Chapter 169 [Real cattle people are good at drawing cakes]
As the initiator of the party and the owner of the house, Yang Jian chatted with everyone for a while.
He talked most with Kemp, Payton, and Schrempf. Whether the Sonics can win the championship depends mainly on the performance of the four of them. As long as they stay united, they will still have an advantage against the Bulls' Big Three.
"Yang, I don't have much time in the league. I hope the team can win the championship this season. When you are practicing shooting, you can call me and I will join in." Schrempf held a bottle of beer and
Yang Jian touched it.
"Look at what you said. With your playing style and condition, there is no problem in reaching 40 years old. There are still many years left." Yang Jian took a sip of beer and smiled.
NBA players also drink. As long as they are not drunk, it will be fine. On some occasions, how can we celebrate if we don’t drink? Many stars have been photographed drunk, and the most famous one is of course Jordan. In the future, Yao Ming will also drink until his face is red.
Pictures of chatting with people.
Schrempf sighed: "My form has declined, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help the team much in a few years."
"No, you just take fewer shots, and your tactical effect has always been obvious. I think as long as you keep playing like this, the No. 11 jersey will definitely be retired in the SuperSonics." Yang Jian said with a smile.
Nate McMillan's jersey was later retired by the SuperSonics. His statistics were much inferior to Schrempf. As long as Schrempf did not leave voluntarily and helped the team win the championship, fans will always remember him.
Schrempf indeed plans to play with the SuperSonics until he retires, and Yang Jian's words are like a guarantee. Once he has won the championship, he will not consider going to other teams for help. He doesn't like to change teams frequently, and thinks Yang Jian
Very promising.
Yang Jian and Kemp chatted, and the topic was their future. Kemp is now envious of Yang Jian's signing of a big contract with Nike, and he also wants a high-paying, long-term contract.
"The agent said that if the SuperSonics renew you and Gary with a high salary, I will definitely not be able to keep you." Kemp said with a wry smile: "I like you and the Sonics very much. You said that if we win the championship, the boss will be willing to exceed the cap."
Renew my contract?”
Kemp has Bird Rights and can extend his contract beyond the salary cap, provided that the Sonics' owner is willing to spend money. If the team renews Payton and Yang Jian, their salary will definitely far exceed the salary cap. If Kemp is renewed with a higher salary
, the SuperSonics' total salary will definitely be the first in the league.
Yang Jian knew that the boss was not that generous, so he thought for a while and said, "It depends on the boss's thoughts. But I'm sure that you will get a long-term contract with a high salary, no matter which team you go to."
"Are you sure?"
"certainly."
What Kemp wants is a high-paying, long-term contract, not necessarily to stay in the SuperSonics.
Yang Jian and Kemp talked about signing first and then trading, which is the most likely thing to happen. Kemp can sign a long-term contract of up to 7 years, and the specific amount will be linked to the SuperSonics' record in the past two years.
Yang Jian said that as long as Kemp helped the SuperSonics win two championships, his 1997 contract renewal would be worth over 100 million yuan, not to mention being the largest in the league. When Kemp heard that much money, he immediately became motivated to play. He
What I want is a high salary, and it would be even better if I have a championship and a high salary.
Yang Jian went to chat with Payton again and promised to help him win the assists title this season.
"Gary, aren't you too confident? You're just the assist king, and you're still worried that you can't compete with Stockton? I'll try my best to take the ball directly after receiving your pass, and try to let you win the assist king every year. Stockton is in
It will be difficult for the Jazz to win the championship. When we win the championship, your historical status will completely overwhelm him!" Yang Jian is always confident.
"We haven't won the championship yet. It seems that your goal is really 6 championships." Payton smiled.
"It's not just me, but us. You should also aim for this. Imagine if we win six championships together in the future, what will people say? By then you may surpass Magic and become the number one point guard in the history of the league.
Well, Stockton has no right to compare with you."
Payton took a deep breath. "If my goal is to surpass Johnson, who do you want to surpass?"
"Of course I want to surpass Jordan and become the strongest shooting guard in history. I want to win more scoring titles and more championships than him. By then we will be the strongest perimeter combination in NBA history and will be recorded in the history of the league," Yang Jian described.
