While this matter was going on, Stephen played another game with the Houston Rockets who had just played against each other. The data of 48 points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists helped the team avenge it with [-] to [-].

Yao Ming scored 26 points, twelve rebounds and six assists in this game, but due to Mutombo's injury, he also played 41 minutes in this game, far exceeding his normal playing time Time, in the party after the game, Yao Ming kept rubbing his knees, and Stephen was very worried for him when he saw it.

"It's nothing, it's just that the playing time has been a little longer. I'll just skip training for an hour tomorrow." Although Yao Ming comforted Stephen, he was really anxious in his heart. Mutombo's injury was not the most important thing, but the most important thing. The problem is that McGrady only plays less than three 10 minutes per game.

He can't play for too long, so Yao Ming has to increase the time he stays on the court. With the success of last season, both the management and the fans have put forward higher pursuit of the team's performance, but the team's The current situation is not as good as last season. I don't have a suitable substitute, and McGrady's condition is too bad. Even if I put together again, it won't help. Moreover, I don't dare to work too hard for the summer Olympics.

"By the way, how is your health? You have been playing hard recently. Have you checked in San Antonio?" Yao Ming asked with great concern. Stephen is now a teammate of half of his national team. Whether the team's record can make a breakthrough depends on Stephen and himself.

Although Yao Ming attaches great importance to the current team's record, he also does not let go of the national team. Although playing for the national team cannot bring him any income, it is his foundation after all. He and Tony Parker, Novi The situation in Ski et al. is somewhat the same, but different.

Although several of them are No.1 in the country or the national team, they are very different from Yao Ming in terms of commercial value. On the one hand, the domestic market they are in is already relatively mature and has little development potential. The market, on the other hand, the degree to which nationals attach importance to this sport is also very different.

Yao Ming knows that his commercial value mainly lies in two aspects. One is his unique height. This value is not great, and it is not what Yao Ming likes. I don't want people to focus all their attention on his height. On the other hand, his popularity in the country is the main factor for him to win many commercial endorsements.

Yao Ming didn't know about the negotiations in San Francisco. Although he guessed that the country would definitely give Stephen some compensation, he didn't expect that the compensation would be so high, so he gave compensation exactly as Stephen requested. Compensation is also very necessary .

After Stephen decided to change his nationality, Mordance contacted Stephen's endorsement manufacturers, because although this matter has not been announced yet, the impact will never be small, and these are in the endorsement contract. Clause, if this causes losses to the manufacturer, Stephen will also be responsible for compensation.

On the premise of requiring confidentiality, Mordance is discussing with these manufacturers, and if he thinks there will be no impact, he will continue to implement it. If he thinks it will cause impact, can he terminate the contract in advance, so that there will be no issue of compensation, anyway. The several endorsement contracts on Stephen's body have just been signed, and some have not even officially started, so there will be no problem if the contract is terminated.

Of course, if it is Stephen's request to terminate the contract, Stephen must pay the termination fee. What Modangs has to do is to terminate the contract through friendly negotiation between the two parties. Stephen only needs to return the endorsement fee. very useful.

Most of these endorsement contracts carried by Stephen are not a problem, because they are looking at Stephen's influence in Asia. If Stephen changes his nationality, the effect may be better, and finally after communication , only the Chrysler family wants to terminate the contract early, just as their promotion work has just begun, and it is still too late to terminate the contract.

The two parties terminated the contract in a friendly atmosphere, because Chrysler is mainly targeting the North American market. If Stephen changes his nationality, it is very likely to have an unpredictable impact on Chrysler. Chrysler is unwilling to take this risk, but they have no plans Embarrassing Stephen, the contract was terminated smoothly.

After rescinding the contract with Chrysler, although Stephen returned the endorsement fee to Chrysler, the two cars that Chrysler gave to Stephen were not taken back, but Stephen did not intend to drive their cars anymore. Stephen didn't like Chrysler at first. Brand, Stephen immediately exchanged his own two cars for a Cadillac for Coupard.

