Chapter 510 Very good at team building

During the All-Star weekend, it is the most turbulent time period in the entire NBA.

During this period of time, many teams are eager to make final reinforcements, and then hit the playoffs.

In terms of reinforcement, each team has different targets.

Some teams need a frame-protecting center to strengthen the interior, or a space-type four, or a rebounding monster with excellent athletic ability.

In short, in the current market, many teams will carefully screen their teams to see what the team needs.

Among these teams, some teams are relatively special.

That's an injury-type team.

There are some teams, in fact, there is no shortage of players in this position in the team, but due to the impact of injuries in the early stage, there is a sudden shortage of players in this position, so they recruit firefighters everywhere to temporarily reinforce the team.

The Warriors have nothing to strengthen, but they have received some trade requests.

Before Qin Fei left for Philadelphia, General Manager Rowell specially invited Qin Fei to the office and explained some situations to him.

"Ron Artest and James Posey."

Rowell handed the two player reports to Qin Fei with a wry smile on his face.

He sighed: "The current agents are too good. Neither of these two agents revealed anything. We don't know whether the two players will renew their contracts with the team in the summer."

"It's not a big problem, is it? After all, both of them are restricted free agents."

Qin Fei felt that this should not be a problem that troubled Rowell, after all, the team still had some control.

Rowell shook his head: "Restrictions are true, but if people are forced to stay, it may lead to some unhappy things. Since it is a contract extension, everyone must be happy, otherwise it will not be conducive to the development of the team."

The NBA's team culture is placed here, and it is rare to force people to stay. Generally, they will open the skylight and speak brightly with a spirit of contract.

The twisted melon is not sweet
Qin Fei probably understood what Rowell meant.

Rowell said: "Actually, you should know that James Posey has an extremely fanatical pursuit of starting players. Artest had two truces before. You have seen James Posey's performance in those two games, but after Artest returned to the lineup, he was still pushed to the bench without any suspense."

"He's a team-focused player, yet his agent has implicitly expressed his desire to achieve higher status."

"Currently, James Posey's worth in the market should be between 480 million and 550 million. It's not like the team can't afford such a middle class, but if he takes this price, how much should Ron take?"

Rowell spoke out about the team's difficulties. In fact, this is a matter of the capital side and has nothing to do with Qin Fei, but Qin Fei still listened to his "complaints" carefully.

Rowell actually has another meaning, which is the contract renewal between Qin Fei and O'Neal in 03.

These two players are all-star players on the current team.

Needless to say, Qin Fei must have a maximum salary to renew his contract. Judging from the current market value-added of O'Neal, he also needs a maximum salary of at least tens of millions.

"This season, the hard salary cap stipulated by the league is 4250 million US dollars, so the luxury tax line is almost 5083 million US dollars."

Rowell briefly talked about the salary cap that has risen significantly this season, but compared with the speed of player salary increases, it is still far behind.

Although the Warriors don't have many giants, there are a lot of places to spend money next.

If everyone is middle-class, the team will be even more unbearable.

And Qin Fei and O'Neal will occupy nearly 03% of the team's salary space in 50.

Qin Fei sighed silently after listening.

The establishment of this iron-blooded alliance has a major relationship with him. These players are naturally very happy when they are rookies, but after the rookie period, most of them are contracts above the middle-class level. In the real composition of the team, it is impossible to have so many middle-class people.

"So, two people keep one?"

Qin Fei simply flipped through the two player reports. There was nothing interesting about them. He knew all about their personal data, physical test reports, field performance and potential analysis.

So he pushed the scouting report back to Lowell.

Rowell shook his head and said, "It's not that simple black and white. I mean, if there is a trade, it won't affect the overall situation of the team. Can we arrange it in advance?"

Rowell is preparing for a rainy day, during the All-Star Weekend, before the trade deadline, another wave of operations.

This made Qin Fei frowned.

Qin Fei remained silent and thought for a long time.

Then he sighed and said quietly: "Actually, you don't have to worry about the lack of harvest in the summer. The playoffs are the stage to test the stars and performance. The team is in a good state now. We have been winning consecutively. What I worry about is not whether a certain player leaves the team. The overall combat effectiveness is affected, what I worry about is whether the arrival of new players will destroy the team's existing chemical reaction."

