Chapter 87 Large-Scale Guessing Activities
As soon as Stephen said his general request, Catherine immediately wrote it down in the notebook. It looked good, but Stephen didn't have much hope, as you can see from her age. Buying a house is so simple. Although Stephen asked It’s very simple, the house should not be too small, because he is the only one to live in, and the environment should be quiet, because he needs to have a good rest environment, and it needs to be close to the stadium, because he comes back late from training every day, Stephen doesn’t want to waste too much time on the road Time, of course, the price can’t be too high. After deducting all taxes, Stephen’s income is less than half. He can’t use the whole year’s income to buy a house. The real estate tax in Texas But the United States is notoriously tall.
Like in San Antonio, to buy a house worth 20 US dollars, you need to pay an average property tax of a little more than [-] US dollars per year, so Stephen is not too eager to buy a house. It's okay to say here, if you leave, wouldn't the house still have to be sold? Of course, you can't tell any of these people in front of you. They are all people who are planning to die in the Spurs. Zhi, although this is normal, but there will definitely be no thorns in my heart, and it is hard to say whether I will be so harmonious with myself.
After talking about Stephen, a few people sat there and chatted about basketball again. After chatting, they talked about the current situation of the league. Being able to dominate, although everyone has great confidence in the Spurs, Duncan dare not say that they can win the championship this season. The Spurs have never successfully defended the title, nor have they won the championship in even-numbered years. Law.
I don't want to talk too much about my team, because when I talk about my team, I have to talk about that topic, so everyone is discussing who will be their opponent in the finals?Who in the West will cause trouble for him? After talking and talking, Brent Barry suddenly had a proposal: "You guys say, how about we have a guessing game, guess who your opponent is in the division finals, and who is your opponent in the finals?" Who is it? Let us sit in the row. The first person has said it, and the next person can’t say it anymore. Then when talking about the opponent in the final, start from here. In this way, it is fair to everyone , Each person who guesses wrong will give two thousand dollars to those who guess right, Catherine, please help us record it and make a proof at the same time, whoever wins will give you a favor fee."
Brent Barry's proposal is very interesting, the rules are relatively simple, and at the same time, it clearly expresses his confidence in the Spurs. Bruce Bowen glanced at Stephen and suddenly took it over: "I have a proposal. You must give a one-two-three reason, you can't talk nonsense, Stephen can not say it."
"Okay, let me talk about the opponents in the conference finals first. I am more optimistic about the Suns. Although Joe Johnson is gone, as long as Nash is still there, the strength of the Suns cannot be underestimated. Any player who comes to the Suns can play well." All-star data, so I think the sun is still our biggest opponent for the Western Conference championship, and now it depends on how long Stoudemire will rest, which is a variable factor." Duncan ranked first, and naturally took the lead explain.
"I think our opponent should be the Denver Nuggets. They caused us a lot of trouble last season. They have Kenyon Martin, Nene Hilario, Marcus Camby, Anthony, M. Le, with the gradual maturity of Anthony, coupled with the training of the famous teacher George Carrai, they have a divisional advantage, I think they are our biggest opponents." Bruce Bowen continued, and Catherine acted as the clerk. , Write down everyone's speeches.
"I think in the West, the Houston Rockets are our biggest threat. They have Yao Ming and McGrady. Both of them are the type that cannot be defended. As long as there are no injuries, the Rockets will always be the first to win the championship. Legion." When it was Tony Parker's turn, Tony Parker actually chose the Rockets, which had never made it to the second round, which surprised everyone, but what he said couldn't be wrong. McGrady's combination is equivalent to a slightly weakened version of the ok combination.
"I'll choose the Dallas Mavericks. I think the Mavericks are also very good, especially if their boss is rich." Stephen originally planned to talk about the Suns, but Duncan had already said it, and he wanted to talk about the Rockets. Parker said I had no choice but to take out the opponent just now, but the Mavericks played really well and put a lot of pressure on the Spurs, especially Nowitzki's performance, but in order to respect Duncan, Stephen was embarrassed to say that he had to take Mark Cuban. Come out and say something.
"Hehe, Stephen, you are wrong. You can never win a championship with money, and Mark Cuban is not the richest boss, but he is willing to invest in it. Compared with the rich, he can have the support of the Trail Blazers." The boss has money, of course, he is richer than our boss." After Bruce Bowen came out to correct Stephen, Brent Barry said.
