One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty-Three. Screams From NBA Headquarters
At that time, some fans teased Durant online for being timid and cowardly. Durant was so sensitive that he directly waved his keyboard and opened a trumpet to fight with the fans who teased him.
Others might have said it casually, but Durant took it to heart.
Also, it is true that because he did not compete, people paid more attention to other scoring champions than Durant. He scored high points and averaged more than 30 points per game, but not many people thought he was competing for the scoring title.
If Anthony had not missed too many games this season due to fatigue-induced shoulder injuries, Anthony would have had a chance to be selected as an All-Star starter, because Anthony's high scores have been in the news more times than Durant this season.
Durant's brain circuit is also quite strange. When he is defeated by the enemy, he often hates not the enemy, but the operation of his own management.
Especially now, Harden has played at the All-Star level immediately after leaving the Thunder, averaging 20+6+8 per game...
It's not that Ellis is not good. Compared with Harden's performance last season, Ellis' performance this year may be even better. Last year, Harden did not score so sharply at the basket.
But compared with Harden this year, let alone Ellis this season, even in his peak year, Ellis may not have any advantages over Harden this year.

On the other hand, Sun Ce was in a very good mood today. Randolph was selected as an All-Star starter yesterday and looked very motivated. That means that in the next game, if Randolph can rely on this momentum to play better than usual, it will definitely be a huge benefit for their Grizzlies.
Also, after using the Jordan card last time, Sun Ce has been working hard to practice folding layups and pull-up layups under the basket. He has made good progress. The quick change of hands and the moon-looking throw-back are getting better and better.
Unlike when there was no left-handed ball control and left-handed layup, the layup evaluation reached A+ level and could not improve anymore. Sun Ce now feels obvious progress. It is only a matter of time before he breaks through the quasi-top and becomes S-level on the edge of the top!
There is also the connection of two-handed ball control, which is constantly improving with the improvement of ball sense. The crossover dribbling is getting better and better. It is not so easy to use it in the game, but practice makes perfect. Take your time and don't rush.
Basic skills are accumulated bit by bit.
In addition to these, there is one thing for Sun Ce that he doesn't know whether to be happy or regretful about.
The Thunder, which has played 47 games, has 36 wins and 11 losses, which is slightly worse than the Spurs, who also played 47 games with 37 wins and 10 losses. The Thunder is currently ranked second in the West.
This made Sun Ce not receive the new target trigger prompt of "Top Sniper" today.
This reduced the pressure on Sun Ce's game tonight. There was already a small book event, and there was an additional event of losing as many points as the number of games was low, which was a lot of pressure.
But the Thunder is not the first in the West, so Sun Ce has no chance to get the Thunder's star experience card this season...
Then he lost an opportunity to get a Durant card. He used it once last year and it was so cool!
Now, to get a Durant card, you have to have a record advantage in the regular season and win the series against the Thunder in the playoffs.
Sun Ce doesn't think his team will lose to the Thunder in the playoffs. He is confident that they will have a 60-40 chance, but they may not meet in the playoffs. The main reason is that Sun Ce is worried that the Thunder will fall first when they meet the Spurs and the Lakers.

During the afternoon break, the players of both teams have their own thoughts and concerns.
But today is a period of frequent news.
It may be because Sun Ce came to this world, which made the situation of the NBA more chaotic and attracted more fans' attention. The ratings in recent years are much higher than those in the original time and space at the same time. The league's salary cap is higher than that in the original time and space at the same time, which means better income.
Therefore, Adam Silva has not officially taken office yet. He has already begun to negotiate with major broadcasters on behalf of the NBA last summer. All major broadcasters want to determine the new broadcast agreement early.
The current contract expires in the 14-15 season, which is more than two years away. Smartphones are becoming more and more popular, and the number of people watching mobile videos has begun to keep pace with PCs.
At this time, if the broadcast agreement is determined early, deployment can be made early.
Finally, this morning, Adam Silva and major broadcasters reached a 9-year, 27 billion US dollar broadcasting agreement!
When the NBA officially revealed the preliminary intention of the agreement in the afternoon, Adam Silva reached the peak of his life!
The previous broadcasting agreement was an average of 960 million US dollars per year, and now it is an average of 3 billion US dollars per year!
This means that after the new broadcasting agreement takes effect in the 15-16 season, the total league revenue in the 15-16 season will increase by 2 billion US dollars compared to the 14-15 season.
Therefore, the salary cap in the 16-17 season will be increased by at least 25 million compared to the 15-16 season!
What does this mean?
It means that most players will have a big salary increase!
The base salary has become higher, the middle-class contract has become better... However, the main thing is that the All-Stars are the happiest, and the maximum salary contract will be incredibly high!
Some media have come up with a calculation method. Based on the normal income growth before the start of the 15-16 season, the salary cap for the 15-16 season is expected to be between 71 million and 75 million. In other words, after receiving 3 billion in annual broadcasting fees in the 15-16 season, it is very likely that the salary cap for the 16-17 season will reach 100 million.
If the Bird Rights reaches 7 years, the top players will renew their contracts with veteran-designated clauses and rookies who trigger the overlord clauses at 35% of the salary cap, which will directly break Jordan's NBA record of 33 million annual salary!
Adam Silva has done a big thing before he officially took office!
…
New York, NBA headquarters.
The preliminary agreement with major broadcasters in North America has been reached. Now it only needs the advertising department, operations department, etc. to slowly discuss the details with major broadcasters.
Things have been determined. Adam Silva has become a big star in the headquarters. Some people who were originally dissatisfied with his succession to the position of president next year now know that they are powerless to stop Adam Silva from taking office.
"This is not my own credit. Everyone is helping me and creating better negotiation conditions for me..."
Seeing Adam Silva shaking his fat body and speaking hypocritical and insincere words with a sharp voice and a smug expression, some league officials who are not in the same camp as Adam Silva can only smile and agree.
Compared to when he was confirmed to succeed the president last year, Adam Silva has gained 40 kilograms.
Feeling greedy again, after a bit of pretense with his future subordinates, Adam Silva walked towards the stairs with a proud step, ready to go back to his vice president's office upstairs. He didn't take the elevator because his personal doctor suggested that he should lose weight and eat less sugar.
Eating less sugar is impossible, and he doesn't refuse to exercise and lose weight.
Just as he was trotting upstairs, an accident happened, and he stepped on empty air...
A series of sharp and shrill screams came from the escape stairs of the NBA headquarters building!
