Four Hundred and Seventy Six. The So-Called Praise and Killing Can only Be More Ruthless
"How about it, Noah, these are new masseurs I just hired in the summer, and I specially asked them to go to China to learn some of your massage techniques... ugh... buddy, don't pull so hard..."
James had known Sun Ce's habits for a long time and deliberately investigated. He knew that Sun Ce would practice every night, so he went to the gym of the hotel where the Grizzlies stayed to look for Sun Ce, and he actually found him.
Although I don’t know why Sun Ce works so hard, I admire him very much and am even more determined to build a good relationship with Sun Ce. Sun Ce will only turn 21 in January next year...
After training together until Sun Ce completed the Nash training method, James took Sun Ce to do physical therapy together.
Sun Ce listened to James' words and watched the technician put two rows of jars on James and move them around until James screamed... He actually started cupping!
This girl must be too ambitious. After being scolded so miserably this summer, she still has the heart to open another physical therapy classroom in Miami, combining Chinese and Western methods!
However, the massage after training is indeed very comfortable. It is different from the feeling of system repair after sleeping. System repair does not feel at all. Every day, I am repeatedly in the cycle of practicing until I am half dead, then lying down and sleeping and continuing to practice. .
Sun Ce had thought about doing this when he saw that Nash had his own physical therapy classroom, but he really didn't have the time to do it, and he didn't have the connections in this area.
When he was still training in Phoenix in the summer of 2009, he asked that guy John for help, but that guy didn't know what the connections were and actually found a few female college students who knew how to massage. It was crazy.
Sun Ce thought for a while and then said: "LeBron, I will invest in you to open a physical therapy classroom in Memphis!"
"Do you also want to open one? Of course you can. Just ask your agent to contact my agent whenever you are free. Our company has people in charge of physical therapy classrooms." James did not refuse. It is business anyway. , and can also have a good relationship with Sun Ce.
…
The two didn't talk too much about other things. James took Sun Ce to a nearby villa-style hotel where he temporarily rented for a massage, and then sent Sun Ce back to the hotel.
Now the living conditions of James and Sun Ce have stabilized. James signed a six-year contract with the Heat and can jump out of the contract early in 2014. He will also have a stable basketball career and life for at least four years.
For at least four years, James will not be able to hook up with any young stars or talented new stars. Their Big Three occupied more than 49 million U.S. dollars in the first year, and this season’s salary cap is less than 5,900. Ten thousand US dollars, by the 2013-2014 season, the salaries of their three giants alone almost filled the salary cap.
James knows that there will not be much reinforcement in the next few years, only minor repairs at most. There will be a mid-level team every year. It depends on whether the Heat management is willing to pay the luxury tax to use the mid-level contract.
But that doesn't mean that he can't have a good relationship with young players, not in four years, not in six years, not in eight years... He is only thirty-three or four years old, and he needs to plan carefully for the future.
As for being besieged by the media and having your jersey burned by fans this summer, you have to stay depressed and hide at home?
Obviously, James is not this kind of person. He is still living happily, carrying out his career plan, and happily welcomes the next stage of his career with two All-Star or even superstar-level teammates.
It is true that he cares about what the media and fans say, but he is more convinced that this choice is correct. The summer of 2010 is very critical for him.
First of all, the seven-year, $90 million endorsement contract signed with Nike in July 2003 expired. Without going to big cities, it was impossible to raise the price to the highest price.
After joining the Heat, James renewed his contract with Nike for 5 years. Within 5 years, Nike has the power to upgrade the contract to a lifetime contract. After the lifetime contract terms are implemented, the total value will reach 1 billion US dollars, half of which will be used for charity in the next 20 years...
This is a sky-high endorsement that you will definitely not get if you stay in Cleveland.
And... having been scolded, James simply broke the pot. At the Heat media day more than half a month ago, James laughed like crazy and said: "Not one, not two, not three... We will Surpass the Lakers and become the strongest dynasty in the 21st century!"
He is a very smart person, and he knows that as long as he wins the championship, no problem will be solved.
If he stays with the Cavaliers, he might become the next Elgin Baylor, and he won't be able to make it out of the Eastern Conference. No truly powerful superstar is willing to go to Cleveland. He even recruited Garnett back then. Expressed his willingness to partner with him and likes his pick-and-roll offensive ability, but not in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers don't have the leverage to trade back even an All-Star in his prime.
