Chapter 794: Being Unable to Lose Is Lao Mi’s Traditional Performance and the Team’s Future Plan
In order to avoid the situation of being fine when he came but not expecting to be able to go back, Xu Ang decided to imitate a certain Luo's top brother - running away overnight.
The only difference between the two is that the eldest brother had to carry the train hard in order to escape, while Xu Ang took a group of people and left comfortably on a private plane.
Perhaps, this is the difference between the rich and the rich.
"Boss, fortunately you had anticipated this and we left in time."
During the flight, Kim Baylor took a call. The Clippers general manager took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead with a look of fear on his face.
His words attracted the attention of the Clippers players who were still curious about the layout of Xu Ang's private jet. Kobe and the others set their sights on Kim Baylor, their faces full of desire to explore.
They wanted to know why Kim Baylor said that and what happened in Chicago that would make Kim Baylor so scared.
In fact, Xu Ang knew without asking that it must be the fans in Chicago who were causing trouble.
It’s not difficult to understand when you think about it. If the team you support won an unprecedented 72 wins in the regular season and easily reached the finals, they faced a team that has been weak in the league for many years. What would you think? Do you think this is safe?
Imagine, 72 wins in the championship, the strongest record in the league's history. Isn't this better than Boren Chuanran?
Jordan won the championship for two consecutive years after his comeback. Couldn't they hope to create another Bulls dynasty next year?
Chicago fans are full of expectations at the thought of the second Bulls dynasty being established soon.
It's a pity that they met Xu Ang and the Clippers team after Xu Ang took over.
So, after four games, the Clippers led by Xu Ang gave the Bulls a big duck egg and killed them neatly with a score of 4-0.
The dream of the second Bulls dynasty has been shattered. Can Chicago fans not be angry?
What's even more annoying is that throughout the entire finals series, the Bulls couldn't see any hope of a comeback, which made the fans mentally shattered.
This is not enough. The most irritating thing is that the Clippers won the championship in Chicago, which is equivalent to Chicago fans watching their own team lose the championship.
They were furious.
Waving his hand, Xu Ang said: "It's not that I have foresight, but that I can predict their reaction. After all, not everyone can afford to lose."
You can't afford to lose, that's what Lao Mi has to offer.
It’s not just Laomi, the entire Angsa family of Western Yi is like this.
When they have the upper hand, they are full of great principles, telling you to have a structure, to be generous, and to abide by the rules. When they were defeated, they immediately tore off their previous disguises and turned from fake gentlemen into real robbers.
"It's just a traditional art, it's not that difficult to guess."
Xu Ang smacked his mouth and muttered something in a low voice.
He said this in Chinese. Jin Beile and the others did not understand it. They just guessed based on intuition. They felt that what Xu Ang said was not a good thing.
Of course, Jin Baylor and the others can understand.
Anyone would be dissatisfied if they had to leave the local area in a hurry for some reason on the day they won the first championship in team history.
Jin Baylor, who felt that he had guessed Xu Ang's thoughts, echoed: "Those Bulls fans are really too much. They actually surrounded the mansion we rented. At this moment, thousands of people gathered together to watch the chaos in the mansion. There were constant insults and some people threw things in. If we hadn’t left immediately on your private plane after the game, we would have been harassed a lot by them.”
After hearing Kim Baylor's words, the players also became afraid.
If it weren't for Xu Ang, if they didn't choose to leave overnight after winning the game, but thought of staying there for one night, the consequences would be disastrous.
Don't think that the quality of American people is high. That's just a boast by the public. In fact, the quality of the people here is really hard to describe.
What's more, you can't reason with violent fans who are so angry that they lose their minds.
Xu Ang asked a question: "The mansion was damaged. It seems that it was still rented by the team. The cause is also on the team's side. How are you going to deal with it, Elgin?"
If there were another owner, such as Sterling before, Kimbaylor would definitely tell the other team that the team would send a lawyer to negotiate with the owner of the mansion, and then there would be a long wrangling process. In short, if you can afford it, don’t pay it; if you can afford it, pay it less.
But the actual person in charge of the team is Xu Ang, so Jin Baylor has to think carefully.
