Seven Hundred and Sixty-Seven. Whatever You Fear Will Come True.

Sun Ce talked about contract renewal for the first time. Sports Illustrated put the video and text news of Sun Ce's interview on its website, which attracted widespread attention.

People thought Sun Ce's answer to the question about the expiration of the contract was so awesome!

If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be - arrogant or conceited.

But this time such words are not derogatory. People think it is just like that. Sun Ce is absolutely right.

People have seen with their own eyes that in the eight years since the Rockets owned Yao Ming, Rockets owner Alexander has gone from being the poorest owner in the league, and the poorest in the league in terms of both the team's market value and Alexander's personal wealth, to becoming the poorest owner in the team's market value. The sixth team in the league, Alexander's personal assets have also reached the middle of the league in the past 8 years. His other industries have also developed through the Rockets. Comparing this to the Buss family whose only industry is the Lakers, Alexander is now richer. .

It is purely because the Rockets treat Yao Ming as a cash cow and a fool, and are seeking their own death. Now the team's market value has plummeted, and Alexander's industries have also suffered a big decline in the stock market. Otherwise, Alexander would not have thrown out a bunch of money to kill Ai. The big contracts of Jefferson and Billups were brought back to enhance the team's strength and attention.

In less than two years, the Grizzlies' attention, team advertising revenue, and market revenue have all undergone qualitative changes. Although it is not as terrible as the changes that Yao Ming brought to the Rockets as a pioneer, with Sun Ce He has performed at an MVP level and is getting closer and closer to the changes that Yao Ming brought to the Rockets.

However, Sun Ce's answer this time brings the biggest sensory impact to people, not because of how conceited he is in terms of "market value", but because of his attitude towards this matter!

It has been less than 5 years since Yao Ming's contract expired in 2006. I don't know why in recent years. Maybe it is because of the Internet and the increasingly developed transportation. People feel that the pace of life has become faster and time has passed by. Faster, it feels like what happened 5 years ago is right in front of you.

At that time, Yao Ming received invitations from superstars such as James, Kobe, Garnett, and Duncan. James could partner with Big Z. Needless to say, Kobe was the best outside player to partner with super centers; Garnett and Duncan were both regarded as An inside line that can perfectly fit with the super center.

But at that time, Yao Ming was hesitant. He was afraid of affecting his image and did not dare to mention other teams during interviews.

At that time, almost all public opinion in the United States believed that Yao Ming would leave, because the Rockets enjoyed Yao Ming's rookie bonus in those years. However, except for Tracy McGrady, whose salary exceeded 10 million, only Maurice Taylor's salary exceeded 6 million US dollars. , most of them are players with two to three million US dollars or even basic salary. Alexander's stinginess makes non-Yao Ming fans feel that Yao Ming will not stay.

And if Yao Ming wants to leave, the Rockets can't stop him. They can only choose to sign first and then trade, retaining a sign of "Yao Ming's home team" to continue to make money in the Chinese market.

Otherwise, if they fall out with Yao Ming, even if they force other teams to bid, they will not be able to retain the Chinese market. It was Yao Ming who gave them the opportunity to make money, not the honor they gave Yao Ming. Yao Ming was ranked among the top two in the league at the time regardless of his strength. center.

But Yao Ming finally endured it! And he didn't ask for a maximum salary, and completed the 4+1 contract extension at a price lower than the maximum salary of more than one million US dollars.

Those things are all in the past now. What fans are hotly discussing is not that Yao Ming stayed with the Rockets for four more years, but that Sun Ce and Yao Ming have completely different attitudes towards contract renewal.

Sun Ce showed his confidence very directly. He did not feel that the "Chinese market" was a burden at all. Instead, he talked about it without hesitation, feeling that he should enjoy the benefits brought by the Chinese market.

As for Sun Ce's confidence, fans not only don't think there's anything wrong with him, but they think it should be this way.

Fans are happy to see this kind of more confident player. With this kind of confidence, they can make better choices. Compared with Alexander, who is like Grandet, Yao Ming did not go to the Lakers, Cavaliers, or Timberwolves back then.

Their boss is willing to spend money, and it will definitely be no worse than in the Rockets.

