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

Sun Ce's answer to the question of the expiration of the contract, people feel that it is too awesome!

If I have to describe it in one word, it is - arrogance or conceit.

But this time such a word is not a derogatory term, people think that this is it, and Sun Ce is not wrong at all.

People have seen with their own eyes that in the eight years that the Rockets have Yao Ming, the owner of the Rockets Alexander, has gone from being the poorest owner in the league, whether it is the market value of the team or Alexander's personal wealth, to the sixth team in the league in terms of market value, Alexander's personal assets have also reached the middle of the league in these 8 years, and his other industries have also developed by the Rockets.

It is purely because the Rockets treat Yao Ming as a cash cow and a fool and kill themselves, which has now caused the team's market value to plummet, and even Alexander's industries have also suffered a big decline in the stock market, otherwise Alexander would not have thrown a bunch of money to get Al Jefferson and Billups back from the big contracts to improve the team's strength and attention.

The Grizzlies' attention, team advertising revenue, and market income have all changed qualitatively in less than two years, although it is not as terrible as the changes that Yao Ming brought to the Rockets as a pioneer, but with Sun Ce's MVP-level performance, it has become closer and closer to the changes that Yao Ming brought to the Rockets back then.

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

Since the expiration of Yao Ming's contract in 2006, it has been less than 5 years, and I don't know why over the years, it may be that with the network and the transportation are becoming more and more developed, people feel that the pace of life has become faster, time has passed faster, and it feels that the things of 5 years ago are close at hand.

Yao Ming received offers from superstars such as James, Kobe, Garnett, and Duncan, and James could partner with Big Z; Needless to say, Kobe Bryant is the most likely to partner with a super center on the outside; Garnett and Duncan are both interior players who are seen as a perfect fit for super centers.

But at that time, Yao Ming hesitated, for fear of affecting his image, and did not dare to mention other teams in the interview.

At that time, almost all public opinion on the American side thought that Yao Ming would leave, because the Rockets enjoyed Yao Ming's rookie bonus in those years, but in addition to Maddy's salary of more than 10 million, only Morris Taylor had a salary of more than 6 million US dollars, and most of them were players with two or three million US dollars or even a base salary.

And Yao Ming is leaving, and the Rockets can't stop it, so they can only choose to sign first and then change, and keep a signboard of "Yao Ming's parent team" to continue to make money in the Chinese market.

Otherwise, they fell out with Yao Ming, even if they forced other teams to quote, they couldn't keep the Chinese market, it was Yao Ming who gave them the opportunity to make money, not what honor they gave Yao Ming, and Yao Ming's strength was the top two center in the league at that time.

But Yao Ming actually endured it in the end! And there is no maximum salary, and the renewal of the 4+1 contract is completed when the maximum salary is less than more than one million US dollars.

Now those things are in the past, and what fans are talking about is not the fact that Yao Ming stayed with the Rockets for four more years, but the completely different attitudes of Sun Ce and Yao Ming towards the renewal of the contract.

Sun Ce showed his self-confidence very directly, and did not feel that the "Chinese market" was a burden, but did not shy away from talking about it, and felt that he should enjoy the benefits brought by the Chinese market.

And Sun Ce's self-confidence, fans not only don't think there is anything wrong with him, but feel that it should be like this.

Fans are happy to see this kind of more confident player, with this kind of self-confidence, in order to make better choices, compared to the Grande-like Alexander, Yao Ming was willing to spend money whether he went to the Lakers, the Cavaliers, or the Timberwolves, and their owners were willing to spend money, and they would definitely not be worse than in the Rockets.

Needless to say, the Lakers have spent a lot of money throughout their entire team history.

In terms of the Cavaliers, at that time, the Cavaliers had the opportunity to pardon Larry Hughes, and they could provide Yao Ming with a contract with a starting salary of more than 13 million, which was higher than the starting salary of the Rockets to renew Yao Ming, the Cavaliers owner has always been willing to spend money, but he couldn't attract superstars, and in the end, the Cavaliers could only use this money to bring in Ben Wallace, and Ben Wallace's annual salary was as high as 15.5 million US dollars at the time, and later this money became a 20 million contract for the elderly O'Neal, It can prove that the Cavaliers really worked hard when they pursued Yao Ming back then.

