Chapter 1283 Beating You Is Like Crossing the Road in the Morning
In the locker room of the visiting team, the players of the Tornado team sat down in their positions in dejection, and the atmosphere in the locker room was very depressed.
At this moment, the four members of Joey's family plus Li Feng, an outsider, walked in.
"crack" "crack" "crack"
Joey clapped his hands, got everyone's attention, and said loudly, "Hey guys, cheer up, a loss doesn't mean anything, and I'm also responsible for losing this game, I shouldn't advise you like that."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the members of the Tornado team became better.
"Come on, let me introduce you to a new friend, Li Feng, who is also the future owner of the Tornado."
Joey pulled Li Feng in front of everyone and introduced it solemnly.
Although these players cannot decide who will be the team owner, having a good relationship with the players will be very beneficial to future management.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the locker room, and then Zorro asked, "Joey, are you going to sell the team?"
"Did we perform so poorly that you were disappointed enough to sell the team?"
"Oh no, Joey, please give us a little more time, we will definitely try to improve the team's record."
The players of the Tornados thought that they were not playing well, so Joey gave birth to the idea of selling the team.
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I'm not selling the team, but a part of the shares, not much, just 49%. I'm still the major shareholder of the team." Joey quickly explained.
Hearing this, the members of the Tornado team breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Feng with a strange expression, and looked at him up and down.
Who is this Chinese man who can make Joey willing to sell 49% of the team's shares?
Li Feng waved his hands to the crowd and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I'm Li Feng, a super rich man. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Tornado player: "???"
Coaching staff member: "???"
Isn't it... so straightforward, you say you are super rich right away? Can we be humble!
It can make Lao Mi feel that the other party is not humble, Li Feng's words are indeed straightforward enough.
"You must be wondering why I bought 49% of the Tornados, right?"
Li Feng glanced around the crowd and asked with a smile.
Zorro and the others nodded their heads. The Tornados have such a poor record at the moment, their home attendance rate is also among the worst in the league, and there are few advertising partners. If they hadn’t caught up with the dividends of the league’s rapid development, the Tornados’ market value would not have grown. too much.
Li Feng took a deep breath and said loudly, "Because I want the Tornados to win the NBA championship in the next three years!"
Tornado player: "..."
Member of the coaching staff: "..."
Even Joey has a question mark on his face. Didn't you say before that your goal was to let the Chinese players play the main force in the Tornados? Why did the Tornados win the championship at this time?
"I know you guys think I'm bullshitting, but I have to tell you that under Joey and I, the Winds will soon be the No. 1 team in the NBA."
"So... cheer up guys, you're the best."
Li Feng clenched his fist in his right hand and cheered.
There was an awkward silence in response...
I don't know how long it took, the team's ace Zorro said solemnly: "Mr. Li, I respect you very much, but I think you should recognize the reality."
"We all have a strong desire to win, but the strength of the team is here. If the goal is set too high, it will also affect the morale."
Li Feng raised his eyebrows: "Do you think it is impossible to win the championship in three years?"
Zorro spread his hands: "At least I don't see any possibility now,
Maybe you can spend a lot of money and sign a few superstars in the free market, but winning the championship is not based on the accumulation of superstars. "
"Let's put it this way, within three years I hope the team can reach the Eastern Conference finals. This goal is the most realistic."
Zorro's words aroused the echoes of other players, and even the coaching staff nodded in agreement.
Whether a team can win the championship is affected by many factors, such as the team's heritage, the tactical arrangement of the coaching staff, the chemical reaction between the players, the health of the players and even the atmosphere of the fans, etc.
There are many examples in history of piling up stars but failing to win the championship. Let’s not talk about it, let’s just say that the Warriors had the Big Five in the past two years. The players of the team all believed that the Warriors would win the championship this season and win a wave of three consecutive championships.
Everyone already knows the ending. The five main players suffered injuries one after another. In the end, only one main player was left and missed the championship.
Is the strength of the Warriors weak or the tactical arrangement of the coaching staff is unreasonable?
Even such a team can't win the championship. What can the Tornado team without any strong team background win the championship within three years, when other teams are paper-pulled?
There is no weak team in the NBA!
Li Feng is also not angry: "It's normal for you to have such thoughts. After all, we just met and don't know me well enough."
Zorro smiled: "Mr. Li, it has nothing to do with you... Let's put it this way, it's almost impossible for the Tornados to win the championship in three years, just like letting me lose to you in a one-on-one duel."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
Joey frowned slightly, and immediately reminded Zorro to respect Li Feng, but Li Feng raised his hand to stop him: "Zorro, your metaphor is very good, then according to your meaning, as long as I can defeat you, you can believe it. With Joey and me leading the way, can the Tornados win a championship in three years?"
Zorro looked at the reactions of his teammates left and right, and then smiled: "Of course, but it is impossible, I am the top 20 stars in the league, and you are just a super rich."
As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of laughter in the locker room.
"How do you know it's impossible if you don't try it?" Li Feng's mouth evoked a playful smile: "How about a one-on-one duel with me now?"
"Li, are you serious?" Joey leaned close to Li Feng's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Of course, with my ability, the process of defeating Zorro is like crossing the road in the morning." Li Feng said with a wink.
Zoro was stunned for a moment, then asked angrily, "Are you serious?"
The other players also looked at Li Feng in disbelief, as if thinking about who gave Li Feng the confidence to defeat Zorro.
"Of course, I'm still willing to bet $10,000 for this heads-up, how about that?" Li Feng smiled and stretched out his fist.
"Okay, I hope you don't cry to find your mother later." Zorro bumped fists with Li Feng, and then began to wear sneakers and jerseys.
The other players stopped talking, and all started to wear clothes, ready to go to the scene to see how Zorro taught this arrogant Chinese.
At this moment, LB came to visit, he noticed the strange atmosphere in the locker room for the first time, and couldn't help asking: "Hey guys, what are you doing?"
Joey shrugged, and with a wry smile, told about Li Feng's one-on-one fight with Zorro.
LB looked at Li Feng curiously for a while, then blinked after a while and said, "Can I bet?"
