Chapter 527

"Inflated Clippers, Chris is the Clippers' second champion, we must keep him!"

"Chris deserves a big five-year max contract, and the Clippers need to apologize for what they did."

The local media in Los Angeles are not very satisfied with the choice of the Clippers. They hope to see the Clippers win the championship again. Kobe Bryant is injured, so their hope of winning the championship next year will become very slim. This summer, Dwight Howard chose to go to the Rockets, and they have no chance of winning the championship.

At the same time, the Chinese team's basketball media is standing on the same front with the local media in Los Angeles. Similarly, they are dissatisfied with the Clippers' hesitation this time. "Security" combination cannot be split!This is the opinion of the collective Chinese fans, who have not forgotten the defensive deterrence on the perimeter when this combination was just formed.

Although Chris Paul's performance in the back end was really mediocre last season, this does not prevent Chris Paul from still playing a very important role on the defensive end.

Regarding this point, the reporters in Los Angeles and the Chinese basketball circle are all very eager to know An Sheng's opinion on this matter. The whole world knows that as long as An Sheng says that he wants to play with Chris Paul, Then the management will definitely keep Chris Paul with the maximum salary.

Faced with a lot of inquiries from reporters, An Sheng, who was still ignorant, felt very helpless, but since he was asked about this matter, he couldn't escape it, so he just answered honestly according to his own ideas : "Chris is a very good teammate. I like the feeling of playing with him, but I will not interfere with the management's decision-making! If they think it is right to do so!"

This sentence is not enough for reporters who want to hear a lot of information. An Sheng thinks that Chris Paul is very good, but he did not give a direct response, and did not say whether this matter should be the case. He thinks Nothing the management does has anything to do with him. He doesn't look like a superstar at all. He is the well-deserved No.1 this year!Last year's LeBron James ad could be seamlessly connected to him now, but he said he doesn't pay attention to any plans of the team management.

This is very uncomfortable for the media, they are even guessing whether the relationship between An Sheng and Chris Paul is very ordinary!For some big media, it was only guesswork, while some small media directly started to speculate. For these media, An Sheng had already taken out his own notebook and included them all in his blacklist.

More than August, for a superstar who has just won the championship, it is very strange that he has not yet announced his next home.Where is Paul's next home? In the current league, there are not many teams that can provide maximum salary.The Rockets have chosen Dwight Howard, and Andrew Bynum has almost chosen to stay with the 8ers.

And now Chris Paul doesn't seem to have many choices. He doesn't want to go to some teams that are too weak, and he doesn't want to go to a small city like New Orleans. Staying in Los Angeles is their only choice, but the Clippers Still haven't let go of the 5-year maximum salary.

The two sides insisted on their own words and almost never gave in. When it was about to collapse, Steve Ballmer, the boss, stood up. Although he was rich and willing to call the luxury tax, he understood that he had always It is impossible for the team to keep the Big Three forever and pay the luxury tax all the time, so as the luxury tax goes down every year, their luxury tax will become higher and higher.

Tomorrow's Anson can still bear it, but according to Anthony Davis three years later, that inside beast is definitely a template for future superstars. There is no doubt that if you want to sign Anthony Davis three years later, you The only option is the maximum salary.

"Chris, I am very grateful for your efforts in the past few years. To be honest, if I were the management, you would definitely deserve the maximum salary, but I promised him this thing when I let him be the general manager. , I will not interfere too much with his choice." Steve Ballmer said, "What do you think of the 1+1 maximum salary option? You have a year to prove that you can get the maximum salary. If you don't want to Stay in the Clippers, we can accept you to jump out of the contract after a year, as long as the chips are satisfactory. And we will not take risks because of your long-term contract!"

When Chris Paul heard this passage, he began to hesitate, and his agent seemed to be a little bit inclined to this way. He was confident in Chris Paul's personal ability.

On the other side, Gary Sachs, the general manager who became a team executive because he brought Anson into the Clippers, was very surprised by his boss's idea, but after thinking about it, the current idea is not bad.This is an opportunity for Chris Paul, but also a challenge, and the same is true for them.

Before Anson returned to Los Angeles to explain that he had no problem with Chris Paul, and then persuaded Chris Paul to communicate with the management, everything was over. Chris Paul, who was practicing with the team, also laughed.

"Hey! Ann! If the coach says he wants to kick you away and let me be the boss, then I must be the first to agree. Since the reporters say that we are at odds, then how can I let them feel it? !"

An Sheng just went up and gave him a hug: "Welcome back! I'm still looking forward to the pass you give me! I don't want to be the assist leader after becoming the scoring leader and steal leader!"

"You don't want to be the assist leader without me! But I should pass you more balls. After all, my performance next season is closely related to my contract! I have to say, I am not as good as you young people, There is still such a tight market!"

"If other places are good! We will also support you to leave! Life is bigger than basketball, this is something I knew from the first day I learned basketball!" An Sheng said to Chris Paul seriously.

"Of course I know! When I started playing professionally, you probably just learned how to touch the ball! Don't worry! Think about how to defend the title!"

The atmosphere of the Clippers is very relaxed, even if they had some unhappiness before, but for the glory of the defending champion, all this makes them stand together again!
