Chapter 283 [We don’t play with vulgar things now, only with elegant things]

The Portland Trail Blazers have been trying to redeem themselves over the years, but not very well.

The answer remains the same and the question remains eternal.

Now their leader is Zach Randolph. When this guy first joined the team, the management was very optimistic about him. After all, it is not easy for him to have such a body shape and such a delicate touch.

When Randolph first debuted, he was quite serious and won the Most Improved Player award. However, the atmosphere in the Trail Blazers team is really bad. They are a bunch of smokers, gamblers and manic depressives. Can he learn from this?

This summer, Randolph signed a maximum salary with the Trail Blazers, and he started to mess up.

First he was drag racing, then he discovered that there were leaves and guns in the car, and then he missed all kinds of training sessions, and his weight management gradually got out of control. He started to smoke in the locker room, and he was with Reuben Patterson and Darius Miles. Others are working together.

It's too late for the Blazers management to regret it. This is the first year of Randolph's maximum salary.

In Randolph's situation, no team would be willing to hire him.

The Knicks arrived in Portland, and Suzy was picked up by Nike executives for a tour of the headquarters. The implication behind the words is to ask Su Xi to give up the current contract. Nike is willing to open a new brand for Su Xi, and promises that the investment will not be lower than that of the Fei Ren brand, and will also give Su Xi more dividends.

Su Xi never let go.

This contract is a huge cash cow for Su Xi. If he wins the regular season MVP this year, it will be a huge sum. If he wins again, it will have to be increased.

Philnet took Su Xi's hand and said with great emotion: "Jack, you also know that although you are playing well in the Knicks, the probability of winning the championship is still very small. Besides, I heard Many people think it is difficult for you to make the best team..."

Su Xi's eyes suddenly widened: "Who said that? We now have the best record in the league, and we are running towards the championship."

"this…"

Phil Knight really didn't know how to answer the question. This is a well-known thing, why are you so stubborn? Being tough won't win you a championship.

But he couldn't speak too bluntly, what if Su Xi really won the championship again.

Therefore, he kept emphasizing the great honor of setting up a brand alone, and also talked about paying dividends.

The problem is, Su Xi now has the dividends from the signature shoes.

Therefore, Su Xi is not in a hurry at all.

The establishment of a separate brand must be promoted, but not now. Nike must provide some more cash.

After all... there are still so many start-up companies waiting for angel investment from Su Xi Fund.

Later, Su Xi also said to Phil Knight: "I used my bonus to buy some stocks while Nike's stock price was low. Remember to call me at the next shareholders' meeting. I am very optimistic about Nike's long-term future."

Phil Knight slapped his forehead.

He regrets now, regrets why he was so confident in the first place and gave Su Xi such a bonus contract.

Moreover, who would have thought that Su Xi would win the Finals MVP for two consecutive years after playing in the NBA for two years?

This is something that even with open eyes would not dare to imagine.

Nike is now tied to this contract and is simply working for Su Xi.

If Su Xi continues to stay with the Pacers and continues to win the championship and finals MVP, Nike may have to release several limited edition replicas.

Anyway, Phil Knight felt that his entire brand had become Su Xi’s leek. He takes that contract and can cut it however he wants.

The point is, he can just pat his butt and leave in five years.

Therefore, Nike is now spending a lot of money to establish a separate brand for Su Xi to stop the bleeding and regain the initiative.

Nike once suffered a big loss from Jordan. The reason why they established a separate brand for Jordan and gave him permanent dividends. It's because the shares originally given to Jordan became more and more valuable, and they couldn't bear to part with them. So from then on, they vowed not to give any players shares anymore.

Who knew that Su Xi would stumble again.

Now, they have to swear that they will never sign a betting reward contract with any player again.

...

Susie returned to the hotel and heard that Antonio Davis, Jaylen Rose, Quentin Richardson and others had gone drinking with Trail Blazers players Miles and Zach Randolph.

His eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

Isiah Thomas also felt something was wrong. "You didn't even call me!"

Su Xi rolled her eyes at the smiling assassin.

