One Thousand Five Hundred and Forty-Two. Black Panda's Gambling Agreement
,
But later, Sun Ce suppressed him again!
Just like the Thunder were only eighth in the Western Conference and Westbrook actually topped the MVP rankings twice in the past four weeks, after Sun Ce's data exploded, no one paid attention to their fall to fifth in the Western Conference. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test
Coach Hollins has been playing basketball for so many years and has been an assistant coach and head coach for many years. He has been in the basketball world for decades, and this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.
When the Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks gradually emerged from the quagmire, and the Grizzlies played fewer games and had a lower winning rate, and the coaching staff was overwhelmed by various unfavorable situations, they suddenly discovered that they could actually use data to cover up record problems!
Before Coach Hollins entered the NBA, the era of Zhang Erwan and the Lord of the Rings had just ended. At that time, Zhang Erwan had so many explosive statistics, but he was always criticized.
Before Jordan won his first championship, he was also regarded as a scoring brush. Only champions like Magic and Big Bird were regarded as winners.
Look at this year... Coach Hollins can only lament that the world is changing too fast!
But this kind of thing is a good thing for the Grizzlies. Not so many people are talking about their ranking. Reporters are also asking about Sun Ce's triple-double.
That is to say, the pressure is concentrated on Sun Ce, and others can take a breath. Now they need to make a lot of adjustments. For example, because they can take turns and multiple players rotate, they do not need to consider too much physical distribution in the game, and adjustments to the individual responsibilities of the players... ...The pressure on the court is already high enough. Only the third brother can bear the pressure off the court so as not to be overwhelmed by the pressure.
Being a member of a team that has won two consecutive championships is already a huge pressure.
And in addition to these pressures, there is something extra - they are a Western Conference team. With 10 wins and 5 losses, they can tie for second place in the Eastern Conference with the 11 wins and 6 losses of the Bulls!
Fortunately, Coach Hollins doesn’t have to worry about whether Sun Ce can withstand the pressure. If this guy doesn’t want to be interviewed, he won’t go. If he wants to amuse reporters, he can go ahead and mess around... Coach Hollins thinks he should be worried about the team’s press officer Ke Rhys Kyle.
This veteran employee who has been working for the team for more than ten years since the team was founded has strong business ability and good ability to withstand pressure. He has never left the Grizzlies for more than ten years, even if other teams offer better treatment. When the boss sees him, he will take the initiative to say hello and show respect. He doesn't know whether he is lucky or unlucky to meet a popular superstar like Sun Ce.
After the first game month, coach Hollins is preparing to make drastic changes in the second game month.
Prepare for bigger changes around the All-Star break.
But there are also a lot of troubles, things to worry about.
For example, Chris Wallace made this suggestion: "Leonard, we should adjust Zach's regular season role. He has been very tired in recent years. We can moderately reduce his playing time in the early season. …”
Coach Hollins also wants to do this, but he has his concerns: "Zach is now in a contract year, and he definitely wants to perform well. Although he has weight problems and is proud of winning two championships, he He has been trying his best to perform, and it is the same in these two games since his comeback. His playing time has been reduced, and he may not agree to continue to reduce his playing time.”
Chris Wallace said: "You don't have to worry about this. Robert and I are discussing Zach's contract with Bill Duffy. We will reach a new two-year contract with Zach as soon as possible."
This is really a direct solution to the current problem!
For Coach Hollins now, the record is actually not that important. Their current winning rate, if converted into 82 games, can get 54 wins, but they may not get such a record in the end.
However, for their current situation, it is enough to get 50+ wins. Health comes first!
But if the team planned to renew the contract in advance, why hasn't it been officially reached yet? Coach Hollins believes that Randolph will immediately agree to renew his contract in advance, then lose weight and spend the regular season lazily...
Is the team lowering Randolph's salary? This is unlikely. That is the contract for next season and the next season. Since it is a two-year extension, this year's salary has been lowered to the luxury tax threshold. It is expected to increase by about 25 million in the 2016-2017 season. Salary cap, even if Randolph is given a two-year maximum salary, they will have to pay luxury tax for the next two seasons, which will also expire in 2016. The boss who spends money on his team is not afraid of spending money, but is afraid that the money will not be spent and spent in the wrong place. There can be no such problem.
Chris Wallace saw Coach Hollins' confusion and smiled helplessly: "I discussed contract extension with Bill Duffy after the game on the 26th. We talked for two days, and we are almost done talking today. , we negotiated a two-year contract extension of 26 million, but just after the game, Bill Duffy suddenly said that he would increase the price to 30 million in two years.”
"14 million a year? Isn't that unacceptable? Although Zach is 32 years old, I believe he can play an important role in the playoffs for at least the next two years." Coach Hollins was even more puzzled.
Chris Wallace smiled bitterly and said: "Leonard, please wait until I finish. In fact, what I initially offered was 28 million for two years, and 30 million for two years is our acceptable price, but Bill Duffy's After discussing with Zach, Zach took the initiative to choose only 13 million per year because he felt that he was lagging behind in the early stages of the season.”
The confused coach Hollins asked: "Then why did it suddenly rise again?"
Chris Wallace responded: "I am also confused. Before I asked him, Bill Duffy took the initiative to sign a bet agreement with us!"
"Betting agreement? Could it be..."
"Yes, it's what you think. Next season and the season after next, if Zach can control his weight within 270 pounds, he can get 15 million a year. For every pound over 1 pound, he will get 100,000 less, and the deducted salary will be donated to Noah's pure public welfare children's charity foundation."
"..." Coach Hollins was speechless for a while, and said with a twitch of his mouth: "Bill Duffy is really a conscientious businessman..."
...
...
"Noah! Tell me, is it your bad idea?"
"It's not me, don't talk nonsense, do you have evidence?"
"If it's not you, who else can it be? Can people come up with such an idea?"
On the 29th, the first of the Grizzlies' three rest days, most people did not arrange training, only Randolph and Gasol had weight loss training.
Sun Ce took the initiative to practice. He felt that his left-side shooting in the three-second zone had improved a lot recently, mainly because he was getting better and better at getting rid of the defense in the game!
Shooting with both hands feels the same, but the defense methods of the defenders are different. After a month of adaptation, Sun Ce began to find the feeling of shooting with the left side.
However, as soon as he arrived at the gym, Sun Ce was "hunted down" by Randolph...
