The Godfather of Basketball
v1 Chapter 95: Sign a contract
火箭 This Rockets team, under his transformation last season, has become a champion division and has a strong team.
Not only in strength, but also in spirit.
慵 The lazy McGrady in the previous impression, the dual-core can not afford to hurt, the poor role player image is no longer there.
A champion is enough to explain everything.
However, Tang Tian knows that the new season is the greater test.
The Celtics Big Three have reinforced Gasol's Lakers. These teams are far stronger than last year's Spurs.
If the Rockets want to defend their title, reinforcement is the only way out.
作为 As a passerby, the draft is undoubtedly the biggest benefit, with low risk and high return.
The Rockets now have two draft picks, one in their first round, the No. 26 pick, and the Bucks, which was acquired by Spanoris during the trade, and the 56th pick in the second round.
The Rockets' second round of the season was traded as early as two years ago, so that's all.
However, according to previous memories, the Rockets will also trade the Sonics' 31st pick, and then the Spurs will trade that pick to Scola.
Tang Tang turned over the Rockets rookie report.
The report in is very detailed, but it is only partial. After all, the season connection is very short. Even if the investigation starts in the middle of the season, it is impossible to have everyone's information.
Tangtian looked for a while, the most detailed of which is Brooks and Landry, it seems that this is Morey's favorite player.
The most interesting thing is Landry. The report says that the height of the joint trial was only 2 meters 01, but when the Rockets did the trial alone, it became 2 meters 06. I do n’t know it is Landry. On the day of the joint trial, I suffered from a stomachache and stooped down, but I ate a quick booster or something within a few days.
But a 2m 06 power forward and a 2m 01 power forward are obviously two concepts.
Tang Tian was very impressed with the "God Bird". At the beginning, he rebounded and hit the front teeth, which was quite tough.
Actually, Divine Bird is much stronger than most people expected. In the last season of the Rockets, the average was 16 + 5. After leaving the Rockets, they scored in double figures for six consecutive seasons and are a very efficient player.
The Rockets power forward last season was Uncle Huo and Novak, two old power forwards, one old and one soft, and it was very good to make it into Landry.
But if Brooks said, Barria is enough. He obviously has a better choice in this position.
"嘚 嘚 ~"
He was watching, and the office door was knocked again.
"Come in."
Tang Tian raised his head and found that it was still Morey who came in.
谈 Can we talk so soon?
对 "By the way, I forgot to tell you. In the days you were away, Michael Pietrus approached me more than once and said he wanted to play for you."
Pietrus?
Tangtian Yiyi, isn't this the Warriors?
At this moment, he remembered the look that Peterus had on him when the Warriors were eliminated.
"He said, playing for you, not for the Rockets, so I think as long as you agree, I will arrange someone to contact him immediately." Morey followed.
Pietrus, nicknamed "French Jordan", of course, is just a nickname, this is a rare top 3D player in the current league, has a stable outside shooting ability, tough under the basket, of course, the most important thing is that the defense ability is particularly excellent It's not bad to be against a superstar.
The Rockets had only Shane defensive point guard last season, but because of speed, the defensive back is more difficult. Now adding a forward swinging Pietrus, the team's defensive strength is definitely up a grade.
This is simply a pie falling from the sky.
"I have no reason to refuse." Tang Tian said with a smile.
Morey nodded, then turned to leave.
Before he could leave, he suddenly turned back and said, "This is your personal charm."
Tang Tian froze for a moment, then laughed.
Personal charm, it seems to be true.
一周 One week before the draft, the Rockets officially announced that they had reached a contract extension agreement with Tang Tian.
In 2 years, the annual salary is 4 million.
In the end, both parties took a step back, but the contract amount did not decrease.
Of course, this is only the basic salary. Like the previous contract, it contains award clauses. If Tang Tian can finally lead the team to defend the title, the amount of this contract can reach 6 million in the first year alone.
Tang Tian's signing also caused a lot of sensation and debate in the alliance.
FOX continued the skeptical attitude of Tang Tian last season, thinking that the Rockets' annual salary is too high. Although the Rockets won last season, it must be known that Tang Tian has not coached as a head coach for a season.
The same example is Lawrence Frank of the Nets. In the first year, he led the team to achieve the second place in the East, and finally reached the Eastern Conference semifinals, but the record after that is not as good as one year.
After all, it is the team's lineup that determines the ultimate performance of a team. The coach of UU reading www.uukanshu.com is only auxiliary, so it is too risky to give the contract.
It is TNT. This time they particularly support the Rockets. They think that the only flaw in this contract is that the duration is short. To know that last season, the Rockets' lineup cannot change to another person. Potential.
PN ESPN, who shares the same views as TNT, thinks that the Rockets made the most correct and luckiest decision. The Rockets will be the champions in the next two years.
From unanimous decline one year ago, to more support than doubt today, in fact Tang Tian has changed many people's views with actual actions.
After a week, the management of each team got on the plane to New York after finishing all the work before the draft.
As in previous years, this year's NBA draft is still held in the theater at Madison Square Garden.
ESPN will also broadcast live to more than 200 countries and regions around the world.
The draft is of great significance to the NBA teams. For the team with a poor record last year, this is their moment to change their destiny. For the powerful, this is a good opportunity for them to Taobao.
But the draft is also a gamble, whether to choose the core of the team or historical parallel imports, all depends on the management's thought.
On June 28, American time, Greg Oden, Kevin Durant, Al Horford, Jeff Green and other popular rookies gathered in the Plaza Garden, waiting for the moment when they were called by name.
Fans from all over the country are also pouring into this theater, looking forward to the moment when the home team chooses their favorite rookie.
The annual draft conference is about to kick off.
