Chapter 863 [Inadvertently inserted willows, whoever leaves who stays]

Four consecutive championships, a new record, but the Clippers' season ended not perfect, and Curry failed to win the Finals MVP.

Yang Rui gave Curry unlimited shot rights, but this baby is too unsatisfactory.Although he broke out in two games, he was also defended as a blacksmith. In the fourth game of the decisive victory, Curry's performance was average, 19 of 8 shots, 9 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 25 points. 6 rebounds and 8 assists.

Newly joined the Clippers, Pau Gasol won the FMVP by accident. He did not deliberately fight, but just tried his best to play according to the tactics, and the highest number of shots in a single game was only 17 times.He wins in stability, and his efficiency in the four games is not low.

他场均打32.4分钟，砍下17.3分11篮板3.5助攻0.5抢断2盖帽，投篮命中率48.4%，三分命中率40%（总共10投4中），罚球命中率80%，数据在历年总决赛中称不上出彩。

In the fourth game, Gasol even intentionally gave up the ball, actively screened Curry without the ball, and kept passing the ball to create opportunities for his teammates. He made 12 of 6 shots, 4 of 2 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 veterans of this strength to play. Gasol and Draymond played together, which did suppress the Eagles inside.In addition, Nene has a lot of rotations, and Whiteside doesn't play much, it's too rough.

Not only did Curry feel depressed after the game, but also the media reporters. Many people don’t know how to write articles to praise players. Gasol has been tepid in terms of popularity since he entered the league to the present, even though he has been selected as an All-Star many times. , lack of attention.

Just from one point you can see how low Gasol's presence is, and no one has ever discussed who is his lifelong enemy.

He's the most selfless breed in the NBA, never greedy for the ball, but despite that, he's still efficient and has 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.

So, the world wears tinted glasses.Alien white insider?You can never tear off the "soft egg" label on your body.Even if the three-pointer in modern basketball is king, there will be countless people who look down on Gasol, because he can't pout his butt all the way to the basket, so he is just a "system player".

Yang Rui likes system players, so he spared no effort to praise Gasol. "Paul is one of the best insiders in the league. He can be the pivot in the triangle offense, the Princeton offense, the Hawks offense, and many other systems. I like this type of insider the most."

When the reporter asked about Curry's performance, Yang Rui smiled and said: "Everyone will have abnormal moments, it is normal, a poor performance once or twice does not mean that Stephen is not strong, don't care about the details, we have won the championship again, this is the key. "

The reporter asked: "This finals, who is the FMVP in your mind?"

"The Clippers are a great whole. I think this award belongs to everyone, and of course mine." Yang Rui laughed.

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

Crabbe has mixed feelings. He played soy sauce for two seasons and won two championship rings. He can break most of the active players.

The players who joined the Clippers were affected by Yang Rui's butterfly effect, and their fates changed. They won the championship, but the playing time was difficult to guarantee, and it would be difficult to obtain high salaries in the future.

For example, Whiteside, Crabbe, Covington, they don't know they have the potential to get high salary now, it is easy for the Clippers to re-sign them.

As in previous years, 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 FMVP. He is 27 years old. He already has three regular season MVPs, one finals MVP, and four championship rings. Jordan is only 28 years old. Once he won the championship, what else could he be dissatisfied with?

After the party is the holiday. Many people will 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 as he persuaded Guy 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 human feelings first.People who are valuable to the team try their best to renew their contracts, while some people are just passing by.

Players also have their own ideas and choices, 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 the range that they think they can bear, and then waiting for this decision to bear fruit after the brewing of time, and taste the sweetness of this fruit. or bitter.

Nene decided to give up the last year of the contract and enter the free market ahead of schedule. He has a ring and wants to fight for another big contract.

In the playoffs, Nene averaged 21.4 minutes per game, 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, Danny Green are completely free men.

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 the manager Olshey to negotiate with the agents of Whiteside, Covington and Danny Green as soon as possible. They can renew the contract at a higher price than the market price, try to sign a long contract, and others don’t care.

Whiteside averaged only 13 minutes per game in the playoffs, usually in garbage time. He scored 7.4 points, 5 rebounds, 0.1 assists and 1.2 blocks. He shot 62.2% from the field, and he played the game. Most of his points were dunks.

Whiteside's weakness is obvious. He is only a blue-collar center, and his average 0.1 assists per game is rounded up. Playing in a strong team, he did not make a blockbuster like in his previous life, and other teams may not dare to offer high salaries.

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

Danny Green was selected for the second team and is an excellent 3D player. As long as he doesn't ask for a high salary, he will renew his contract.Yang Rui believes he won't do it because he doesn't care much about money and likes to win.

For other vacancies, Yang Rui is ready to make up for it through drafts and signings in the free market.

After four consecutive championships, there will definitely be many veterans willing to take a pay cut to join the Clippers to hit the championship, because the core of the Clippers is very young and the coach is Yang Rui. Many media predict that they are likely to defend the title again next season.

Speaking at the championship parade, Yang Rui also assured Los Angeles fans that the team's goal next season is five consecutive championships.

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

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

They are all young and capable of offense and defense. As long as they do not separate, the Clippers must be a super strong team. The team has sufficient salary space and can successfully complete the contract renewal.

The Clippers have a lot of 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 is going to choose two more potential newcomers to cultivate, and his past life memories will soon be useless.
