Wang Tu Baye

Chapter 354
At the beginning, Dennis Rodman was not popular when he came to the Warriors. The players hardly talked to him. Naturally, it was impossible for Rodman, the big bug, to chat with these little guys in his eyes. From the training ground to daily life , They are like people from the two teams, with almost no communication.

But in the last stage of the regular season this season, and after the first two rounds of the playoffs, the assistant coaches and players in the Warriors looked at Rodman much softer. Can speak with strength.

You can help the team win. No matter how arrogant you are, no one will say anything. Those who are capable will be welcomed there, and those who have no strength and show off will be hated. Rodman obviously It is the former.

At the beginning, many people went to head coach Lenny to complain, claiming that the arrival of Rodman's mouse shit would destroy the unity and cohesion of the Warriors. In short, too many people said too many bad things about Rodman.

Lenny always smiled and listened, and then comforted every assistant coach, player, and even the staff. In the end, everyone found that the plague god could not be driven away, and they could only let it go. Anyway, he did not train with others, and the headquarters base is so big. I feel a little tired in my heart. In fact, the existence of Rodman does not affect the lives of other people.

Rodman's performance has aroused great interest from other NBA clubs, especially the Lakers, the Warriors' opponents in the Western Conference Finals. From their head coach Phil Jackson to the OK combination Shaquille O'Neal, they all spoke to the news media to praise Rodman. Deman, calling him the greatest rebounder of all time in the NBA.

Even the general manager and management of the Lakers, intentionally or unintentionally, let out rumors, hoping to introduce Rodman next season. After all, the contract between the Warriors and Rodman will expire after this season's playoffs. Going to play there this season is actually very free. If you are unhappy, you can retire at most. Basically, no one will use contracts to tie these old players.

The Warriors players and coaches who originally had a disdainful attitude towards Rodman are scrambling to offer advice to Lenny at this time, hoping to keep Rodman and continue to play for the Warriors next season.

Lenny smiled and comforted these people. Just like before, after everyone expressed their thoughts and opinions, they received Lenny's high praise and left satisfied, as if they were all leaving behind Rodman. One of the great heroes.

Verus seldom expresses his opinion in public. He is not worried about Rodman's contract at all. Since he dared to revise the contract with Rodman to a one-year contract, he naturally has his own confidence. This little trick of the Lakers is to fool other People may be able to deal with Rodman and Verus, which is obviously not enough.

First of all, Rodman will go there next season. Before the playoffs are over, it is obviously not suitable for public discussion, but the Lakers have repeatedly hyped it up like this. If they don't sign Rodman this season, they have no loss at all. As long as they build more momentum before the Western Conference Finals and let the Warriors disrupt their position, their goal will be achieved.

Secondly, the Lakers can offer the veteran's basic salary clause at most. The annual salary of 100 million US dollars may be attractive to the cash-strapped Rodman. After all, all nightclubs in Las Vegas need to spend money. It is better to have melons and dates than to have no money.

But now Rodman is still interested in the hypocrisy of other NBA teams. The veteran's basic salary can't satisfy his appetite. He will not play for the Warriors next season, and it is conceivable that he will not be able to get such a generous treatment. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but from luxury to a hard and simple life, I am afraid that Rodman will never be able to do so. Accepted.

It is certainly impossible for other NBA teams to pay such a high price to sign Rodman. Players who cannot score are getting old again. Participating in competitions and many other tight-knit spells was the only way to get that money.

Verus didn't go to Rodman at all. As soon as the game with the Kings was over, he disappeared. He must have gone to the nightclub in Las Vegas again, and asked him to stay in San Francisco for four or five days to prepare for training. , This is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Before Rodman drove away from San Francisco, Verus' lawyer and business partner handed him a short-term contract for a summer parade in China to sign. Rodman looked at the six shining zeros behind the contract and signed without hesitation. Man, that's the truth, and talking about anything else doesn't do him any good.

Verus will not only win Rodman a player, other Warriors players are more important assets, Rodman is just a passerby in the end, at most he will play for the Warriors for another two or three years, and he will play as a surprise player , It is difficult to expect him to play 82 games in the regular season. The current Warriors players are the cornerstone of the Warriors dynasty for the next ten years.

Therefore, Verus' Shenzhou Sports Company and various business partners have sent many new endorsement contracts and sponsorship terms to the Warriors players. Since Dayao became the No. [-] pick in the NBA draft, the popularity and popularity of the entire NBA in China The degree of attention has shown explosive development.

Verus has monopolized the broadcasting of almost the entire NBA in China. From the universe station to the local sports stations, Pandora produced and broadcast countless NBA games and sports news interviews and other sports programs. The Warriors reached the NBA Western Conference finals, smelling blood Advertisers who came to their door stepped on the threshold of Pandora's Shenzhou branch.

You must know that this is a game closely watched by hundreds of millions of Chinese fans. It is foreseeable that more than tens of millions of Chinese fans will watch and pay attention to each Western Conference Finals. The advertising time between games that Verus took out is directly split into countless The 15-second auction, the highest bidder wins. All the rich and powerful manufacturers in China bid wildly, and many bosses issued instructions to their subordinates to leave if they couldn't get an advertisement.

Verus will not eat alone, and he will not be able to eat for many years. Working in China, he cannot rely on contracts and rules and regulations. Those are actually far less reliable than interpersonal relationships. Many Golden State Warriors employees expressed their incomprehension about this.

Verus didn't have time to explain to these white people. It was just one sentence. If you don't understand, you have to do it, and if you understand it, you have to implement it. The number of years becomes longer, so that both parties are happy, and it is enough to be able to explain to the higher-level leaders.
