Chapter 1141: The high-spirited Kobe Bryant and the strange second generation of stars!
In the 2013 NBA free market, there was a wave of news about the free market, and now the Seattle SuperSonics, who are back in the center of world sports because of the 180 million super luxury tax, are still in the enclosure.
As if everything had nothing to do with them.
It's not that the Seattle SuperSonics are dodging anything, even if the closed training is not necessary to start so early, the main thing is that the Seattle SuperSonics is indeed a lot.
Yes has just come back and the team has so much to deal with.
It's not just a matter of practicing with the team.
The most annoying thing is not this, but the most annoying thing is the issue of endorsement contracts between Yes and local companies.
Like the Seattle SuperSonics, although Yes withdrew from the NBA for three years, those local companies in Seattle did not terminate their endorsement contracts with Yes.
Joke, Yes didn't want to accept these endorsement contracts in the first place, if it was really terminated because Yes temporarily retired, wouldn't that just give Yes an excuse not to accept endorsements?
These local Seattle supersonic companies not only did not ask Ye Si to shoot advertisements and attend any events, but they have simply given away money for nothing in the past three years to make Ye Si wander around the world.
With Yes and Bezos working together to develop Yes Sports, and with Yese's growing stake in Amazon, he is not short of money, and he doesn't need to accept these endorsements at all.
In fact, except for the endorsement of local companies in Seattle, Ye Si has no other NBA-related endorsements.
Not only are NBA-related endorsements not accepted, but other endorsements are also incomprehensible.
The only endorsement that Yes is interested in right now is his sneaker endorsement with Yes Sports.
But it's clear that he can't push back these endorsement contracts in Seattle.
It's not about money, it's about people.
Why are the Seattle SuperSonics able to be supported from Seattle from top to bottom?
Isn't it because the rise of Yes is not only in the interests of the supersounds, but also in the interests of Seattle as a whole?
Almost all of Seattle is profiting from his rise.
Everyone is now a grasshopper tied to a rope.
Yes can not care about the opinions of other places in the United States, but Seattle is different, he not only needs to show his worth, he also needs to show that Seattle's value is tied to them.
People who eat alone will not be welcomed anywhere.
It's been broken for three years, and so many relationships and favor advertising endorsements need to be dealt with.
This is much more difficult than running in with teammates.
But fortunately, although the people who work with Yes are all local companies in Seattle, do local companies in Seattle and local businesses in Cleveland mean the same thing?
Of course, it doesn't mean the same thing, the local businesses in Seattle are too big and have too many regulations, but there are not so many bullshit things to worry about.
After all these things were done, it just so happened that the contracts for the Seattle SuperSonics and Rondo were finally finalized.
Rondo's low-profile return and admission of mistakes were finally forgiven by other Seattle SuperSonics players.
After all, Rondo really can't get along in the NBA since he did such a terrible thing to Popovich.
If the Seattle SuperSonics didn't want him, he would really be cut off from the world.
Whether it's Tucker or Millsap or Milicic and other Seattle SuperSonics players, it can basically be said that they have grown up with Rondo, accepted national criticism together, and carried guns and criticized together.
Although he was very disgusted with the behavior of Rondo, a two-and-five-boy white-eyed wolf, at the beginning.
But even when he hated Rondo the most, didn't he tell Yes about Rondo's white-eyed wolf?
Similarly, Rondo had so much trouble with the rest of the team at that time, and in the last period, he continued to be squeezed by Tucker and them, and he didn't complain, for fear that Ye Si would see a little clue and mess up the atmosphere of the team's dynasty three.
Whether it's Rondo or the SuperSonics, the other players still have a glimmer of affection for each other.
Even Durant, when he saw someone on the Internet bringing rhythm to Rondo's despicable departure of Yes, didn't he also subtly bring the rhythm to James?
After so many years, everyone has grown up together and been shot together, and the relationship is still very deep.
If Rondo really messes around outside, everyone may really have to retire to release each other's knots.
But Rondo is now mixed into this miserable appearance, since his attitude of admitting mistakes is so good, even the 4-year 4 million contract is lower than the supersonic second-round show contract, and they can't bear to shout and kill Rondo, who is now cornered.
It can be regarded as spending $1 million a year to hire an ace masseur and porter.
As for the evil anger that still exists towards Rondo, there will be an opportunity to vent on this 'Long Fifteen' in the future.
Yes never intervened in the affair between Rondo and the other SuperSonics.
He is well aware that his involvement will only backfire until Rondo is not forgiven by the rest of the superSonics, and the more he supports Rondo, the more resistance the other superSonics players will have towards Rondo.
Rondo's stay and departure are all decided by the other superSonics players.
It can only be said that these supersonic players who once wanted to sweep Rondo out of the universe still can't do the most ruthless hand against Rondo.
After all, it's still loved.
After the Seattle SuperSonics signed Rondo, compared to other supersonic players who were ready to 'kill Rondo', the old Nelson was actually the happiest one.
Rondo's scoring ability is really poor, but in addition to scoring, his other abilities are really strong.
