data possession

Chapter 148 Hard Battle
4 million US dollars in 7 years! !Big contract! !
"Ning, I think you will set a new NBA record again." Paul exclaimed.

Ning Caichen was stunned, and said, "What do you mean?"

"Do you think there is a player like you in the NBA who can get such a big contract without even finishing the regular season? You have only been in the NBA for more than a month, oh my God!!"

"Yes, Ning, you will create a new record." Cuban said aside.

Ning Caichen was at a loss, how could he set a record with more than 1000 million?I rely on strength to eat, okay?It is said that I got a big contract after only playing for one month. How many rookies have the strength of me to play for one moon?

After Paul's explanation, Ning Caichen understood the reason.

Ning Caichen has only hit the moon for a while now, and his worth has risen to this point. This is simply unprecedented in the history of the NBA.If Ning Caichen really agrees to the offer from the Mavericks, it will set a new record.

Ning Caichen signed with the Clippers with the lowest contract in history, and now there is another big contract that has created the highest annual salary of a rookie waiting for him to sign.

If Ning Caichen joined the NBA through the draft, he will be restricted by the NBA labor agreement.At the beginning, the Clippers would not offer the minimum salary for rookies that was stipulated in the NBA labor agreement, and the Mavericks did not dare to offer such a large contract to Ning Caichen, who had only played one moon.

It can be said that Ning Caichen did not expect the current situation. The reason why he gave up participating in the draft at the beginning was because he was afraid that the data energy would disappear and he needed to improve his strength quickly. Opportunity.

He never thought about the NBA labor agreement. He didn't even think about the NBA labor agreement when he signed with the Clippers.By accident, his choices were all right.

If he hadn't heard Paul's explanation just now, Ning Caichen would not have known how lucky he was.

After seeing the reactions of the two, Cuban struck while the iron was hot: "Ning, there is no need to think about it anymore, let's make history together!!"

Seeing Cuban standing like this, Ning Caichen was really uncomfortable, so he stood up, shook hands with him, then sat down and said, "Mr. Cuban, sit down first!"

When Cuban saw Ning Caichen shaking hands with him, he couldn't help being overjoyed. Finally, his hard work paid off, and he finally got Ning Caichen done.

If Ning Caichen is dealt with, the success rate of persuading Paul will be much higher.

Paul stared at the two shaking hands, but he didn't expect Ning Caichen to agree.It was too sudden.

Ning Caichen continued: "I think you made a mistake. I have no plans to leave the Clippers at the moment. At least, it's not the time yet."

After Ning Caichen finished speaking, Cuban felt his cheeks twitch.Isn't this already promised?If you don't agree, why do you want to shake my hand?You are Chinese and don't follow the rules so badly! !

Paul couldn't help laughing, it really was Ning Caichen's style.

"Ning, didn't you just agree?" Cuban said speechlessly.

"I just see you standing there feeling uncomfortable, and I want you to sit down and talk." Ning Caichen said innocently.

Cuban "..."

"Let's do it! Mr. Cuban, thank you very much for your trust. If I really want to leave the Clippers after this season, I will choose your Mavericks first."

"Really?" Seeing Ning Caichen say that, Cuban also knew Ning Caichen's plan.But if, as Ning Caichen said, the Mavericks are the first choice, that would be fine.

"What about you? Paul, our team is really..."

"It's the same for me. If I want to leave the Clippers, as long as your Mavericks can impress me, I think I will also choose your Mavericks first." Paul replied quickly.

"Really, that's really great!" Although Cuban looked smiling, he was actually very disappointed.He didn't really take their words seriously.However, this is also a good start. With the verbal commitment of the two, they have already led other teams on the way to pursue the two.

After seeing Cuban's somewhat disappointed expression, Ning Caichen comforted: "Mr. Cuban, please trust us, as long as the Mavericks have enough sincerity, then we will fulfill our promise, please trust us. "

Cuban's cheeks twitched again, and he suddenly remembered the scene of being intercepted by the Clippers at a critical moment when he was pursuing Jordan.

……

"You don't really intend to leave the Clippers, do you?" Paul asked Ning Caichen impatiently after Cuban was sent away.

Ning Caichen shrugged and replied: "Maybe! I think there should be an 80% chance of leaving. What about you? If I hadn't joined the Clippers before, you must have thought about finding another home."

Paul was speechless immediately, and the two had a tacit understanding.

