Chapter 200 Team Lineup and Season Arrangement
It has been mentioned countless times that the NBA is a commercial league. Since it is a commercial league, it naturally involves value.

Valuable players are naturally wanted by every team, and worthless players are likely to be kicked out by their home team.

Plus the league has a total of 30 teams.

There are only so many spots per team.

Nearly 60 newcomers join the league each year.

Then there are naturally many players who leave the league or retire every year.

But it's still worth it.

Some players retire with honor.

But such players must be some superstars, ... at least former superstars.

There are also some players who have retired quietly.

After all, how many superstars can there be?How many retirements can there be without regret?Then there are naturally many things that are ignored by people.

However, many of them came back again for various reasons.

At least Liu Baoqiang saw a rather unexpected comeback player.

"Less? What's going on here? If I remember correctly, hasn't Horry retired? Why are you still on the screening list? Is he planning to come back?"

Robert Horry?
Should be regarded as a player who is easy to be remembered and easily overlooked, right?
It is easy to be remembered because he often plays a key role at critical times.

Just like the first game between the Rockets and the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals in 1995, Robert Horry hit a jumper with 6.5 seconds left, giving the Rockets a 94-93 win.

In Game 3 of the Finals between the Rockets and the Magic, with only 14 seconds left in the game, Olajuwon passed the ball to Horry in a scrimmage, and Horry made a three-pointer from Harris Grant's strict defense. In the end, the Rockets won 106:103, and finally swept the Magic to help the Rockets win their second consecutive NBA championship.

Another example is the third game of the 2001 NBA Finals. The opponent was the Philadelphia 76ers led by Iverson. The main force of the Lakers, O'Neal, left the field with 6 fouls.Horry scored a hollow three-pointer with 47.1 seconds left, allowing the Lakers to keep the result with a 4-point advantage.And also won the championship with the Lakers that year.

So it can be seen from these aspects.Robert Horry is definitely a player with a big heart.Can play a role at any time.So it is easy to be remembered.

As for why it is easy to be ignored.

That's because except for those years with the Rockets.

Robert Horry basically didn't start much.Almost always played as a role player.And the average data per game in these years is also average.

It's because his average per game has never been in double figures since 96.

The NBA is another place where data speaks.So how can it not be easily ignored?

Of course, no matter how many things are ignored, there is one thing that cannot be ignored.That's the number of championships this guy has won.

Since entering the league in 92, Robert Horry has mainly played for three teams.And these three teams are the Rockets, Lakers and Spurs.

This guy won two championships with the Rockets, three with the Lakers, and one with the Spurs, for a total of 6 championship rings.

Just look at the number of championships.I don't know how many others die with envy.

So it stands to reason that this guy can be considered successful.After being pushed back from the Spurs, it can be regarded as returning home.

But who would have thought that this guy actually chose to come back after retiring for a year?
This of course made Liu Baoqiang feel strange.

After all, this guy is somewhat against him.

A hint is needed here.

The players on Rice's screening list for Liu Baoqiang are basically free agents.And the Nets have also been contacted in advance.

In other words, these players all intend to come to the Nets.But not those that need to be dug.Or a traded player.

After all, in terms of transaction value.The Nets have no cards left.

In addition, most of the reinforcements are some corner players.

So this is the way to find it.

"Hahaha, you are quite surprised, right? I didn't expect this guy to come back after retiring for a year, let alone want to come to our team? But this also shows that this guy is smart enough to know his value. Where, oh, I almost forgot that you had a little holiday before? But you don’t seem to be such a stingy person, do you? Would you not want him because of this? Of course, you are the boss and you have the final say!”

"?????"

Liu Baoqiang is a bit strange?
He was a little surprised why Rice's attitude towards Robert Horry was so "friendly"?
You must know when Liu Baoqiang crippled Bo Wen in the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.This guy is one of the best jumpers.If it wasn't for being blocked at that time.This guy wants to start a fight with Liu Baoqiang.

