In mid-December, the Clippers finally signed a signing. The Clippers signed a veteran partner Jermaine O'Neal who once won the three championships with Li Ang in Phoenix City with a veteran base salary, strengthening their inside depth.

O'Neal Jr. has become an amateur since leaving the Suns and is no longer the big star he used to be.

But O'Neal Jr. has experience here, and his condition has improved last season. Especially on the defensive end, his efficiency is actually very high.

Other teams in the league are not stupid either. It’s not just the Clippers that see that there is still oil in Xiao Ao’s fuel tank.

Lu Kai offered Xiao Ao a middle-class contract with an annual salary of 5 million yuan.

But Ou rejected Lu Kai and instead gave the Clippers a basic salary to invest.

O'Neal Jr. used to be a loyal person, and now it's the same.

If Li Ang needs himself, he will not refuse.

He knew very well that without Li Ang, his peak period would not be so brilliant.

Li Ang took me to fly back then, but now my brother is in trouble, so I will never refuse Xiao Ao!

These few words moved Li Ang.

After Duncan's return, the Clippers won O'O because of Li Ang. Duncan and O'O are actually friendly.

I can only say that Li Ang has not been in vain in the league these years.

However, this contract is still not very favorable.

O'Neal Jr.'s plays as a substitute is indeed very high-quality. If Jordan Jr. really leaves, then the Clippers can withstand the two old men Duncan and O's guard the inside.

However, Jordan Jr.'s matter is not yet finalized, and the Clippers quickly won another point guard in the free agent market to replace Ross.

He is known as the European Iverson and Dallas Manu. Of course, he has a nickname that Chinese fans are more familiar with - a mountain in Puerto Rico.

Although JJ Barrea is short, he is a pretty good point guard.

Of course, the Clippers have no way to sign a No. 1 position at the same level as Ross, so they can only choose the best one within the optional range.

But even so, the Clippers' lineup is still incomplete.

With Iverson's retirement and Ross is reimbursed for the season, the Clippers will only have Barrea as one point guard next season.

Moreover, it was a very risky decision to let Baria play the starting point guard.

So, Li Ang simply told Lu Zi: "Otherwise, I will play the point guard next season!"

Li Ang is really ready to hit the number one position from the inside line.

Li Ang does have the ability to play number one position. Although Ross has been the number one position openly in the Clippers in the past three years, Ross actually doesn't care much about organizing the offense.

Most of the time, it is Li Ang who connects the team.

Moreover, if Li Ang plays as the No. 1 position, the Clippers' starting lineup will be slightly more reasonable.

Last summer, the Clippers signed mourning shooter Danny Green. Although Green has not yet fully grown up, he is not Green who shot the Heat in the finals in the original history.

But letting him start is better than letting Barrea play the starter.

If Li Ang starts as the point guard, the three starters on the Clippers' outside are Li Ang, Green and Barnes.

In this way, at least there will be no obvious weakness.

After hearing this suggestion, Lu Zi nodded without thinking: "Li Ang is right!"

Although he has won three championships, he still hasn't changed at all.

From this point of view, the Clippers' lineup will be the only way to go next season.

This may be the simplest time that Li Ang has ever had in his career.

Except for Li Ang, none of the team averaged 15 points per game.

But Li Ang knew very well that as long as the lineup was properly matched, the strongest power could be burst out.

Basketball games are never a game that can be won just by tying up giants.

Just when Li Ang thought the Clippers were going to start next season in this way, he received a call.

The person who called Li Ang was very surprised.

At night, Li Ang looked at the man in a spotless suit in front of him, sitting upright, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Actually, you don't have to be so formal, we can be a little more casual." Li Ang smiled awkwardly.

"Is it formal? I do this every day. By the way, Li. Can you go and get a haircut in the afternoon? The length of your temples is a little different, and it looks so uncomfortable."

Li Ang:.

After so many years, your obsessive-compulsive disorder has not improved at all!

That's right, the one sitting in front of Li Ang at this time was a patient with late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder in the NBA, the man who was wearing the most straight-forward NBA suit.

