Chapter 114: 【Mr. Dong Guo and Wolf】

　　 On the 4th, the NBA officially announced the new season team strength list.
　　 ranked first in the league is the powerful Knicks, the Blazers, Lakers ranked second and third, the Jazz ranked fourth.
　　The Knicks' home opener was already hot, and everyone was waiting to watch their tyrannical jazz to get a good start for the new season.
The total salary of the Knicks is an exaggerated 66.13 million US dollars. According to the NBA's new labor agreement, 48% of the league's total income is the "salary cap", and 55% of the total income is the luxury tax boundary.
　　 This season, the league salary cap is 30 million US dollars. The Knicks have more than doubled and will be severely punished.
　　 The first penalty is that the money managed by the league will not be returned to the athletes. The second penalty is the luxury tax of one dollar for every dollar spent by the team above 55%. These two penalties go side by side. Potential penalties include the confiscation of 10% of the player’s money and natural abuse, which affects the team’s unity and stability.
　　 For a team like the Knicks, the boss is willing to spend a lot of money, so he doesn't care.
　　 is much more miserable. There is no star to join. The third oldest is one year older. The annual salary of 30.3 million has just reached the salary cap. Like the Raptors, it takes the money-saving route.
　　 Sloan has no confidence in the Knicks, plus last season, losing seven games in a row is too exciting.
　　 Unfortunately, the league will not consider for the Jazz. All they want is to open the gimmick. If the Bulls have no capital to be the Knicks’ opponent, they can only choose the Jazz.
Compared to the lineup, the Trail Blazers are not inferior to the Knicks, and the opener against the Supersonics also attracts attention.
　　The addition of Pippen and Camby made the Trail Blazers stronger. Sabonis, Pippen, Isaiah Leder, Rashid Wallace, and Stardamer's starting combination of terror, the bench also has Camby, Grant, Jim Jackson three strongman.
　　Jim Jackson, Jamal Marshburn, and Jason Kidd once formed a famous "three J combination" in the Mavericks, and then parted ways because he and Kidd were jealous for women's style.
　　 He averaged 15.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists last season, and the Trail Blazers are only the sixth man, which is too extravagant.
　　 The rebuilt Bull is predicted to be the penultimate, the three big stars leave, no other stars are willing to join, the team's boss is Kukoc, this has no fun to play at all.
　　 It's funny that Rodman, who had been asking for an annual salary of $10 million and felt good about himself, did not find a job until the beginning of the season.
　　 The only team interested in the "Big Bug" is the Heat. Although two consecutive seasons of fighting have not hindered the management's appreciation of Rodman, this is called a kind of gathering.
　　 But the Heat boss put forward three harsh conditions to Rodman: must observe discipline; the salary is only 1 million US dollars; must cooperate with the whole team. You can't do these three, please play with them.
　　 Rodman obviously couldn't do it, so I went to play.
　　 Raptors ranked only 24th, better than the Grizzlies in Canada, the introduction of two veterans, selected Carter is the reason for ranking better than last season, but still the bottom of the East, no one is optimistic about their playoffs.
　　The Toronto media expressed pessimism about the team's prospects, and still cannot accept the fact that the Raptors took Marcus Camby for Jermaine O'Neal.
　　More sports magazines have brought O'Neal's background to the bottom, worrying that he will destroy the team's locker room harmony because he is a problem youth.
　　O'Neal was born in a slum. When his father was born, his father's whereabouts was unknown. He had been mischievous since he was a child. He did not study well and his discipline was worse. In addition to his first-rate athleticism, his life was a mess.
　　 Fighting, fighting, rebellion, even if such a person grows tall, no coach is willing to take it no matter how fast he runs. In three years of junior high school, O'Neal has never played basketball on school teams, nor has he received any formal training.
　　 At the age of 15 to go to high school, O'Neal joined the basketball school team, 193CM in his first year of high school, 198CM in his second year of high school, and 208CM before his third year of graduation. After graduating from high school, after consulting with the coach and family, O'Neal decided to participate in the NBA draft to try his hand. In this test, a national record was made.
　　 In the summer of 1996, 17-year-old O'Neal was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 17th pick in the first round, creating the youngest NBA player.
　　 This is not a reassuring record. With a lot of play, he has only been training basketball for 5 years.
　　The first game of the Raptors was an away game against the Celtics. The comments before the game were one-sided, and everyone was optimistic about the Green Army. The core of the Green Army last season is still there, and joined the super rookie Paul Pierce.
　　 In the 1998 draft, the Celtics picked Pierce, who was predicted to be in the top three, with the tenth overall pick. Previously, the teams missed him. His comprehensive technology is a rare battle force this time.
　　 Butch Carter happened to be a Celtics assistant. He was interviewed before the game, and Yang Rui and the management were crazy.
"I feel very honored to join the Celtics. Rick Pitino is an experienced coach. I can learn a lot from him. The Raptors management signing Jerry Yang is totally nonsense and wants to use His Chinese coaching status attracted attention, and I don’t regret leaving that rotten team."
　　 The reporter asked: "The Knicks' offense improved significantly last season. Many people said that it was Jerry Yang's sake. What do you think?"
　　 "That kid was just lucky, he joined the Knicks, he can't lead the Raptors to win. I think the food show host is more suitable for him~EbookFREE.me~ Butch disdain.
　　 Butch said as if he couldn't get used to the status quo of the Raptors and took the initiative to resign. Glenn-Groward gave him a face without mentioning dismissal, but was bitten back and became the manager of "blind".
Before getting on the plane, Yang Rui answered the phone and heard this, and laughed: "Haha, Glen, now I know why I must let him get out of it? There is no reason to talk to this kind of person, and there is no need to face him. "
　　 should be vigilant in dealing with the wicked, and should not be willing to give sympathy at will, even if the other party is in adversity, it cannot be compassionate, and if you give a helping hand to the ungrateful, you may hurt yourself. The famous Chinese fable "Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf" explains such a truth.
　　Glen sighed: "This game must not lose, as long as you lead the team to win, it is the best counterattack."
"Of course we will win, but this little role, I haven't put it in my eyes." Yang Ruichang sighed: "There is one thing that I am more concerned about, can't the management team pack a better plane? "
　　 "This...we can't compare with the Knicks." Glen said awkwardly.
　　 The team has lost money year after year, so it can save money.
　　 got on the plane, Yang Rui and Thibodeau both felt a little cold, and looked at each other with only a wry smile.
　　 After enjoying the luxury jets in the Knicks, and then look at this plane of the Raptors, the gap is really big. When the team plays away, they all cooperate with airlines to charter flights, and only a few giants can enjoy the transformed special planes.
　　 The seats of the Knicks aircraft are more spacious than the first class, and the configuration of the Raptors, everyone is crowded together.
　　 More than two hours later, everyone arrived at the destination. Fortunately, the specifications set by the hotel are almost the same, and there are also meal supplements. This is the unified standard of the NBA.
　　Adaptation training in the morning on the 5th, and in the evening, the opener is about to begin.
