"The post-up play cannot last more than five seconds. The league's reason is that the post-up play lasts too long and there are too few attacks facing the basket, which will make the game less exciting."
Lao Wang thought about it and realized that this rule didn't seem to have much restriction on him. His back-to-back hit would definitely not last for five seconds. If it lasted that long, five of his opponents would rush to his side to double-team him.
"Any more?" he asked again.
"The second rule that will be introduced is illegal use of hands. Specifically, this rule will suppress the outside defense more, release the offensive energy from the outside, and strengthen the breakthrough from the outside. In addition, for inside defense, you can no longer use it blatantly.
Use your hands to push someone from behind. When your opponent leans over to attack, you cannot use your hands to press the opponent's back, etc."
Colangelo Jr. explained and said with some seriousness: "This rule will be of great help to Jordan. His breakthroughs will be sharper, his breakthrough rhythm and speed will be faster, and his damage to the inside will be greater.
The offensive efficiency will be higher."
Lao Wang thought for a moment and realized that when the defender could not touch the attacker with his hands, it would indeed make it easier for the attacker to break through. He nodded and said, "Is there a reasonable collision zone?"
"There should be, there will be several rules introduced this time. Old K, this is because of you. It is not the main reason why we swept the Bulls in four rounds. The main reason is that you averaged 50 points per game in the finals.
There is no team that is not afraid, and the league is also worried that the game will be out of balance." Colangelo Jr. laughed.
Lao Wang was a little confused about three seconds of defense, illegal use of hands, reasonable collision zone, and five seconds of back-up play. These rules did not seem to specifically restrict him.
After hearing his question, Colangelo Jr. laughed, and then explained: "Even my father doesn't know what specific rules will be introduced. In his communication with Mr. Stern, he got the impression of Mr. Stern."
What it means is that Mr. President has changed his original mind and does not want to immediately issue rules that specifically restrict you."
"Why?"
Lao Wang is a little confused. Does he think he is inferior to Jordan?
Okay, he was a little bit abusive, but the league's introduction of the Jordan Rules specifically for Jordan is indeed a great honor. It has given Jordan a unique status in disguise, and he also hopes to get that status.
Damn it, it was originally agreed upon, but now it has changed, and there is no credibility at all. His impression of the old man Stern is a bit bad.
Colangelo looked at Lao Wang with a smile, but he could understand his thoughts a little bit, and said: "Stern's idea should be that he saw that our current lineup of the Suns is not very good, the Lightning is old, and Wilkinson
Si Geng is older and no longer has the strength to win the championship. Lei Gong is no longer there and his outside defense is no longer good, so he doesn't want to introduce that kind of rules immediately.
After all, your influence is not small now. If your hands and feet are tied easily, the alliance will lose part of its excitement.
Also, the introduction of the illegal hand rule will increase Jordan’s destructive power, which is also a disguised form of suppressing you, isn’t it?”
"That's true."
Lao Wang chuckled and said, "Let him go. Sooner or later I will force him to introduce rules."
After chatting for another half hour, Wang Tiejun left the headquarters and went to the K martial arts gym.
In the afternoon, Wang Tielong and Liu Changjiang returned to Phoenix, and he called Wang Tieshu, Wang Tieshan, and Liu Changfeng to discuss the matter together.
Among the first five people who came over, only Liu Changfeng's second brother Liu Changlong had no management ability and now only does ordinary massage work. The other four people have all shown certain abilities in managing the martial arts gym.
Including Wang Tieshan, although he did not officially take charge of the martial arts gym, he also cooperated with Wang Tieshu to do a lot of management work during this period.
As for Liu Changfeng, who followed him at the beginning, this time he planned to ask his cousin to resign from the Suns and bring a group of martial arts brothers to Los Angeles to develop. Yu Feihong was preparing to form a martial arts company with Cheng Long. Liu Changfeng had worked in martial arts.
My English is now passable, which is just right.
"Brother Changfeng, you choose a group of people yourself, let's go to ten first."
He first told about Liu Changfeng, and Liu Changfeng did not hesitate and immediately agreed to go to Los Angeles.
"Brother Tielong, I'm going to reorganize the martial arts hall and divide it into four classes." He said to Wang Tielong and the others again.
"Sitang? Just tell me, you can do whatever you want." Wang Tielong nodded cooperatively and said.
"The Chinese Medicine Hall, the Martial Arts Hall, the Health Care Hall, and the Fighting Hall are all in charge of four halls, each with their own responsibilities."
Wang Tiejun thought for a while and then said: "The main library is here in Phoenix, and there will be a branch library down below to manage the business here. The main library will be hosted by Brother Tielong."
"Okay." Wang Tielong said.
"Brother Tieshan will be in charge of the Phoenix branch, and Brother Tieshu will be in charge of the New York branch," he continued.
