Chapter 311 not doing business
The downturn of the Warriors team continues. Coach Lenny still insists on the policy of big rotation. Instead, he reduces the playing time of Tracy McGrady and Hill, and even Dayao makes him come off the bench more.

Verus must support Lenny as the authority of the head coach. A team can only have one voice. If the team owner, the head coach and the general manager have three ideas, the result of too much internal friction will be nothing after a season. .

Back-to-back away games against the Seattle SuperSonics are very difficult for the Warriors in trouble. The Sonics are very strong this season. Lent Barry, Jerome James.

On the Supersonics bench, there are also bench gangsters such as Vin Baker, Desmond Mason, Randy Livingston, etc. The Supersonics with a record of 37 wins and 30 losses before the game basically locked a Western Conference playoff seat .

Back-to-back Golden State Warriors, sent the starting lineup as follows, center No. 30 Big Ben Wallace, power forward No. 15 Pau Gasol, small forward No. 12 Bruce Bowen, shooting guard No. 20 Larry Hughes , point guard No. 0 Gilbert Arenas.

Before coming to Seattle, No. 8 Hu Dong of the Warriors approached Verus in private. He admitted that he hoped to return to China to play next season. The pace of the NBA is too fast, and Lao Hu feels that he can no longer adapt to such a season.

Verus thought about it for a while, but didn't have a clear answer. He suggested that Hu Dong watch it after finishing this season. If he still wants to go back in the summer, then everything will be discussed in the summer.

Looking at the lonely figure of Hu Dong going away, Verus knew that he didn't want to drag the team back. Hu Dong, who will be 33 years old next season, has old injuries everywhere. It is still very difficult to fight against such a fierce game.

The head coach Lenny Wilkens has actually taken care of Hu Dong very much. When the opponent's defense is very tough and rough, he will never send Hu Dong to melee. A chance for Dong to flex his fists.

Of course, this also caused Hu Dong's playing time to be greatly reduced.

Seattle is the headquarters of the world's richest software company, and Gary Payton, a superstar glove who has been selected to the defensive first team for 9 consecutive times, and the veteran Brent Barry also performed well. The Sonics are very strong this season.

This is Nate McMillan's first full NBA coaching season. The young coach McMillan, who was completely underestimated before the start of the game, led the Supersonics all the way, and this is Gary Payton's No.12 NBA season in the Supersonics. The 34-year-old Payton was still able to start 82 games throughout the season, averaging more than 40 minutes per game, contributing 22 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists.

In the third quarter, the weak Warriors were taken away by the Supersonics who were waiting for work. Lenny saw this and called a timeout. In the fourth quarter, both sides sent young players to train the lineup, and the entire fourth quarter became garbage time.

The final score was 93:110. The Warriors lost almost 20 points. The rookie Pau Gasol was fierce and tough inside. He made 8 of 5 shots and scored a team-high 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. Unfortunately, his performance alone could not Help the team win.

In the final stage of the regular season, most NBA players generally feel tired, not only physically, but also mentally and mentally. After all, the long journey of 82 consecutive regular season games has been spent on the plane every day. That feeling can only be understood by experiencing it for yourself.

Dennis Rodman didn't come to Seattle directly. Verus and Lenny never took the initiative to preach to him. A ticking time bomb for how far it can go in the playoffs.

It's just that Verus is not sure whether Rodman injured his opponent or sent the Golden State Warriors into a pit.

Verus gave Rodman very generous treatment through complicated sponsorship contracts and NBA salary, but in the short term, Rodman can see the money but can't touch the money, and after each game, he gets his big bug Pandora MW The money in the account does not reflect that it cannot be transferred for consumption, but the amount is constantly changing every day.

Verus didn't have time to explain the contract to Rodman. Anyway, until the end of the season, the money that Rodman can withdraw in the end will be closely related to his performance this season. In the end, how many tens of thousands of dollars he can take away from the Warriors depends entirely on For him, how much positive efficiency Rodman contributed to the Warriors.

The actuaries and lawyers hired by Rodman at his own expense finally told Rodman that if everything goes according to the optimal script, if the Golden State Warriors win the NBA championship this season, and Rodman Rodman's performance coefficient is higher than or equal to the coefficient benchmark, so Rodman will be able to get an eight-figure total income.

After Rodman heard this number, his eyes were bigger than a copper bell, and then he took the thick contract and knocked on the calculator for a long time. After a long time, he suddenly threw away the contract and the calculator and went directly to In the training arena, I went to practice hard.

Rashad Lewis made 18 of 12 shots today and scored a game-high 26 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. People confront each other, and no one can guard against the other.

The Warriors returning home will face the challenge of the Los Angeles Clippers two days later, but Verus has more important things to do.

Doug called and said, "Hey, boss, Verus, come here quickly, something happened to the chicken farm."

Verus was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "What's the matter? You mean those little guys from South America?"

Doug said depressed on the phone: "What else can I have? I know you baby chicks are terrible, come here quickly."

After hanging up the phone, Verus ran all the way down the garage, where Hubayi was already on standby, and the passenger door of a car that was on fire was open. As soon as Verus jumped in, the Buick jumped out.

The chicken farm on the coast of San Francisco is not far from the headquarters of the Golden State Warriors basketball club. This is a farm wholly-owned by Verus in the name of another offshore company. There are various chickens he has collected from all over the world. Duck fish and poultry etc.

To transport some uncommon live animals and birds into the United States, many links and certificates and licenses need to be approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and customs clearance. Doug relied on his grandfather's relationship, and it took a long time to get it done. Verus explained task.