There are two reasons why Paul wants to leave. One is the problem of Rivers and his son, and the other is that he wants a championship ring.Before the Clippers led by Rivers, it was almost impossible to see the possibility of winning the championship. Finally, Ning Caichen's joining made him very close to seeing the hope of winning the championship, but he was blocked by the two father and son. up.It's really frustrating.

"So, we cherish this season. No matter what the final result is, we must work hard to win the championship." Ning Caichen patted Paul on the shoulder and said solemnly.

"Are you confident?"

"Of course, let me tell you the truth! My strength is still in the stage of improvement, and what you see now is far from my ultimate strength." Ning Caichen said in embarrassment.

Paul glanced at Ning Caichen, and wanted to kick Ning Caichen's ass, but what was even more irritating was that he could see Ning Caichen's growth in almost every game.

What left Paul speechless was that Ning Caichen's growth was the result of his hard training.

Looking at Ning Caichen's confident back, he seemed to see the rise of a king.

Paul shook his head quickly, it was so strange, he quickly caught up with Ning Caichen.

This Cuban is too outrageous, although he said he didn't agree to join the Mavericks, but he wouldn't forget them when he left!Got them now walking back to the arena and driving.

……

Tonight, whether it is Ning Caichen, Paul, or even Rivers, they are very excited, just because they will challenge the Spurs tonight.

The reason why Ning Caichen is excited is because he has finally been able to compete with strong teams since he joined the NBA, so that he can test his own strength and see how effective he can be in the team against strong teams.

And Paul and Rivers want to see how much their current lineup is different from the Spurs with the addition of Ning Caichen.Tonight's game can be said to be the first step in testing how far they can go in the playoffs.

The Spurs are an evergreen tree among the western powerhouses, and they are also a strong team that many powerhouses want to avoid in the playoffs. No team wants to meet the Spurs led by Popovich in the playoffs Team.

Ning Caichen attached great importance to today's game and devoted himself to the warm-up.The last time they faced a strong team was the Cavaliers, but the three giants of the Cavaliers, who are so alive, have collectively rested.

Ning Caichen was also worried that Popovich would give the main players a rest. After all, rest is Popovich's most common method.Fortunately, what Ning Caichen saw was that all the Spurs players had warmed up and did not plan to take turns.

Judging from the current rankings in the Western Conference, if the Clippers and Spurs both enter the second round, then the semifinals will undoubtedly be their confrontation.Today's game is also a warm-up match between the two teams before the playoffs.

Popovich also paid more attention to today's game, and made relative arrangements in tactics, especially on the point of Ning Caichen. He repeatedly emphasized to the players that they must not be taken lightly.

The Spurs players felt that Popovich was too cautious. Although Ning Caichen's three-pointers were very accurate, there was no need to specialize in defense!Just an ordinary three-point shooter.

At the beginning of the game, the offense of the two teams was mainly stable, and neither made too many mistakes, and they were very cautious.However, compared to the Spurs, the Clippers are still more eager to attack.

The two sides come and go, and you play a ball, which makes the game less exciting.Even if the Clippers wanted to drive the tempo, they were all blocked by the Spurs, which just slowed down the tempo.

If this continues, even if the Clippers can maintain this rhythm in the second quarter, they will definitely collapse in the third quarter.It is impossible for them to hold their breath like this and drag the game to the end like the Spurs.

Six minutes into the game, Rivers decisively replaced Ning Caichen.

Although the Clippers only replaced Ning Caichen, the overall offensive strength is more than one level stronger, and the offensive speed is also much faster.With Redick on the court, the Clippers have nearly doubled their speed.

For Ning Caichen's playing, the Spurs players didn't pay much attention to it. They completely forgot what Popovich said at the beginning of the game, and even felt a little contempt after seeing Ning Caichen's Asian face.

Ning Caichen glanced at Danny Green and stood a full meter away from him. Isn't this a reward?
Ning Caichen sneered, and he didn't want to step forward and score a three-pointer.

"brush!!"

The wonderful sound of arresting the net sounded.

The teammates were ready to get up and retreat when they saw Ning Caichen take off. Ning Caichen has never let them down, and it is still such an almost open three-pointer.

Danny Green also paid the price for his contempt, and being confronted by Ning Caichen was a slap in the face.

After seeing the reactions of the players on the field, Popovich's face suddenly became ugly.Before going on the court, he had repeatedly emphasized that he must keep an eye on Ning Caichen, but when it came to the official match, he put his words behind him.

Popovich just stood on the sidelines and shook his head helplessly, and had no intention of calling a timeout.He hopes that the players themselves will make adjustments in the face of changes on the field.