Qin Fei's implication is that he does not agree to take the risk of trading at this time, even if it is just an ordinary player.

Rowell nodded after listening to Qin Fei's words.

"Okay, what you said makes sense."

Rowell's concern is from the perspective of the general manager. It is reasonable for Qin Fei to express his views as a player. Rowell said that he will consider it carefully.

Reassess the pros and cons of the deal.

During the All-Star Weekend in Philadelphia, most of the Warriors' players took a short vacation to adjust their status.

Qin Fei took O'Neal and Da Ben to participate in the All-Star Game.

Both of them were selected for the All-Star Game for the first time, and Daben was filled with emotion.

"I didn't even enter a player in the draft. I didn't expect to be selected as an All-Star. Thank God, this is really too dreamy."

Da Ben never thought that his childhood dream would come true at this moment.

He felt a little touched, even a little nervous.

In comparison, Qin Fei is already a frequent visitor to the All-Star Game.

Since the second season of his professional career, Qin Fei has been selected as an All-Star every year. The All-Star Game was not held in 99, so Qin Fei participated in a total of 3 All-Star Games. Counting this one, it will be the fourth time to participate in the All-Star Game.

"The All-Stars are actually not a big deal, you will know when you go, it's just for fun."

Qin Fei said very Versailles: "Your main purpose is to relax yourself, enjoy the game, don't make yourself too tense, and especially pay attention to not getting hurt."

Not getting injured during the regular season, and then getting injured in the All-Star Game, it will drive the head coach crazy.

This year, Carlisle, as the coach of the team with the best record in the Western Conference, will serve as the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star Game.

Hearing Qin Fei's words, Carlisle, who was also on the plane, turned his head and expressed his affirmation.

"I don't need you guys to bring me back with a record of winning the Western Conference All-Stars. I just want you to make it through safely, then maintain your form and return to the main task."

"Yes, All-Star MVP or something, don't even think about you two rookies who just entered."

Qin Fei said confidently: "Of course, if you grab rebounds, you still have to give them to me as much as possible. I didn't have teammates before and missed a lot of All-Star Game MVPs. You help me grab rebounds this year. I hope to win MVP again."

Carlisle:
"I don't think it's a problem. If it's just rebounding, I'm good at it."

Big Ben said yes.

"I just want to complete an alley-oop dunk. Later, you pass an alley-oop to me." O'Neal went too far, even thinking about the tactics.

"Okay, I'll pass you an alley-oop, and I'll guarantee you the top five."

Qin Fei laughed.

Xiao Ao's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he played the empty catch, seemingly very clever.

I knew I should have gone to the slam dunk contest.

I can't get 10 points, but 9 points are still stable.

In Philadelphia in February, the average temperature does not exceed 2 degrees.

It is still like winter here, and spring has not yet arrived.

Everyone arrived in Philadelphia. This year, Qin Fei didn't seem so lonely because of the participation of many teammates.

According to the regulations, the players participated in the community activities, followed by the rookie game, Saturday night and the All-Star game.

Qin Fei simply takes this kind of activity as a daily vacation. Although he actively participates in it, he is absolutely unambiguous when taking a break. After a few days, apart from the fixed tasks, he just rests in the hotel.

Or take a swim or play golf in the hotel where you stay, and enjoy the feeling of a love apartment.

On the day of the main match, all the appetizers have been eaten, and the enthusiasm of the audience and fans has reached a peak.

In the spotlight and on the red carpet, the players appeared one by one like Hollywood superstars, receiving the cheers of the audience.

The All-Star is a huge show, and every move of the stars during this period has attracted extra attention.

When Qin Fei walked on the red carpet, even the simplest outfit of jeans and a wallet jacket seemed to have become a current trend.

After going through a series of opening ceremonies, flower offerings, singing, acrobatics and so on.

The All-Star starters took off their practice jackets and took to the court in a motley jersey.

Because it is a game in the East, the Eastern All-Stars play as home players and basically wear white jerseys; the Western All-Stars wear the classic color jerseys of their respective teams.