In Spurs, Rondo is a cancer, and no one can control him, but in the supersonic speed, Rondo dares to play cancer?
There is nothing wrong with him playing five small tactics in the team next season, but five small tactics cannot be played in every game, or even five small in a whole game.
How do Cole and Master Romar play Five Little?
The NBA team is too self-healing, there is a group of the best players in the world, no tactic is invincible, and if you use too much, you will be thoroughly studied.
Including the previous dumping system, running and bombing system and so on.
Even the Warriors' five small tactics, wasn't this year's finals finally figured out by the Cavaliers?
Eggs can't fit into one basket, how could old Nelson not know this truth.
The Seattle SuperSonics need a regular lineup, a regular tactical system.
And the current Seattle SuperSonics did not have such a system of players before getting Rondo.
Milicic, Millsap, Gobert, Nick Collisson, Durant, Leonard, Antetokounmpo, Danny Green, Tucker, Perry Jones, Yes, James Harden, Reggie Jackson, Ingles.
Fourteen players, except for Yes and James Harden who started the game, and Reggie Jackson could control the ball off the bench, which was too dangerous.
Reggie Jackson is not a player who can control the tempo.
It's fair to say that the Seattle SuperSonics lineup is in need of a traditional point guard.
And Rondo is undoubtedly a traditional point guard at the historic level, in addition to his scoring ability.
Maybe the Seattle SuperSonics will go well next season and won't need to use Rondo or a traditional point guard for a single game, but when they need to, the Seattle SuperSonics can't do without.
That's the value that Rondo gave to the Seattle SuperSonics in Nelson's opinion Sr.
With a contract of 1 million, there is no player better suited than Rondo to make up for the shortcomings of the supersonics.
Of course, it would be fine if Billups wanted to, but it was clear that he wouldn't.
Seriously, Nelson Sr. still has his own thoughts on the problems facing the Seattle SuperSonics next season.
After all, this offseason, the Warriors, Lakers, Cavaliers and SuperSonics have all exceeded the luxury tax, and all four teams are in a kind of arms race.
And the Cavaliers, Lakers and Warriors all have good reinforcements.
The opponent is too strong, and of course there will be pressure on him as a manager.
In particular, he also needs to fulfill his dreams.
If the pressure is too great and the team's results are not good, there is no way for him to continue to fulfill his dream.
Of course, Nelson Sr. feels that the pressure will be huge next season, and it will be difficult for Antetokounmpo and Gobert.
After Yaes and the rest of the SuperSonics finished working together, Antetokounmpo and Gobert, as well as Whiteside, who had returned from China and signed a two-way contract with the team, were retained to be coached by Nelson Sr. and play in summer league by the way.
And yes is going to take Durant, James Harden and his beloved apprentice Leonard to start the trip to China.
As the face of Yes Sports, Ye Si has not been in the NBA in the past three years, so his signature sneakers are considered to be out of date.
However, his Yes five generations have long been ready, and this time he has come back to fully distribute the goods.
In order to make a good start for Yes's fifth generation, Bessoster deliberately put the starting location in China.
And several of Yes Sports' signed stars have all been dispatched.
On the special plane from the United States to the imperial capital, it is not only Yeses, Durant and James Harden, the three signed stars of Yes Sports, but also ......
"Yes, I envy you so much!"
Kobe Bryant, NBA superstar, in the three years that Yes left, Kobe Bryant used his crazy scoring to attract countless fans around the world, and after Yes left, Kobe became the face of Yes Sports.
Kobe Bryant has not had a contract since he left Adidas because of that incident, and because he has a good relationship with Yes, Yes and Bezos don't care about the black spots on him, so they signed with Yes Sports.
Now it seems that this is one of Bezos' best signings, and in the three years since Yes left the NBA, Kobe Bryant has played a major role in Yes Sports' victory over Nike in basketball.
Kobe Bryant's crazy performance in the past three years has allowed Yes Sports to continue to crush Nike.
Kobe, Durant, Curry, Beasley, Nick Young, James Harden, Roy, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming and Yes's shoes continue to reproduce, which is simply an all-round flowering in China and the United States to crush Nike.
Now Bezos's plan is that when Yes returns, he will completely knock Nike down.
After knocking out Nike, Bezos is ready to enter other sports markets.
This guy's ambition is incredible.
This time, in order to promote Yes's five generations of Yes's China trip, Kobe Bryant, Curry, Beasley, Nick Young, Roy, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming, and All-Stars were dispatched.
In addition, there are other people among these stars, such as Kobe's children, Kobe Bryant attaches great importance to this trip to China, and even his baby son has been brought out.
Kobe's son Michael Bryant, Durant's eldest son Wang Mang Durant, as well as Yao Ming's daughter, Roy's son, Curry's daughter, etc., the whole plane was full of children's noise.
So many children are much more noisy than the two children in his family.
However, every time I see Durant's eldest son, these people next to Yes are full of complaints.
There's no way, this name is simply amazing, how can Lao Tzu give his son such a name.
