On January 18th, Wang Yuanfei, as usual, finished his elective courses in school. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn his previous life, he studied business and finance at university, and this time he was reborn and majored in management. These majors are relatively close, there are some knowledge complements each other, and they are not too unfamiliar to make him spend too much energy on his studies, after all, the team is his main business project.

The driver had already parked his car in a parking space outside the school building, and Yuan Fei naturally got into the car and instructed the driver to drive to the Toyota Center Arena. There's a game against the old nemesis Mavericks tonight, so don't miss it.

At this moment, his mobile phone rang, an unfamiliar number. Yuan Fei hesitated slightly, but still picked up the call.

"Jason, my old friend!" An enthusiastic voice came.

"Mark. Cuban? Yuan Fei guessed with some doubts.

"Haha, that's a lot of ears. That's me! Cuban laughed and said: "I also came to the away game today to watch this game, so I specially said hello first." ”

"Oh? How is the Kuban boss so free? It seems that there has been a lot of money in the business field recently. Yuanfei teased.

"Exactly, I have money in hand to support the box office of the rockets."

"Our Rockets' home stadium is full, so we don't need to support you. I took my heart. Yuan Fei's words were soft and hard, and he choked Kuban.

"Brother Jason, you said that I invest so much every year, why hasn't my performance improved too significantly?" Kuban hurriedly changed the subject.

That's what you're asking, right? Yuan Fei secretly laughed: "Brother Mark, your team is now 27-11, second only to the Rocket-Pistons and Spurs, ranking fourth in the league, isn't this an improvement?" I don't think the calf is not strong, it's that you are too greedy, right? ”

"If I were in the east, I would be content with this record." Kuban smiled bitterly: "It's just that I'm in the southwest region, and your two mountains, Rockets and Spurs, are too ferocious." The first place in the Northwest and Pacific regions has to be ahead of me, and if you go to the end of the season in this order, the Mavericks can only rank fifth in the West, and they will play the Spurs in the first round! Is this fourth-place record in the league a fart? I can't get into the second round, I'm going crazy! ”

(Quick Knowledge: Due to the weakness of the Northwest Region during this period, the first place in the Northwest Region will rank third in the West with a poor record every year.) In the summer of '06, the league was forced to change the ranking rules, and the division leader with the worst record would become the fourth place in the division if the record was not as good as the second place in the division. This change slightly addresses the injustice of the original ranking)

"Dude, the team is built to come little by little, how can you become a fat man in one bite?" Yuanfei had a good impression of Cuban in his previous life, so he deliberately said more: "I see that your operation this year is good, and you are no longer in a hurry, but to stabilize the current lineup and adjust it slowly." ”

"Oh? Is it? Cuban's voice suddenly became excited, "I thought I had invested less this year, and I felt a little guilty." I didn't expect to be praised by you instead. The king's Chrysostom is praised, but it is rare. ”

"Come on, don't be a sycophant. If you hadn't been too impatient to rebuild the year before last, Nash wouldn't have been able to get last year's MVP. "Yuanfei deliberately poked Kuban's scar." The brother knows that he can change his mistakes, and he admires and admires them. ”

"Are you praising me or hurting me?" That's when the Kuban tasted it.

"If you don't laugh, Nelson Jr. in '03 (the son of Nelson Sr., the manager of the Mavericks) was running too badly. The first thing your team lacks is a central vertebrae: Nowitzki is the best spacing four in the league, but you've got him a partner like Walker and Jamison. What the Mavericks lack is not an interior line that can score, but a steely tough guy center. A center who can grab rebounds, protect the frame, and fill in for other teammates. Yuanfei finally said some nutritious words: "Later, Dampier and Diop were brought in, and it was okay." To be honest, although they are not excellent, they are at least on the right path in terms of team building ideas. ”

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that? Kuban in front of the phone listened and nodded repeatedly.

"10 people played, but there was only one ball. It's not like if you get five people who average 25 points per game, the team will average 125 points per game. You didn't cherish it when you had such a good point guard as Nash, but D'Antoni cherished it, and Nash became an MVP. Now you still have a good power forward like Nowitzki, you must cherish it and use it in the right way. Yuan Fei continued to click: "Don't just try to buy famous players, buy the right players." ”

"That's right! Look at my players, adding up to more than 98 million, except for the Knicks, who are the first in the league! But when put together, it doesn't work very well. I really envy you, the Rockets don't have tens of millions of players, but they play so well. Kuban said this from the heart.

"To be honest, I admire you as a man." Yuanfei suddenly changed the subject.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Kubanch said.

"You invested more than 400 million yuan to build a new stadium for the team, specially ordered a Boeing 757 for the team as a charter plane, argued with the referee many times, and protested to the league's top management...... You're the best boss in the league. I'm second at best. Yuanfei's words are not modest at all, but from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, Brother Jason, you stood out for the players in the West last year and paid a fine in anger, which also won my heart!" The bold Kuban burst out laughing.

"We're in the right temper, so I can't just take care of myself. If Brother Mark can trust me, I'll help you pick someone for this year's draft! Yuanfei finally made up his mind.

"Is that true?" Kuban was overjoyed. The Rockets' draft toughness is well-known throughout the league, and although he doesn't know why, he knows that the Rockets must have some unique secret. Cuban has invested in a number of projects, including a website that focuses on the NBA draft, and even then he has not done much in the draft.

"The gentleman is quick to say a word, and the horse is whipped, and it is decided." However, Yuan Fei turned to show the face of a wealth fan: "I heard that you have a new high-definition video live broadcast outside, do you want to do some cooperation with our Chinese basketball?" ”

"As long as you help me make some suggestions on team building, it's easy to talk about any cooperation." Kuban was very smart and happily agreed: "I'm a fool with a lot of money!" ”

"Okay, I'll see you at the Toyota Center in a moment!" Yuan Fei hung up the phone and couldn't help but show a hint of triumph. He had long wanted to help Kuban, but he didn't find the opportunity. This time, the other party took the initiative to send him to the door to talk, and he was happy to push the boat to do personal favors, and by the way, he also helped Chinese basketball to engage in some online promotion in the United States, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. After winning two championships, Yuanfei's eyes are not limited to the Rockets in the NBA, and he hopes to use a little of his strength in his lifetime to make some contributions to the development of Chinese basketball.
