Reborn in 96, I started by taking charge of the Dallas Mavericks.

120:77

Some people may have guessed the outcome of this game, but no one would have expected that it would end in a crushing defeat for the Chinese men's basketball team.

The outcome of the game was already decided in the first half of the second quarter.

At the start of the game, Chen Fang gave the young men of the Chinese men's basketball team a big gift.

In the very first possession, the Mavericks launched a full-court press defense.

The Chinese men's basketball team's teammates did not expect the Mavericks to go all out from the start, and they made several unexpected mistakes.

The Mavericks seized the opportunity to widen the score gap instantly, catching the Chinese men's basketball team off guard right from the start.

When the Chinese men's basketball team finally broke through the Mavericks' full-court press, the Mavericks, under Chen Fang's guidance, immediately changed their defensive formation to a 2-3 zone defense.

Relying on the outstanding individual skills and help defense of Ben Wallace and Kobe, the Chinese team was forced into a series of mistakes.

The Mavericks capitalized on China's mistakes to dominate their offense.

They had built a double-digit lead by the end of the first quarter.

When the second quarter began, the Chinese team, whose stamina was further depleted, was led by the nose by the Mavericks.

The Mavericks completely controlled the pace of the game, and the score gap widened further and further.

To be honest, Chen Fang thought he would win this match easily, but he didn't expect it to be this easy.

At this moment, Coach Zhang in the commentary booth was speechless, his face dark with anger.

He was as happy as he was before the match, and now he is just as sad.

Before the game, he confidently stated that the Chinese men's basketball team had a great chance of winning.

The result was a resounding slap in the face!

The Chinese men's basketball team not only lost, but suffered a crushing defeat.

At that moment, he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

On the other side, with the same dark expression as Coach Zhang was Gong Luming, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.

After watching yesterday's game between the Mavericks and the Lakers, he devised a strategy for today's game overnight, but the result was not as expected.

Besides the difference in strength between the two athletes, the most crucial factor contributing to this result was Chen Fang.

As a Chinese, Chen Fang knows this Chinese men's basketball team very well.

If the key players are contained, the strength of this Chinese men's basketball team will be greatly reduced.

After the match, Chen Fang took the initiative to shake hands with Coach Gong and Coach Zhang, among others, and then covered his face.

At the same time, through this game, Chen Fang successfully entered the field of vision of the Chinese Basketball Association and Chinese fans.

Because of Chen Fang's involvement, CCTV Sports Channel made a last-minute decision to broadcast the Dallas Mavericks' Summer League in its entirety.

As the game progressed, Chinese fans truly realized the strength of this Mavericks team.

On the contrary, they decided that the Chinese men's basketball team had no reason to complain about losing to them.

Throughout the Summer League, the Mavericks played a total of 6 games, each of which they dominated by large margins.

After 6 games, Kobe Bryant rightfully became the team's leading scorer, averaging 28.6 points, 6.7 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks per game.

Besides Kobe, the player who surprised Chen Fang the most was Ben Wallace.

During the Summer League, Ben Wallace not only contributed the second-highest points on the team, but also grabbed the most rebounds and blocked the most shots.

Over the course of 6 games, Ben Wallace averaged 18.3 points, 21.1 rebounds, and 4.9 blocks per game.

This data is quite astonishing.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Summer League is not very intense.

It's worth mentioning that with the Mavericks winning all six of their games, they became the champions of this year's California Summer League, and Kobe Bryant was awarded the MVP of the Summer League.

At the same time, Chen Fang also reaped a wave of system points.

Six wins earn 60 points, and the Summer League champion earns 100 points, for a total of 160 points.

Including what he had left before, Chen Fang now has a total of 1282 points.

Unfortunately, these points are not enough to do anything, and after the Summer League ends, there will be a long off-season.

Chen Fang will have to find another way to earn points.

The end of the Summer League means that players can finally relax and enjoy a well-deserved vacation.

The players can take a break, but Chen Fang can't.

Although the Mavericks won the Summer League championship, they also exposed some problems.

The most obvious example is Kobe's lack of offensive arsenal.

When he first entered the league, the Black Mamba's offense relied entirely on physical talent, with no skill whatsoever.

Even his shooting motion was very rough, not to mention his accuracy.

During the game, Kobe missed three shots completely, even when they were airballs.

Therefore, Chen Fang must help Kobe improve his skills and shooting accuracy as soon as possible.

The day after the Summer League ended, the Mavericks returned to Dallas.

After returning to Dallas, Chen Fang gave everyone a three-day holiday, while he himself wandered around Dallas.

He wasn't really just wandering around; he was looking for suitable land to build the Mavericks' home arena.

After his rebirth, Chen Fang not only became the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, but also inherited hundreds of millions of assets.

It's safe to say that he's currently the richest owner in the entire league, bar none.

In his previous life, the Mavericks' new arena, American Airlines Center, was built after Cuban became the owner.

Now that Chen Fang has become the owner of the Mavericks, he naturally can't be stingy.

With the off-season in full swing, it's time to put the construction of a new stadium on the agenda.

……

That day, Chen Fang drove around downtown Dallas with Shen Jieyi, looking for a suitable venue.

However, the land area in the city center is very limited, and all of it has already been planned. After a day of running around, Chen Fang still couldn't find a place he liked.

"Boss, how about we go check out the suburbs?"

At this moment, Shen Jieyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, made a suggestion.

"Looks like we'll have to go to the suburbs to take a look."

Chen Fang nodded, then turned the steering wheel and drove towards the suburbs.

The American Airlines Center in its previous life was located in the suburbs of Dallas, and the entire venue could accommodate people.

This is not the largest arena among NBA teams.

Chen Fang felt that since a new venue was to be built, it should be the biggest one yet.

A team's revenue streams are nothing more than ticket sales, advertising, broadcasting rights, and various merchandise such as jerseys.

These factors are all closely related to the team's performance, but the ticket prices remain constant.

After all, the number of people a venue can accommodate is limited.

The more people a stadium can hold, the more tickets the team can sell, and naturally, the more revenue they will generate.

As far as Chen Fang knows, the capacity of most NBA teams' home arenas is around 20,000, with the largest being just over 20,000.

Therefore, this time, Chen Fang plans to go all out and build a super-large stadium that can accommodate 3 people.
