Chapter 113
After a lapse of ten years, Houston won two championships in a row—well, it was two championships in a row, which is indeed exciting news.

But on the other side of the ocean, it is even more lively than Houston.

Basketball fans are like celebrating the new year. Even the news network dedicated 3 minutes to broadcast the news of the Houston Rockets winning the championship this time. Yao Ming was especially mentioned. After all, his statistics in this year's finals are still Quite outstanding. He has a clear advantage against O'Neal. If McGrady hadn't given up a lot of rebounds to get FMVP, his statistics would have been even better.

Being late was also praised.

Regardless of his off-court accomplishments, Late is the poster child for the average guy entering the NBA and succeeding.

Some Chinese fans were late to analyze online, thinking that if a basketball player has a skill, as long as he finds a good position, he may gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

Compared with those black players who fly to the sky and escape at every turn, the lateness is not fast, and the bounce is extremely bad, but the only thing worthy of praise is actually the three-pointer. Even the defensive ability generally recognized by the league is actually in the face of the top superstars. , but also because of the disadvantages in physical fitness.

However, this very detailed analysis was pulled out by many people to "whip the corpse" two days later.

The reason is that the media in the United States suddenly had an unhealthy trend, and they were divided into two camps. On the one hand, they praised the lateness, and on the other hand, they crazily belittled the lateness.

There are more media belittling lateness, and their reasons are very good. They said that lateness has been playing for more than a year, and there is almost no progress at all. Except for the amazing stability of the three-pointer, his ability to hold the ball has not been developed at all. come out.So many media outlets believe that the potential for being late doesn't stop there.

The media that supported Late analyzed Late’s improvement in defensive ability and the growth of off-ball running ability, and he was able to lead the Rockets’ weak bench lineup to compete for the playoffs with Late alone, which is enough to show his strength. .

For a while, the American media circle was like a group of demons dancing wildly, with all kinds of speeches.

The famous "Chi Hei" Pippen said in an interview with ESPN: "Late is seriously overrated. He is not a superstar at all. He is just a system player. The Rockets have Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, which attracts other players. The team's defensive attention, so he can average 32+ points per game in a single season. His high score is completely obtained by the high number of shots. This year's finals game against the Heat, his overall decline in data is evidence. I Think he's only worth a mid-level contract at best, and once he gets injured, I think he'll go downhill pretty quickly."

Pippen's speech was simply mindless and black. Some fans replied under ESPN's official Twitter: "Please, can you stop letting Pippen show his idiots to the world? He actually said that he was seriously high for being late. Estimated? Based on his 1500+ three-point shots and 800+ field goal percentage in the season, isn’t he worth a maximum salary? If I were the owner of a team, I would definitely not hesitate anyway And fans who have watched the finals know that the Heat are very afraid of him. They use the team's best defensive player to mark late arrivals all over the court, and also have other defensive players pay attention to double-teaming at any time. Pippen once had Such treatment?"

TNT, which supports Late, also fought with ESPN. The two sides even invited retired stars and coaches to discuss Late's future historical status and the team he may join.

This year's best coach Avery Johnson said on the show: "I don't understand why there are so many media belittled late. I think even if he just keeps the current state, he can become the top [-] superstars in history. Only Only those who have really played against him on the field will understand how desperate his steady three-pointer will be. Moreover, his style of play has very little physical damage. Even if he suffers an injury, I can guarantee that he will His form will not decline, don't forget his identity off the court."

Magic veteran Grant Hill was also invited to participate in the show, and he took a clear stand on Late's side: "There is no doubt that Late is a great star, his ability is very strong, and the most important thing is that many people I haven’t seen it. Late is actually a very team player. Even if he has a high offensive efficiency, he is also willing to share the ball with his teammates. It is what he likes to do to drive his teammates to devote themselves to the game. I am very happy. I hope to work with such a player.”

Hill is unlucky this year, he is injured again!
He performed well in the Magic last year, averaging 19.7 points per game and shooting more than 50% from the field. Among players who scored close to 20+ points in the league, his efficiency ranked in the top three!
Just when people thought he would return to the top, Hill only played 21 games due to rib and right leg muscle injuries, which disappointed everyone again.

