Chapter 426: The salary cap has risen sharply and the MVP ranking is at the top

After beating the Bobcats on the road and ending all five Eastern road games, the SuperSonics who left the East with a nine-game winning streak caused a huge shock in the league!

The Seattle SuperSonics, with a nine-game winning streak, third in the league, behind the Suns and Rockets, the two god-like teams that are still on a winning streak, who could believe that before the season began?

Before the start of the season, the superSonics were once ranked first from the bottom of the West!

But now?

Alone in the third place in the West!

Before the start of the season, the Lakers, Grizzlies, Nuggets, Spurs, Mavericks, Jazz, Thunder and other strong teams were unanimously favored by media experts, all ranked below the supersounds!

The SuperSonics' schedule this season is really good, every Western team will have one or several Eastern Xlinker schedules in a season, and the SuperSonics' Eastern Xlinker schedule is the earliest.

In terms of the comparison of the strength of the east and west this season, the eastern x consecutive away team is the western team's victory, and the western x consecutive away is the eastern team's defeat.

With five straight wins in the East, the SuperSonics now have a 10-1 record, can you believe it?

In the most fierce battle in history, the supersonic started with 10 wins and 1 loss, which was enough to detonate all public opinion!

Before the start of the season, because Durant was selected in the Supersonic draft, many coconut fans were prepared not to watch the SuperSonics this season because they didn't want to see Yes being abused too badly.

This has led to a very serious drop in viewership for the new NBA season.

Not to mention that it was cut in half, but at least the overall drop was 20%!

This has also led to an impasse in the NBA league's negotiations with Disney and TNT for broadcast rights.

David Stern is not going to deny that Yes has become the biggest bargaining chip in the NBA's next broadcast contract.

The stronger the Yes, the better the record, and the bigger the NBA's broadcast contract.

He has been rejecting Disney and TNT's $10 billion for 8 years, and now is the time to wait!

Nine wins in a row! Nine wins in a row! Nine wins in a row!

Looking at the news that the front page is now full of Yes and SuperSonics' nine consecutive wins, David Stern is very satisfied.

He knew that the supersonic record was enough to make Disney and TNT excited.

Before the start of the season, in order to reduce the price, Disney's ABC and ยท ESPN and Turner Group's TNT frantically suppressed the supersounds, and it is the weakest team in history to break the record and the fifteenth in the Western power rankings.

What now?

This is the weakest team in history, as you said it yourself!

Yes with what you call the weakest team of all time is now third in the West, third in the league, and in the most intense West in history, there is no problem in making the playoffs.

So what else do you have to worry about?

Worried that yes won't make the playoffs with supersonic speeds will cost you a lot?

Now that you see Yes's ability to lead the team, do you still have such worries?

Even this season's supersonic speed can be brought to the way it is now, and you still have to worry about Yes making the playoffs?

"President, Disney and Turner Group have responded, and they have agreed to an eight-year, $12 billion broadcast contract offer!"

The assistant who rushed in was excited.

And David Stern has a breezy expression.

On the surface, the wind is light, but the heart is still very excited.

$12 billion in 8 years!

Spread over each year, that's $1.5 billion!

The NBA's last broadcast contract was $4.7 billion over six years, or $800 million per year.

$1.5 billion is $700 million more than $800 million!

According to the current collective bargaining agreement, the player's salary is almost 50% of the total income, which means that 350 million of the $700 million will be given to the player every year.

This year's NBA salary cap is almost $56 million, and with this extra $350 million, the NBA's salary cap will reach a minimum of $68 million in the next eight years!

$68 million salary cap!

Thinking of that number, David Stern really wants to laugh out loud right now!

That's really thanks to Yes!

Before Yes came along, he was ready to sign a broadcast contract for less than $1 billion a year in the next few years.

Before Yes appeared, the popularity of the entire league was half-dead by the Spurs and Pistons.

The Spurs and Pistons, this is really pumping the blood of the league.

Business alliances, business alliances, if business alliances are going to die in the end, how can there be any fairness!

There is an old Chinese saying that knows etiquette.

Everyone has been messed up and don't even have to eat, do you still want to expect my uncle to be fair and just?

Uncle Si is indeed a person with a brilliant personality, and he disdains to engage in shady scenes behind his back.

