American Fortune Life

In the previous life in the Rabbit Country, even if most of the Rabbit Country people were not basketball fans, they would choose to watch the NBA because of the pride of Dayao, and even regarded the Rockets as their home team. the same.

Without Dayao, to be honest, it is impossible for the NBA to attract so many Rabbit fans. Of course, compared to the previous NBA where they just watched the stars and they moved there. The Rockets are definitely Rabbit people. The most concerned team.

Fans can feel the joy of the team winning and the loss of the team losing. This was not available before. Watching football seems to be watching performances by face-blind black and white stars. Looking at the data of the stars, even if their team loses, as long as the stars they follow perform well, they will not feel lost in the game.

How many people have become Rockets loyalists because of Dayao? The team is about to advance. They can cheer, drink and celebrate, and even stay up late to watch the game.

The Rockets lost, and they complained, black let the Rockets lose the opponent, even if the opponent has a star they liked before, from the perspective of the Rockets, it would be more comfortable to black him.

Andy bought the Rockets. To be honest, a large part of the reason was because of Yao. He also knew very well that Yao would enter a period of frequent injuries in the next few years. At the beginning, he also felt sorry for Yao's retirement.

Speaking of Dayao’s retirement, I have to say that Andy complained about Adelman before. Adelman is indeed a tactical master. There is no doubt that Princeton’s offensive system is also a proven system. Every team in the league More or less can see part of Adelman's offensive system.

The Rockets played a top-five defense in the league in the era of Van Gundy Jr., but their offense was terrible. Andy knew that the Rockets management expected Adelman's Princeton offensive system to bring the Rockets to a new height.

But Andy once saw a statistic that he couldn't tolerate for taking over the Rockets. It was also a characteristic of Adelman's employment. Once a certain player played well on the court, he would always use this player. This is fully reflected in the use of Dayao.

In the previous life, in the 2007-08 season, Dayao's playing time suddenly increased to an astonishing 37.2 minutes, creating a new career high. Moreover, in Adelman's system, the game's offensive rhythm is relatively fast, and the game's offensive rounds have increased a lot. The number of times Yao Ming ran back and forth naturally increased significantly.

Stress Fractures - Just Tiring! In the next three preseason games in 2009, Dayao played more than 38 minutes in each game. It is unimaginable that a hard-working player like Dayao can't stand such a situation.

"I feel that if this is the case, I can't last this season. If I play 40 minutes a game, I won't be able to run. After all, I didn't have a good rest in the summer.

The vacation came earlier last season, and he was still injured in February. "Da Yao once said so bluntly.

In Andy's view, to put it bluntly, Dayao was used by Adelman. Nima, for a cash cow like Dayao, it is said that there is a big market of more than 1 billion behind Dayao. These foreigners don't understand at all. The market behind Dayao is aimed directly at him alone. Changing other Rabbit players will definitely not have the same effect as him. Dayao is playing with the expectations of 1.3 billion people.

Andy will never let this kind of tragedy happen again, and Dayao is loyal, and he will never choose to change teams easily. Andy doesn't have to worry about being poached, so Adelman is awesome, and Andy Absolutely will not let him be the head coach of his own team and kill his cash cow mascot!

Before Granada, the head of his sports investment company, Andy left his office, he said something to Granada that stunned the other party, making Granada think Andy was crazy.

"You have to know it well. After the Rockets' acquisition is completed, this season will end at the latest. While McGrady is still valuable, trade him away for me. Of course, you must maximize the benefits!"

Granada looked at the serious expression of the young big boss with stunned eyes, a little dazed, Nima, that is Tracy McGrady, an NBA superstar, the highlight McGrady moment of 35 seconds and 13 points shocked the basketball world. In the year of the year, he chose to trade. The boss is not crazy, is he?

Of course Andy is not crazy, he knows better than anyone else that McGrady only has one season as a superstar, after that he will be trash McGrady, McGrady makes Andy extremely excited and crazy all the time, but if he doesn't train, he gets hurt and is lazy, He only plays one game back to back, and when he plays the game depends on his mood. He will not spend 23 million a year to support it.

