I’m Really Playing Basketball

On the night the Warriors won the championship in Cleveland, Chen Xiao left Cleveland with the Warriors players.

Cleveland is Chen Xiao's old club, and it is impossible for Chen Xiao to celebrate in Cleveland after the team won the championship.

And back to California, Chen Xiao, Kerr, Jerry West, Pug, Wang and other Warriors players, coaches, consultants, and senior management received the warmest welcome from Warriors fans.

After all, the last time the Warriors won the championship has to be traced back to 40 years ago. After being a fish belly for so many years, now they have once again become the NBA champion. This is really surprising and amazing.

You know, the NBA double bugs in those days, and the New York Knicks now, aren't they still bugs?

In short, one word, that is, now the entire Golden State, the entire Warriors, are very happy.

Especially the 15 players of the Warriors, even if they did not make the playoff roster, the two fringe players of the Warriors who have never played in the playoffs this season, Charles Jenkins and Kent Bazemore, are very of excitement.

Jenkins was the second-round pick of the Warriors in 2011, and Bazemore was the undrafted that year. The two have been able to stay with the Warriors for the past four years, and they are already very grateful, thanks to the Warriors' quota. Dissatisfied, and their strength is not bad, they have been continued by the Warriors as the team's water cooler administrator.

They are not noisy or noisy in the team, they are conscientious and conscientious, and they are proud of the team's achievements.

At the very least, after the Warriors win the championship, they can boost their worth.

Their two-year contract with the Warriors expires this season. The Warriors obviously cannot renew the two of them for the flexibility of the team's lineup. In this case, they are also ready to leave the Warriors. Other teams find life ready.

As a player of a championship team, even if he has never played in the finals, in the NBA, that is valuable. Many teams are willing to accept a player with championship experience.

And now, they are players who have had championship experience.

In addition to the fringe players of these two teams, the Warriors except Chen Xiao, the other 12 players on the playoff roster, all played in the playoffs and the finals this year.

Among them, Jokic, Klay, is the second and third core of the Warriors in this year's playoffs.

Jokic and Klay are the keys to the Warriors' ability to pass the Spurs.

As for the two starting cores of Nongmei and Bill, although they had a lot of ups and downs in this year's playoffs and encountered a lot of difficulties, they both came out in the end, and Nongmei's defense against Leonard in the Western Conference Finals, Having Leonard disappear on the court with him is also important to the Warriors.

Besides Bill, Bill was very uncomfortable by Ron Howard in the Western Conference Finals. Although he also encountered Conley's tenacious defense in the finals, he found a way to deal with the Warriors in the Cavaliers, attacked Jokic desperately, and played traditional with the Warriors. When the Warriors attacked in singles, the Warriors were able to stand up in front of Chen Xiao, and the player who showed stable one-on-one singles on the outside was Bill.

Let's not talk about whether Bill's hit rate is not that high, but Bill, besides Chen Xiao, can indeed be the second one-on-one singles point to share the pressure for Chen Xiao.

It can be said that with the exception of Chen Xiao, the other four starters of the Warriors this year have all demonstrated their core values.

In addition, there are several important rotation players for the Warriors.

Ibaka, Dragic, Lopez, Livingston, Barnes, Gobert

The six of them are also of great value to the Warriors.

The Warriors have a rotation advantage in this year's playoffs, whether it's against the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals or against the Cavaliers in the Finals, because of them.

Among them, the most amazing performance is of course Ibaka. Facing the Spurs' G4, 12 of 12, he stood by Chen Xiao's side and won a game that decided the final situation of the Western Conference Finals. If it wasn't for Ibaka's explosion , the Spurs lead the Warriors 3-1, and the Warriors basically hang up.

In the finals, in G5, where the Cavaliers counterattacked wildly, Ibaka stood up again.

This insider, who was once considered a jumper and only blocked shots, can also provide a huge help to the Warriors on the offensive end.

In the playoffs this year, as a bench player, Ibaka's three-point shooting rate is as high as 45%, his shooting rate is as high as 59%, and he can average 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. sky.

So much so that many people say that it's time for the Warriors to straighten Ibaka.

Likewise, no one is now saying that the four-year contract the Warriors gave Ibaka is garbage.

In this year's playoffs, the most famous player in the NBA is Ibaka.

In addition to Ibaka, Dragic, a little Nash's passing control, Livingston's almost 100% mid-range shot, Barnes's one-shot defense and cold arrow three-pointers.

Gobert and Big Lopez are waiting for an opportunity to defend and attack one, especially in the finals, when Jokic was in great defensive trouble early, the existence of Gobert and Big Lopez made the Warriors' inside line vulnerable. The two super-giant combinations of Oden and James of the Cavaliers were suppressed, but they were never destroyed. This is very crucial.

