Chapter 287: Negative Teaching Materials
Stephen’s two second-generation products have achieved great success. Both among fans and dealers, the response was very strong. Stephen finally had no choice but to add two more events. During the event, the US team had already avenged a revenge on the Puerto Rico team, and at the same time defeated the Chinese team with a 30-year victory, and then won four games in a row. Is this the normal US team?
By the time Stephen arrived in Japan, the World Championships had reached the semi-finals. Stephen happened to catch up with the US team against the European powerhouse Greece. Stephen appeared quietly in the stands without attracting any public attention. He quietly watched the game. When Stephen left the stadium after the game, he no longer knew how to describe his feelings.
The United States lost, and he lost without any resistance. Throughout the game, Stephen was deeply impressed by the Greek point guard who came on as a substitute. The United States can be said to have completely lost to him alone. No matter who he is in the position, he cannot stop his breakthrough. The European-style pick-and-roll of his teammates and his teammates center also gave Stephen a deep impression.
Losing this game means that the US team has missed the championship this time. This is the third time since the Dream Team was formed, it has missed a major international event. Although he defeated Argentina in the subsequent three or four matches, for the US team, without a championship is a failure. No matter how the prides of the heavens are in a downturn, Stephen has returned to Los Angeles at this time.
The Spurs have proposed a contract renewal negotiation, but according to Modangs' understanding, the Spurs are only proposing a two-year middle-class contract. Of course, according to the league's salary terms, the contract for players under four years cannot be extended, and the Spurs can only propose such a contract. This cannot be said that they are not sincere enough to reach the contract, but if Stephen waits until the end of the season to renew the contract, he can get a four-year contract.
However, at that time, the Spurs had to risk others having a big contract. If he wanted to keep Stephen, he had to match the contract. The Spurs came up with such a contract, which was also a sign of throwing a stone to ask for directions. Anyway, for a player like Stephen, whether it was four or two years, the first two years must be the size of a middle-class contract, and there was no difference.
If Stephen accepts such a contract, then it will be 2010 that Stephen and his contract ended. By then, Duncan was already 34, and the team was handed over to Stephen. And through these three years of contract, you can also find out how great the potential Stephen has, whether it is suitable for the future of the team.
There are many meteor-like characters in the league. Although Stephen looks particularly bright, it does not prove that Stephen can continue to play three or four seasons in this state. It is not too late to spend a lot of money to keep Stephen.
Stephen had no need to participate in the negotiations of such sincerity. He devoted all his energy to training. Although Engelland could not come, he hired an assistant coach named Bob Denghuad, who was once the personal coach of LeBron James, which provided great help to James, who had just entered the league.
At the same time, he is not a single coach. His training is very comprehensive. In addition to Stephen's old problems in shooting, there are also many trainings such as Stephen's offensive selection and the grasp of passing timing. While the negotiations are arguing, Stephen's training is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
Unfortunately, the training time is shorter, and due to time, many trainings cannot be carried out, but Stephen has no choice. He is not a god who is not a worldly god. Although improving basketball skills is very important to himself, making money is equally important.
Many times, those world-class companies are not signed by you after you suddenly become famous. You must be not satisfied with their previous spokespersons before you can replace them with a new spokesperson. If you lose this opportunity, you may lose this opportunity forever.
Contract negotiations have been in dispute, and this is also impossible. The meaning of the existence of an agent lies in the second. If a player does this, the conversation may be broken in just a few sentences, and the agent can play a buffering role in the middle. At the same time, for most players, they do not understand so many complex contract terms. Due to the meaning of the word in English, it is difficult for those who are not professionals to understand the meaning of so many professional words.
This is the meaning of the existence of an agent. However, when Modons first negotiated, he also found that sports brokers were not as simple as entertainment brokers. Since this was Stephen's second contract, there were many terms in the labor-management agreement that were related to Stephen, which limited Stephen's next contract size, such as the Larry Bird clause and the Arenas clause. After every day's negotiation, he reported the negotiation situation to Stephen, and Stephen also learned a lot from it.
Leave the matters you don’t understand to professionals. This is a very popular sentence in the United States. Of course, it is unknown whether the inventor of this sentence is a lawyer or agent. However, Stephen did not worry too much about this. As long as he performed well, he would not worry about not having a big contract. Moreover, with Modons there, it was not his turn to worry about it.
Stephen was very devoted to training, and often made Deng Huade sigh whether he had met another LeBron James and was very attentive to Stephen's guidance. For example, Stephen's changes during offense. Although Stephen consciously changed his offense in the later stage, the choice of offensive methods was not so reasonable, nor was it as simple and effective as before.
Also, Stephen's vision is too obvious when attacking, and the opponent can guess how Stephen will attack at once. In defense, Deng Huade mainly teaches Stephen how to predict the opponent's offensive route and offensive methods.
In his spare time in training, Stephen has been paying attention to the strengthening of the trading teams in the league, but there has been no shocking transactions in the trading market until now. The only thing that is more important is that the Warriors fired former coach Montgomery and hired the famous coach Nelson who was unemployed at home.
An interesting thing happened in the middle, that was the Kings player Bonzi Wells, who shone in the first round of the playoffs against the Spurs. Although the Kings were eliminated by the Spurs, Wells' ability was fully displayed in this series.
After the game, many teams were interested in him, but only the Kings had substantial actions and offered him a five-year contract of 36 million. However, Wells was not satisfied with the contract and believed that this contract could not fully reflect his value.
He and his agents believe that no big-name free agents appear in the market this season, and players like Wells will definitely be very popular. Unfortunately, no big-name free agents appear, which also means that no team is willing to make big moves in the trading market and ultimately misjudged the situation.
After being irritated by his insatiable attitude, the Kings quickly signed his replacement John Salmons in the free agent market. The teams that had previously been exposed, either were either trapped in the salary range and could only provide a contract that was far inferior to this one, or had already completed the operation and the final hot goods fell to an unpopular point.
When Stephen's training was about to end, it was reported that the Houston Rockets were preparing to sign him with a two-year, $5 million contract. Compared with the previous five-year, 36 million contract, two years were not as good as that one, and that was five years old. For Wells, who is over 30 years old, it is already a pension contract.
In his discussion with Stephen, Modons also regarded Wells's incident as a negative teaching material. Compared with the previous "crazy man" Spreville, Stephen would definitely not make such a mistake. Besides, Stephen's performance is like Stephen, there is also a contract debate, and the team must have paid the highest salary to retain it.
After Nestrovic's contract expired, the Spurs did not come up with a contract to keep him. In addition, Mohamed's departure, the inside line suddenly became unavailable. The team finally signed Francesco Elson, a two-meter-one-three-point big center, as a replacement for Nestrovic.
At the same time, it carried forward the tradition of hoarding inside players and signed a power forward named Jack Butler in the free agent market. Due to Van Exel's retirement, the Spurs signed another point guard named Jacque Vaughan. Stephen believes that Udic will not feel good.
Van Exel's retirement was in a hurry. His contract was over and there was no movement on the Spurs. After he noticed the team's attitude, he made the decision to retire. The championship ring has been obtained. In addition, his body is indeed not enough to support him in the late stage of this season.
When he retired, because Stephen was on his own business trip, Van Exel did not hold a big show. He just entrusted Ji Jingren to issue a retirement statement and then went to Europe for a vacation. Stephen just chatted over the phone, and saw that he was very interested, he said nothing.
In short, no one made any big noise, and naturally the Spurs did not. They had a few players to replace the retired or left players, but they were just trying to keep Stephen. Of course, in the eyes of the media, if the Spurs could keep Stephen, they would leave a future and ensure the glory of the next ten years.
