Chapter 645 [Iron-Blooded Pill Heart Zhan Loyalty]
After seeing the news, LeBron James was very conflicted and uneasy.
The knight invited Yang Rui and was rejected twice, and everyone on earth knew that it was because of the geographical location. It's not just Yang Rui who doesn't like Cleveland, everyone doesn't like it.
Some people call this place "Kecun", there are 1 million people here in the 50s of the 20th century, and now it has only 400,000.
This place is an American joke, often ridiculed in talk shows and American dramas. Combining factors such as population, economy, living environment, attraction of recruits, and reputation from the outside world, Kecun is definitely the worst in the NBA.
If you're visiting Cleveland, you'll be able to get around it in no time, as the state-of-the-art arena and the place where James hangs his poster are the only attractions.
James is hesitating to leave the Cavaliers and join the Clippers. If Yang Rui can create another miracle and build the Clippers into a championship team, above the Lakers, then the benefits of his joining will be too great. The big market in Los Angeles, with super high exposure, as long as the dynasty is established, there is a chance to surpass Kobe Bryant and chase Jordan in the future.
However, there were also negative consequences for him to go to the Clippers.
In '03, James said in an interview that he wanted to bring back the championship for Ohio. "Before everybody cared about where I played, I was just a kid in Northwest Ohio. I walk here, run here, cry here, bleed here...... It holds a special place in my heart. ”
Now, he wished he hadn't said it. If he breaks his promise and leaves, the fans will be very disappointed, and it will be a stain on his career.
And the biggest credit for the success of the Clippers is definitely Yang Rui's, and people will say that James hugged the coach's thigh. He has always been a loser, he has never won a championship, and it is clear which is stronger or weaker than Yang Rui.
James is also a bit of a headache, he is a player with his own system, and he must play with the style he likes.
He likes to play forward tactics, the ball passes through his hands every round, he launches attacks, scores himself or breaks through the ball to lead his teammates, and is the only protagonist on the field. Yang Rui seems to prefer interior strategy, guard running, receiving and shooting, as well as blocking and pick-and-roll offense and Hawks offense, which are not what James likes.
The current Clippers roster is also worrying James, the Cavaliers pay the luxury tax, and a group of strongmen can't make it to the finals, so he goes to partner with Carman, Gordon, Dunleavy, plus a few role players, what if it doesn't work?
If he doesn't work, he will be miserable, he can't finish in his own team, and he may be said to be a cancer. Because Yang Rui used to lead the team, but he couldn't do it here.
Just looking at the comprehensive ability to play, James is the top in the league, but he lacks self-confidence, which was the case in Yang Rui's previous life.
If he was confident, James would not have joined the Heat to find stars Wade and Bosh to team up. If he wants to go to the big city, he can go to Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and then lead the team to the championship.
If he was confident, James wouldn't have been incognito at critical moments. Jamie said that it was reasonable, teammates had a chance, and it was better to pass it out, but in the Cavaliers, they would rather believe in the old man and the hairy guy than believe in themselves, which is called self-confidence?
The flaws in his personality led James to finally give up joining forces with Yang Rui.
He thought about it for a few days and decided to form a team to play brother basketball and win the championship like the Celtics. The objects of the team are still "Flash" Wade and "Mountain Eagle" Bosh.
The difference is that this time they are not teaming up with the Heat, but the two are ready to join the Cavaliers. The trio discussed it at the All-Star Game, knowing that they couldn't succeed in their respective teams, and they weren't very happy.
Wade, who did not help the Heat win the championship, has a low status in Pat Riley's heart, and it was rumored that Riley put Wade on the shelf last season, and the chips given by other teams were too low, so Wade did not leave.
It is normal for Wade to be unwelcome, in Yang Rui's previous life, as the No. 1 superstar in the history of the Heat, a 3-time champion, and a 13-year meritorious veteran, Wade left the Heat, and was forced away by the management.
Whether it was James "Decision 1" in '10 or James "Decision 2" in '14, Wade said he didn't want to leave the Heat. In order to strengthen the team, he took the initiative to reduce his salary twice as a superstar in his playing year and sacrificed for the team. Even so, he couldn't bring out any bit of Riley's humanity.
In an era when a starter can get an annual salary of 10 million, and McConley, who has not been in the game, can get an annual salary of 30 million in the Grizzlies, Riley gave Wade an insulting contract of 10 million a year. Wade still didn't want to go, and after a tug of war for most of the offseason, Riley changed it to 20 million a year for him, which completely angered Wade.
Pat Riley, a handsome old man in a straight suit and shiny hair, godfather-like, but notorious, once Lakers and Knicks players collectively resisted the oppressive dictatorship and were forced out by the players twice. O'Neal, Payton and other players have publicly stated that they don't want to play for them.
People often say that Celtics' manager Danny Angie is cold-blooded and ruthless, but in fact, with Leleyby, Angie is like a philanthropist, even if he trades Pierce and Garnett, he tries to send them to the best house he can do. Riley and players often break up in the way of tearing their faces.
If a person like Riley were in China, someone would record a divine comedy for him and make him an Internet celebrity.
Florida, Florida, Miami Heat went out of business.
Florida's biggest basketball team, the Miami Heat, went out of business.
The bastard Bastard Riley manager, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, eating and drinking, gambling owed 350 million, and ran away with his big white side.
Wade has no way, jump out of the contract to find a job, the original price is 7 million, 8 million, 9 million, Conley, now all 30 million, all 30 million.
Riley bastard, you're not human, Wade has worked hard for you for 13 years, you don't give you the top salary, you pay him back his hard-earned money, pay him back his hard-earned money!
In this life, Wade had enough of it in advance, he didn't win the championship and FMVP, and his feelings for the Heat were not so deep.
Bosh is in a slightly better position, but he can't stay with the Eagles. He joined the Eagles first and played star data first, but after Joe Johnson joined, people said that Joe Johnson was the "King of the Eagles". Both of them are out of contract this year, and the team can only keep one because they are both going to be super high-paid.
Bosh is not the boss of the team, and the Eagles are not a big city team, so there is no point in staying.
The obstacle to teaming up with the Cavaliers is salary space, Ben Wallace's contract has expired, but the Cavaliers' highly-paid players include Mo Williams, James, Jamison, and Vallejo.
Fortunately, James is a free agent, and he can wait for his teammates to sign first, and then use "bird rights" to renew his contract.
Wade took a sign-and-trade approach, with the Cavaliers sending Williams and Jamison plus first-round picks in exchange for Wade and point guard Mario Chalmers, as well as Quentin Richardson, who earned a 9.35 million annual salary last season.
Wade took a pay cut, starting at 14.2 million next season, and also brought a point guard to make up for the lack of the Cavaliers' No. 1 position.
Bosh announced a low-key salary cut and signed a five-year contract with a starting salary of 14.5 million.
Then, James took a pay cut to re-sign the Cavaliers for six years, with the last two years being a player option with a starting salary of 14.5 million.
The Big Three cut their salaries together, giving the Cavaliers the ability to sign a few more role players and challenge for a championship. The Cavaliers now have players under contract with a total salary of just over $60 million, a salary cap of $58.04 million for the 2010-2011 season, and a luxury tax threshold of $70.3 million.
According to the regulations, the team can sign 1 middle class after exceeding the salary cap, 1 biennial exception, and a certain base salary.
On July 8, the formation of the Knights Triumvirate was completed, and the whole world was shocked.