Therefore, this championship, these six important rotation players of the Warriors are also important participants in the team's championship.

They are also the owners of this championship.

They are also worthy of Chen Xiao's thanks to them after the finals.

In addition, Chen Xiao also thanked the team's two substitutes, Novak and Ding Yanyuhang.

Although the two of them are not so important to the team, most of their playing in the playoffs and finals is garbage time, and it is true that they cannot be counted on for the moment in important moments.

But the value of the two is not only on the court, but off the court, the value of the two is also great.

For example, in the Western Conference Finals, Ding Yanyuhang simulated the role of Maizi during training.

Just like in history, Pug played the role of a mock Shaquille O'Neal in the Spurs.

Ding Yanyuhang's jump shot with the ball is very distinctive, which can make Klay and other players of the Warriors more adaptable to the defense of Maizi.

There is also Novak, who is also imitating the role of wheat on the training ground, simulating the dry pulling of wheat.

Even if the Warriors played the Bucks in the finals, the Warriors would also let Novak, Chen Xiao's junior, imitate Chen Xiao's other junior, Durant.

With the strengths of Ding Yanyuhang and Novak, the two can actually play an important rotation in many other teams in the NBA, but now the two only have playing time as substitutes when the Warriors are playing garbage, and they are on the training ground. They have seriously contributed to the Warriors, and they are also worthy of Chen Xiao's thanks.

Naturally, Chen Xiao's championship also has their share of credit.

After Chen Xiao's championship this time, he won the seventh championship in his career, which is also the championship that surpassed Jordan. The significance of this championship to Chen Xiao can be seen.

Before Game 5 of the finals, the entire NBA was hyping up Chen Xiao's overtaking Jordan, and even David Stern invited Jordan to watch the game. All of this foreshadowed Chen Xiao's coronation in the NBA.

After Chen Xiao's successful coronation, the public opinion of the entire NBA and the United States can be seen.

Now Chen Xiao's seventh championship in his career has come, and he still has a fish belly to counterattack all the way.

Of the seven championships in Chen Xiao's career, except for the first Nets, the other six were not traditional strong teams and giants.

Even the three teams, the Cavaliers, Bobcats and Warriors, all completed counterattacks with fish belly.

The gold content of such a championship can be imagined, without any black spots.

Even though Chen Xiao's first championship, as a rookie, he played the strongest individual performance in history in the finals and destroyed the invincible OK group. The gold content of this championship has always been evaluated by Barkley as the first in history. .

Seven such championships, no matter whether it is fans, players, famous legends or opponents, no one said anything when Chen Xiao was crowned.

Therefore, after returning to the Warriors, the two owners of the Warriors, Brother Wang and Brother Wang, and the team's consultant Jerry West said that they would hold the grandest championship celebration for Chen Xiao.

And on June 23, during the Warriors' championship parade, more than five million spectators and fans crowded every corner of Oakland. Everywhere the floats passed, there were cheers of "God!".

After Chen Xiao surpassed Jordan in the number of championships, Chen Xiao's fans seemed particularly confident when they shouted "God!".

After all, before Chen Xiao, the God of basketball was Jordan.

And now, it's finally replaced.

In the speech at the championship celebration, Chen Xiao was very modest: "My career has never existed to surpass anyone. For me, I hope that my career can leave something for basketball. Bring something, lead something, just like Michael once, his existence has guided Kobe, McGrady, Iverson, Carter and other young people to pursue Michael's footsteps, I hope, behind me, can also Leaving a path for those who follow and move forward."

Chen Xiao's words are very modest, but at the same time, the height is very high.

Let's just put it this way, in the entire history of the NBA, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to say that what I pursue in my career is not a material pursuit like a championship.

Chen Xiao has such qualifications, but except Chen Xiao, most people do not have such qualifications.

Therefore, Chen Xiao's words are actually very pretentious, but they are not annoying.

Because Chen Xiao has been such a person in his career.

What he has done in his career is consistent with what he said.

If his career was just for the championship, he could have stayed with the Cavaliers and the Bobcats. Even if he came to the Warriors, he could have formed a team, but he didn't.

In history, Lao Zhan devoted himself to belly fish for one season and scored points for one season. Later, because of the pressure of public opinion, he didn't dare to do it. In the end, he said that what he pursued was the team's victory, not the scoring title.

This is very unconvincing.

The NBA championship is very sweet. After winning the championship, Chen Xiao soaked in the honeypot.

Whether it is the NBA or FIBA, the United States, China or the world, they are calling him God. There is no doubt that everyone is praising him.

Chen Xiao's next sweet days can last until the start of the new season.

For Jerry West, a consultant for the Warriors, after winning the championship, he needs to face more challenges.

And the biggest challenge, of course, is the contract of the Warriors players.

