Chapter 281 A Six-on-Two Victory
Vin Baker still has a 5-year 5600 million contract, because his contract makes it impossible for the Sonics to strengthen. He is not as good as Kemp.

His salary this season is $1125 million, and his stats are 14.1 points. This guy's level is the rhythm of Wang Xiaoer's New Year's Eve. Because he got such a parallel import, Wally Walker, who has worked in the Supersonics for many years, directly stepped down from the position of general manager, and Rick Sander succeeded in taking the position.

In the past few years since Rick Sander took over, the Supersonics have always been in the playoffs, but that's all. Apart from this, the Supersonics really don't have a big prospect. The rise of the Lakers and Spurs has made it impossible for teams in other western divisions to make their debut.

The Supersonics this season are still the same as other Northwest teams. It is enough to make the playoffs, and other things are not extravagant.For the few teams in the Northwest Division, except for the Nuggets, it is not a big problem for the other three teams to enter the playoffs. If the Nuggets want to revive, they should continue to wait.

Payton looked at the halftime scoreboard, especially the comparison between Brand and Vin Baker's data, which made Payton even more angry. Although Kemp was not good off the court, he was definitely his best partner on the court.

Rick Sander is also in the queue to chase Brand. Back then, the Bulls were able to select Pippen, which was an assist for the Sonics. This time, Rick Sander wanted to replicate the myth of Jerry Krause, who fooled Brand to the Sonics.This guy is a very competitive person, and he won't leave if he sees victory.

Rick Sander knocked on the door of Krause's office. Rick Sander had been to this office before, but it was all with Wally Walker. Now Wally Walker has long since disappeared from the league's sight, and he is no longer that little assistant.

"Oh, Rick, it's really a rare visitor. Did you come with the team too? Sit down." The fat man Klaus seemed very enthusiastic. Currently, Klaus is the general manager with the best mood in the league, not one of them.

Rick Sander sat down, an assistant brought him a cup of coffee, and then went down, "I'm here to ask about Elton's deal, Jerry, we are old friends, tell me the bottom line, what is the bargaining chip you set for Elton."

Klaus, a fat man, has long known that Rick Sander will go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. After all, he is not very familiar with him, but his former superior, Wally Walker, has been tricked by Klaus many times.

"Well, at least there must be an All-Star. After all, Elton is an All-Star now, and he is still a starter." Klaus bit the word starter very hard.

Rick Sander's face changed immediately, he stopped talking, and left without finishing his coffee, and Jerry Krause naturally had no intention of staying.

The game in the second half was not affected by this little tidbit. Because the score was leading, the Bulls still played on the bench. Although Crawford was educated by Payton in the first half, his style of play remained the same and did not change.

But Brad Miller, a substitute with an annual salary of 900 million, showed his strength. He actually hit two mid-range shots in a row and also had an assist.

Wen Baker is really bad, whether it is Brad Miller or Elton Brand, if he should not guard, he will not guard, just watch from the sidelines, although his partner Pedra Godrobiak is working hard, he wants to do something for the Sonics, but the Bulls simply ignore this person.

Skier can only watch from the bench, he is an unshakable substitute, unless Rashad Lewis is injured or something, otherwise Skier will not get any chance to start.

But fortunately, Brent Barry gradually found his form. Using his father's powerful scoring genes, he started a runaway state in the third quarter and beat Hoiberg several times in a row. The score was immediately overtaken. At this time, there were 7 minutes left in the third quarter, and Li Lei and the others came back.

After replacing the Bulls with the starting lineup, Li Lei tried his best to put pressure on Payton on both the defensive and offensive ends, while not forgetting to pass the ball to his teammates. The performance of his teammates in this game was unexpectedly good, which may be directly related to the weak defense of the Supersonics. Of course, the more important thing is that Rashad Lewis was completely strangled by Artest.

Payton and Brent Barry are the points that the Sonics can rely on, but it is still difficult for two people to play five people. In the second half, Li Lei opened Kapono's three-pointer, which made the Supersonics' defense even more difficult. McMillan can only use double-teams to delay Li Lei like other coaches, but at this time, Chandler will always run from the inside and cover for Li Lei. Li Lei can shoot or pass at this time. At the end of the third quarter, the lead is still It's a bull.

In the fourth quarter, Payton was still on the field, and he was ready to fight to the end. His spirit is worthy of sympathy, but this does not mean that the Bulls will give up the victory to their opponents.

Crawford came up again in the fourth quarter and played for a few minutes. Although it was unbelievable to be ravaged by Payton, it consumed Gary Payton's physical strength very well, which made the entire Sonic team worse.

After Li Lei came up, every time he attacked and defended, he fought hand-to-hand with Payton, which made the gloves uncomfortable. With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Payton began to cramp, but this did not let God give the victory to the Sonics. In the end, the Bulls won at home and the record came to 29-4. Payton scored 34 points in the game, but it didn’t help. .In addition to him, Brent Barry scored 20 points. These two are the most scored by the Sonics. Vin Baker and Rashard Lewis combined to score 14 points, which is not as high as the average points per game of these two.
