The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Buying an NBA team is hard to imagine, but it is actually very easy to operate. As long as the team owner agrees, the league agrees, and you can pay enough taxes, then everything is as fast as the green light.

After all, the current chairman of the NBA is Stern. After taking over the position of NBA chairman in 1984, he is committed to making the NBA a great chairman that affects global sports.

Although at present his main goal is still on the influence of the NBA in the American sports league and the expansion of such influence to European countries. But he doesn't mind taking the lead in expanding the influence of the NBA to ancient China.

Although people in the world now look at that ancient country as if they were looking at a feudal and backward old man, this does not prevent him from taking over a rich boss in this country and joining the NBA league, especially the new boss who has given him a lot of money. After a very surprising opinion, this made him welcome the other party to join him even more.

All the players and coaches in the 76ers' training center, as well as assistants and staff, stood on the court to greet their new boss.

The members who had been unable to make it to the playoffs for several years in a row had a little life because of Jerry Stackhower, a rookie known as Jordan's overtime man who was signed in 1996.

This year, the status of Jordan's successor has continued to decline this year, but they signed a stronger No. 1 pick last year and performed very well this year, which makes them hope a little bigger. But just when they were preparing to unite as one and wait for this hope to mature and bear fruit and lead the team to greater glory, the team owner changed.

Moreover, it was replaced by a Chinese they didn't understand at all, which cast a shadow over the hearts of all the staff and coaches who were actively preparing for the game.

"I am very happy to be able to acquire this team and have excellent players like you. Although the team has changed owners, except for digging better players to join you, the previous internally determined plan will not change in the slightest. And..." Yang Dongxu paused here: "After the training, I will treat you today, the biggest nightclub in Philadelphia."

"Woohoo."

Originally seeing such a young Chinese boss, everyone was still a little bit drummed, guessing what the young boss said when they met for the first time.

Who would have thought that the opponent would be so open-minded, come up to show that he would not point fingers, and would only spend money to buy better players to join the team, and then treat them directly in such a decent way. The originally apprehensive players suddenly felt that their new boss seemed to be not bad, unlike the previous boss who wanted good results, but was unwilling to spend money and was very stingy.

Watching the players excitedly discuss how to go to the nightclub, what are the characteristics of the biggest nightclub. Larry Brown's face was not as relaxed as the players, and he asked the assistant to restrain the excited players and continue training, so as not to leave a bad impression on the new boss and then walked into the office.

Walking into the office with him was Buck Coulson, now the general manager of the 76ers. This is a fat man with a height of only 165. Just looking at the surface, it feels a little funny, because he is really too fat.

But it is such a fat man who looks a little funny, but has excellent vision and team management ability. The 76ers have had such poor performance over the years, and from time to time they can still find some good players and poach them based on his vision.

It's a pity that he was unlucky and met a stingy boss. Even if he is optimistic about the player, the first consideration will always be the price, and then the player's ability. It would be better if he could meet a player who is both capable and cheap. His previous boss always thought so, which made him very distressed sometimes.

"What I just said is not empty words to comfort people. The team's current management system and plans will indeed not change. I called you to the office to learn more about the team, and at the same time, I want to hear what you think of the current team. Insufficient insights.

Don't worry, I'm not someone who is eager for quick success. I ask you what to do this year or next year. After all, capable players also need time to grow. But I don't want the team to continue to perform poorly, so the results don't mean that they must enter the playoffs, but at least they can't be at the bottom like they are now. "Looking at the two people who were a little nervous, Yang Dongxu said.

Hearing what his big boss said, Buck and Larry Brown, who were a little apprehensive, looked at each other and were relieved. There is also a feeling of outside players 'the boss is too good'.

In other words, they are simply too empathetic, they will not do anything they are afraid of, and they will support everything they want to do. They are simply the best bosses.

As for the seemingly unrequired, but actually required team performance issues, this is nothing to them at all. After all, this is what they have always wanted to do. One of them is the general manager of the team and the other is the coach.

No one is willing to let the team suck, or any manager or coach of any team, even if they are considering the draft, no one is willing to let the team suck. Competing with the bottom team every year, it's really embarrassing to go out and meet your peers.

"Let me first talk about the current team's player situation and salary structure." After confirming that the boss in front of him really wants to make the team a good one, and will not command blindly for quick success, Buck pondered and said.

