I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 489 The Boss' Story

In addition to renewing the old driver, the Mavericks also successively signed Dwight Powell and Deron Williams.

Dwight Powell is 25 years old this year. He was a second-round pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. He served as a power forward on the court and played for the Celtics and Mavericks.Last season, he gradually became the main rotation of the Mavericks' frontcourt. He played 69 regular season games, started 2 games, averaged 14.4 minutes per game, contributed 5.8 points and 4 rebounds.

His new contract with the Mavericks lasts for four years and is worth more than $4 million.Year 3700 has a player option.

Powell was in the same class as Xu Xuan, and was the No. 15 pick in the second round of the year. He was a little worse than Xu Xuan's pick, but this guy performed pretty well, at least he didn't get caught.

And the other, De Xiaopang, also reached a contract with the Mavericks. The contract is a one-year short contract with an annual salary of 1 million US dollars.

Deron just passed his 32nd birthday recently. He played in the NBA for 11 seasons. He became famous in the Jazz that year. He was one of the top point guards in the league.However, in the 5-2010 season, he fell out with the old coach Sloan. Sloan immediately announced his resignation in a fit of anger, and has since retired. This has also become an important turning point in Deron's career.After that, he was traded to the Nets, and his career began to decline.Coupled with the impact of various injuries later, Deron gradually faded away from everyone.

It is worth mentioning that Deron got an early bird clause because of this contract extension, according to which he can veto all deals related to him this year.

Last summer, Deron decided to buy out his contract with the Nets, and then joined the Mavericks on a short-term contract in order to regain his glory.Although it is impossible to return to his original peak, on the whole, he still played his own value in the Mavericks.He averaged 14.1 points and 5.8 assists per game last season.

In addition to renewing the veteran, the Mavericks also signed the Warriors veteran Barnes with a four-year maximum salary contract of 4 million.

This Barnes is not the same person as Barnes of the Lakers, this one is called Harrison Barnes.

巴恩斯是勇士在2012年首轮第7顺位选中的，职业生涯前四个赛季他都效力于勇士。在勇士的307场比赛里，他首发246场，场均28.1分钟能够得到10.1分4.6个篮板和1.5次助攻。其中在2015-16赛季，巴恩斯在66场比赛里场均出场30.9分钟，能够砍下11.7分4.9个篮板和1.8次助攻，三分球命中率达到38.3%，各项数据几乎都达到了生涯新高。

Despite poor performance in the playoffs and finals, Barnes, who is only 24 years old, is still widely favored in the free agent market, and the Mavericks, who lost their starting small forward Parsons, provided the greatest sincerity, A four-year maximum salary was reported, with a total value of $4 million in four years.The Warriors have given up their matching rights for Durant, and Barnes has naturally become a member of the Mavericks.

Barnes is a player with very good potential, but the price of the maximum salary is a bit high.

In Xu Xuan's eyes, his price is only between 1800 million and 2000 million. If it is too much, it will be overvalued, but the Mavericks are rich and willful, and you can't help it.

And Barnes, with this super contract with an average salary of 2350 million US dollars, surpassed Matthews, who signed 4 million for 7000 years in the Mavericks last year, and became the player with the highest annual salary on the team.

It's all free signing, and the Mavericks haven't had many trades this season, the only one being Bogut from the Warriors.

Since the Warriors successfully got Durant, but their current salary space is not enough to swallow Durant's maximum salary contract, so they need to sell the existing contract.The first thing the Warriors planned to send was center Bogut, and Bogut also cleared the content about the Warriors in Twitter immediately. It seems that the trade is a foregone conclusion.

The Mavericks just happened to suffer frequent setbacks in the free agent market and have never been able to get the starting center for next season. Now this deal can be called a win-win situation: the Mavericks got the starting center, and the Warriors cleared the space.It is worth mentioning that in order to compensate the Mavericks in the transaction, the Warriors also sent a draft pick.

At present, Bogut still has one year of contract expiration, and Deron only renewed his contract for one year. Cuban once said that the Mavericks will continue to look at the free agent market next year, so the Mavericks will continue to pursue the current policy of pursuing big names. , and the current lineup, at least seems to have the power to fight.

