Chapter 724: The Economic Foundation Is Important

The new Spurs owner is rich.

Although it was not specifically announced how many assets there are, judging from the fact that he bought the Spurs lightly and was very generous to the team for new equipment, this guy is not bad at all.

And he has a habit of giving rewards to his subordinates at every turn.

Of course, sometimes it's a direct knife, and sometimes it's a physical thing.

No, this time, in order to encourage the team and make the team better able to play in Memphis, the new owner specially launched a reward mechanism, Memphis has two games, and the top five players who play an obvious role on the field (that is, the efficiency value) will be rewarded after returning!

At the same time, the new owner also customized a complete set of equipment for each player at Adidas and Nike, from training clothes to protective gear and even underwear!

When the Spurs received this set of things before the expedition, the people who got the big contracts were fine, and the people who still got the rookie contracts and even the base salary suddenly felt that it was still necessary to go with a local tyrant boss.

I didn't see that during the recent playoffs, the comfortable canteens have been upgraded, and the daily meals are comparable to 5-star hotels, and there are no limits!

Of course, these people don't dare to binge-eat, after all, if they eat too much and become too fat, they will be scolded to death by physical trainers and coaches.

But this level of logistical support is really unprecedented, the whole league is so humanistic, and it may be a spur to care for his subordinates so much. (Of course, types such as New York and Portland, which used to be "stupid and have a lot of money", are not included in the statistics)

Holy City is a small ball market, and there has always been no way to attract superstars, and before changing the boss, it was really eager to break a dollar coin in half, and the poor don't want it.

Therefore, the salary level of the Spurs has not been high, many people choose the Spurs to play famous, and go to other places to mix high salaries after mixing with honors (championships), of course, their state cannot be guaranteed after the Spurs go out, after all, the Spurs never sell manuals, nor do they provide after-sales "three guarantees" service or "invalid return" service, buy it back will not use it is your business, as long as you get out of the door of San Antonio, what happens after that has nothing to do with the Spurs.

But now, the Spurs players who are about to expire or have a year or two left in their contracts are very happy, and the boss is not short of money, as long as they work hard next, they will definitely not suffer a loss in the new contract at that time.

No, on the eve of the third game, the boss specially ordered that the team's luxury plane, which was originally planned to be used in the finals, be put into service in advance, so that the Spurs no longer have to charter or rent planes.

"Tsk, that's luxurious."

Collectively got on the new plane, looking at the furnishings inside, Dior, who has always boasted of being very interested in luxury goods, couldn't help but look around, and finally found that the facilities here seemed to be beyond the scope of his cognition, so he could only say this in a curt.

"It's just presidential treatment! Air Force One is nothing more than that, right? ”

Green opened the wine cabinet and found it neatly stacked with fine champagne and red wine.

"Finally, you don't have to sit, you look at this chair, it's a bed when you put it down, and it's so comfortable, and the main thing is that the space is big enough!"

"Can I say that this toilet is really big? I really think it's small for the kind of toilet on a normal airliner. ”

……

A group of adults, who are basically millionaires or above, are like a group of curious babies seeing a new toy in the cabin, wandering around and admiring, and there is no majestic image on the field at all.

"It's good to be rich!"

This is the last unanimous emotion of all the players, at least for this aircraft, the cost of a year (including maintenance, insurance, gasoline, etc.) is estimated to be worth the annual salary of most of the Spurs.

"What are you doing? Don't hurry up and rest, you'll be in Memphis in a while, and you don't have much time to prepare. ”

Popovich also came up, and when he saw a group of disciples judging and pointing in the cabin as if they had never seen the world, they threw them over with a blank eye and an order.

He had apparently forgotten that when he first stepped into the plane not long ago, he had actually behaved worse than his own disciples.

At that time, the boss looked at Popovich's eyes, compared to the way Popovich looked at his disciples now, it was much more disgusting......

That feeling is "how can Lao Tzu have a comrade-in-arms like you who is not on the stage, it's a shame......"

After pulling away, he took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, and instructed the flight attendant to let these guys have a good rest, Popovich also walked to his small private room...... Phew, let's study the tactics.

With the roar of the engine, the luxurious team plane lifted off and disappeared into the clouds with a group of morale-boosting fellows

……

Later in the day.

FedEx Arena, Memphis, Tennessee.

The 19,000-seat FedEx Arena was almost 100 percent occupant today, probably because the Grizzlies played well at the Spurs' home court (especially the first game), which made Memphis fans instantly more confident in the team.

Today, they came to cheer for the team, and on the four basic directions of the stadium, there were large posters made by the fans!

It was a giant bear roaring in the sky, with a broken hammer with lightning and an equally dilapidated spacecraft under its feet, and the bear was about to pounce on a short, shivering Texas Ranger officer.

The whole picture is lifelike, and it looks very morale-boosting at home.

"The Spurs are going to get angry when they see it, right?" The Grizzlies are doing their final workout, and the game is coming up in the evening, so counting the time, the Spurs should be flying in the sky by now.

"That's it, that's what it feels like to have home advantage."

"That's right, I heard from a few leaders of the fan guild that they also paid for the slogans themselves. When the time comes, show all these things and take out the spurs from the momentum! ”

Well, the method is good, and the fans have put their hearts into it, but with the Grizzlies' financial resources, these are definitely impossible for the team to reimburse.

It is conceivable that if the Spurs saw this kind of poster or slogan at the Grizzlies home court in these two games (there are very few such things at the Spurs home court, Spurs fans are too peaceful. I guess I'll do it when I go back, of course, they must be the kind of team that pays and puts a lot of money on it.

What happened to the small ball market? With a boss who is not bad for money, the small ball market can also be rich.

"Put on new gear! Be serious when you get off the plane for a while! Reflect our momentum. ”

When Popovich was about to get off the plane, he walked out of his small private room and instructed his disciples, people rely on clothes, horses and saddles, come to other people's homes to kick the gym, and their momentum must be enough!

When Popovich appeared at the airport with the new Spurs in a neat line and with vigorous steps, the long-waiting media had an incredible feeling.

Is this a spur? Just kidding, I thought it was a dream team when I looked at the equipment!

This shocking feeling shocked everyone at the airport for a while, and people consciously avoided it everywhere they went, and no media even dared to come up for an interview.

Qin Yan walked in the middle of the team with a serious face, looking at the reactions around him, and silently thought in his heart:

The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the political textbooks of the Great Celestial Empire do not deceive me......
