Chapter 1,138 The Adventures of Master Long 2 and the Current Situation of Supersonics!

After the NBA free agent market opened on July 1, all the focus was on Rondo.

Mainly to see Rondo's jokes.

The Seattle SuperSonics and the two rookie players selected by the Seattle SuperSonics can come down from the center of the stage.

Compared with Rondo, Antetokounmpo's level is far from enough. As for Gobert...

Who is this kid?

If you are a CBA player, everyone will understand you.

Because of the popularity of Ye Si and Yao Ming in the NBA, basketball has developed very rapidly in China, and now the CBA is very big.

The first choice for many NBA second-tier star players or former first-tier veterans is to go to the CBA. Even many high school players who cannot attend NCAA Division I universities because of poor academic performance will choose to go to the CBA as a springboard before entering the NBA.

Therefore, CBA is still very well-known in the American basketball community, and sometimes you can even see live broadcasts of CBA in the United States.

But if you say you are a European player...

Sorry, apart from professional scouts and professional coaches, not many American fans know him.

Gobert is such a transparent person.

Even many Seattle SuperSonics fans will subconsciously ignore this team's first-round pick this year.

In such a small draft year like this, the second pick is a loser who can't play in the NBA. It's very frustrating. How do you still expect the 26th pick in the first round?

It's better to say goodbye soon.

So, now everyone should happily watch Rondo’s jokes together.

As for the Seattle SuperSonics and Antetokounmpo, everyone is standing aside now.

This melon from Rondo is really too fragrant.

27 years old, at his peak, with no major injuries in his career, the league's scoring, assists, triple-double leader, regular season MVP, finals MVP, and the scoring leader, MVP and FMVP in the same year, ranked in NBA history rankings , it has been ranked as high as 13th, and even when it is the most lonely now, it is still a historical super giant in the top 20 in history.

It's such a player. As soon as these names are revealed and he enters the free market, he will be robbed crazy?

Even Jordan, when he was 27 years old, did not win so many honors and did not enter the top 20 in history!

What would it be like if the 27-year-old Jordan entered the free market?

However, for such a promising player, no team even offered him an olive branch after he entered the free market.

This is quite exciting.

Rondo is actually not without strength.

Although his strength is far less than the salary he received in the Spurs, his historical status and his status in the Spurs, he still has quasi-All-Star level strength.

Although Rondo finished playing in the World Championships and had not yet arrived with the Spurs, Popovich was troubled by him and regretted it. But before Rondo beat Popovich, Popovich still gritted his teeth and let Rondo Played as a starter and core point guard for two years.

In the past two years, Rondo's statistics with the Spurs have been pretty good.

In order to get Rondo, the Spurs sent away Parker and Ginobili, and he was the only one in the team who could take charge.

The ball possession and the data are not impressive.

In order to prove that he is not a parallel import, Rondo is really crazy about playing.

In those two years, Rondo led the Spurs in assists for two seasons that everyone else despaired of. In the 11-12 season, he averaged 11 points and 15 assists per game. In the 12-13 season, he averaged 12 points and 15 assists per game. He retired with the Leafs. After that, no one in the league could compete with his assist data for the assists title.

However, Rondo's outstanding statistics in the past two seasons have brought the Spurs a record of 31 wins and 51 losses and a record of 18 wins and 64 losses respectively.

It gets worse every year.

He has the ball in his hands. In order to get assists on the court, he dares to direct Duncan to stand outside the three-point line to catch the ball and shoot.

Regarding his annual salary and his performance in the SuperSonics, although Popovich regrets it, he still has the slightest hope for him in his heart.

What if he can still be saved?

So in those two years, the Spurs really tolerated him. They didn't dare not tolerate him. They received almost 30 million real money every year, and everyone really had to take care of him.

But this kind of service did not bring about Rondo's enlightenment, his sticky ball, his shooting percentage, tsk tsk...

Not to mention sticking the ball, he was the only one who could control the ball at that time for the Spurs.

But that hit rate...

Especially the three-point shooting rate. When he was with the SuperSonics, Rondo's three-point shooting rate was close to 50%, but when he arrived with the Spurs, he failed directly, with a 24% shooting rate.

Damn it, if someone is defending you, you can throw such a hit rate. It is obviously the same as the Seattle SuperSonics. There is no one defending within three meters. In such an offensive environment, you can actually throw such a hit. Rate,

This makes people despair.

So, in the third season, Popovich finally lost even the last bit of hope and was completely desperate.

Now that we are desperate for Rondo, of course we need to control Rondo's willfulness on the court and ignore the rest of the team in order to get assists.

But this caused Popovich to be beaten by Rondo.

Mr. Long has been under so much pressure recently.

How much Mr. Long wants to prove himself.

Damn it, you are not going to let Mr. Long prove himself. Are you going to take care of Mr. Long? !

I wanted the second master at first, and when I was digging him, it was Xiao Tiantian who kept screaming. Now that the second master is in trouble, what about Mrs. Niu?

It is unbearable!

Eat the iron fist of Erye’s sanctions!