At this time, Antonio Davis was having a drink with Miles, Randolph, and Patterson. They were playing quite elegantly. In Randolph's mansion, a group of people were drinking, and there were five blonds on the stage. The green-eyed girl was wearing a Chinese cheongsam and dancing to oriental music.

"I just love Chinese culture."

Randolph said.

"You are still at a high level, Randolph. We haven't understood the vulgar things yet, but now you are playing the elegant ones." Jaylen Rose praised him: "We should call Jack over, this is from their side cultural tradition."

Randolph waved his hand and said: "Who doesn't know how to shake your head to electronic music? Just have a head start. However, if you can still find the rhythm and flow while listening to these elegant oriental music, then you will be a real master."

"What does Suzy the Sheep know about Chinese culture? He is an ABC, a child who grew up in the countryside of New Jersey, USA. If I talk to him about this, it will make him cry," Randolph said. "I also discovered this cultural treasure by chance. At that time, I watched a video on YouTube. A woman was holding an instrument and playing loudly. Just when I was about to turn off the video. The camera inadvertently swept away, and I saw The thighs that are slit up to here...are delicate and white, and I realized it at that time."

Randolph talks about his 'YouTube enlightenment' experience.

The two teammates beside him, Reuben Patterson and Miles, were almost tired of hearing it. Apparently, Randolph often spreads this Chinese culture.

"By the way, Quentin, what kind of player is Suzy the Sheep? You guys feel like a changed team recently." Darius Miles asked: "I'm very curious about him. Back then, the Cavaliers were He is a trader. Speaking of it, without me, he would not be what he is now. I feel that after the transaction with him, he stole my life. I should be the one who is so brilliant."

"Ah, yes, yes." Reuben Patterson on the side became angry. "When the little sheep Su Xi didn't join the league, I didn't see you play."

"You don't understand." Miles didn't want to talk to Ruben Patterson. This guy even said he was Kobe's terminator, but he was beaten up by Kobe every time.

Quentin Richardson thought for a while and said seriously: "I think he is a born leader. Somehow, I always want to do something with him when I am with him. Moreover, he did let me fight. It’s better. To be honest, if you hadn’t said that there is Chinese culture here today, I might be studying the technique of triple projection in the hotel room.”

Jaylen Rose nodded with deep understanding: "I originally planned to retire. But after following him, I naturally wanted to fight for the last time. Damn it, I can't win a championship in college, and I can't win in the NBA."

The two sang together and elevated Su Xi's image.

Randolph frowned: "Is it so magical?"

"How can it be so magical?" Antonio Davis waved his hand and said: "No such thing, he just knows how to draw cakes, and he still thinks we can win the championship."

Davis didn't hear Susie's speech because he was injured at the time. Moreover, he felt that his playing time was getting less and less. Tony Barty, David Lee and Channing Frye were all dividing his time, and sometimes asked him to play center, but he didn't like it.

Therefore, he is the only Knicks player whose data has declined and has not received dividends.

"champion?"

Randolph laughed: "That's really interesting."

"It seems that Su Xi, the little sheep, is similar to those managements, who keep trying to paint a pie for you. To be honest, I was excited at first, but later I found that it was not the case. If you play hard, the team will still be bad. This Not one person can change it, so just be kinder to yourself, and you won’t have less money. Life is the most important thing, isn’t it?”

Randolph preached with great certainty, which was also part of his Longchang enlightenment.

At this time, Patterson reminded: "Zach, you have been beautiful for so long. Let these girls take off their cheongsams and come down to drink with us."

Randolph rolled his eyes at Patterson: "You are disrespecting culture. I haven't finished listening to "Guangling San" yet."

...

Isiah Thomas suspended Antonio Davis because he was hungover and couldn't get out of bed when the team gathered the next day.

Quentin Richardson and Jalen Rose were criticized for their education. Although they drank, they were not drunk. Although they were a little vulgar, they were not vulgar.

Isiah Thomas held them to four switchback runs at the Rose Garden. After the run, Isiah Thomas was not in a formal position, so he secretly pulled Quentin and asked him to talk about Chinese culture. He had been playing vulgar things all his life, but he also wanted to be elegant.