Moreover, the Rockets' locker room has always been a big problem. In terms of fame, McGrady is naturally the boss of the locker room at present, and Dayao is not interested in being the boss, but McGrady is not good at being the boss. This person has serious flaws in his character , The locker room is even more of a mess.

Of course, there is also the connivance of the head coach Adelman. Adelman is the kind of head coach who never intervenes in the locker room culture. When you say you are tired, then rest. When you are not tired and want to play, you will start immediately. If you say you will only play back-to-back, then you will only play one game. You can play whichever game you want in these two games. field.

Adelman went with the flow, but his teammates couldn't take it anymore, and his teammates were in a hurry.

McGrady's popularity is indeed not good. He doesn't like to make friends, doesn't like to talk, and seems to be drowsy all day long. Putting these aside, McGrady doesn't look like a superstar in the locker room. The team earns the most money, more than 20 million U.S. dollars, and it doesn't look like a superstar at all.

Superstars are generally more generous. For example, O'Neal, when he was in the Lakers, got along well with Madsen, and when he was happy, he gave Madsen a Mercedes-Benz; for example, Kobe, Kobe didn't like to make friends, he didn't get close to anyone, and his daughter's teammates didn't come to the full moon. However, after Kobe won the MVP, he gave each teammate a famous watch. Whether you are close or not is another matter, at least you are thinking about your teammates; another example is Marbury, nicknamed "Lone Wolf" in the NBA, but when a rookie joins the team, Marbury also pays for the rookie to buy a suit.

Maddy is not, not at all generous. It's just that he doesn't send anything, he never pays for his meals. It's fine if you don't pay for eating with Dayao, and McGrady doesn't pay for eating with rookies like Brooks and Hyde. Sometimes Uncle Mu is in a hurry, rushing to pay the bill, feeling sorry for Xiao Bu and Hyde. After all, they are all high-end hotels and cost a lot of money. Once, Uncle Mu really got in a hurry with McGrady and said, "McGrady, you have to pay the bill today. You count this season, have you paid the bill?" McGrady was also very upset, stood up and took 200 dollars from his pocket to pay Put it on the table, said: "This is my money." After finishing speaking, he left. For this sake, it can be seen how cold McGrady and his teammates get along.

Moreover, the relationship between Dayao and McGrady is really not as good as fans think. To be honest, they are not even ordinary friends, they can only be said to be team members who play together.

In the 2008-2009 season, McGrady has changed from a superstar to the target of the Rockets. In the locker room before the game, everyone ran on him with one word and one word, regardless of whether he came today or whether he played or not.

A reporter interviewed Yao Ming before the game: "What do you think of today's game?" Dayao said: "You guys wait a moment, I will toss a coin to decide whether I will play today. I will answer your questions after I make a decision. "This is alluding to McGrady.

McGrady always plays when he wants to, and he doesn't if he doesn't want to, and it's all decided before the game starts. Battier said: "Why can we complete the work every day, but McGrady can't?" Alston also said: "I have lived so long, I have never seen such a thing. Before the game, I knew the opponent's starting lineup, but I don't know our own starting lineup." Because I have to wait for Brother Mai, I don't know whether Brother Mai will play or not.

According to many foreign media reports and well-informed sources, the Rockets locker room has almost evolved into a situation of "eating, sleeping, scolding Tracy McGrady" in the end.

In fact, the Rockets had had enough. Unfortunately, McGrady’s reputation was already bad at that time, and the salary was still so high. No one would take advantage of this kind of high-salary and low-energy player who didn’t want to make progress and had no competitive spirit. To put it bluntly , The Rockets hit it in their hands.

In the last year, Andy will let the Rockets drain McGrady's last value, and then make a perfect deal, in exchange for some practical players, and then spend money to poach people, form the Big Three, and compete for the championship.