The Timberwolves are not stingy, Garnett just played for two years, and then sent a contract of 100 million yuan, in order to find a helper for Garnett, he did not hesitate to take the risk and Joe Smith agreed to sign a three-year salary to trigger the bird right and then sign a big contract, make up for the three-year salary cut, and make up for a 6-year contract with an average annual salary of 8 million, and finally was officially found out and punished for 5 years in the first round, although it is stupid, but it is indeed willing to spend money, but the space is blocked and the money can't be spent.

Even if it is the Spurs, it is a little bit of a pick, but the Spurs have a good lineup, the troika is on top there, and it is really possible to defend the championship with Yao Ming.

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

But Yao Ming regarded the Chinese market as a burden and a pressure, and let 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 look at the rockets?

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

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

For example, in this interview, fans watched it many times and found that Sun Ce didn't say anything about where he was going except for pretending.

Sun Ce and Yao Ming are reluctant to talk about the next contract before the contract renewal is reached, and they don't want to talk about where to go, but the difference in attitude gives people a completely different feeling.

Moreover, as soon as 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 self-confidence and freedom of thought, different people have different understandings of Sun Ce's words themselves.

On the side of the Grizzlies management, they feel that there is a greater chance to keep 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 spent 3 million US dollars to buy a house in Memphis does not mean anything, but Sun Ce doesn't care whether the city is prosperous or not, and he doesn't care whether the ball market is good or not, and the probability that they will keep Sun Ce has become greater.

Chris Wallace and Robert Pera's feelings about Sun Ce's words are that having a good time is the key.

How can I be happy?

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

……

……

"Noah, you did a great job with this interview, I think you're going to make history." Bill Duffy said to Sun Ce.

"Thank you," Sun Ce smiled: "I hope they can succeed, otherwise I will be very distressed, according to the terms of Arenas, even if I change teams, it seems that other teams can only give me the middle class." ”

Nothing good is sent to the door on your own initiative.

The Grizzlies were good to Sun Ce, at first it was Sun Ce's own talent and strength, 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 has already thought about these words, if the media asks about this, he will guide the content of the dialogue in this direction, not talking about the specific things of the next contract, but releasing such an attitude.

He's waiting.

When Robert Pera approached the media to push for a change in the rookie contract extension clause, Sun Ce was waiting, and the matter must be delayed until a new collective bargaining agreement was reached, so he couldn't rush.

He knew there would definitely be a new rookie extension clause because there was a Rose clause in the original plane, but he wasn't sure if it would include a second-round pick like him who only signed a two-year rookie contract, so he didn't even talk much about Bill Duffy.

But according to the news Sun Ce saw, it was determined 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, and at half past five in the afternoon, Sun Ce returned to the training ground, warmed up with his teammates and prepared for the game, and the game against the Lakers was coming soon!

……

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

When Sun Ce was the first to enter as the second leader of the away team, there was some applause at the scene.

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

Sports Illustrated is also very helpless, but this time Sun Ce's answer really didn't have to say, he was going to add a little trouble to Sun Ce, but Sun Ce's answer they all felt very shocked, there was no reason to continue to be black, just blow a wave and forget it, the matter of increasing traffic is mutually beneficial, why not.

In the Lakers player tunnel, Kobe Bryant looked at Sun Ce who came out, because of the news in the afternoon, he appreciated Sun Ce even more, of course, simply appreciating Sun Ce's attitude to the game and his confidence off the court, what about other aspects...... He still felt that the kid on the other side was very inflated.

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

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

Kobe Bryant secretly stood on tiptoe while taking pictures, and put his arm on Sun Ce's shoulder.

Kobe Bryant doesn't want to fall behind in anything, such as giving birth to a son, he has to give birth to a son.

After the final preparation before the game, before waiting to play, Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the opposite player.

"Kobe Bryant, 33, Rating S+, Offensive S+, Defensive S-......"

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

However, Sun Ce can still see from the ability evaluation that Kobe Bryant's offensive end is good, but the defensive end has declined, even if the playing time has improved, the defensive evaluation has dropped from the S level last season to the S- level, and compared with before the All-Star Weekend, Kobe's defensive evaluations have declined to a certain extent.

It is foreseeable that Kobe Bryant will further decline on the defensive end next season, not because he can't do it, but because he needs to keep attacking when his physical strength declines, and the energy and physical strength invested on the defensive end will definitely decrease.

