Chapter 306 History-making 33 consecutive victories and a foregone departure
The entire new season to January is the happiest season for Rockets fans.

Because under the leadership of the Big Three, with the full help of other role players, and with the cooperation of all Rockets staff, the Rockets have achieved a record of 33 victories in one go from the opening game to the present this season. The 33-game winning streak created by the Lakers in the ancient dynasty, and also created the league's longest winning streak in the opening season in one fell swoop. You must know that the Lakers in ancient times had basketball emperor Chamberlain, LOGO male Jerry West and stump Gale Goodrich’s miracle was achieved by the cooperation of the three ancient gods. At that time, basketball confrontation was fierce, the rules were not perfect, and there was no so-called referee factor, so scoring, statistics and winning streaks were easier to obtain than now. This era is different. A team's victory depends not only on the strength of the team and the state of the players, but also on a series of objective factors such as the schedule and referees.

If the alliance favors you, then you can have a smooth sailing, but if the alliance wants to step on you, then no matter how awesome you are, you will have many difficulties. Now people with a little common sense will not believe that the alliance will start a new round of god-making plan. Because this is not the 90s, the lack of attention of the NBA needs a myth to increase the attention of others to the NBA, but now the NBA has become internationalized, and creating a strong team like a bull at this time is undoubtedly shooting yourself in the foot , No one likes to watch the Rockets dominate the league. If there is no fierce confrontation element, how many fans will the NBA lose?Even if the Totoro's influence is greater and the Rockets' appeal is stronger, they cannot be worth the sum of the 29 teams and stars in other leagues.

But even though the league obstructed each other, the Rockets still relied on their own strength to win 33 consecutive victories. Even though the referees obstructed in every possible way, as the Rockets got better and better, there are still only a handful of teams in the league that can support the Rockets for three quarters. countable
David Stern doesn't know how much he regrets why he didn't forcibly stop the deal between the Rockets and the Hornets. Of course, in fact, he also got in the way. It's just that the Rockets and the Hornets are two teams with their own bosses. There are really very few things that can be done, so this epic transaction turned out to be a success, and the pattern of the league has completely changed.

But the good thing is, I don’t know where the rumors came from. Totoro has decided not to renew his contract with the Rockets after his rookie contract expires. Instead, he will switch to a weak team in the East to rebuild his career. This can be seen from the fact that Koster, a Russian rich girl who is rumored to have an affair with Totoro, won the last round of bidding for the sale of the Nets team.

The NBA originally did not allow active players to obtain the management rights of a team in any form, even if they asked relatives and friends to buy it on their behalf. The relationship between the various girls is also a gossip that the media has caught wind of. Secondly, if Totoro is in the Rockets, it will really hurt the alliance too much.

Originally, there was Yao Ming who had no solutions in the first three quarters, and Paul, the league's No. [-] PG in his prime, and finally the unstoppable Totoro. The three giants of the human race are all old men who add up to over a hundred years old, but the Rockets' Big Three are all in their prime years. If they don't disintegrate themselves, the league may have to modify the NBA rules for the Rockets, or promote other players in the league. The mode of forming a giant team can make the league competitive again.

But now Totoro is leaving on his own. For the acquisition of the team by Totoro’s girlfriend, NBA executives just turned a blind eye. They still hope that the Rockets will disintegrate by themselves, otherwise your family will win the championship every year. , Then let others play happily?

The top executives and fans of the Rockets have also heard the news. Recently, including the head coach Adelman, the top executives of the new Rockets boss Wanda, and the players have all talked to Totoro in the name of continuing to eat, and Totoro has not hidden anything from them. , Drag out all the real plans in my heart.

The Rockets' team and the boss suddenly realized that they had no position to persuade Chinchilla to give up their ideals.

In terms of kindness, although Adelman is kind to Totoro, it is obvious that the coach and the Rockets owe more to Totoro. Before Totoro came, the Rockets fell in the first round of the playoffs every year. From the season after leading the Mavericks 2-0 and then being overturned 4-2 by the Mavericks, the Rockets seemed to have been born by bad luck, but the Totoro, who only held $100 million a year, led the Rockets to win the first prize in 14 years. For the third championship in team history, Totoro obviously paid more than the Rockets.

Speaking of money, does a player of Totoro's level still care about the dead salary given by the team?His main income has long been changed from basketball income to commercial activities, and now Totoro has opened many chain companies with its own brand. If he doesn't have any assets, can he buy the Brooklyn Nets?Totoro’s biggest competitor, Russian local tycoon Mikhail Prokhorov’s first round offer was only 1.5 million U.S. dollars, but Totoro directly offered a sky-high price of 5 million U.S. dollars to scare this 2 meter, not a professional Athletes who love basketball, Totoro almost directly acquired 06% of the Nets’ 100% stake and 85% of the home arena’s Space Center at a rapid pace, so Totoro is not short of money. The advantage of the time traveler makes him almost invest All projects are paid back with thousands of times of violence. The simplest example is the e-sports industry. Although Totoro said that the original intention is not to make money, as long as the skin is released and there are some restrictions, he can still make money Is it easy to make money?
Besides, honor is what Totoro is fighting for now. He has taken all the things that other players have struggled for all their lives in just three years as a rookie, and he can spend the rest of his career in decades. It's not like some star players wait until they are old and have to fight for their first championship ring.

Finally, the contract. The Rockets regret that they signed a fully guaranteed contract with Totoro. Naturally, there are no so-called team options and player options. After the contract expires, Totoro will go or not. Staying is entirely up to his own will, and the Rockets can't even match the offers offered by other teams. This is also something that makes the Rockets' executives grey.
