All-Around Forward Swingman

This is the confidence of a meritorious coach. With nine championships by his side, he doesn't have to worry about finding a job.

Just as he was thinking wildly, the second quarter ended.

Yang Shan made 11 of 11 shots in a single quarter, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 30 points in a single quarter.

In contrast to the Lakers, the highest scorer was Lamar Odom's 8 points, and the other players added up to 12 points. In a single quarter, the Rockets led the Rockets by 23 points 43:2 "867" 0. The Rockets entered the second half with a total score of 67:43 leading the Lakers by 24 points.

In the second half of the game, McGrady stood up and took over the game. Without Kobe's starting lineup, the Lakers couldn't even play the Rockets' substitute, let alone start.

It's just that the Rockets didn't defend much in the second half, and their play was worse than their performance.

In the end, the Rockets ended the game with 138:119.

In addition to Yang Shan's 30 points in a single quarter, McGrady made 15 of 22 shots, including 8 of 11 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 41 points and sent 6 assists.

At the end of this game, the Rockets' winning streak has increased to 65 games. After 44 consecutive victories, they have achieved 21 consecutive victories unknowingly!

Although he has a house in Los Angeles, Yang Shan returned to the hotel where the team rented. After all, he will return to Houston with the team tomorrow.

Early the next morning, when we ate at the hotel restaurant, Maddy was very happy with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations to TMC, you won the player of the week." Battier came in and said to Tracy McGrady.

Everyone quickly congratulated him.

"It's all thanks to everyone. I'll treat everyone to dinner when I go back tonight." Maddy said modestly, but was actually very happy.

This is the first time he has won the player of the week this season. In fact, this is also the first time in the West that Yang Shan has not won the player of the week. He was all the players before.

But Yang Shan is also happy for McGrady. He can get back to his form.

In the NBA regular season, many teams will recharge their batteries, and will only play real games in the playoffs. Especially for some strong teams, many head coaches feel that there will be 82 games in the regular season, and winning one more game or losing one game will not have much impact.

But the playoffs are different. It is a matter of life and death. After all, the league's return of broadcast fees to each team is based on the final results.

The rebroadcasting fee returned by the championship team and the bottom team in the league is completely different. Now the league's annual rebroadcasting fee is more than 900 million US dollars.

In a few years, the NBA will sign a nine-year broadcast fee worth 24 billion U.S. dollars, plus other broadcast expenses, the annual income will be nearly 2.66 billion.

This is also the reason why sky-high contracts are flying all over the sky in later generations. They are all common contracts, just like TT Thompson averaged 8 points and 8 rebounds per game, and can get a 5-year 80 million contract

You must know that McGrady, who averages 20+5+5 per game, has a contract of only 19 million U.S. dollars this year. If it is the data of the NBA after 2014, McGrady dares to challenge the annual salary of 30 million U.S. dollars with his age of 3.8 years! In recent years, the U.S. dollar has not Depreciation is just an increase in broadcast fees.

In the afternoon, the Rockets flew back to Houston, and everyone returned home for a brief rest. Yang Shan found that his villa was empty again, and only he was there.

The apartment has already been retired, and Yang Mi and the others are in Los Angeles, but this is also very good, and it is time for me to recharge my batteries and prepare for the playoffs. .