Needless to say, the Lakers have been big spenders throughout their history.

As for the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers had the opportunity to pardon Larry Hughes and provide Yao Ming with a starting salary of more than 13 million, which was higher than the Rockets' starting salary for renewing Yao Ming's contract. The Cavaliers boss has always said They were willing to spend money, but they couldn't attract superstars. In the end, the Cavaliers could only use the money to introduce Ben Wallace, and Ben Wallace's annual salary was as high as 15.5 million U.S. dollars at the time. Later, the money became The 20 million contract of the elderly O'Neal can prove that the Cavaliers really worked hard when they pursued Yao Ming.

The Timberwolves are not stingy either. Garnett has been offered a 100 million yuan contract after just two years of playing. In order to find help for Garnett, they even took risks and agreed with Joe Smith to sign a three-year minimum salary to trigger the Bird Rights and then sign a big deal. contract to make up for the salary reduction in the three-year base salary, and worked out a 6-year contract with an average annual salary of 8 million. In the end, the official found out and fined the first round for 5 years. Although it was stupid, he was really willing to spend money, but the space was You can't even spend money if you block it.

Even if the Spurs are a bit stingy, the Spurs have a good lineup and the troika is supporting them. With Yao Ming, it is really possible to defend the championship.

In hindsight, no matter which team Yao Ming goes to, he will be better than being injured every year in the Rockets. Those teams are better than the Rockets without Yao Ming.

But Yao Ming regarded the Chinese market as a burden and pressure, which made him waste the golden four years of his career.

And now it has been proved that no matter where Yao Ming goes, the market value of that team will skyrocket. As long as Yao Ming's new team has a good record, who will watch the Rockets?

But Sun Ce is different. He felt that it was right to use the Chinese market to increase his bargaining chips from the beginning, and felt that he should use the Chinese market to bring himself benefits.

There is nothing wrong with this, but it makes it easier for Sun Ce to make a choice more calmly.

For example, this interview, fans have watched it many times and found that Sun Ce did not say anything about where to go except pretending.

Sun Ce and Yao Ming are unwilling to talk about the next contract before the contract renewal is reached, and do not want to talk about where to go, but the difference in attitude gives people a completely different feeling.

Moreover, when Sun Ce said this, it left an impression on people-he, the little overlord, is not a man who will be bound by the market, and the decision he makes will not change because of others!

...

There are a thousand Hamlets in the minds of a thousand people, and Sun Ce's words give everyone different views.

In addition to feeling Sun Ce's confidence and freedom of thought, different people have different understandings of Sun Ce's words.

The Grizzlies management feels that there is a greater chance of keeping Sun Ce, because Sun Ce's words reveal one thing - big cities are not necessarily what Sun Ce pursues.

This is very important to the Grizzlies management. Sun Ce spends 3 million US dollars to buy a house in Memphis, which does not mean anything, but Sun Ce does not care whether the city is prosperous or not, and does not care whether the basketball market is good or not, so the probability of them keeping Sun Ce becomes greater.

Chris Wallace and Robert Pera feel that living happily is the key to Sun Ce's words.

How can you be happy?

The team's attention and performance are definitely the key!

…

…

"Noah, you did a good job in this interview. I think you are going to make history." Bill Duffy said to Sun Ce.

"Thank you," Sun Ce smiled and said, "I hope they can succeed, otherwise I will be very distressed. According to the Arenas clause, even if I change teams, other teams seem to only give me middle class."

No benefits are delivered to the door voluntarily.

The Grizzlies treated Sun Ce well. At first, it was the talent and strength that Sun Ce showed, and then the market value that Sun Ce brought after he played well, which made the Grizzlies pay more and more attention to him.

Sun Ce had thought about this a long time ago. If the media asked about this, he would guide the conversation in this direction, not talking about the specifics of the next contract, but showing this attitude.

He was waiting.

When Robert Pera approached the media to promote the change of the rookie renewal terms, Sun Ce was waiting. This matter must be delayed until the new version of the labor-management agreement is reached, so he can't be impatient.

