Chapter 875 [Splash Brothers, make sure you don't lose money]

Curry has been defended as a blacksmith in two games. The finals data is far worse than the regular season, with only 23 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists, shooting 41.6% from the field and 40.5% from three-point shooting.

With the data, Curry was lucky to win the FMVP. He has to thank Gortat and Biyombo. The two of them have solid interior defense and reduce Gasol's efficiency.

Gasol averaged 16.5 points, 11 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. He also had two poor performances, with an overall shooting percentage of 46.3%. The league could not let him win the FMVP for two consecutive years.

Danny Green is a highlight of the Clippers. He made 27 14-pointers in the finals, breaking Ray Allen's final 3-point record. However, except for his 0.7-pointers, he was defensive and had no breakthroughs. His statistics were average, averaging [-] points and [-] rebounds per game. [-] assists, and the FMVP is unlikely to be awarded to him.

After the game, the person with the most gimmicks was of course Yang Rui. He has won 13 championship rings, leaving "Cardinal" Auerbach far behind.

The reporter asked Yang Rui to comment on his achievements. He said: "I am very happy, but I will not be a basketball coach for a lifetime. At the age of 50, I will choose to retire and spend more time with my family, travel around, and enjoy life. "

The reporter asked: "Will you lead the team to challenge Auerbach's 8th consecutive championship record?"

"It depends on the state of the players." Yang Rui smiled.The record of 8 consecutive championships has long been unimportant. Except for patients with secondary diseases, no one thinks that Auerbach is stronger than Yang Rui.

The now retired former president David Stern feels that Yang Rui should retire immediately and become the president of the league. The head coaching job is not suitable for him, which seriously affects the balance of the league.

The reporters also focused on interviewing Danny Green and Curry. The two were already on the team when the Clippers were rebuilt in 2010. Now they both have five championship rings. Due to their excellent three-point shooting skills, when the ball hollowed into the net, The sound is like a splash, so it is called "Splash Brothers".

The unfortunate Klay Thompson, although the data is better than the previous life, was snatched by Green's resounding nickname and failed to get the championship ring.

The next day, while the media released news to praise the Clippers, they also questioned LeBron James.

The emperor unfortunately lay down the gun, just because Danny Green was a rookie in the middle of the second round selected by the Cavaliers. In the 09-10 season, he worked as a younger brother in the Cavaliers for a year.

The emperor often has it, but the Maxima does not often have it. James never imagined that after many years, the inconspicuous little brother by his side would get so many rings.Green couldn't make any shots in James' own system back then, but now he even broke the three-point record.

There are more and more people questioning James' abandoned teammates on the Internet, and the pressure on the Cavaliers management is also increasing. This summer, it must be difficult to find big-name stars to join.

What made Cavaliers boss Gilberto's head even bigger was that James jumped out of the contract again and entered the free market.

Most players like to sign long-term contracts. Even if there is an injury, they can get money from the team, and they are not afraid of natural and man-made disasters.But since the disintegration of the Big Three, James has signed a 1+1 contract every year, and then jumped out the next year. This approach is like: I jumped in again, I jumped out again, and beat me, idiot.

Taking into account the league's new broadcast contract, James' next contract will definitely have an annual salary of more than 3000 million yuan. Of course, James's goal is to maximize profits. While earning a high salary, he will put pressure on the management. If you don't dig teammates who satisfy me , to form a champion lineup, I will leave.

Cavaliers owner Gilbert has coaxed James for more than ten years, and Cleveland is so small that James has not made much money.This time, he finally got tired of it...

In the Clippers, Paul Gasol chose to jump out of the last year of the contract. He has a championship. Knowing that Yang Rui is very optimistic about Jokic, coupled with Whiteside’s improvement, keeping him will definitely shorten his playing time. , might as well take advantage of the strength to sign another big contract.

Born in July 1980, he is 7 years old this year. He has comprehensive skills, and weak teams lacking inside stars will be interested in him. Due to the skyrocketing salary cap, some teams that cannot collect enough minimum wages will also be willing to give him a big contract.

At the celebration party, Gasol chatted with Yang Rui and expressed his thoughts, but Yang Rui did not hold back.The Clippers signed Gasol to improve their immediate combat power and never thought about long-term cooperation.

Richard Jefferson will not renew his contract. He has the strength and the championship. He can go to other teams to pursue a bigger contract, and it is a bit inferior to stay in the Clippers as a marginal person.

David West is willing to stay. He can give up even tens of millions of annual salary. He doesn't care about money at all, he just wants to win.

Veteran Andre Miller will retire, he has no regrets, and he can't move.

Draymond Green is a restricted free agent. The Clippers did not have the pressure to re-sign him in the summer, and the cap space is ample.

Middleton is a completely free agent. He joined the Clippers as a second-round rookie. Yang Rui let him stay for four years. Last season, he averaged 26.3 minutes per game, scored 12 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists, and shot 46.7% from the field. 41 percent from three.

Yang Rui also talked to Middleton at the party and gave him the option. If a team is willing to offer a premium and high salary, he can accept it, but the Clippers cannot match.He can also choose to stay in Los Angeles and accept a four-year, $4 million offer from the Clippers. The team will wait for him until August.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Middleton signed a 15-year contract with the Bucks for 5 yuan for 7000 years, with an average annual salary of about the same. If the price is higher than this price to renew the role player, it will not make much sense for the Clippers.Antetokounmpo has become stronger, he can play the No. 3 position, and he can play the No. 4 position. There is also Covington in the team who can also shoot three-pointers and defend on the flanks.

This is the most reasonable contract offered by the Clippers to Middleton, and Antetokounmpo will have to re-sign next year.

The Clippers have three more draft picks this season. In the first and second rounds of the team, they traded Joseph Young to the Timberwolves for the second-round pick.As usual, the manager will send out the Clippers' second-round pick for cash, leaving two higher draft picks.

Chinese fans are very concerned about this draft, because there are two clear Chinese players, both insiders, Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin, nicknamed "Big Devil".

Yao Ming retired and Yi Jianlian returned to the CBA. Chinese fans all hope that there will be more Chinese players in the NBA, so that they can regard an NBA team as the home team.If the Clippers select a Chinese player, they will be happy even if they are from the fringes. It is more enjoyable to watch the strong teams and support their compatriots.

Yang Rui set two goals, including Zhou Qi, which is a win-win situation.

Zhou Qi used to average 15.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 3.2 blocks per game last season, with a shooting percentage of 60%.

You must know that when the fringes of the NBA join the CBA, they can usually score 20+ on the outside and double-doubles on the inside. The blue-collar data of Zhou Qi is too ordinary.

Yang Rui is interested in his talent. A set of unofficial physical test data shows that Zhou Qi's wingspan, standing reach, and height are ranked first among all the players who participated in the joint trial training!
He is 219cm tall in shoes, 216cm tall with bare feet, 99kg in weight, 286cm in standing reach, 233cm in arm span, 4.85% in fat, 80cm in place, and 81cm in run-up.

What the outside world is most concerned about is undoubtedly Zhou Qi's weight. In April 2015, Zhou Qi went to Portland to participate in the Nike Basketball Summit. At that time, he also received a physical test and weighed about 4 kg. Now, his weight has increased to 95 kg. Although he still fails, it is always a good start.

After the joint trial, some people believed that Porzingis of the Knicks was Zhou Qi's template. When Bo Shen landed in the NBA in 2015, he weighed 220 pounds, or about 99.7 kilograms.

Use the second-round pick to select a center with a super-long wingspan and the ability to shoot in the long distance.
