Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 452 Shut Your Mouth

Three days later, the Cavaliers' championship parade began.

The whole Cleveland was unusually lively.

Two consecutive championships!

In the entire history of the NBA, there are only a handful of teams that can win two consecutive championships.

And now, one of them is the Cleveland Cavaliers!
"Win another championship, and we will be a three-peat dynasty!"

Everyone in Cleveland is also looking forward to the next season.

They are like romantic and innocent children, holding what's in their hands, but still thinking about what's in the pot.

And such expectations gradually spread throughout the city of Cleveland.

In the end it has also become the voice of the city.

Cavaliers general manager's office.

Looking at the reports in his hand, Jim Paxson was already very busy.

Here's the free agency list for this season's NBA offseason.

"Chauncey Billups, Vince Carter, Maurice Williams, Grant Hill
Damn it, there is no one here who can replace Zhao Hao's role in the team! "

Seeing this, Jim Paxson threw the report in his hand on the table angrily.

If someone is here at this time, he will be very surprised.

Because the Cavaliers actually chose to find Zhao Hao's replacement.

To be precise, Jim Paxson is already starting to choose Zhao Hao's replacement.

There is no way, Zhao Hao's Achilles tendon rupture has become a fact.

And judging from the news now, it will be difficult for Zhao Hao to return to the court even in the future.

Therefore, Jim Paxson also had to plan ahead and think about the future ahead of time.

The Cavaliers won two consecutive championships!
Although they defeated the most powerful Lakers in the league this season, they accomplished an almost impossible miracle.

But at this time, not everyone thinks they are the league's dynasty team.

Only those teams that have really won three consecutive championships can be called the league dynasty by everyone willingly and undisputedly.

Among the general managers of NBA teams, not everyone has the opportunity to be so close to the dynasty in this life.

Therefore, Jim Paxson will not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity anyway.

"Just one more championship, just one more championship!
Next season, I will definitely make the Cavaliers a championship team again! "

Thinking of this, Jim Paxson also suddenly thought of a very important thing.

That means Zhao Hao still has a contract!
And it's still a maximum salary contract close to 1300 million!

Thinking back to the three-year 3 million contract signed with Zhao Hao, it seems so sensible now.

If it was a 4-year or 5-year contract signed at that time, it is completely impossible for the Cavaliers to reinforce under this salary condition.

After all, this offseason, James' rookie bonus contract has also expired, and it is no surprise that he needs a 4-year 6000 million or 5-year 8000 million maximum salary contract if he wants to sign him again.

It is impossible for the team to continue to strengthen the team while taking on two maximum salaries at the same time!

"But Zhao Hao has broken his Achilles tendon now, and it is completely impossible for him to jump out of the current contract.

Maybe it's the only way to buy out. "

It's just that Jim Paxson is also beating drums in his heart at this time. After all, Zhao Hao is the team's absolute hero who can defend the championship this season.

Even in the FMVP selection, he overwhelmed James and won the award without dispute.

Now, fans throughout Cleveland also regard him as another hero besides James.

If you really buy him out
Jim Paxson sighed.

"I'm afraid I'll be drowned in the spit of every single Cleveland fan."

It's just that, even so, Jim Paxson still insists on doing this.

For three consecutive championships!
"Therefore, bad things are always done by wicked people, so if you spit, spit!"

hospital.

Zhao Hao's ward also seemed extraordinarily deserted at this time.

Hathaway had to make a movie.

Taylor also had to go to a series of concerts.

Nami also had to return to China to report.

Of course, the three people who left also knew that they didn't need to stay here anymore with Eve here.

Taking care of Zhao Hao, no one is more familiar and thoughtful than her.

At this time, Aden also hurried in from outside the house.

He first glanced at Zhao Hao's injury sadly, and then hesitated to speak.

It wasn't until Eve was dismissed by Zhao Hao that he said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid there are variables in the contract that I negotiated with Jim before."

