Chapter 1719: Come on, come on, come and watch the 'ba

The words thrown by Andy Smith in a telephone interview completely detonated the entire league. Almost every team owner and manager with a superstar came forward and accused the star team of losing the competitive fun of NBA.

And Vince Carter, who has been rumored to trade, said in an interview with espn: "For me, the team won not win the championship but not the honor, but an insult to me."

Although Carter's words were loud, these words undoubtedly offended many people. Perhaps he didn't care about them at all.

However, since the Celtics trio held the group, in just one season the Celtics have changed from a "fish team" to the league's top team. I am afraid that the speed of winning the championship is not even expected by the team.

As the Celtics successfully relied on the "Big Three" to win the championship, it is also the best model for star teams to win the championship. At least let the league ’s teams know that winning can be this way. Pack up, and want to hold the team are the peak players.

The single-core team mode is too difficult to win, and it is almost difficult to get out of the regional finals. After a team successfully wins the championship through the star team, and also meets the rules of the league, then the star has no reason not to choose this way, after all, the nba championship is Players, to be exact, are even more important than star players.

The fact that the world's richest man started to cheque and seduce the top stars, but made many teams uncomfortable and worried about death.

Someone once said that as the team's general manager, the most important issue is to find a superstar for the team, "so your life will be guaranteed."

But for those teams that already have superstars, how to retain them has become a new problem!

Whenever people say "Brooklyn" to LeBron James, the Cavaliers boss loses a few more hairs, and Pat Riley simply admits that he often has nightmares and dreams of Wade He said he was leaving Miami.

"Hahahaha ..."

Houston, in the Rockets conference room, a group of management looked at their bosses in the monitor and laughed happily, one by one blinking at each other, and really do n’t know what to say about their boss's willful behavior Already.

In terms of the current league salary cap, the Rockets' current lineup is much better. The luxury tax is quite touching. If you really trade the peak Dragon Dragon Bosh again, let alone others, always Manager Morey was going to cry first.

Because, regardless of cost of buying a superstar, it will definitely bring down the Rockets' healthy financial status, let alone make a profit, it is very difficult to reach the balance of payments.

"Ha ha ... James and the rookie Durant have said they will stay behind and win the championship? Ha ha, believe me, but in the end, realistic pressure will make them have to choose a better way.

Look at the Celtics, how effective the team is, hasn't Kobe Bryant also brought the team to Gasol?

This is the ziyou player market, you can do what you want. I admire the decisions made by the team, and I also admire the decisions of the players who choose to stay, because they do what they want to do. That's the power of the ziyou player market, isn't it? "

Andy doesn't care about his behavior that stirs up the situation. What he wants is to win the championship and build a three-time championship dynasty. What he wants is popularity and influence, so the value of the Rockets will skyrocket.

It's all star games, and its viewing is naturally unparalleled. It is also the biggest guarantee for the attendance of the stadium.

As for the life and death of other teams, it matters him!

"How's the negotiation with Yao team going?"

"Very smooth, but this is a very long negotiation process. After the 2010 contract expires, he will be 30 years old, and his injury is unknown, but he will definitely not get the second 5 years of 76 million. Big contract.

Our idea is that once he has a major injury in the process, he will be given a veteran base salary contract, with an annual salary of less than 1.5 million, and a 1 + 1 contract, the second year team option ... "

Professional managers are not stupid. Rocket's Morey has never been a warm general manager. MIT talents can only use data to speak.

After hearing the decision of his general manager, Andy was silent for a moment, instead of vetoing Morey's decision, but a quiet hum, no longer tangled with this issue.

To be honest, although Morey's decision made Andy speechless, all of this lies in Dayao's health, and no boss wants to raise a person who is in the dark.

If there are any unexpected injuries, then the veteran's basic salary contract is retained because Dayao itself has a good foundation. Everyone is willing to spend a small amount of money to get a result that may improve. You're welcome.

Many friends may say that Dayao is testing the big market in the dynasty. Isn't Andy's acquisition of the Rockets just for Dayao and the market behind it? Want to do business with Tianchao, would rather spend a little money to raise Dayao!

wake up!

Dayao does have great commercial value, but the premise of commercial value is sports value. You ca n’t play anymore. How can you promote the charm of sports, the health of sports, and the spirit of struggle?

Who would look at Dayao who is a mascot on the bench, or Dayao who can no longer dominate inside?

If he is seriously injured again, as the proud Yao of the dynasty, I am afraid that he will not renew his contract with the Rockets at all times and continue to stay on the NBA field. After so many years of hard work, he is enough to retire!

So, Andy, who is also a smart team owner, will not make irrational behaviors that are obviously not good at all. Still, professional matters are left to professional people to handle.

"Boss, in order to save the ball market, we discussed whether to lower the price of season tickets next season? At present, Toyota Center has 18,300 seats, of which 3,422 seats are priced at $ 25 or less. We want to put this in the next season. The number of seats for category fares has increased to 5069. "

Morey looked at the boss on the screen, looking helplessly for the boss's decision.

At the beginning of the season, the Rockets determined their main color of the season red, and proposed a slogan "red up", but as the financial crisis further extended and developed into an economic crisis, now the nba's main color has quietly changed Black, which of course includes the status quo of the Rockets. Even though the Rockets have a very good record this year, the attendance rate still cannot reach full capacity.

"What is our current attendance?"

Andy frowned as soon as the ticket price was reduced. He just raised the price at the beginning of the season, but now he has to tell him to reduce the price. Isn't this a joke!

"Our attendance rate is about 89% this season. Although it is a lot higher than most of the NBA teams, there are still a lot of empty seats in several games and it is very eye-catching on TV."

"There are so many of our stars, and the game is very good. How can we reduce the price ...

Do not drop, keep the ticket price unchanged! "

Andy directly rejected the proposal of a price reduction promotion. "You can think of other promotions and increase the sales of season pass packages. By the way, how is our cheerleading team pk game progressing?"

Hearing that the boss rejected the price reduction proposal, Morey didn't bother anymore. He proposed a price reduction for the season pass package, also in order to make the stadium full during the game. .

Hearing the cheerleading team ’s [pk] pk game, Morey also said with a bitter smile: "At present, they are still behind the Heat cheerleaders. After all, they are the three consecutive championships, and each team can only play in the" "Se" more work.

The cheerleader girls of the NBA teams are getting less and less, but there are more and more shows. In the case of unattractive games, they hope that the cheerleaders ’performance will become one of the few bright spots ..."

"puff"

At the hint of Morey's words, Andy almost vomited blood.

But think about it, as the nba of the entertainment industry, for ordinary American families, when they are rich, they are idle and go to watch a game, but now they have nothing to do on the court, why is it not clearer to watch TV? !! Perhaps only the cheerleading performances that can be seen on the scene can attract some fans to buy tickets to watch the ball ...

"Give them more opportunities for publicity, let them go to the internet, television, and street performances to canvass for votes. I spent so much money to develop cheerleaders. If they can't even get a championship, change them!"
