I’m Really Playing Basketball

Although the 2011 Asian Championships were not led by Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, under the leadership of the United Arab Emirates, the Chinese team still won the final championship with a complete victory record.

As far as the status of the six-time champion Chinese team in Asian basketball is concerned, it can be said that the Chinese team participating in any Asian-level event is basically equivalent to Liu Huan participating in the Super Boys.

Not one dimensional at all.

Even without Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, the level gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and other Asian teams is visible to the naked eye.

With the help of Chen Xiao over the years, those Chinese players who have participated in the Chinese training team have indeed improved significantly in strength.

After all, Chen Xiao himself didn't know how many training experience cards he threw in the Chinese team. Even if it was a group of pigs, if they were thrown like this by Chen Xiao, they would become a group of ferocious 'wild pigs', right?

Even outstanding pigs such as Andy, the eldest nephew, etc., can now compete with the top players of the US team in international competitions and perform well.

Of course, Andy has been fighting in the NBA for several years now. He is a good quality sixth man in the Jazz. As a lottery player, he can grow into a quality sixth man for the playoff team. This growth is actually It's not bad, although it's a little worse than his Chen Xiao II's reputation.

In short, at present, as long as you can enter the training team of the Chinese team, with the help of Chen Xiao, each of you may become talents.

And the current Chinese team is such a group of talents who have been specially trained by Chen Xiao for many years.

Therefore, after the end of this Asian Championships, in the officially announced best lineup, not only the UAE won the MVP, but there were also four players from the Chinese team. Except for the center, Haddadi, the other positions were all uniform. All are Chinese players.

It may be embarrassing to say it. In recent years, the Chinese team's outside line has really exploded, but the position of center is indeed a bit of a green light.

Most of the center players in the Chinese team who can succeed Yao Ming are tall and lack dexterity and skills, and their IQ is also quite bad.

It used to be more difficult to cultivate a center in the basketball world, but now there are no good seedlings, no matter how many experience cards Chen Xiao throws, it will be like a waste of water.

Of course, it's not completely in vain. After all, although their strength has not grown by leaps and bounds like the Chinese outsiders, there is still growth and progress.

At least, although they are not inferior to Haddadi, they did not let Haddadi explode.

It is precisely for this reason that when Chen Xiao left the Chinese team, he also knew that the focus of the next stage of the basketball management center and the national team is to find a center who can really be worthy of training.

Like Yao Ming, tall, agile, skilled, and tough enough.

Both Chen Xiao and Yao Ming have already stated that they will withdraw from the national team at the same time after the 2012 Olympic Games. The national team is now blowing out on the outside. Chen Xiao's position can be slightly compensated, but Yao Ming's position is really not good.

The meaning of the national team is, after Chen Xiao and Yao Ming retire, will the national team continue to maintain the dominance of the basketball world? Team competition.

After the retirement of Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, the Chinese team has to keep its honor for a long time in the future, and cannot drop from the world's first to the world's third-class.

Maintaining first-class status has become the biggest goal of the men's basketball team in the next few years, or even ten years.

This first-class is not the first-class in Asia, but the first-class in the world.

To be honest, although there is a United Arab, and a group of good outsiders, this task is not easy.

After all, a world-class team must enter the semi-finals in competitions such as the World Championships and the Olympic Games, otherwise it will be a ghostly first-class team.

Seriously, if it weren't for Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, the United Arab Emirates would not have dared to shout such a slogan.

It can only be said that in this Asian Championship, the Arab League has indeed given the Chinese team a big surprise. Not to mention other games, let’s just say that in the final of this Asian Championship, facing Jordan, the Arab League scored 25 points and 16 rebounds. 6 blocks, completely dominating the opponent on both offense and defense.

In the international arena, the UAE's strength is more stable than the NBA.

I have to say that the UAE's style is indeed suitable for big international competitions. In the NBA, the UAE's defense is definitely not so powerful, and the offense is not so powerful.

At the end of the Asian Championships and after celebrating with the Chinese team, Chen Xiao said goodbye to the Chinese team and returned to the United States.

