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

People feel that Sun Ce’s answer to the question of the expiration of the contract!

One word to describe is - arrogance or conceit.

But this time such a word is not a derogatory term. People think it is just like this, and Sun Ce is right at all.

People saw with their own eyes that in the eight years when the Rockets owned Yao Ming, the Rockets boss Alexander has gone from the poorest boss in the league. Whether from the team's market value or Alexander's personal wealth, he was considered the poorest in the league, and became the team's market value ranking.

The sixth team in the league, Alexander's personal assets have also reached the middle level of the league in the past 8 years. His other industries have also been developed by the Rockets. Compared with the Bass family, which has only the Lakers' industry, Alexander is richer now.

.

It was purely the Rockets who regarded Yao Ming as a money tree and a fool, seeking death. Now it caused the team's market value to plummet, and Alexander's industries also suffered a big decline in the stock market, otherwise Alexander would not have thrown out a lot of money to make Ai.

Er Jefferson and Billups' big contract is back to improve the team's strength and attention.

The Grizzlies' attention in less than two years, the team's advertising revenue and market revenue have all changed qualitatively. Although it is not as terrible as the changes that Yao Ming brought to the Rockets as a pioneer back then, it is still with Sun Ce

He has performed at the MVP level and is getting closer and closer to the changes that Yao Ming brought to the Rockets back then.

However, the biggest sensory impact Sun Ce’s answer this time brought to people is not how arrogant he is in terms of “market value”, but his attitude towards this matter!

It has only been less than five years since Yao Ming’s contract expired in 2006. I don’t know why over the years, but it may be because of the Internet and transportation are becoming more and more developed. People feel that the pace of life has become faster and time has passed.

It feels like something 5 years ago is right in front of you.

Yao Ming received invitations from superstars such as James, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, etc. James can partner with Big Z; Needless to say, Kobe is the outside line who is best at partnering with super centers; Garnett and Duncan are regarded as

An inside line that can perfectly fit the super center.

But at that time, Yao Ming was hesitant, afraid of affecting his image, so he 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 McGrady's salary exceeding 10 million, only Morris Taylor's salary exceeds 6 million US dollars.

Most of them are players with a minimum salary of 20,000 US dollars or even a basic salary. Alexander's stinginess makes fans feel that Yao Ming will not stay.

Moreover, when Yao Ming was about to leave, the Rockets could not stop him, so they could only choose to sign first and then exchange, and retain the signature of "Yao Ming's mother team" to continue to make money in the Chinese market.

Otherwise, if they had a breakup with Yao Ming, even if they forced other teams to quote, they would not be able to retain the Chinese market. It was Yao Ming who gave them the opportunity to make money, not what honor they gave Yao Ming. Yao Ming's strength was the top two in the league at that time.

center.

But Yao Ming finally endured it! And he had not yet asked for a maximum salary, and completed the renewal of his 4+1 contract at a maximum salary of more than US$1 million.

Now those things are things in the past. What fans are hotly discussed is not the fact that Yao Ming stayed with the Rockets for four more years, but the fact that Sun Ce and Yao Ming have completely different attitudes towards renewal.

Sun Ce directly showed his confidence, not thinking that the "Chinese market" is a burden, but talking about it without shyness, 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 is anything wrong with him, but instead think that he should be like this.

Fans are happy to see such more confident players. Only with this confidence can they make better choices. Compared with Alexander, who is like Grandet, Yao Ming went to the Lakers, Cavaliers, Timberwolves, and their boss.

I am willing to spend money, and it will definitely not be worse than being on the Rockets.

Needless to say, the Lakers are a big spender in the entire team history.

For the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers had the opportunity to pardon Larry Hughes at that time and could provide Yao Ming with a starting salary of more than 13 million yuan, which was higher than the Rockets' contract renewal of Yao Ming. The Cavaliers boss has always been

I am willing to spend money, but I can't attract superstars. In the end, the Cavaliers can only use this money to introduce Ben Wallace, and Ben Wallace's annual salary was as high as 15.5 million US dollars at the time, but the money became

The 20 million contract from the elderly O'Neal can prove that the Cavaliers really worked hard when they pursued Yao Ming.

The Timberwolves are not stingy. Garnett just fought for two years and gave him a contract of RMB 100 million. In order to find a helper for Garnett, he also took risks with Joe Smith to sign a three-year salary first and then sign a big one.

The contract, which made up for the three-year salary cut, was created with an average annual salary of 8 million yuan for 6 years. Finally, it was discovered by the official and fined the first round of 5 years. Although it was stupid, it was really willing to spend money, but the space was

It's impossible to spend money if you keep it.

Even if the Spurs are a little stingy, the Spurs have a good lineup and the three-legged carriage is there. With Yao Ming, it is really possible to defend the champion.