Wang Tieshu and Wang Tieshan both nodded without saying a word.
They were very happy to see them, and Wang Tiejun was also very happy.
These three cousins were all people he respected very much. They were soldiers and they would carry out orders without compromise, so he was reassured.
"Over in Los Angeles, Yangtze River, don't forget the lesson I taught you last time. If you do it again, you will go back to your hometown. I don't want you to go to jail in the United States." He said to Liu Changjiang with a serious expression.
"I know, brother, I promise I won't do it again." Liu Changjiang said with shame.
"What's going on?"
Liu Changfeng asked sternly, and Wang Tielong and others also stared at him.
"I……"
Liu Changjiang was a little panicked. The person he was most afraid of here was not Wang Tiejun, but Wang Tielong and the three of them.
Wang Tiejun did not hide it for Liu Changjiang. After all, these things may happen in the future. He hoped that everyone would take a warning.
"You bastard!" After hearing this, Liu Changfeng cursed angrily.
Wang Tielong and the other three were also very angry. Wang Tielong said in a deep voice: "Changfeng, the martial arts school is now the foundation for more than 1,600 brothers in the United States. Let alone one million US dollars, even 100 million US dollars cannot affect it.
The reputation of K martial arts school cannot affect the reputation of Tiejun. If you do it again, the martial arts gym has its own rules, so remember them."
"I know." Liu Changjiang, who was already sweating profusely, said quickly.
"Tie Jun, don't let this kid do it. Let's replace him in Los Angeles." Liu Changfeng said at this time.
Liu Changjiang only looked at his eldest brother and did not dare to speak.
Shaking his head, Wang Tiejun said: "Among us brothers, if there is no one to take over the suspension, I won't be worried if it is left to outsiders."
Liu Changfeng snorted coldly at his third brother Changjiang and said: "Changjiang, there are so many brothers. You are definitely not the only one who has the ability to manage the martial arts gym. As long as you are given a chance, there will definitely be a lot of capable brothers coming out. You can
I'm careful."
"I know, brother." Liu Changjiang whispered.
"Now let me talk about the director, the branch library, and the fourth hall."
Everyone criticized Liu Changjiang, and then Lao Wang brought the topic back.
On October 11th, Wang Tiejun sent away Wang Tieshu, Liu Changfeng, Liu Changjiang, and several brothers selected from the Phoenix branch who were interested in martial arts and flew to Los Angeles.
These few people, plus two selected from New York and a few from Los Angeles, total ten people. From now on, if there is martial arts work, they will do martial arts work. If there is no martial arts work, they will do it.
Do massage, don’t delay, you will make a lot of money anyway.
Cheng Long has already arrived, bringing several people from the family class with him.
He also brought news that the next movie is being prepared, called Project Flying Eagle, and Feige Film and Television can participate in investment if they are willing.
The investment in this film is as high as 120 million Hong Kong dollars, which is far more than the US$8 million in the red zone. Jiahe felt that the risk was very high and hoped to bring in other investors, so he gave Feige Film and Television an investment quota of 20 million.
In this era, among the stars in Hong Kong, the production costs of Cheng Long's films were the highest. The production costs of Li Lianjie and Zhou Xingxing were much smaller, only 10 to 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
Moreover, some of Cheng Long's films also suffered losses. In 1989, he and Mei Yanfang made "The Miracle" with an investment of HK$80 million and suffered a huge loss.
However, Feige Film and Television has just begun to develop and needs opportunities. Moreover, Cheng Long’s popular area has just opened up the Hollywood market and its box office appeal has greatly increased. Therefore, after careful consideration, Yu Feihong finally decided to invest 20 million yuan as a trial.
water.
The company's funds are definitely insufficient. Lao Wang took out 10 million yuan from his own pocket and joined the investment as a private investor. The share belongs to Feige.
In the next few days, he stayed in Los Angeles. On the 18th, after the preseason game, Colangelo Jr. informed him that the team would choose Ben Wallace and asked him what his opinion was. If he wanted Ma Jian
The team can also consider staying.
This means that Ma Jian has been eliminated. He has no choice but to force himself to stay through connections. In fact, there is no benefit. The Suns can only give him a basic salary. If he has no strength, he will not have the chance to play. He will still have to leave next season.
, the time has been delayed, there is no point, it is better to go back and play CBA.
"I have no objection, but does the person Oakley recommended really have good potential?" he asked curiously.
"Oh, there really aren't many people to choose from. It doesn't look like he's of much use now. His height is too disadvantageous to play as a center. It's just a basic salary, and it's not guaranteed. There's really no training value, so let him go."
Colangelo sighed.
Lao Wang then called Ma Jian. Ma Jian was quite frustrated and he didn't bother to comfort him. He told Lao Ma that if he wanted to return to China to play in the CBA, he should go back as soon as possible. If it was later, he would not have the chance. He had already helped coordinate the situation in China.
