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

The game between the Mavericks and the Spurs has ended, but the controversy surrounding Chen Fang continues to escalate.

However, the external noise did not disturb Chen Fang and the Xiao Niu team.

After finishing their season opener against the Spurs, they drove overnight to Sacramento, California.

The Mavericks will face the Sacramento Kings on the road tomorrow.

In yesterday's opening game, the Kings suffered a heartbreaking 11-point defeat to the Rockets on the road.

Playing at home today, they are determined to secure their first win of the new season.

At the start of the game, Kings star Mitch Richmond quickly got into the game, using drives and outside shots to establish a lead for the Kings.

On the other hand, among the Mavericks' starting five, only Kobe Bryant was able to consistently score.

Led by Kobe, the Mavericks kept the score close and prevented the gap from widening further.

However, once they entered the rotation, the Kings' Tyus Adney and Michael Smith played the role of surprise weapons.

Facing the Mavericks' bench players, the two were like gods descending to earth, helping the Kings extend their lead to 10 points in the second quarter.

Chen Fang had no choice but to bring on the main players early.

The score remained close until the very last moment of the game, with the Mavericks narrowly winning thanks to two crucial three-pointers from Kobe and Nash.

After the back-to-back games, the Mavericks had a short period of adjustment.

After a two-day rest, the Mavericks traveled to Toronto to face the Raptors again.

Like the Mavericks, the Raptors also had two days of rest after playing back-to-back games.

Unlike the Mavericks, the Raptors lost both of their back-to-back games, suffering two consecutive defeats.

Therefore, they are determined to win the game against the Mavericks.

The two sides fought hard for three quarters and were tied at one point. In the fourth quarter, Chen Fang suddenly launched a run-and-gun offense and won the game in one fell swoop, handing the Raptors their third consecutive loss.

The Mavericks then flew overnight to Detroit to play the Pistons.

The new season has only been going on for six days, and the Mavericks are already playing back-to-back games for the second time, which is a huge test of the players' physical fitness.

Even so, the Mavericks still managed to secure a victory on the road, extending their winning streak.

With a 4-0 record, the Mavericks and Rockets are currently tied for first place in the Western Conference.

The Rockets' position as the top team in the Western Conference was something many people predicted at the beginning of the season.

But the Mavericks' performance was unexpected.

After all, the Mavericks underwent a major overhaul this summer, and even though they achieved a perfect record in the Summer League and preseason, many experts and media outlets still do not have a high opinion of them.

However, they silenced all the experts and media with victory after victory.

After a short road trip, Chen Fang led his team back to Dallas, where they will host the Miami Heat in three days.

During this rare short holiday, Chen Fang simply gave everyone a break.

He himself took advantage of the holiday to come to the construction site of the new stadium.

Construction on the new stadium has begun, and the foundation is currently being dug in an orderly manner.

Chen Fang handed over the entire project to Shen Jieyi for follow-up.

"Boss, here are the construction drawings you requested."

Shen Jieyi approached Chen Fang with a huge construction blueprint in her hand.

Chen Fang only glanced at it and realized that he couldn't understand the blueprint at all. Since he couldn't understand it, he simply stopped looking at it.

Chen Fang waved his hand, signaling Shen Jieyi to put the blueprints away, and then asked, "Have the renderings of the new stadium been completed?"

"It's already out. If you want to see it, boss, we need to go to the office," Shen Jieyi replied truthfully.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

After saying that, Chen Fang took the lead and walked towards the temporary office at the construction site.

Along the way, Chen Fang observed the workers around the site. He found that most of them were resting and not working, which puzzled him.

Upon arriving at the office, Chen Fang took the initiative to ask.

"What's wrong with those workers? Don't they have to do any work?"

Hearing this, Shen Jieyi also looked troubled. "Boss, I can't help it. That's how the local workers in the US are."

"They only work 8 hours a day, not a second more, unless they are paid overtime."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fang frowned and then asked, "How long is the new stadium expected to take to build?"

Shen Jieyi thought for a moment and replied, "Based on the current construction progress, it will take at least two years if nothing unexpected happens."

Two years? By then, the flowers will be too cold to bloom.

"No, two years is too long."

Chen Fang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then made a major decision.

"Jieyi, go and fire all these workers later."

"You quit everything?"

Shen Jieyi looked at Chen Fang in surprise. Even if all these workers were laid off and a new batch were hired, it would still be the same. What was the point?

“That’s right, they all quit.” Chen Fang nodded to confirm. “Then you go to China and recruit a group of workers. Pay them according to the US standard. I believe many people will be willing to do this job.”

In 96, the average wage in China was only a few tens or hundreds of yuan, while the average wage in the United States had reached 2522.5 US dollars, which was more than 2 Chinese yuan according to the exchange rate at the time.

Earning 96 yuan a month in 2 was an incredibly impressive feat.

Chen Fang believed that with such a high salary, there would definitely be a lot of people vying to do it.

Besides, it doesn't matter who earns this money, so why not let your fellow countrymen earn it?

Having made up his mind, Chen Fang immediately instructed Shen Jieyi to begin preparations for the matter.

China's reputation as an infrastructure powerhouse is well-deserved. Projects that would take two years to complete in the United States can be finished in China within six months with guaranteed quality and quantity.

……

11 month 9 day.

The Mavericks hosted the Heat at home.

This Heat team is led by Mourning and Dan Mallley.

Although Mourning was not as dominant in the paint as the four great centers of his time, he is the most outstanding defensive player in NBA history.

Dan Maurice was one of the most outstanding shooters of the 1990s and even in history.

Besides these two, the Heat also have a host of strong players such as Tim Hardaway and Kurt Thomas.

Overall, the Heat's roster is quite good, and with renowned coach Pat Riley at the helm, many predicted before the game that the Heat would be able to end the Mavericks' winning streak.

However, the course of the match was completely contrary to what everyone had predicted beforehand.

Throughout the game, the Heat were completely dominated by the Mavericks, and the game quickly became garbage time.

The reason the Heat were suppressed was because their roster was very similar to the Mavericks'.

Mourning primarily focuses on defense and lacks independent offensive capabilities, which is why he is not as good as the four top centers.

Dan Mavericks and Tim Hardaway Jr. on the perimeter were indeed very accurate, but the Mavericks also had Peja Stojakovic and Steve Nash on their side.

The main reason for the Heat's loss was that they didn't have a superstar scorer like Kobe.

Kobe didn't actually take many shots in this game, but whenever the Heat tried to catch up, Kobe would always step up at crucial moments and force the opponent to call a timeout.

After defeating the Heat, the Mavericks have achieved their fifth consecutive win since the start of the season.