It is precisely because of his excellent form last season that Hill is not very eager for the new drug developed late. After learning that it has not yet been mass-produced, he plans to wait and see.As a result, this year's injury, coupled with McGrady's rapid return to the top after surgery, made Hill finally make up his mind.

It's about his own vital interests, even a gentleman like Grant Hill turned into a dog licker and successfully stood in line to be late here.

Of course, this program is more to attract the attention of basketball fans. After all, if there is no news during the offseason, should everyone go to the Northwest Wind?
You must know that in this year's trading market, there are no shortage of big fish!

In 03, the contracts of the super-platinum generation players collectively expired, and the whereabouts of Wade, Zhan Laohan, Bosh, and Anthony have all become the focus of fans' attention.

But why is being late the most eye-catching one in the media at present?
Because everyone in the circle knows that the super-platinum generation is unlikely to change teams, but it is inevitable to leave Houston late!

According to internal sources, the league has already hinted that Houston must be sent to another team late, and the league will also compensate Houston, such as getting a No. [-] pick when Houston needs it.

There are some things that everyone in the circle knows, but they will never say it to the outside world.

After all, there is still a lot of money to be made in the NBA circle. If this circle is ruined, everyone will be finished.

Bill Duffy was well-informed. As soon as he saw that the media was not in the limelight, he immediately contacted Late, told him not to care about the media's words, and analyzed it to him, saying that it was the teams that wanted to get him who were stirring up trouble. .

Bill Duffy is really a good agent, never gave him any trouble for being late, and helped him deal with a lot of problems.

Regarding Tian Ying's hurtful incident, Bill Duffy used to run around and save a lot of energy for being late. Although he didn't know why John's family suddenly relented, he took some money and said that he would not pursue it, so he gave the matter to the police. Finished, but late always remembers his credit.

Every offseason is the busiest time for agents, especially when there are many big-name players in the player market, agents need to find useful information from the rumors flying all over the sky.

Being late, I didn't want to waste time during the offseason, so I handed over the transfer to Bill Duffy. I waited for Tian Ying to take her to Miami immediately after the summer vacation, and went to train with Wade.

For this reason, the Miami media immediately fell into a climax, because last year they were late in the offseason and did not go to special training, but locked themselves in the laboratory, but this year they trained with Wade exclusively. Could it be that...

Miami fans feel that they are going to faint with happiness. If there is a late addition, will the Heat's championship be far behind?
But being late is because he has no idea of ​​joining Miami at all. It's not that Miami is bad, but because it's different from his expectations.

Miami is a resort city, and the pace of life here is slow, so you can't adapt to being late.

The transaction of a top player involves countless aspects, and it is not easy to negotiate.

Especially late, he still has the Chinese market behind him, and he also has many important inventions for professional athletes, and many teams are coveting him.

The exchange of interests involved is extremely complicated.

Bill Duffy needs a representative to complete the contract extension with the Rockets late, and then he can talk about the transaction, and it depends on the bargaining chips that other teams can offer.

It seems that the entire league now knows that the 76ers want to trade Iverson, but for various reasons, not many teams are interested in Iverson, and even fewer teams can afford the price.

This is why when it comes to the offseason, being late is frantically belittled by the American media-because other teams are lowering the price!
There are many teams interested in Late. Although Late has clearly stated what conditions the team he will transfer to needs, other teams sent offers to the Houston Rockets in the first place.

Among them, the Celtics are very sincere. Except for Paul Pierce, other players on their team can be selected by the Rockets.

But the problem is that the Celtics have not had a good record in the past two years, and there are no exciting stars in the team.Szczerbiak and Ricky Davis are already pretty good.

Ricky Davis is also a well-known idiot. The Cavaliers selected James and planned to train him to become the core of the team.

As a result, Ricky Davis obviously overestimated himself, treated James as an ordinary rookie, and was even unwilling to give him the ball, and was eventually swept out by the team.

Ricky Davis said a famous saying after being traded-"I thought they chose James to assist me".

The operation of the Rockets management this year is incomprehensible, but they are not really stupid. The reason is very complicated. Dare to mess around, Late once said that he is unwilling to go to Boston because their team general manager is Danny Ainge.