Qin Fei passed on a black jersey without armguards. The most distinctive feature was the three-color wristbands on his hands.

Kobe is dressed in a Jordan-like outfit, with a wristband on the forearm of his left hand, a wristband on his calf, and a purple Lakers jersey.

"Suddenly it's a small forward."

Qin Fei and McGrady, one of the forwards of the East team, faced off.

While chewing gum, Mai Di chatted with Qin Fei with a smile on his face.

"The small forward is also very good. I feel that I am in the team now and often play the role of small forward. Of course, in the final analysis, we are all swing players. We can play both guard and forward positions."

Maddie is very confident.

He is now the representative of all-round scoring players in the league. In addition to explosive scoring ability, comprehensiveness is also a major feature. Rebounds, assists, and defense, he fills his data column.

And this type of ceiling is the Western All-Star small forward in front of him.

In the past period of time, Qin Fei has perfectly explained what an all-round scorer is.

People marvel at his omnipotence, so they also know that the original way of doing everything can lead the team to victory.

Both of them were in a relatively relaxed state, and they never stopped talking after they stood on the stage, and they kept chatting there.

But the real "cha ke" confronted Jordan with a serious face, as if he was eager to try in front of Jordan and become an All-Star Game MVP.

Jordan liked Kobe very much and talked a lot with Kobe there.

As the two chatted, they brought the topic to Qin Fei.

Regarding how to defeat Qin Fei, both of them have certain experience.

Compared with Qin Fei, Jordan hopes that Kobe, who is more like him, can win more.

"The key is to give full play to your own strengths. Last year, you guys did a very good job."

Jordan said: "Qin Fei has an advantage, which is always easy to overlook when you are researching countermeasures."

"What advantage?"

Kobe pricked up his ears.

Although he wanted to compete with Jordan at the moment, he immediately paid attention to the information about Qin Fei.

Despite the excitement in the West now, the Lakers are only ranked third, but in the playoffs, it is estimated that it will be a battle between the Lakers and the Warriors, and the others will have to stand aside.

Therefore, the Warriors are still the biggest stumbling block on the way for the Lakers to win the championship, and they must overcome it.

"I found that his mental state is always good. He never blames his teammates. If he plays well, he will give the credit to his teammates. If he plays poorly, he will take responsibility."

"So the atmosphere of the Warriors has been very good, because he has fulfilled the duties of a leader, and he has made the Warriors a monolith, which is very difficult to chew."

Kobe waited for a long time, and this is the result?
Does he need Jordan to tell him about the spiritual advantages?
So he glanced at Jordan with big eyes and small eyes, his mentality burst slightly.

"Isn't this an advantage? And it's very important, shouldn't it be taken seriously?"

Jordan shrugged.

Kobe said helplessly: "But this advantage, we can't formulate countermeasures?"

"Why is there no countermeasure?"

Jordan said seriously: "Shouldn't this advantage be that you should study hard? Do you want to be the second leader for the rest of your life? Believe me, Kobe, you are a born king, and you have the temperament to be a leader. When you become a leader, you will understand everything I said."

Kobe:? ? ?
Unexpectedly, after talking for a long time, Jordan actually encouraged him to become the team leader.

He also wants to be a leader, but the problem is that the current head of the team is a historical Shark, who is at his peak, so he has no chance to be a leader.

Kobe's thinking is still very clear now.

After he failed to hit the championship before, he also had a heart-to-heart relationship with the big shark. The goal that the two have set now is to jointly win a championship.

This is the consensus of the two. For the sake of the championship, both of them can make certain tactical sacrifices.

As long as the team's combat power is higher, everything is OK.

Nothing is more important than a championship.

This is the state of the Lakers.

As for the leadership issue that Jordan mentioned, Kobe hasn't thought that far yet, and he hasn't even won the championship. It's just floating clouds.

The main contradiction of grasping things is to win the championship.

But then again.

Kobe thought about it silently, Jordan's words also made sense, the leader Qin Fei did a good job indeed.

Qin Fei has many good qualities worth learning from. These qualities have made him a better player, and they have also made the Warriors work together and make great strides.

When it comes to team building, Qin Fei has his own way.