Uncle Si's shady scenes are all done in the open.

And Uncle Si's shady scene is not so dark.

But when the time comes, everyone Joan of Arc will have nothing to eat, and Uncle Si can't guarantee it.

Uncle Si can not do it, but Uncle Si can retire.

The successor in the back, in order to increase his income, will there be no lower limit, then it is not up to Uncle Si to manage.

When the time comes, you really have to blame, just blame the Spurs and Pistons!

No, teams like the Spurs and Pistons have ruined the commercial value of the league, and none of you can get out of it.

If it weren't for your incompetence, the Spurs and Pistons wouldn't have let the Spurs and Pistons squander the league's commercial value like this.

To be reasonable, before Yes appeared, Stern was really ready to retire disheartened.

After he retired, he didn't care if there was a flood behind him, but he did his best anyway.

Well, now, the NBA's warehouse is finally realized because of Yes.

His NBA finally doesn't have to do that kind of deceitful thing for the sake of eating!

If there is really no food to eat, who wants to go to those rotten meals!

So, we all have to thank Yes!

This is truly out of the bottom of my heart!

The Seattle SuperSonics have no end to their road trip after five road trips in the East.

On November 19, 2007, the Seattle SuperSonics came to Memphis.

This is the sixth game played by the SuperSonics in the last eight days.

From the first game of the Eastern Conference road trip against the Pistons, the SuperSonics played three back-to-back games in eight days.

After the game against the Bobcats, the supersonic players flew to Memphis, a thousand kilometers away, dragging their tired bodies that had taken a circle in the East.

When I came to Memphis, except for Yes, all the other superSonics players looked exhausted.

Even for an NBA player, playing six games in eight days is still too tough.

Compared to the recent fatigue of the SuperSonics, the Grizzlies' schedule in the last week has been quite light.

Before the game between the SuperSonics and Grizzlies, the SuperSonics had a 10-1 record and the Grizzlies had a 6-3 record.

The last time the SuperSonics and Grizzlies met, the two teams had the same record of 3 wins and 1 loss, which means that the SuperSonics have played 2 more games than the Grizzlies in the recent period.

Two games may not seem like much, but if you mix it up with a dense schedule, it's not the same.

Six games in eight days and four games in eight days, that's not a level at all.

The Seattle SuperSonics' nine-game winning streak was finally ended by the Grizzlies.

SuperSonics and Grizzlies are similar in strength.

Supersonic speed can't stop the grizzly bear's height, and the grizzly bear can't stop Yes's speed.

In the last game, the SuperSonics defeated the Grizzlies, and it was Yes's speed that suppressed the Grizzlies' high.

And in this game, the Grizzlies still can't stop Ye Si's speed.

But the Grizzlies can block the speed of other supersonic players.

The exhausted supersonic players were completely unable to keep up with Yes's pace in this game.

The SuperSonics played a bit disjointed in this game.

In the end, the SuperSonics lost 108-115 to the Grizzlies on the road.

In this game, Yes's hand value improved slightly, and he scored a triple-double of 32 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists on 10-of-18 shooting in the game.

And Durant, another supersonic 'one of the best stars in the NBA', scored only 28 points on 10-of-30 shooting in this game.

On the other side, the Grizzlies' Oden and Gasol both scored 20+10 in this game, while Carter also scored 20 points.

"Teacher, did you know that the league's salary cap is going to rise sharply next season!"

After the game with the Grizzlies, Oden was excited, but he was excited not about the game, but about the league's new broadcast contracts with Disney and the Turner Group.

Of course, Yes knows about the big rise in the salary cap next season.

The league's salary cap will rise to at least $68 million next season.

That's a good thing for a lot of teams.

Especially for a team like the Grizzlies whose star is new to contract, that means a lot of things.

Gasol's original maximum salary contract plus four years left this year, Carter and the Grizzlies also have four years left on their contracts, and the two men's previous contracts of nearly 30 million a year are not a big burden for the Grizzlies.

Now, with the salary cap rising sharply next season, the 30 million contract of the two is simply not worth mentioning compared to the salary space of at least 68 million.

