Chapter 422

Lin Feng looks at Dawson and Rudy tomjanovic in front of him. He bends his mouth slightly, smiles confidently and tells his future plan.

"Rudy, in my heart, you are one of the best coaches in NBA. I will always remember your saying" don't ever underestimate a heart of champion ". In the future, you will still be the head coach of Houston Rockets. I believe that under your leadership, the Rockets will be able to open up a new rocket Dynasty again." Lin Feng said sincerely.

Tom janovic was a little stunned. He didn't expect that Lin Feng, a new boss in China, would trust him so much. Whether it's high sounding or not, it's at least comfortable.

"Boss, I will try my best to lead the Houston Rockets to a new glory." Tom janovich vowed.

Lin Feng nodded, but suddenly remembered that Tom janovic suffered from bladder cancer at the end of Yao Ming's first season, and had to resign as head coach of the Rockets, before van Gundy took office. Not to mention the advantages and disadvantages of the two coaches' teaching level, Lin Feng prefers Tom janovic only from the care and cultivation of young players.

At that time, in Yao Ming's first seven NBA games, the average score was only 4.3 points, and the average rebounds per game was less than 3. When the American media questioned him, it was Tom janovic who stood up to the media and said frankly that Yao Ming needed to take his time, and there was nothing urgent. He's like a man trying to catch up with the train that's started, and he's going to be a good NBA player. Now, Yao Ming, all he needs is time.

Facts also proved Tom janovic's words. In the eighth game, Yao Ming returned Tom janovic's trust with 19 points. At this point, Yao Ming embarked on the NBA first-class center road. Such a coach, Lin Feng must not let him be destroyed by injury.

"Rudy, go and have a physical examination tomorrow." Lin Feng suggested, but seeing Tom janovic's indifferent face, Lin Feng added, "Carol (Carol Dawson), you're going to have a physical examination tomorrow. You are the core of the rocket. Your body is not only yours, but the whole rocket. Dawson, in the future, all employees of Houston Rockets will have a general physical examination every year, and the cost will be paid by me personally. "

Listen to Lin Feng's words, Dawson and Tom janovic slightly shocked, such a boss in the NBA is rare. It's said that NBA is a business, and it's about interests. It's rare for a boss like Lin Feng to be considerate of his subordinates.

Seeing their moving eyes, Lin Feng knows the value of his money, which is just convenient for his next plan.

"Carol, I'm going to hire another deputy general manager to help you screen players." Seeing that Dawson's face changed slightly, Lin Feng quickly explained, "you are still the head coach of Houston Rockets. The person I want to hire is a data analyst. He can analyze a player's potential in the future and evaluate whether he is suitable for the team through various data in player training and competition. I want him to share your job of selecting players and so on, while you are fully engaged in the daily affairs of the Rockets

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Dawson fell into meditation. He is the general manager of the Rockets. He has played for the Houston Rockets for 22 years. Before that, he served as assistant coach of Houston for 16 years and general manager for 6 years. However, looking back on the past six years, whether it was the change of four players for Buckley in 1996, Pippen in 1999, or the farewell of rockets veteran olajuwan in 2001, his every deal has been criticized. This also makes Dawson have a little self doubt about his position as general manager.

Looking at Dawson in deep thought, Lin Feng doesn't urge him. Instead, he slowly drinks latte and waits for Dawson's decision.

When it comes to Dawson, there is a nickname "the luckiest one.". In a golf match in 1989, Dawson was hit by lightning. This rare event was met by Dawson. It's not bad luck, but it's lucky that Dawson survived. However, after the examination, it was found that the retina of both eyes was seriously damaged in this lightning strike, and the vision of both eyes was seriously affected, and even blindness was possible“ The title "the luckiest" is very appropriate.

Of course, the most admirable thing about Carol Dawson is his attitude in the face of illness. He will always be alone in the fear of blindness, leaving only a happy smile to his friends—— Tom janovic talks about Dawson with admiration.

After a long time, Dawson sighed softly.