Rondo really hit him. Not only did he hit him, but he also spat at Popovich who was sitting on the ground after knocking him down.

It simply stunned the entire Spurs players, the entire Spurs fans at the ATandT Center, and the entire world in front of the TV.

Even the player on the other side of this game, Chris Paul of the Clippers, was stunned.

He was originally planning to tease Rondo and Black Rondo for this game.

With the ferocity with which he beat Popovich, if he really made Rondo angry in this game, he might be the one who was beaten by Rondo, and he was also the one who was spat on by Rondo.

Popovich just blows the hair dryer on Parker and Ginobili too much, and nothing happens to these two, so Popovich is used to it, and he never expected that Rondo is completely different from Parker and Ginobili. .

If Popovich is a Spurs fan and Rondo beats the fan, then there is no need to think about it. If he beats him so badly, he will definitely be suspended for the season.

But since he is not a fan, no matter how miserable Popovich is, Rondo will only be suspended for twenty games.

Even Rondo appeared on the sidelines earlier than Popovich.

When Rondo returned to the sideline, Popovich was still recuperating in the hospital.

Not only is the body tired, but the mind is also tired.

In all my years of coaching, it has never been so miserable.

During that time, news often broke out that Bowen was holding Popovich in his hospital room and making painful sounds.

Those crying to heaven and earth, those shouting at the top of their lungs, those ghosts crying and wolf howling, they smell sad and those who see it shed tears.

Of course, after Rondo's suspension ended, he could only sit on the sidelines in a suit and listen to the boos. No one would let him play.

He also knew very well that his time with the Spurs was over.

So he didn't plan to play. I don't know if he beat Popovich severely, so he became more and more irritable, but he seemed to be in a calmer mood.

After that, there was no more trouble in the Spurs.

This is of course true. Even Popovich can be beaten up by the Spurs. If anyone dares to make a mistake in front of him, he has no reason to get angry if he doesn't tease him. He's not a dog. Even if he is a dog, he still has to see the telephone pole. What a great talent.

However, even if Rondo never causes trouble with the Spurs again, no one dares to accept him even though he beat Popovich live live around the world.

There have been ruthless people in the NBA, many who hit players and some who hit fans, but Rondo is definitely the only one who hits coaches and acts like the enemy who killed his father.

If such a player is strong, he can hold his nose and admit it, but he is not that strong and his temper is so fierce. He doesn't fight his opponents but only his own coach. Who dares to stop him?

Rondo's situation in the league is very bad now.

Basically there is no place left.

Similarly, his existence has become a clown who only provides laughter to the alliance.

Seeing these people entertaining Rondo like this, treating him like a clown, and thinking about Rondo's experiences with the Spurs and the league in recent years, Ye Si also felt a sigh of relief.

"Rajan still doesn't recognize his own strength."

Presti smiled and shook his head.

But Ye Si couldn't agree.

It's not that Rondo can't recognize his own strength, it's that he is too aware of his own strength.

But now, Rondo should not be so clear about his own strength.

No matter how stubborn you are, no matter how confident you are in your own strength, after three miserable years like this, your stubbornness and self-confidence will probably be smoothed away, right?

Based on Ye Si's understanding of Rondo, there should be confidence and stubbornness, but there should be no sharp edges.

It should be growth or maturity.

After the draft, the Seattle SuperSonics' main goal is to add one or two excellent minimum-salary players in the free market.

But these days, the basic salary can only hire veterans, and the Seattle SuperSonics have never needed a veteran to be a so-called leader.

The SuperSonics players are very proud to their core. They have the perfect leader they recognize, and they don't need anyone to preach to them instead of Yeos.

Although they are not that old, they have experienced a lot of things, and there is no need for seniors to guide them.

Therefore, the basic salary can only sign veterans, but not capable veterans.

The Sonics don't need veterans, which embarrasses both Presti and the Seattle SuperSonics.

There are no players available to the Sonics in free agency.

Compared with the Seattle SuperSonics, the Cavaliers on the other side, the team that the SuperSonics regard as their imaginary enemy, are much more elegant.

James has jumped out of his contract, and DeRozan and Daniel Gibson's contracts have also expired. Neither of them intends to sign with the team immediately. What does this mean?

This is very, very clear.

Just to save the team's space and grab people in the free market!

Anthony, Big Eyebrow, Kevin Love, JaVale McGee, John Wall, Sullinger, Chandler Parsons, these players except Anthony have the maximum salary, Kevin Love and JaVale McGee have annual salaries of tens of millions. The rest are rookie contracts.

The contracts of Anthony, Kevin Love and McGee are 60 million, and the total contracts of the others are less than 20 million.

This means that the Cavaliers still have enough room to sign new players. The salary cap next season is US$102 million, and the luxury tax trigger line next season is US$125 million.

This means that the Cavaliers still have $24 million in space to sign superstar players currently on the free market.

The Cavaliers are already so strong, and with such a large operating space, it makes Presti feel scary just thinking about it.

You know, the Cavaliers still have the Nets' first-round pick next year. What if the Cavaliers win the No. 1 pick again?

