Chapter 862 [Unintentional Intervention, Whoever Leaves Will Stay]

Four consecutive championships, a new record, but the Clippers' season ending was not perfect, and Curry failed to win the FMVP.

Yang Rui gave Curry unlimited power to take action, but the kid himself failed to live up to expectations. Although he broke out twice, he was defended like a blacksmith in one. In the fourth game of the decisive game, Curry performed averagely, making 8 of 19 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 25 points. 6 rebounds and 8 assists.

Pau Gasol, who newly joined the Clippers, unexpectedly won the FMVP. He did not deliberately compete for it. He just tried his best according to the tactics. The highest number of shots in a single game was only 17. His victory lies in his stability, his efficiency in all four games was not low, and he was unintentional in making mistakes.

He averaged 32.4 minutes per game, scored 17.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 2 blocks. He shot 48.4% from the field, 40% from the three-point range (a total of 4 of 10), and 80% from the free throw line. His data is in the past years. The final was not a standout.

In the fourth game, Gasol even intentionally gave up the ball, actively provided Curry with off-ball coverage, and constantly passed the ball to create opportunities for his teammates. He made 6 of 12 shots from the field, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. Scored 18 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Yang Rui can't abandon Gasol for Curry's FMVP. The finals require the performance of such a powerful veteran. Gasol and Draymond playing together really suppressed the Hawks' inside line. In addition, Nene rotates a lot, and Whiteside doesn't play much, which is too rough.

After the game, not only Curry was depressed, but also the media reporters. Many people didn’t know how to write articles to praise the stars. From the time Gasol entered the league to now, even though he has been selected to the All-Star many times, his popularity has always been tepid. , lack of attention.

From just one point, you can see how low Gasol's presence is. No one has ever discussed who is his lifelong enemy.

He is the most selfless breed in the NBA and is never greedy for the ball. Despite this, he can still remain efficient and have a huge impact on a team.

Of course, Gasol also has shortcomings. The NBA is a sport full of muscles, dunks, and unreasonable breakthroughs. The subtext is that the NBA is about physicality, talent, and a less white sport.

Therefore, the world wears colored glasses. White foreign insider? You can never get rid of the label of "softie". Even if three-pointers are king in modern basketball, countless people will look down on Gasol because he can't lift his butt all the way to the basket, so he is just a "system player."

Yang Rui likes system players, so he praised Gasol without sparing any effort. "Paul is one of the best interior lines in the league. He can be the pivot in many systems such as the triangle offense, Princeton, and Eagles offenses. I like this type of interior line the most."

The reporter asked about Curry's performance. Yang Rui smiled and said: "Everyone will have abnormal moments. It is normal. One or two poor performances does not mean that Stephen has no strength. Don't worry about the details. We have won the championship again. This is the key." "

The reporter asked: "Who is the FMVP in your mind in this finals?"

"The Clippers are a great team. I think this award belongs to everyone, including me," Yang Rui said with a smile.

This is the fourth consecutive championship, which is of great significance. The Clippers players are surrounded by reporters, and even Turkoglu and Crabbe, who are not on the roster, are interviewed.

Crabbe has mixed feelings. He has played two seasons and won two championship rings. He can surpass most current players.

The fate of the players who joined the Clippers has changed due to the Yang Rui Butterfly Effect. They won the championship, but playing time is difficult to guarantee, and it will be difficult to obtain high salaries in the future.

For example, Whiteside, Crabbe, and Covington don't know that they have the potential to earn high salaries. It would be easy for the Clippers to renew their contracts.

As in previous years, everyone on the Clippers held a party and won the championship parade.

Everyone had a great time, and Curry also came out of the haze of losing the Finals MVP. He is 27 years old and already has three regular season MVPs and a finals MVP.

Four championship rings, but Jordan only won his first championship at the age of 28. What else is he dissatisfied with?

After the party, there was a holiday. Many people would not continue to play for the Clippers next season. Yang Rui chatted with every player and thanked everyone. He did not persuade anyone to stay like he persuaded Gay last year.

Yang Rui is already the owner of the Clippers. He wants to run the team from the perspective of his own interests, rather than putting favors first. People who are valuable to the team try their best to renew their contracts, while some people are just passers-by.

Players also have their own ideas and choices, just like Chandler, Griffin, Parsons who left last season...

Facing the future, everyone is just making what they think is the right decision, or making some choices within what they think they can bear, and then waiting for this decision to bear fruit after time and taste the sweetness of this fruit. Or bitter.

Nene decided to give up the last year of his contract and enter the free market early. He has a ring and wants to compete for another big contract.

Nene averaged 21.4 minutes per game in the playoffs, scored 10.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1 assist, and shot 58.5% from the field. There will definitely be teams interested in him.

Rudy Gay, Farmar, Whiteside, Turkoglu, James Jones, Covington, and Danny Green are completely free agents.

Turkoglu is likely to choose to retire. The 29-year-old Gay will definitely get a high-paying long-term contract with two All-Star selections and two Best Sixth Man Awards.

Yang Rui asked manager Olshey to negotiate with the agents of Whiteside, Covington, and Danny Green as soon as possible. They can renew their contracts at a price higher than the market price. They should try to sign long-term contracts and ignore others.

Whiteside only played 13 minutes per game in the playoffs, which was usually garbage time. He scored 7.4 points, 5 rebounds, 0.1 assists, and 1.2 blocks. He shot 62.2% from the field.

Whiteside's weaknesses are obvious. He is just a blue-collar center. His 0.1 assists per game are rounded off. Playing on a strong team, he did not make a blockbuster success like in his previous life. Other teams may not dare to offer high salaries.

Covington averaged 8.4 minutes per game, 3.4 points and 1.1 rebounds. The data is not worth mentioning. It would be easier to stay, and perhaps not many teams would offer him an offer.

Danny Green was selected to the defensive second team. He is an excellent 3D player. As long as he does not ask for a high salary from the Lions, he will renew his contract. Yang Rui believes that he will not do this because he does not care about money and likes to win.

Yang Rui is ready to fill other vacancies through the draft and free market signings.

After four consecutive championships, there will definitely be many veterans who are willing to cut their salary and join the Clippers to compete for the championship. Because the Clippers' core is very young and the coach is Yang Rui, many media predict that they are likely to defend the title again next season.

Yang Rui spoke during the championship parade and assured Los Angeles fans that the team's goal next season is to win five consecutive championships.

Yang Rui wants to use the Spurs' team-building model, where the core players remain unchanged, reinforced by fine-tuning the lineup, and replacing role players to assist the core. This can not only ensure the team's desire to win, but also maintain the depth of the lineup.

The future core of the Clippers has been determined, which is the combination of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Antetokounmpo.

They are both young and good at offense and defense. As long as they are not separated, the Clippers will definitely be a super team. The team has sufficient salary space and can successfully complete the contract extension.

The Clippers have many potential players, and others are also good, but Yang Rui thinks they can be replaced. Who leaves and who stays depends on the status of these people in the future.

In this year's draft, Yang Rui plans to select two more potential newcomers to train, and his past life memories are almost useless.
