Chapter 370 The Rockets Championship!
In addition, Terry Gerrard has the status of Xu Lang and Yi Jianlian's old teammates, which also makes him have a certain fan base in China, and it is very likely to drive the team's stadium attendance!
After all, in recent years, there have been many NCAA players who failed to enter the NBA, relying on the status of Xu Lang's teammates or opponents to earn millions in China every year!
In contrast, Wang Sihua, another hero of the University of Washington's three consecutive championships, is relatively much better in terms of draft prospects.

Although, his draft pick has just reached the top of the second round, but at least he can be selected and has a chance to enter the NBA!
It's just that Wang Sihua himself doesn't particularly like being a professional player. After all, Wang Sihua didn't join the Huskies team himself on his own initiative!
I still remember that Wang Sihua back then was just planning to come to play with his roommates, but later Wang Sihua was forced to join the Huskies team, and it was more to be able to use the Huskies team’s fitness facilities for free!

As for later, it was more of an accident to start a three-year extravagant life as a player of the Huskies!

For Wang Sihua, he would rather be a psychological counselor than an extremely unstable professional basketball player.

Therefore, although Wang Sihua has been at the forefront of the second round in the draft list for the past few years.

But Wang Sihua has never planned to run for election.

This year is the same. Although Wang Sihua is already a junior, and if it is delayed for another year, Wang Sihua's draft pick is likely to decline, but he still has no intention of participating in the election.

At least, Xu Lang heard from Coach Romar that Wang Sihua planned to stop playing basketball after finishing college, and to pursue a career as a psychological counselor like a normal psychology graduate. .

Of course, it's hard to say whether this is good or bad. Everyone's life should be decided by everyone.

In Xu Lang's view, Wang Sihua, who has stopped improving after reaching the peak of C-level overall rating, may indeed not be suitable to become a professional basketball player.

On the one hand, Wang Sihua is not at all like Terry Gerrard, who regards basketball as a very passionate thing!

Secondly, with Wang Sihua's strength and potential, even if he enters the NBA, there is a high probability that he can only be a drinking fountain player!
Of course, although Wang Sihua didn't plan to continue playing, Xu Lang would still scold him when he had a lottery draw.

In the end, Xu Lang stayed at the University of Washington for a day. After helping the three newcomers of the University of Washington to issue a player training report, he returned to Atlanta to complete the finishing work before returning to the national team!

"Old Mu, do you want to wait another year?"

Looking at the veteran in front of him whose official age is almost 42 years old, and his real age may even be 50, Mike Woodson sincerely persuaded him.

Just listening to Mike Woodson's persuasion, Uncle Mu smiled gently.

"No coach, I've reached this age, I really can't move.

In addition, the two young insiders of our team have also grown up, and I don’t need this old guy very much, so I will stay in the team and occupy the latrines without shitting! "

Listening to Uncle Mu's answer, Mike Woodson suddenly didn't know what to say.

After all, Uncle Mu is really old. During the regular season last season, Uncle Mu basically didn't play much. No matter how you look at it, it is indeed time for Uncle Mu to retire!

At this time, Xu Lang, who was sitting beside him without speaking, looked up at Uncle Mu and Mike Woodson, and said softly.

"Believe me, next year we will definitely win the championship."

Listening to Xu Lang's declaration of winning the championship, Uncle Mu subconsciously wanted to be perfunctory and continue to insist on his retirement remarks.

But when Uncle Mu looked up at Xu Lang's firm and sincere eyes, he suddenly wavered a little.

As a player who has played in this league for 17 years, Uncle Mu naturally also wants to win a championship as a player.

It's just that sometimes fate is like this, and some players may be destined to have no championship in their careers.

Especially when Uncle Mu has just been traded to the Eagles, the Rockets have entered the Finals this year and have a high probability of winning this year.

It also made Uncle Mu believe that he is a player who is destined not to have a championship in his career.

But looking at the sincere Xu Lang, Uncle Mu thought about all the miraculous performances that Xu Lang had brought to the NBA in the past two years.

His heart was suddenly shaken. Although Xu Lang had just entered his second year in the NBA, he hadn't even finished his rookie period yet.

Although the Eagles are a team that has just completed reconstruction, although most of the core players of the Eagles are under the age of 25!
Wait, wait, Uncle Mu can find countless reasons to refute Xu Lang's declaration of winning the championship!

However, Uncle Mu looked at Xu Lang, and after being silent for dozens of seconds, he didn't say anything. He picked up a pen and signed his name on the one-year veteran's basic salary contract that Mike Woodson had prepared for him.

Looking at the back of Uncle Mu who left, Mike Woodson breathed a sigh of relief.

"How about it, is your coach willing to come!"

