Chapter 538 [Rabbits do not eat grass on the edge of the nest]
After the game, fans were discussing Yang Jian and the SuperSonics. Yang Jian's popularity now exceeds that of other stars.
If fans don't discuss him, who will they discuss? When Jordan retires, there is no star who can compare with him in popularity. Young stars in the same period don't need to compare for honors. Just looking at the data, you can tell that they are not on the same level as him.
It was also a major overhaul of the team's lineup, and the Bulls had completely collapsed. Their biggest signing in the summer was the signing of swingman Brent Barry. In the first game, they lost to the Pacers 86-106 on the road.
The winning Pacers did not receive much praise. They lacked eye-catching big-name stars. Reggie Miller made 4 of 8 shots in the first game, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 14 points, 2 rebounds, and no assists.
With these poor statistics, Miller's popularity will not increase much if he reaches the finals. Although he scored the highest score in a single game of his career in the finals, everyone can see that Yang Jian did not defend seriously.
Scottie Pippen still joined the Houston Rockets, which had salary space, but the contract was much smaller than he expected. Five years and $50 million barely reached an annual salary of tens of millions.
In a parallel world, the 33-year-old Lion No. 33 opened his mouth and asked Bulls manager Krause to give him 80 million in 6 years or 70 million in 5 years. Krause refused, and the negotiation broke down. In the end, the Bulls were surprisingly courageous, signed first and then traded, 5
Pippen was given to the Rockets for $67.2 million in exchange for Roy Rutgers and a second-round draft pick.
Later, when the media interviewed Klaus, he bluntly said that he looked down on Pippen: "You're only the second oldest! You're still so old!"
Facts have proved that Krause has a vicious vision, and Pippen is indeed not Pippen's material. In his first year with the Rockets, Pippen's scoring plummeted to 14.5 points per game, and he went home to fish in the first round of the playoffs.
The Rockets management was deeply regretful, but fortunately they could correct their mistakes and immediately kicked Pippen to the Portland Trail Blazers. From then on, Pippen gradually became Pippen three, Pippen four, Pippen five, and even Pippen until his retirement.
Previously, Rockets manager Dawson felt that signing Pippen for 50 million was a big bargain. Vin Baker is in a contract year this year, and he can stay if he renews his contract beyond the cap. In this way, the team has three stars with Olajuwon, and it seems that they can compete for the championship this season.
The management had good intentions, but both Pippen and Vin Baker played badly, and they were defeated by the Lakers in the away game 78-99 in the first game.
In Pippen's first game for the Rockets, he made 4 of 18 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, scoring 10 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals. His shooting percentage was 22.2%.
Helped the Lakers seal the victory in the third quarter.
O'Neal is now regarded as the star most likely to defeat the Sonics. His dominance in the paint is terrifying. In the opening game, O'Neal made 13 of 21 shots, 4 of 7 free throws, and scored 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 assists.
It is worth mentioning that the Raptors beat the Celtics 113-90 in the opener.
As the team's starting point guard, Snow scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals in his first game, and also defended the Celtics point guard Kenny Anderson like a blacksmith.
The Raptors' lineup looks promising. Not only did they sign Snow, they also signed veteran center Kevin Willis, and traded for Knicks power forward Charles Oakley.
The outside starting lineup composed of Snow, Doug Christie, and Vince Carter is very good, and the team also has McGrady as the sixth man. The Raptors coach feels that McGrady's shooting is too tough and is unwilling to let him start, but has always
Recognizing his most beautiful calves, most beautiful fucks, etc. will give him some opportunities to perform.
The Cavaliers that Snowburn wanted to join lost to the Hawks in their first away game, 83-100. Kemp received unanimous negative reviews from the media. He was so fat that he could not jump.
After reading the news, Snow called Yang Jian to express his thanks. He was very popular in Toronto and couldn't imagine what would happen if he joined the Cavaliers. Moreover, the Cavaliers' starting point guard is the defensive black hole Brevin Knight.
It is very likely that he will often play with Knight and guard the opponent's shooting guard.
After reading the news, President David Stern felt helpless.