But now this guy wants to come to Liu Baoqiang's team.And with the relationship between Rice and Liu Baoqiang, this guy actually seems to want to facilitate this matter.If Liu Baoqiang is not surprised by this, then it is.

Of course, Liu Baoqiang is not the kind of small-bellied person.Not to mention that there was no fight at the time, even if it was, Liu Baoqiang didn't necessarily care about it.After all, he wanted to stand up for his teammates at the time, so what's wrong with that, if it was him, he might do the same.

Besides, although Robert Horry is one year older than him.It's already 38 this year.But Liu Baoqiang knew that this guy's current state was not bad.Coupled with a wealth of experience in the playoffs.It's a gem for any team.Since it is said to be a treasure, why does this guy still want to come to the Nets?

"Could it be that this guy has the possibility of foreseeing, thinking that I will definitely win the championship, and wants to add up to 7 championships for himself, and summon the dragon...?"

Of course..., these are just Liu Baoqiang's wild imagination after all.Perhaps Rice also saw Liu Baoqiang's doubts.Then explained.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, this guy wants to come to the Nets to earn more money, and to make plans for his daughter who has a strange disease in the future!"

"??"

I have introduced Robert Horry's ability and status before.

Next, I have to mention his income over the years.This is also the most important reason why he wants to come to the Nets.

Robert Horry's career contract is very similar to Billups now.Of course, there is no way to compare in value.Especially the contract amount at this stage.

Robert Horry was the 92th pick in the first round of 11.

The entire rookie period was with the Rockets.

A total of 4 years and 530 million rookie contracts were obtained.

After this contract ended, he went to the Lakers.

He stayed with the Lakers for a total of 6 years, and the contract amount is 2200 million.

Then went to the Spurs for 4 years.

As we all know, the Spurs are a place where birds don't shit....It is not too much to say that the mountains and rivers are poor.

So it is not surprising that 4 million in 1200 years.

It can be seen from these contract amounts.

That's not a lot of money for a contributing NBA player.If you throw away all kinds of taxes.Robert Horry can be said to earn very little.

Of course, this little is only for NBA players.For ordinary people, it must be enough to squander a lifetime.

It is also for these reasons that Robert Horry failed consecutively with the Spurs.He chose to retire when all the veterans were abolished.

It's a pity that he didn't realize the truth of sitting and eating.

In addition, his eldest daughter, and also his first child, Ashlyn, suffers from a strange genetic disease, which does not even have an official name now.He couldn't even breathe and eat on his own.So the medical expenses needed are quite scary.

Don't look at Robert Horry as a villain on the court.But he was a very gentle father.

After Horry made a key three-pointer in the fifth game of the 2005 Finals, he said in an interview with reporters, "If possible, he would exchange 100 three-pointers for his daughter to call him Dad."

Huo Li doesn't know if his daughter's illness can be cured.Because there is no cure for this disease.

But he didn't realize it until he spent a year with his daughter in treatment wholeheartedly.

Regardless of whether it can be cured or not, he needs to leave enough economic foundation for his daughter.

That's why I chose to come back.

Of course, with Horry's ability and experience, he wants to come back.As mentioned earlier, there must be many teams wanting him.

But then again, he is 38 years old after all.

How much is his ability and experience worth?

Take the Spurs he once served as an example.

When I learned that he had this intention, I found him immediately.

But at most, he is only willing to give a basic salary to a veteran, which is no more than 300 million.And it's only for one year.The other teams are not much different.At most, there is a change in the number of years.Turn one year into two years.But don't think about any changes in the amount.

After all, who would want a veteran over 40 by then.

This makes Horry have to consider his own economic value.

See which team needs him the most, and the price will be higher.

In the end, he set his sights on the Nets.

Needless to say the situation of the Nets.There are not many veterans, but a lot of novices.There is still plenty of cap space.

As for the little grievances between him and Liu Baoqiang...In fact, it was not considered a grievance, after all, I couldn't pinch it.

Plus for the sake of his daughter, would he care about these?Of course not.

This is why Horry wants to come to the Nets.