He knew that there would definitely be new rookie renewal terms, because there was a Rose clause in the original time and space, but he was not sure whether it would include a second-round pick like him who only signed a two-year rookie contract, so he didn't even talk about it with Bill Duffy.

But according to the news that Sun Ce saw, it was confirmed that the Grizzlies, Cavaliers, and Warriors, three teams that have produced superstar second-round picks in recent years, were pushing this matter, and Sun Ce became more and more confident.

After chatting with Bill Duffy for a while and having dinner together, at 5:30 pm, Sun Ce returned to the training ground and warmed up with his teammates to prepare for the game with the Lakers. The game with the Lakers is coming soon!

…

At 7:40, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together.

When Sun Ce, as the second-in-command of the visiting team, entered the court first, there was some applause at the scene.

The interview released by Sports Illustrated this afternoon made Sun Ce a fan.

Sports Illustrated was also helpless, but Sun Ce's answer this time was really nothing to say. They were originally going to cause some trouble for Sun Ce, but they were all shocked by Sun Ce's answer. There was no reason to continue to black him, so they just blew it up. It's a matter of increasing traffic, mutual benefit, why not do it.

In the Lakers player channel, Kobe looked at Sun Ce who came out. Because of the news in the afternoon, he appreciated Sun Ce more. Of course, he simply appreciated Sun Ce's game attitude and confidence off the court. As for other aspects... he still felt that the kid on the opposite side was very annoying.

After the players of the two teams came out, there was another wave of cordial care.

Sun Ce and Kobe came to the technical desk, stood up under the guidance of the cameraman, and took a group photo.

Kobe secretly stood on tiptoe while taking the photo, with his arm on Sun Ce's shoulder.

Kobe didn't want to lose out in anything, such as having a son, he had to have a son.

After the final preparation before the game, before waiting to go on the court, Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the opposing players.

"Kobe Bryant, 33 years old, ability evaluation S+, offense S+, defense S-..."

After the All-Star Weekend, Kobe's average playing time increased by 4 minutes compared to before the All-Star Weekend, from 32 minutes per game to 36 minutes, the overall performance was improved, and the ability evaluation was also improved to S+ level!

However, Sun Ce could still see from the ability evaluation that Kobe was okay on the offensive end, but his defensive end declined. Even if the playing time increased, the defensive evaluation dropped from S level last season to S- level, and compared to before the All-Star Weekend, Kobe's various defensive evaluations had declined to a certain extent.

It is foreseeable that Kobe's defense will decline further next season. It's not that he can't do it, but he needs to maintain offense when his physical strength declines, and the energy and physical strength invested in the defense will definitely decrease.

Time is cruel. Even if the basketball god Jordan said that Kobe is still the strongest player in his mind at the age of 35, he can't stop the passage of time.

However, even if Kobe is 35 years old in two years, he almost won the scoring title, and his offensive efficiency reached the highest in his career when he gave up defense. Now he is 33 years old...

Thinking of Kobe's crazy 20 points and 3 assists in the last quarter the night before, Sun Ce looked at the president and Tony and mourned for them for a few seconds.

The Zen Master suppressed Kobe for most of the season. In the first 51 games of the All-Star Weekend, Kobe only had one game with a playing time of more than 40 minutes, and there were only a few games with a playing time of more than 35 minutes. Now it's the sprint stage of the playoff ranking, and the Zen Master let Kobe out!

Just when Sun Ce was feeling sad about the cruelty of time, watching Kobe, who might be dominating on both offense and defense in his last year, need to suppress his playing time for most of the season to ensure his playoff form, the system prompt suddenly came!

"The end of the king is coming, and the prelude to the post-Kobe Bryant era is about to begin. The S-level event "Attack of the Little Overlord" Phase 6 event: the prelude to the end of the dynasty has been triggered."

"The prelude to the end of the dynasty: the sixth phase event of Attack of the Little Overlord.

Goal 1: In this game against the Lakers, the host's score in this game must be higher than Kobe Bryant.

Goal 2: In this game against the Lakers, the host's highest score in a single quarter must be higher than Kobe Bryant.

Goal 3: The host's team must have a record advantage against the Lakers in the regular season.