Cadillac is a brand under GM, but Stephen prefers Ford, but now Stephen doesn't plan to change the car in a hurry, because he doesn't know which brand he will sign with, so it's better not to be in a hurry for the time being.

Although Stephen likes the Ford brand, among the three car companies Ford, GM, and Chrysler, Ford is the least sincere one, so even if Stephen likes it in his heart, he can only give up this brand.

The termination of the contract with Chrysler was silent, and Modans did not inform GM or Ford of this news, but during the domestic negotiations with China, Modans told them the news, meaning to let them see that their own One party has indeed suffered a loss. You see, this matter has not been announced yet, and the contract has been terminated here.

But for some reason, the news was found by the Ford China company, and then passed back to the US headquarters. After confirming the news to Mordance, the Ford headquarters' interest in Stephen immediately increased. one level.

With the major auto markets in North America, Europe, and Japan already saturated, no auto company dares to ignore the huge Chinese market that has turned from the future into a reality. Even Chrysler has not thought about opening up the Chinese market. But it hasn't started yet.

As for Ford, looking at GM making a lot of money in China, they are naturally envious and jealous, but this is the case with many things. If you are slow, you will lose the opportunity, and you need to redouble your efforts to catch up with the laggards. , Ford also attaches great importance to the Chinese market, but the development is not smooth.

After hearing the news, they also did some research and found that if they choose Stephen, it may be a good way, and it will be very helpful for opening up the Chinese market. However, Ford decided to observe the specific situation for a period of time. Take a look before making a decision, but the cooperation intention has been sent to Mordance.

After sending Yao Ming away, the Supersonics ushered in the challenge of the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are considered a strong team in the East, but they are not enough in the West. They were defeated by the Supersonics by [-] points. It was easily won, but the process of the game was not so smooth.

In this game, Marvin Williams, the No. [-] pick who entered the league in the same year as Stephen, may have been stimulated by Stephen and had a big explosion. In the first half of the game, Stephen had been defending the Eagles' boss Joe Johnson, while Marvin Williams was guarded by Durant.

But in the case of basically the same height, Durant's defense against Marvin Williams was not successful at all. Marvin Williams scored [-] points, and he only scored [-] points. Also lagging behind the opponent by eleven points.

In the second half, Marvin Williams scored six points in a row, so Stephen had to switch over and defend Marvin Williams himself. Stephen's defense was naturally different, but the coach of the Eagles adjusted the lineup to one at this time. In the lineup of seniors and juniors, Stephen defended Marvin Williams, but Josh Smith began to show off.

If it hadn't been for the consecutive three-pointers of Stephen and Kurt Thomas to overtake the score at the last moment, the Sonics would have lost the game. Marvin Williams scored 36 points in this game, the highest score in his career. The highest score, you must know that he averaged only [-] points per game this season.

It would be a lie to say that the Eagles have no regrets when they see Stephen now. They are the ones who made the biggest mistake in missing Stephen, because they were the ones who chose Stephen and made a trade with the Spurs. Of course, they also chose Stephen in response to the Spurs. They didn't intend to choose Stephen, because the draft rights cannot be traded, they can only be selected, and then trade the player to the Spurs.

Marvin Williams, who was selected with the second pick, can only be described as mediocre, but among the four North Carolina juniors, his performance is already considered relatively good. Both McCants and Sean May are trapped by injuries. Who would have thought that The "North Carolina Four" who are popular in the university league turned out to be such an ending.

This fully proves the uncertainty of the draft, but Marvin Williams was able to score 36 points in this game, which shows that his potential is still not fully explored, which makes the Hawks' interest in Marvin Williams There is a little more expectation in the performance, and some players are like this. After a game is enlightened, the whole person is different.

Unfortunately, in Game [-] against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Marvin Williams scored just six points in a situation where the Timberwolves didn't have a decent defense after the coach increased his playing time. Also let the Eagles lose the game.

At this time, the Sonics also lost the game, and the opponent who defeated them was also a weak team. The Sacramento Kings ranked No.13 in the West, which was only a little better than the Timberwolves. The team assisted more than five times, and the Princeton system played its fullest on them.