Good thing Richardson knows who he is.

The entire team knows the Smiling Assassin as a mascot, external spokesperson and half defensive coach.

Therefore, his lack of formality has little impact.

"You have to hit five three-pointers today."

"You're going to score 8 points on the wing today."

This is a task that Susie gave to Richardson and Jaylen Rose. Only those who perform well can go out to drink wine.

This kind of punishment is another kind of trust for them.

That's why they held themselves in check last night.

If a person does not have a sense of honor in his heart, what is the difference between him and Antonio Davis lying drunk in bed.

beep!

The whistle blows and the game begins.

Su Xi heard the shouts of the audience in the Rose Garden Arena: MVP! MVP! MVP!

The sound was overwhelming.

This is the first time Su Xi heard the MVP cry in an away game this season.

When a city's team becomes completely frustrated with that team, they do this weird thing: rooting for the other team's superstar.

This is a serious blow to the players of this team.

It hurts morale.

This often leads to a vicious cycle, and the situation becomes more serious.

The Knicks' starting lineup tonight is: Suhi, Crawford, Trevor Ariza, Tony Barty, and Eddy Curry.

The Trail Blazers' starting five players are: Marbury's cousin Telfair, Monya, Darius Miles, Zach Randolph, and Przybilla.

Snapped!

Eddy Curry beat Zach Randolph with an easy jump ball.

The two men have similar body shapes, both are obese models. Although Randolph plays power forward and Eddy Curry plays center, tonight, they are facing each other directly.

Suhi dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Crawford.

Crawford easily cut through Monea's defense. When Myers came over, Crawford didn't insist on having his own way, but passed the ball to Ariza.

Ariza was trained by the team to be a 3D player on the bench. He has good defensive talent. Although his shooting is slightly stiff, he has gradually developed some skills.

This is why Su Xi put him in the starting lineup.

Swish!

Ariza hit a three-pointer in the opening game.

"That's right, that's how we fight."

Crawford encouraged Ariza.

Su Xi also nodded in affirmation.

In this kind of competition, more newcomers should be trained.

Back in the day, Zach Randolph singled on Tony Barty.

Randolph's skills are quite delicate, and his center of gravity is very low. This man is not only fat but has no neck, and most importantly, his hands are quite long. This makes his height all effective, and he is very threatening when facing the frame. A tentative step followed by a change of direction, he went to the basket and put the basketball in with his left hand... Su Xi rushed to steal but failed. .

This guy is a left-handed general.

And it can also be played with the right hand.

boom!

His layup missed, and he continued to jump, as if he already knew where the basketball would land. He bumped into Eddy Curry's body and knocked the basketball into the basket.

In one attack, he scored 2 points and 1 frontcourt rebound.

Su Xi's steal also failed.

Talent.

Su Xi couldn't help but admire.

This is truly a talent.

"Don't be so serious, bro. Just lighten up."

Randolph even encouraged Eddy Curry with his dark smile: "Scoring goals and getting rebounds is not the purpose, making yourself happy is the meaning."

Eddy Curry said: Fuck you.

Randolph wasn't angry either, he didn't care.

He is very elegant now and does not want to engage in such vulgar tricks.

Looking back, Su Xi passed the basketball to Eddy Curry, who officially singled out Randolph.

Two dead fat guys collided in the penalty area. Finally, Eddy Curry turned sideways and scored the basketball with a hook.

Eddy Curry's post-up skills are quite good, and combined with his size, they are basically half a trump card. They are an extremely stable way for the Knicks to score points inside.

"I'm not like you. You have no future, and I can still win the championship. You are getting worse day by day, and I am getting better day by day. We are incomparable."

Eddy Curry tilted his head and said proudly.

His tone was very similar to that of the captain in elementary school, and the red scarf on his chest was even brighter.

This proud tone made Randolph quite uncomfortable. He would rather Curry said dirty words.

"Pretending!"

Randolph said calmly.

In fact, he was upset.

Degenerate people are most afraid that someone who was once as depraved as themselves will suddenly make progress, which will make them feel more lost than ever before.

They just want to bring more people to fall together, and don't want their companions to turn around.
