shooting guard era

Chapter 39 44. The Incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills

"He is the most talented kid I have ever seen, and I am willing to give him all my skills." Jordan said after Ye Han got his first triple-double in his career.

Ye Han pursed his lips when he saw the news, you came to teach me!Throwing me a few videos is so troublesome!

That's what Jordan said to Ye Han back then, he was very optimistic about him, asked him to work hard, and then gave Ye Han the training highlights of his basic movements.

That's right, it's the kind of training tutorial CD that costs seven dollars a piece in a basketball peripheral store.

Although, it does work, because Ye Han has the same level of effort as Kobe and Jordan.

Ye Han's triple-double spread all over the world in an instant when the Internet began to prevail. The winning Clippers were never noticed, but the losing Bobcats became the focus instead.

However, Ye Han hasn't been popular for long, and he hasn't been remembered by more people. There is a "hero", a great man who has successfully attracted attention for him.

Ron Artest!
On November 11, this year's MVP contender, last year's best defensive player Ron Artest led his team away to challenge last year's opponents in the Eastern Conference finals, the Indiana Pacers.

Artest, who played 8 games this season, averaged 25.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, leading the Pacers to an excellent record of 7 wins and 1 loss, and ranked in the MVP list of the first week together with Kobe, Nash, Ye Han and Duncan The top five, the top five in the MVP list with Nash, Kobe, Duncan, and O'Neal in the second week, a proper performance of top stars.Since Artest won the best defensive player last season, he has been regarded as one of the superstars.

The Pacers, Pistons, and Heat are the three best teams in the Eastern Conference this year. The Pacers' challenge to the Pistons is also regarded as a preview of this year's playoffs.

But now you may not see these two teams play against each other in the playoffs. In this game, Ben Wallace and Artest clashed, and then some fans threw a water cup at Artest, who had calmed down. , the latter was furious and had a large-scale brawl with the fans, known as the Palace of Auburn Hills incident in history.

Artest was suspended by the league for 73 games because of this, and the season ended early!In addition, two other generals of the Pacers, the super power forward Jermaine O'Neal in the East, were suspended for 25 games, and the top shooting guard Stephen Jackson was suspended for 30 games. Belly!
Tragic Reggie Miller, the Pacers are in excellent form this season. People hope that he can take the opportunity to win a championship when the OK combination is disbanded. This is also his last chance.

As the three-point leader in NBA history and the best three-point shooter in history, Reggie Miller had to accept a cruel fact that his championship dream has been ruined!

This is a sad story.

Because of this, Ye Han was ignored from the focus of attention, and he was saved from wave after wave of media bombardment.

After playing the Clippers, the Bobcats have two days to rest, and there is no game until the 15th.

On the 14th, when the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills was in full swing, Charlotte was still so peaceful and harmonious.

Ye Han and Okafor met to buy a car.

As Ye Han's popularity grew, Charlotte's fans became more enthusiastic. Whenever the Time Warner Center Arena was crowded with fans on game days, he could no longer run to It doesn't matter.

He has played for two weeks now, and just received his first week's salary. Ye Han doesn't have much money. After deducting various taxes and players' association dues, he has more than 4 dollars left. Noah gave him [-] dollars. Go buy a cheap car and drive first.

"Ace, you just bought this?" Okafor asked in surprise.

Ye Han chose a Passat in the early [-]s, and it only cost [-] with various accessories.

"Nonsense, my salary is not as high as yours." Ye Han gave Okafor a blank look.

As the No. 360 pick, Okafor's rookie annual salary is as high as more than 17 million. This time when he received his salary, he directly withdrew half of this season's salary in advance.After tax deduction, Okafor can get more than 11 U.S. dollars each time he pays his salary. The NBA pays his salary every two weeks, because the normal working hours of NBA players are six months, that is, from November to April. What is an obligation, there is no salary except for a possible bonus, it is a fight for honor.

Okafor directly drew a salary of 100 million this time, and planned to buy a car first.

Okafor, who was born in a middle-class family, has no shortage of money in her family. She buys some gifts for her wife, daughter and parents, and manages the rest herself.

"That's right, I forgot that Ace is a poor second-round pick, it's okay, I'll give you a Ferrari." Okafor said quite proudly.

It's true that rich people don't take money as money!Ye Han grieved silently, but he was even more unhappy with the teams that didn't pick him in the first round. If he entered the lottery, he could buy a car with the pride of Okafor.

As expected, Okafor did what he said, and spent 23 US dollars to pre-order the latest Ferrari for Ye Han. He just participated in various auto shows, and the new car Ferrari F430 will be officially released after Christmas. However, before that, Ye Han still Gotta drive his cheap Passat.

Ye Han didn't reject Okafor's kindness, he was a little moved, patted Okafor on the shoulder and said, "When I sign a big contract, I'll give you a new car too!"

"I don't think I can wait a few years. Maybe I'm still on a rookie contract, and you've already got the maximum salary." Okafor laughed.

Hearing what Okafor said, it might be true!Ye Han heard that the contract he signed with the Bobcats is a 1+1 contract. After two years, other teams can only offer Ye Han a starting salary of 500 million, and a contract with a maximum salary in the third year. Bobcats' salary space can directly give Ye Han a maximum salary contract with 20.00% of the salary cap and five starting salaries.

Americans don't usually socialize much, and most of them are at home outside of work. This is the first time Ye Han has gathered with Okafor after entering the NBA.

The two of them had a meal at night before returning home. Unfortunately, they couldn't go to the nightclub to drink a few times, because Ye Han hadn't reached the age of 21 in North Carolina. What a tragedy.

Okafor returned home and told his wife Alika Okafor the details of the money spent.

Alika heard that Okafor bought Ye Han a car worth 23 yuan, and said dissatisfied: "I know you and Ace have a good relationship, but it's 20 yuan! Not [-] yuan! You will suffer if you are so good to a friend." of."

Sure enough, she became stingy after becoming a child's mother. Alika was much more generous than Okafor when she was in college.But it can’t be said that Alika is stingy, with 23 U.S. dollars, with the strong purchasing power of the United States, 23 U.S. dollars can buy a villa in many cities.
