Jiang Dongbing was quite happy to learn that the team was willing to renew his contract for $10 million.

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

"Jiang, we are also preparing to hire you as the team's basketball president, and I hope you can accept this position." Stewart notified Jiang Dongbing with another news.

Originally, Stewart served as the president of basketball affairs. Although McCau did not mention that Jiang Dongbing would do this job, Stewart felt that it would be better for him to take it off.

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 is more reasonable to serve as the president of basketball affairs.

Otherwise, other teams will definitely have objections, and the Grizzlies are completely like raising prices.

Generally speaking, the coach's salary is not leaked, but there is no airtight wall in the world. Since the outside world can know the salary of Wilkens and others, it will definitely be able to find out how much Jiang Dongbing's salary will be next season.

...

It can be seen that the Grizzlies attach absolutely importance to Jiang Dongbing, and now all the money and power are handed over to Jiang Dongbing.

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for his confidant, and Jiang Dongbing will definitely not die for the Grizzlies, but he can repay the Grizzlies' trust well.

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

If you want to be popular, in addition to having excellent record, you also need to have attention-grabbing stars in the team. Sometimes, stars are even more useful than their record in attracting popularity.

Especially some stars have historically-level single-game performances or seasonal performances, which will definitely increase the team's attendance rate.

The reason why a team like the Spurs has a small market is that in addition to the small home city, there are also reasons why the team stars do not have super exciting data. If Duncan averages 30 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks per game, the situation may be different.

The season schedule is now half over, because there are too many players in the Grizzlies, so we can't expect that there will be a player who averages more than 30 points per game among players like Jackson. Even because of O'O and Lewis' joining, Jackson's score has dropped slightly.

Since the average data cannot be greatly improved, Jiang Dongbing can only find a way out of the single-game data, and strive to let Jackson and others play a single-game data that shocks the league, so as to help the Grizzlies attract more attention from NBA fans.

...

Next, the Grizzlies will challenge the New York Knicks away, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity to make the whole world pay attention to the Grizzlies.

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

However, New York fans are not so loyal. Their loyalty to the Knicks may rank last in the league. There are often scenes where fans cheer for the visiting team in home games.

Moreover, the strength of this Knicks is not very strong, basically the level of goalkeepers in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Jiang Dongbing feels that the Grizzlies are almost certain to win the Knicks now.

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

Jiang Dongbing summoned all the generals and wanted to hold a small meeting before the game to announce his plan today.

"Guys, most of you are newcomers, and you haven't even made any historical-level single-game data."

All the players nodded. The starters were either rookies who had just entered the league, were abandoned in the previous years, or were pure defensive players like Christie.

In this case, although the overall performance is very good, I have never produced any data that will make fans unforgettable.

In fact, even veterans like Thorpe in the Grizzlies don’t have much data to show off in their entire career.

Thorpe has won the championship once and entered the All-Star substitute lineup once, so he must be considered a star.

However, Thorpe's highest score in a single game was only forty, although forty was not bad, but that game only had 40 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. Such a data could not be said to be at the historical level.

In addition, there are several double-twenty data, but for inside stars, double-twenty data is not considered rare data. What is really rare is double-thirty data, that is, data such as thirty and thirty rebounds.

"Do you want to produce a data that can be recorded in history forever?" Jiang Dongbing smiled at the generals.

"I want to!" the young player said in unison.

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

"For this game tonight, let Changxi play first, let us cooperate with it with all our strength!"

The generals were curious and cooperated? How to cooperate?

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

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

Bilups now respects Jiang Dongbing very much. He knows very well that he can produce such outstanding data now is entirely thanks to Jiang Dongbing.

If it were other head coaches, I might still look like I am immortal.

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

"The assists are undoubtedly more than twenty-five, and it's best to score more than twenty. If you can score more than thirty, you're qualified to compete with the data from Skeles and Stockton."

Throughout the entire NBA history, two players in the point guard group have the strongest single-game data, and no one can surpass it.

One is Scott Skeles, who played for the Magic in the early 1990s. He scored 22 points and 30 assists in the game against the Nuggets, which is also a record for single-game assists in the NBA history.

Maybe Skeles' career is not very impressive, and it may not even be considered a star, but the data in this game is well deserved to be called a legend.

From this we can also see how important a legendary single game data is, which can make players like Skeles go down in history and become a topic of relish for later fans.

In addition to Skeles, Stockton scored 20 points, 28 assists and 8 steals against the Spurs, which are definitely legendary, and are even more outstanding than Skeles' data.