When Chen Xiao returned to the United States, the news on the NBA side did not have any shadow of the Asian Championships. Chen Xiao as an assistant coach attracted attention at first, but now, the entire NBA is hyping the super performance of many players next season. Big contract issues.

For example, Chen Xiao's unprecedented 5-year 202 million super contract.

Another example is Tyson Chandler's 4-year, 116 million super contract and so on.

Many experts and celebrities are madly sour on TV and in the media, Chen Xiao and their group of players have caught up with the good times.

Especially the former Bulls legend Pi Erye.

Crazy sour words every day.

For example, when Tyson Chandler signed with the Knicks, Mr. Pi said directly: "Twenty years ago, I could not have imagined that a player like Tyson Chandler could receive 30 million dollars a year from the NBA. If the contract is worth 30 million dollars, then I am worth 60 million!"

This is really no way, how can there be no jealous people in this world?

What's more, players like Tyson Chandler who don't seem to be in line with their annual salary have appeared so many at once. It would be strange to say that those NBA seniors are in a good mood.

However, although Chen Xiao is often brought up to talk about things, Chen Xiao's first NBA salary has not been hacked, and even because of such unqualified big contracts as Tyson Chandler and others, even Chen Xiao's salary has not been compromised. The contract seems extremely valuable.

[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】

In fact, the contracts signed by Chen Xiao, Wade, Yao Ming, Luo Ge and others this year are considered to be very valuable.

Wade, Yao Ming, and Brother Luo all chose to cut their salaries for the needs of the team.

Otherwise, Chen Xiao will not be the only 200 million contract gentleman.

It's not that Chen Xiao didn't think about taking a salary cut. To be honest, he doesn't really have such a big thirst for money now. He doesn't lack it, but Boss Qiao and the NBA league have rejected his idea.

Because he is different from Wade, Yao Ming, Luo Ge and others.

He is the top card in the NBA, the card face.

Of course, if he wants to take a tough pay cut, that's okay, but in the Bobcats, it's really not necessary. The Bobcats actually have room to attract people.

Moreover, it can be seen from David Stern lobbying him and the "Durant Clause" in the new collective agreement between management and players that the league intends to break up the NBA's super teams.

By the way, the Durant clause means that after a player executes his rookie contract, he can get a salary of 30% of the team's salary cap when he signs his second contract of his career (a 5% increase from the old contract) maximum salary contract.

However, this Durant clause has a very strict entry threshold, and any one of the following three conditions must be met during the rookie contract period.

The first condition, and the most difficult, is to be elected as the regular season MVP four years before the rookie contract.

The second condition is four years as a rookie and two All-Star appearances in the starting lineup.

The third condition is that the rookie has been selected to the All-NBA team twice in four years.

Because this new collective agreement is the implementation of the new contract after 2011, it starts from the 2007 rookie.

So far, the only players who meet this condition are Durant and Rose.

Originally, Durant's contract with the Bucks was a 5-year, 128 million contract. However, because of this Durant clause, his contract was automatically upgraded to a 5-year 1.45 by the league.

Seriously, you have to ask Durant if he is willing to ask for the extra salary of nearly 20 million. Although he said why he didn't want his money, he must be muttering in his heart.

Wouldn't it be fragrant to allocate some money every year and sign a strong role player?

The reason why the league engages in this new collective bargaining agreement is to prevent outstanding young players from gathering in a certain team in the future.

After the Durant clause appeared, it was basically impossible for a team to have two young players like Durant or Rose at the same time.

At the same time, this can be regarded as the league's commendation for the contributions of players like Chen Xiao, Durant, and Rose to the league.

Although Chen Xiao and the others may not want such a compliment from the league.

Historically, Durant's contract with the Thunder in 2011 was automatically upgraded by the league, becoming the first player to enjoy the Ross clause. Third brother.

This is not something he can decide, there is nothing he can do, and he doesn't want to upgrade, but the alliance is automatically upgraded.

So it's hard to say what impact the Durant clause will have on the future of the NBA.

Maybe this clause will make the NBA more interesting and suppress the top teams, but, in the same way, this clause may not be so friendly to teams in many small cities.

