Chapter 645 [Iron-Blooded Zhan Zhongcheng]

After seeing the news, LeBron James was very conflicted and uneasy.

The knight invited Yang Rui but was rejected twice. Everyone on earth knew it was because of the geographical location. It’s not just Yang Rui who doesn’t like Cleveland, everyone does.

Some people call this place "Ke Village". In the 1950s, it had a population of 1 million, but now it has only 400,000.

This place is an American joke, often ridiculed on talk shows and American TV series. Taking factors such as population, economy, living environment, signing attraction, and external reputation into account, Kecun is definitely the worst in the NBA.

If you travel to Cleveland, you can finish it quickly, because the state-of-the-art arena and the place where James hangs posters are the only attractions.

James is hesitating whether to leave the Cavaliers and join the Clippers. If Yang Rui can create another miracle and build the Clippers into a championship team, surpassing the Lakers, then the benefits of his joining will be great. Los Angeles is a big market with super high exposure. As long as a dynasty is established, there will be a chance to surpass Kobe and chase Jordan in the future.

However, his going to the Clippers also has negative consequences.

In 2003, James stated in an interview that he wanted to bring a championship to Ohio State. "Before everyone cared about where I played, I was just a kid in Northwest Ohio. I walked here, ran here, cried here, bled here... It holds a special place in my heart."

Now, he wished he hadn't said those words. If he breaks his promise and leaves, the fans will definitely be very disappointed and it will be a stain on his career.

And for the Clippers' success, the biggest contribution must be Yang Rui's. People will say that James has the coach's thigh. He has always been a loser and has never won a championship. It is clear at a glance who is stronger than Yang Rui.

James also has a headache. He is a player with his own system and must use his favorite style of play to perform.

What he likes is the organization forward tactic. The ball passes through his hands every round. He launches the offense, scores by himself or breaks through the ball to drive his teammates. He is the only protagonist on the field. Yang Rui seems to prefer inside support, guards running to catch and shoot, pick-and-roll offense, and Eagle offense, which are not what James likes.

The current Clippers lineup also worries James. The Cavaliers pay the luxury tax, and a group of strong players cannot make it to the finals. If he partners with Kaman, Gordon, Dunleavy, and a few role players, what if it doesn't work?

If he doesn't, he'll be in trouble. He won't be able to stay in his team and may even be said to be a cancer. Because Yang Rui could lead a team in the past, but not with him.

Just looking at the overall ability to play, James is the top in the league, but he lacks self-confidence, which was the case in Yang Rui's previous life.

If he was confident, James would not join the Heat to join forces with stars Wade and Bosh. If he wants to go to a big city, he can go to Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles, and then lead the team to the championship.

If he were confident, James would not be invisible at critical moments. James and others say that is reasonable. When teammates have opportunities, it is better to spread the word. But in the Cavaliers, they would rather believe in old men and young boys than believe in themselves. Is this called confidence?

Character flaws led James to finally give up joining forces with Yang Rui.

He thought about it for a few days and decided to form a team to play brother basketball and form a team to win the championship like the Celtics did. The partners to join forces are still "Flash" Wade and "Mountain Eagle" Bosh.

The difference is that this time they are not joining forces with the Heat, but two people are preparing to join the Cavaliers. The three of them had discussed it during the All-Star Game and knew that they would not be able to succeed with their respective teams, and they would not be very happy.

Wade, who did not help the Heat win the championship, does not have a high status in the heart of Pat Riley. Last season, there were rumors that Riley put Wade on the shelf. The chips given by other teams were too low, so Wade did not leave.

It's normal for Wade to be unpopular. In Yang Rui's previous life, Wade, who was the number one superstar in the history of the Heat, a three-time champion, and a 13-year veteran, all left the Heat and was forced to leave by the management.

No matter when James "decided 1" in 10 years,

When James made "Decision 2" in 2014, Wade expressed that he did not want to leave the Heat. In order to strengthen the team, as a superstar in his playing years, he took the initiative to cut his salary twice and sacrificed for the team. Even so, he couldn't bring out any humanity in Riley.

In an era when a starting player can earn tens of millions of dollars in annual salary, and Mike Conley, who has never played a single game, can earn an annual salary of 30 million with the Grizzlies, Riley offered Wade an insulting contract of 10 million per year. Wade still didn't want to leave, and after much of the offseason, Riley changed his offer to 20 million a year, which completely angered Wade.

Pat Riley, a handsome old man with a neat suit and shiny hair, is like a godfather, but he is notorious. Once the players of the Lakers and Knicks collectively resisted the oppressive dictatorship, and was forced to leave twice by the players. Players such as O'Neal and Payton have publicly stated that they do not want to play for them.

People often say that Celtics manager Danny Ainge is cold-blooded. In fact, compared to Riley, Ainge is like a philanthropist. Even if he trades Pierce and Garnett, he will try to send them to the best possible place. Good home. Riley often breaks up with players in a bitter way.

If someone like Riley were in China, someone would record a divine song for him and make him an internet celebrity.

Florida, Florida, the Miami Heat are down.

Florida's largest basketball team, the Miami Heat, collapsed.

Bastard bastard Manager Riley, who owed 350 million from eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and ran away with his Dabai Bian.

Wade had no choice but to break out of the contract and find a job. The original price for Conley was 7 million, 8 million, and 9 million, but now it's all 30 million, all 30 million.

Riley, you bastard, you are not a human being. Wade has worked hard for you for 13 years. You, you, you, you, you, you, don’t give him the maximum salary. Why don’t you pay him back his hard-earned money? Give him back his hard-earned money!

In this life, Wade has had enough in advance. He did not win the championship and FMVP, and his feelings for the Heat are not that deep.

Bosh's situation is slightly better, but he can't stay with the Hawks. The Eagles he joined first produced star statistics, but after Joe Johnson joined, people said that Joe Johnson was the "Eagle King". Both contracts expire this year, and the team can only keep one because both of them will have super high salaries.

Bosh is not the boss of the team, and the Hawks are not a big-city team, so there is no point in staying.

The obstacle to forming a team with the Cavaliers is salary space. Ben Wallace's contract has expired, but the Cavaliers' high-paid players include Mo Williams, James, Jamison, and Varejao.

Fortunately, James is a free agent. He can wait for his teammates to sign and then use the "Bird Rights" to renew his contract.

Wade adopted a sign-and-trade approach. The Cavaliers sent Mo Williams, Jamison and a first-round pick in exchange for Wade and point guard Mario Chalmers, as well as the Heat's trade of 9.35 million last season. The annual salary of Quentin Richardson creates a trade exception.

Wade took a salary cut, with a starting salary of 14.2 million next season, and also brought a point guard to make up for the Cavaliers' lack of No. 1 position.

Bosh low-key announced a salary cut and signed a five-year contract with a starting salary of 14.5 million.

Then, James took a salary cut and renewed his contract with the Cavaliers for six years. The last two years were player options with a starting salary of 14.5 million.

The Big Three have cut their salaries together, allowing the Cavaliers to sign a few more role players and compete for the championship. The players currently under contract with the Cavaliers have a total salary of just over 60 million. The salary cap for the 2010-2011 season is US$58.04 million, and the luxury tax threshold is set at US$70.3 million.

According to regulations, after the team exceeds the salary cap, it can sign one mid-level player, one biennial exception, and a certain basic salary.

On July 8, the formation of the Cavaliers' Big Three was completed, and the whole world was shocked.
