Nba: Body Of Steel, Reshape The Glory Of The Green Army

Chapter 10 There Are Not Many Numbers To Choose From

Auerbach naturally knows what Walker has done, but he is not ready to control it, the gun is the first shot, you Antoine Walker wants to be the boss, then let you be the first to have fun, just to be the target for Lin Long , attracting firepower.

In case of a bad start to the season...

hey-hey.

Auerbach's mouth leaked a sly smile.

At that time, the "team boss" will be the first to operate!

The training camp went on quickly and smoothly.

Except for three high-ranking first- and second-year rookies on this Celtics team, the rest of the players are either wandering veterans or undrafted players with nowhere to go.

These wanderers are very self-aware of who they are.

In addition, Lin Long has no intention of fighting with Walker for the so-called boss, and Billups sees his eldest brother not coming out, and he is honest, so the atmosphere in the entire Celtics team is also very harmonious.

In particular, although Walker is perverse, he also has the usual generosity and generosity of black players towards his teammates. During the training camp, several parties and parties were organized to enhance the cohesion of the team.

Days before training camp ended, Bird suddenly grabbed Lin Long and Billups.

In a few days, the league's unified media day will not only take a lot of photos and videos for later publicity, but also a small press conference for the team's new recruits.

And so far, Lin Long and Billups' jersey numbers have not been determined yet.

"I like size one," Billups said. "I always wear one."

Bird looked at Billups as if he was mentally retarded and said, "Chancey, you've always been the smartest, but before you speak, can you look up and see that No. 1 belongs to our first boss, Walter Brown."

"The number 3?" Billups continued. "The number 3 is also my favorite."

"Did you do it on purpose?"

Bird rolled his eyes: "I said look up! Number 3 belongs to Dennis Johnson."

Billups sighed:

"I thought you'd forget, Larry, or you could accommodate me, No. 4, I'll choose No. 4."

"If you can bring a championship or MVP to the team, I can go to Dennis Johnson to discuss temporarily taking down the No. 3 jersey for you. As for No. 1, go down and tell him if you want."

Bird told a cold joke, but also recorded Billups' No. 4 in the book.

"What about you? What size is Lin going to wear?"

Lin Long looked up at the full ceiling. Now the league only allows numbers from 0 to 55, and all numbers above 55 must be fined first. Lin Long is not so generous.

But of the more than 50 numbers from 0 to 55, the Celtics retired 21! A full half! Coupled with the numbers behind more than a dozen active players, Lin Long's options are not very large.

"Number 5."

Lin Long thought for a while. He was wearing size 8 in ucla, but it was already occupied by Walker. The second favorite size, size 7, was also worn by Di Brown, so they could only hurt each other and let another one 10 years ahead of schedule. A possible all-round striker with no size to wear.

Bird continued: "Except for the number, it's your contract. Unfortunately, you entered the league two years late, so you can't just sign it at random."

"But don't worry, the team has decided to give you the highest-level rookie contract in accordance with the rules of the league! Two-year guarantee, two-year team option, both the amount and the duration are the best match. You just need to sign it. "

Bird said the sky-high asking price, of course, refers to the 1994 No. 1 overall pick Glenn Robinson! After entering the league, Big Dog made a crazy asking price and proposed a crazy amount of 100 million to the team. Although the Bucks did not agree in the end, they also signed an amazing 10-year 68 million contract with Robinson after some bargaining!

This is 1994, and the annual salary of 6.8 million is enough to disdain 99% of the players in this league, which is more than that of many superstars!

It is for this reason that the league introduced strict rookie contract rules in 1995.

Prohibit rookies from asking for more, causing dissatisfaction and jealousy among superstars.

And now in 1997, Billups, the No. 3 pick, signed a three-year, $8.22 million rookie contract.

Lin Long, the No. 6 pick, came a little short, with a three-year, $6.1 million contract.

Both are fully guaranteed for the first two years, and the team has an option for the third year. The Celtics' management is also generous, and they are indeed the highest-level contracts they can get with their current draft.

After Bird finished speaking, he turned and returned to the office.

The season is about to start. He, the chief assistant coach, has a lot of work and has been busy for a long time. He wished his parents had two more hands.

The last time he had this kind of impulse was when he was besieged by four girls at the Gold Club in Atlanta City, and it was hard to resist.

It's easier to be a player.

Bird sighed and re-planned various matters for the new season.

The so-called media day is the day when each NBA team officially debuts to the media and fans in the new season.

All media reporters will come to interview.

All the personnel of this team, coaches, managers and even owners and cheerleaders will be in attendance.

In particular, many new players, whether they are rookies or veterans, stars or ordinary rotation players, will officially meet with fans and local media on this day to establish some preliminary relationships and win their love and support.

Players will take a lot of photos. Some rotating players and marginal teams are fine, and they can go home early, but if they are star players, potential rookies, players and teams that are the core of the topic, they are likely to be entangled by the media. For a whole day, the skin of the mouth had to be thinned to get out.

The Bulls chasing three consecutive championships, the Jazz, SuperSonics, Rockets and other teams that continue to challenge the championship, the Lakers and Knicks who are always the most eye-catching, these teams and their stars are the favorites among the favorites.

The Celtics are such a team.

It's just that their players are very laid back and only have a few routine questions to answer.

But their head coach Auerbach and chief assistant Larry Bird were surrounded by layers of reporters, all kinds of questions one after another, without the slightest breathing space.