After thinking for a moment, he tried to answer: "Since the matter happened because of the team, then we can pay as much as we should."
Then while observing Xu Ang's reaction, he added habitually: "But my suggestion is to go to the insurance company first and let the insurance company handle it first. What the team has to do is to cooperate with them. In any case, in this regard Insurance companies are more professional.”
According to American habits, it is impossible for such a freshman mansion to be without insurance. If the insurance company is used, the team will bear the responsibility, but the loss will be much less.
Nodding, Xu Ang was satisfied with Jin Beile's response.
"Just do what you say. On the big day when the team wins the first championship in team history, don't let some small things ruin the festive atmosphere. I think you should know what I mean, right."
"Yes, I understand."
Xu Ang will not pay a penny less for the money that should be spent, but Xu Ang will not pay a penny for the money that should not be spent. This money is to be compensated to Americans, not to his own compatriots, so Xu Ang would not be so generous.
"Okay, don't talk about these heavy topics."
Xu Ang signaled not to mention disturbing things, "I won the championship. Let's be happy and have fun. Let's get excited."
That is to say, the Gulfstream G550 is a reward for signing in, which can ensure that it is safe enough when flying. Otherwise, Xu Ang would not dare to say this if he changed to other aircraft.
Flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, even a gust of air may bring danger to the aircraft, not to mention the dozen or so big men inside the fuselage.
After playing hard for a season and winning the championship, I proved that I was the strongest team this season. The satisfaction and honor of reaching the top after hard work is so exciting that it is no better than taking an adrenaline shot. Always weak.
The players were celebrating, but Xu Ang was privately discussing next season with Kim Baylor and Bill Fitch.
The players can just focus on the present, but as the team's management they have to focus on the future.
"Bill, will you continue to coach the Clippers next season, or do you have other plans?"
Although he knew that Bill Fitch's contract with the Clippers had not yet arrived, Xu Ang still had to ask clearly. In the NBA, it is not only players who are poached, but also head coaches, assistant coaches, trainers, etc.
As long as you have the ability, someone will be willing to pay the liquidated damages for you.
Bill Fitch said without hesitation: "You know, I am a coach with a contractual spirit."
Although he led the team to win the championship, Bill Fitch did not drift away. He knew where the limits of his abilities were. There is no Xu Ang in other teams, and the owners of other teams will not be as generous as Xu Ang.
You must know that the bonus paid by the team this year alone is equivalent to his three years of income.
Even if the record next year will not be so good because of Xu Ang's departure, the bonuses will shrink, and the earnings will be more than in other teams.
Staying with the Clippers and making more money is one aspect, and the other is that Bill Fitch won the first championship for the team here. His status will be very different from that of other teams. At least the fans will have a filter for him. Even if his performance in the next one or two years is not ideal, there will be fans to support him. If you switch to another team, don't even think about such a good thing.
Bill Fitch secretly thought: In a year or two, Kobe will grow up. Coupled with Steve Nash, who entered the league at the same time as him and is also growing, the team will be able to achieve results in two years. There will definitely be more and more fans supporting me by then, which is simply wonderful.
As everyone in the league knows, the NBA is a business league, everything here is business, and everyone who ends up has his or her own business knowledge.
No matter what loyalty you talk about, no matter what feelings you talk about, nothing can retain people as much as tangible benefits.
"Very good, then we don't have to worry about choosing the head coach for the new season."
Xu Ang is very satisfied that Bill Fitch chose to stay instead of changing jobs after having achieved results.
Although Bill Fitch is recognized as a league firefighter, he is best at turning bad cards into good results, and is not suitable for coaching a championship team. But don't forget, the biggest reason why the Clippers won the championship this season is because Xu Ang is there.
If Xu Ang does not participate in the game, with the strength of the Clippers, even if they do not make it out of the first round of the playoffs, they will reach the second round at most, and they will not even make it to the conference finals.
This is still under the premise of Barkley.
Barkley will not stay with the Clippers next season. His wish to win a championship is over. He will return to the Suns next season and return to the group of fans who let him go for his championship dream.
Without Xu Ang and Barkley, the Clippers' strength will shrink by more than half. Relying only on Kobe and Nash in their infancy, as well as Ben, who has very weak offensive power, and O'Neal Jr., the Clippers were instantly knocked back from the league's top team and became a weakling again.