James has accepted the current situation of being scolded out of control, and his short-term 4 to 6-year championship plan has been finalized. His future plans must also be well prepared. A basketball career does not only last 4 to 6 years...
…
…
Sun Ce, on his side, returned to the hotel, washed up, lay on the bed, and came to Miami to meet James. He felt that James was completely different from other players.
I have become a street rat this summer. Someone else may not be able to handle such pressure, but I am still living a happy life.
But Sun Ce thought that if he could partner with peak Wade and Bosh... he would also be very happy.
Thinking of the Big Three, Sun Ce feels that the Heat will do great things this summer!
James will not turn 26 until the end of the year, Wade will not turn 29 until January next year, and Bosh will not turn 27 until March next year...
This is different from when the Celtics' Big Three were formed when the youngest Pierce was 30 years old and his athletic ability was in decline...
The Heat's Big Three are young and capable!
They also signed Mike Miller, a top pitcher that the Grizzlies have been pursuing for a long time but are unwilling to return to the Grizzlies because of past grievances. In addition, Mike Bibby, who took the initiative to buy out the Wizards and joined the Heat, and Eddie House, who did not renew his contract with the Knicks, came to the Heat for a minimum salary, and Arroyo, another Puerto Rican who renewed his contract with a minimum salary of US$1.22 million, the Heat have assembled a very good pitching group for the James and Way combination. .
In terms of insiders, Juwan Howard and Eric Dampier joined with minimum salaries, and Big Z was also brought out from the Cavaliers by James.
What Cavaliers fans currently hate James the most, apart from the fact that he has gone back on his word many times and said he would help the Cavaliers win the championship, is that James has brought the team's soul, Big Z, together.
As for the center position, if James does not leave the Cavaliers, Big Z will still be the best center around him. O'Neal's 20 million expired Cavaliers will definitely not renew his contract.
The power forward was upgraded from the elderly Jamison to Bosh, and the shooting guard was upgraded from Mayo to Wade...
Putting aside the negative impact of teaming up, the teammates around James have finally strengthened!
Sun Ce didn't think too far into the future, he focused on the present.
The Grizzlies are currently developing well and have a chance to win the championship in the next few years when Randolph is still at his peak.
The biggest rivals in the West, after the Lakers have passed their peak, are the Spurs, Thunder, and Mavericks. There is only one in the East, James.
Maybe there are other variables. For example, Evans went to the 76ers. God knows whether the 76ers will use Iguodala to help the Lakers get Howard. The Magic don’t want Bynum. They like to train their own centers... too many Many uncertainties.
However, Sun Ce has no doubts that James will be as dominant in the Eastern Conference as Elgin Baylor was in the Western Conference in two years after his shooting becomes better.
Sun Ce is a little envious of the Eastern Conference teams. He only has James as his enemy if he wants to reach the finals.
And he is in the Western Conference. If he wants to enter the Finals, he must first cross the top four in the Western Conference. Even if he crosses it, there is still James... It is really difficult!
…
…
The time has arrived on October 21st, and the preseason game between the Grizzlies and Heat has arrived.
The Grizzlies have only played 3 preseason games, while other teams have basically played 5 games by this time.
The Grizzlies currently have 2 wins and 1 loss in the preseason, while the Heat... have lost five games in a row!
The transition between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks is quite difficult, with so many players added and so many left.
The Heat are a completely new team and have to start from scratch.
The Heat, like the Grizzlies, don't care who the opponent is, and no matter what the media says or brags about, they just run tactics. Coach Spoelstra wants to run the Big Three and the role players as much as possible before the regular season. Among them, the distribution of ball rights between James and Wade is very important.
The Grizzlies don't care about competing with the Heat, and there is nothing to compete with. The Heat have no intention of competing with the Grizzlies at this critical running-in stage. The two teams have no relationship at all in their team history, mainly the Grizzlies. , in just fifteen years of history, the two teams have only met 29 times in the regular season combined.
Overall, the Grizzlies performed much better than the Heat, who are currently in a mess. Even though the Grizzlies were adjusting their tactics, they still beat the Heat by 26 points 103-77...
