The Pope of Basketball Community

After the game, everyone on the Clippers put on their championship hats and were interviewed by reporters, waiting for the award ceremony.

The veterans played for a while in garbage time. Nash hit a three-pointer with 15 seconds left in the game. The fans stood up and applauded. Everyone knew that this was the last goal of his career.

Nash was very excited after the game and said to the camera: Someone once told me that one day you will not be able to continue playing on the basketball court. Because by then we will no longer be as good as we used to be and we will no longer be able to satisfy the ball. The requirements of the team. When you are a teenager, you have dreams and become more and more obsessed with the game. At this time, someone suddenly tells you that you cannot play basketball for the rest of your life. This is a very scary thing. , I will never forget how I felt when I heard this sentence.”

Nash choked up, paused and said: I have been afraid for the past two years. The best gift God has given me is to allow me to completely immerse myself in the things I like and fight for the things I love deeply. I am afraid. I retired without winning a championship and now I finally feel that joy.

Afterwards, Nash praised Yang Rui fiercely, and Yang Rui was also happy for him. In this life, he can retire with a championship ring, but in his previous life, when he left the league with nothing, he also took the blame for being like this...

Zhang Lili commented: Yang Rui never relies on any star when coaching the Clippers. His tactics can determine who wins the final award. Three championships and three FMVPs. This time it is Curry's turn. He is more accurate in three-pointers than two-pointers. .”

Yu Jia said: I think the most terrifying thing is that the Clippers did not pay luxury tax this season. There are only three players with high salaries. The Nets are the team with the highest salary in the league and are big taxpayers. This does not bring them a Championship trophy.”

Zhang Liji said with a smile: Many people say that the Nets can't win because of the coach. Stevens is not as good as Yang Rui. This is not said. Even if the Nets fire Stevens, they will search all over the world. You won’t find a better coach than Yang Rui.”

Yang Rui accepted the interview while holding her daughter Shirley.

Shirley is used to big scenes and has become a Hollywood child star. She often guest stars in movies. She has no stage fright and waves towards the camera to steal the spotlight.

The reporter asked: This is your eleventh championship ring. The total number of rings has equaled that of Bill Russell. What do you think?

The next step is to surpass. I hope to continue to lead the team to win the championship next year. Since the NBA has grown to dozens of teams, no team has achieved four consecutive championships. I hope to set this record.

The reporter asked: Some people say that the gold content of the ring you obtained is higher than that of Russell. What do you think?

What? Did the rings of that era cut corners? The gold content of the Clippers' rings will never be low, and there will never be one less gem. I will personally participate in the design of this ring. Yang Rui directly changed the topic , the scene burst into laughter.

Yang Rui doesn't want to be said to disrespect his predecessors, and he has no interest in praising Russell.

The reporter asked: The Clippers have many free agents in the summer. Are you troubled by this?

No. Yang Rui shook his head lightly without saying a word.

The reporter asked: How are you going to celebrate winning the championship?

Yang Rui smiled and said: It's nothing special. After the press conference, everyone went to the Serenity to have a party, live on the boat, and continue to play tomorrow. Fishing, diving, dancing, etc. on the sea. After two days of fun, there will be a championship parade. We will go back to the dressing room later. Let’s celebrate with the champagne first, I just asked someone to deliver it today.”

The last words are a bit exciting. The champagne just sent by the Clippers today can be used. The champagne Prokhorov prepared before the start of the finals can only be taken home and drank by himself.

At this moment, Prokhorov was depressed at home. He did not come to watch the game and even changed the channel after watching only half of the game. He knows that if the Nets want to defeat the Clippers and win the championship, they must make a major lineup change. With the Nets' salary space locked up, they can only try to trade in the summer. It is very difficult to exchange for better people.

At the press conference, Yang Rui and the players praised each other.

The holidays have officially entered.

Yang Rui became the boss, and everyone was satisfied. In terms of celebration parties alone, he was much more generous than Donald Sterling, throwing out millions for fun without even frowning.

Yang Rui would never save this kind of money. He thought it was a good deal.

NBA teams are different from those football giants. In football, club owners can set winning bonuses at will. If they win, money will be paid directly to the players. If BA randomly gives bonuses to players, players will not be allowed to reduce their salary and renew their contracts in the future. The details such as holding parties are usually better for the players, which has become an important way for the boss and the players to build relationships.

At the party, Rudy Gay chatted with Yang Rui alone. He first said some words of thanks and then said that he wanted to get out of the last year of his contract.

Gay joined the Clippers with a full middle-class salary and became one of the lowest-paid and high-performance players in the league. He has played for the Clippers for four years. As long as he breaks out of the contract, he will definitely get a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions. Now that he has three rings in hand, he wants to make more money.

Yang Rui smiled slightly and whispered: Rudy, I know that you and Tyson (Chandler) both want to get out of the contract. There are some things I will only say to you. You just need to know what you know. Don't tell Tyson, otherwise it will appear that I It’s so uninteresting. Don’t break out of your contract, play another season for the Clippers, and wait until you become a free agent next year to sign a high-paying long-term contract. You can earn tens of millions more.”

Why? Guy was shocked.

Have you forgotten who I am? Facebook has already got inside information. In the future, NBA broadcast rights will increase, the salary cap will increase, and players' salaries will also increase significantly. It will be reflected next summer. If you do this If you skip the contract during the season, you are a restricted free agent. The contract offered to you by other teams will not be very high. If I ask the manager to match it, won't I have to squeeze you for many more years? So I decided to tell you this.

In Yang Rui's previous life, on the first day of the 2015 free market, the NBA spent 1.5 billion, entering the era of sky-high prices.

At that time, any star can get an annual salary of 20 million, and a role player can get an annual salary of 10 million. Looking at Gay getting a lower annual salary, Yang Rui is a little embarrassed. Even if they break up, he hopes to see everyone happy. .

Yang Rui didn't tell Chandler about this because Chandler was no longer short of money. He had already signed two large contracts with an annual salary of tens of millions, and this year he would sign a third one. What's more, Chandler is in a period of decline. Yang Rui hopes that he will leave to free up salary space and there will be more choices in the free market.

Guy thought for a moment and then agreed. Jerry, thank you for telling me this. I'm willing to stay.

Play hard and try to make the All-Stars next season. The contract will be bigger then. Yang Rui patted Gay on the back.

In this way, the small forward position will still be strong next season, which will also be good for the Clippers. The Clippers are dual-core inside and outside, but the key to the defensive end has always been the swingman.

The entire party was exclusively interviewed by Facebook, and some interesting clips were edited and posted online afterwards.

Two days later, the Clippers held their championship parade, which was another lively fan gathering. Reporters from various countries came to interview, and many tourists participated. Since 2005, the NBA championship parade seems to have become a traditional festival in Los Angeles, but the team has changed to do it.

Many Lakers fans began to support the Clippers, including the famous actor Jack Nicholson. The Clippers are already the recognized overlord of the NBA.