"You've finished picking good teams. I want to pick the Clippers, or the Timberwolves. The Clippers are stronger overall. The Timberwolves have Garnett, so you can never underestimate it. Forget it, it's better to be fast." Fleet.” Brent Barry chose in a dilemma, and finally decided to choose the Clippers.
After finishing speaking, several people looked at each other and found that there was no Lakers. This was the previous championship team. Unexpectedly, they couldn't even rank in the top five. After Catherine informed everyone of the teams they selected, the second The round of guessing has begun. This time it is the finals opponent, and we can only choose from the eastern team.
"I still choose the Detroit Pistons. I think with the defensive system built by Larry Brown and the offensive system of Sanders, the Pistons should at least make it to the finals." Brent Barry was the first to say. Let's talk about the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference.
"Then I'll choose the Miami Heat. I think O'Neal is very good, coupled with Wade, Payton and others." Stephen continued. I don't know, besides, there are beauties beside him, how could Stephen be willing to play ugly.
"Stephen, our two heroes have the same views. I also agree with the Heat, but since you chose, then I have to choose another one. I will choose the Indiana Pacers. It is a championship-level team. Basically, they are all back now, and they should be pretty good.” Tony Parker originally looked at the Heat in the East, but Stephen was one step ahead, so he had to choose another one.
"Then I will choose the Cleveland Cavaliers. With James, there is no need to say anything else." Bruce Bowen recommended a team very succinctly, because he felt that the promising ones had been mentioned by others. In other words, the strength of the Eastern Conference is not as good as the average Western Conference team. Generally, the top three teams are a little bit stronger, and the others are relatively weak.
"It seems that I am definitely going to lose, so I will choose the Milwaukee Bucks. With Bogut inside and Michael Reid outside, I should still have a fight." Duncan smiled. No one thought that he would He would choose the team where Bogut, who made insulting remarks to himself, was in. Everyone laughed now. Duncan is like this.
After all the quizzes were released, everyone signed their names on Catherine's record. Both of them lost only [-] US dollars, which is a trivial matter for them, and there is a high possibility that they will win another one. , That's losing two thousand and winning eight thousand.
After finishing all this, everyone began to disperse and went back to their respective homes. Stephen was going to call the driver, but Duncan wanted to give Stephen a ride, so Stephen had to sit in Duncan's Dodge Hennessy modified version with a turbo The supercharged engine roared, and the car drove into the night.
Watching Duncan driving the car gracefully, sitting in the car as if he didn't feel it, but the speedometer clearly shows that the current speed is already 120 miles per hour, and the car is not fully powered, Stephen sneaked enviously, it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he couldn't afford it.
Cars for the mass market seldom cost more than $[-], and those worth more than $[-] are generally limited editions or very small-production ones, and some car buyers have customized requirements for the car, so the price is expensive. And this kind of car plus consumption tax is basically equivalent to Stephen's salary for a year, and Stephen still can't afford it now.
"As long as you follow your current development momentum, you will be able to buy such a car under the next contract. Then I will introduce you to modify it. I am their senior customer." Seeing that Stephen is very interested in his car, Duncan introduced to Stephen with great interest that he had several cars, including a Ferrari, a Chevrolet, and a horse, but the one he liked the most was the Dodge car.
"I hope so. I don't know what kind of car I want. Can I feel it when I come back?" Stephen has never driven a sports car. He sees his teammates driving a sports car every day. If he says he is not envious, it is a lie Yes, but with his own income, he really can't meet this condition. Stephen followed his father and didn't learn anything else, so he still understands the principle of living within one's means.
Once many young people have money, they will buy luxury houses and sports cars without hesitation. It doesn’t matter if they don’t spend a few years’ salary in advance. This is the case with Coupard. It’s not that Stephen taught him a lesson. The salary of a rookie contract is early It was spent ahead of time, although the salary cannot be withdrawn in advance, but as long as there is a contract, a large number of banks are scrambling to give you a loan, as long as it does not exceed the contract amount, everything is fine.
"No problem, why don't I lend it to you for a try now." Duncan immediately agreed, and Stephen shook his head. It's better to forget it first. The speed of this car is too fast, and I can't master it well. I will take Robert Horry's Porsche first Or Brent Barry's Cadillac to practice, so as not to spoil this fine car.
