When I arrived at the arena near noon, the players had already started training. Obviously, yesterday's indulgence did not make them lost, and they knew what they were going to do next.
There are benefits to being close to the owner, but this closeness will turn into more bonuses when the team performs well. If the team's performance is not good, this closeness will become a ticket for you to leave.
Walking into Buck's office, today we will discuss the team's signings. Basically, Buck and Brown screen the players, and then discuss whether the player is suitable for the team. If suitable, then look at the current price of the player. I thought it was a good deal and then turned around to see him, the big boss, waiting for him to sign the check.
Of course, his boss has other functions besides signing checks. For example, for some rookies that the team did not pay attention to, or veterans whose names he could remember who could still explode in their pension contracts, they were all listed and asked to be discussed by Buck and Brown.
And from the list he provided, we really found some good prospects or good veterans. After all, for an audience who only watched the NBA for the stars and excitement in his previous life and was not even considered a fan, discussing the technical lineup is nonsense.
But there must be something special about the names of the players he remembers. Otherwise, why would an ordinary spectator with so many players remember you and not others?
"Boss, are you on the news?" Buck said when he saw Yang Dongxu walking in and reading the newspaper.
"News?" Yang Dongxu frowned, thinking that it was news that he brought the players to the nightclub yesterday.
As a result, when Buck handed over the newspaper, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the photos in the newspaper. Not the photo of taking the players to the nightclub yesterday, but the photo of the beach in Marbury.
The content of the photo is that he is lying on a lounge chair under a parasol wearing large underpants, and on the other side of him is a beautiful woman wearing a bikini lying there. This beauty was none other than the beauty with black hair and oriental beauty who asked him if there was anyone next to him.
"Jennifer Connelly? Who is this person?" Looking at the beauty in the photo, he still felt familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was.
"Hollywood stars, when they were young, they were extremely innocent and had a lot of fans. Later, after they became famous, they went to school, got a double degree, and transformed into a bold and unrestrained talented woman." Buck explained.
"The one in the movie "I Should Love That Girl"?" Buck's reminder allowed Yang Dongxu to clear up the confusion. I remembered who this familiar beauty was.
In order to avoid the embarrassment of plagiarism and collision, Yang Dongxu released songs focusing on the domestic entertainment industry. In addition to the development of movies and TV series, the United States is also his focus. So he had watched a lot of American movies, and Jennifer Connelly in "I Should Love That Girl" left a deep impression on him.
Just like Buck said, the former Jennifer was as beautiful as a noble swan. Some people said she was an angel and some believed her.
But when she returned from school, her style changed too quickly, like a tornado. "I Should Love That Girl" was her transformation work. At this time, Jennifer was still an angel, but she was no longer a holy angel, but full of temptation. Fallen angel.
Yang Dongxu didn't remember much of the entire film, except for one thing - this angel's breasts are so big...
"I prefer "The Secret of Love" that she filmed two years ago. After watching that movie, I felt young again." Buck said with some excitement.
The holy angel becomes a fallen angel, and this fallen angel has such a good figure that it makes thousands of men feel itchy. From this point of view, Jennifer's transformation is a success. Even Buck, a bald dwarf who only pays attention to basketball and not much other things, is familiar with her work.
But not every man stays with Jennifer because of this itching. For example, her boyfriend David doesn't think so. He was very happy to have this charming woman under him, but he would definitely not be able to accept it when he saw his own woman being held down by someone else. Even if it's making a movie, even if they already have children.
Therefore, the recent emotional dispute between Jennifer Ni and her boyfriend David can be said to be aroused, and most of the media had previously speculated. Some say that David wanted Jennifer to give up her current career and return to her family, but Jennifer was unwilling to start the conflict between the two.
And now this relationship dispute has a new flashpoint - the third party.
Moreover, the third party was an Oriental, so this report was published and accompanied by real and unedited photos. In an instant, Yang Dongxu became famous in the United States.
"Boss, you and Jenniferni..."
"If I said that I just went to relax on the beach after talking with a partner, she was tired and wanted to rest, and the lounge chair next to me happened to be empty. We said less than three sentences, would you believe it?" Yang Dongxu planned Buck, who was burning with gossip.
"I believe it." Buck nodded.
Yang Dongxu turned his head to look at Brown, who was sitting in the chair with the old god.
Brown was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "I believe it too."
"I believe you! You're such a bad old man!" Yang Dongxu almost raised his middle finger in disdain. The blank expressions on Buck and Brown's faces clearly meant that they couldn't understand the meaning of this later Internet term.
"Let's continue talking about things. We still have a lot of work to do." Yang Dongxu threw the newspaper aside without bothering to explain.
