data possession

Chapter 152
Tonight's game was a hard one to win, and there's no denying that both teams risked a good game for the fans.

"Leonard, I think we will meet in the playoffs. At that time, you won't be able to guard me so easily." Ning Caichen said after hugging Leonard.

"I'll wait for you!" Leonard looked at Ning Caichen and said lightly.

Ning Caichen felt the involuntary goosebumps on his arms stand up, why did it sound so awkward.

When Ning Caichen passed the Spurs bench, Popovich suddenly stopped Ning Caichen.

Ning Caichen froze for a moment and looked at Popovich.

I saw Popovich looked at Ning Caichen with a smile, then patted Ning Caichen on the shoulder and said: "Ning, you are very good, keep it up, you will be the next superstar."

Ning Caichen was flattered, he didn't expect Popovich to give him such a high evaluation. "This, I still need to learn a lot from the seniors. But, thank you for your compliment!!"

"Ning, are you interested in joining the Spurs?"

Glancing at the corner of Ning Caichen's mouth, he knew that Popovich would not look for him for no reason.

"Of course, I like the Spurs very much, especially the Spurs under your leadership. If there is a chance, I would like to come to the Spurs." Ning Caichen answered ambiguously.

Popovich didn't want Ning Caichen to agree to him, but just expressed his sincerity.

"Think about it, you have seen our strength, if you join, the championship will wear all five of your fingers." Popovich said domineeringly.

Ning Caichen did not expect Popovich to be so confident, and only Popovich has such confidence. Since the 21st century, the Spurs have always been a powerful winner of the championship, but in recent years there have been some bumps.If Ning Caichen really joins the Spurs, there is no doubt that they will crush all the way.

Admiration is all admiration, but Ning Caichen doesn't like the Spurs' on-court philosophy too much.Popovich is undoubtedly a top master coach, but his style is not suitable for Ning Caichen.

What Popovich wanted was a well-disciplined Spurs team that operated completely under his control, and Ning Caichen's personality was out of character, and there was no way to integrate into such a system.

Ning Caichen is destined to be a player with extremely impressive personal data, but the Spurs are not allowed to have a superstar with personal performance characteristics.Therefore, no matter whether it is the Spurs or Ning Caichen, there is nothing in harmony with each other.

Ning Caichen chatted briefly with Popovich for more than a minute and then left.

It just so happened that the video of Ning Caichen talking to Popovich was captured by the camera. Even though no sound could be heard, the 1-minute conversation was enough to make people imagine.

Of course, Rivers also saw the conversation between the two. Originally, Rivers wanted to walk over to shake hands with Popovich to end the scene, but Popovich pulled Ning Caichen to talk.Rivers deliberately slowed down, thinking that the two would disperse after exchanging pleasantries, but he didn't expect to talk for so long.

Rivers is not stupid, he guessed Popovich's intention immediately after seeing such a picture.

The Clippers players are very excited. After all, it is really not easy to suppress the Spurs for the whole game.Now their strength is strong enough, and they are more and more confident in the championship.

"Ning, how do you feel?" Paul looked at Ning Caichen and asked.

Ning Caichen knew what Paul was going to ask, and replied with a smile: "What else can I do, I have seen the strength of a top player!"

"Don't be discouraged, you are not players in the same position at all. It is already amazing to be able to play like this in front of Leonard. Few in the league can have your strength. Your current defense is considered top-notch." Paul said comfortingly.

"You don't need to comfort me, I know the gap between me and him. However, if you really want to fight one-on-one, he can't do anything about me."

"That's right, you have too many offensive methods, he really can't do anything about you, but you can't do anything about him either!"

"Hmph, I need time."

Ning Caichen's battle tonight was the most difficult battle since entering the NBA. Leonard suppressed the game for three quarters, and finally broke Leonard's defensive wall with a mid-range shot.

After the game, Ning Caichen only felt that the data energy in his body began to heat up again, and he knew that this was another sign before the upgrade.He gained a lot from the matchup with Leonard and gained a lot of experience points.This game has surpassed the previous three games, and it is true that he has to fight against a strong team to help his ability grow.

The game between the Spurs and the Clippers has received a lot of attention, and most media have given high praise to the performance of the Clippers today.

After this battle, the strength of the Clippers was ranked second in the Western Conference by the media, and its strength was only lower than that of the Warriors.Of course, the Clippers' Western Conference ranking is ranked below the Spurs.