In the end, Ma Jian had no choice but to go back and play in the CBA.
At this time, the martial arts company was successfully established. Liu Changfeng was in charge of the K martial arts school, and a martial arts master named Lu Huiguang was in charge of Cheng Long.
Lu Huiguang has been with Cheng Long for many years. He had the experience of being a Muay Thai champion before. I don’t know what level the event was, but he really took over last year and became Cheng Long’s right-hand man. This time he was brought over to take charge of affairs.
After the company was established, the only thing left to do was to use the contacts in the K-Martial Arts Hall for development. Wang Tiejun ignored these. On the 19th, he returned to Phoenix.
Kevin Johnson has been back for a few days, and the two of them had dinner at a restaurant in the evening.
"Kevin, you are in good shape!" Lao Wang shouted happily when they met.
Kevin Johnson smiled proudly and said: "I train for two hours every day to maintain my condition. My weight now is three kilograms lighter than this time last year. I think I should be in good shape in the new season."
Having said this, he said excitedly: "By the way, Lao K, the effect of my medicinal bath has become more obvious recently. I took a physical fitness test the day before yesterday, and my three-thousand-meter running result was a little better than this time last year."
"Can my things be any worse? You are one year older and your test scores are better, which means your physical fitness is even better than last year." Lao Wang said with a smile.
He then asked Lightning how his injuries were going, and the latter also said in a good mood: "Not bad, I think his physical condition in the new season is better than last year."
"Do more acupuncture."
After admonishing him, Lao Wang added: "The glider is gone, and here comes Wilkins. You know his style better than I do, so tell me about it."
Kevin Johnson nodded and said: "Whether it's offense or defense, our efficiency on the outside will be lower. With you supporting the offense, the defensive problem should be bigger. In addition, he doesn't have the ability to stretch, and your efficiency in the low post will be bigger."
will also be affected.
Also, Wilkins is a typical black hole for ball rights. When you distribute the ball, you must be careful. His chances are not good, so don’t give them to him.”
"I will pay attention." Lao Wang nodded.
"Our strength in the new season..."
Kevin Johnson also went to the headquarters and talked with Colangelo Jr., and he knew the current lineup very well. He said: "Robert Horry is not as good as Green. The inside and outside are also weaker. The overall strength is definitely not as good as last season."
of.
In addition, we have to train the rookie Michael Finley and waste some ball rights. I am afraid that the regular season record will not be as good as last season."
"Kevin, I want to compete in the regular season, you have to help me." Wang Tiejun suddenly said.
Lightning was startled and immediately understood what Lao K meant.
Last season, Old K had the best regular season data, but the team's record only ranked third in the league and second in the Western Conference. In the end, he missed the MVP and only won the scoring title. He was definitely not willing to accept it. Moreover, Old K won the FMVP, and he has not yet
Got the mvp.
Wang Tiejun continued: "In the West, our strongest opponents are the Mosaic, Spurs, SuperSonics, and Jazz teams. Their strongest strengths are inside, not outside. We are not afraid of strong opponents inside. In the regular season, we have no
Disadvantage, there is a chance to compete."
"Okay, I'll help you."
Kevin Johnson nodded and said solemnly.
The new season's lineup will definitely not have the advantage it had last year in the playoffs. Even if it can make it out of the Western Conference and face the Bulls in the Finals, the disadvantage on the outside will be too great.
The defense at the third position is terrible, and the second position is a rookie. In addition, in the new season, there will be rules that are conducive to perimeter offense. When encountering Jordan and Pippen, the perimeter is likely to be beaten.
So neither of them talked about the playoffs, because they both understood that the playoffs are playoffs, and the regular season is regular season.
The league's first record doesn't mean it can make a difference in the playoffs.
But it is precisely because of this that the Suns have a chance to compete in the regular season. What if they succeed? Real superstars are not confident enough without the honor of MVP.
The two chatted about the team for a while, and then talked about the martial arts gym.
When Lao Wang talked about the reorganization of the martial arts hall into four halls, Ling Ling curiously asked what medicinal food was. He introduced it and suggested that Ling Ling try it in the future and it would be beneficial.
"Will it be expensive?" Kevin Johnson asked worriedly.
Lao K's stuff is indeed good, whether it's medicated baths or medicated oils, he has tasted the benefits, but that's one thing, it's too expensive, and with his income, he can't afford it.
His annual salary in the new season has increased from 2.75 million last season to 2.9 million US dollars, which is the highest annual salary in his career. He has played for 9 seasons. Counting the new season, his total career salary is only 16.71 million US dollars, which is not as good as his old salary.
The salary for the new season is less than 10 million after paying taxes. He also spent a lot of money on charity schools in his hometown. In fact, there is not much salary left. If it were not for some business income, he would not be able to compete in K-Martial Arts.
Museum consumption.
