Chapter 292
The Clippers are a typical quasi-playoff strong team this season. They have big-name players, and the main substitute is very interesting. They don't feel afraid to play anyone at home.

But that's all. The entire Clippers basically don't have a complete offensive and defensive system. The basic offense relies on singles, and the defense relies on man-to-man. Captain Brand breaks out, or some role players transform, and they can win the game. Otherwise, you lose the game.

The head coach of the Clippers, Alvin Gentry, is only in his sixth season of nba coaching career, which is relatively shallow for the head coach, and among them, he only led the Pistons to a shrinking season in 98 In the playoffs, they were eliminated in the first round.

"Today there is no doubt that the morale of the Clippers is very strong. They have the strength and determination to make it to the playoffs. Blow after blow."

For the NBA's away team, it is usually more difficult. Even if it is a bottom-level team that missed the playoffs, the home record is always much stronger than the away game. This is an iron rule.

Even if the away games are all lost, the home fans are not present, and the grievances are often not so great, but the home game is completely different. The fans spend a lot of money to buy tickets. It was hit hard on all fronts.

For nba owners, the biggest income in a year, apart from TV broadcasting rights and advertising expenses, is home game ticket income. It belongs to the team's own income.

Generally speaking, most nba teams are still losing money, so the nba union and owners are always haggling over money. The players feel that they get less, while the owners feel that they have invested so much, but they lose money almost every year. Everyone will feel dissatisfied.

But isn't investing in an NBA team a good deal?In fact, it is not the case. Although the operation of the nba team does not make money, you will make a lot of money if you sell it in the future.

When Alexander bought the Rockets in 1993, he spent 8500 million U.S. dollars, which was already his entire net worth. He can be said to be the poorest owner in the NBA. He sold the Rockets in 2017 for a valuation of 22 billion U.S. dollars. nearly 24 times.

湖人杰里·巴斯1979年买入湖人花了6750万美金，2017年的估值不低于30亿美金，1981年斯特林买入快船花了1250万美金，2014年被强制出售的时候卖了20亿美金。

Regardless of whether it is a physical industry or investing in any industry, it is actually quite difficult to obtain such a high return within 30 to [-] years. NBA teams are scarce, and it is difficult for you to buy as much as you want in the market. The price in the buyer’s market , will naturally rise with the tide.

If there is no rebirth of Verus, the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors, plus the Grizzlies, will be the bottom three in the Western Conference around 2000. They will take turns competing for the bottom one, and no one will let the other , It's hard to say.

The reason why the Clippers have a feeling of rebirth this season stems from the arrival of captain Elton Brand, supplemented by McGinnis, Richardson, Odom, Maggette, Olowokan Dee, Miles, Piakowski and other strong players, the New Century Clippers have won many excellent rookies, and most of the players they selected are very good.

Verus was extremely magnanimous and generous to players who couldn't play in the Warriors. It's okay for those who want to go back to Europe, and it's okay for those who want to go to China to pan for gold. In team play, Verus will not artificially set up obstacles.

For Verus, with iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers, the long-term operation of the nba club must not rely solely on one player or one coach. Although Joe Gang has created a prosperous Red Bull dynasty, the subsequent period of decline may be For many years.

The current player in the Warriors, Uncle Mu’s contract is very high. The reason why Verus can get Mutombo from the Eagles is that he is over 35 years old, which makes other NBA teams have doubts. Since 2001, Uncle Mu has been wandering for four NBA clubs in 4 years. Although the salary is high, no team dares to bet on whether Lao Mu can still perform so vigorously next season.

历史上穆大叔42岁的时候，在2009年4月11日还能出战35分钟，砍下10分15个篮板，而且这还是老穆同志可能报小了年龄的情况下。

Therefore, in the entire NBA league, only Verus is not worried about Mutombo's condition at all. As long as he takes good care of him, Uncle Mu will have no problem playing for another seven or eight seasons.

Then McGrady’s annual salary is not low. The Warriors are the only player with an annual salary of more than [-] million US dollars. Uncle Mu accepted the guaranteed contract of the Warriors with a long-term salary reduction. Big Ben Wallace and Hill both joined with a salary cut. Hill is completely Coming to the championship, Big Ben came to the Warriors from the Magic, and he didn't care too much about his salary.

The magic weapon for Verus to attract players is the long tenure. Generally, any nba player, even if it is a superstar superstar, is also worried that his state will decline next year and the next year. He always expects the team to give him a super long contract. , the annual salary is not important.

After all, if you can stay in this league for one more year, your advertising contracts and other income will not be cut off. Signing a short contract with a high annual salary is actually very risky. After all, no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Generally, nba owners would rather sign short-term contracts with players. At most, they can only raise the price if they play well. semicolon.

Jermaine O'Neal, Bruce Bowen, and Billups are all players that other clubs don't want. Verus didn't squeeze them too much, and provided a contract with a standard maximum number of years. Yes, whoever really treats them well will be clear in their hearts.

The others are rookies such as Yao Ming, Gasol, Randolph, Battier, and Arenas. The rookies all have contracts stipulated by the NBA, and the Warriors only provide them according to the maximum number of years.

For a second-round pick like Arenas, Verus will not engage in any 1+1 or shorter contract. This is not to help other teams cultivate rookies. Our general manager, Veruswei, will do this.

"The Warriors, who collapsed in the last quarter, unexpectedly lost 95:109 to the Los Angeles Clippers in an away game. The Clippers have a record of 30 wins and 30 losses so far this season. They are very hopeful to enter the Western Conference playoffs, and the Warriors must keep their position. It also needs more work.”
