"Maybe Tang isn't worth it this season, but next season...are you sure he won't improve?"
"If this is the case, it depends on the courage of the Spurs management."
"Ahem, the management of the Spurs... when did they have courage?"
……
The heated discussion among fans on social media is just the tip of the iceberg, as this wave of discussion was quickly covered by new hot topics.
With the Celtics having no intention of renewing the contract, veteran Ray Allen finally accepted the three-year 3 million contract offered by the Heat.
要知道雷·阿伦即便已经37岁,但他上赛季常规赛仍能为凯尔特人队场均贡献14.2分3.1篮板2.4助攻1.1次抢断,并且三分球命中率高达45.3%!
Riley fulfilled his promise to the fans after the finals loss and recruited the team's best role player in the offseason!
For a 37-year-old veteran, even an All-Star signing would not have been a big deal.
But the problem is, he joined the Heat that beat them last season!
"Vote... to the enemy?"
"Dude, you're using the term inappropriately. This is turning an enemy into a friend. The NBA is a business. Nothing lasts forever."
"However, as the secret of the Celtics team, it is really unacceptable. They have fought side by side since 08!"
"As a Ray Allen fan, I want to say that the Celtics are too careless about the renewal issue. They don't seem to want to renew the contract at all. Many people may not have noticed that Ray was in season Due to injuries in the postseason, his performance was not as good as in the regular season."
"They won the championship together, and they fought the Heat in seven games last season, and once had a good chance of reaching the finals."
"Yeah, I thought Ray Allen was going to end up with the Celtics like those legends."
"As far as I know, his contract with the Heat is 3 million for 930 years, but the Celtics offered 2 million for 600 years, just for that extra year contract..."
"This is really unforgivable, let's beat the Heat in the new season, they are so disgusting!"
……
The Heat took Ray Allen, but Riley's reinforcements continued.
The team first used the amnesty clause to amnesty Mike Miller, who performed poorly last season, and then aimed at the inside.
They first signed the veteran Rashad Lewis, one of the former supersonic duo, with a one-year minimum salary contract.
Lewis still contributed 7.8 points and 3.9 rebounds in the Wizards last season and is one of the team's rotations.
They then signed the "parallel import champion" Kwame Brown with a 2-year 500 million contract.
Brown didn't play much with the Warriors last season due to injuries, but he wasn't bad before the injury.
2010~2011赛季,他在山猫场均能得到7.9分6.8个篮板和0.6次封盖,投篮命中率达到了51.7%。
But perhaps because the owner of the Bobcats is Jordan, he did not finally get a contract extension.
He signed a one-year 1 million contract with the Warriors last season, averaging 700 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
Adding 2 at once, and they are big men with immediate combat power. Coupled with the previously signed Ray Allen, the Heat's strength has greatly increased!
Looking at this series of operations, Tang Tian also realized that some changes had begun to take place in history.
But this is also a reasonable thing.
Riley would be a real fool if failure to win the championship is the same as success.
The opponent is getting stronger, but there is no movement on the Spurs side.
The focus of the management is on the renewal of Duncan, Diaw, Green, and Mills.
邓肯3年4500万,迪奥2年1200万,格林3年1200万,米尔斯3年900万。
After these contract renewals are completed, the Spurs are basically close to the luxury line, and reinforcements basically don't exist.
It is estimated that this is not the original intention of Buford and Popovich.
Holt said on the night of the championship that the team has not exceeded the luxury tax for 15 years. For the owner, the management's performance is great, but for the players, the team's refusal to spend money is not necessarily a good thing.
Tang Tian was a little worried about his contract renewal next year.
But the good news is that the salary cap will rise sharply in the future. Even if the Spurs do get a poison contract, the team will have enough room to match.
After all, the poison contract has a space limit for the team that made the offer, but there is no such thing for the home team.
Almost ten days have passed since the free agent market, and the Howard deal is still unclear.
Many teams couldn't afford to wait, and began to withdraw one after another, and some big signings and transactions also broke out one after another.
The Nets were the first to withdraw. They renewed the contract of the main center Brook Lopez with 4 million in 6100 years, and then left the "tough guy" Henry who conquered Kim Kardashian with a 2-year contract of 2400 million. Frith.
Followed by the Nuggets, they used a four-year 4 million contract to keep JaVale McGee, who has exploded in physical fitness.
After that, the Nets became the new focus of the league.
They first used a deal to bring the "Eagle King" Joe Johnson from the Eagles, followed by using chips to trade Deron Williams from the Jazz, and then re-signed Gerald Wallace with a lot of money. scholar.
In an instant, the main lineup of Deron Williams + Joe Johnson + Gerald Wallace + Humphries + Lopez will be there.
The Russian Prokhorov is really rich, and he directly spent a lot of money to build a lineup.