Buck and Brown put away their joking expressions. Obviously, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this report is an eye-catching report, and there is no need to worry about the authenticity of the content.
Besides, what if you really care about it? Isn’t it normal for a young and rich boss like Yang Dongxu to have a scandal with a female star?
So ridicule is ridicule. When the boss talks about work, it proves that the time to relax is over. Today I have to start brainstorming player selection again.
The criteria for selecting players are the same as yesterday, find someone who can shoot three-pointers from outside the line to share the pressure. In Yang Dongxu's impression, the whole 76ers because the boss was too stingy, Iverson always carried the team forward alone. Now as the owner of the 76ers, he will naturally not make such a mistake again. After all, he wants to A boss who wants a championship.
In addition to discussing the players to be reinforced this year, Yang Dongxu also has one more thing to do when he comes to the team this time, and that is the issue of Dayao's participation in the NBA draft.
Now Dayao is not well-known in China. After all, he was only selected for the national team last year. But Yang Dongxu, the number one player in the Chinese men's basketball team, has been paying attention to him. He has funded many sports projects and many national teams before, and he is familiar with Yao Yao.
So he wants to make a move to get Dayao to enter the NBA draft early, preferably with the 76ers. This one is two years earlier than the previous life, but the time is ripe.
The current NBA chairman, David Stern, can be said to be the chief architect of the NBA in the next few decades. In order to expand the NBA's global influence, especially in Asia, which has a large population.
Not only can he accept Yang Dongxu, a Chinese boss, but he is also willing to accept Chinese players. Because as long as we accept Chinese players, it is equivalent to opening up the Chinese market, and then there will be countless money.
So there is nothing wrong with letting Yao Ming come to the NBA two years earlier. The problem now is how to get Yao to the 76ers after he participates in the NBA draft.
In order to prevent the NBA team's strength from floating too much, or if you want it to float too much, spend more money. Therefore, the rules of the draft are generally that which team is the worst, which team has the best chance of getting the No. 1 pick, and then uses the No. 1 pick to lock in a talented rookie that he is optimistic about to play for his team.
The 76ers reached the finals last time, and this season they are further strengthening their efforts towards the championship. Therefore, it is impossible to compete with other teams to win the No. 1 pick, so trading is the only option.
But the problem now is that the current Dayao just entered the national team last year. Although his performance is stable, he is definitely not as good as himself two years later.
So even if there are basketball teams that are optimistic about the Chinese market, whether they are willing to use the No. 1 pick to sign Yao is a question. After all, the market is a market. Only when a team can produce corresponding results will the market expand. If a team cannot produce corresponding results, holding a key is of no use.
Therefore, at this time, the 76ers have to use enough chips to exchange for the No. 1 pick, and then locking in Yao is a bit uneconomical. After all, a No. 1 pick is very valuable, and it's not just money. Draft picks in the next few years, and even team player transactions, etc., have to be given enough chips to be picked and picked.
Therefore, if the operation is successful and Dayao starts participating in the draft next year, he may not necessarily be the No. 1 pick in 2002, so it is necessary to carefully discuss which draft order is the most cost-effective.
Of course, if you want to completely protect the No. 1 pick, it is also important. At that time, you can also take a look at the price offered by the team that got the No. 1 pick.
If his memory is correct, the 2000 draft can be regarded as one of the worst drafts in NBA history. Countless NBA scouts analyzed various data and made careful reports, and in the end they still ended up with the worst picks. Therefore, the No. 1 pick is not that valuable compared to previous years, and the price to win it should not be high.
After all, if the current Yao Yao is not as strong as two years later, but the team that won the No. 1 pick this year decided to gamble on luck and sign Yao, the subsequent transactions will be no small problem.
After discussing it for a long time in Buck's office, we didn't come up with a specific answer. After all, the new season has not yet begun. There is only a general direction as to which team is the worst. It will wait until the playoffs, and those teams that have not made it to the playoffs will be put together to compare who is worse.
So this still has a long period of time to operate slowly. The reason Yang Dongxu raised it so early is that he is not very familiar with the NBA draft rules.
Especially since Dayao is not an American but a Chinese, he doesn't know whether there will be a special channel for this draft. Therefore, he put forward the matter first and left it to Buck, a professional manager, to operate it. It is much better to prepare in advance than to be in a hurry when the time comes.
The final agreed-upon signings have not been finalized, but in this modern era where Iverson, the star player, only has a salary of 9 million US dollars, he dropped the 15 million US dollars signing standard.
Then he left Philadelphia and flew directly to Detroit, the automobile city in the United States. After being hit hard by the oil crisis in 1980, the city went from bad to worse and even declared bankruptcy more than ten years later.
