Chapter 405: Knight’s Big Deal and New Main Quest
Man is an existence that is not easily satisfied.
People are also a kind of existence that is easy to satisfy.
Be happy, sometimes it really is that simple.
A simple comparison can make people feel happy.
Since the second half of last season's schedule was frantically released, James never thought that his mood would be so happy so quickly.
According to his plan, no matter how you say it, he has to wait until the new season defeats the supersonic revenge.
But now...
In Cleveland's practice gym, James almost laughed out loud,
Bottom!
And it's at the bottom of the list!
honestly.
He really never dreamed that Yes would still be at the bottom of the power list one day.
Leading such a garbage team to the Western Conference Finals last season.
It is simply a god descending from the earth.
In addition, he was holding the precious second lottery in his hand.
In the new season, everyone thinks that he and the Supersonics should soar into the sky!
But who would have thought that he was leading a team that was weaker than last season!
There is no weakest in history, only weaker?
It's simply poisonous!
Last season, the so-called weakest Sonics in history are no longer the weakest in history.
The weakest team in history now is the current Sonics!
In the 8 preseason games, only a small victory over the Timberwolves and Kings at home.
After 8 games, the Sonics are 2 wins and 6 losses, and the Timberwolves and Kings have 3 wins and 5 losses.
ESPN, TNT and ABC rank the Sonics at the bottom of the West power list, which is quite reasonable.
How can the situation of Yes and Sonics not make people laugh three times?
If it is not for the sake of image,
He felt that he should be happier now.
The days when he was crazily released last season were his darkest days.
That feeling of loneliness and helplessness is heartbreaking and suffocating.
Let go of everything, let go of glory, train desperately, no longer think about the prosperity of the past, and no longer chase the fame and fortune of the past.
He believes that God will not treat those who work hard.
In fact, God does not treat those who work hard!
One summer has passed, and his strength has risen visibly with the naked eye.
One summer passed, and God once again favored him.
The two people who once gave him the most pressure, the Heat where Wade is now have been rebuilt.
The veterans of the Heat retired, traded, left, and now there is only Wade left in the entire team!
In the power rankings of TNT, ESPN and ABC, the Heat are now at the bottom of the Eastern Conference!
As far as the Heat are now, they are not dead or alive, and they can't even think about competing for the championship in four or five years!
Not cursing Dwyane, Dwyane's next champion is nowhere in sight!
And him?
In the past five years, maybe he has won more championships than Wade!
Among the star rookies in the 2003 class, Wade was the first to win the championship.
But in the future, Wade will definitely not be the one with the most championships!
As for who it is... Hehe.
Two major opponents, now Wade can no longer threaten and pressure him.
Yes on the other side is worse than Wade!
Although Wade's Heat is bad, at least the team has no burden.
Wade can also look forward to reemerging with the Heat in four or five years.
But what about Yes and the Sonics?
So much encumbrance!
Yes wants to rise again, or change teams, then change teammates!
If you change teams, you will lose the aura of one person, one city!
Change teammates?
Milicic can be regarded as the most valuable contract of the Supersonics except Yes, but the five-year 60 million contract is not very attractive.
Who knows if Milicic will leave the Sonics and die.
Even if the supersonic trash can really be exchanged for star teammates, although Yes will not lose the aura of one person, one city, but he will lose the fairytale aura of growing up with his teammates!
One person, one city!
Growing Up Fairy Tale!
What an attractive two halos!
When Yes is lost in the end, who is the successor of the two auras?
hehe……
James, who was sitting on a chair next to the training hall, straightened up and leaned back with a smile.
it goes without saying!
However, it seems that it needs to be done.
One person, one city is not a problem.
As for the fairy tale of growing up with teammates...
Does the Cavaliers have any young players worth developing now?
Daniel Gibson, Shannon Brown.
James looked towards the training field.
Seeing Daniel Gibson, James became more and more satisfied.
Seeing Shannon Brown, James frowned more and more.
Um……
Forget Shannon Brown, it's exactly the same as Durant.
Durant's static talent is excellent, but his shooting is terrible.
Shannon Brown has excellent dynamic talent and terrible shooting.
Neither Shannon Brown nor Durant are worth cultivating. Fortunately, Shannon Brown is only the 25th pick in the first round.
