Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 104 Won't Let Me Beat Me Up?

For professional players, there are not many years to waste in just a few years of peak time.

If Seattle doesn't want to make progress, to be honest, he will definitely walk away without mercy.

Some people may think that doing so is shameless and cruel!
Hehe, isn't it stupid to talk to a group of businessmen?

NBA owners, which one is not a shrewd and capable businessman, will they talk to you?

They do, and that's because they want you to take a pay cut.

Once you are old, it is useless, no matter how much you have contributed before, you will be kicked away.

For example, Patrick Ewing, the gorilla, was kicked out by the Knicks without nostalgia.

There is also Jordan, who played for the Wizards' comeback, but was still taken away by the Wizards owner for the team's shares.

This is not an isolated case, there are also Barcelona abandoning Messi, and Real Madrid and Manchester United humiliating Ronaldo.

At this time, will the group of businessmen talk to you about their feelings?
As for fans, how should I put it, a fan is not an individual, it is very complicated.

There are indeed some fans who are diehard players and support them without brains or even without reason.

However, for more fans, the team is the first object they will always support.

Given the choice between past feats and current achievements, they will give up the former without hesitation.

For these fans, it is better to say that they support the players than they support the achievements the players have made for the team.

One person, one city requires the right time and place.

Of these stars who are active on the field today, how many of them have truly achieved one person, one city, and achieved results?

Kobe, Nowitzki, and Duncan...

It is really no exaggeration to say that there are only a handful of them. In fact, strictly speaking, it is only Duncan.

Kobe, do you think the Lakers didn't have the slightest idea of ​​trading him at the end of his career?

But Kobe was lucky, because of the internal struggle of the Lakers, it was a coincidence that he stayed.

In addition, although his strength has declined at the end of his career, his ability to sell tickets is still strong.

And Nowitzki, purely because he met the right guy, a different NBA owner.

The topic is far away, Wang Hao didn't know that he had already walked around the trading market, so naturally he didn't think too much.

This time, he is having dinner with Artest.

There's nothing good about American food, so of course you can only eat Chinese food, although the taste of American Chinese food is also very weird.

"Wang, I have already paid you back your money, remember to check."

"Ron, there's no need to be so anxious, I'm not short of money!"

"I know, but I already have money, but I'm still in debt. There's no such reason!"

Wang Hao shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't care, anyway, Artest is also a person who earns a million a year.

The reason why Artest borrowed money started before the season.

A family with financial constraints finally got an NBA player, which means a lot of money.

Artest was also very rude. After paying a part of his salary in advance, he began to take his family with him.

The family had a great time and spent a lot of money.

After the start of the new season, relatives from all walks of life found Artest from all directions.

Relatives and friends have found Chicago, so of course Artest should treat him well.

After all, he is an NBA player, so he cannot lose face.

In the end, many of those so-called relatives and friends were people he seemed to know but couldn't name.

After all, Artest is just a rookie, even a superstar, he can't stand such blood sucking!
In the end, he could only be penniless, and even eating became a problem.

At this time, it is impossible for the team to continue to advance his salary, and he is about to go out to work to make a living.

In the end, it was Wang Hao who heard about it and lent part of the money to Artest.

It's just that this time Wang Hao didn't try to persuade him.

It is true to listen to people's advice to eat enough, but if people don't want to eat, you can still force it!

Anyway, Artest can get a big contract, so he won't even be able to survive.

It's really not good, in the future, if you use Pan Dafu's identity to go to Huaxia for a while, you can get a lot of money.

On January 12, at the United Center in Chicago.

It was the last game the Sonics played before Christmas, and it was against the Chicago Bulls.

During the 95-96 season, the Sonics just lost to the Bulls and missed the championship.

It's a pity that things are different, except for Gary Payton, the two teams have no familiar people.

Speaking of the Chicago Bulls, that is also a major feature of the United States.

After coming to Chicago, assistant coach Field also specially reminded Wang Hao not to go out casually.

Even when Artest went to the hotel to find him and invited him to dinner, he ran into trouble.

If Artest hadn't come over in person and explained that the place to eat was high-end and safe, Paul Westphal would have disagreed with Wang Hao immediately.

No way, it's the crime capital of America after all.

It is said that Gotham City, the crime capital in American comics, is a combination of Chicago and Detroit.

Wandering around in this kind of place is easy to get into trouble, not to mention Wang Hao with such a complexion.

"Di!"

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

The Sonics' starting lineup is still the same, and unless there is an injury, it is unlikely to change.

Even if Wen Baker has performed poorly recently, the team even wanted to sell him, but did not take him into the starting lineup.

The reason is simple, no one is available!

Whether it's Rashad Lewis or Gerani McCoy, they are much worse than Wen Baker.

As for the Bulls, the starting lineup is very characteristic. There are no particularly tall players, but the average height is very high.

Corey Benjamin and Knello David partnered in the backcourt, both of them are about 200 centimeters tall.

The small forward position is naturally Artest, and the power forward is this year's No. [-] pick Elton Brand.

As for the center, it is Dick Simpkins who will be taller than Wang Hao.

Five players stand together, and their heights are basically the same, which leads to a high average height.

It's just that such an evaluation of height has no effect on the inside confrontation, and it will even be a disadvantage.

One more thing, compared to Artest, he had a dinner with Wang Hao, and he also took the initiative to say hello.

Elton Brand, who practiced hard in the other half, didn't seem to come over to say hello.

In fact, at the dinner party yesterday, Artest invited Brand, but was rejected.

Coupled with today's incident, it is obvious that Brand feels somewhat uncomfortable.

No way, as the best player this season and this year's No. [-] pick, the two have often been compared by the media.

The end result, of course, was that Wang Hao was praised in various ways, while Brand was criticized in various ways.

Even recently, the news about Wang Hao has become more and more lively, but the news about Brand has gradually become scarce.

The original media attention to the No. [-] pick has all been transferred to Wang Hao, and Brand naturally knows what this means.

In this regard, Brand said he was innocent, after all, he played well.

Wang Hao expressed his innocence. After all, it wasn't his fault that he fought well, so he shouldn't be allowed to fight indiscriminately, right?
