American Fortune Life
Chapter 639: Rockets tumor
In previous lives in the Rabbit Kingdom, most of the Rabbit People, even if they were not basketball fans, would choose to watch NBA because of the pride of Dayao, and even regarded the Rockets as their own home team. The Pearl of the Orient, Bay Bay, Australian Torii, Southeast Asian Chinese the same alsp.
Without Dayao, to be honest, nba cannot attract so many rabbit country fans. Of course, compared to the previous sparse look, pick and find, only look at the nba where the stars are, the Rockets are definitely rabbit countries Most concerned team.
Fans can appreciate the joy of the team winning, the loss of the team lost. This was previously unavailable. Watching the ball seems to be watching the face-blind black and white star performers. Looking at the statistics of the stars, even if their team loses, as long as the stars they care about have a good performance, then this game will not feel lost.
How many people have become Rock's diehards because of Yao. The team is about to advance. They can cheer, drink and celebrate, and stay up late to watch the ball.
The Rockets lost, and they complained that Black let the Rockets lose the opponent, even if the opponent has a star they liked before, this will stand on the Rockets' stand, or he feels more comfortable.
Andy's acquisition of the Rockets, to be honest, a large part of the reason is because of Dayao, he also knows that Dayao will enter a period of frequent injuries in the next few years, and at the beginning, also felt sorry for Dayao's retirement.
When it comes to Dayao's retirement, I have to say that Adiman, who had previously talked about Adyman, is indeed a master of tactics. There is no doubt that Princeton's offensive system is also a proven bullish system. Each team in the league More or less a part of Adelman's offensive system can be seen.
The Rockets played the top five defenses in the league in the Van Gundy era, and the offense was terrible. Andy knew that the Rockets management expected Adelman's Princeton offense system to take the Rockets to a new height.
But Andy once saw a statistic that he could not tolerate taking over the Rockets, and it was also a characteristic of Adelman. Once a player played well on the court, he would always use this player. This is fully reflected in the use of Dayao.
In the previous season of 2007-08, Dayao's playing time suddenly increased to an astonishing 37.2 minutes, creating a career high. Moreover, in Adelman's system, the offensive rhythm of the game is relatively fast, and the offensive round of the game has increased a lot. Yao Ming naturally increased the number of runs back and forth.
Stress fractures-just tired! In the next three pre-season games of 2009, Dayo played more than 38 minutes per game. I can't imagine that hard-working players like Dayao can't bear this.
"I feel that if I do, I ca n’t hold on to this season. If I play 40 minutes, I ca n’t run. After all, I did n’t take a good rest in the summer. I took a vacation early last season, and I still got injured in February.” Yao used to be so outspoken.
In the opinion of Andy, to put it plainly, Dayao was abandoned by Adelman. Nima, for Dayao's cash cow, said that there was a big market of billions of dollars behind Dayao. These foreigners did not understand it at all. The market behind Dayao is aimed at him alone, and there is absolutely no such effect for other rabbit country players. Dayao is carrying 1.3 billion people's expectations to play.
Andy will never let this tragedy repeat the same mistakes, and Dayao is very moral, and he will never choose a team easily. Andy does not have to worry about being stolen, so Adelman is the best, and Andy also He will never be allowed to be the head coach of his own team and give his cash cow mascot to death!
Before Andy, the head of his sports investment company, left his office, Andy also told Granada a word that stunned him and made Granada think that Andy was crazy.
"You have to know something. After the Rocket acquisition is completed, this season ends at the latest. While McGrady is worth the money, trade me away. Of course, the benefits must be maximized!"
Granada stared at the serious expression of the young big boss with a stunned look, a little embarrassed, Nima, that was McGrady, nba's superstar, 35 seconds and 13 minutes of high-light McGrady was shocking the basketball, this kind of superstar In the year of choice, the boss is not crazy?
Of course, Andy is not crazy. He knows better than anyone else. Tracy McGrady has only one season of superstars. Since then, Tracy McGrady has made Andy extremely excited and crazy, but he does not train and is lazy. He only played one back-to-back. When will he play a game to see the waste of the mood, he will not spend 23 million a year to support.
In addition, the Rockets' locker room has always been a big problem. In terms of fame, Tracy McGrady is naturally a locker room boss who is not allowed, and Dayao is not interested in being the boss, but Tracy McGrady is not a boss. This person's personality has serious flaws. The dressing room was a mess.
Of course, there is also the indulgence of the head coach Adelman. Adelman is the kind of head coach who never gets involved in the locker room culture. When you are tired, just rest. When you are not tired and want to play, then you are the starter. If you say back to back, you only play one game, then you play only one game. field.
Adelman let it be, but the teammates couldn't take it anymore and the teammates were in a hurry.
McGrady's popularity is indeed not good. I don't like making friends, I don't like talking, and I sleep like a drowsy all day. For the time being, McGrady doesn't have a superstar fan in the locker room. The team made the most money, more than 20 million US dollars, there is no superstar posture.
Superstars are generally more generous. For example, O'Neal, when the Lakers, was good with Madsen. When he was happy, he gave Madsen a Mercedes-Benz. For example, Kobe, Kobe did not love to make friends, and he was not close to anyone. His daughter did not come to teammates after the full moon. However, after Kobe Bryant took the mvp, he gave each teammate a watch. Close or not close to say otherwise, at least remember teammates; another example is Marbury, in NBA, nicknamed "lone wolf", but when a rookie joined the team, Marbury also paid for rookies to buy suits.
Tracy McGrady wasn't generous. Just don't send anything, he never eats and never pays. Eating with Dayao doesn't have to pay the bill, and with Brooks and Hyde rookies, McGrady doesn't pay the bill. Sometimes Uncle Mu was in a hurry, rushing to pay the bill, distressing Xiao Bu and Hyde. After all, they are all high-end hotels and expensive. Once, Uncle Mu was really anxious with McGrady, and said, "Grammy, you have to check out today. Do you count this season, have you paid the bill?" McGrady was also very upset and stood up and took $ 200 from his pocket. Put aside the table, and said, "This is my money." Then he left. At this point, it's obvious how indifferent McGrady and teammates get along.
Moreover, the relationship between Dayao and McGrady is really not as good as the fans think. To be honest, even ordinary friends are not counted. It can only be said that they are team players who play together.
In the 2008-2009 season, McGrady has changed from a superstar to the target of the Rockets. Before the game, in the locker room, everyone ran a word on him, regardless of whether he was here today or not.
A reporter interviewed Yao Ming before the game: "What do you think of today's game?" Dayao said: "You wait for a while, I will toss a coin first, and decide that I won't play today. I will answer your question after I decide. "This is insinuating McGrady.
McGrady always wants to play, he doesn't want to play, he doesn't play, and he decides before the game starts. Shane said, "Why can we get the job done every day, but McGrady can't?" Alstom also said, "I haven't seen anything like this when I'm so big. Before the match, I knew the starting lineup, but We don't know our own starter. "Because I'm so old waiting for Meg, Meg is playing or not playing today, I don't know.
According to many foreign media reports and well-informed sources, the Rockets locker room has almost evolved into a place of "eat, sleep, and scold McGrady".
The Rockets have actually had enough. It ’s a pity that McGrady ’s reputation at that time was so bad, and his salary was still so high. This kind of unthinking and aggressive, no high-paying and low-energy players without competitive spirit, no innocent will want it, to be frank The Rockets smashed into their hands.
In the last year, Andy asked the Rockets to drain McGrady's final value, then made a perfect deal, in exchange for some practical players, and then spent money to dig people to form the Big Three to compete for the championship.
