The Players Who Take the Initiated Additional Training
"Everyone's performance is not bad. We've beaten the opponent by an average of 27.3 points in eight games.”
On the plane back to Philadelphia, Li Muchen looked at the group of energetic young men and praised them with a smile.
The rookies of the 76ers had performed very well in the summer league, and Big Yao's outstanding performance made the Chinese fans even more excited.
The Chinese fans were thrilled and excited. Li Muchen's butler and the CEO of the 76ers were even more excited. Because of Big Yao, the Summer League, which was originally not popular, was broadcasted live by Xixi TV5. Just the broadcast of the Summer League, the copyright and advertising fees, had earned Li Muchen millions of dollars.
When Li Muchen took over the 76ers, he naturally took over all the rights and interests of the 76ers. The surrounding areas of the 76ers team, tickets, advertisements, live broadcast rights, and so on, all belonged to Li Muchen.
Similarly, the expenses of the 76 employees were also borne by Li Muchen. For example, the salary of the LOGO man, the salary of the coach Thibodeau, the salary of the players Iverson, Big Yao, etc. were all paid by Li Muchen.
Moreover, the team's expenses, such as the players 'three meals a day, travel expenses, hotel expenses, stadium repairs, etc., all needed Li Muchen to pay.
Although the 76ers didn't have a general manager or head coach, Li Muchen was very generous, so the expenses of the 76ers were greater than their income.
Li Muchen was not particularly concerned about money. It was 2002. Li Muchen could casually buy a house in China, invest in Apple, Penguin, A'li, and Pig Farm, and buy their shares. Li Muchen would not be short of money in the future.
Li Muchen, who had a start-up capital of 100 million yuan, would easily become the richest man in China in the future.
However, Li Muchen could let the 76ers suffer losses. The president of the 76ers, David West, and Li Muchen's butler, Minas Terry, would never allow this to happen.
If the 76ers continued to suffer losses, the two of them would definitely become the laughing stock of the industry.
Therefore, after David West took office, he had been thinking of ways to make money for Li Muchen.
A team's way of making money was nothing more than broadcasting, advertising, tickets, and derivative products such as jerseys, mascots, souvenirs, and so on.
Currently, Jerry West had helped Li Muchen earn more than three million dollars through the broadcasting rights and advertising fees of the summer league. All of this money was earned from China.
After the money entered the 76ers 'account, Jerry West immediately fell in love with China. After the summer league game, he kept suggesting that Li Muchen bring the 76ers players to China to earn various fees.
NBA stars visiting China was a common occurrence in the future. It could be said that all NBA All-Stars had visited China before.
However, in 2002, the idea of going to China was undoubtedly very advanced. After all, the Americans knew too little about China.
Li Muchen had rejected the offer.
Li Muchen's reason for refusing was simple. Yao Yao's strength was far from O'Neal's. He needed to train seriously in the next three months to fight against O'Neal in the new season.
Even if he could not compete with O'Neal, he had to become the second center forward besides O'Neal.
Li Muchen was the owner of the 76ers, and his words were the imperial edict in the 76ers. Although Jerry West wanted to make money with Big Yao, he had to listen to Li Muchen.
...........................................
After returning to Philadelphia and returning to the Wachovia Center Stadium, he gathered all the players of the 76ers and said with a smile under the gaze of all the players.
"From today onwards, your holidays are here. All players are free to allocate their time. If you want to go on a holiday, go on a holiday. If you want to participate in commercial activities, go. In short, everyone has to come back on October 1st.”
Li Muchen's words immediately caused a sensation. Many staff members and individual players were delighted.
They could finally rest.
Normally, after the 76ers were eliminated, they would be on " vacation." However, since the 76ers had a new boss and there were all kinds of transactions within the team, no one dared to rest at this time for fear of offending the new boss.
Now that the boss had personally announced the holiday, he was naturally very happy.
"Coach, can I stay here and train?”
Suddenly, a player stared at Li Muchen and said. Li Muchen turned his head and saw that it was this year's rookie, Stoudemire.
"Of course, you're very welcome!"
Li Muchen said with a smile. The coachman continued to look at Li Muchen and asked again,"Coach, can you make a training plan for me yourself?”
Upon hearing what Stoudemire said, many of the players present immediately perked up their ears. Li Muchen was an excellent physical strength coach. If they trained strictly according to his training plan, they would improve very quickly.
Dayao was a classic example.
"Of course!"
Li Muchen nodded in agreement. They were all players of the 76ers, so Li Muchen naturally would not ignore them.
"Coach, I want to stay and train!!!”
Stoudemire was the first to express his stance. He and Big Yao were both rookies this year and were known as the two towers of the 76ers. He did not want to be too far behind Big Yao.
"Coach, I want to stay too. I also want you to make a training plan for me!!!”
Raja Bale was the second to raise his hand. As a player who was not a draft pick and was struggling at the bottom of the league, holidays did not exist for him at all.
"Me too!"
Matt Baines raised his hands high, followed by Prince and Butler, the two rookies, who chose to stay and practice without hesitation.
"I'll stay too!"
As several players who participated in this year's summer league took the initiative to stay for training, some old players could not help but choose to stay.
In the end, only Iverson, Billups, Marcus Camby, and Kevin Cato remained.
Looking at the group of players who stayed behind to train, Li Muchen suddenly felt like a mountain was pressing on his shoulders. If these players drank special nutrient fluids every day, the cost of nutrient fluids for a day would be two times more than usual.
Two Dabuliu a day, plus the food expenses and the expenses of other employees, it would be 100 Dabuliu a month.
"I can't afford it, I can't afford it!"
Although the system had given Li Muchen 100 million yuan in start-up funds, he could not afford to lose money like this.
"It seems that I can only reduce the composition of the nutrient solution and reduce the cost of the nutrient solution.”
Li Muchen sighed. He decided to reduce the cost of supplying nutrient fluids to Xiaosi and the others from 1000 dollars to 500 dollars.
The cost of the nutrient solution was reduced by half, but the effect was not reduced by half. The nutrient solution given to Xiaosi and the others was about 70% as effective as Dayao's nutrient solution.