Most media believe that the strength of the Clippers has surpassed the Spurs. Whether it is the regular season match or the game last night, the Spurs are in the West and have lost their qualifications for the championship.Because, there are two mountains in front of the Spurs that need to be crossed, one is the Clippers, and the other is the Warriors.

Ning Caichen is still one of the focuses of this game. Tonight's game is because of Ning Caichen's outstanding performance on the court, which made the Clippers tonight.Without Ning Caichen, it will be very difficult for the Clippers to win the Spurs.

While paying attention to Ning Caichen, some media also edited the screen of Ning Caichen interacting with Popovich after the game.

A post titled "Old Man Bobo and Ning had a nearly 2-minute conversation, what did they say?" was quickly spread on the Internet.

Fans of good things are most interested in such news.

Generally speaking, no coach of any team will communicate with the opponent's players in front of the court camera for such a long time after the game, so Ning Caichen's conversation with Popovich has many people interested.

Some good people even found a so-called lip language expert to translate the conversation between the two.Curious fans clicked in and realized that they were being tricked. This was just a funny dialogue made up by hand.

However, there are also many insiders who are more familiar with the inside story, and their analysis has described the truth.Although everyone does not know whether this is true or not, everyone is more inclined to the explanation of the so-called insider expert.

"Are you kidding me? Is the Clippers' management head in the water? A superstar like Ning Caichen still hasn't renewed his contract?"

"As expected, Rivers has the final say on the Clippers! If you want to sign Ning, you will definitely need a big contract, and this season Paul, Griffin, Redick, and Crawford will all have to renew their contracts. The Clippers simply can't sign Ning Caichen with such a salary. Unless he kills his son..."

"I agree with Ning going to the Spurs!! The Spurs will definitely win 5 more championships..."

"The Clippers are digging their own grave."

"Hurry up and copy Rivers! The Clippers finally had a chance to compete for the championship, don't be ruined by Rivers for nothing..."

The issue of Ning Caichen's contract extension with the Clippers began to ferment the day after the game, not only in the United States, but also in mainland China.

In the past two days, Rivers has been tossed to death. The harassment of various fans and the media has even alarmed the team owner Ballmer.

Ballmer still believes in Rivers. There is only one requirement for Rivers, and that is not to disappoint the fans.

The next afternoon, Rivers called Ning Caichen to his office.

Ning Caichen had to admire Rivers' eloquence, he was simply an orator.However, in the eyes of Ning Caichen, Rivers' speech performance seemed a bit funny, because anyone who was not too naive would know that Rivers was talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Rivers praised Ning Caichen for a while, then took out a contract and threw it to Ning Caichen, saying: "Ning, you are the cornerstone of our team's future, and the team will restructure around you in the next few years." The team, we will go to the top under your leadership..."

Rivers fixed his figure, looked at Ning Caichen solemnly and said, "Ning, are you willing to make history with us?"

The corners of Ning Caichen's mouth twitched involuntarily, he looked at the stack of contracts on the table and said, "Yes, yes!!"

Rivers smiled after hearing this, pushed the contract to Ning Caichen and said, "Ning, let's make history together. We can't wait to prepare a generous contract for you, you just need to sign on it. It will be our first step in making history."

Ever since Ning Caichen saw the disgusting praise from Rivers, he knew that this contract should be a scam.But he is also curious about what price Rivers will give him.

Ning Caichen curiously picked up the contract on the table.

In Rivers' view, Ning Caichen showed excitement and was infected by his speech.

Ning Caichen didn't intend to take a closer look, but directly skipped the previous pile of nonsense and turned to the page of contract remuneration.

After seeing the thick and black font, Ning Caichen couldn't recognize it and burst out laughing. He looked at Rivers, and really didn't know what kind of mentality Rivers had in making him the offer.

Rivers gave a 3+1 contract, and the fourth year is a team option.

The so-called "team option" means that after Ning Caichen has played for three years, the team can choose to continue to let Ning Caichen play for the team in the fourth year, and of course he will also be paid.But if Ning Caichen's strength is not as good as before or the team's salary space is a problem, the team can choose to abandon Ning Caichen and let Ning Caichen become a free agent.The team option means that all the initiative is in the hands of the team, and if it is replaced by a "player option", it is just the opposite.

It's just this "team option" that Ning Caichen can directly refuse, he doesn't like physical control.

As for the price offered by Rivers, it really meant to send beggars away.

4 million US dollars in 3 years, only 5 million in the first year, and then increased year by year, reaching 4 million in the fourth year.

Big contract! !In Rivers' eyes, this is a big contract for Ning Caichen.