Event rewards: 1. Complete goals 1 and 2 and reward Kobe Bryant's Peak Star Experience Card.

2. Complete goal 3 and reward mysterious fragments*2.

Note: If goal 3 is completed this season, this stage of the event will receive an S-level score, and goals 1 and 2 will determine the scoring details; if it is completed in the 11-12 season, the score will be reduced to A-level, and so on."

Kobe Peak Star Experience Card?

02-03 season? Or the two years of 06 and 07? Or the two years of 08 and 09? Or 12-13?

These phased events are coming, and Sun Ce is naturally very happy.

Unlike ordinary events, the failure of phased events is generally only related to the score. Although a phased event with a low score will greatly affect the total score, such as the A-level phased event last season, the score of the one against Evans was too low, which caused a huge impact on the total score, but at least there is no penalty.

And once it is completed, the reward will not be bad.

For example, this time, Kobe's peak star experience card!

You have to fight for it anyway!

And there are two mysterious fragments! Sun Ce already has 8 mysterious fragments, and the redeemable rewards will be refreshed on the 1st of each month. Before the All-Star Weekend, if there are not enough mysterious fragments to redeem, you can redeem props for 5 mysterious fragments in March, or use 5 mysterious fragments to draw, but he is reluctant to do so. He has been waiting for 10 mysterious fragments to redeem the "designated skill upgrade card".

More fight!

But... after calming down, Sun Ce is in pain.

Seeing Kobe's 20 points in a single quarter the day before yesterday, or facing the Mavericks and scoring 20 points in the final quarter... What can I use to fight?

There is not even any physical potion tonight!

It is true that the Grizzlies coaching staff and players are working hard to prepare for this game, but they are not in the mentality of not winning or dying. Instead, they want to go all out to see how strong the Lakers are after the All-Star Weekend.

Understanding the Lakers' strength and preparing for the playoffs is more important than winning the game.

But now it is Sun Ce's turn. If he doesn't win... he feels so bad!

Sun Ce opened the props section and took a look. There are only three star experience cards, Kobe's star experience card this season, the star experience card of the former Little Overlord, and the peak star experience card of a random player in the 2011 Rookie Game.

Stoudemire's star experience card...

Stoudemire has never had a good time playing against Odom. Most of the time, he was beaten. In the 06-07 season, when Stoudemire's playoff performance was at its peak, he and Odom exploded against each other.

11 Rookie Game Random Player Peak Star Experience Card... This, if you are lucky, it will be very cool to draw Curry and Harden.

But if you are unlucky... Wesley Johnson's peak star experience card, the picture is too beautiful for Sun Ce to imagine.

Then... there is only that left...

"Kobe Bryant 2010-2011 version of the star experience card, ability rating S+..."

"Huh?"

When Sun Ce saw Kobe's star experience card, he exclaimed. He remembered that when he first got this card, it was S-level!

"If the star experience card is not used and it is the star experience card of the star in the current season, will it change with the player's ability?

If you get a star experience card of a player in the future now, if his career trajectory changes in this time and space, causing changes in growth, will the star experience card also change?

No, I used Xiao Dengdeng's star experience card, and it seems that there is no change...

Or are they saying that their star experience cards will not be updated until the current season? Depend on! If the rookie card is used to draw Evans to his peak, wouldn't it be his rookie year? But he has already played well now. No, then the peak will be this year? But he should become stronger in the future, right? Players with 20+5+5 in their rookie season will become monsters from the second grade onwards as long as the team keeps their brains out and trains them normally, such as Big O, Boss Joe, Tu Zhan, 077...

What a loss! "

Sun Ce thought about it wildly, but couldn't figure it out. After all, if you don't know something, you don't know it, and there's no point in guessing. When the time came to 7:58, the referee signaled the two teams to start.

When Sun Ce was about to apply magnesium powder, another system prompt came.

"Andrew Bynum, the strongest center in the Mesozoic era, has begun to fulfill his talent, and his inside dominance is undoubtedly evident. Fans are increasingly debating about the host as the new generation's inside ruler and the strength of Andrew Bynum's inside dominance. B Level temporary event: Basket dominance triggered.”

"Basket dominance (B): The prelude to the host's dominance in the paint as a little bully has slowly begun.

