On April 30th, the Grizzlies took a day off to rest with their families and enjoy the joy of reaching the second round...... You can even go to the fishing grounds to see if there are any Mavericks players.

After Sun Ce won the Best Rookie trophy yesterday, he excitedly practiced hundreds of lateral jump mid-range shots...... The hit rate is quite poor, and then continue to extend the hook distance of the baseline.

Sun Ce's current mid-distance shooting has a clearer training goal, the free throw line and the running hook in the three-second area within the free throw line, the hook on both sides, has been determined, the middle distance on both wings of the free throw line, and began to practice towards Nowitzki's lateral jump shot, the shooting action practiced is the standard shooting posture practiced before, this posture Sun Ce practiced comfortably, but the basic skills are too poor, the new season began after the rapid progress to the D level last summer, and then because there was too much practice, there was no obvious progress, It wasn't until the hook hand, which was most suitable for Sun Ce's shooting position, appeared, that the mid-range shot began to improve again.

There are a lot of things to practice, but it's right to practice slowly, and your career is still long, so it's right to slowly practice your skills more and more.

Nowitzki is Sun Ce's best role model, he has been playing for 12 years, and he is still in his peak at the age of 32, relying on more and more comprehensive skills.

Last night, he practiced shooting and Nash training until late at night, and today he had a rare lazy sleep, and the nutritionist brought breakfast, and Sun Ce got up and opened the door.

After washing, Sun Ce bit into a slice of whole-wheat bread and looked at the newspaper that the nutritionist brought with him......

"What do I wipe? Bill is stupid, right? Will the Rockets take Da Yao's money to renew Anthony's contract? ”

Sun Ce looked at the gem in surprise, the Rocket Team that had been eliminated was the dominant version.

The headline is "Yao jumped out of contract, and the Rockets are expected to take a salary cut to renew the contract?" The Big Three of the Rocket Test Group? 》

The second piece of news is "Yao's team strongly inclines Yao to reduce his salary and renew his contract to help the team strengthen".

The first headline has a question mark, just like Sun Ce, very confused, but the second news ......

What kind of plane is that strange Yao team going to do?

According to the news, Bill Duffy informed the media that Yao Ming had jumped out of the contract and a new contract was being negotiated.

And it was Bill Duffy who revealed that the Rockets were asking for a pay cut.

Taking the initiative to reveal this kind of thing shows that Bill Duffy is very unhappy with this matter.

But is this really agreeing to a pay cut? Still disagree?

There is no following on this.

Most of the front page is Rockets news.

"The Rockets offered Anthony a five-year contract with a maximum salary, trying to extend it early"

Yao Ming jumped out of the contract alone, and the Rockets asked for a salary cut to form a Big Three; Anthony renews his contract with a maximum salary.

If you look at these two news separately, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, it is impossible to renew Anthony's contract if he does not give him a maximum salary, and some teams are willing to give a maximum salary.

However, Yao Ming was asked to take a salary cut and Anthony was given a salary extension ...... This is bullying honest people!

But the latter two news points are normal.

"The Rockets Sell Backcourt Combination to Clear Salary Space"

"Rockets try to trade All-Star guards with backcourt two-gun guns"

Sun Ce took a closer look at the news, and Rockets general manager Morey revealed that they are ready to keep JR Smith as the sixth man, using Brooks and Kevin Martin as chips to try to fight for star guards in the free market, hoping to get a point guard suitable for Yao Ming and Anthony.

If these two people change air, Yao Ming's salary will be cut by about 3 million US dollars, and such space is enough even if he signs first and then replaces James.

After Sun Ce's slander, he thought about it carefully, Morey's policy was feasible, but it was based on squeezing Yao Ming.

Because Anthony has to renew his contract, Anthony is very popular in the United States and his strength is also top among All-Star players.

If you send away the two guards, Yao Ming takes a salary cut to renew his contract, and Anthony has a long-term contract guarantee, it is really possible to attract All-Stars to join!

Sun Ce flipped through other news and saw the news of the Hornets owner running away, which Sun Ce remembered that after that, the Hornets were peddling Paul, and the Lakers also made a farce with David Stern because of this.

"If only the Rockets could trade Paul ......"

Sun Ce thought of this...... Although I don't think it's possible, because trading Anthony has already hollowed out the Rockets' home.

But Paul + Anthony + Yao Ming suddenly became very suitable!

Yao Ming's current style of play is more and more inclined to be the second leader, and he has partnered with Artest and Anthony for a year each, and Yao Ming's style of play has changed too much.

used to be a low-post offense and mid-range pitcher in his rookie season, but he suddenly gained weight in 04 and became a giant center, and began to lose weight in 08, and played the pinnacle playoff performance of his career in the 08-09 season with a second-in-command style of play, and reached the second round, and continued to lose weight last season, but his efficiency improved......

After all, even if he is 138 kilograms, he is also the largest tonnage player in the NBA except for O'Neal, and the low post is still lethal, and his shooting and footwork have become better because of weight loss.

Yao Ming's mid-range passing and shooting, and falling low post at critical moments, this style of play has proven to work, and has good compatibility with Anthony, giving up the low post to Anthony, and Anthony can also play well.

