the great gatsby

Chapter 30 Philadelphia 76ers

While Gatsby was thinking about how to restore his reputation, Eddie Curry began to commit suicide. He gave an interview privately to the outside world, broke the news about the Knicks locker room incident, claimed that D'Antoni cheated for personal gain, and attacked the Knicks management for hiding Dirt, it pushed the Knicks' already unbearable reputation to the bottom.

D'Antoni called Gatsby and said that the team had made a decision and that Eddie Curry would be sent away later. Gatsby was relieved that he won the encounter, and then the Knicks put the conflict on the line. The details and the truth are revealed - Gatsby is the victim.

A crisis passed like this. Although it was Gatsby's own efforts, it was also due to the stupidity of his opponents. If Eddy Curry did not attack the Knicks, James Dolan might think carefully about his many years of credit. But Eddy Curry not only attacked D'Antoni for engaging in favoritism, but also called the management a "stupid management." James Dolan couldn't bear it anymore. This is his most sensitive topic and the one he least wants to be touched on. taboo.

The Knicks faced the challenge of the Philadelphia 76ers in a precarious situation. Since the Philadelphia 76ers sent away Allen Iverson in 06, their results have not been ideal. In the 07-08 season, they ranked seventh in the regular season and entered the playoffs, ranking first. He was eliminated in the first round and entered the playoffs in sixth place in 7-08, but was sent home to fish in the first round. This season, as far as Gatsby knows, the decline will be even more severe and he will fall directly out of the playoffs. Not to mention the team's ranking, it has become the bottom team.

But D'Antoni didn't dare to relax. No matter how the 76ers decline, they are still a team in the playoffs, and the Knicks... it's hard to say!

The game between the two teams is scheduled for October 10st. Gatsby is getting more and more excited as the date gets closer. Not only is the game exciting for Gatsby, but it is also because it is approaching November, and the salary of the NBA will also start. It's been paid out, the money from the advertisement last time has been exhausted long ago, and Long Chunsheng's advertisement on that side has not yet been negotiated, he has already made arrangements for the money that is about to be received:

"Breakthroughs have to be practiced, and it's not enough to just shoot without a breakthrough... Passing also needs to be practiced. The current pass is based on the little experience in the past. The intensity of the NBA is still stronger, and the probability of mistakes is very high...Opportunity The ball also needs to be strengthened. Although it can be barely used now, it is too simple. When it is oppressed, it only has to stick its butt to protect the ball. It is too ugly!... There are more games, but the games are still too expensive... ..."

Calculating one by one, Gatsby found that the money he was about to get was a drop in the bucket, and there was no way to increase it comprehensively. His salary this year was 71.1517 US dollars, which was more given by the Knicks. Players with no experience in the 08-09 season The base salary is $44.2114. The base salary that the Knicks gave Gatsby to a player with one year of experience still depends on his commercial value.

71.1517 US dollars will be issued in 24 copies, on the 1st and 15th of each month, that is to say, he can only get less than 3 US dollars each time. According to the exchange rate in 09, the conversion into RMB is about... 20.7 Ten thousand RMB!

In other words, he waited for half a month, and with this money, he could only practice individual skills or personal training for two hours without eating or drinking!
Gatsby's face collapsed in an instant, he could only practice for 4 hours a month, what a ghost!

This salary is unreliable and can only be relied on advertising fees. I hope Li Wanyu can negotiate the advertising soon. Although the money will not be paid in one go, it will definitely be much more than this.

Feb. 10, Madison Square Garden.

Although the Knicks lost the first regular season game, the enthusiasm of the fans has not diminished - they are used to it, and the enthusiasm of Gatsby's fans will not diminish - what they care about is when Gatsby will go back to make movies .

Therefore, Madison Square Garden is still crowded with fans and fans. If the strength of the team is determined by the number of fans, then the Knicks will definitely be able to enter the top three teams in the league.
-
The Knicks and Lakers are the few teams in the league that can make a lot of money even if their results are poor.

Andre Iguodala was amazed. The Knicks are already at the bottom of the league, but the fans are still so enthusiastic. It deserves to be one of the best big ball markets in the league.

Iguodala was selected by the 2004ers to enter the NBA in 76. The later FMVP followed Allen Iverson to fight in the north and south, and won the name of the little AI. After Iverson left, Iguodala took responsibility. Take the responsibility of leading the Sixers forward.

Although the 76ers have entered the playoffs in the past two years, they were eliminated in the first round. The potential of the 76ers has been exhausted. It is very difficult to go further. Iguodala saw this , But he has no choice. The contract he signed with the 07ers in 76 was a 6-year $8000 million contract, and he won't be able to return to free agency until 2013.

The current starting lineup of the 76ers is actually pretty good. In addition to Iguodala, there are Thaddeus Young, Lu Wei, Elton Brand, Samuel Dalembert, Maris Speights Waiting for a helper, although not strong for the league's top teams, is already a strong opponent for the Knicks.

The game is about to start. The first to enter the field is the Philadelphia 76ers, followed by the Knicks at home. The first to enter the field is David Lee. David Lee is now the top scorer of the Knicks, but his qualifications are not as good as Larry Hughes, so came first to play.

David Lee is popular with New York fans. His offensive skills are very gorgeous. Although he is a left-handed player, he can also shoot with his right hand.

Excellent footwork, flexible ball control, superior vision, excellent passing, is a player with no blind spots in offensive skills.

When David Lee played, the Knicks gave David Lee warm applause, followed by Douglas, Milicic and others, and Gatsby played in the middle. When Gatsby played, Madison Square Garden suddenly burst into a mountain The tsunami-like cheers startled Iguodala and the others. Iguodala looked up at the Knicks, and Gatsby caught his eye. Gatsby stood in the team, although he was not tall enough. He is tall and not strong enough, but standing there is the focus of his sight!

What a handsome young man!Iguodala praised that if a person is handsome to a certain extent, it will put a lot of pressure on him. This Knicks rookie should belong to this type of person. Although he is not facing Gatsby alone, Iguodala Darla no longer dared to look at Gatsby.