Wouldn't it be just right for Bill Fitch to coach such a team.
It was precisely because Bill Fitch saw this clearly that he chose to stay after taking various factors into consideration. Otherwise, he would not have agreed so happily and would have waited for a price.
"The head coach is confirmed, let's talk about the players. There will be a lot of changes in the members of the team in the new season. The first is the old players, such as Kevin Duckworth, who got a team at the end of their careers. With a championship ring, everyone wants nothing more. Even if they don’t choose to retire, they may not be suitable to stay with the Clippers.”
"The reason why I chose to train young players like Kobe and Nash as the main force of the team is completely contrary to the current mainstream practice of the league - in the first year of entering the NBA, rookies, except for a few with explosive talents, must Waiting for opportunities on the bench, because in my plan the Clippers will be a team full of energy and momentum."
"Young players are full of energy. They long for fame, and those who are famous also long for recognition. If they dare to fight and fight hard, the team will maintain its upward momentum. A team full of energy, even if they are young, There are immature places, but they are full of hope, which makes people look forward to their future and makes fans have enough patience for the team.”
"When the fans see these players grow up little by little under their own witness, the emotions they pour into during this process will transform into a full sense of accomplishment and a sense of closeness to the team and players. In this way, the team As long as the quality of the team's management is not bad, it will maintain a good basic foundation. It can gradually become bigger and stronger based on this basic foundation."
"Although this process takes a long time, and the team wants to achieve results like this year, it will take at least several years to improve, but it is a long-term and sustainable plan. The most important thing is to wait until this group of players reaches their peak. When the period is over, we can continue with the next batch of players using the same operation.”
"You see, a virtuous cycle is established like this.
Get up, and the team's future will become extremely bright. I believe that as long as they go according to plan, if nothing goes wrong, the Clippers will establish their own brand and become a presence alongside the Lakers, instead of being dominated by the Purple and Golden Dynasty in Los Angeles as they are now. "
Jin Beile licked his lips. Xu Ang's words made him realize the gap between himself and the boss. While he was still elated about the results in front of him, Xu Ang had already planned the team's future and laid out his entire plan. I feel that as long as I don’t make mistakes, the chances of my plan coming true are very high.
I, Kim Baylor, hope to be one of the founders of the Clippers dynasty...
The bright future makes Jinbeile feel like he has been given a shot of chicken blood, and every cell in his body is full of energy.
Little did he know that what Xu Ang was thinking was: It's just a big cake. Haven't you seen a pig running? Have you never eaten pork?
Among the big guys in the Internet era, who is not a good storyteller? Learn a few tricks from them. In this era when the Internet is just emerging, who is not a master of deception?
Not only was Kim Baylor very excited after hearing this, but Bill Fitch also had brilliant eyes.
With such a rich and talented owner controlling the general direction of the team, even if Kim Baylor is a pig, the future of the Clippers will be the same. Bill Fitch only hates that he is just a head coach. It would be great if he could be deeply bound to the team, such as becoming a minority shareholder of the team.
Seemingly guessing what Bill Fitch was thinking, Xu Ang said to him: "Bill, you have seen roughly the strength of Daba. Their performance in the playoffs and finals is not bad. With their strength, they can enter the NBA." They can play, and they have only been exposed to the NBA's advanced training system for a long time. There is still a lot of room for improvement if you can sign them to the team and take this opportunity to reach some cooperation with China's professional teams. , both you and Elgin can be on the team’s board of directors, that’s what I said.”
There are some things that it is not convenient for Xu Ang to come forward, otherwise there will definitely be villains who will make trouble in secret. If Jin Baylor and Bill Fitch are allowed to take the initiative, they will encounter much less resistance.
Xu Ang thought carefully that China's basketball training system is not as advanced as that of the United States. In order to prevent Chinese players from wasting their talents due to external factors such as training, he does not mind letting the Clippers become a springboard connecting Chinese players with the NBA. .
In other words, this is not only for the future of Chinese basketball, but also can bring him huge economic benefits and influence in other aspects.
Xu Ang couldn't think of a reason not to do it.