Junzilei called Li Ang yesterday and expressed his desire to meet Li Ang.

Li Ang was a little surprised because he did not have a deep personal relationship with Jun Zi Lei.

When they were young, the two were still opponents.

At this time, I don’t know why Lei Alan wants to meet.

Lei Allen seemed to see Li Ang’s confusion, so he went straight to the point: “I’m here to talk about joining the Clippers today.”

There are not many things that can surprise Li Ang, but what Lei Allen said is one of the few things.

"Today is not April Fool's Day, Allen."

"Be serious, Lee, because I'm very serious about this issue with you. Just say it, I want to win the championship. And, I want to beat the Heat to win the championship!"

"Then you may have come to the wrong place. We only have a group of old people here, one of them is still a fool."

Duncan: Xiao Ao, what about you.

Li Ang was quite helpless in his self-deprecation. The Clippers are indeed too old next season.

Young people, like Danny Green and Jimmy Butler, have not yet grown up.

"Yes, your lineup is not an advantage compared to other teams. But I didn't come to the Clippers, I came to you!

Li Ang, I know so well what kind of pervert you are.

Oh, forgive me for using words that might be a little straightforward.”

Li Ang’s mouth twitched, I didn’t do anything to you back then!

Isn’t it just that I can torture you to cry every time I see you, but you just say I am a pervert.

"I mean, I know your ability and your determination very well. I know that even if the Clippers' lineup does not have much advantage, you can turn the tide. You are such a person. After all, I never beat you back then."

"Okay, why do you want to defeat the Heat so much? They have no grudges and grudges with you." Li Ang continued to ask curiously.

"Yes, the Heat and I have no grudges, but LeBron.

This has to do with dignity, Lee. In Cleveland, they always say that they want me to play less time, and even want me to be the substitute. They just treat me as a restraining machine and run repeatedly, but don’t give me any chance to score, and often have to stand in the corner!

But even so, I endured all this. But in the end, LeBron patted his butt and left. The reason was that he felt that he had no strong teammates. I swear that I knew nothing about this before he announced his joining the Heat in the U.S. live broadcast.

Even if I want to leave, I have to say at least.

So what am I? Is this respect?”

Lei Arunhe was very excited. This was the first time that Li Ang had seen Junzi Lei so angry.

Gentleman Lei is indeed well-educated, but it does not mean that he has no temper.

Why did he switch to the Heat in the original history? Because he and Rondo were inconsistent with each other, he also had conflicts with Pierce and Garnett.

Since you don’t need me, then I will go where I need me and defeat you!

Now, Ray Allen has the same mentality. In Cleveland, around James, Ray Allen has lowered his posture as much as possible and has met the requirements of the team and James as much as possible.

But what happened in the end? They left as soon as they lifted their pants.

Ray Allen has always been upset about this, and he really hopes to kill the Heat with his own hands.

You can't win the championship with me, and then you say you don't have strong teammates. If Li Ang leads me to win the championship, does that mean that the problem is actually on your side!?

Besides, Ray Allen wanted to join forces with Li Ang a long time ago. When he went to Cleveland, he was actually the second choice after he had no hope of joining forces with Li Ang.

Now, the opportunity is here!

Li Ang really didn't expect that he would let the old guys come to surrender, but he could actually attract his former opponents to surrender.

If Junzi Lei can really come, it will definitely be a huge addition to the team's strength!

but.

"Your contract with the Cavaliers will not expire next year. I will retire next year. Next year, I will really retire." Li Ang shrugged, he couldn't wait for the gentleman thunder for a year.

But Junzi Lei smiled: "It will expire next year, but I have the option of a player and I can jump out of the contract. Just so happens that the Cavaliers no longer want to spend money on me."

"You didn't understand, Allen. We no longer have salary space. Although Rose can't play next season, his salary is still included. Even if you jump out of the contract, we can't give you a tens of millions of annual salary.

Now, we probably only have a middle-class contract space, so."

"Then sign a middle-class contract, I don't care."
