In less than 2 minutes, the Rockets not only wiped out their lead, but were also overtaken by the Spurs by three points. Van Gundy frowned more and more, but there was no way to change this situation. In this situation, the Spurs and the Rockets are both top three in Texas. They are quite similar in operation, and they all have a common characteristic, that is, the boss is relatively stingy, and he is not willing to spend a lot of money to sign stars.

Hobbit, the owner of the Spurs, can still say that he really has no money. When he bought the Spurs, although he didn’t say he wasted his fortune, he spent 8000 to buy the Spurs with only 500 million US dollars in assets. 500 million, the Spurs are his only major assets, and in the same year Alexander spent [-] million US dollars to get the Rockets, but it is not a serious injury to him, because he is in the real estate and financial markets There are other assets.

Compared with those bosses who have never won the championship, both of them can be regarded as successful models. The team won the championship for Alexander in the second year after he bought it, and it was two consecutive years; It took a few years to win the championship, but they have won three championships so far.

The two teams have the same operating style, but compared to the Spurs, the Rockets do not have a Popovich, so they are not willing to make big deals, and at the same time they do not have a good vision, so they have to rely on recruiting some veterans and rookies to work hard. Van Gundy No matter how great the ability is, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, not to mention that Van Gundy is not a clever woman.

When the main lineup of the Spurs returned to the field, although Yao Ming also returned to the field after a while, there was no chance to close the score. Pulling apart, the gap between the two sides has been five points, three points, three points and five points. Until the last moment of the game, the Rockets only lost by three points. recognized.

Due to the hurricane in North Carolina, the Rockets were unable to go to the next away game in Charlotte, so they had to change their itinerary and stay in San Antonio. As the owner, Stephen asked Yao Ming out after the game. Go for supper together.

Stephen really wanted to drag Yao Ming to the nightclub, but thinking that the two of them didn't know each other well enough, and they wouldn't let go after going to Yao Ming, Stephen gave up on this idea, and instead found a coffee shop and ordered some snacks Two cups of coffee. Unfortunately, my own restaurant is still under construction. I guess it won't be able to catch up with the end of this season. It will be possible to entertain friends next season.

After chatting, Stephen complained for Yao Ming. The Rockets didn’t know how to find some effective helpers for Yao Ming. will lose.

"Then why don't you just come and help me next season? I remember that your contract is two years? Then we buddies will be invincible inside and outside the world." Yao Ming said half jokingly and half seriously.

"I don't think your boss can afford this price, and your tactics don't suit me." Stephen shook his head. The first sentence was confidence in his own abilities. The Rockets might not be willing to pay to sign him, but the second The second sentence is to question whether the Rockets have their own position. As long as McGrady is there, Stephen will not have enough shot rights on the outside. Now Stephen is not just a blue-collar player who can only defend. Imagine being forced to leave the team like Jim Jackson, but this kind of words cannot be said clearly, presumably because Yao Ming is smart, he does not need to point out that he knows it.

When Stephen mentioned this, Yao Ming naturally understood it as soon as he heard it. Although he is the star of the Rockets, he still can't make decisions for the team, let alone the team has another boss. McGrady, although the cooperation between the two is not bad, but that is because Yao Ming is an inside player, and his position cannot be affected. If another outside player is replaced, McGrady is not as harmless as he appears to be.

"Then are you going to stay with the Spurs?" Yao Ming let go of his thoughts for the time being. With Stephen's current value, it is not something a team like the Rockets can count on, because he and McGrady are two people on the Rockets. Adding up their salaries, they will account for 80.00% of the salary cap. Friendship is friendship, and people can't let people cut their salary. However, he also feels that with the financial and management style of the Spurs, Stephen may not be able to stay.

"I don't know yet. Take one step at a time and see who is more sincere." The most direct way to show sincerity is to see who pays more. This Stephen is not afraid of people knowing, and Stephen has no extravagant hopes There will be a team that will give him a maximum salary, but at least the middle class is close to [-] million, just like Parker and Ginobili's contract, the Spurs will give him such a contract, Stephen is very skeptical, unless they are willing Give up one of Parker or Ginobili, otherwise leaving the Spurs is inevitable.

