On February 10th, when the Eastern All-Stars defeated the Western All-Stars 125-118, the 2002 All-Stars were completely over, but after the All-Stars ended, all kinds of things around the All-Stars did not end, and the Philadelphia All-Stars were not over whether it was the All-Star Rookie Game at the beginning or the three-point contest after that, and even the final All-Star Game can be called a legendary or even unprecedented epic performance.

Under such a miracle, it is impossible for the outside world to forget these things anytime soon, especially in the All-Star Game that just ended yesterday, in which all the All-Stars gave their best, all the fans and even all the media and experts saw something very different, and at the same time something worth touting. "This is one of the greatest performances I've ever seen, this game is great, arguably one of the greatest games I've ever seen, Coach Z's set-up in the second half amazed everyone, and at the same time a miracle in basketball history, he is the greatest offensive head coach in NBA history, he can elevate basketball offense to the level of a work of art, watching his game is like admiring a work of art, and this game is a perfect work of art, the East and West players are doing well, but the best is the Chinese, I think you understand who I'm talking about."

On the night after the game, the game's guest commentator, Magic Johnson, spoke to the tens of millions of ABC viewers across the United States without thinking about it in a conversation with any of the millions of ABC viewers across the United States, and the legend's excited expression still surprised a large number of viewers in front of the television.

It can be said that Magic's evaluation of this game was reprinted by almost all the TV media in the United States the next day, and basically all TV media that reported the news of NBA games edited Magic's words into the news.

"As I said a long time ago, the number five tactic is the most perfect one I've ever seen. I knew it would work when it came along, surprised? No. I think you'll be surprised, but I won't, I guessed it would be like this, Carter has performed perfectly? No, I don't think so, Carter still hasn't fully interpreted this tactical system, not only Carter, but also Yao Ming before, it's just that Carter did a better job than Yao Ming, but even so. At most, Carter wielded 80% of the power of this tactic. If you add Jordan's help in this game, then the two of them are only playing 90%, who can play 100% of the energy of this tactic? I don't know about it, but we're trying, my team is practicing this tactic. Alonzo is doing a good job now, but Coach Z didn't use him in the game."

In addition to Magic Johnson, on the second day of the Heat head coach and Zhuang Fei's good friend Pat Riley also praised Zhuang Fei's almost perfect performance in the All-Star Game, but the head coach was still thinking excitedly about the future of his team while being amazed.

"This is a great All-Star, perhaps the greatest All-Star in NBA history, and it's the first All-Star in NBA All-Star history to be an All-Star that belongs to just one person. It can even be said that the glory of this all-star was brought by that guy. In this All-Star we saw the 40+20 god-level performance of the young center Yao Ming in the Rookie Challenge, and we saw the miracle of the Russian rookie Kirilenko's four pairs, whether it is any of these two data in an All-Star rookie game, it can be said that it is a miracle, but these two miracles appear in a game, not only a game, but also in a team. And what is even more amazing is that these two people are also teammates in the club, both belong to the amazing Chinese coach, and there is no doubt that when the whole world is questioning Coach Z sending Anthony Walker in exchange for Yao Ming this summer, the Chinese once again proved his vision and choice, and he also proved that exchanging Eric Williams for Kirilenko is also something to be proud of, and the Chinese coach once again showed everyone that he ' Best Young Player Mentor', of course, this is the first highlight performance of Coach Z's disciple in the All-Star this all-star, but it is definitely not the last, after the rookie challenge staged 40+20 and four doubles at the same time, the next day's three-point contest shocked the world again, Wake Forest University's Szebiak scored a perfect score of 30 points after a total of 25 goals after the three-point contest final, which is almost more miraculous than the two miracles of the rookie challenge, And the first thing the miracle player said when he won the three-point contest was to thank Coach Z, thinking that Mr. Jackson should be jealous and sad, although Szzebiak made Coach Z's name hook with the miracle again, but for Coach Z, the most exciting thing about this All-Star is that the Jedi counterattack in the All-Star Game, he pulled back the game that everyone thought went into garbage time, and he overshadowed the head coach opposite him in front of him, At the same time, he once again made basketball coaches all over the world aware of a new kind of basketball, and he once again opened a window or opened a path for basketball coaches around the world, but this time not on the stage of the Olympic Games, but on the stage of the All-Star Games. ”…,

"So, this is a miracle All-Star, and it is Coach Z who creates this miracle, this is an All-Star that belongs to him alone, and this is also the gift he brings to basketball fans all over the world"

On the second day after the All-Star ended, all kinds of big names were telling the media about the greatness of the game, such as Jordan, Iverson, Carter and even O'Fat and others who were All-Star participants gave a very high evaluation of the All-Star and they also spoke highly of Coach Z in the middle of the whirlpool, but compared with these people, USA Today's special article on the second day once again pushed Zhuang Fei and the All-Star to one, which also made the whole United States boil again. USA Today is one of the most authoritative media outlets in the United States. And now it is the best-selling media in the United States, and it is a benchmark media in every aspect. Especially in basketball, it can be ranked first, which the New York Times, which has recently become a tabloid, cannot be compared.

