The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 175 It's because I'm not strong enough
The Bulls and the Lakers played quite anxiously.

In the last 16.9 seconds, Luol Deng intercepted the ball from Kobe and threw it to Rose.

The latter's iconic sticking to the ground and changing direction, accelerating all the way, overtaking on curves, reaching the basket, and pulling the bar to throw!

88:87
Quasi lore, leaving the Lakers with 4.8 seconds.

The black mamba was furious, and his operation was as fierce as a tiger. When he came up, he hit nine, shot in 0.1 seconds, and was capped by Luol Deng...

Bulls won!

Derrick Rose is a person who is in good spirits on happy occasions, makes money, is famous in history, and can win games. Isn't life like this?

There are many terms in the NBA that are named after superstars, such as:

"The Larry Bird Clause".

That's good, and it's a sign of where the loyal prospects are headed.

Another example:
"Arenas Clause".

This is not good, it is to protect the mother team so that they can retain those second- and fifth-year-olds who have been cultivated with great difficulty...

Apparently, the "Roth Clause" is good.

It can be regarded as an upgraded version of the "Larry Bird Clause", which is exclusive to the rising genius superstars in rookie contracts. What an honor for latecomers who can trigger this clause!

Three days ago, Rose, who triggered his own clause, renewed his contract with the Bulls in advance. The contract amount is 5 million U.S. dollars for 9400 years, with a starting salary of 1600 million.

The total amount of the contract is 1100 million more than the renewal before the lockout!
Ross said humbly:
"I don't love money, I love winning..."

A strong, sad and helpless, breath of Versailles Alima flowed towards my face!

In fact, he is not the first beneficiary of the "Ross Clause".

The first to enjoy the "Ross Clause" was Durant. As the No. 2007 pick in 2010, during the four-year rookie contract, he was selected to the best team twice in 2011 and [-].

This is in line with the agreement of the "Ross Clause", so after the clause is released, Durant, like Ross, will meet the conditions immediately.

Of course, there is a reason why this clause is not called the "Kevin Durant Clause", but the "Derrick Rose Clause". There is a huge gap between them temporarily——

Regular season MVP!
According to the "Roth Clause":

Either be selected as an All-Star starter twice, or be selected to the best team twice (no matter what team), or get the regular season MVP!

There are 10 places for the All-Star starters, a total of 15 places for the three best teams, and one and only one regular season MVP.

Obviously, being selected to the best team is the bottom line, and MVP is the ceiling!

Right now, Rose is the best man!

Unlike Rose, Adu has already renewed his contract ahead of schedule.

Rose will not get his starting salary of 1600 million until next year, but Adu can enjoy the thrill of a salary increase this season. He may be able to buy a glass of Scarlett's bath water online to try...

However, to enjoy the "Ross Clause", Adu has to re-sign the contract.

He entered the NBA a year earlier than Rose, and his rookie contract ended a year earlier.

As the most dazzling new star in the 2007 class, as early as July 2010, the Thunder couldn't wait to renew his contract in advance.

At that time, the Thunder gave a maximum salary of 5 million for 8600 years, but his new contract did not come into effect until this season. It just so happened that the "Ross Clause" came into being, and Adu got such a magical salary increase!

Thunder quit!
1250 sloppy horses galloped past the boss of the Thunder. Because of the "Ross Clause", he would not only pay Durant an extra [-] million in the next five years, but also pay the league the resulting luxury tax...

But the alliance is very tough, and the luxury tax is imminent, how can it be let go?

It is a little bit more wool can be squeezed!
Who told you not to be predictable, and to be bound in black and white in the contract, so that Durant gave up enjoying the "Ross Clause"?

The wage increase has dropped from 10.5% to 7.5%, but you are running very fast!
It's the turn of people to raise the starting salary, and you don't recognize it?
What a bastard!
The two sides refused to give in to each other, and finally the NBA board of directors arbitrated.

The 30 bosses forced the Thunder to submit with an insulting vote of 29:1. David Stern may feel that the bullying is too much, so both sides take a step back:
Durant's salary increase is partly borne by the league, but Durant's salary space is calculated after the salary increase.

In other words, although the Thunder don't need to pay Durant more, but based on the luxury tax, the money to be handed over to the league must not be less!
If you take more money, of course you have to work harder, so Rose and Durant both appeared on the Christmas stage to earn box office for the donors.

In the game against the Magic, Adu scored a game-high 30 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and [-] steals.

Surprisingly, Page's Dragon Ball magic didn't break out.

They were pressed and beaten all over the court, and they had no power to fight back.

Turkoglu was out of form at all, he was lost.

When Blanks informed him that the trade was about to happen, everything that happened at the end of last season flashed in Turkoglu's mind like a bolt from the blue.

He realized it and felt cheated by the whole world.

I feel tired and won't love anymore...

Jason Richardson was even more surprised. He felt that he was the hero who made the Suns break into the Western Conference finals. He was a good brother of Nash and a good partner of Tuman. He drank wine and plowed the ground together. There was no problem...

Ready to die in Phoenix.

Who knows, this is still a business.

When Gentry and the others were at Tuman's house, they only showed him the list of new teammates. He thought that Iguodala and Battier, like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, were bought.

Who knows, but paid for Turkoglu and Richardson!

Tu Man, who knew the truth, panicked immediately, did I become an accomplice?

Thinking of Xido who passed the ball to him, thinking of Jason with the beautiful head pressed in the flowers, the scenes of the past year came to mind one after another, and he was in a state of confusion for a while...

Why do you have to trade?
It must be because I didn't defend the Mavericks' three-pointer, which led to the sweep of the playoffs. The boss blamed it and wanted to find a scapegoat!

It must be so!

The Sun hosted a send-off reception for Richardson and Turkoglu two days before Christmas.

The management and the coaching staff knew that they were wrong, so they didn't come to hate people, but Robert Savo paid for a carload of young models, knowing that this was the standard for the animals to drink, and it was also an indirect apology.

Tu Man put his arms around the necks of Turkoglu and Richardson, and kept apologizing, as if he had facilitated the deal, and no one would believe it.

In fact, after the transaction happened, Blanks confessed:

Only the owner, the general manager and the coaching staff knew about this plan. Everyone else was innocent, including Tu Man.

But Tu Man accepted the truth, he felt that he had grasped a deeper secret:

Why did the team send Turkoglu and Richardson away?
Are their offenses not good enough?
Not!
It's that they failed to prevent the Mavericks' indiscriminate bombing, but this should be Ben Man's job, so why blame them?
It's because I'm not strong enough!
