Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Wade once said that when he recruited Bosh, the Heat already had hopes of competing for a championship.

But then James took the initiative to contact Wade and told Wade that he would also come to the Heat.

Wade was naturally embarrassed to refuse, so he chose to cut his salary to make room for James' arrival.

This is the first time he has taken the initiative to cut his salary and sacrifice, and it is also the only time.

Many people will say that Wade chose to jump out of the last two years of the 14 million contract in 4000 in order to sacrifice himself to take the initiative to cut his salary to keep the Big Three.

There is truth to this statement, but it is not true.

Because Wade jumped out of the contract at the beginning, it was indeed to keep the Big Three.

But James suddenly dropped the pick and decided to return to Cleveland.

After James left, Pat Riley directly turned his face and denied anyone, and was only willing to offer Wade a two-year, 2 million contract.

Therefore, Wade's salary cut this time is not a sacrifice to take the initiative to cut his salary, but the management's refusal to give him a high salary.

But the reason for this result:

First, Wade has really planned to sacrifice himself to keep the Big Three.

Second, it was James' sudden departure.

And the biggest reason is definitely the second point.

First of all, to understand a problem, if James told Wade in advance that he would not renew his contract, he would leave the Heat and return to the Cavaliers.

Will Wade choose to jump out of the old contract before finalizing the new contract with the Heat?

The answer is of course no.

If it is known that James is leaving, Wade must first discuss the amount of the next contract with the Heat before deciding whether to jump out of the 2 million contract in the last two years.

In the summer of 14, after James jumped out of the contract, Riley, a shrewd guy, persuaded Wade to jump out of the contract.

In this way, there will be enough salary space to renew the contract with James, and then the Heat will sign the contract with Bosh.

As for Wade, he will continue to sacrifice a bit, and the extent of the salary cut will be determined by the Heat's salary space.

In this way, the Heat can continue to retain the Big Three and hit the championship!

Wade agreed to Riley's plan in order to retain the Heat's existing lineup.

It's just that Wade never expected that James would choose to leave.

Because of this, Wade was cheated by the partnership between Riley and James (no tacit partnership)!

When James came to the Heat for 10 years, he informed Wade in advance, and then Wade took the initiative to choose to cut his salary.

When James left the Heat in 14, he did not inform Wade, and then Wade was forced to resign.

So, Wade only took the initiative to sacrifice once, this time in 2010!

The second salary cut was that Riley refused to give it to you. It was a passive salary cut, not you Wade's initiative to cut your salary!

Of course, these things are for later.

The current Big Three is in a sweet period.

The arrival of Bosh gave the Heat the ability to fight against the Celtics and hit the championship.

And James' initiative to shoot is not just about his ability to compete for the championship.

It's all about putting the championship trophy in the Heat's pocket.

After the Heat had James, it also provided the team with another offensive option besides Wade Bosh's pick-and-roll.

As long as James holds the ball on the weak side, he is a fatal threat to all teams!

Relying on his strong personal ability, he can succeed in singles on the weak side.

If the opponent steps forward to double-team, he can also rely on his excellent passing vision.

Pass the ball to open teammates in the first place to help them score.

The only way is for someone to stand up to him one-on-one, so that he will not easily go inside.

He wants to shoot, just interfere as much as possible, anyway, his shooting is very unstable.

I really want to feel the whole game, and I will admit it when I lose.

Who can guard against James with a basket?

Staples Center.

Players from both sides of the Clippers and Heat came to the field for the final warm-up before the game.

At this time, the TNT studio is also discussing today's focus battle.

"Charles, tell me first, everyone on the court today is someone you are familiar with." Anderson said to Barkley with a smirk.

"But today you have to think about it, because we have specially invited an old friend for you."

Buckley and Kenny were taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the door of the studio, and suddenly burst out laughing.

A donkey was led by the staff to the studio.

This is really an old friend of Barkley.

Barkley made a bet in the studio that Yao would not score 19 points in his rookie season, or he would kiss Kenny's ass.

As a result, Dayao quickly slapped Barkley hard in the face.

In the 8th game of Dayao's career, he made 9 of 9 shots and scored 20 points.

So according to the bet, Buckley needs to kiss Kenny's ass.

But even if Barkley is willing to do this, Kenny is not willing.

Kenny solved this trouble for Barkley. "Ass" in English means a donkey in addition to a butt.

So Kenny found a donkey, and they hung a plaque with Kenny's name on the front of the donkey.

Barkley then kissed the ass of the donkey in the studio.

Although Barkley has a big mouth, he dares to act and is a man!

Later, because of the Clippers' 20-win bet last season, he "kissed" the donkey's Takamaru.

Of course, the bet was finally completed with a meal of donkey treasure hot pot.

"Be a monkey." Barkley finally stopped laughing, "Is this donkey the same one I kissed back then?"

"No, no, no." Anderson waved his hand, "This donkey is that one's child."

"Impossible, it's absolutely impossible!" Kenny laughed and said, waving his hands.

"Hasn't the donkey's Gao Wan been eaten by Charles? How could it have children?"

"Hahahahaha!" The three people in the studio laughed again.

"Okay, what we're going to discuss today is." Anderson came out to control the field.

"Dayao returned to the court after 1 year and 8 months. How will he perform today?"

Seeing Kenny and Anderson looking at him, Barkley was stunned.

Good guy, I finally understand, these two are still going to dig a hole for me today!

"I'm betting on Dayao this time, he will definitely score more than 19 points." Barkley didn't get caught up.

"Oh, busy, Charles, you're not like this." Kenny said with a look of disgust.

"You are a guy who can say whatever you think in your heart, Bi Goman, ok?"

"OK, ok." Barkley raised his hands in surrender.

Anyway, I have already kissed a donkey's butt and eaten donkey high pills.

What is there to lose?

If you don't express your true thoughts, it will be really uncomfortable.

"Indeed, I am not optimistic about Dayao today."