"Poor parents all over the world! Just give him the middle-class exception, um... sign for two years! He is worth the price!"

As parents, Liu Baoqiang does understand some things.It is precisely because of understanding Liu Baoqiang that he understands the greatness of this family relationship.In addition, I need it myself, so I am willing to give it a convenience.

…………

9 month 28 number.

There is only one month left before the new season.

Various transactions of the Nets have gradually surfaced.It was announced one by one.

In order from least to most important.

First of all, the Nets signed the retired and 46-year-old legendary center Kevin Willis with a veteran's basic salary.

Need to explain, originally the Nets wanted to invite this back as the center coach.

After all, he just retired last year.And he retired at the league's second "longest-lived" age.Not to mention whether you can invite him back, whether you can play or not is another question, so it is definitely not suitable to be a player again.So I want to invite him over to guide those rookie insiders.

But since it is already the second "longevity".In addition, the first longevity is also better than Nate Xiqi, who retired only one year older than him.A player from ancient times.

It's so close, how could people not fight for it.

So another way to put it is that the Nets sign players.A center coach was brought back.

Then came the Nets who used a two-year middle class exception to sign veteran Robert Horry for 970 million.

Of course, this signing did not attract much attention.After all, which team doesn't sign one or two veterans every year.It is not surprising that there was Robert Horry before Kevin Willis.

The first two were two signings, nothing surprising.Naturally, the focus is not too big.

But the subsequent signings attracted a bit more attention.

Because this signing involves an All-Star player.

Chauncey Billups is a free agent.Signed a three-year contract worth 4360 million with the Nets.

Although this contract is not considered a maximum salary, it is already considered a huge contract.

However, the signing of this contract is somewhat confusing.After all, the Nets still have Kidd here.What's the point of getting another All-Star point guard?What makes them even more confused is that the alliance will actually pass the signing of this contract.

If calculated in this way, Kidd, Carter, Liu Baoqiang, Billups.These are all 4 All-Star players.Could it be that the Nets are really rich and have no land to build?It is intended to be used as a substitute for the defender.Are all players at the All-Star level?

But fortunately, a subsequent transaction occurred.It can be regarded as solving the doubts of the outside world.It also shocked the outside world.

That is the Nets sent Jason Kidd and Vincent Carter, Bernard Robinson, and Mel Ilich.

Get Kobe Bryant, Tracy Ariza, a future first-round pick and a 09 second-round pick from the Lakers.

This transaction can be said to be the exchange of ownership between the two main players.The reconstruction was also completed almost at the same time.It is also the biggest deal of the year.Of course, it shocked the outside world.

But so far the Nets' latest lineup can be considered finalized.Its strength should not be underestimated.

And the current lineup of players is.

point guard.Kobe Bryant, Chauncey Beps.

shooting guard.Liu Baoqiang, Mario Chalmers.

small forward.Liu Xiaofeng, Tracy Ariza.Robert Horry.

Power Forward.Ryan Anderson, Serge Ibaka, Carl Landry.

middle peak.JaVale McGee, Ha Seung Jin, Kevin Willis.

13 players in total.

It needs to be mentioned here.

Consider the issue of perimeter defense.and the question of guidance.Just take Robert Horry, who is 2 meters tall, for the time being.Put it on the list of outside players.But the position on the court is not absolutely fixed.There is no need to count this.

But this can be ignored, but there is one that must be considered.

That is the urine problem of the league.

It has been mentioned countless times that the league is trying to create topics to gain attention before the new season.It will definitely create some contradictions.

So the Nets won the bid without a surprise.

The first two games started.All the league's arrangements for the Nets are away games.

And it was the Trail Blazers in Game 1 and the Lakers in Game 2.

This is a plucking that is going to catch a sheep to death...

Both Liu Baoqiang and Kobe expressed their helplessness about this.

But only obedience.

After all, apart from this arrangement, they cannot refute it.

And they also have to face this situation.It's just a matter of time.

As the so-called early death and early escape from life.

Let's see how they played in these two games of returning to their hometown, how many of them were a bit of a betrayal...!