The person didn't wake up, and the serial number was wrong...
Chapter 298 New Skills (1/5)
The Spurs retained the championship lineup, but the strength of their opponents is getting stronger. For the Spurs, defending the title in the new season is not so easy.
Without reinforcement, it can only be developed internally.
Tang Tian also understood this truth very well.
In fact, even if the opponent didn't strengthen, Tang Tian himself would still improve.
In the NBA, standing still is a step backward, not to mention that this is still his contract year.
Kryptonium makes people strong.
This offseason, it's time to sign another wave of endorsement contracts, and then exchange for a skill that can bring about a qualitative change.
Everyone thinks differently at each time period.
Tang Tian's idea during the regular season last season was to exchange for breakthrough skills. The combination of sudden shots can make the offense more comprehensive.
But after experiencing the playoffs, he realized the importance of passing.
Especially against the Heat, the Heat's unlimited defenses put a lot of pressure on them.
His passing stability is poor, even if he knows where to pass, he dare not play the ball casually, and as a result, he is prone to dead balls.
This also limits that he can only be used as a tactical end point, but cannot transition.
Coupled with the team style of play of the Spurs, with Parker and Ginobili as two ball-holding points, he will not have too many chances to burst.
So compared to Sudden, he needs to pass now more.
Howard's matter still has no further details, and the free market is also going on at random. Tang Tian contacted Fagen and asked him to find a new endorser.
He performed well in the playoffs last season, and he didn't have many endorsement contracts before.
Nike, Coca-Cola, burts.bees shampoo, Dior sunglasses.
There are only a few of them in total, not enough to count on one hand.
So there are still a lot of brand owners looking for him to sign contracts this summer.
Especially the domestic one.
As he became famous, the door of the domestic market was easily knocked on by him.
Chewing gum, milk, beer, mineral water, snacks, and even communications, companies in all aspects emerge in endlessly.
After Feigen screened some, they were collected and sent to Tang Tian.
Although there are many, the domestic endorsement prices are indeed much less in comparison.
Orion chewing gum, $30 a year.
Tsingtao Brewery, $25 a year.
Bright Milk, $40 a year.
Nongfu Spring, $30 a year.
This is also a reasonable thing, because these endorsement contracts are only in China.
Moreover, these brands are not as concentrated in consumer groups as sneakers.
Tang Tian's choice was to sign all of them!
The reputation of these brands is not bad in the future, regardless of whether they can have more lucrative contracts in the future, there is no harm in signing them.
Of course, the most important thing is that he needs krypton gold very much now.
And these contracts had just been finalized, and Fagan brought him another big contract.
This time it's a car brand.
And it's a BMW!
That is, the well-known BMW in China.
BMW is a German luxury car, and it was a surprise to find Tang Tian this time.
The price of a car endorsement is not comparable to that of beer and milk. It is also a spokesperson in China, but the price offered by BMW is 2 million for 200 years.
This one is on top of the three over there.
After signing 5 endorsement contracts in a row, Tang Tian told Fei Gen to stop first.
Although the short contract will not have a big impact on him, but if there are too many such concentrated and explosive signings, it will have side effects instead.
Of course, the more important thing is that after this wave of signings, his krypton gold value is almost enough.
These 5 signings brought about 110 million krypton gold value, including the previous 40 tens of thousands, the total is 150 million.
And the second year of the Nike contract also started, and he also got a krypton gold value of more than 60.
Add it all together, and you have 210 million.
After all the money had arrived, Tang Tian pulled out the system interface.
After scanning the blue skills, he finally locked his eyes on fingertip art (Divac).
Fingertip Art (Divac): Increases passing stability by 15% and passing vision by 10%.
This is a blue skill that requires a krypton value of 200 million US dollars.
Divac was the best inside passer in the last century. As a center, he averaged nearly 5 assists per game in his peak season.
The Kings team, which was popular in the league at the beginning, fought with him as the axis.
Of course Divac is known for another very important thing.
He is the man who changed Kobe alone.
This skill not only increases the stability of the pass but also increases the vision of the pass, which is perfect for Tang Tian.
He directly chose to exchange.
After the exchange, Tang Tian added the passing link in the second day's training.
Unlike last summer, because everyone has a contract and has money on hand, the training hall rented this time is relatively large and comprehensive.
There's the kind of pass-training hoop in it, the same one that's in the Skills Challenge.
Walker usually used this thing, and when Tang Tian passed by, it attracted a strange look from Walker.
At first, Tang Tian was not very used to the sudden changes.
But as the training increased, his passing became more and more accurate, and Walker next to him was stunned.
"Don, do you know how to crossover?"
Walker couldn't help asking.
"What? Crossover? I don't know how to do that."
