Jiang Dongbing was very happy when he learned that the team was willing to renew his contract for US$10 million.

The main reason is that he doesn't really want to leave the Grizzlies. After all, this Grizzlies was built by himself. If he left directly, he would really be reluctant to leave Jackson and others.

"Jiang, we are also planning to hire you as the team's president of basketball affairs. We hope you can accept this position." Stewart informed Jiang Dongbing of another piece of news.

Originally, Stewart was serving as the president of basketball affairs concurrently. Although McCaw Jr. did not mention letting Jiang Dongbing do this job, Stewart felt that it would be better for him to step down.

The position of President of Basketball Affairs is more suitable for Jiang Dongbing.

The more important reason is that if Jiang Dongbing's salary is revealed to be as high as 10 million US dollars, it will be more reasonable to concurrently serve as the president of basketball affairs.

Otherwise, other teams will definitely have objections. The Grizzlies are completely driving up prices.

Generally speaking, coaches' salaries are not leaked, but there is no airtight wall in the world. Since the outside world can know the salaries of Wilkens and others, they can definitely find out Jiang Dongbing's salary next season.

…

It can be seen that the Grizzlies absolutely value Jiang Dongbing, and now all the money and power have been handed over to Jiang Dongbing.

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant. Jiang Dongbing would definitely not die for a grizzly bear, but he could repay the grizzly bear's trust.

If a team wants to make money, it must have a lot of popularity and attract a lot of fans' attention.

In order to be popular, in addition to the team having an excellent record, the team also needs to have attention-grabbing stars. Sometimes stars are even more useful in attracting popularity than record.

Especially if some stars perform at a historical level in a single game or season, it will definitely increase the team's attendance.

A team like the Spurs has a small market. In addition to the small home city, there is also a reason why the team's stars don't have super-powerful statistics. If Duncan averages 30 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks per game, that may be the case.

It will be different.

Now that the season schedule is over halfway, because the Grizzlies have too many players who can play, we definitely can't expect a player like Jackson to average more than 30 points per game. Even because of the joining of O'Neill and Lewis, Jackson's

The score dropped slightly.

Since the average data per game cannot be greatly improved, Jiang Dongbing can only think of ways to work with single-game data, trying to let Jackson and others produce a single-game data that shocks the league, in order to help the Grizzlies attract more attention from NBA fans.

.

…

Next, the Grizzlies will challenge the New York Knicks away from home. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for the world to pay attention to the Grizzlies.

New York is the largest city in the world. The NBA headquarters is also located here, and the number of fans is terrifying.

It's just that fans in New York are not that loyal. Their loyalty to the Knicks may be ranked last in the league. It is often the case that fans cheer for the away team during Knicks home games.

And the strength of this Knicks team is not very strong. It is roughly the level of goalkeepers in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Jiang Dongbing feels that if the Grizzlies beat the Knicks now, it can be said to be almost a sure win.

Half an hour before the game, in the visiting team's locker room.

Jiang Dongbing summoned the generals. He was going to hold a small meeting before the game to announce his plan for today.

"Guys, most of you are newcomers, and you haven't produced any historical single-game data yet."

All the generals nodded. These starting players were either rookies who had just entered the league, had been wasted in the previous few years, or were pure defensive players like Christie.

In this case, although the overall performance is very good, it has never produced any data that fans will never forget.

In fact, even veterans like Thorpe in the Grizzlies don't have very impressive statistics throughout his career.

After all, Thorpe has won a championship and been on the All-Star bench once, so he must be considered a star.

However, Thorpe's career high score in a single game is only 40 points. Although 40 points is a lot, in that game he only had 40 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. Such a statistic cannot be said to be historical.

level.

In addition, there are several double-twenty data, but for insider stars, the double-twenty data is not a rare data. What is really rare is the double-thirty data, which is thirty.

Statistics like thirty rebounds.

"Do you want to produce a piece of data that will go down in history forever?" Jiang Dongbing smiled at the generals.

"Think!" the young players said in unison.

Jiang Dongbing nodded, "Okay, then I will fulfill your wishes in the second half of this season."

"In tonight's game, let Chauncey play first, and we will do our best to cooperate!"

The generals became curious and asked to cooperate? How to cooperate?

In addition, in Jiang Dongbing’s mind, what kind of data can be considered a historical level?

Billups spoke directly, "Coach, what kind of data should I produce to be considered a historical level?"

Now Billups has great respect for Jiang Dongbing. He knows very well that he can produce such outstanding data now because of Jiang Dongbing.

If it were any other head coach, he might still look like a loser.

Jiang Dongbing cleared his throat, "As a point guard, do you want historical data?"

"The assist data is undoubtedly more than 25, and the best score is over 20. If it can exceed 30, it will be qualified to compete with Skiles and Stockton's data.

"

Throughout the history of the NBA, two players among the point guards have the strongest single-game statistics, and no one can surpass them.

One is Scott Skiles, who played for the Magic in the early 1990s. He scored an incredible 22 points and 30 assists against the Nuggets. This number of assists is also the single-game assist record in NBA history.

Skiles' career may not be very impressive, and he may not even be considered a star, but the data in this game is worthy of being called a legend.

From this we can also see how important a legendary single game data is, allowing players like Skiles to go down in history forever and become a topic that fans will talk about for generations to come.

In addition to Skiles, Stockton's 20 points, 28 assists and 8 steals against the Spurs are definitely legendary, even better than Skiles's stats.
