Chapter 842 [Stay for another year, Alliance Overlord! 】

After the game, the Clippers put on their championship caps, were interviewed by reporters, and waited for the award ceremony.

The veterans played in garbage time for a while, and Nash hit a 15-pointer with [-] seconds left in the game, and the fans stood in a standing ovation. It was clear to everyone that it was the last goal of his career.

Nash was very excited after the game and said to the camera: "Someone once told me that one day you will not be able to continue to play on the basketball court. Because at that time we were no longer as good as before and could no longer satisfy the ball. The requirements of the team. When you are a teenager, you have a dream, you are more and more obsessed with the game, and then suddenly someone tells you that you can't play basketball all your life, it's a scary thing , I will never forget how I felt when I first heard that."

Nash was a little choked up, paused and said, "I have been afraid for the past two years. The best gift God has given me is to fully immerse me in the things I love and fight for the things I love deeply. I am afraid. I didn't win a championship when I retired, and now I finally feel that joy."

After that, Nash praised Yang Rui fiercely, and Yang Rui was also very happy for him. In this life, he can retire with a championship ring, but in his previous life, when he left the league with nothing, he also carried a bad scapegoat...

Zhang reasonable commented: "Yang Rui coaching the Clippers never depends on any star, his tactics can decide who wins the award, three championships, three FMVPs, this time it's Curry's turn, he is accurate with three points and two points. ."

Yu Jia said: "I think the most terrifying thing is that the Clippers have not paid the luxury tax this season. There are only three players with high salaries. The Nets are the team with the highest salary in the league and are big taxpayers. Championship trophy."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Many people say that the Nets can't win because of the coach, and that Stevens is not as good as Yang Rui, which means nothing. Even if the Nets fire Stevens, they will look all over the world. I won't find a better coach than Yang Rui."

Yang Rui was interviewed holding her daughter Shirley.

Shirley is used to seeing big scenes, and she has become a Hollywood child star. She often makes cameo appearances in movies.

The reporter asked: "This is your No. 11 championship ring. The total number of rings has already tied with Bill Russell. What do you think?"

"The next step is to surpass. I hope to continue to lead the team to win the championship next year. Since the NBA has developed into dozens of teams, no team has achieved four consecutive championships. I hope to create this record."

The reporter asked: "Some people say that the gold content of your ring is higher than that of Russell. What do you think?"

"What? Are the rings of that era cutting corners? Clippers' rings will never be low in gold, nor will there be one less gemstone. I will personally participate in the design of this ring." Yang Rui directly diverted the topic. , the scene was full of laughter.

Yang Rui didn't want to be said to be disrespectful to his predecessors, nor was he interested in praising Russell.

The reporter asked: "The Clippers have a lot of free agents in the summer. Will you be troubled by this?"

"No." Yang Rui shook his head lightly, without saying a word.

The reporter asked: "How are you going to celebrate winning the championship?"

Yang Rui said with a smile: "It's nothing special. After the press conference, everyone will go to the Serenity to have a party, live on the boat, and continue to play tomorrow, fishing at sea, diving, dancing, etc. After two days of playing, the championship parade will be held. I will return to the locker room later. Let's celebrate with champagne, I just got it delivered today."

The last words are a bit irritating. The champagne that the Clippers just sent today can be used. The champagne that Prokhorov prepared before the start of the finals can only be pulled home and drunk by himself.

Prokhorov was depressed at home at the moment, he didn't come to watch the game, and even changed the channel after watching half of the game.He knows that if the Nets want to beat the Clippers to win the championship, they must change the lineup. When the Nets' salary space is locked, they can only try to trade in the summer. It is very difficult to exchange for better people.

At the press conference, Yang Rui and the players touted each other and officially entered the holiday.

Yang Rui became the boss, and everyone was satisfied. He was much more generous than Donald Sterling when it came to celebrating parties alone, throwing out millions for fun without frowning.

This kind of money, Yang Rui will never save, he thinks it is very cost-effective.

The NBA team is different from those football giants. In football, the club owner can set the winning bonus at will, and the winning is directly paid to the players. Some local rich owners also pay the bonus even if the team loses. If the NBA arbitrarily pays bonuses to players, it is not allowed for players to reduce their salary and renew contracts in the future.Usually, the details such as partying are better for the players, and it has become an important way for the boss and the players to win over the feelings.

At the party, Rudy Gay chatted with Yang Rui alone, first said some words of thanks, and then said that he wanted to jump out of the last year of the contract.

Gay joined the Clippers with a full middle class and became one of the lowest-paid high-energy players in the league. He has played for the Clippers for four years.As long as he jumps out of the contract, he will definitely get a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions. Now that he has three rings in hand, he wants to make more money.

Yang Rui smiled slightly and whispered: "Rudy, I know that you and Tyson (Chandler) both want to jump out of the contract, I just tell you some things, you know what you have in mind, don't tell Tyson, or you will appear to me It’s too boring. You don’t jump out of the contract, play another season for the Clippers, and then sign a high-paying long-term contract when you become a free agent next year, you can earn tens of millions more.”

"Why?" Guy was startled.

"You forgot who I am? Facebook has already got the inside information. In the future, the NBA broadcast rights will increase, the salary cap will increase, and the players' salaries will increase significantly. It will be reflected next summer. If you do this Jumping out of the contract during the season is to limit the free agent. The contract offered by other teams will not be very high. If I let the manager match, won’t I have to squeeze you for many years? So I decided to tell you about it.”

In Yang Rui's previous life, on the first day of the 15-year free market, the NBA smashed 15 billion and entered an era of sky-high prices.

At that time, any star player will get an annual salary of 2000 million, and a role player can get an annual salary of tens of millions. Looking at Gay with a lower annual salary, Yang Rui is a little embarrassed. Even if they break up, he hopes to see everyone happy.

Yang Rui didn't tell Chandler about this because Chandler was already out of money. He had already signed two big contracts with an annual salary of [-] million yuan, and this year is the third one.Moreover, Chandler is in a period of decline. Yang Rui hopes that he will leave to free up salary space, and there will be more choices in the free market.

Guy thought for a moment and agreed. "Jerry, thank you for telling me this, I'd like to stay."

"Play hard, and strive to be an All-Star next season. The contract will be bigger then." Yang Rui patted Guy's back.

In this way, the small forward position will still be strong next season, which is also good for the Clippers. The Clippers are dual-core inside and outside, but the key to the defensive end has always been the swingman.

The whole party was interviewed exclusively by Facebook, and some interesting clips were edited and posted online afterwards.

Two days later, the Clippers held a championship parade, which was another lively fan gathering.Reporters from various countries came to interview, and many tourists participated.Beginning in 2005, the NBA championship parade seems to have become a traditional festival in Los Angeles, but the team has changed to do it.

Many Lakers fans have turned to support the Clippers, including famous actor Jack Nicholson.The Clippers are already recognized as the dominant player in the NBA.
