Chapter 865 [1.5 Billion!] Double 11 is coming early! 】
Yang Rui spent 20 days in China, and in addition to participating in activities, he also visited famous tourist attractions around the world. Everywhere they go, they are led by senior tour guides, and there are bodyguards to open the way.
The Clippers finished the summer league and the outside combination of Devin Booker, Joseph Young, and Norman Powell stood out to beat the Spurs to win the championship.
Joseph Young averaged a league-high 22.5 points and 2.5 assists per game, and he scored 26 points and 4 assists in the final game and was elected Finals MVP.
Becky Harmon, the female disciple of Spurs veteran coach Vicky and the only female coach in the league, failed to lead the team to win the championship. Well, in front of her the old man can only be called Vicky, and Bobo does not have any advantages.
The Spurs' Kyle Anderson averaged 22 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game and was voted Summer League MVP.
Although he won the award, there are not many people who are optimistic about Anderson, and the reason why people are not optimistic about him can be seen from his nickname "Human Creep Essence".
Nicknamed "Slo-Mo" when he was nine years old, he was really too slow, moving slowly, moving slowly, moving slowly, and playing on the court as if he wasn't on the same channel as everyone else.
Duncan once said last season, "It's terrible that I can run past Kyle, I can run past him." ”
No matter how fierce the fast break, it will definitely come down as soon as Anderson arrives, and I thought he was going to call a timeout when he made a steal and the fast break. Because of his high ball quotient, many laughed and said that God gave him a brain but took his body. What's even funnier is that his slow motion, which often overwhelms defenders, slows down with him, gets into his rhythm, and watches him score.
In the summer league, the pundits are most optimistic about Booker of the Clippers.
When Booker entered the draft, everyone thought he was just a catch-and-shoot player, and he was born on October 30, 1996, and he is currently the youngest NBA player.
Surprisingly, Booker showed amazing basketball skills, such as probing and breaking, European stepping, board throwing, turning and shooting, changing to step back and jump shots, fake fouls, catching the ball and stopping jump shots, etc......
He's all-traded, he's an offensive kaleidoscope, he looks like an old fritter who's been playing in the NBA for years, and his summer league goals make for a 10-minute highlight.
Because he was Booker, who was handpicked by Yang Ruigao, he attracted countless eyeballs, and everyone was stunned.
Who said his template was Klay Thompson's? Look at this play, the template is clearly Kobe!
Kobe Bryant didn't have such a comprehensive skill when he first entered the league, Booker is a person with a trick, because of his poor arm span, he practiced throwing hard in college, and he was more sure of throwing high with his right hand, and he shot quickly and had an extremely high arc, which was difficult for opponents to block.
Booker also averaged 17.3 points per game, and he came off the bench in every game, and his performance was not consistent, but he was full of fighting spirit. In addition to his technique, his marksmanship was praised by all. Thirty-six NBA rookies were interviewed. In the "Who is the top scorer" poll, Booker was elected first place. He shot 40 percent from three-point range and 88 percent from the free-throw line.
In the semifinals against China's He Tianju's Pelicans, Booker played his best game, scoring 31 points and hitting five three-pointers.
Norman Powell, who also averages 16 points per game, is still the best defensive man for the Clippers, and is also favored by experts.
Wharton let Powell play the starting No. 2 position, and Booker came off the bench, which is the greatest affirmation of his strength. If Booker doesn't practice defense, his achievements won't be too high.
Yang Rui read the summer league materials and called Olhi and said: "If there is a team that wants Joseph Young, trade him out and change him to a draft pick, the first round is the best, and the second round is also okay." ”
Although Joseph Young scored a lot, he mainly relied on breakthroughs, and his mid-to-long-range shots were inaccurate, and his three-point shooting rate was only 21.7%, and he was not sure of the vacancy. You can't arrange tactics for a group of stars to pull away and let him break through with the ball in such a second-round show, right?
Olhi asked: "Boss, I sent you the list of free agents you want to join, have you read it?" I think we have to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
'It doesn't matter, the core is determined, we just need substitutes and proper patching. The veterans who want the championship will definitely be willing to wait for us. Yang Rui said with a smile.
Usually the players scouted the team, and the Clippers had the capital to scout the players, and they could wait for the other party to take the initiative to vote, and the veterans who asked for high salaries were not considered, that is, they were attracted by the championship.
On the first day of the free market, BA signed 27 large orders, and the single-day turnover soared to 1.5 billion US dollars, which is simply the "Double 11" in advance, and the most expensive sports league in history is about to come out.
The league signed a nine-year, $24 billion television contract, so from 15 years onwards, the league's total salary cap will start to grow like crazy.
The league's salary cap totals $70 million next season, and the luxury tax trigger is $84.7 million, continuing to break all-time highs.
And for the 2016-2017 season, the salary cap is expected to be $89 million, and the luxury tax trigger is as high as $108 million, enough to sign another star.
In the 2017-2018 season, the league's salary cap is likely to reach $108 million, the luxury tax trigger line is as high as $127 million, and most teams will pay more than 100 million by then.
And next year, the league pattern is more wolves and less meat, because there is a minimum wage in the NBA, and if the team's total salary cannot reach this minimum limit, then the extra money will be divided equally among the players.
The minimum salary for the 16-17 season is 90% of the salary cap, which is $80.1 million, and for team owners, it is better to recruit some players than to rate them for nothing, even if they spend more money than usual, so almost all teams are planning to spend like crazy this summer.
The Clippers have become an alternative, and Yang Rui only plans to make the team's salary reach the salary cap, leaving enough salary space to renew the stars cultivated by the team next year. As long as the contract extension goes well, the total salary of the Clippers in the 2016-17 season will also be hundreds of millions, and the benefit is that the core roster is perfectly retained.
The league soon had some bad contracts, such as point guard Goran Dragic renewing his contract with the Heat for 5 years and 90 million, and actually renewing the Spurs for Kawhi Leonard for a price.
The Spurs let go of two players, freed up salary space, and signed LaMarcus Aldridge for 4 years and 80 million to find a successor for Duncan, so many people are optimistic that the Spurs will win the championship next season.
The Nets re-signed Jimmy Butler to a five-year, 90 million, the same as Leonard.
Even role players like Thaddeus Young can get a four-year, 50 million contract with the Pacers, and the Raptors sign Demar Carroll, a role player from the Hawks, for 4 years and 60 million.
Anthony Davis signed an early contract extension with the Pelicans for 145 million over five years. is also the maximum salary, and compared with Davis, Curry's contract has suddenly become much smaller.
In addition to contract extensions, there are also big-name players who change teams, Monta Ellis joined the Pacers for 50 million in 4 years, the Mavericks have a good record, and his value has also increased a little.
Rajon Rondo joined the Cavaliers on a 1-year, 10 million contract, which was a big surprise. When the Celtics Big Three were there, some people boasted that "Long Bu Shot" was the first point guard in the league, better than Paul, and as soon as the Big Three left, he was directly mixed up and no one wanted him.
The saddest thing for the Cavaliers is that they can't attract big names in the free market, and Rondo is only willing to sign a short contract in order to play good statistics and try to sign another long contract next year.
The Cavaliers' biggest move is to poach Heat blue-collar power forward Tristan Thompson at a premium of 82 million in five years, and their lineup next season is much worse than Yang Rui's previous life.
