Chapter 909
Every time before Li Liang decides where to go, there is always big news breaking out.
For example, in 14 James decided to return to the Cavaliers, and in 15 Leonard left the Spurs to go to the Lakers.
Such news often becomes a pre-show before "Where are you going, Dad".
It can be said that because Li Liang migrates like salmon every year (changing his hometown every year), the mobility of the NBA offseason has been greatly strengthened compared with before, resulting in everyone looking forward to the big drama in the offseason.
As a result, another big melon burst out this year.
And it was none other than Wei Dazhi who broke out this big melon.
Wei Dazhi has been deeply involved in the sports media industry for many years and has accumulated a large number of contacts.
In terms of reporting on the flow of players, he has been on par with well-known reporters like Woj, and even has a vague tendency to surpass.
There is no way, who let Wei Dazhi have a nuclear weapon in his hands - Li Liang's movements.
And this time, Wei Dazhi not only mastered Li Liang's movements, but also the first to learn about James's movements.
Because California is Wei Dazhi's territory, and the James team never reveals the news to Woj.
Therefore, Wei Dazhi had the foresight and took the lead in breaking the news that James joined the Warriors as a free agent.
This is the most difficult road to take, leaving Li Liang with no way out.
The Warriors may also have a hunch that Li Liang is likely not to come to the Warriors.
Instead of waiting for Li Liang to make a decision, it is better to recruit James into his banner and jointly complete the great cause of resisting Gansu!
They are all people who have been deeply hurt by Li Liang, and now they are gathered together for one thing, revenge!
In fact, as early as the summer of '14, when James made Decision 2, Curry recruited James, hoping that he could come to the Warriors.
But James was bent on returning to Cleveland, finishing his unfinished business and helping his hometown team win the championship.
However, for two consecutive years, he was beaten 8-1 by Li Liang's team, and James was a little desperate.
Three years and three years, a player doesn't have much youth to consume.
I have been doing background boards for many years, and I can't stand it anymore.
In 13 years, he was shot through by 60 points, in 14 years he was crushed by 70 wins, in 15 years he lost 1-4 in the Eastern Finals, and in 16 years he was directly swept away.
Lost to Li Liang four times in four years, and there was no hope of winning at all.
You said that if Li Liang stays in the same team, everyone's lineup will not change much, the first year will win, and the opponents will all come to revenge in the second year, and the probability of winning is still relatively large.
Especially the finals.
In the history of the Finals, since the end of the Celtics dynasty in 1970, the two teams have met in the Finals for two consecutive years, and only the Bulls in 1997 and 1998 can beat the Jazz twice.
In 1970 and '71, the Knicks and Lakers each led the way.
In 1982 and 1983, the 76ers completed their revenge on the Lakers.
In 1984 and 1985, the Celtics won seven championships, followed by the Lakers breaking the curse of the Finals defeat of the Green Army the following year.
In 1988 and 1989, the Lakers disputed the acquisition of the Pistons, and the Pistons swept away for revenge the following year.
Expand the time to three or five years, and there are also Lakers who lost to the Celtics in 08 and succeeded in revenge in 10 years.
The Mavericks 06 lost to the Heat, and they got back what belonged to them for five years.
Only the Bulls, Michael Jordan, could refuse revenge in 97-98.
This is the man who can be called the god of basketball.
Of course, maybe in a time and space without Li Liang, there is still a team that can kill an opponent twice in a row.
And now with Li Liang, he is not a team double kill team, he is one person who has completed four kills against another person!
He moves one place a year, and you can't find a place for revenge, because the way he plays and the style of the team have changed.
Every year is a new way to get beaten.
Finally, neither James himself, nor James' team, nor the Nike company behind James could bear it anymore.
Cleveland has a small market and does not have much commercial value.
James decided to go to California, where basketball was even more intense.
This is the same as Li Liang thought.
James has two options, he can go to the Lakers or he can go to the Warriors.
However, on the Lakers' side, the lineup of Love and Leonard is, to be honest, not fundamentally different from the Cavaliers.
Moreover, it has been rumored that Li Liang is likely to return to the Lakers.
After all, I left a message of "I will be back", although I didn't say when I would go back, but maybe this summer.
As for the Warriors, they have been dragging their feet and not renewing Barnes' contract.
Coupled with Curry's child labor contract, the salary cap rose sharply in the summer as new NBA and broadcasters signed new broadcast contracts went into effect.
In the collective bargaining, the employer rejected the employer's proposal to raise the upper limit of the wage cap in stages each year, and demanded a substantial increase in the wage cap at one time.
As a result, the maximum salary contract that a superstar can get has risen a lot.
Then, in order to fill the poor line, many teams flew all kinds of big contracts.
So sometimes it depends on your fate to get a big contract, and if the contract expires in 16 years, you can get a bigger contract.
For example, the stupid Grizzlies gave Chandler Parsons a four-year, more than 90 million contract.
That's not all, the Grizzlies also extended Conley's contract with a maximum salary, giving him a five-year, $153 million contract.
Although Conley is a decorated player for the Grizzlies, although Conley is really good.
But more than 30 million a year?
Push forward five years, there is only one person in the league who is worthy of a 30 million contract, and that is Kobe.
At that time, Kobe Bryant had fought in the league for 15 years, helping the Lakers win five championships, before getting the contract amount.
By this year, a Mike Conley will be able to get it.
Of course, you can imagine how big the contracts of those top players will be in the future.
40 million is not a dream – President of the Players Union, Chris Paul, Vice President, LeBron James.
James is also a beneficiary, and the free agent joins the Warriors, and the contract amount will not be small.
After Wei Dazhi sent the news of James joining the Warriors, he immediately added the details, with a contract amount of 80 million for 3 years and a player option for the third year.
Even after coming to the Warriors, James still has the rest of the league in his mind and is ready to support all sides.
In this regard, his spirit is the same as that of Li Liang, which is the spirit of internationalism.
In this regard, James and Li Liang are both rivals and friends.
They are all players who have the world in their hearts and the universe in their hearts.
After Li Liang heard the news, his first reaction was: Damn, it may be a little difficult to win the championship this year.
After all, Li Liang is not a megalomaniac, he knows that his four championship rings are by no means something that he can get alone.
In every champion, there is the sweat and credit of teammates, and the credit is not small.
Even if it was the Pacers' championship, Larry Bird created the most suitable lineup for Li Liang at that time.
Now, the Warriors have pretty much put together a new galactic battleship, the Avengers
If Li Liang is still in the Thunder, then it will be a battle of the century between the Warriors and the Thunder.
However, Li Liang is no longer ready to stay in the city, he wants to go to a new place and have a new beginning.
A new beginning, if you want to defeat the Avengers, it is not a little difficult.
And this also made Li Liang think of the second point: If I can win the championship again this year, I will be too awesome.
Thinking of this, Li Liang actually felt quite happy.
Life is challenging, after all.
Without challenges, there will be a lack of motivation on the road to becoming a GOAT.
After thinking about this, Li Liang asked Zhu Shu to call, "Call Sacramento, I want to see Divac." ”
Zhu Shu looked back at Li Liang and said, "It's decided?" ”
"Yes, it's decided, there's nothing to hesitate about. But only if they have to agree to one condition for me, so I'm going to talk to him. ”
