Chapter 526 The Turmoil of the Clippers

This year has become a harvest year for Anson, with 73 wins, scoring champion, stealing champion, best defensive player, double MVP, championship, Asian Championship champion, Asian Championship MVP, these things may be what many players struggle for all their lives. Completing one year of his career is enough to satisfy people, but this year, An Sheng has directly captured all these pursuit-filled achievements.

The camera system used to issue rewards to An Sheng on time, but after winning the championship for the first time, it fell into silence.It didn't expect that An Sheng's journey to win the championship would be so smooth, and it is still hesitating whether it should send him the first big gift package that should have been after An Sheng won the championship.

However, An Sheng did not slow down his pace when the camera system was still hesitating so many things. In less than two months, An Sheng won the championship and MVP trophy again in the Asian Championships.

However, watching a championship doesn't surprise the camera system. After all, it is its host, a competition of the Asian Championship level. In its heart, An Sheng should notify the entire competition like this, but the problem is that it What kind of abilities should be given to this excellent host to match his current achievements.

This made him very distressed. Fortunately, An Sheng was completely immersed in various other things. When he returned to China, An Sheng was also treated like a hero. Many people felt that An Sheng was helping China at the risk of ruining his career. Won the World Cup spot.God knows that An Sheng just really feels that he is almost fine. Sometimes, some players are more sensitive to their own body than their attending doctors.

As soon as he got off the plane, An Sheng encountered a huge battle. Maybe this time the fans who picked up the plane were even more grand than the time when the Chinese team won the bronze medal in the London Olympics. The fans are more grateful for An Sheng's comeback feeling.This is also the reason why An Sheng received a greater welcome this time.

However, although such a result made the fans happy, the people who were familiar with An Sheng were not very happy.They were very dissatisfied with An Sheng's approach. Although after that, An Sheng sincerely assured them that he would never do it next time, but everyone knew that as long as there was a game that had to be won, An Sheng would be like that one. Among the slam dunks, Sakuragi Hanamichi dedicates his last self to every game.

This year has been very happy for the Clippers, even though An Sheng went to several places to attend the retirement ceremonies of the veterans of his team during more than August. In his mouth, he has become an existence that will definitely surpass the god of basketball in the future.

At this moment, as last year's championship, the biggest task of the Clippers this season is to defend the championship. They left several veterans this year, but the average playing time of these veterans in the Clippers is only 6. Only a few minutes or so.

Their focus is first to negotiate Chris Paul's contract extension. For the Clippers, this is the top priority. They don't think this is a problem. Ship can also give the biggest contract. He is the only team in the league that can give Chris Paul a 5-year super-maximum salary, and a 5-year cap renewal, which should have been done.

It's just that at this time, the management seems to have doubts about whether Chris Paul should be given a maximum salary.During the regular season, there is no doubt that Chris Paul is definitely worthy of the maximum salary, and this watershed is reflected in his serious injury.Looking back, he once again faced Mike Conley in the Western Conference semifinals, which was his comeback game.

In that game, Chris Paul still suppressed Michael Conley. No matter in field control or other aspects, it must be admitted that Chris Paul is still very good, but it can be clearly seen that Chris Paul Paul's body has declined significantly. In several one-on-ones, he used very difficult moves to succeed in the hands of Michael Conley.

During the Western Conference Finals and Finals, he was completely suppressed by Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade, especially when facing the Heat, Devi, who also had knee injuries and knee problems En Wade played better than him in the entire series. If it weren't for Anson's performance in the finals that completely suppressed the more important LeBron James, the outcome of that round of finals would be very difficult to say.

Just looking at the data of 14.7 points, 8.3 assists and 2.0 steals in the Western Conference finals and 13.4 points, 10.1 assists and 2.3 steals in the finals, I really want to get a five-year super-maximum salary with the Clippers. It may be worth the maximum salary, but he is 28 years old, and with the knee injury, he will only decline more and more, so the Clippers are hesitating. They hope to sign a maximum salary contract with Chris Paul for more time .

But this hesitation hurt Chris Paul. He is 28 years old. If he signs a 3-year contract, plus the injuries he suffered this year, it is hard to say whether he will be lucky enough to sign a big contract next time.Moreover, his injury was for the Clippers' 73 wins and the championship this time. The Clippers' kind of commercial behavior caused him to be injured.

When Anson was still competing in the Asian Championships in the Philippines, he also announced the increase of the negotiation window and began to listen to the opinions of some other teams.This suddenly caused a big wave in the American basketball world.This kind of team that fell apart after winning the championship is really rare. Unless it is like the Bulls in 1998, the retirement of core players forced the team to rebuild. Otherwise, for their bosses, try their best to ensure their core lineup It was a thing that must be done that summer. For such a thing, many small ball market teams may be willing to pay a large luxury tax for this to complete the defending feat.

After all, last year's lineup proved that they can be successful, and the players who have played together for a year will run in better than the new lineup and cooperate more tacitly. This is what most championship teams choose to do. The Mavericks, who have been dismantling the championship lineup in the past, were beaten into a pig's head by the same first-year opponent last year, the Clippers, in the second year. Now the Clippers seem to have not seen the Mavericks' problem, and they are going to learn from the past.
