NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

"If I want to win another championship."

"Should I come to join you in the future?"

No matter how life or death is on the field.

Off the court, O'Neal is still considered Zhou Yao's good brother.

competition is over.

The Bobcats' next game is on December 12th, while the Cavaliers won't have a game until the 8th.

O'Neal still had time to sit down and have a drink with Zhou Yao.

But everyone knew that what he said was just a joke.

Last season, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers won the championship first.

O'Neal was certainly not convinced.

But now he is almost 37 years old.

Although he is still one of the strongest centers in the league.

He also made the All-NBA First Team last season.

But it is no longer possible for him to work as hard as he did last season.

O'Neal even knew that.

No matter how hard he works, it is no longer possible to play like he did last season.

He is another year older.

Physical function has really declined severely.

And he is different from Barkley and Ewing before him.

He has his own championship ring.

fmvp even got two, and in his opinion, he should have got three.

But that's why.

Although O'Neal desires to win another championship.

But in fact, he has confidence in his heart.

He didn't need to hug anyone's lap.

Even if he is the number one player in the league today.

Go to the Heat to assist Wade, and go to the Cavaliers to assist James.

He can still accept these.

After all, those two little guys have never won a championship.

He went there and was one of the core members of the team.

If he joins Zhou Yao next season, he will really be a big deal.

O'Neal's pride wouldn't let him do that.

Moreover, the Bobcats probably don't want O'Neal's annual salary of 2000 million.

Don't say anything else.

The Bobcats' total payroll has been at the bottom of the league in recent years.

In 2004, there was really no choice. The league's upper limit for the Bobcats was less than 3000 million.

The Bobcats' total salary of 2251 million seems very low, but it is actually reasonable.

In 2005, the Bobcats' salary cap was still lower than other teams, but it was no longer that extreme.

But in fact, the Bobcats' total salary is only 3800 million.

If it weren't for Kwame Brown's 750 million, Zhou Yao would finally no longer have a rookie contract.

Even lower.

But in the final analysis, the Bobcats' operations still comply with league regulations.

In 2006, the Bobcats successfully captured Peja.

But after careful calculation, the Bobcats' total salary is only 4715 million.

It is still the team with the lowest total salary in the league, bar none.

It was that year that the Bobcats won three consecutive championships.

In 2007, the Bobcats' total salary was still only 4884 million, making them the last team among the 30 teams in the league with a total salary of less than 5000 million.

It is precisely because of this that the league was forced to introduce new regulations.

The league has always had a so-called poor line.

But it was never really strictly enforced.

As for team owners, they are still the professional managers who are specifically responsible for operations.

That's the thing if you can save money.

If the team can save money and still have good results, it can be praised to the sky.

In the 2007-2008 season, the best experience was given to Danny Ainge of the Celtics.

However, many people are unconvinced.

"If I could get the financial support of my boss, I would do no worse than Danny Ainge!"

As soon as the selection results came out, it was really a big deal.

The Celtics are a veteran team.

Boston is not as good as New York or Los Angeles, but it is still a big city.

If you don’t delay making money, you still have a chance to win the championship.

The appeal of this to big-name players who are empty-handed can be imagined.

As for Danny Ainge's role in it, in the eyes of other professional managers, it is not worth mentioning at all.

And they soon had something to say.

The Celtics spent a lot of money to build the Big Five.

It's a pity that they are not even qualified to play in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Not to mention a championship.

In comparison, Bobcats are so special.

The Memphis Grizzlies, who have the second-lowest salary in the league, also exceeded 5400 million.

The Bobcats only spent a measly 4884 million, and they were able to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.

You know, the Grizzlies didn't even get to play in the playoffs.

Even this season.

The Bobcats' total salary is actually only 6228 million.

Finally surpassed the Grizzlies, second to last in the league.

Among them, the biggest reason is.

Zhou Yao's salary last season was 1374 million, and this season it is as high as 2520 million.

If Zhou Yao's big contract is not considered.

The total salary of the Bobcats is simply unimaginable.

The problem is, the Grizzlies are now 5-15.

The Bobcats are 20 wins and 0 losses.

You can say that Jordan's team building philosophy is to save money.

You can also say Jordan is stingy.

But the problem is that the team's record is so good that no owner has the motivation to spend more money.

Not to mention that O'Neal himself has no real intention to come to the Bobcats to hug him.

With his big contract of 2000 million per year, the Bobcats could only shut him out.

However, although what O'Neal said was a joke, it was also filled with emotion.

The Cavaliers are very strong this season.

The record of 17 wins and 3 losses ranks second in the league.

Moreover, being second also has the benefit of being second.

If this record can be maintained forever.

Then after entering the playoffs, you don't have to worry about meeting the Bobcats before the Eastern Conference Finals.

Moreover, the season is still long.

As long as the Bobcats make a slight mistake, the Cavaliers may rush to the first position at any time.

However, they were beaten by the Bobcats at home and away.

O'Neal is really not optimistic that the Cavaliers can beat the Bobcats in the playoffs.

Although many people outside are saying that the Bobcats are just lucky.

But after all, the Bobcats have actually won so many games.

As an opponent, O'Neal knew very well that the Bobcats won the game by no means relying on luck.

……

The regular season continues.

12 month 8 day.

Facing Wade who scored 50 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks.

The Bobcats said the win was easy.

It can be said that the Heat are in trouble now.

No matter what incredible data Wade scored.

The Heat shouldn't win the game they should win, and they can't win it now.

After all, although the Heat have Wade, the Heat only have Wade.

It's really not easy to deal with such a team.

12 month 10 day.

Bobcats visit New Orleans.

Fortunately, the Hornets lost this game.

But Paul's individual numbers are okay.

Head coach Byron Scott is now completely turned away.

Wasn't Paul restrained by Zhou Yao?

Then just play this kind of game casually.

Anyway, there are only two games against the Bobcats in a season.

The point is, the Hornets have a good record now.

And lose this game.

Unless they reach the finals, they will never face the Bobcats again this season.

And with the Hornets left to play, the Bobcats have won 22 consecutive games...