Speaking of which, Mike Woodson turned to look at Xu Lang!

"I didn't ask!"

Xu Lang replied very calmly!
Looking at the indifferent Xu Lang, Mike Woodson also shrugged!

"I don't think I will come. I have the opportunity to be the head coach of an NBA team. How can I be an assistant coach!"

Since the end of the Eastern Conference Finals, Mike Woodson has been busy solving the contract issues of some existing players of the Eagles, such as Uncle Mu's veteran contract, such as Josh Childress' contract extension!

As for asking Xu Lang to ask Romar if he would like to come to the Eagles as an assistant coach, it's just a matter of convenience, what if it happens!

As early as last year's offseason, the Hawks wanted to renew Josh Childress early.

It's just that I don't know what kind of considerations Josh Childress' agent and himself are based on, and they have never agreed to the Eagles' invitation to renew their contract in advance.

Instead, it was delayed until after the Eastern Conference Finals that the player contract renewal negotiations with the Eagles began.

There is no doubt that because the Eagles are a rebuilding team, most of the main players in the team are in their rookie period, so the salary space of the Eagles remains within a very healthy range!
Especially after the Eastern Conference finals, Szczerbiak gave up his contract of nearly 1400 million in the last year.

After re-signing a four-year 4000 million year-by-year contract with the Eagles, the Eagles' salary space was further released.

Then Josh Childress' agent made a big opening at this moment and directly asked the Eagles for a five-year 6500 million contract for Josh Childress.

Obviously, Josh Childress, who is the sixth man in the Eagles' team positioning, is impossible for the Eagles management to pay a contract with an annual salary of more than [-] million.

After all, in the entire NBA so far, the only player who has allowed an NBA team to offer a contract of tens of millions to a substitute player is Ginobili.

Even the new contract extension that Ginobili just signed this year is only a four-year contract of about 4700 million.

Moreover, although Xu Lang and others are still in the rookie period, starting from next season, the Eagles need to enter the cycle of renewing the second contract of several core rookie players!

Now give Josh Childress a tens of millions of contracts, then what kind of contracts should we give Marc Gasol and Darko Milicic!

Therefore, for the contract salary proposed by Josh Childress' agent, the Eagles management rejected it without any hesitation!
Fortunately, Josh Childress himself is relatively clear-headed, knowing that such a contract request from his agent is asking for a lot of money.

After all, as a player, it is always a pleasure to get more salary!

Therefore, during the negotiation process in the next few days, when the Eagles offered a five-year 4700 million contract, Josh Childress did not listen to his agent's opinion that he still wanted to negotiate, and directly accepted it. Eagles contract extension.

At the same time, it is precisely because the Eagles management has the salary space, but strictly controls the player contract price!

After the Eagles completed the renewal of most of the players in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, there is still a salary space close to the middle class.

"Xu, do you think we should sign another center forward, or how about strengthening the small forward position? After all, Szczerbiak is not young anymore!"

Hearing Mike Woodson's question, Xu Lang looked at the current lineup of the Eagles.After hesitating for two seconds, he shook his head and said.

"It's not necessary. The current lineup is just right. Adding a new player in may not necessarily have playing time. Looking back may destroy the current team's good chemistry and team atmosphere!"

"That's right, that's fine, let's leave the player lineup like this first. By the way, there is one more thing. We still have two first-round and one second-round draft picks available this year. You have a good vision and help screen a few draft picks." s Choice."

Speaking of which, Mike Woodson handed over a bunch of player reports for this year's election to Xu Lang!
Xu Lang scratched his head when he saw the Eagles' draft pick for this year handed over by Mike Woodson!

A 08 first-round pick from the Celtics, a 08 first-round pick from the Hawks, and a 08 second-round pick from the Rockets.

How do you look at it, judging from the record of these teams this season, it is impossible for these draft picks to have a good pick!
Fortunately, recently, because of paying attention to Kevin Love's draft prospects, Xu Lang has also learned about some of the players participating in this year's draft. After systematic detection, he learned about the strength and potential of some players.

It's just that the Eagles' draft picks, whether it's the first-round pick or the second-round pick, are too late.

Directly, Xu Lang detected through the system, and several candidates with the potential to reach b+ level or above were automatically excluded!

After all, although Xu Lang knows that some players have high potential and are very strong.

But I also know that it is impossible to select these players with a draft pick like the Hawks.

So after combining the draft prospects of some players and the Hawks' existing first-round picks, Xu Lang finally helped the Eagles delineate a few players from B- to B-level players!

Although the Eagles' first-round picks are late, it is still very easy to determine a few candidates!
After all, even though they were the first-to-last and second-to-last first-round picks, they were still the first round after all!After all, there is still a lot of room for choice.

