390: Chatting Hard December, Wayne's Final Step (6.8K(1/4)
Wayne didn't know that the stingy Mamba who was far away in Los Angeles was trembling because he was not suspended.
But since the helm leader gave me a chance, it must not be wasted.
Next, we must be a good person, play well, and win in a row.
Thanks to the Lord of the Helmsman for his trust and... Paul Allen's fine...
Well, after the alliance issued a ticket, the boss took 20,000 yuan without saying a word and paid the fine.
I didn't even ask a question.
Don't ask, ask, the Trail Blazers are now 18 wins and 1 loss.
I am happy that I can’t buy money!
I feel relieved to spend this money!
But as we all know, rich people are hated, especially in the NBA, a league where there are more wolves and fewer meats.
Although players earn a lot of cash every year, most of the team owners are generating electricity for love.
Rich people like Paul Allen don’t care, but rich people like Dolan, who can still make money no matter how bad the Knicks are, don’t care.
But they are only a few after all.
Most bosses have found it difficult to bear the losses for years.
As this labor-management agreement is about to expire in 2011, the bosses of each team are restless.
I hope to introduce some stop loss methods in advance.
The most sensational one is to lower the salary of players and fundamentally curb the source of expenses.
What is the biggest part of each team’s expense? That is the salary of the players.
Of course, everyone knows it is very difficult to reduce the salary of players and must find another way out.
Therefore, another key point is the cliché issue - balance!
The Guangqiang team cannot make money, but our small team also needs to make money!
You can’t just get stars, our small team must also have stars!
Paul Allen also knows that the league is preparing to come out with an upgraded version of the luxury tax rules recently.
Because many people find that the current luxury tax seems to be of no use to some teams.
Therefore, many bosses jointly asked the rudder to complete a stricter luxury tax rule.
"Brother Writing" Gilbert: Why do you think of me? I never like to participate in such things!
The specific rules have not been released yet, but Paul Allen heard some rumors.
The normal luxury tax rule is that every time a team exceeds the luxury tax line, they will pay a luxury tax of $1.
That is to say, if a team's total salary this season exceeds 10 million in the luxury tax line, then the boss will have to pay the players an additional 10 million to hand it over to the league.
But next, the alliance is likely to introduce an "incremental tax collection law". That is, the more you get, the more you pay? Thanks for the more you pay? Come and participate.
The specific rules have not been released yet, but it is probably - if the excess salary is less than 5 million? Then follow the old rules? Pay one more yuan.
If the excess salary is greater than 5 million, then you will pay more than 100 million yuan.
If it is more than 10 million, it will be more than one piece and two or five pieces, and so on.
It must be said that this is indeed a very strong punishment.
This is more than that? In addition to the incremental tax payment rules, there is another rule that if a team exceeds the luxury tax payment line for three seasons within five years, it will trigger a larger luxury tax, which can reach a maximum of more than one yuan and two hundred and twenty cents!
This is very confusing.
Although some NBA bosses are not short of money? But no one’s money is not blown by the strong wind.
If this new luxury tax rule is really passed and introduced? It will undoubtedly be a major blow to Paul Allen's money-capable person.
So Paul Allen didn't care about the fine of $20,000. What he had to face next might be a series of difficult problems...
Wayne doesn't have so many worries for the time being. He is so happy that he can continue to fight.
In the game against the New York Knicks on December 4, Wayne told the New Yorkers his excitement with his 34 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.
New York fans: I thank you!
In today's game? Wayne and Paoer played a lot of wonderful two-player cooperation.
When Virgo is here, St. Paul will become a little brother in seconds.
Passing as the main point? Score as the auxiliary point.
Paoer also sent 12 assists today, and the Trail Blazers easily defeated the Knicks.
I wonder what I would feel when Donny Walsh, the then general manager of the Knicks, watched Wayne rage on the court.
After the Knicks? The Trail Blazers continue their East away (score points) journey? Facing the 3-12 Washington Wizards back to back.
You can tell from the results that the Wizards are so outstanding this season.
Arenas's continuous injuries made the Wizards go directly to Blake Griffin in the summer of 2009.
In this game, after Yao Ming, Maike witnessed the magic of another Chinese player.
In McGee's opinion, Wayne is so tall but can shoot the ball in various postures like the outside line, which is simply outrageous!
It's even more outrageous than Yao Ming!
And McGee, who was unwilling to be outdone, also gave Wayne a good look.
This is the first time Wayne has seen Olajuki's magical thinking.
During an attack, McGee first broke through, and faced Wayne's backup defense, he hooked the ball out with an incredible hook.
Wayne was confused at that time. I have learned this trick for so long but haven't learned it. Are you able to do it again?
McGee: No, I'm just hooking.
Well, McGee didn't lie. He was really a fool because the basketball hit the front of the basket, which was ridiculously biased.
But the Wizards were lucky, and the basketball bounced directly outside the three-point line and fell into the hands of Wizards players.
As soon as Dee Brown got the basketball, he saw a windy man running past him.
Looking back... it's a big rumor.
Well, he went back to defend after his shot missed, and he didn't even see who the ball was in his hands.
In an instant, the Wizards became a situation of four-for-five offense.
Dee Brown looked confused, not... Although he really couldn't beat him, he wouldn't give up directly!
We are still attacking, brother!
Da Ji was also confused, Ah... isn't the attack over yet?
Hahahaha, what an accident, what a surprise.
On the Wizards' bench, Nick Young couldn't help laughing.
With McGee's team, there is no shortage of joy~
Even if you lose, you're happy.
With Damaiki's crazy performance, this boring game has some highlights.
The Trail Blazers defeated the Washington Wizards without any suspense and won their second ten-game winning streak this season!
At this point, the Trail Blazers' record this season has also reached 20 wins and 1 loss.
In comparison, the Wizards' victory was still 3 games...
The gap is indeed quite huge.
How professional is the Wizards? It’s only until Wayne suddenly discovered that Wizards coach Ed Tapscott, he has never heard of them in his previous life or now!
After surfing the Internet, I found out that this guy is a management staff member and the head of the player development department of the Wizards!
To put it bluntly, the Wizards didn't hire a serious head coach at all, so they just went to work part-time.
There is no one else to make this decision.
At the post-match press conference, a reporter also asked Wayne: "It's time to win ten consecutive games again. Last time, the team was upset by the Warriors at the stage of ten consecutive games.
This time, will you fall in the same place again? Are you under pressure?"
Wayne is very confident: "There is no pressure, we will try our best in every game. The winning streak is just a number, and we don't care."
This is so lies... Wayne himself doesn't believe it!
Just like a strong young man saying that he is not lustful - it's fake!
What? You said there are indeed young men who don’t like women?
So if he doesn’t like men, he will be lewd?
Wayne is greedy for this winning streak!
To be continued...