By the way, plus Mike Miller's 9 million contract for three years, Battier's 6 million contract for four years, Oden's 5 million contract for four years, and the Grizzlies' five starting stars, in the next four years, the total salary is only 50 million US dollars!

In other words, if the Grizzlies get it, they will release the rest of the contract and have up to $18 million to sign a superstar-level star.

That's just too much room to operate.

With Jerry West's operational ability, there is no need to think about it, in the next four years, the Grizzlies will be very strong, and it is likely to be stronger and stronger!

The Grizzlies are the biggest beneficiary of the league's wage cap surge.

How much benefit there is can be seen by looking at the joy that Auden can't hide now.

Relative to the Grizzlies, who have a large number of long-term quality contracts, the SuperSonics have lost half of their losses after the salary cap has skyrocketed.

Milicic's five-year, 60 million contract, which was originally considered a little less worthwhile, has now become a high-quality contract.

But equally, the SuperSonics also need to deal with contract extensions for people like Barria, Tucker, Millsap, etc.

However, as long as these people are still willing to stay with the supersonics, there will be no problems with the renewal of the supersonics.

SuperSonics owner Bill Gates has no plans to put a salary cap on the team.

That is, the luxury tax on supersound, pay it casually, it doesn't matter.

If these players want to, they can keep them all when the time comes.

It's just that after the salary space exploded, there was no way to sign big-name players from the free market.

ended the game with the Grizzlies, and the SuperSonics finally ended this very torturous 6-game streak.

The SuperSonics have a 5-1 record in 6 games, which is a very good record overall.

After losing to the SuperSonics, the SuperSonics have a 10-2 record and are still in third place in the West.

However, after the loss to the Grizzlies, the third place in the supersonic West is not so secure.

With the strength of the Suns and Rockets this season, it seems that the other teams in the West can only compete for the third position.

Now both the Suns and Rockets are on an 11-game winning streak!

The Suns are considered by the league's experts this season to be the ultimate in NBA offense.

Even in the history of the NBA, he was the strongest offensive player.

The Rockets, on the other hand, are considered the ultimate defensive this season.

The Rocket's big and four small, the defense is extremely good, and Yao Ming after losing weight is still not at a loss in the era when the big center lacks O'Neal and is aging, but the help defense is not a little bit stronger.

Plus the assistance of Gerard Wallace, Artest, Maddy, Roy on the outside, as well as defensive players Ariza and Hayes on the bench.

In the game between the Rockets and the Lakers before this season, the Rockets even used a full-court tight defense against the Lakers!

No kidding, the Rockets in the NBA have used full-court pressing against the Lakers with Kidd, Kobe, Turkglou, Randolph and Bynum!

The defensive speed and defensive intensity of the Rockets in that game covered the entire 48 minutes, and in the end, the powerful Lakers were dragged down by the Rockets.

It's not known whether the Rockets' defense is the strongest in history, but the Rockets' defense still looks like it's growing.

November 21, 2007, the day of the supersonic no race.

YES and the supersonic players are now watching the Rockets and Mavericks, the Suns and Kings play.

"The Suns' offense is really terrifying, and they actually scored 47 points in a single quarter!"

"The king, if not that strong, is definitely not that weak!"

"And the score of more than 40 points in a single quarter has nothing to do with defense, the main thing is that the offense is too strong!"

"The Sun's offense has reached another level!"

"This is Nowitzki's first free throw of the game?"

"I don't know, the intensity of this game is too high, Nowitzki's free throws in this game didn't even hit 50%!"

"Devin Harris is still so fast, Roy finally broke through with him, but this is Yao Ming's sixth block of the game, right?"

"30 points, 15 rebounds, 6 blocks, 4 fouls!"

"Strong!"

For a long time, Scott Brooks, the assistant coach of the SuperSonics, uttered a strong word.

Yes also felt that the Rockets' defense was really strong.

The Rockets and Suns defeated their opponents respectively, and their 12-game winning streak is still the best in the world.

After these two games, Ye Si originally thought that his first spot in the new official MVP list would be replaced by Yao Ming or Nash.

Unexpectedly, after the new issue came out, he was still the first.

New York, NBA headquarters, president's office, David Stern is quite satisfied.

That's a thank you.

It's also an encouragement.

Just this time, if you want to really win the cup in the future, it's up to you......
