    A two-to-zero lead only means you have a bigger advantage, but a three-to-zero lead is different. There is a huge difference. Of course, the players in Orlando can't feel it, but the headquarters here in Seattle can.  They clearly felt the difference, but in order not to affect the team's preparations, they did not notify this side.

    Of course, Presti also did not tell Carlesimo about Chris Hansen's decision. No matter what happens afterwards, whether the two parties can still cooperate, the championship must be won now, and there cannot be any fluctuations.  .

    If the SuperSonics can win the championship, they will receive a cash reward of more than three million US dollars, which is made up of various categories.

    First of all, the team with the first regular season record will receive an additional bonus, which is about a little more than three hundred thousand dollars. This season, the money naturally belongs to the Seattle SuperSonics.

    Secondly, according to the Eastern and Western record rankings, the top six teams in each division will receive bonuses of varying amounts. As the number one team in the Western Conference, the Seattle SuperSonics can receive a bonus of less than 300,000 US dollars. Those in the Eastern Conference will receive bonuses of varying amounts.  On the other hand, the Cleveland Cavaliers will get this money; the second place can get more than 200,000, the third place can get about 150,000, and the sixth place, only more than 50,000 is left.

    In addition, all teams that enter the playoffs will receive the same amount of bonus. This money is called the "first round bonus" and the amount is fixed, probably more than 150,000.

    Then every time the team takes a step forward, they can receive varying amounts of rewards. The semi-finals are 200,000, the conference finals are 300,000, and in the finals, the team that wins the championship can receive nearly 2 million in rewards.  The runner-up team will receive a reward of just over one million.

    This is based on last season¡¯s championship rewards. Since the ratings of this year¡¯s playoffs have increased significantly, this amount of money may be even more.

    The distribution of this money has nothing to do with the players. Their salaries must be fully implemented in accordance with the contract. The team cannot reduce any salary stipulated in the contract, nor can it be more than the number stipulated in the contract. Once the contract is signed,  Unless a player seriously violates the team's discipline or the league's regulations, and the team or the league imposes a ban on him, his salary can be deducted based on the game, and it must be approved by the players union, which is the key to protecting the interests of the players.

    But they will enjoy the extra funds. This money will be distributed to all the team's staff according to a certain plan, including Presti, members of the coaching staff, and general staff, for their extra hard work.  award.

    Although the money has not been received yet, when Presti was formulating the distribution plan, he decided to give Carlesimo more, which is remuneration, to reward him for his hard work and contribution to the team in these two seasons.  The contribution he made was also Presti's psychological compensation for Carlesimo. He failed to persuade the boss to give him a larger contract, so he could only give him more in this aspect that Presti could take care of.  Some compensation was made.

    Based on Presti's understanding of Carlesimo, he will never accept a contract extension at the original price. In this case, the team will need to find a new head coach, but who should they look for? There are some coaches who are unemployed at home.  Quite a few, but suitable head coaches are not that easy to find. Better head coaches have higher annual salaries. If you look for them based on the annual salary that Carlesimo currently earns, they are either new to the industry or have a poor record in the past.  Yes, in Presti's opinion, it's not as good as Carlesimo.

    And you can¡¯t find those with tough personalities who are prone to conflicts with privileged players like Stephen. At the same time, you can¡¯t find people who have been away from the position of head coach for too long. Those who have been away for too long are out of touch with the current era. Basketball  Their techniques and tactics are also improving rapidly, and those who are older, more conservative in character, and unable to keep pace with the times are also not suitable.

    After considering this, there really is no suitable candidate. It is better to keep Carlesimo. With his relationship with Stephen and Carlesimo, his salary will increase by hundreds of thousands of dollars. If he says a few more good words, Carlesimo will  Lessimo can still accept it. Although he is famous now, his reputation has also been ruined. If he leaves the Sonics, he may not be able to find a new head coaching position.

    But this kind of thing is not something Presti can make the decision about. Chris Hansen has made his intentions clear, and his relationship with Carlesimo is vulnerable to attack, especially after changing bosses.  Under the circumstances, I really can¡¯t say much.

    He also said that there is basically no need for signings this summer, but it is easier. Unexpectedly, he has to find a head coach, which is more difficult than finding players. After all, players have so many options to choose from, but there are not many head coaches to choose from. Think of this  Presti sighed sadly.

    At this time, Carlesimo, who was far away in Orlando, was also sighing. He was not doing it forHe sighs because of the current contract renewal issue, but sighs because of Stephen. He is already famous at such a young age. Who can compare with him? Will Stephen lose motivation because of this and become less pursuing? Carlesimo has  He shook his head. Based on his understanding of Stephen, he was not that kind of person and there should be no problem.

    Regarding the fourth battle between the two sides, although Carlesimo said that he should pay attention to it and put the three-0 lead behind him, he should not think about winning this game to win the championship.  It is to treat this game as an ordinary game, but it is easy to say that even Carlesimo himself does not want to study it.

    Of course, there is actually nothing to study. In the third game, the Orlando Magic did not show much new ideas. Except for the three-pointer at the beginning, it was no different from before. What else is there?  What can be studied has been studied for a long time and can no longer be studied. Carlesimo spread out the materials in front of him and took a look at them. They were all familiar contents. What is the point of reading them again? Alas,  Unexpectedly, it was his first time leading a team to play in the finals, and he would encounter such a weak team. It was really unchallenging, but Carlesimo liked this feeling very much.

    Although the Sonics players did not go out in groups to play, whether they were resting in the hotel or going to training, they were relaxed and happy. It is very rare to maintain such an atmosphere before a major game.  It's valuable, but whether this kind of ease will turn into relaxation during the game is also very worrying for Sonics fans.

    The atmosphere at the Orlando Magic team was much more solemn, but it was just silent, not as serious as the funeral. When Dwight Howard was interviewed by the media, he still had a smile on his face, which made people wonder if it was him.  Apart from smiling, he doesn't make any other expressions at all. For his character, fans like him most of the time, but at this critical moment, don't smile so happily, okay?

    Soon the media found out why Dwight Howard was so happy. It turned out that two days ago, he had another son. No wonder he was so happy. This is understandable. Hey, no, wasn't a daughter just born three months ago?  , why did he have another son in such a short period of time.

    Of course, this is only reported by the gossip media. Regular media will not report these news. It does not mean that these news are false, but they cannot report these things, otherwise they will offend the Orlando Magic.  As for the gossip media, they don¡¯t have to worry. What they want is eyeballs and attention. Moreover, they are not professional in reporting sports news, so they don¡¯t have to worry about being blocked by the Magic.

    As for how Dwight Howard successfully created a baby in just three months, that¡¯s because the mothers of the two children are not the same person. Now Dwight Howard¡¯s official girlfriend is a cheerleader for the Orlando Magic.  As for the former one, who can remember who it was.

    As for other members of the Magic team, they rarely give interviews, and the media will not pay attention to these people. Rashard Lewis still had a high appearance rate last season, Mr. Billion Dollar, but after paying attention to it for a season, is it really possible?  Those who are hyping up, work conscientiously on the field, and stay safe off the field. Even if you say that they are not worth the contract, they have already signed it, so there is no point in being shady.

    In this calm atmosphere, the fourth battle between the two sides began