Nowadays, there are several powerful inside stars emerging in the league, who can score double-doubles. No outside star can compete with Yang Jian, who is obviously invincible on the outside.
Another headache for Stern is whether to let Yang Jian win the regular season MVP for three consecutive years. If Yang Jian's data explodes and his scoring average is more than 10 points higher than the second place, how can the MVP be awarded to others?
Stern never thought about letting a foreign player dominate the NBA and become the first player in history. Yang Jian did help the NBA expand overseas markets, but he went too far.
Lucky for Vince Carter, he will definitely be the one to be favored by the league next time.
In the parallel world, Carter became the All-Star vote-winner in 2000 not entirely due to his personal strength. The league was in urgent need of an outside star to support the appearance. Carter was the number one candidate because of his beautiful dunks, but this person has different ways of seeking death.
Such idiotic remarks, signing a sneaker endorsement contract, and choosing Puma made me lose my temper for a while.
After Snow joined, the Raptors' overall strength has become stronger, and Carter may have a better career. Of course, the premise is that he does not seek death.
Yang Jian didn't feel much about winning the game and was a bit bored at home.
None of his girlfriends were in Seattle, so he was alone at home. This had not happened in a long time.
Gao Yuanyuan returned to China at the end of January to celebrate the New Year. According to Chinese tradition, the Spring Festival is a day for family reunion, and February 16th is the first day of the new year. She will stay at home until the fifteenth day of the month before coming to the United States.
Jennifer Aniston is filming "Friends Season 5" and has to take time to promote the movie "The 10-Day Dating Guide" in Los Angeles and New York. It has been the busiest time recently.
Drew Barrymore has started filming "Legally Blonde". This time Yang Jian is not the producer and he is not available.
Naomi Watts is still busy with "Midnight Ring 2" and lives in Yang Jian's new home in Los Angeles. Recently, she and Nicole Kidman have become very close and have become good friends again.
There is no competition tomorrow, so Yang Jian got a day off but could only watch TV and practice piano at home.
Yang Jian was in a state of excitement just after the game and couldn't sleep at all. At 11 o'clock, he heard the doorbell.
Who would ring the doorbell at this time? If his girlfriend had called beforehand, could it be some crazy female fan who followed him and found her home?
Yang Jian doesn't want this to happen, as it will waste a lot of time and may cause messy news.
Looking outside the door through the peephole, Yang Jian's expression suddenly became dull. It turned out to be Cameron Diaz.
He opened the door and asked curiously: "Why are you here?"
"I'm lovelorn. I'm too depressed and want to find someone to chat with, so I came to see you." Cameron entered the room with a smile, not looking at all like he was lovelorn.
"Are you going to fall out of love? Even if you break up with a guy, you're the one who dumped him, right?" Yang Jian took a deep breath, feeling that things were not simple and something was going to happen tonight.
Cameron put down his bag, lay down on the sofa in the living room, and sighed: "Don't look at me smiling all day long as if I won the lottery. In fact, I am very depressed inside and I also have worries."
Her lazy look is very sexy. Even though she is wearing casual pants, her legs still look very long.
Yang Jian didn't know how to complain. You also know that you smile all day long as if you won the lottery? "Okay, I want to help you, but I am the only one at home now. Do you think this time is appropriate?"
"I know you don't have anyone at home, and you will be at home for the next game, so you deliberately chose this time to come." Cameron sat up and smiled: "There is something I have wanted to ask you for a long time. Why do you have so many scandals? Reply
China can bring someone back but never consider me?"
Yang Jian shrugged. "Do you even need to ask? Because of your relationship with Drew. There is a saying in China that rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. That's too weird."
"I don't think it's weird." Cameron smiled.
Yang Jianhan said: "I think it's strange."
"Will you marry Drew?" Cameron asked.
"No." Yang answered simply.
Cameron smiled and said: "I don't plan to marry you, so what are you worried about?"
Yang Jian blew a breath. "Is this a matter of scruples? This is a matter of character. If something happens to us, we will both look like scum."
Cameron took off his coat. "I'm going to take a shower, shall we?"