Perhaps, a small city and a team that is unwilling to invest heavily will no longer be able to change history by relying on one or two years of god-level drafts.

Suppress the top and sacrifice the bottom, vigorously cultivate middle-level teams, and increase the competitiveness of the entire league.

All I can say is, worthy of you, David Stern.

The NBA has been so successful, yet you are still struggling.

By the way, in line with this framework, the new labor-management agreement has updated the concept of super luxury tax, and the original luxury tax is no longer a 1:1 ratio.

No more than 5 million, the ratio is 1.5, no more than 10 million, 1.75, no more than 15 million, 2.5, no more than 20 million, 3.25.

If it's over 20 million, that's 3.75+0.5 per 5 million, and if your luxury tax is 30 million, that's 3.75+0.5x2=4.75.

In other words, if you exceed the luxury tax line by 30 million, you will no longer pay a fine of 30 million, but 140 million.

This is still an ordinary luxury tax, if it is the new concept of super luxury tax... that is even more terrifying.

Follow the new super luxury tax concept.

If a team has exceeded the luxury tax threshold in any three of the past four years, and if they exceed the luxury tax threshold again this year, they will be taxed at the super luxury tax rate this year.

Add 1 to the luxury tax rate.

The same is 30 million, then the tax payment becomes 4.75+0.5x2=5.75x30 million=172.5 million.

Such a luxury tax, the average team, who can stand it?

Even big city superteams like the Knicks and Lakers can't stand it.

There is not a rich big man who really thinks money is paper.

The league's salary cap this season is more than 94 million, the luxury tax trigger line is 114 million, and the Bobcats, next season's contract, is just close to 114 million, not over the line, but only a little short.

This is still due to Chen Xiao's starting salary not breaking 40 million, and the basic salary of the boss, Ross, Cousins, DeRozan, Jimmy Butler and most other players are rookies.

No way, Chen Xiao, Roy, Granger, David West, although both Roy and Granger David West have taken a pay cut, the contracts of the four still add up to a super big deal. number.

Therefore, this is also why after Chen Xiao returned to the NBA, many expert media in the league were hyping the issue of the league's salary for the next season.

Because, even from the current situation of the Bobcats, in terms of the new collective agreement of the league, the Bobcats can only last for one season next season.

Because Rose will automatically get a Durant extension next season, when Rose's contract will reach an annual salary of nearly 30 million, and at this time, Rose's annual salary is only 5 million.

That is, the same lineup, Rose's use cost here has increased by 25 million.

Not to mention that Chen Xiao's salary will also increase, Roy and Granger's will also increase, and the contract salaries of the Bobcats' rookies will also increase year by year.

If the Bobcats want to keep the original team, then next season, the Bobcats team's salary will increase between 45 million and 50 million.

Even if the minimum luxury tax is 45 million, the ordinary luxury tax, this fine, that is easily broken 200 million US dollars.

Historically, the Warriors surpassed the limit by 39.3 million and were fined 176 million. The Bobcats really exceeded the limit by more than 45 million. This is a surge in the total number and coefficient at the same time. rhythm.

Therefore, many people say that next season will be Rose's last season in the Bobcats.

This is not unreasonable, it should be said that it is very reasonable.

No matter how rich Jordan is, the Bobcats are no longer short of money, and they can't stand the penalty of the league.

In fact, the Bobcats are not the only team that is troubled by the league's new luxury tax. The Heat, like the Heat, also have this trouble. Even if Wade and Yao Ming take a salary cut, both of them will earn a base salary of 70 million. Anthony of 20 million.

In fact, not to mention next season, next season, the Heat will already exceed the luxury tax line, and exceed a lot.

Experts have calculated that the Heat will have to pay a luxury tax penalty of 110 million next season.

So, next season the Heat will meet, what about next season?

According to many experts, the Heat want to maintain the Big Three structure of Wade, Yao Ming and Anthony, and other players in the future can only be rookies and veterans with minimum salary.

So, a lot of people are saying that the league next season will be…

"Twilight of the Gods!"

The Bobcats, the Heat, the Lakers, such a god-like team, will only exist in the next season, and there will be no more in the future! Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