At 7 p.m., the game will be played at the Staples Center.

Today, the Mavericks played only 8 people, which is very small.

The previous record was not ideal, only 1 win and 5 losses, ranking last in the West.

Xu Xuan greeted the old driver, and after the two hugged each other, they separated.

Speaking of this summer, the Mavericks are also one of the many teams that are very eager to get Xu Xuan, and compared to other teams, the Mavericks are more enthusiastic about Xu Xuan, because strictly speaking, Xu Xuan was selected by the Mavericks in the draft Yes, it's just that the instigator is not them, but the New York Knicks.

The starting lineups of the two teams tonight were shown on the big screen.

The Mavericks played away games, with only 8 players playing, they sent a starting lineup of Jose Barea, Wesley Matthews, Harrison Barnes, the old driver, and Bogut.

The Lakers sent Xu Xuan, Russell, Ingram, Randall and Yi Jianlian as regular starters.

During the jump ball, Bogut and Yi Jianlian glanced at each other. These two are really old rivals. Three months ago at the Olympic Games, the two even competed for a while.

Beep!

With the whistle of the referee, the basketball was thrown into the air, and the two jumped at the same time——

Snapped!
Yi Jianlian touched the ball ahead of time, and slapped the ball into Xu Xuan's hands.

The Lakers' first attack --

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

With the crazy cheers of the home fans, Xu Xuan slowly dribbled the ball across the half.

The Mavericks' defensive lineup spread out, Xu Xuan dribbled twice in the frontcourt, and a lot of Wesley Matthews defended himself.

This guy signed a big contract last year, and then withered directly, and his scoring average dropped from 16.4 points to 4 points per game. For a scorer at the second position, this is a very fatal drop.

An average of 16.4 points per game can be said to be an All-Star reserve, but 12.5 points is just a role player.

Signed a role player at the price of an All-Star reserve, it can only be said that the Mavericks are really rich.

Xu Xuan was not in a hurry for the first attack, and called Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll.

The inside corner of Bogut's mouth twitched, no, I don't want to switch to you, I don't want to switch to you!
Bogut really didn't want to play against Xu Xuan, and he was afraid of being beaten in the Olympics.

However, Wesley Matthews was also a bachelor, and he didn't intend to go around the screen at all. When he saw Yi Jian coming over with a pick-and-roll, he changed directly without hesitation.

Bogut: "."

I want to die so badly!

Boom, boom, boom!

Bogut closed his eyes—this familiar rhythm, familiar voice, Falk squid!

Again!
Here he is again!

But no matter how much he didn't want to go, Bogut had to change.

Die generously!

Heroic sacrifice!

This is Bogut now.

Xu Xuan was not in a hurry to make a shot by himself, but passed the ball to Russell in the bottom corner, and took Bogut to the other side by himself.

Obviously, Xu Xuan could feel a sigh of relief from Bogut.

Xu Xuan: "."

Are you so afraid of me?
You are also an All-Star!

Russell singles Barea's mid-range jumper.

The opponent used Wesley Matthews to defend himself, and Barea was naturally defending Russell.

There is no way, Xu Xuan's current height, many teams have no choice but to use the second position to defend.

For example, in this Mavericks, their point guard Barea is only 183 tall, and Xu Xuan is almost 196 now.

You let a person with a height of 183 defend a person with a height of 196. Unless you are Beverly, even if it is Beverly, in the games between him and Durant in the previous life, did he really defend Durant?

Isn't it just how many points should be scored?

0:2.

The offense of the Mavericks is still relatively traditional. The old driver occupied the absolute right to shoot. After the first quarter, the two sides scored 25 to 27, and the Lakers led by 2 points.

The old driver played well in the first quarter, scoring 5 of 3 singles and scoring 7 points.

Sometimes Xu Xuan really admires these veterans. They are really different from the current young players. Of course, it does not mean that the current young players are not good. Xu Xuan is also a young player himself. Resilience in the guy.

Especially the old driver and Duncan. These two old guys really performed very well at the moment they retired. It has been like a day for ten years, which is simply terrifying.

Xu Xuan didn't shoot many shots in the first quarter, but got a lot of assists and rebounds, 5 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds. These statistics are heading for a triple-double.