…
The preseason passed day by day, and on October 22, the Grizzlies returned to Memphis after half a month, and the preseason of each team was nearing its end.
After a day's rest, on the 23rd, the Grizzlies began to prepare for the next two preseason games at home against the Hornets. These two games are the last two games for the Grizzlies to prepare for the regular season.
Today is a very important day for many players. By the 22nd, major media have announced all rankings after the top 20 of their respective star strength rankings.
In general, the top 20 candidates from the three authoritative media outlets, ESPN, .T, and Sports Illustrated, are similar, because the general list of players outside of the 20 is the same.
There are only some differences when it comes to the Spurs troika.
Parker is still regarded as the top 20 players in the league, and Ginobili has been placed outside the 30th. In terms of overall strength, there is not much problem with the ranking of these two.
But ESPN ranked Duncan at No. 21! Both Sports Illustrated and .T still put Duncan in the top 20.
For the Grizzlies, four people are in the top 50 in the league. Gasol is ranked 44th and Gay is ranked 26th. Generally speaking, this ranking is not bad.
But Sun Ce entered the top 20... He had been paying attention when the top 50 was announced. But after waiting for three days, yesterday the 21st to 30th place was announced, but he still didn't see his name. He also used Ctrl+F I searched for my name, and it turned out that there really wasn't anything there... that means it was really in the top 20!
Later, when I read other news, Sun Ce confirmed that he was in the top 20. Although it felt incredible, he was of course very happy!
Among the new generation players, except for Durant and Sun Ce,
At 12 noon, several key players of the Grizzlies did not go to the restaurant for lunch. Instead, they gathered in front of the computer in the lounge, with three laptops set up, waiting for the official websites of several major media to announce the 20th to 11th place. ranking.
In addition to Sun Ce entering the top 20, Randolph also entered.
At twelve o'clock at noon, Randolph quickly refreshed the website and quickly operated on three computers.
At No. 20, ESPN gave Ray Allen, who was ranked No. 21 on the other two lists, while Sports Illustrated and .T both placed Duncan at No. 20.
Seeing Duncan's name... Sun Ce was curious about the expressions of those who looked down on him when this guy could be selected for both the All-NBA and All-Defensive teams in five years.
Putting this thought aside, Sun Ce began to look for his name... He couldn't find it!
Randolph's name was found, ESPN ranked him 14th; Sports Illustrated ranked him the highest, at 11th; .T ranked him 13th.
In addition to the top 5 rankings, which accurately express the media's recognition of the strength of the top 5 players, in other rankings, every 5th place is a level. This is people's consensus.
This ranking means that Randolph is recognized as a player among the 11th to 15th players, that is, between the third team and the second team. Because there are many players in the same position, Wade is rarely selected for the first team, the second team, and the third team. This will also happen with arrays.
But...Randolph was only ranked 11th to 15th...Sun Ce actually didn't find his name, and he also felt the weird looks in his eyes from several of his main teammates.
In the new season, among the three authoritative media lists, 4 players under the age of 23 are actually in the top ten!
In the past decade or so since the NBA draft began with freshmen and high school students, how many capable players can be ranked in the top ten in the strength rankings before the age of 23?
When Kobe was 22 years old, he was on the second team and first defense, and won the first championship with O'Neal. Before the start of the 2000-01 season, he ranked sixth in the league.
At the age of 20, James averaged 27+7+7 per game and was selected for the second team. He was eighth in the league before the start of the 2005-06 season.
When Duncan was 22 years old, he finished his rookie season, playing first and second defense, and ranked third in the league before the start of the 1998-99 season.
Then in the training camp of the 2009-10 season, Rose, who had just turned 21, was ranked tenth in the league. Now, Rose, who has just turned 22, was ranked in the top ten again...
Those who were able to reach the top ten before the age of 23 can all be traced back to O'Neal, Hardaway, and Hill!
This time, Rose continued to enter the top ten, Evans also entered the top ten, and Durant also entered the top ten from the 15th place before the start of last season.
The last one is, of course, his grandson!
When Sun Ce entered the top 20, it already caused a lot of controversy... Now he's in the top ten... Didn't you see the shock in the eyes of his teammates?
"ESPN Bimabi! This is a stumbling block for me, isn't it? You don't play like this when you win, do you?"