Have a bright future.
He believes that Payton will definitely be the player who has played with him the longest. He wants to change Payton's destiny, and he will probably get a lot of attribute points by then, so that they can truly achieve each other's success.
In the parallel world, Payton's career cannot be called a success, and can even be called a failure. He has only made it to the finals once, is not good at driving his teammates, and is not a qualified boss.
Although Payton has a championship ring, he got it with the Heat at the end of his career. He has never been selected to the All-Star since leaving the Sonics. When he won the championship, he was a substitute who averaged only 5.8 points per game in the playoffs.
Yang Jian feels that Payton is one of the most suitable point guards in the league for him. Because Payton is known for his defense, his shooting percentage is also quite high, his organizational skills are good but his breakthrough ability is average.
If a star point guard who is over 1.8 meters tall were to partner with Yang Jian as a defensive colander, Yang Jian would go crazy.
That kind of person needs Yang Jian to wipe his butt on the defensive end. His shooting skills are as good as a hammer and he still grabs the right to take the shot... Yang Jian probably doesn't have as good a temper as he does now and wants to beat him to death.
There is an idiom in China called "drawing cakes to satisfy hunger", which is a metaphor that is only in name but of no practical benefit. Later, it was often used as a metaphor to comfort oneself with fantasy. From this point of view, "drawing cakes" seems to be a means of self-deception.
But once you get into society, you will find that the truly talented people are good at drawing cakes.
If you feel confused about your future and can't find your position, then you might as well choose to set your own price. In other words, how big of a pie are you willing to draw for yourself?
Most people in the world suffer from low self-confidence and lack of imagination about their own value and future development. In fact, people must dare to draw a pie for themselves. When the pie is finished, it will basically be clear what to do in the future and how to do it.
.
Yang Jian has always been a person with clear goals. After watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he became accustomed to making plans before doing things.
He believes that Zhuge Liang is a master of "painting cakes".
In the first half of his life, Uncle Liu was defeated and defeated again and again. He hid everywhere and was chased and beaten. In order to make contributions to his career, Uncle Liu was thirsty for talents and visited the thatched cottage three times.
Zhuge Liang, who worked hard in Nanyang, was just a commoner. How could he convince Liu Bei that he had the talent of heaven and earth? It was very simple. He drew a big pie for Liu Bei - take Jingzhou first, then Yizhou, and unite Wu to fight against Cao, three points.
The world.
With this "big cake", Zhuge Liang came from behind and became the core of Liu Bei's entrepreneurial team. He helped Liu Bei establish the Kingdom of Shu and became the King of Cake, and he was also a highly respected minister.
Zhuge Liang's "painting" actually foresees the general trend in advance, sees the general trend from the details, and then follows the trend, which makes it easier to realize the value of his life.
Yang Jian's painting of his teammates also foresaw the general trend of the NBA and followed the trend. Times make heroes, they may indeed succeed, and several teammates were excited to hear this.
Payton's character has always been very attractive, and even Jordan dared to criticize him. But now he really admires Yang Jian. He feels that Yang Jian is the kind of natural leader who can convince people in all aspects.
Yang Jian is not only very strong, but he can also speak with great confidence to his teammates. He is always confident when he speaks, and his teammates are infected without knowing it.
If the goal mentioned by Yang Jian is achieved, Payton feels that his life is not in vain. He can't draw a picture like Yang Jian, and even if he has a draft, he can't speak it out as convincingly as Yang Jian.
Has anyone had this kind of personality before? Payton doesn't know if there is one in the NBA. Jordan certainly wouldn't infect his teammates in this way. He gambled with his teammates and even got into fights with them.
Payton clinked glasses with Yang Jian, took a sip of beer, and said with a smile: "I really hope the goal you mentioned can be achieved. I want to go to the gym to practice ball now."
"We will definitely do it. As long as we join forces, we can surpass Jordan and Magic." Yang Jian is very confident.
"I don't think you should be called Yang Jian. This name is not domineering enough."
"Then what do you think is more domineering?"
Payton took a deep breath and smiled: "A person like you who talks about Chaoyue should be called Yang Chaoyue."
