Chapter 223: Thanksgiving

Perhaps it was the scolding in the locker room that had a certain effect, and the Wizards were in excellent form in the following games, winning three games in a row. &*Fastest Update**

Nov. 15 at home against Seattle Sounds. Chauncey in the last sleepwalking. Billups suddenly exploded and put All-Star superstar Gary. Payton had just 11 points and three assists in the game. Larry. Hughes contributed six steals in the game and directly used the defense to knock the sound down on the frame of shame. At halftime, the Wizards led by 19 points at 53:34, and the score became 84-55 at the end of the third quarter, making the entire fourth quarter completely garbage time.

On November 17, at home against the Miami Heat, the game process was almost the same as the previous game, and the Wizards directly smothered the opponent with a stick in the first three quarters. While moving to the Heat's Gianluca in the summer. White tried to show his dominance against his old boss, but I gave him a couple of big hats in a row and told him to stay in the box honestly and pick up rebounds, even though he didn't pick a few in the whole game. Although God Operator Pat. Riley set up his tactics in the third quarter to let the team's iron-blooded power forward Brian Brown. Grant led the team to an 11-4 small **, but soon Larry Brown. Hughes, Richard. Hamilton, Chauncey. Billups made three consecutive fouls on him. Grant could only sit obediently on the bench.

On November 18, in the back-to-back matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, Allen. Iverson and Keith, who was traded from the Nets in the summer. Van Horn caused enough problems for the Wizards, leading by 13 points in the first half, but in the second half I dominated the interior, I gave out 3 blocks and 3 rebounds on the defensive end in the third quarter, and on the offensive end I crushed the 76ers' interior to slag, scoring 11 points in a single quarter and grabbing four rebounds in the frontcourt, making the score quickly reversed, and never gave the 76ers any chance in the fourth quarter.

The Wizards are on a three-game winning streak.

After the game against the 76ers, the Wizards will have four days off before heading to Houston to play the Rockets on November 23. (Baidu search, watch the latest update of this book)

On November 19th, the whole team had a holiday, but I didn't know what to do, so I decided to drive to the stadium to train bored

I changed my clothes and walked to the training hall when I heard the sound of a basketball hitting the ground from the distance.

Who? Who's training?

I pushed the door open and watched in amazement as the basketball rolled on the floor. Hamilton shot one after another from the three-point line in his training jersey, his eyes focused and cold.

"Richard, morning! Why did you remember to train today? I didn't go out with my sister-in-law! "Me and Richard. Hamilton said hello.

Richard. Hamilton ignored me, picked up another basketball from the basketball cart and threw it towards the basket.

The basketball passes through the hoop, and the white net splashes in waves.

Richard. Hamilton looked at the basket, gasping for air, his chest heaving and heaving.

"What's wrong? Richard, what's wrong? "I feel like Richard. Hamilton asked, with a strange expression.

Richard. Hamilton didn't answer, picking up the basketball again and throwing it.

Richard. Hamilton's shot was still as accurate, despite a look of indignation on his face.

Basketball is in! But Richard. Hamilton reached for the basketball on the cart again.

I didn't feel right and grabbed Richard. Hamilton's hand stretched out to the basketball and said:

"What the hell is going on? What happened? I asked urgently, I don't have many friends in this world, although Richard. Hamilton is usually very low-key and not very talkative, but I really think of him as one of my best friends. I'm really worried about him.

Richard. Hamilton glanced at me, then his eyes were still staring at the hoop, he took a deep breath, spit it out again, and said in a helpless voice:

"This is my contract year and I need to renew my contract with the club! Alas! "Just said a word, Richard. Hamilton began to sigh.

"What? Isn't it smooth? I asked.

"Last night, my agent and Michael had a conversation, and they had a big disagreement!" Richard. Hamilton pursed his lips and said.

"How big?" I asked, frowning.

"I've been with the Wizards for three seasons, this is the fourth season, I've been the team's main scorer since the second season, last season I averaged 2o points per game, I think I can get the top salary, at least 7 years to get 7ooo no problem, but Michael is only willing to open a 7-year 560o contract, which is 14oo short!"

I was a little stunned! Although I don't know much about NBA contracts, although I think Richard. Hamilton's personal strength is really good, but I don't really think Richard. Hamilton can be worth 7 years and 7ooo. Any outside player in the NBA who can average more than 1ooo per year is definitely a bigwig-level figure. Hamilton is clearly lacking in some areas and is not up to the level of a multi-million contract. It is not impossible to score an average of 2o points per game and sign a contract of 10 million yuan, but that requires a strong defense, obviously, Richard. Hamilton's defense is poor and there is still a long way to go before the multi-million contract requirement. But Michael. Jordan's 7-year contract of 56oo and an average annual contract of 8oo doesn't seem to be very high.

I didn't know what to say, so I carefully comforted him and asked, "Didn't Michael say anything else?" ”

Richard. Hamilton looked up at me, his eyes seemed to be filled with a helpless look, sighed softly, and said: "Michael said, he said that he needs to prepare a big contract for you, and when your rookie period is over, the Wizards must prepare a big contract for you, otherwise it is impossible to keep you, if you give me a big contract, you will have to pay luxury tax if you sign it again, this is the boss. Pauline resolutely did not allow it! ”

I opened my mouth wide and looked at Richard in surprise. Hamilton, though known Richard. Hamilton couldn't have joked about this kind of thing, but it was a really unpleasant feeling to be shot while lying down.

"Are you telling the truth? It's incredible! With this season, I still have three seasons left to end this contract, so is that too early? I asked, puzzled.

"Nope! Kwame! You're wrong! "Richard. Hamilton retorted to me, and continued: "You signed a 2+2 contract, Michael. Jordan doesn't plan to start the next two years of his contract at all, he plans to talk to you about a contract extension at the end of this year, he plans to renew you at a relatively low price after the end of this year, so that the team doesn't touch the luxury tax, of course, you're still on a max contract, if I'm not mistaken, Michael. Jordan prepares you with a 7-year contract of 850,000 yuan, although this is not the highest in the NBA, but with the team option of not touching the next two years, this contract is very generous. Michael. Jordan is really nice to you! Ay! "Richard. Hamilton sighed and shook his head, as if lamenting his sorrow, lamenting why he hadn't met a noble man who could promote him so much.

"What you say is true? How do you know? I looked at Richard with wide eyes and surprise. Hamilton.

"Because I'm in a contract year this year, I used to go to work with Michael a lot last season. Jordan chatted and tested his tone, didn't you borrow $480,000 from the bank at that time, and you didn't have any extra money to improve your life? At that time Michael. Jordan talked to me about renewing your contract early, and that's what he planned to do at the time, and of course it may change now, alas! "Richard. Hamilton let out another low sigh.

I'm stunned! I was completely stunned! Richard. Hamilton's words sent my brain into a mess. Michael. Jordan was really good to me! Even if it's a pro-Lao Tzu to a pro-son, it's just like that! I suddenly felt a sense of gratitude.
