Chapter 327: The Troubled Giant
Chapter 327: The Troubled Giant
Duncan has basically missed the All-Star Game, Jiang Haoran doesn't know what these fans think, such a veteran who has worked hard in the NBA for 18 years, no one voted for the top?
Jiang Haoran was willing to give his vote to Duncan and make him an All-Star starting center, and he didn't want to see Duncan not be an All-Star at the end of his career. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because in the eyes of super fans like Jiang Haoran, all-stars are not only an ornamental game, but also a symbol of honor.
"It's okay, I'll buy my own tickets to cheer for my little brothers." Duncan waved his hand, for him, who has been selected as an All-Star 15 times, it doesn't matter so much whether he plays the All-Star game or not, although Kobe Bryant, who has been selected as an 18-time All-Star in the league, has been compared to him, but Duncan really doesn't care.
"Train hard, the All-Star has a month left, what's the hurry." After Popovich's words, everyone returned to their positions, what to do......
On January 5, the Spurs challenged the Milwaukee Bucks away, and the Spurs Parker was absent because he thought his right hip was sore (the reality is also this injury, don't say it's the author's nonsense!). )。
However, Simmons played early because Popovich saw that he was really idle, so he added him to the official list.
The Bucks also have two injuries on their list, with Greaves Vasquez sidelined with an ankle injury and Damian Angelis sidelined with an ankle injury.
The biggest pre-game gimmick was not the Spurs' winning streak, but the Bucks' hefty fine for the Bucks' joker was announced before the game, and the Spurs crowd burst into laughter in the locker room at the sight of that number.
Mayo was fined $25,000 by the league for misconduct in his Jan. 3 game against the Timberwolves. With 4:08 left in the first quarter of that game, Mayo was ejected from the game after being dissatisfied with the referee's decision and receiving two technical fouls. After receiving two technical fouls in a row, Mayo still tried to rush to the referee to reason, and after being sent off, Mayo did not leave the court in time...... In response, the league today gave Mayo an additional penalty of $120,000 for misconduct, as an example! Of course, the last four words were added by Jiang Haoran himself.
What makes Jiang Haoran puzzled is that this brother has always wanted to reason with the referee, and he didn't make a move, is he funny? The referee has always bullied the soft and afraid of the hard, if you clench your fist a little, your teammates will come to pull you, and the referee will not re-sentence, no, it is useless to say more, just because he will not leave, 120,000 US dollars will be dedicated to the league.
Then Mayo sleepwalked all over the court in today's game, presumably distressed by the money, as the seasoned Spurs took a double-digit lead in the first half and extended the lead in the second half to win 123-98 on the road.
Leonard got a double-double of 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Jiang Haoran scored 8 points and 8 assists, and completed the task in just 15 minutes.
Because Simmons broke out today, Jiang Haoran took a little more rest, and the ratio of Spurs bench scores to Bucks bench scores was 56 to 23, of which Simmons scored a career-high 18 points, and Simmons' previous career high was 14 points against the 76ers.
The Bucks' starting stats were still good, with Chris Middleton 19 points and 4 assists, Greg Monroe 15 points and 8 rebounds, Michael Carter Williams 16 points and 6 assists, Jabari Parker 14 points and 8 rebounds, and Giannis Antetokounmpo 11 points and 4 rebounds.
However, in front of the Spurs' winning streak, everything has become scum!
Of course, the Spurs are still very friendly, Ginobili and Duncan went to the Bucks' bench to bring condolences to Mayo, and scolded the referee together, so that Mayo They can't hate the Spurs if they want to, and those who don't know think they are on the same team.
Simmons participated in the press conference for the first time, and he was excited for a long time, but he blew Jiang Haoran up, because five of Jiang Haoran's eight assists were passes to Simmons, which means that the 10 points were created by Jiang Haoran for Simmons, otherwise he would not have gotten such a high score.
Jiang Haoran was purely to cultivate Simmons' sense of the game, and he didn't know that Simmons actually blew him into the sky at the press conference in Milwaukee, so he didn't understand it
On January 6, the Spurs' 2.21-meter giant Boban came to train with apprehension, and Jiang Haoran knew what a big day it was after asking him carefully.
For a player like him who has a season-long contract, he may not care much, but for a swing player like Boban, he cares a lot.
On the 6th, teams can start signing ten-day contracts, what does that mean? The team can make the roster more complete, or it can cut some useless players or trade them to other teams that need it.
The trade deadline is in the early morning of February 19th, and that is for free agents, and for players like Boban, who is on probationary contracts, the 11th is the time to know, because on January 11th, all non-guaranteed contracts and partial guaranteed contracts in the NBA will be converted into fully guaranteed contracts until the end of the season, that is, after the 11th, you are a player who is a sure player on the team this season, even if you perform poorly, you don't have to participate at all.
But the playoffs don't count, there is one more chance to lay off and strengthen before the playoffs, March 2 is the playoff qualification cutoff deadline, and after the market opens, players who were cut before this date will not be able to participate in the playoffs in the 15-16 season.
"Boban, don't worry, our squad is very complete, and we won't sign any more players." Jiang Haoran relieved Bobandao, who was extremely nervous, because he might be called to the office by the team owner at any time, and then go home with his backpack.
As for whether there will be newcomers coming to the team, Jiang Haoran himself doesn't know, will Popovich try which player?
Because a 10-day contract is a 10-day (or 3-game day, whichever is greater) contract signed by a free agent to a team. A team can sign up to two 10-day contracts with the same player in a season, which may or may not be consecutive. At the end of two 10-day contracts, if the team wants to keep the player, they must sign him with him at least until the end of the season.
The number of contracts a team has with a 10-day contract cannot be greater than the number of inactive players on that team's roster. However, if a team has 13 players in their active roster, their 10-day contract can be one more than the number of unactivated players. The Spurs now have 13 players on the activation roster with the ability to make this signing.