Afterwards, no matter which team Yao Ming goes to, he is better than the Rockets injured every year. Those teams are better than the Rockets without Yao Ming.

But Yao Ming regards the Chinese market as a burden and pressure, which makes him waste four golden years of his career in vain.

And now it has proved that no matter where Yao Ming goes, the market value of that team will surge. As long as Yao Ming's new team has a good record, who can't watch the Rockets?

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

There is nothing wrong with this, but it makes Sun Ce more calm in making choices.

For example, in this interview, fans watched it repeatedly and found that Sun Ce had nothing to say about where to go except to show off.

Sun Ce and Yao Ming were neither willing to talk about the next contract before the contract was renewed, nor did they want to talk about where to go, but their attitudes gave people a completely different feeling.

Moreover, when Sun Ce's words came out, he left an impression on people - he is not a man who will be bound by the market, and the decisions 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 bring different opinions to everyone.

In addition to feeling Sun Ce's confidence and freedom in thought, different people have different understandings about 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 Sun Ce’s pursuit.

This is very important to the Grizzlies management. Sun Ce spends more than $3 million to buy a house in Memphis. But Sun Ce doesn't care whether the city is prosperous or not, and whether the market is good or not, the probability of their staying Sun Ce becomes even more

It's big.

Chris Wallace and Robert Pera feel about Sun Ce’s words: having a happy life is the key.

How can I be happy?

The team's attention is 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 terms, even if I change teams, other teams seem to be able to give me a middle class."

There is no benefit that comes to your door.

The Grizzlies are good to Sun Ce. At first, it was Sun Ce's talent and strength shown by himself, and then the market value brought by Sun Ce after he played, which made the Grizzlies pay more and more attention to him.

Sun Ce had long thought about this. If a media asked about this, he would guide the conversation in this direction, not discussing the specific matters of the next contract, but instead expressing such an attitude.

He is waiting.

When Robert Pera asked the media to promote the change of the rookie contract renewal clause, Sun Ce was waiting. This matter must be delayed until the new labor-management agreement was reached, so he couldn't hurry.

He knew there would definitely be a new rookie renewal clause, because there were Rose clauses in time and space, but he was not sure if he would include a second round pick like him who had only signed a rookie contract for two years, so he even Bill

-Duffy hasn't talked about this much.

But based on the news Sun Ce saw, it was confirmed that the Grizzlies, Cavaliers and Warriors, three teams that have produced superstar second-round picks in recent years are pushing this matter, and Sun Ce is becoming more and more confident.

After chatting with Bill Duffy for a while, 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. The game against the Lakers is coming soon!

...

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

When Sun Ce was the first to enter the field as the second in command of the visiting team, some applause actually erupted at the scene.

The interview released by Sports Illustrated this afternoon made Sun Ce attract a wave of fans.

Sports Illustrated was also helpless, but Sun Ce’s answer was really nothing to say. I was originally going to add some trouble to Sun Ce, but they all felt shocked by Sun Ce’s answer. There was no reason to continue to be black. So I just blew it up and increase traffic.

Things are mutually beneficial, why not do it?

In the Lakers player channel, Kobe looked at Sun Ce who walked out. Because of the afternoon news, he admired Sun Ce even more. Of course, he simply admired Sun Ce's attitude towards the game and his confidence outside the court, in other aspects... he still felt that

The boy opposite was very ungrateful.

After the players of the two teams appeared, there was another wave of kind care.

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

Kobe secretly tiptoed while taking pictures, put his arm on Sun Ce's shoulder.

Kobe doesn't want to be at a disadvantage in anything, such as having a son, he has to give birth to a son.

After the final preparations before the game, before waiting to play, Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the opponent's players.

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

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

However, Sun Ce can still see from his ability evaluation that Kobe's offensive end is not bad, but his defensive end has declined. Even if his playing time increases, his defensive evaluation has also been reduced from S-level to S-level last season, and compared with the All-Star Weekend

Previously, Kobe's various defensive evaluations have declined to a certain extent.

It can be foreseen that Kobe will decline further on the defensive end next season. It is not that he cannot do it, but that he needs to maintain offense when his physical strength is declining. The energy and physical strength invested on the defensive end will definitely be reduced.

Time is cruel. Even if the God of Basketball Jordan says that Kobe is still the strongest player in his mind at the age of 35, he cannot stop the passage of time.

However, even Kobe, who was 35 years old in two years, almost won the scoring champion, and his offensive efficiency reached the highest career-class performance when he gave up defense. He is now 33 years old...

Thinking of Kobe's crazy 20 points and 3 assists the night before yesterday, Sun Ce looked at the president and Tony and observed a few seconds of silence for the two.

Zen Master suppressed Kobe for most of the season. In the first 51 games of the All-Star Weekend, Kobe only played for more than 40 minutes, and there were only a handful of games with more than 35 minutes. Now it is the sprint stage of the playoffs rankings. Zen Master