Facing him, it was obvious that he had been prepared before, and this preparation was naturally a work report if the new boss was good. If the new boss makes him more desperate than the previous boss, it is the resignation report of the job handover. The current situation is obviously the former one.

At present, the total salary of all players of the 76ers is 28.61 million US dollars, which does not include the venue fee, the expenses of himself, coaches, assistants and logistics.

Adding all of that together, the team currently spends around $35 million a year. This is all money spent. As for the income, including the sales of tickets, some endorsements and other peripheral items, there will be more than 27 million yuan in income this year.

So this year's loss of more than 5 million US dollars is already a certainty. Therefore, Yang Dongxu's offer of 50 million to acquire the team is really a high price. Because all the money went into Schneider's pocket after paying taxes. As for the team's losses and all expenses are calculated at the moment of signing, Schneider will be his in the future without paying another dime.

After Barker's team's overall salary and management report last night, Larry Brown gave a general introduction to the team's situation and the current overall plan to build a new team with Iverson as the core.

However, although Iverson is currently preparing to be built as the core of the team, Iverson is not the 76ers with the highest salary, and he can't even rank second and can only rank third.

Now the highest salary of the 76ers is Derek Coleman at $8 million, and the second highest is Jim Jackson at $4.6 million. The combined salary of the two is nearly half of the entire team.

And what makes Yang Dongxu speechless is that if these two players can play the value of so much money, then he must have no objection. But the current physical condition of these two people is not so optimistic. Although they have been diagnosed by the doctor, they went home to rest without mentioning the reimbursement for the season.

In the 82 games of the regular season, it is estimated that at least one-third of the games will be missed. That is to say, the attendance rate of two-thirds of the two people with the highest salary is good, and the remaining one-third of the time needs to be recuperated. It is still the most optimistic estimate. If there are any new injuries during the game, the attendance rate will continue to decline.

And Jerry Stackhower, the fourth salaryman in the previous starting team, is also injured, and the situation is not optimistic than the previous two. Therefore, in the five-man lineup that has been put together in front of this season, the three of them have already been thinned out.

What's even more speechless is that the three 76ers' stars are a lazy guy and two prodigal sons. Jim Jackson, who has the second highest salary, is known as the NBA's number one prodigal son in later generations. He has a career of 14 years. 13 teams play.

Although Jerry Stackhower is not as prodigal as Jim, he is known as Jordan's successor. Because of his rebellious personality and uncertainty, it is difficult to be cultivated as the core of the team. The prodigal attributes in his bones are no less than Jim.

Then there is the most valuable Derrick Coleman, who was once said by Karl Malone that if he can work as hard as him, the number one in the league is not Michael Jordan. Barkley also thinks that he is the most talented forward in history. One guy is either a slacker or a drunk.

Although he was the No. 1 pick at 90, he is not considered a parallel import No. 1 in terms of statistics alone. But because of personal laziness and undisciplined life, it was difficult for the team to tolerate him, so he was sent to the 76ers by the Nets. As a result, he only played 11 games in the first year of the transfer due to injuries. The attendance rate in the 96-97 season was not bad. .

"Coleman must warn that if he continues to let himself go like this, measures must be taken. The same goes for the other two. If you want to build a championship team, not to mention that all players need to work hard, but at least you can't let this People lead bad rookies in the team." After listening to Larry Brown's report, Yang Dongxu pinched his brows depressedly.

Previously, his knowledge of the 76ers was limited to the fact that later generations liked Iverson, as well as the recent information obtained through Zhou Ya's investigation. After learning more about it now, he felt that his acquisition this time was too taken for granted.

The only reason why a team has been so bad is not only because of the bad performance, but also because he is really bad. And this situation has a lot to do with bad players. The current 76ers are simply a concentration camp of these bad players. Iverson can be said to be the only green, but right now this green is too young and just a rookie.

"Can you trade to strengthen the lineup?" Buck's eyes lit up. His new boss seemed not afraid of spending money, which made him feel that he had a chance to perform.

If it weren't for Schneider before, he had to save money and find capable players. How could he trade these problem players to the team.

"Warning first, emphasizing discipline, everything must be done in accordance with the team rules. If you don't listen to it, then you will consider the question of exchange and reinforcement. For the time being, if no one is willing to take over the player, let him sit on the bench for me. If you don't change it every day, let him do it. Bench. Don’t give him a chance even if he loses in the end.” Yang Dongxu expressed his tough attitude on this issue with a big wave of his hand.