Especially for Chinese such as Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, Sun Yuelin, Shuhao, and Chen Jianghua, this name, where is this father!
In fact, Durant Jr. is now five years old and looks more and more like Rondo......
The face, the long hands, and the long feet are almost carved out of a mold.
Of course, every time adults see Durant Jr., they look like they want to talk and stop.
But for these little kids on the plane, little Durant is their boss.
Becca's child looks like Rondo, but his personality is not gloomy at all, and he doesn't have the gloomy temperament carved into Rondo's bones at all.
On the contrary, his personality is very similar to that of his godfather, Beasley, and the whole person seems to be a person bathed in holy light.
So it's very popular with children, and it's like a child king.
Of course, it's not just children who like it, in fact, adults also like Durant Jr.
Children of this age can be so sensible, and they can help adults control those bear children together, which has to worry a lot less for adults.
With Durant Jr., adults can be considered to be able to leave the children alone and play their own games.
Of course, when it comes to playing, it's actually listening to Kobe Bryant's bragging.
Yes was a relatively quiet man, and Kobe Bryant was not, in fact, Kobe's laughter echoed throughout the air.
No way, the Lakers' free market this time was too successful.
After suffering a series of blows such as Howard's departure and Nash's retirement, the Lakers can complete the reinforcement and rebuild just in a free market, and become the No. 1 Universe team in the entire league in one fell swoop, which is too strong.
SuperSonics players like Yes and Durant don't matter, but others, even Warriors players such as Yao Ming and Curry, are quite envious.
As soon as Kobe Bryant saw Yes, he said that he was envious of the supersonic being rich, but there was no real envy on his face.
Isn't it very uncomfortable that you can't spend money even if you have money?
It's better to say that it is envy than to be proud.
"Yes, let me tell you, you are too kind-hearted, a good hand of cards played poorly, if you don't choose Leonard in 2010, if you don't choose Antetokounmpo in 2013, what a strong team the Seattle SuperSonics will be, but unfortunately, your choice is too regrettable."
"Also, with such a bloated lineup of supersonics, you don't have any idea at all?"
"Nope."
Yes really didn't have an idea.
"Bryant, do you know what one of my most hated words in the NBA is?"
Well?
Kobe, who was taking food with Yes, was a little curious.
"Business is business, this is the sentence I hate the most, since I have the ability to break this sentence, why do I have to do something I don't like for the sake of the purpose? I did compromise before, but now, I don't need to, and it's not that I can't do it. ”
Ye Si chose the food and left, leaving Bryant with a surprised face.
Hate business is business!
In fact, he also hates everything to be taken into account.
But in the NBA, is there really anyone who can succeed without talking about profit?
The whole world knows that it is a burden, Yes has to carry it, the whole world knows that it is waste, Yes has to choose, for the sake of favor, for warmth, for affection.
It's really respectful and heartbreaking.
But......
Thinking of the current lineup and difficulties of the SuperSonics, Kobe Bryant shook his head with a wry smile.
"I absolutely don't believe that Yes can continue to ascend to the highest throne with such a big burden of supersound, it is so difficult to travel lightly, let alone carry such a heavy burden now?"
And Yes himself has been away for three years, and he hasn't played basketball for three years, okay!
Where can I have the confidence to challenge the courage of 'business is business'!
"Hehe, I was almost frightened by this kid."
Yes's trip to China with Yes Sports All-Stars was a great success.
Yes, Kobe, Curry, Yao Ming, Beasley, Nick Young, Roy, Yi Jianlian, Durant, James Harden......
This bunch of star players are some of the NBA's most popular stars in China.
Whether it was the imperial capital, the demon capital, or the demon capital, Ye Si and them were crowded with people everywhere they went, and the whole world seemed to be shaken.
However, this time in China, the most prominent players are not Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming, but Yes's apprentice Curry.
When it was okay to smash demons, as the champion of the slam dunk contest, Curry wanted to play a dunk when he was playing, running from outside the three-point line to the inside, and he slipped directly to the ground while running.
For a while, the entire Chinese network was full of videos of Curry's slipping and falling during this slam dunk performance.
"Why does Curry keep slipping when he dunks?"
Not fifteen is the second, this question asked on Weibo has even become the hottest topic on the Chinese Internet.
At the same time, after this incident, Curry's sneaker sales in China have become more popular.
It can be seen from Curry that in this era, fans' love for stars is no longer the standard pretending to be cool.
If you don't have a talent for pretending to be handsome and cool, you can also try to develop a comedian route like Curry.
Curry is still uncomfortable with fans seeing him more and more as a comedian.
"Master, I really want to be handsome, not funny!"
"But Uncle Curry is really funny."
Ye Sidu hadn't answered yet, and the eldest son Ye Dong, who was held in Curry's arms, opened his mouth very shamelessly.
This time, Ye Si felt that his eldest son, who spoke very bluntly, was right.
The hilarious talent of this apprentice of his is engraved in his bones.
"Uncle Curry, it's okay, Dad always says he's not a scumbag."
