1972. Postscript - Splash(1/3)

On the afternoon of September 6, 2021, Stephen Curry, the strongest three-pointer in history, scored 3,013 three-pointers, ranked first in history, reached a contract renewal with the Clippers, with 80 million in four years and an average annual average of 20 million.

Curry, 32, got 45.78 million, which is indeed a bit high, but Curry, 33, got 20 million. Even Curry, 33, averaged 3.8 three-pointers per game last season, with a 100-point shooting percentage.

43. He averaged 22.3 points per game and now he has a contract of 20 million yuan per year to help the Clippers free up a full middle class. It’s simply too conscientious!

In the 20-21 season that ended not long ago, the 33-year-old Curry just received his career-high salary of US$45.78 million. Now, it's time to cut his salary, but he is willing to do so, because that man is back!

Thinking about the first eight years of his career, although he had a stage of gloriousness, every time he saw the Grizzlies win the championship, his dissatisfaction with the Warriors' management will become deeper.

Then in the two seasons of 17-18 and 18-19, everything became different after the man became a teammate again.

After Curry and Sun Ce became teammates, they truly understood what they had missed in the first eight years of their career!

He should have cried and made a fuss to apply for a deal in the rookie year. After the rookie contract is finished, he should refuse to renew the contract and sign the qualification clause and go directly to Sun Ce.

After the 17-18 playoffs began, Curry saw Sun Ce who no longer had a playtime limit and was invincible in the playoffs. As a teammate, Curry had a completely different sense. He used to restrain him, and his teammates played with Du.

The same goes for the half-season Lant has partnered alone.

But playing with Sun Ce, Curry has an open shot. Sometimes Curry holds the ball and passes it to Sun Ce. He obviously does nothing, but just pushes the ball through the half and passes it to Sun Ce, which turns into an assist...



During the regular season, since the team was just formed, there were some problems in terms of running-in and team relationships. The record was average and not as invincible as the Grizzlies' Five Fatty Da combination that looked like back then.

But in the playoffs, after Sun Ce made all his strength, Curry suddenly discovered - why is it easier to win in the playoffs than the regular season?

Winning the playoffs also suppressed the conflicts within the team. Sun Ce did not use various methods to adjust his relationship with his teammates like Randolph, Tony Allen, Roll Deng, and Paul George. He has a strong personality charm.

, There is also the "leader's light", and there are no need for those, but there are always teammates who can't stand him, such as Durant, who has reduced his salary and renewed his contract, for nothing else, just because of a woman...

But Sun Ce has his own way, that is, rely on his strength to defeat his teammates!

This playoffs, Durant was completely convinced.

By the 18-19 season, they were injured in the regular season. Fortunately, they maintained a good playoffs. Except for the difficulty in playing with the Lakers in the second round, other series were still easy.

Curry only needs to do the basic work he can do, put the open three-pointer into it, do a good job of restraining when Sun Ce plays singles and Durant cuts in, and the championship will be won...

Unfortunately, in just two years of fantasy time, Curry really envies Klay Thompson, who has been with Sun Ce for 8 years. In 8 years, Klay Thompson won 7 championships!

Finally, the man came back after two years of rest.

Compared to others, Curry's trust in Sun Ce's strength is blind. He believes more than anyone else that Sun Ce can continue to rule the alliance after his comeback.

Not to mention anything else, Sun Ce took a break for 20 months, and only trained with Kobe for more than 4 months. His current shooting level has returned to his pre-retirement level. After Sun Ce came to the stadium this morning, Curry said to him.

Sun Ce launched a shooting challenge. After 5 rounds of shooting, Curry narrowly defeated Sun Ce 3-2! The speed of recovery from the state is too fast, so there is only one possibility. Sun Ce has been practicing hard for more than 4 months!

Also, Sun Ce's physical condition is not as good as he is 31 years old, and his speed is still the fastest. I feel intuitively that there is no big difference between Sun Ce and when he retired at the age of 29!

So, when we met with the team in the afternoon, Curry renewed the contract for four years without hesitation because Sun Ce also signed a four-year contract.

Retired together 4 years later?

