Chapter 573 573. Texas Cockroach
"I'm leaving, little love. Don't give it away. You're dressed so...cutely. What if you get caught by the bad guys outside the yard." Liu Ren looked at the big loli who was dressed coolly and patiently. Can't help but drive her back to the house.

Liu Ren almost couldn't help being restless when he saw the clothes that the big loli wore today. She was wearing the ultimate maid outfit, and it was still the kind of ultra-short skirt and hollow top except for the huge one. A passionate young man who has no resistance, he is strong enough if he can hold back.

The big Lolita looked at her own face, nodded decisively, and then quickly ran back from the garage.

"Really, Nini didn't say anything about Xiao Ai, dressing like this is simply tempting Lao Liu and me to make mistakes!" Liu Ren drove to the arena with broken thoughts.

The big loli on the other side kept cheering herself up: "Come on, the master is about to take the bait..."

For the Lakers, they have a great start schedule, like every defending champion.

Like the Spurs in the first month of last season, the Lakers only had 11 games in November. There were only two championship-level opponents, and not many playoff-level opponents. Most of the opponents were lottery or even bottom. I want the Lakers to have a good start, otherwise a defending champion's record is too ugly at the beginning, not only the defending champion, but the entire league will be embarrassed.

For example, last year's Spurs had a terrible start. If the Lakers and Warriors hadn't exploded too much and attracted all the attention away, they would have been as embarrassing as the Heat in the 06-07 season.

After playing the Kings, the Lakers rested for two days and ushered in the challenge of the Dallas Mavericks on November 11.

The Mavericks must have no hope of winning the championship. This summer they were rejected by free agents again. They were given a meal by Monroe and a buffet by Aldridge. The others were not even invited by them to negotiate. .

In the end, Cuban was cruel and threw a four-year maximum salary offer of 7200 million yuan to Blazers free agent Matthews. Money, who would fight against money? The Blazers only offered Matthews a 5-year 5000 million salary offer. Contract, and then the Trail Blazers' NBA first lineup still ran three times, and the lineup was not as good as the Mavericks at once, and Matthews decisively chose to quit.

It may be because of the butterfly effect. Although Matthews still sprained his knee during the season, the cruciate ligament rupture, which destroyed his explosive power, did not appear. Therefore, the Mavericks' max salary this time was not complained by so many people as a hot chicken contract. At most, there is a premium. According to Matthews' market price, it is about 4 million to 5000 million in four years. In addition to the salary cap that will skyrocket next season, Matthews' contract of 6000 million in four years is not so impressive. Mavericks fans can't take it.

Although the Mavericks are unlikely to have a chance to win this year, they are still regarded as a favorable contender for the Western Conference playoffs. Last year they almost surpassed the Pelicans, so this year they introduced three strong players, except for Matthews , and Deron Williams, who was cut by the Nets, and another strong support is former All-Star David Lee.

The Nets gave up completely. In order to avoid paying the luxury tax, because their amnesty clause had already been used, they chose to lay off Deron’s remaining two years of 4600 million contract, and used the extension clause to divide the payment into 5 years, 1000 million per year. Ten thousand, and then the Mavericks claimed Deron with a two-year 2 million contract, and the Nets will pay less to Deron.

The Warriors were out of luck. They still had to pay David Lee's remaining $1000 million in full, but they didn't have to count that money into the salary cap.

If a player is laid off or bought out, the salary will still be counted in the salary cap, but the amnesty will not, but the amnesty is to spend money to make the contract disappear directly. The player becomes a player without a contract at all, and the player who is laid off still has a contract , can be claimed by others, each has its own advantages.

In order to avoid paying too much luxury tax this season, the Warriors used their amnesty clause for David Lee, who signed a 2010-year 6 million contract in 8000 and is now in the last year of his contract, because the amnesty clause will expire at the end of this season. is about to fail.

After the Warriors had Randall, David Lee basically lost his job. He only played 40 games last season and started only 4 times, all of which were started when Randall was injured.

This season, David Lee's salary is 1549 million. Before the amnesty of David Lee, the Warriors extended Thompson's maximum salary and signed a new two-year contract of 1000 million with Livingston. Adding David Lee's salary, the total The salary has exceeded 9800 million, far exceeding the luxury tax threshold, that is, for every dollar paid to David Lee, a fine of one dollar will be paid to the league.

After the amnesty of David Lee, the total salary of the Warriors dropped to a little over 8300 million in an instant, which was just below the luxury tax threshold. The big center Varejao who was amnesty by the Cavaliers, Varejao has 2 years left with a total of 1900 million contracts, which also dragged down the Cavaliers a lot, but even if the Cavaliers amnesty Varejao, his salary still directly exceeded 8000 million. Owen, The combined top salaries of Tristan Thompson, Love, and James have already exceeded [-] million, and there is another Afflalo with an annual salary of tens of millions. This is the second year in a row that they have to pay the luxury tax. It is estimated that Next season will trigger the super luxury tax of triple fines.

That's the way the Mavericks are, whenever people think they're doomed, they stand up like the undead cockroaches, taking the Texas Rockets' title away.

Last season, the Mavericks failed to hit the playoffs. People thought that the Mavericks were doomed, and Nowitzki was hopeless. Who would have imagined that they got Matthews and David Lee, plus the Germans who still have a certain strength. Long plus David Lee, plus their other top-paid player Chandler Parsons, as well as the old driver Dirk Nowitzki, their lineup became very strong again in an instant, fully capable and except for the Lakers , Other teams in the West other than the Warriors wrestled their arms.

For the first time this season, the Mavericks broadcast live in the United States, sending their starting five Tigers Deron, Matthews, Chandler - Parsons, Nowitzki, David - Lee to send out.

If Deron, Nowitzki, and David Lee were five years younger, this lineup could almost compete for the championship, and it would still be super popular.

The Mavericks have always been a very tenacious team, so D'Antoni on the Lakers side did not dare to be careless, and still sent the "Big Five" Antetokounmpo, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, and Whiteside. If you count the height with shoes on, he is almost exactly two meters.

Antetokounmpo is 1.9 meters, Kobe is [-] meters [-], Liu Ren is [-] meters, Green is [-] meters, and Whiteside is [-] meters. On average, the average height of the Lakers starters is exactly [-] meters , perfectly fit Pat Riley's future basketball model.
