shooting guard era

Chapter 116 141. Let's add photos to the retired jersey
Black and white jerseys, fans wearing black and white T-shirts and clothes to support the home team, even the decoration of the arena is black and white.

When Ye Han stepped into the ATT arena, he felt a chill coming out of his vest.

This arena is cursed!Ye Han looked at this weird arena, and patted Okafor on one side: "Emeka, do you think this arena is intrusive?"

Okafor was still excited today, and he replied casually: "No, this arena is quite new. It is said that it has only been used for two years. Although it is a small town, it is very rich. Look at the LCD screen in the middle, it is bigger than ours. It's still stylish..."

Okafor obviously didn't understand what Ye Han meant.

Ye Han is right when he thinks about it. In the NBA, only domestic players will think of trivial matters when they see the Spurs at home. Sure enough, it is better to watch the Spurs games on TV. This color scheme.

For the Spurs, Ye Han only had one idea - a historically strong team.

The Spurs have only missed the playoffs 1976 times since entering the NBA in 4, second only to the Lakers in this time period... and the Bobcats, and besides the Bobcats, the number of times they have not made the playoffs in NBA history is the second least. The team ... is still second only to the Bobcats.And two of these four times can be called bad performances. These two bad performances were lucky to get the No. [-] pick, and David Robinson and Tim Duncan were selected to help them win two championships.

Thinking of this, Ye Han couldn't help laughing.

"Hello, Ye, what are you laughing at?"

A very strange voice came into Ye Han's ears. Ye Han looked up and saw the big number 21.

It's Duncan, and he's spoken!

"Hey, Tim, you can just call me Ace," Ye Han looked at the poker face in front of him, he was surprised that Duncan would take the initiative to talk to him, of course Ye Han was too embarrassed to speak out about his wild thoughts just now, He replied casually: "I think this arena is very beautiful, very beautiful, so I am very happy."

Ye Han is just talking nonsense, it can be said that this is the arena he feels the most uncomfortable, bar none, this color scheme is too unpleasant for the Chinese.

Of course, Duncan on the opposite side didn't know what Ye Han was thinking, and smiled happily: "Ace? It's a good name. I also like this arena very much. I planned to go there two or three years ago because the previous arena was so bad. The Magic played, but seeing the new arena being built, I decided to stay."

What?Duncan laughed!Well, Ye Han was a little surprised.Then what Duncan said made Ye Han even more astonished. Just because of this reason, why didn't he leave?

In 2000, Ye Han was still in high school, and he was already very concerned about the NBA. He was also a strong player in high school, and his physical talent dominated the high school circle in Connecticut where he was then. High school is a place where good physical fitness can dominate.

At that time, Duncan was already a favorable contender for the first power forward in NBA history, and at the peak, the Magic had Grant Hill. Duncan had almost gone to the Magic with McGrady, who was about to become a free agent of the Raptors. Hill, Duncan gave up the idea of ​​​​going to the Magic and stayed with the Spurs. At that time, people didn't know why.

After winning the championship in 1999, David Robinson's state declined sharply in the 1999-2000 season. He only scored 17 points and 9 rebounds, and he played more and more inside, occupying Duncan's development space.

In 1992, when the NBA was almost shut down for the first time, both labor and management abolished the clause of restricted free agency. Before that, it was almost impossible for top players to get free transfers. The home team could match the offer contracts received by all players. .Players won valuable free rights that year.

But this right is too great, which will lead to chaos in the entire NBA market in the next few years. After the end of the rookie contract, all players will ask for big contracts, causing a large number of stars to leave the team, including the Magic losing O'Neal, and Larry Johnson. Playing a game in the NBA requires a contract of [-] million yuan and so on.

These problems directly led to the suspension of the 1998-1999 season, because the owners were too insecure. Although the team was making more and more money, it could not withstand such a chaotic market.

So in the new labor agreement, the players took a step back and set a limit on the number of player contracts, so as to prevent veterans in their 30s from demanding big contracts more than ten years ago based on their strength.The rookie contract is even more strictly restricted, the salary becomes fixed, and the only restricted free agent clause in his career is added.

After that, the NBA gradually got on the right track and entered a stage of prosperity.

Players who signed rookie contracts before 1999 did not have restricted free agents. The rookie contracts signed during the lockout period of the 1998-1999 season were restricted free agents.

Duncan's rookie contract was signed in 1997, only 3 years, he can go to any team, McGrady with Pippen's defense, and Hill's Magic with "Jordan plus Oscar Roberts" offense Obviously much stronger than the Spurs lineup.

So Duncan finally chose to stay to surprise everyone.

Ye Han didn't expect that this was the reason why Duncan stayed!
Ye Han looked at the arena suspiciously. Could it be that this color scheme has any buff bonus?

Suddenly, Ye Han had a bad idea, smiled and said to Duncan: "I said Tim, I think there is something missing in this arena."

"Oh? What's wrong?" Duncan asked curiously.

"Look at the jerseys above. Wouldn't it be better if their photos were put on the jerseys? Now fans may only have heard of the names of those famous people. If they put photos on them, they will be able to pay more attention to these players. , know what they look like, so as not to be forgotten after many years." Ye Han was serious nonsense, usually this guy doesn't talk much, but he has a lot of black water!
Duncan's eyes lit up: "Why didn't I think of it! Ace, you are too smart, I'm going to discuss it with Greg."

"..." Ye Han looked at Duncan's ever-changing face like an emoji, and thought to himself that this guy is such a person, a sullen man!I usually don't talk much, I hide it in my heart.

And so honest!
But, so much fun!Ye Han continued to bewitch: "Tim, look, the color scheme of your arena and the color of your jerseys are all black and white, those photos should also be in this color..."

Duncan kept nodding, keeping Ye Han's thoughts on the retired jersey firmly in mind, he almost didn't take a notebook to write it down.

Poor Duncan became the object of Ye Han's fun, and no one would be able to remind him.

The two big stars chatted happily together for the first time, and killed a lot of films in seconds. Neither the media nor the reporters thought that the relationship between the two would be so good, chatting together non-stop.

Duncan is famous for his poker face, he doesn't talk much, Ye Han is also famous for his bad temper, and he is against many top players.Well, these are the assumptions of the reporters.

But that’s what journalists do. They want the public to accept their news and their assumptions. First of all, they believe in their own ideas. As the saying goes, if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. .

Seeing that Duncan and Ye Han had a happy exchange, the reporters came up with a new idea: Ye Han and Duncan plan to join forces...

After a while, the game started.

Both Duncan and Ye Han returned to their usual cold faces, adjusted their mentality, and came to the court.