Chen Xiao, Nongmei, Bill, Big Lopez, Ibaka, Dragic, Livingston, the contracts of these seven important players of the Warriors will all expire in the 2015-16 season, and they are only left. one year contract.

And Klay, his rookie contract expires this year.

Obviously, for his performance in the playoffs this year, there is no doubt that Klay must be a max salary. You don't give it, some people give it.

5 years and 145 million US dollars, that is definitely not running.

As for Chen Xiao, he will definitely renew his contract with a maximum salary next year, $280 million for 5 years. This is also certain. Even if Chen Xiao wants to reduce his salary, David Stern and the Warriors will not be able to let him reduce his salary, just like The same as Jordan's 30 million salary, Chen Xiao is the face, not only the face of the Warriors, but also the face of the NBA. This is an incentive for players all over the world who yearn for the NBA.

Then, Nongmei, Nongmei is the second leader of the team, and he will definitely renew his contract with a maximum salary next year. Even, he is likely to trigger the Durant clause. At that time, it will not be 5 years and 145 million. If Nongmei is also selected for the All-Star starter next year , triggering the Durant clause, then the renewal of the thick eyebrows will be at least 180 million US dollars for 5 years.

These three players are definitely what the Warriors want to keep, and in order to keep these three max-salary players, the Warriors need to reserve at least $120 million in salary space.

This year's NBA salary cap is 112 million, and the luxury tax trigger line is 136 million.

That is to say, even if the Warriors keep Ibaka, Lopez, Dragic, and Livingston at the original price next year, they will need more than 50 million US dollars. If you include Bill's contract with a minimum average salary of 15 million, that is 65 million, plus the contracts of other Warriors players, that is 90 million, adding up to the three max salaries of Chen Xiao, that is 210 million contracts.

Historically, in order to keep Green, Curry and Klay, the Warriors have to pay 180 million in luxury tax every year, and as the pressure to renew contracts increases, some experts estimate that if the payment continues until the 25-26 season, the Warriors will pay 180 million in luxury tax every year. A total of $2 billion in luxury tax has been paid, which is still accumulated over many years.

According to the contract of 210 million US dollars, the Warriors will pay a luxury tax of 700 million US dollars in the 16-17 season.

This is still a rough estimate. How can Ibaka and Dragic get the original price, and they will definitely increase their salary. Livingston can’t continue to renew the contract at the basic salary. No matter what, they need a mini middle class, and Bill, 5 years, 75 million US dollars , It may not be easy to continue. After all, Clay has a maximum salary of 145 million in 5 years, and Bill has 100 million in 5 years, which is not much.

In this way, the Warriors want to keep the entire championship lineup. The total salary may not be 210 million, it may rise by 30 million, and it may be 240 million.

It looks like 30 million more, but the luxury tax has to pay nearly 600 million US dollars more. The super luxury tax is stepped. The more excess tax, the more you pay.

Just the annual turnover of 1 billion, 1 billion, it is not enough to sell Brother Wang and Pu, even if Chen Xiao is a hidden rich man, he can't stand it for a few years.

After all, the Warriors and Jokic will need to renew their contracts in the future.

So, Lopez, Ibaka, Bill, Dragic, Livingston…

The five important players of the Warriors this season will not be able to keep most of them next season.

Therefore, now Jerry West needs Chen Xiao to make a decision, that is, whether to trade these important players who cannot be retained for chips in the offseason this year, or let them leave freely after the expiration of their contracts every year, the Warriors Get nothing.

Of course, if you leave them all, as the defending champions, the Warriors will definitely have the highest probability of winning the championship next season.

However, after winning the championship next season, the Warriors may be embarrassed. UU Reading www. Most of the important players on uukanshu.com fell apart, won two titles and a third title, and were stuck there.

If they change their chips this season, although the next season will not be very stable, the success will be good, and the dynasty will have a better chance.

There are two choices, one is the chance of two consecutive championships is full, and the other is the highest chance of the dynasty.

Faced with a question like Jerry West, Chen Xiao had almost no thought and made a decision without thinking.

"The important players of the team should respect their ideas. They want to leave, but we don't stop them. They don't want to leave. We can't give them a ride when the fate is not over."

Jerry West is not surprised by Chen Xiao's decision. He knows Chen Xiao, and he knows it very well. When Chen Xiao was in the Lynx, it was like this. Xiaopao, Ade, when they left the Lynx, No dog blood.

Even when Chen Xiao himself left the Bobcats, Boss Qiao didn't do anything **** for the sake of bargaining.

Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Xiao to destroy his growth environment and personality for the sake of his dynasty.

Naturally, such a decision as Chen Xiao naturally created the greatest difficulty for Jerry West's operation.

All the chips will be gone by then, but how can Dynasty get stuck in two consecutive championships?