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

However, even Kobe Bryant, who turned 35 years old two years later, almost won the scoring title, and the offensive efficiency reached a career high when he gave up defense, and he is now 33 years old......

Thinking that Kobe Bryant scored 20 points and 3 assists in the final quarter the night before, Sun Ce looked at the president and Mr. Tony and observed a few seconds of silence for the two.

The Zen master suppressed Kobe Bryant for most of the season, and in the first 51 games of the entire All-Star Weekend, Kobe Bryant only played more than 40 minutes in 1 game, and there were only a handful of games that played more than 35 minutes, and now it is time for the playoff ranking sprint, and the Zen master has released Kobe!

Just when Sun Ce was looking at Kobe, who may be the peak tail who was dominant on both offensive and defensive ends in the last year, needed to rely on suppressing playing time for most of the season to ensure the playoff state, and was sad about the cruelty of the years, the system prompt suddenly came!

"The end of the king is coming, the prologue of the post-Kobe Bryant era is about to begin, and the sixth stage of the S-class event Attack: The prologue of the end of the dynasty has been triggered."

"Prologue to the End of the Dynasty: Attack on the Overlord Phase 6 Event.

Goal 1: In this game against the Lakers, the host needs to score more points in this game than Kobe Bryant.

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

Goal 3: The host team needs to have a record advantage against the Lakers in the regular season.

Event Rewards: 1. Complete Objectives 1 and 2 to reward Kobe Bryant Peak Star Experience Card.

2. Complete Objective 3 to reward Mystery Shard*2.

Note: If Goal 3 is completed during the Season, the event will receive an S Rating, with Objectives 1 and 2 determining the score. Season 11-12 is completed, the rating is lowered to an A grade, and so on. ”

Kobe Bryant's pinnacle star experience card?

02-03 season? Or are they 06 and 07 years? Or 08 and 09 years? Or is it 12-13?

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

Different from ordinary events, the failure of a stage event is generally only related to the score, although a stage event score is too low will greatly affect the total score, such as last season's A-level stage event, the score of Evans is too low, resulting in a huge impact on the total score, but there is no punishment.

And once it's done, the rewards won't be bad.

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

You have to fight no matter what!

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

You have to fight harder!

It's just that...... After calming down, Sun Cedan was in pain.

saw that Kobe Bryant scored 20 points in a single quarter the day before yesterday, or did he score 20 points in the final quarter in the face of the Mavericks...... What to spell?

I don't even have a potion tonight!

It's true that the Grizzlies coaching staff and players are working hard to prepare for this game, but it's not about the mentality of dying if you don't win, it's about trying to go all out and see how strong the Lakers really are after All-Star Weekend.

Understanding the strength of the Lakers and preparing for the playoffs is more important than winning games.

But now it's time for Sun Ce to come here, and he won't win...... I feel like a loss!

Sun Ce opened the props section and looked at it, there were three star experience cards, Kobe Bryant's star experience card this season, the star experience card of the former Xiaobawang, and the random player peak star experience card of the 2011 rookie game.

Stoudemire's Star Experience Card......

Stoudemire didn't have a good time playing Odom, most of the time he was beaten, and Stoudemire's playoff performance was at its peak in the 06-07 season, and Odom exploded against each other.

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

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

So...... That's all there is left......

"Kobe Bryant 2010-2011 Edition Star Experience Card, Ability Evaluation S+......"

"Huh?"

When Sun Ce saw Kobe's star experience card, he let out a shocking sound, he remembered that when he first got this card, it was S-level!

"If the Star Experience Card is not used and is the Star Experience Card of the current season of the star, will it change as the player's ability changes?

If you get a player's future star experience card now, if the change in his career trajectory in this time and space leads to a change in growth, the star experience card will also change?

No, I've used the star experience card of Little Dengden, and it doesn't seem to have changed......

Or do they want their star experience cards to be updated in the current season? Depend on! If you use a rookie card to draw Evans to the top, wouldn't it be a rookie year? But he's playing it out now, isn't it, so the pinnacle has become this year? But he should be stronger in the future, right? The 20+5+5 players in the rookie season are cultivated normally as long as the team's brains don't get into, and they are all monsters from the second year, Big O, Boss Joe, Convex Zhan, 077......

