Chapter 75 Isn’t this enough?
Wang Hao does need a sum of money, not a small amount of money to improve his life, but a large sum of money.
Improving life is just that for him!
Unless you are enjoying it in a lavish way, that's it.
He is a professional athlete, he will definitely not waste himself, and he does not need to enjoy it too much.
As for improving living conditions?
To be honest, Wang Hao is a little unsure. He doesn't know if he can still stay in Seattle next year.
After all, he only has a one-year contract with the Sonics, who knows what will happen next year?
Moreover, in the next seven or eight years, the Sonics changed hands several times and even moved to Oklahoma.
The team is in such turmoil, that's not a good thing.
Wang Hao thought very clearly that no matter what, it would not be too late to wait until next year to make a decision.
The main reason why he needs money is that he doesn't want to miss an opportunity to make a fortune.
Why should you consider buying a house?
Isn't it just because I don't have money? If I had money, there would be nothing to consider and I would just buy it by the building.
You can buy it in Seattle, you can buy it in Los Angeles, you can buy it in Beijing, and you can buy it in Shanghai.
Wang Hao didn't understand investing, but he didn't forget those important things.
For example, next year's Internet bubble, the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007, and those stocks that can make money just by sitting down.
Although he is an athlete and has no intention of entering the shopping mall, if he doesn't make money, then wouldn't he be a bastard?
Kobe and James, who has not invested?
Kobe's investment company, James' pizza chain, and the life of a star cannot really only consist of basketball.
What's more, Wang Hao plans to follow Mr. Qiao's example and buy a basketball team after he retires in the future.
If you don't work hard to make money now, what will you buy in the future? If you buy it back, you can only dig and search like Mr. Qiao.
Of course, these are just side effects. Jeff Schwartz can handle commercial endorsements, and Wang Hao can just play with peace of mind.
After two consecutive victories, the Sonics' team atmosphere is good, but it still needs to be maintained.
Gary Payton was still having sex with Vernon Maxwell, which made Wang Hao feel awkward.
As for Vin Baker, regardless of what happened on the basketball court, this guy is considered a good guy.
Because he invited Wang Hao to drink.
Being under the legal drinking age, having a glass of beer is a luxury and is too uncomfortable.
…
After a day's rest, the Sonics once again faced the challenge of their opponent, the Utah Jazz.
This can be regarded as the strongest opponent the Sonics have encountered since the new season.
Today's Jazz are still recognized as a strong team in the Western Conference, with a playoff spot firmly within their grasp.
As long as John Stockton can still play and as long as Karl Malone is still strong, they will be a strong team in the NBA.
However, with the current lineup, it is obviously impossible for the Jazz to still compete for the championship.
John Stockton is nearly 38 years old. How much gas does he still have in the tank? Although Karl Malone is still strong, he can't stand alone.
As for teammates, there are only a few people who can help.
However, even if today's Jazz team lives up to the past, this is still a huge challenge for the SuperSonics.
November 6, Key Arena, Seattle.
On the field, players from both sides each occupied a half of the court and were warming up, but someone started chatting in the middle.
Gary Payton and Karl Malone, as the leaders of the Western Conference teams, naturally know each other.
Not only do they know each other, but they also have a good relationship in private.
Otherwise, Karl Malone would not be suspected in the future because of Payton's excellent physical condition.
Wang Hao looked at the two people chatting happily, but he felt clear in his heart, this is brother basketball again?
It is said that O'Neal has a good relationship with both of them. No wonder there will be such a thing as F4 in the future.
"King, cheer up, these guys are not easy to deal with!"
"clear!"
Seeing Gary Payton's serious look, he also understood that today's game would not be easy.
Sure enough, as soon as the game started, the Jazz showed everyone what the ancestral pick-and-roll tactic is.
As one of the many tactical systems in the NBA, the pick-and-roll is extremely simple and clear.
But when you have a super defender and a super inside man, a passing expert and a super scorer, you can definitely scare your opponents.
John Stockton is getting older, but his passing is becoming more and more charming, and he can always seize the most appropriate time.
Facing Gary Payton's defense, John Stockton would never force himself, and he was quite a bit of a pushover.
However, it's not like he never attacks, he will keep scoring so that his opponents don't dare to let him go.
As for Karl Malone, he is extremely powerful.
After the pick-and-roll is over, whether it is squeezing into the inside or stretching to the mid-range outside.
He can score the ball in any way.
As a defensive expert, Horace Grant's restrictions on Karl Malone are extremely limited.
Karl Malone has never been a player who only uses his body to play, his skills are equally superb.
If the defense cannot limit the opponent, then it can only attack.
Vin Baker and Gary Payton took turns entering the paint, catching Alden and John Stockton strong.
Alton Polynice has physical talent and confrontation, but his defense is a bit rough and he can't guard against Vin Baker.
As for John Stockton, he is too old to withstand the ravages of Gary Payton.
Jerry Sloan basically doesn't play John Stockton for more than 30 minutes these days.
In addition to ensuring John Stockton's health and fitness, defense is also a big issue.
Boxing is afraid of young people!
Not to mention, the Sonics also have Wang Hao, Vernon Maxwell, Brent Barry and other scorers.
The game was very lively, but the score was not high.
Because the Jazz have been pressing the tempo, which is normal for a team with super insiders.
The game entered the fourth quarter, with 2 minutes and 36 seconds left, and the score between the two sides was only 90:90.
The Sonics have only taken 75 shots in the entire game so far, which is much less than before.
In the last game against the Mavericks, the Sonics took more than 100 shots, and the gap was a bit obvious.
The decisive battle was about to enter the last two minutes, and Paul Westphal called a timeout to make final tactical arrangements.
The ball is in the hands of the SuperSonics. This time, they have to score no matter what to ensure their advantage.
"Everyone pull away, Gary, you go into the low post, and you're in charge of this offense.
Horace, and Wen, you guys remember to cover Wang, Wang, you need to run more actively!"
…
Anyone with a discerning eye will know immediately that the core of this tactical arrangement is Gary Payton and Wang Hao.
Why should a rookie be placed together with the team's superstar and in the same position?
Of course it’s because of Wang Hao’s performance!
In this game, Wang Hao scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal in the first 32 minutes of the game.
20+10 for the first time in his career. More importantly, he hit 5 three-pointers today, helping the team open up the inside space.
Isn't this performance enough?