The son of the Cavaliers owner is simply terrifying to the general managers of NBA teams like him. He is so red-handed!

No wonder, many experts say that the league belongs to the Cavaliers and James in the next three years.

Many people know that in order to welcome James back, the Cavaliers owner promised James a total luxury tax of over 200 million.

James has returned to the Cavaliers for three years and has not yet started to use this quota. The Cavaliers will only start to pay the luxury tax next season.

Two hundred million is enough for James and the Cavaliers to spend in the next three years.

Although the owner of the Cavaliers does not have as much money as Bill Gates, he is also a willing spender. When James was the Cavaliers, he paid a lot of luxury tax to the Cavaliers.

When he thinks that the Cavaliers will get stronger and stronger in the next three years, Presti feels that he is under a lot of pressure now.

Now that the SuperSonics have solidified their status and have no possibility of operation, the Cavaliers can still continue to devour.

"Yes, if we really can't sign a useful player with a minimum salary, I think it's okay for Rajon to come back. His strength is still good, and he shouldn't be so violent in the SuperSonics."

Presti suggested to Ye Si carefully.

Although he didn't know Yes's attitude towards Rondo, he knew that other Sonics players had a very bad attitude towards Rondo, especially Tucker and Milicic, the Sonics' meritorious veterans.

Therefore, it is useless for him to hope that Rondo will come back. The key is the attitude of Yes.

Only if Yes fights against all odds to bring Rondo back, will the obstacles to Rondo's return completely disappear.

"I will not interfere in this matter about Rajan. I did not interfere when he left, and I will not interfere when he comes back. This is their own matter."

In Presti's expectant eyes, Yesi shook his head expressionlessly.

Seeing Ye Si's attitude, Presti finally sighed inwardly.

On the morning of July 3, after discussing the team's free market strategy with Presti in his office, Yes returned to the team's training facility.

Because he will return next season, Nelson deliberately went to the SuperSonics players to postpone their vacation, and first practiced with the team for half a month to help Yeos find his condition and find a tacit understanding.

So in addition to discussing the team's strategy for next season with Presti in the morning, Yes will go to the team to train with his teammates in the afternoon.

His body has been digitized. Although he hasn't played basketball for three years, as long as his attributes don't drop, his basketball skills will not decline. As for the feeling of the game..., that's what he lacks the most.

Of course, only he knew this, Old Nelson and the others did not.

Moreover, he is also happy to practice together with his teammates. After all, they have not cooperated for so many years, and Ye Si is also very curious about whether everyone's strength has improved.

And this afternoon, when Ye Si came to the training hall, he saw someone who surprised him a little but not that much.

On the sidelines of the training court, Rondo was serving tea and water to this year's newly selected rookie Gobert, and Gobert was trembling all over, as if he felt like he was going to be guillotined at any time.

There is no way, this person who has to serve him now is really scary.

He, a young rookie, really couldn't bear it.

He is also a thorn in Europe, but this is the NBA, and he still knows his level.

In a place like Seattle where there are Hall of Famers and historical stars everywhere, he is just the tiniest rookie.

How can he bear this? Even if Rondo is ridiculed by public opinion and fans, he will still be at the top in basketball history.

He is a basketball great with almost the same historical status as his idol Nowitzki!

He really can't afford to let such a person serve tea and water!

Looking at the shivering Gobert who was being served by him, Mr. Long frowned inwardly. You are just a tool of Mr. Long. What are you thinking about? !

Although he was complaining in his heart, Rondo's smile became brighter on his face, but this smile that seemed bright to Rondo made Gobert even more cautious.

"..."

Looking at the trembling Gobert being served by Rondo in the distance, Yes was speechless.

"Ye, even though Rajan has been gone for a few years, has he not lost his ability to serve others?"

"..."

Looking at Anthony Washington, one of Garfield's two-ball players, Yes still didn't know what to say.

but……

Being able to keep one's posture so low may make people unable to complain, but maybe it really has an effect?

Ye Si looked at the Sonics who were training at this time, but their faces were actually gnashing their teeth, and he thought secretly in his heart.

"Anthony, how about we bully this traitor!"

"No, if we are really served by him, we will be fooled by him!"

Tucker gritted his teeth and refused.

This guy is very sinister.

Seeing how comfortable Gobert was being held down by this traitor, he really missed those days.

Hum, save the country through curves!

"Anthony, I feel that this guy's skills have not only not fallen behind, but also seem to have improved. Could it be that he has never forgotten his roots..."

"Shut up and train!"

I, Anthony Lyon Tucker, JR, will never be tempted by a guy like you!

The more he let himself think about it, the more Tucker felt itchy all over.

Durant looked at the restless Sonics players on the court and then at Rondo, who had a low eyebrow next to him. After glancing with his eyebrows, he faced Leonard's defense in front of him and rushed and retreated directly to meet him. Leonard made a defensive move.

A brush sound...

Looking at the basketball that fell to the ground, although Leonard's face was expressionless, his heart was sinking.

Still the result.

Three years later, the master has come back, but the result is still the same.

One-on-one, lost again...