What a loss! ”

Sun Ce thought about it for a while, and he couldn't figure it out, after all, what he didn't know was not knowing, and it was useless to guess, and at 7:58, the referee signaled that the two teams were starting out.

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

"Andrew Bynum, the strongest center in the Mesozoic Era, has begun to cash in on his talent, and his interior dominance is on full display, and the debate among fans about the strength of Andrew Bynum's interior dominance as the host of the new generation of interior rulers is increasing, and the B-level temporary event: basketball hegemony is triggered."

"Basketball hegemony (B): The prelude to the host's domination of the inside line as a small overlord has slowly begun.

Goal 1: In this game against the Lakers, the host needs to limit Andrew Bynum's offensive rebounds to 3.

Goal 2: In this game against the Lakers, the host rebounding total needs to be the same as Andrew Bynum.

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

Event Reward: Andrew Bynum 2010-2011 Star Experience Card.

Failure penalty: 1 item worn by the host will be randomly deducted. ”

“……”

Sun Ce looked at the new incident and was dumbfounded......

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

"Hold the sun...... ...... Wheat Phi"

……

……

With the inexplicable and strange eyes of his teammates and opponents, Sun Ce stood on the side of the midline, tightened his hand strap, pulled his arm guard, and then took a deep breath, not letting these things affect the mood of the game.

Collapse can only be failure, no matter how devastating things happen, you have to settle down.

Sun Ce seemed to have a sudden look on his face, he was still thinking a minute ago that a phased event was better than a temporary event, there was no punishment, and a temporary event came immediately.

Even if it's a temporary event, it doesn't matter if there is a punishment, just work hard to complete it, who would have thought that there would be a time related to Bynum, this girl is a center!

"I'm a weak and helpless little point guard, struggling to be on the edge of a quasi-first-class star by relying on the system, is it easy, I have to play against the third center?"

Sun Ce looked at Bynum who was standing with Battier in the middle circle with a little resentment, and saw Bynum's chrysanthemum tight...... Shouldn't there be any quirks in this sophomore?

The game is about to start, and the court is about to start. T's commentator is hotly discussing what choice Sun Ce will have next season, his tone is too tight, he can endure it for so long not to talk about contract renewal, but he doesn't have too much to do with other teams, which is like a 21-year-old sophomore player.

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

Battier couldn't win the jump ball this time, Bynum flicked the ball to the back, and the Lakers attacked first.

After Bynum won the jump ball, he immediately sprinted forward, pushed Battier all the way into the inside, Kobe Bryant, who received the ball, saw Bynum push Battier away, and made a decisive choice, hoisting the ball to the opposite free throw line, Bynum just received the ball when he reached the free throw line.

Gasol Jr. had just retreated to a position close to the reasonable collision zone, and when he saw Bynum receiving the ball, he immediately stopped and tried to pounce on the free throw line, and Bynum had a mid-range shot! And it's pretty good! is known as the third center in the league, it's really not that other centers can't do it, but he is really strong!

But Bynum paused when he received the ball, slapped the ball with his left hand, and actually broke through from the left side, showing extraordinary flexibility, and the nickname of the little shark was not given for nothing!

Gasol Jr. has been getting old and can't change direction anymore, after all, he is not a physical center.

Bynum slapped the ball with his right hand and grabbed the ball and took two steps and was about to make a throw, seeing that Sun Ce was crazy and pounced on the right side of the three-second area, not afraid of being hit to death, out of fear of Sun Ce's block, Bynum changed the ball to the left hand lever and shot......

Flexibility Bynum is good, 125kg can still have B speed, and he is the type of talent like Randolph, but the lever is not his job.

Bynum pulls up and misses layup!

Sun Ce pounced just in time to grab the defensive rebound!

Bynum reached out and took out Sun Ce, who didn't stand and dribbled the ball to stand firmly, and Sun Ce quickly held the ball when the ball bounced back, Bynum didn't succeed in stealing, and immediately ran back to the backcourt.

Bynum still has palpitations now, not that he is afraid of hurting Sun Ce, he is a villain, but he was almost caught by Sun Ce's hat, what he can't understand the most is that Sun Ce actually fought so hard at the beginning, and he looked like he was not afraid of death.

As the saying goes, if you are afraid of death, Bynum was really scared by Sun Ce's lifeless cover this time!