"Boss, I see. Who is that man?" Dawson has been interlinked, if the other side really has Lin Feng said that magic, he is willing to hand over the power to choose players. Of course, one of the factors that made Dawson make such a decision is that just now Lin Feng was willing to undertake the annual physical examination for all rocket employees. This cost is not a small amount. Of course, it's nothing to Lin Feng, who is rich and rich in the world, but it represents Lin Feng's attitude.

Lin Fengchang was relieved. If Dawson refuses to delegate power, Lin Feng is really not good at forcibly exercising his boss's rights. When he first came to the Rockets, he fired his veteran who had worked for the Rockets for 22 years. I'm afraid the only consequence is that the Rockets will fall apart.

"Daryl Morey." Lin Feng confidently said that the general manager of the rocket, who was later honored as "Mo Shen" by hundreds of millions of Rocket fans, was a person who had never participated in a professional basketball game, but successfully selected the dust ball from thousands of players through his own data software.

Daryl Morey, a legend. He studied in the Department of computer science of Northwestern University in the United States. Later, he took an MBA and studied in Sloan School of management of Massachusetts Institute of technology. These two schools are top universities in the United States. If he can get a degree in these two schools, his IQ is extremely accessible. What's more surprising is that Morey graduated from Northwestern University only after five years. During these five years, Morey never took classes. Before the exam, Morey would borrow notes from his friends, recite them all night, and then take the exam the next day. Morey is a model for Chinese university students.

I hate the school. What they teach is not interesting at all.

Morey also proved by himself that knowledge can not become talents only by attending classes on time every day and learning the materials in textbooks step by step. Self study can also become a talent, and not worse than anyone!

In the past five years at Northwestern University, Morey spent all his time working for the American legend Bill James. If he didn't have the entrepreneurial and business brain of Bill Gates, he would have become another bill gates like legend. However, Morey is still a legend. Before entering the NBA, Morey worked in consulting companies, the CIA, Wall Street, the national security agency and other places, and all his work is inseparable from the word data.

Morey is a born data maniac. Now, Morey has set up a sports information consulting company in Chicago to provide operational data analysis for various professional teams.

Tom janovic, Dawson and Morey, who have played for the Rockets, are all geniuses and legends. The Rockets, in a way, are definitely a talented team.

Hearing Lin Feng's brief introduction, Dawson frowned slightly. Is such a person who has never had any basketball experience suitable for the Rockets? Is Lin Feng so mysterious? However, Dawson, who is good at managing interpersonal relationships, did not object and nodded heavily. It's a mule, it's a horse. Come out for a walk and you'll know everything.

If Morey is as amazing as Lin Feng said, he can delegate power. If not, he will not delegate power unless he is dismissed.

"Carol, Rudy, the Rockets' time of the season is over. Our job will be next season and next season, not now, but in the future Lin Feng slowly told the long-standing plan in his heart.

"This summer, I have only two demands. 1、 No matter what the cost, to the Raptors rocket meritorious veteran olajuwan back, remember, no matter what the cost. I hope from now on, my rockets will be a little bit more human than other NBA teams. I will never let those who have contributed their whole life to the Rockets go out of the game Lin Feng said angrily. That is to attack Alexander's theory of the supremacy of interests, but also to tell Dawson clearly that he invited Morey not to drive him away.

Dawson and Tom janovic looked at each other and were more grateful. Dawson, in particular, was forced by Alexander's pressure to replace Olajuwon at the beginning, but it was he who bore the blame. Now Lin Feng can exchange for olajuwan again, which can undoubtedly clear his grievance. Moreover, olajuwan's return can save Houston's miserable attendance to a certain extent.

"Second, in any case, we'll get three next year." Speaking of this, Lin Feng breathed slightly, then his chest began to get excited, "first, no matter what we sign this year, we must win the Chinese player Yao Ming!" Speaking of this, Lin Feng's voice couldn't help rising.

Yao Ming, you finally belong to me!