Therefore, as soon as this review of USA Today came out, it was reprinted by most of the other small and medium-sized media, which also made the topic of All-Star and Zhuang Fei, who should have been the end of the song, become the end of the song again

Now the outside world is very mixed, and it is also crazy, but at this time Zhuang Fei does not have much to do about these things, in fact, after the end of this year's All-Star, the head coach of the Boston Celtics returned to Boston overnight, because there are still many things waiting for him to deal with in the club.

In fact, the most important thing is about the contract extension of the team's small forward James Posey, the 1999 rookie will become a restricted free agent at the end of this season, for Zhuang Fei and the Boston Celtics naturally will not let the all-round warrior become a free agent, so Zhuang Fei ordered the Celtics management to draft a contract some time ago. In fact, the contract for James Posey should not have been so difficult to deal with. After all, Zhuang Fei absolutely needs James Posey, and Posey also desperately wants to stay, so naturally there will be no soap opera-style problems in such a situation.

It's just that the reason why James Posey has been dragged is mainly about the player's positioning in the team, in the NBA, the renewal of a player's rookie contract expires is a reflection of a player's positioning in the team. If the team positions him as a role player, then his contract extension is naturally unlikely to be higher than six million, and if the team is positioning him as a core player, then it must be basically a new contract extension.

It's just that for James Posey, his current position is very vague, if he is still in the Clippers, he will definitely be able to get a new contract, if he refuses to renew his contract with the Celtics and enter the free market this year, there will definitely be a team to give him a new contract, after all, he is an All-Star player and the MVP of the best rookie and rookie challenge, he is now one of the best young players in the league. At least he is now a high-grade player with Szczebiak, and Szczebiak renewed a 5-year 55 million contract with the Lakers this summer, and Szczebiak can also be regarded as a salary reduction and contract renewal this summer, with his value He does not stay with the Lakers, and there are a lot of teams outside that are willing to give him more than 60 million for 5 years, so for James Posey. This salary positioning is difficult to locate, and more importantly, the team's boss Maddie's current contract is 6 years and 70 million, which is the salary grade of a team's second in the NBA, in fact, Maddie was also the team's second in the past, which makes the Celtics' salary grade naturally lower than that of other teams, James Posey's annual salary cannot reach Maddy's level, otherwise the team's salary structure has to be messed up, after all, in many cases, the annual salary represents the status of the player. This makes it even more confusing. So the management of the Boston Celtics is at odds with James Posey's agent team, and it has not been possible to find a balance point and a middle value for a long time. …,

Seeing that the deadline for contract renewal on February 28 is getting closer and closer, Zhuang Fei is also a little worried before participating in the All-Star, if he does not renew his contract in advance, then the initiative will not be in his hands in the summer, and he will not cry to death when a team with indiscriminate price increases appears.

It's just that Zhuang Fei felt relieved that he received a call from Danny Angie on the night of the All-Star end, James Posey's agent agreed to the Celtics' offer, according to the information Zhuang Fei got from Danny Angie was James Posey's order to his agent team, which can be a notch lower than Maddie's salary, it is obvious that the Celtics' all-round warrior is ready to make the biggest sacrifice, and from this point of view, the all-round warrior also does not want himself to finally enter the free market, When a player enters the free market, he can't help himself, and even if he wants to stay with the Celtics, he probably won't be able to stay.

So in the end, the agreement reached between the Boston Celtics and James Posey also made Zhuang Fei blush a little, this 4-year 38 million contract is completely inconsistent with James Posey's current status in terms of both years and annual salary, and the league is willing to give this player a 5-year 60 million contract There are at least five or more teams, with an average five-year contract of 1200 and a four-year contract with an average age of 9.5 million, this estimate is impossible to describe in words.

"I hope I can give James some compensation in other aspects in the future" Finally, in Zhuang Fei's office, Danny Anji also nodded after hearing Zhuang Fei's exclamation.

In fact, Zhuang Fei said that it is not impossible to compensate James Posey, although there is no way to give him money directly, but it is still possible to introduce a few endorsements or other jobs for his economic team, although this all-round player is far worse than Carter in terms of image, but it is not a bump.

"Zhuang, I didn't expect that at this time we would be worried about the team's boss contract being too low" Finally, Danny Anji also smiled helplessly, if Maddie's contract can be a notch higher, then it is impossible for such a thing to happen. It's just that this kind of extravagance is a bit ridiculous no matter how you look at it. So Danny Angie also smiled helplessly when he said this.

"Yes, now is just the beginning" Zhuang Fei also shook his head after listening to Danny Angie's words, now the team is not only experiencing contract problems with James Posey, in addition, O'Neal's contract is only one season left after the end of this season, it can be said that this summer's contract is more difficult than James Posey.

"I hope there will be a solution then" Danny Anji finally nodded, as the deputy general manager of the team's specific affairs manager, he naturally knew what Zhuang Fei was thinking now, but at this time he and Zhuang Fei could only wait. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