Zhao Hao was silent for a while.

His Achilles tendon has been broken, and it is conservatively estimated that the recovery period after the operation will take at least a year.

Therefore, for the sake of the team, Jim Paxson will definitely not renegotiate a contract with him at this time.

This can be regarded as human nature, and he cannot be blamed.

After all, without Zhao Hao, the team will continue to operate.

"It's okay, we can wait until next year to talk about the contract extension.

If after this year, my strength really cannot return to the original level, I will also seriously consider the next career. "

But Aden shook his head.

"It's not what you think it is.

Jim wants more than suspending new contract extensions with us.

Instead, we hope to reach a buyout with us!

He has also given out the details of the buyout, a contract of 1300 million yuan, with an extension clause of 5 years, and 260 million yuan will be credited to your account every year.

In this way, your occupation of the Cavaliers' salary space will also be minimized. "

what!
Hearing this, Zhao Hao was also completely shocked.

Jim Paxson actually planned to buy out him, and he was not even willing to give him a one-year recovery period!
It is also completely unbelievable that he will return to the top again.

"Ah!"

Zhao Hao also had no choice but to let out a wry smile.

Indeed, it was the Achilles tendon rupture after all!
Breaking and tearing are also quite different things.

In the history of the NBA, there are not completely no players who stand up again after a torn Achilles tendon and return to the top.

For example, Wilkins, the essence of human movies in the last century.

After returning from injury, he was also able to score 30+ and is still a well-deserved top star in the league.

But the Achilles tendon ruptured.
No player in NBA history has been able to stand up again after this injury.

For example, Cousins, Isiah Thomas, Chauncey Billups, Brand
After the Achilles tendon rupture, they never returned to their peak form, and even became the bums of the league, wandering around.

Compared with the glorious years in the early stage of his career, such a tragic experience can't help but make people sigh.

And Zhao Hao is in such a situation now.

"But after all, you won the second championship trophy for them!

And it's the team's two consecutive championships!
How you broke your Achilles tendon, they know all too well.

At this time, unloading the grind and killing the donkey is simply indignant! "

At this time, Aden was also complaining about Zhao Hao.

He also wanted to say that Jim Paxson's trick of killing a donkey is cruel enough.

If it were him who fought hard to win the championship for the team, but in the end the team did such a thing.

He will definitely jump on the roof beam and scold him for three days and three nights as the grandson of Jim Paxson and the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.

But Zhao Hao's emotions gradually returned to calm at this time, and he gradually became rational.

No matter how much you curse now, or find someone to reason with, it is meaningless.

Only by standing up again and staging the return of the king is the difficult but correct thing to do.

However, Zhao Hao also knows how serious his injury is than anyone else!
Even more serious than Donny Lemon's diagnosis!
"Does James know about this?" Zhao Hao only cared about this at this time.

Aden shook his head.

"Jim Paxson had no intention of telling anyone about this.

Because your prestige in Cleveland is too great now, he doesn't want the team to lose a large number of fans because of you.

He also doesn't want to cause a gap between the team and James because of this incident.

After all, this season is also the time period for James to renew his contract.

So he also proposed, hoping that you can blame this on yourself. "

This time Zhao Hao was really angry!

It's fine if you want to buy me out, but now you want me to be an actor to cooperate with you?
You Jim Paxson can figure it out!

I, who should cooperate with your performance, turn a blind eye!
Of course, based on Zhao Hao's understanding of James' temper, he also knew that if James really found out, he would definitely not agree with the management to do such a thing.

So Jim Paxson's trick is to cut first and then play, it's a shrewd move!

"Of course, Jim Paxson's meaning is also very clear.

After all, it is a buyout, which means that the team will still pay you without you.

Therefore, the buyout agreement originally required the players to make some salary sacrifices.

But Jim Paxson didn't mention it.

In other words, he intends to use salary to gag you. "