"Don't go to those small teams. I mean teams with a relatively small market and a relatively stingy team owner. Even if the owner spends money to sign you, he will not be willing to spend money for you Helper, I don’t mean our team, but teams like the Kings and the Bucks.” Yao Ming had just said a few words, and suddenly realized that this was implying his own team, and hurriedly added, but this was trying to cover up The smell is more obvious, and Yao Ming hasn't had such a happy chat with someone for a long time, and he forgot about it for a while.

"I know, anyway, I can't decide where to go. It depends on the situation. If I'm really traded to those teams, I just don't report." It's like the Rockets sent Jim Jackson to the Hornets , Jim Jackson thought the Hornets were bad, so he didn't report it. In the end, the Rockets had to bring in the Suns to form a three-way deal before the deal was completed.

"Hehe, it's okay. I think with your ability, the team's choice will definitely sign you first. If you are not satisfied with their contract, then you have to be careful." As a person who has experienced it, Yao Ming is at least in the league. It's been three or four years, and he can be considered a veteran, so he gave advice to Stephen.

"What's more, I don't know why you chose that company. Although CAA is the undisputed leader in the entertainment industry, they really have no influence in the sports industry. Therefore, regarding the advice they give you, you You must think about it more, and if you have any problems in China, you can ask my agent team for help, as long as it is not a big problem, I believe there should be no problem." Yao Ming said to Stephen with a little heart, this For him, it was too fictional. Although Yao Ming appeared to be easy to get close to people on the surface, there were very few people who could walk into his heart. He really treated Stephen as a friend, so he said This kind of talk.

"Don't worry, Brother Yao, I will definitely ask you for help if I need anything. Besides, I won't have any problems in your country. I can only sign a few commercial endorsements at most, and any sponsors will take care of it." Stephen said very relaxedly, he I don't plan to have much contact with that side.

"Okay, I think it's getting late, let's all go back to rest." It's all said and done. After the game, Stephen is fine, but Yao Ming is already tired. Stephen sent Yao Ming away. Back home, Stephen wanted Yao Ming to live in his home, but he thought he didn't even have a big bed where Yao Ming could lie down, so why should he let him lie on the sofa from his home.

After a day's rest, the Spurs ushered in the challenge of the Hornets at home again. Since the league has assigned the Hornets to the Southwest Division, the Spurs will play two home, two away and four games with the Hornets every season. For this game, the media hype is still the Rookie of the Year rush.

In fact, after the All-Star Game, the record of the Hornets has improved. This is naturally the result of Chris Paul's efforts. There was no doubt about the best rookie. This kind of out-of-the-box thing is not what everyone wants to happen.

Many experts or reporters advocate that Chris Paul should be awarded the best rookie by saying that Chris Paul has contributed more to the team. In addition to the above reasons, some people do not want to see a The yellow-skinned player won the best rookie. At that time, Yao Ming and Stedmire had the same data, both with more than [-] points and [-] rebounds. As a result, the best rookie was won by Stedmire. The reason is the sun The team's record is better.

The slightest remarks will not affect Stephen's state at all, but at the beginning of the game, Stephen can only sit on the court and watch. Popovich will not send him to the starting lineup this time, so Stephen can only watch. Chris Paul gallops down the court, attacking the Spurs' defense.

Parker's speed is considered top in the league, but he still can't catch up with Chris Paul's footsteps. It's not just the speed, but Chris Paul's change of direction is too weird. Going to attack the inside line of their own team, but the inside rotation that the Spurs have always been proud of is in front of Chris Paul. went in.

In a single quarter, Chris Paul scored eleven points, three rebounds, four assists and two steals. At the same time, he led the team to a 31-26 lead over the Spurs by five points. With the Spurs playing like this, Chris Paul has enough reasons to be proud. After the first quarter, Chris Paul deliberately walked past Stephen with his head held high.

"Guys, the main force has owed a debt, and now it's time for us to pay it back." When Popovich said the substitution, Stephen stood up, and then said to his teammates who were on the court together. Duncan and the others who were sitting off the court laughed. When they got up, they didn't feel that Stephen offended their dignity at all.