"Also, taishaan Prince and Carlos Boozer must win." In Lin Feng's memory, in addition to Yao Ming, only the "Little Prince" of the Detroit Pistons and Carlos Boozer, who made hundreds of millions of Chinese fans resent later, are star players in the 2002 season. Moreover, their ranking is extremely low, so it should not be a big problem to win.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Feng's voice just came, Dawson and Tom janovic looked at each other, and they both laughed. Seeing that Lin Feng was a little puzzled by their laughter, Dawson quickly explained.

"Boss, Yao Ming, we've been following him for two years. This summer is our goal. It's just that I don't know if any other team will get in the way. With Yao Ming's strength now, he is not the number one, but also the top one. I don't know what signing we will get then. " Dawson sighed. He has paid close attention to Yao Ming for a long time. At the beginning, Dawson personally trained the "dream step" olajuwang. It can be said that Dawson has his unique vision for the center.

In today's era of center scarcity, Yao Ming is Dawson's next super center.

"By the way, if possible, try your best to get Chauncey Billups of the Timberwolves." Lin Feng suddenly remembered that "later generations" had been criticized by all the Rockets fans for a brain damaged unfinished deal. The pistons used Billups garprince to replace the decadent and decadent McGrady. Alexander refused. Then Billups helped Nuggets rise to the West finals and played six games with Hu Renmin. What's more, Chauncey Billups is very simple, not as brilliant as other all stars, but it's necessary for a mature team, especially for a PG (point guard).

Dawson and Tom janovich look at each other and are slightly surprised. They don't know why Lin Feng values Billups so much. But since Lin Feng has said it, they will naturally pay attention to it.

"In addition, the goal of the Rockets next season is to train new players, run in the team, do not care about the results, the best to get the number one signing Lin Feng said of his ambition, "it's better to change to the first few signings in 2003."

Dawson frowned.

"Boss, 2003 is a well-known election year. LeBron James, who is already a powerful high school player, is likely to enter the NBA directly next year. He is the most popular number one candidate, and Wade and Anthony, who have already made their appearance, are afraid that it is difficult to change their positions." Said Dawson, shaking his head.

"Well, do your best. At any cost. " Lin Feng also knows that 2003 is an election year, so he can only do his best. Besides, although Lin Feng hopes to build an all-star lineup, it's just a good wish after all. A mature team, in addition to superstars, those blue collar more indispensable.

Dawson and Tom janovich look at each other, and they both hear the implication from Lin tuyere's "at any cost", and they are shocked. Obviously, the new Chinese boss is ambitious and far sighted. It's the future, not the present. However, in this case, Dawson and Tom janovic are more gratified. At least next year, their pressure will not be so great. They will not be able to pursue achievements. Maybe they can really fight for the number one spot.

Then, after the three continued to discuss some details, near noon, Lin Feng invited Dawson and Tom janovic to have lunch. The future of our own rockets depends on these two to help us manage them. Naturally, we need to draw them together.

During lunch, Dawson got a call.

"Boss, it's stern. It's for you." Dawson handed the phone to Lin Feng, slightly surprised, did not expect NBA president will personally call to congratulate Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Stern would call to congratulate himself.

"Hello, Mr. stern." Lin Feng said hello warmly.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Feng. I heard that you just bought Houston Rockets. Congratulations Stern said with a touch of joy.

"Thank you."

"Mr. Lin, I'm on a flight to Houston. I'll be in Houston at about 3pm. I hope you will be ready for the press conference and we will attend together to announce your successful acquisition of Houston Rockets and become the first Chinese boss in NBA history. " Stern said, a little excited.

Stern has been committed to NBA globalization, and China is the most critical part of this global strategy. Now the good news is that Lin Feng, a Chinese, has bought the Houston Rockets of NBA, and Lin Feng himself is a man of the moment, which can undoubtedly promote the globalization process of NBA. So stern couldn't wait to fly to Houston to attend the news conference.

After the call, Lin Feng sighed. It seems that it's hard to keep a low profile this time（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