It's just that now that he is old, his business income is almost gone, and he relies on a little salary to support himself. In the past six months, he has spent more than half a year at the K martial arts studio, including medicated baths and medicated oil massages, plus the cost of a dedicated masseur.
, it reached five to six million US dollars. The expenditure was too great. If this medicinal diet was expensive, he really couldn't afford it.
Fortunately, his contract year has arrived. After the new season, he can sign a new contract. Now he only hopes to stay with the Suns and get a big pension contract. This is also his extra training in the offseason.
reason.
Lao Wang scratched his head. He had actually been thinking about this issue. The last time Liu Yumin spent 50,000 yuan to buy medicated oil, he thought of lightning.
He also understands the Lightning's financial situation. He doesn't have much money, but he has a very good relationship with the Lightning. He also hopes that he can continue to use medicated baths and medicated oil to maintain his condition, and the next contract can be bigger.
He thought for a moment and said: "Well, Kevin, I'm going to introduce a black card in K martial arts gym. This is a real discount card..."
"Pfft, haha..."
Hearing the discount, Kevin Johnson laughed, damn old K, who dares to ask for your discount?
Lao Wang smiled awkwardly and said: "It's a real discount. The medicine and the exclusive massage therapist's fees are both 50% off."
"Damn it, old K, tell me, how much money have you made from us?"
When Kevin Johnson heard about the 50% discount, he immediately rushed forward excitedly and held down Wang Tiejun, pressing down bitterly.
"I haven't made much, so I won't make any at 50% off." Lao Wang said quickly.
Kevin Johnson let Lao Wang go, sat back and said: "You kid, you must still make a lot of money. Okay, 50% off, 50% off, you can save a lot of money."
Lao Wang couldn't stop laughing.
The current medicinal materials in the United States are several times more expensive than those in China, but a medicine is only about thirty US dollars. At a 50% discount, the medicinal bath prescription will cost five hundred US dollars, which is also a profit of more than ten times.
"Kevin, I'm under great financial pressure. Now I have more than 1,600 brothers eating with me. Do you know how much a year's salary is? I did the math yesterday and was shocked. It's more than 100 million."
he said.
"So many?"
Lightning was also startled, and said quickly: "Then you can't give out your black card randomly. Just give it to me. I have face even if you tell me, I am the only black card holder in K martial arts hall."
"Haha..." The two laughed.
Laughing, he called Lei Gong on his mobile phone in front of Lightning and told him about the discounted black card.
"Really? That's awesome!"
Dan Marley is also very happy. His salary is about the same as Lightning, but he has no business income. The consumption at the K martial arts gym is much less than Lightning, and he doesn't dare to use it. Now with a 50% discount, he will be much more comfortable.
He was only issued these two black cards in total, and Buckley was not willing to give them to him. The fat guy was not short of money, and his salary was not much, but he had a lot of business income, so he would not be cheap.
"Old K, what is the medicinal diet you just mentioned?" Lightning asked curiously.
"It's something that has been passed down in China for thousands of years..."
When he was explaining, he suddenly thought of a problem. The medicated diet must be promoted through restaurants or restaurants, but it was very troublesome to start the catering industry, and he was not interested. Moreover, it was too little to open a restaurant with just a medicated diet.
"It seems like this thing can't be promoted. Fortunately, I even set up a health clinic. It seems that in the future it can only be produced within the martial arts gym and consumed by customers."
It's not that it can't be sold, it's just that it can't be promoted to the general public. If it is sold to customers, at this price, hehe, it is the best medicinal diet enjoyed by rich people, so it needs to be improved a bit. Let's set a price of... ten thousand dollars a portion.
The services are all luxury goods, and only the expensive ones are sold, not the cheap ones. The more expensive the service is, the more rich people like it. If it is cheap, people will find it cheap.
The project is built into a real luxury product, which must be expensive enough to be high-end. Think about French truffles and Austrian caviar, which are sold in grams. They cost tens of dollars per gram. They are useless if you eat them. What about diamonds?
Is it edible or can it be worn? What is the use of lv? K martial arts halls are made of real materials and have great effects. They must not be sold cheaply.
"Ten thousand?"
Upon hearing this number, Lightning immediately picked up the wine bottle on the table and prepared to smash Old K's head.
"Eight thousand."
Lao Wang immediately changed his mind.
"That's too expensive. I can't afford the 50% off black card. I'll go bankrupt after just a few of your medicinal meals." Lightning said angrily.
He advised: "Let me tell you, Kevin, this is a good food. If you eat it for decades, it will ensure your longevity and longevity..."
"How many decades have you been eating? I'm afraid I'll be dead poor before I live to be a hundred, you damn capitalist." Lightning said angrily.
"Don't worry, I'm treating you. As long as you try your best to help me this season, I won't cost you a penny to treat you." Lao Wang said quickly.
