(Thank you Xiaowei Weiya for the 1500 rewards, thanks for the rewards of sunrise, east, west, and Zhongtian hanging sword!)
In fact, David Stern didn't say anything substantive to McGrady.

Congratulations to McGrady, I hope he will work harder in the future and continue to carry forward the spirit of competition.

But McGrady still grasped a message keenly.

Stern feels that the combat effectiveness of the Eagles is still very strong.This is an expression of recognition of the strength of the Eagles, and it is also a hesitation about the ownership of the No. [-] pick.

McGrady responded immediately, "A strong team depends on the chemical reaction of the entire team. It is not because he is strong that he will be suppressed. For example, Atlanta has always had a poor market. If there are a few people with strong appeal It's a good thing for the city and for the league as a whole."

Everyone doesn't make it clear, but the hints are understandable.

Stern pondered for a while, "Of course, from the perspective of business development, this is a good thing. Well, I will seriously consider it."

It looked like he didn't say anything, but he was actually researching the ownership of the No. [-] lottery.Stern didn't know why he was talking about this topic with McGrady. He didn't expect McGrady to answer such words.

Since he can understand, he should follow the rules.The alliance needs a market, and it needs to open up the Huaxia market, so they will fully cooperate.

"Business is business. In any case, there is nothing wrong with doing things according to the contract." McGrady repeated it earnestly, with a sincere attitude and a calm expression.

The Eagles' recruitment of Battelle has already begun to leverage the Huaxia market. If another better player joins, they will become the home team of Huaxia fans. At that time, are you still worried that the NBA will not be able to increase its influence?

After McGrady left, Stern reflected on his conversation with Chambers and McGrady.Before that, he had a discussion with Chambers on "how to open the Chinese market".

What Chambers brought was simple and straightforward. Huaxia players became the mainstay of the team and naturally attracted countless fans.The Eagles are already ahead, and they even communicated with the China National Basketball Association.

If the Basketball Association can be persuaded to let Yao Ming go, it will be the best of both worlds.

McGrady's idea, since the league wants to arrange the ownership of the No. [-] pick more reasonably, it is better to give Mosaic directly. The Eagles have already traded to Mosaic for the first round pick, and it is an unprotected pick.

Even if it is the No. [-] pick, it must be handed over to the Eagles.This is what McGrady said, business is business, work according to the contract.

The two of them didn't say anything, but they had already said everything they wanted to say.The way smart people communicate is very comfortable and does not violate the rules.

Hilton quietly contacted McGrady and went to Philadelphia to watch the All-Star Game. She had a tight itinerary.McGrady also has a tense schedule, and the two delve into their friendship under fire.

In the second half of the night, Arne Trum and Wayne Hall followed McGrady and flew back to Atlanta.After a day's rest tomorrow, the team will start a new journey.

On the plane, several people discussed the recent changes.Arne-Trum met Stern with Chambers before, and he was very impressed. "President Stern's idea is to hope that there is a team that can maximize the development of the Chinese market. He is more looking forward to giving a weak team, But in bigger cities."

Stern was impressed by the Eagles' approach. In contrast, the Mavericks, who also have Chinese players, don't pay much attention to the Chinese market. Even if they want to develop, there is no efficient way.

"I also thanked the president for the good platform provided by the league, allowing us players to have the opportunity to become stars and millionaires. Of course, we also communicated about new market development. These things, the league will arrange, I believe in Stern's vision." McGrady smiled and interrupted the conversation.

David Stern has a long-term vision and knows how powerful he is. He will not do anything that will damage the NBA ecology. After all, this is the top competitive sports league he has spent decades building.

After McGrady talked to Stern, he didn't know what to do.The other party was an old fox, and he didn't reveal any information at all.

Whether the Eagles can successfully get Yao Ming, the No. 2002 pick in the [-] draft, is very critical.For McGrady personally, it represents huge commercial value, countless die-hard fans, and an inexplicably elevated historical status.

"At the end of the regular season, there will be a lottery. I hope that the historical inertia will continue to play a role." McGrady fell asleep in a daze.

In his dream, he saw that the Warriors won the No. [-] pick, and the Eagles only got Mosaic's fourth overall pick and chose Drew Gooden. Then the running-in was not smooth, and the team's record continued to decline.

At this point, Maddie suddenly woke up, already at the airport, in a cold sweat, showing signs of a cold.

"Tomorrow morning, the team has no training. I'm going to take a good rest. I'm a little tired." McGrady rubbed his nose, his throat was a little hoarse.

I don't know if it's because I've been doing it continuously for the past few days, I've ejaculated too much, and my body is a little weak.It is still the fatigue accumulated in the game. During the All-Star period, the spirit is relaxed and suddenly burst out, and people feel particularly tired.

Before the away game against the Kings, Carlisle regrettably announced that McGrady will miss the away game because of the flu.

"McGrady will appear with the team on the away game, but he can't play, and the doctor doesn't allow him to play. He has a severe cold and can easily infect others."

"Then why let McGrady go to the away game?"

"Fans buy tickets to enter the arena, hoping to see their favorite stars. If they can't present wonderful games to the fans on the court, they should also let the fans feel that the players are with everyone on the sidelines." Carlisle explained, of course, This is McGrady's own statement.

Facing the aggressive King, McGrady sat on the sidelines wearing a mask, feeling very helpless.Because he was weak and weak.

Kings Divac, Webber, Peja, Bibby, plus Doug - Christie, starting five Tigers, all scored in double figures.Easily beat the Eagles.

For the Hawks, Rasheed Wallace scored 18 points, Terry scored a team-high 25 points, Billups scored a double-double with 17 points and 10 assists, and Jackson was also very vigorous, scoring 15 points.

The others didn't perform much and struggled a lot. Big Ben was almost slipped away and almost didn't fight Divac.Rasheed Wallace was enraged by them and got a technical foul.

"Without McGrady, the Eagles are just an ordinary team. They can't win at all." The local media of the Kings are very proud. They see through the essence of the Eagles. Only the Eagles where McGrady played are the real Eagles.

"Yes, McGrady failed to make an appearance, and the strength of the Eagles has dropped by more than one level."

Adelman praised the Eagles, "They played very tenaciously and caused us a lot of trouble." In fact, the difference between the two teams was as high as 15 points, and the Kings won very easily.

At the New York headquarters, David Stern watched game clips and reassessed the Hawks' strength.

Assistant Xiao Hua also fanned the flames, "Without McGrady, the Eagles are just an ordinary team, and they can't even make it to the playoffs."

"Well, it seems that I was worrying too much." David Stern will not simply judge, but also observe the performance of the entire Eagles team.

What he is most worried about is that being awarded the No. [-] pick by a top team will affect the balance of the league, dampen the enthusiasm of weak teams, and even refuse to show off.
