Chapter 173 One More Time!
The failure to keep the championship team is naturally related to salary.
With his worth and his age, who doesn't want a big contract?
Can staying in the Knicks really get a big contract?
The answer is no. When James Dolan saw the contract signed by the "Winning Six", the resentment in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he was only grateful.
If all these people stay, even with the financial resources of the Knicks, there is no way to provide the same contract.
Think about it, the combined salary of Zhao Ke, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, and Billups next season will exceed the salary cap. If you add Artest, Corey Maggette, Kurt Thomas, Chris Anderson, and buy a few more players to fill the vacancy brought by the six retired old guys, the salary cap will be exceeded by at least 2000 million!
Counting the luxury tax to be paid, it is enough to make up two salary caps!
James Dolan would never do that!
It's not that he's really stupid and has a lot of money, it's just that his personality is like this. He doesn't hesitate to throw money at people. As for whether the person who throws money is right, that's the responsibility of the general manager.Bad grades can be entirely blamed on the general manager and the head coach——
The money that should be spent and should not be spent is all spent, what do you want from me?
At worst, he yelled like Chongzhen who was hanged on a tree with a crooked neck: The minister misunderstood me!
Spending money is to give fans confidence and stabilize the ball market, so the Knicks' record in another time and space has no lower limit, but the team has been making money, and the ball market is very good.
Now that they have won all five games in the preseason, it seems that the team has a bright future. Zhao Ke is expected to compete for the scoring champion this season.
The preseason was very exciting, but Yao Bi and Wang Zhizhi, who I am most looking forward to in Greater China, did not have any data. They both went to the Asian Games.
Signed a contract with the Washington Wizards, and tasted the sweetness in the World Championships, the general mentality is completely different from another time and space.From the moment when the World Championships broke the record and won the first medal in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, and was thrown high by the teammates, it was roughly decided that in the future, every game with a national prefix would be crowded. This feeling is so bloody, so worth it!
In another time and space, the Chinese team was reversed by the Bangzi team through black for 30 seconds. The defeat was unclear, and the country was humiliated.
As a result, Wang Zhizhi, who did not return, and coach Wang Fei, who was unable to turn the tide, were blamed. One national name was removed from the name, and the other dismissed get out of class sadly.
But in the current timeline, the Chinese team participated in the Asian Games with the World Championships lineup, won the third place in the world for the first time, led the South Korean team by 30 points at halftime, and finally slaughtered the Bangzi team with 112 points at 69:43!
The men's basketball gold medal is the last gold medal in this Asian Games. In the eager anticipation of the people of the whole country, the Chinese men's basketball team is strong enough to beat the stick, the bones of the country are weak, weeping and weeping, and they have achieved five consecutive Asian Games championships.
After the game, Wang Zhizhi, who scored 45 points, 16 rebounds, 8 blocks and 6 assists, was once again worshiped by the whole team. Against the Bangzi team, Wang Zhizhi has strength, tonnage, height, speed, footwork, basket and terrible defense. It is like a bug.
Wang Zhizhi and Yao Bi returned with great honor, Zhao Ke can only envy and hate him, he is not even counted as a Huaxia person now, let alone entered the national team.
In the final analysis, it is still not powerful enough, and its popularity is too low.Zhao Ke made up his mind, this season must be a shocking statistic!
2002年10月30日，2002-2003赛季NBA常规赛拉开帷幕。
The opening game of the New York Knicks is against the Detroit Pistons at home. Finally, the league has no plans for revenge, and the Lakers don't have to show off across the entire United States.
The first home court of the new season, according to the convention, is to award the championship ring. Ben Wallace is very lucky, he can enjoy this moment of glory with the Knicks players.The other players who left will not be awarded championship rings until they visit Madison Garden in the new season.
After winning the championship after 29 years, the Dolan family attached great importance to it and allocated a huge sum of money to build a championship ring.
The Knicks team logo on the well-crafted championship ring is completely composed of rubies, and 74 diamonds are inlaid on other parts to represent the Knicks' 74 victories last season, including the playoffs.There are 56 diamonds inlaid on the ring setting, representing the Knicks' 56-year history.
The new president of the league, Granik, appeared at Madison Square Garden and personally presented the championship ring to the New York Knicks.
First the management and coaching staff, and then the players.
As the captain, Zhao Ke made a brief speech, very brief but very uplifting: "Thank you to the fans, coaches and uniforms, and teammates. But this is just the beginning, the starting point of a dynasty, so stay tuned!"
Maybe Zhao Ke’s performance in the pre-season game made the fans feel warmer, and the boos that made Zhao Ke worry about it did not come. The fans gave Zhao Ke enough applause and cheered in unison: "One More Time! One More Time! One More Time!" The shouts resounded through the sky!
After the rings are awarded, the game officially begins.
After a month of observation, Jeff Van Gundy finally confirmed the team's starting lineup:
Point Guard: Andre Miller
Shooting guard: Zhao Ke
Small Forward: Matt Halprin
Power Forward: Kurt Thomas
Center: Nene Hilario
Nene Hilario is the only rookie in the starting lineup, because he is the most stable player among the six rookies. Unlike his teammates who came out of the ivory tower, Nene has played in the Brazilian club Vasco Da Gama for several years.
In contrast to the unflappable Jeff Van Gundy, Pistons head coach Rick Carlisle has a happy annoyance --
He doesn't know what to do with the returning Ben Wallace.
Big Ben had been playing power forward before going to the Knicks, but he played the center position with the Knicks and achieved great success.But the other two insiders in the Pistons are all center forwards: Clifford Robinson is 2 meters tall and has performed well as the Pistons' starting center for two consecutive seasons.Serge Brascia is 08 meters tall as a backup center and performed well.
Both of them are taller than Ben Wallace. Letting them play power forward, with Da Ben sitting in the center, is against the law no matter how you look at it. This will almost kill Rick Carlisle, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Ultimately, Rick Carlisle put Clifford Robinson on the bench, fielding this lineup:
Point guard: Chucky Atkins
Shooting Guard: Richard Hamilton
Small Forward: Michael Curry
Power Forward: Ben Wallace
Center: Serge Brascia
Big Ben still appears at the power forward position, and Rick Carlisle is really not ordinary stubborn.
PS: The new season has started, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a collection o(∩_∩)o!