If you lose it, you lose it, no regrets.
It's ridiculous that Yes used the second pick to select a player with the 25th overall pick in the first round.
If you want to lose it, you can't lose it!
It's better than Gibson, who made 42% of his three-pointers in his rookie season.
Daniel Gibson is not only good, but also a perfect fit for him.
Isn't Yes training Durant crazily?
Then I will train Gibson like crazy!
I want the whole world to know that I also have the fairy tales of growing up with my teammates!
It is not the patent of Yes to train trash teammates into all-stars!
Although Gibson is not rubbish, he is also a second-round pick, as long as he can bring Gibson into the All-Star.
Then when Yes loses the aura of growth, he is the natural successor of the aura of growth!
Thinking of this, James is looking forward to the start of the new season more and more!
At the same time, I am more and more looking forward to the confrontation with the Supersonics in the new season!
"Christmas Battle!"
This year's Christmas battle is Cavaliers and Supersonics!
The title of one person, one city and the title of growing up with teammates can be taken away from Yes later.
Now!
Let's take back the title of the Chosen One in the Christmas War first!
A player who leads the team outside the playoffs is not eligible to continue to retain the title that belonged to him in the past.
However, in order to win more in this year's Christmas game, he and the Cavaliers still need some preparations.
"LeBron, Bulls and Timberwolves are willing to send Ben Wallace and Delonte West to Cavaliers!"
As James looked forward to the new season, Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry stood beside him excitedly.
Bulls agree to trade Ben Wallace to Cavaliers? !
Delonte West is okay, it won't change much for him and his team on the field.
But Ben Wallace is different!
James slightly suppressed the excitement in his heart.
The Bulls will focus on training Noah next season, giving him and the Cavaliers a chance!
In the competition with Yes, God is on his side!
Ben Wallace!
Shaquille O'Neal!
In the past ten years, the two most dominant insiders on the offensive and defensive ends of the NBA are now his teammates!
This is his biggest bargaining chip to get back the Chosen Son!
New season! New look forward to!
Just as James was excited about assembling the best offensive and defensive players in the NBA over the past decade, in New York, the NBA's headquarters, David Stern was less excited.
"President, Disney and Turner Television Network are still unwilling to accept our offer, saying that it is their final reserve price."
"The final reserve price? Hmph!"
Is Master Si really an idiot?
Want to take advantage of the fire?
Don't even look at what kind of person Uncle Si is!
Think TNT, ABC and ESPN suddenly downgraded the Sonics' strength rating to force me to back down?
David Stern looked disdainful.
But... still very melancholy!
Looking at the pile of newspapers in his hand, David Stern's face was dark.
Durant!
Durant!
It's Durant again!
David Stern dropped the pile of newspapers in his hand.
Now he was going to be bored to death by the names in these papers.
Ever since the Sonics selected Durant with the second overall pick, he's been in a big blues.
Worried about the future of Yes, worried about the future of the NBA, and even more worried about the present of the NBA.
The 2007-2008 season, which is the next season, is the season when the six-year, $4.7 billion broadcast contract between the NBA, Disney and Turner Network expires.
Now both parties intend to continue to cooperate and sign the next broadcast contract.
In fact, the negotiations between the two sides began when this year's playoffs were in progress.
At that time, driven by Yes, the ratings of the playoffs were rising, and the quotations of Disney and Turner Network were also rising.
From the first 8 years of 7.5 billion U.S. dollars, it has risen all the way to the 8-year 10 billion U.S. dollars when the Supersonics reached the Western Conference Finals.
10 billion US dollars in 8 years!
10 billion dollars!
This is a number he never thought of when he kicked NBC, which has cooperated with the NBA for 12 years.
But such a number is still not enough for him to sell the next 8 years of the NBA!
This is the peak eight years of Yes!
This may also be the pinnacle of the 100-year NBA, and the most quintessential eight years!
In 1990, NBC and the NBA signed a 12-year broadcast contract, and the 8 years of Jordan's peak period allowed NBC to make a lot of money.
Eight years later, Jordan retired again, and NBC fell into a loss.
By 2002, the last year of cooperation between NBC and the NBA, NBC lost $200 million a year.
Check out NBC!