Goal 1: In this game against the Lakers, the hosts need to limit Andrew Bynum's offensive rebounds to less than 3 times.

Goal 2: In this game against the Lakers, the host's rebound total needs to be equal to Andrew Bynum.

Goal 3: In this game against the Lakers, the host must complete at least 1 block on Andrew Bynum. If the host is blocked by Andrew Bynum, the goal is changed to the host must return double the amount to Andrew Bynum. Num's blocks, and the total number of blocks must be at least one more than Andrew Bynum's.

Event reward: Andrew Bynum 2010-2011 version of the star experience card.

Failure penalty: 1 prop worn by the host will be deducted at random. "

"..."

Sun Ce was stunned when he saw the new incident...

A few seconds later, Yi Jianlian, Sun Ce's family, some Mavericks players who had not returned to Dallas, and Yao Ming on the coaching staff heard a burst of swearing...

"Hold the sun... Ma Mai Phi..."

…

…

Amid the incomprehensible and weird looks in his teammates' and opponents' eyes, Sun Ce stood on the side of the midline, tightened his hand straps, pulled on his arm guards, and then took a deep breath. He could not let these things affect his mood in the game.

Breaking down can only be a failure. No matter how devastating things happen, you have to calm down.

Sun Ce seemed to be suddenly learning. One minute he was thinking that staged events were better than temporary events without punishment, and then a temporary event happened.

Forget about temporary incidents, it doesn't matter if there is a punishment, just work hard and complete it. Who would have thought that a time related to Bynum would come, this is a center!

"I am a weak and helpless little point guard, relying on the system to struggle to be on the verge of a first-class star. How easy is it to have to face off against a third center?"

Sun Ce looked at Bynum standing with Battier in the middle circle with a bit of resentment. Bynum's anus tightened when he saw him...Does this second-year guy have any quirks?

The game is about to start, and the commentators from the Imperial TV and . The team is too involved for a 21-year-old second-year player.

At 8 o'clock, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air.

Battier failed to win the jump ball this time. Bynum pushed the ball backwards and the Lakers attacked first.

After Bynum won the jump ball, he immediately sprinted forward, pushed past Battier and rushed into the paint. After receiving the ball, Kobe saw Bynum push past Battier and made a decisive choice to lob the ball to the opposite side. At the free throw line, Bynum just caught the ball when he reached the free throw line.

Gasol had just retreated to a position close to the reasonable collision zone. When he saw Bynum receiving the ball, he immediately stopped and tried hard to rush towards the free throw line. Bynum had a mid-range shot! And it’s pretty good! He is known as the third center in the league. It's not that other centers are not good, but that he is really good!

But Bynum paused after receiving the ball, swatted the ball with his left hand, and broke through from the left, showing extraordinary flexibility. The nickname "Little Shark" is not for nothing!

Gasol's momentum when he pounced was already too old, and he couldn't change his direction anymore. After all, he was not a physical center.

Bynum patted the ball, grabbed it with his right hand, took two steps and was about to make a throw. When he saw Sun Ce, he rushed up from the right side of the three-second zone like crazy. He was not afraid of being hit to death. Out of fear of Sun Ce, Worried about blocking the shot, Bynum switched the ball to his left hand and shot...

Bynum has good flexibility, and at 125 kilograms he can still have B-level speed. He is as talented as Randolph, but pulling the rod is not his job.

Bynum missed a layup!

Sun Ce pounced forward and grabbed the defensive rebound!

Bynum reached out and took out Sun Ce, who didn't stop and dribbled the ball before he stood still. He smacked the ball and bounced it back. Sun Ce quickly hugged the ball when it bounced back. Bynum failed to steal the ball and immediately headed towards the backcourt. Run back.

Bynum still has lingering fears. It's not that he's afraid of hurting Sun Ce. He's a bad guy to begin with, but that he almost got hurt by Sun Ce. What he can't understand the most is that Sun Ce actually fought so hard at the beginning, as if he wasn't afraid of death. look like.

As the saying goes, if you are too aggressive, you will risk your life. Bynum was really frightened by Sun Ce's desperate block this time!