It's just that Brooks has poor feeding ability and doesn't like to pass, Kevin Martin doesn't have the ability to pass, he can't catch and shoot, he needs to play singles, and the starter will only perform a good game and a bad game, but it is JR Smith, who looks nervous, but he is very positive in passing the ball to Yao Ming or Anthony, because he admires Yao Ming and Anthony's ability, JR Smith has a superstar who can hold him down, and he plays quite well.

Sun Ce thought about it, there are Paul, Anthony, Yao Ming, with a pitcher-type power forward, plus an outside single defense striker, and the middle class is looking for a blue-collar backup center to defend the pick-and-roll during certain periods, and JR-Smith is the sixth man......

"Wait, with such a lineup, why does Yao Ming want to stay in the Rockets and take a salary cut? Will the Rockets spend money to buy role players and pay the luxury tax? And there's no way they can get Paul, right? ”

Thinking of this, Sun Ce suddenly thought of a perfect team, and all the ones he thought of, this team has them!

Sun Ce felt that it was better to call Yao Ming to see what this old brother thought.

Finally, after losing weight in the 2008 Olympic Games, he was healthy for two years, and played more than 70 games in two consecutive years......

He also wants to play the World Championships with Yao Ming and then play the Olympics!

……

……

In Houston, Yao Ming's villa in the Houston Creek Park Education District, Bill Duffy, Yao Ming, and some members of Yao's team are discussing the issue of contract extension.

I don't know what some agents in China think, they actually strongly asked Yao Ming to reduce his salary and renew his contract, which Bill Duffy argued for...... But I can't talk about people!

Bill Duffy doesn't know Chinese!

Those few domestic agents spoke directly to Yao Ming in Chinese, and Bill Duffy did not understand at all.

Yao Ming had a big head, but now his head is even bigger!

When negotiating with Team Rocket yesterday, Yao Ming was so angry that he didn't say a word,

However, Yao Ming was still hesitant to jump out of the contract, and decisively hinted that Bill Duffy would jump out of the contract.

Although he was a little angry, he saw that in the domestic news last night, the domestic media were scolding Team Rocket for squeezing him again, and he felt that it was dawn!

But today, the domestic brokerage team actually made him promise a salary cut!

After leaving the Toyota Center yesterday, Bill Duffy analyzed his current market value to Yao Ming.

Using O'Neill as a reference, Yao Ming has now changed his style of play, and the weight loss is also very effective, and he is only 138 kilograms, which is estimated to have 3 to 4 years of peak play, and his state should be maintained until he is 33 to 34 years old.

So there is every chance to get a 4-5 year contract, and if there is no bird right, the expected starting salary is about 15.6 million US dollars; Youbird Quan is not a contract extension with the Rockets, with 8 years of playing age, and the forecast can reach a starting salary of 17.4 million US dollars; If it is to renew the contract with the Rockets, the maximum salary can be increased by 10% as a starting salary in the 09-10 season, up to 18.13 million US dollars.

But the Rockets tried to get Yao Ming to take a pay cut and renew his contract......

Yao Ming's salary this season is 16.38 million US dollars, and if he cuts his salary, he may not even have the starting salary of changing teams without bird rights!

Yao Ming will be 30 years old in September this year, and this long-term contract will definitely be the last big contract, Yao Ming can bear it again, and he can't bear it!

Another point, Yao Ming knows that most of the domestic agents in Yao's team have some industries in Houston with his fame! It is clear that he is ready to sacrifice his rights and interests to make more money for himself!

Just when Yao Ming couldn't help but get angry, the phone rang.

It just gave Yao Ming an excuse to leave the living room and go to the bathroom.

As soon as Yao Ming left, Bill Duffy immediately gained the upper hand, at this time he said that these people could understand English, and these people said that Chinese he could not understand, he could only speak English......

……

Yao Ming came to the bathroom and connected the phone: "Xiaobawang, congratulations on making it to the second round, doesn't this feel very handsome...... By the way, what's the matter? ”

"Brother Yao, are you going to take a salary cut to renew your contract?" Sun Ce asked.

didn't say it directly, just asked, after all, this is someone else's business, even if it is the same brokerage company, Sun Ce didn't ask Bill Duffy.

And they grizzly bears...... If you can't afford Yao Ming, first of all, there is Gasol Jr., which is estimated to be used for ten years, and it is impossible to give up Gasol Jr. for Yao Ming, who has reached the later stage of his career, and there is not so much space.

Hearing this question, Yao Ming hesitated for a moment and asked, "If it was Xiaobawang and you were asked to take a salary cut, would you agree?" ”

Yao Ming really wanted to know what Sun Ce would do, because no matter how strange things Sun Ce did, the domestic media seemed to think it was right!

Sun Ce on the other end of the phone was stunned when he heard this question: Why did the pot come to my grandson?

Sun Ce thought about it, this old brother helped him so much, no matter what the reason, but he always helped him a lot.

Sun Ce responded: "In fact, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, if I am 30 years old, I will choose to go to the team that can really compete for the championship and respect me!" ”