Jordan is older than Yes, and both signed for 12 years, not eight years.
Although he kicked NBC for more money at the beginning, it has to be said that NBC is indeed an honest person and would not play tricks like this with him.
You only want eight years of Yes's peak, and you don't want to take the risk of Yes' future?
Yes, add money!
But it is really not easy for these two to pay readily.
If it's the Sonics who break out of the West this year and make it to the Finals, these guys will be more than happy to shell out more money.
David Stern is really sorry.
It doesn't matter if they don't make it to the finals, as long as the new season makes people see the hope that the Sonics will enter the finals soon, these vampires are willing to pay.
Looking at the newspapers he dropped on the table.
David Stern wants to cry right now.
It is said that Yes is taking the most difficult road now, which is true, but David Stern is not taking it easier than Yes.
"President, are we going to procrastinate like this now?"
"Drag!"
David Stern snorted coldly.
Don't think I don't know, Durant is so dark now, and it has nothing to do with you.
Want to use Durant to lower the price?
There are no doors!
The new season is about to start, and I'll let you know that the ratings storm that Yes created in the regular season last season was not a flash in the pan.
"Even if Yes and the Sonics are really at the bottom of the Western Conference in the new season, the NBA's ratings will not drop!"
David Stern's words are very domineering, and the assistant next to him is admiring.
So bold!
"Besides, Yes and the Supersonics are at the bottom, which is even better. As long as Yes doesn't choose Curry as the No. 1 pick next season, it doesn't matter whether he chooses Mayo or Beasley!"
The NBA's preseason game is over, and ESPN, ABC, and TNT lowered the Supersonics' strength in their own power rankings by three places one day before the start of the new NBA season.
Downgraded from twelve to fifteen.
The impact of this incident was enormous.
The entire NBA is undercurrent because of this incident.
Yes, the Garfield Hurricane, the Seattle Miracle, no one in the entire league last season, no one team choked him.
Could it be that in the new season, Yes will become an ATM that everyone bullies?
It's exciting for everyone to beat a player like Yes.
For example, the first opponent of the Sonics in the regular season, the Denver Nuggets.
Anthony, the head player of the Nuggets, expressed his position in an interview long ago.
"Me and Yes are good friends, but I want to kick Yes' ass in the next game!"
"I hope my kick wakes him up!"
With two new teammates Billups and Hamilton, Anthony is confident.
Yes is the most likely to become Jordan in the future.
It is a huge temptation to bully Jordan who has not grown up!
Ye Si didn't care about those outside who said they wanted to teach him a lesson.
What Yeth cares most about these days has always been Durant.
The overwhelming pressure didn't break Durant, which made Yeth very satisfied.
Durant is a very sensitive person, sensitive but not cowardly.
In eight preseason games, he averaged 20 strikes per game.
Cowardly players are afraid that their hands will shake when they make a shot.
It doesn't matter to face the blame and pressure of the whole world, as long as Durant can feel his warmth.
Now Durant is gaining weight step by step and training step by step according to the arrangement of the old coach Nelson.
Gaining weight is not the same as losing weight.
Weight gain needs to be slow because the player has never played at a heavier weight and needs to get used to it.
Weight loss can be fast, because the player has played at this weight before and does not need such a long time to adapt.
accurate!
It's fine to pay attention to that guy all day, just smile!
My mouth is almost laughing!
Rondo always feels very unhappy these days.
The team was scored fifteenth in the West.
Yes only has eyes for that flirtatious-sexy-slut.
I was sprayed by a Durant fan on Twitter last night!
"If it wasn't for Yes, KD wouldn't want to play in the Sonics at all. The most trash player in history has the face not to pass the ball to KD. Isn't he the rookie assist leader? With the support of Yes, KD can be a rookie and win the scoring leader. Believe it or not! You said, besides Yes and KD, what else is there in the rubbish team where you rubbish are? There are only cats and dogs!"
God TM's cats and dogs, we are garbage, why is your Durant not garbage? !
What's even more irritating is that Durant, a flirtatious bitch, actually has diehard fans? !
Who is so blind? !
He was bullied by this blind diehard fan all night last night!
Guide Durant through the last training session before the start of the new season.
Yeth's giant star system was once again in motion.