In the second quarter, Xu Xuan rested off the court, and the old driver over there also closed his eyes and rested under the massage of the team doctor.

This is really old, the old driver only played for about 7 minutes in the first quarter, and he had to go to the team doctor. I still remember the year when they turned the Heat, the old driver was sick, so I didn’t think much about it. After a few years, the state has declined sharply.

It is said to be a decline, but in Xu Xuan's memory, the old driver can still average 14+6 per game this season, and his shooting percentage is not low, 43.7% from the field and 37.8% from the three-point range. Last season, the season that just passed, averaged 18+6 quasi-All-Star data per game. You must know that the old driver is 38 years old this year, and his state is amazing.

The game was played very well, but because the Mavericks had only 8 players on the roster, the old driver had to play early, otherwise the situation would not be stable.

Xu Xuan, the old god, sat on the bench and compared with Ci Shiping behind him.

The result of the last "vicious incident" that Green committed a crime that led to a fight has come out. Ci Shiping was suspended for 3 games, and Green was suspended for 2 games.

After all, although Green committed an intentional foul, Ci Shiping's behavior of rushing from the bench and smashing the basketball into Green's nose was still more serious, so Ci Shiping was suspended for one more game than Green.

In fact, if there were no subsequent fights, Green's pull was at most a technical foul. This is a very common foul in the playoffs. It was only when Ci Shiping rushed up later that it caused time to make a big fuss. .

"By the way, did you really see Jenny meeting that old guy?" Xu Xuan said suspiciously, "Isn't it a lie?"

"Can I lie to you about this? I really saw it. On that day, the day when the sun was playing, I was going to visit the arena, but I saw it." Ci Shiping said confidently, "Not only did they meet, It seems that they went out together, but I didn't dare to stare, I was driving, and that woman Jenny should know my license plate number."

"Damn! Didn't they break up? Why are they together again?" Xu Xuan said with interest.

This life is different from the previous life. In the previous life, the relationship between Jenny Buss and the old Zen master was completely announced at the end of the year. In this life, at the beginning of this year, the two had already publicly issued a statement, The long-distance love race announced the end.

Of course, the experience of the two is completely different from the previous life. At this time in the previous life, the old Zen master was still the "big boss" of the New York Knicks, and Jenny Buss was still at home. Now, the old Zen master has been killed by Dolan. , and Jenny Buss also became the president of the Lakers.

Ci Shiping said contemptuously, "Who said you can't be together after breaking up? Let me tell you, the feeling of being together after breaking up is better than not breaking up."

"How do you know?" Xu Xuan rolled his eyes, "It's the same as what you have experienced."

"I don't know, but the boss knows." Ci Shiping looked like "someone who has been here".

"Boss? Crap! Hurry up, hurry up, what do you say?"

"Do you remember that the boss had a tragic relationship before?"

"Uh, I don't really understand!"

"That's the one, the one that danced just now."

"Oh——you said that, I understand, and then?"

"Then there was a commotion for a while, my sister-in-law kicked him out, but you would never have imagined what happened next. About a month later, I saw the two of them meet, and the boss told us excitedly when he came back. This feeling is more exciting than before.”

Ci Shiping is also a big mouther, at least Xu Xuan has never heard of such a thing in his previous life or in this life, and all he heard was the news of separation and separation.

Never heard of such a novelty.
Time passed quickly in the gossip, and Wharton Jr. had come to inform Xu Xuan that it was time to play.

The Lakers played well in the second quarter, widening the point difference from two points to five points, 5 to 52. It was Xu Xuan who went up to execute the last attack.

The old driver was replaced, and the old driver on the defensive end was useless. There was not much time. After more than 5 seconds, the sideline ball was sent. Xu Xuan looked at the people on his side, Lu Wei, Nick Young, Larry Sale, Ingram and himself... are all outside shooters.

When I co-authored Frank, I didn't think about what to do after being robbed?
The line-side ball was served by Ingram, and it was delivered very steadily. It was directly passed to Xu Xuan, and Xu Xuan was assigned to Russell. After two passes, the time was gone, and Russell made a three-pointer——
