Chapter 1051: Los Angeles Wind and Rain
After the New Year, Feng Yu returned to the United States and came to Los Angeles, because there was about to be a game between the Los Angeles Wind and Rain and the Portland Trail Blazers. Allen made a point of calling and telling Feng that his team would win comfortably like the last time they were at home in Portland. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Feng Yu scoffed at this, although Portland is indeed strong, stronger than this new team in the rebuilding of the Wind and Rain Team, but didn't it only win by eight points last time.
In a basketball game, less than 10 points is a grade, more than 15 points is a grade, and less than 10 points means that if you play well, or a player is explosive, it is possible to win.
Paul today? Allen also had to come to the stadium to watch the game in person, saying that every easy win for his team makes him feel better.
Feng Yu vs. Paul? Alan is so annoying, Elgin? Baylor told Feng Yu that if the Trail Blazers hadn't deliberately obstructed it, their rebuilding plan would have been more successful.
Although they both got the desired draft picks, and according to Feng Yu and head coach George? Karl's opinion was to pick the players they wanted, but for this, they ate two more garbage contracts, which will greatly increase their salary pressure and make them unable to sign big stars in the free market for three years!
Team manager Elgin has a lot of respect for Feng Yuke. During Sterling's time, his annual salary was only $300,000, the lowest of all team managers, and worse than the annual salary of managers of small-ball city teams such as Milwaukee and Toronto.
Not to mention that the annual salary of the manager of the adjacent Lakers is two million dollars, let's just say that the salary of the average team manager has generally risen to seven or eight hundred thousand dollars, not to mention that the Clippers are still in a big city like Los Angeles!
But at that time, the attendance rate of the Clippers was really poor, but it was related to the owner's reluctance to spend more money to bring in good players. He told his boss to rebuild, but the boss didn't agree.
And now, as soon as Feng Yu came, he not only raised his annual salary to an average of $800,000, but also promised to reach a certain attendance rate and give him some bonuses, which was almost three times his income last year!
But he's done a good job now, although George? Karl is a defensive-minded coach, but he's also very good at offense. Although the core of the team is all newcomers, such as the first-round pick, Vince? Carter, a lot of people said they would regret it.
But now, Carter's physical fitness is really not to say, and the style of play is very ornamental, in just two months, with a number of explosive dunks, he has become a frequent visitor to the top ten balls, so that the attendance rate of the arena has risen rapidly, although the team's record is still outside the playoffs.
And that one called Paul? Pierce's offense is also rich and varied, and is more liked by Coach Carl than Carter. There is also Lewis who fell from the small green house to the end of the first round, such a big man, he actually played on the outside, and his shooting was very accurate, although he also had shortcomings, but he was able to open up space, so that Carter and Pierce could break through more comfortably, and when the ball came out, he could also shoot three-pointers when he was vacant.
It's just that the point guard called Alston doesn't like it very much, and if it weren't for the starting point guard they traded for was still injured, they wouldn't have used him too much.
The starting point guard was supposed to be Tanhuaxiu two years ago, but because of injury, he was swept away, and the Storm team took it through a multi-person trade. Coach Carl said that if the player, named Billups, is healthy, he will be able to become a very qualified point guard in two years, and the template is All-Star Payton.
The sixth man is a man named Mobley, who is a good player at grabbing points, and the template is Cassel.
As for the rest, they are all blue-collar veterans and a few notoriously bad contracts, but they all have good game experience, even playoff experience, which can help the team's newcomers grow.
When these old ruffians came, Elgin warned them that the team was built on the outside and at the core, with newcomers as the core. If any of them dares to become a cancer in the locker room, then just wait for the ban, the ban is not paid!
Feng Yu is very optimistic about this team lineup, and the big-name star he wanted to chase at first was actually Pippen. Jordan retired again, it is said that it was because of a falling out with the owner of the Bulls, and another Jordan is not bad for money.
And the Bulls, who lost Jordan, also lost some championship-winning members, Pippen wanted a big contract, and the Bulls owner also refused to give it.
But the wind and rain team opened a big contract, 90 million US dollars in five years, which is already the maximum salary they can give according to the contract, but Pippen was cut off by the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers paid 80 million US dollars in five years, because the Trail Blazers said, come to us, you can continue to win the championship and surpass Jordan in the future!
So, he signed first and then changed, went to the Trail Blazers, and left a piece of incense for the Bulls.
But the Storms are not for nothing, after the collapse of the Bulls dynasty, they successfully signed the rebounding king Rodman, five million in three years, very cheap. Other teams were hesitant about this form and attitude before, for fear that without Jordan, no one would be able to suppress him.
But Feng Yu made a decision and said it's okay, if you can't handle it, I'll take care of him! And Coach Carl also assured that he could handle Rodman.
And Rodman is really good, now he can guarantee twelve rebounds per game, and he has brought good defense to the team, and it also makes those high-paid and low-energy blue-collar workers dare not make trouble.
Not only did the team get good draft picks this year, but they also got some draft picks for next year, and the future of the team can be expected.
Feng Yu is also very satisfied with Elgin's work. Don't look at the team's current record is still outside the playoffs, but the atmosphere of the team is very good, and everyone firmly believes that after selecting two good players next year, they will definitely enter the playoffs!
Now Carter and Pierce have spectacular stats, and the duo has won the first two Rookie of the Month awards. For the first time in history, a team has two Rookie of the Month awards. As for Jamison, Bibby, Williams and the like, they are far inferior in terms of data.
The team also reminds people of the Los Angeles showtime because of its offensive style of play, although it was the history of the Los Angeles Lakers, but the fans in Los Angeles don't care, as long as it's a Los Angeles team.
And today, I heard that the owner of the Los Angeles Wind and Rain team was also coming to watch the game, which was fired by Elgin Fever, and the tickets for the stadium were sold out.
Feng Yu was very skeptical, did those people come to see basketball, or did they come to see him and Paul? Allen's bickering, the two teams in the media, this is not the first time that they have been targeted in the air.
Many people also know that the two major shareholders of Microsoft are not compatible!
When there is a fight on the basketball court, many fans will feel their blood boiling, but if you can see two team owners fighting, it will be even more perfect, the ticket is twice as expensive, no, ten times more expensive they have to buy it too!
