as high as 70%!

It's such a horrible concept that even James's rookie season can't reach this level.

James rookie's under the basket shooting rate compared with igodara, almost 10% less.

The breakthrough ability of the first brother rookie period is so terrible.

The second flash is that in addition to the strong breakthrough ability, igodara has a good basket.

That's pretty scary. The 3-point shooting rate of 33% or more on the outside line is certainly not very good, but the rookie season has a 3-point shooting rate, which is actually good.

Also compared with James, James rookie season's three-point goal is less than 30%.

The last flash is defense.

Rookie season defense efficiency value is 102 points, attack efficiency value is 110 points.

That is to say, every 100 rounds, igodara can get 110 points, and the opponents who can defend only get 102 points.

Compared with James, James rookie's defensive efficiency is actually good, with 104 points, but the offensive efficiency is only embarrassing 99 pointsIt can be said that igodara's rookie season is quite excellent no matter how it is compared. It's no wonder that the Philadelphia 76ers' management will make him the cornerstone of reconstruction.

That's why Richard didn't have to trade the Clippers before.

Such an excellent igodara, in Richard's view, is of great value, at least much greater than okafu.