And when Xu Lang looked at the Rockets' 29th pick in the second round and the 59th overall pick in the second round, Xu Lang felt a little bit in trouble.

Originally, Xu Lang didn't need to worry about this pick. After all, Terry Gerrard was there, so this second-round pick was originally prepared for Terry Gerrard.

However, after Xu Lang communicated with Terry Gerrard, the second-round draft pick was finally vacated again.

On the one hand, Terry Gerrard himself does not want to enter the NBA like this!

On the other hand, Xu Lang also considered Terry Gerrard's physical condition. Even if he was selected to the Eagles, there was a high probability that he would not be able to play.

For Terry Gerrard, what he yearns for and likes is the feeling of playing the game, rather than hoping to be in the NBA, like he was in the University of Washington football team, always sitting on the bench as an atmosphere group.

It's just that after Terry Gerrard didn't want the Eagles' second-round pick, Xu Lang looked around and didn't find a second-round pick that was particularly worth signing.

After all, the second-round pick of the Eagles is too late. In addition, the Eagles themselves have too many rookie players. Quota!
So in the end, after much deliberation, Xu Lang felt that it would be better to just trade this second-round pick and exchange it for hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash for the Eagles.

So in the end, Xu Lang didn't give the Eagles a second-round draft pick. Instead, he directly suggested to Mike Woodson that if the coaching staff had someone they wanted to sign, they should use this second-round pick.

If there is no one who wants to sign, it is better to trade it out in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, which just makes up for the $50 fine that the Eagles paid for Xu Lang!
After settling the affairs of the Eagles team, Xu Lang played with Liu Yifei for a few more days before sending him to the airport in Los Angeles to let him return home first.

After all, as a popular domestic actress who became popular with "The King of Kung Fu", Liu Yifei is also very busy.

After sending Liu Yifei away, Xu Lang then waited for the final results of the Rockets and Celtics, and then checked the time and situation to see if he should return to China with Yao Ming.

"Brother Yao, you are still strong."

Seeing Yao Ming, who played 30+10 data in less than three quarters, Yi Jianlian couldn't help but sigh with emotion!
This day is already the sixth game of the Finals between the Rockets and the Celtics. In the first five games, the Rockets took the lead in winning the match point with a big score of 3:2.

So this game is basically a battle of life and death for the Celtics.

It has to be said that although Mark Blunt is the weakest of the Celtics' five starting players, his role in the entire Celtics tactical system is still not small.

Especially on the defensive end, Mark Blunt has always been one of the Celtics' most trusted inside barriers.

So, after Mark Blunt was sent directly to the hospital by Xu Lang, and then he was reimbursed for the season.

The overall strength evaluation of the Celtics team has been directly raised from the position of 97 to the level of 96.

And most importantly, after the Celtics lost Mark Blunt.

The originally slightly weak inside reserves are even more stretched.

In addition, the Celtics faced in the finals, the Rockets, the team with the league's first center.

In the first two games where the Celtics came up directly, the Rockets hammered the inside line to pieces.

In the first two games, the Rockets won the game with a 14-point and 18-point lead, respectively, after clocking out of get off work in three quarters.

The two big-score victories gave the Rockets momentum, and just when everyone thought that this year's finals was likely to become a sweeping battle.

Back at home, the Celtics began to catch up, relying on home court advantage, abruptly snatched two victories from the Rockets.

It's just that what makes many fans feel uncomfortable is that the Celtics relied on the referee's whistle in these two games.

One made McGrady have a foul crisis, and the other caused Yao Ming to have a foul opportunity, and they barely won the game.

However, the hard power gap between the two teams is still very large, so it is time for the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

After the referee began to whistle normally, the Rockets once again won the battle of Tianwangshan with a 16-point lead.

As for the sixth game that is currently going on, the Celtics originally wanted to continue to rely on the referee's advantage to entrust this round of the series to the tiebreaker.

As a result, the referee's whistle in this game was suddenly not biased. Although the referee also did not have the corresponding home care of the Rockets, it was enough for the Rockets!

In addition to this game, McGrady and Yao Ming broke out in scoring at the same time. They scored 30+10 in less than three quarters, and 27+5+5 in less than three quarters!
Then, at the end of the three quarters, the game had already begun to faintly enter garbage time.

At the end of the three quarters, the Rockets had already achieved a 13-point lead, and the game was just over halfway through the fourth quarter.

After Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady jointly led the Rockets to a 10:3 scoring climax, the Rockets' lead officially broke through 20 points.

This also indicates that the game has officially entered garbage time.

At the end of the whole game, the Rockets won the sixth game with a 23-point lead, and at the same time won the championship trophy of the 4 NBA Finals with a big score of 2:2008.