Curry had an idea - it was not going to be together since the beginning, and it was also good to go together until the end.

Curry thinks that when Sun Ce returns and signs a four-year contract, he should be retired after the four years. After all, after four years, Sun Ce is 35 and a half years old, and his peak period should be at its end. With Sun Ce's personality,

I guess I won't allow myself to be beaten by those young people.

After signing his name on a four-year, 80 million contract, Curry took a photo with his boss John Price and team general manager Leonard Hollins, and he will post it online later.

After signing, Curry looked at several teammates in the conference room and they all came to witness his contract renewal.

After last season's finals, Sun Ce announced his comeback and the Clippers immediately began to clear the space. John has not had a long contract for free agents in the past two years. The contract renewal for the maximum salary is Klay Thompson and Jokic. The purpose is...

...Wait until Sun Ce comes back! Sun Ce said how many years of rest, with Sun Ce's detailed physical examination report, and knew that Sun Ce was in better health than those when he entered his 10th playoff journey in his career, 29 years and 4 months.

When the rookie who had just entered the NBA was still fine, John knew that this old friend really wanted to take a few years off. For no other reason, Sun Ce's physical condition, even if he had a three or four years off, he would still be no better than those.

The peak superstar difference!

No, aren't you just waiting for the return? And it's only two years. These two years have given them time to keep their energy. After all, the two years Sun Ce played in the Clippers, at that time

The players in the group are not in good health. They have reached the finals for two consecutive years. It's a hell of who can be in good health.

Now, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Curry and Jokic are the only four left in the Clippers.

Klay Thompson renewed his contract for 5 years and 180 million in 2019. He did not accept the 5-year and 190 million contracts given by the Celtics, and he was also waiting for Sun Ce to make a comeback.

Unlike Curry, after Klay Thompson's defense declined, he became a space-based defensive player. He was no longer the type of person who chased others' defense, so the injury has decreased after entering 2020.

Currently, Klay Thompson has three years left in his contract, and his salary in the new season has reached 37.98 million US dollars, 40.6 million US dollars in the 22-23 season, and the second highest NBA history in the 23-24 season is 43.22 million US dollars, which will exceed 43.22 million US dollars in the 23-24 season.

Paul scored 44.37 million US dollars in the new season, ranking behind Curry.

This is definitely Klay Thompson's last maximum salary, but after this contract is over, the probability of him getting a new contract is much greater than Curry. Although it will not be particularly older, the age of Klay Thompson can play is obviously better than Curry

Longer inside.

Jokic's contract has two years left, with the new season being $30.51 million, and the 22-23 season being $32.08 million.

With Curry's 20 million, the salary of the three of them in the new season will reach 100 million... Although an agreement has been reached with Sun Ce, Sun Ce still has no way to officially renew his contract. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the salary cap for the new season will be dropped.

At $102 million, it is more than 28 million less than the salary cap announced in the summer when Sun Ce retired.

But they are not worried. Compared with the rules, Sun Ce's comeback is what the NBA officials want to see the most.

Sun Ce just announced his comeback, and the NBA's ratings will be guaranteed next season, and the sponsors have also become active. Sun Ce, this is a golden sign! During his retirement, the new Nike brand "Air-overland" is still booming.

Development has already achieved momentum to catch up with Air-Jordan. In the two years since Sun Ce retired, his sneaker dividends exceeded US$100 million each year.

The "Thanos Special" proposed by the Knicks once again entered the discussion topic at the NBA headquarters and is negotiating with each team.

Moreover, even other teams are fully supportive this time. They need to stimulate the market too much. It is not just selling tickets. The 2024 broadcast agreement will end. The next two years are the negotiation stage for renewal negotiations. The ratings must be improved.

.

Stu Jackson is not very capable, the school beauty was infected and died during the epidemic... He doesn't die, and the fat like mud is not in the mood to negotiate a new agreement. The current president has mediocre ability and no David Stern

The personality charm, to mention the advantages, is that the operation during the epidemic is very stable, and there is no large-scale infection within the NBA. It is almost the sign of the outbreak of the North American epidemic. Stu Jackson immediately pressed the "force majeure shutdown"

” button.

But this president really has no talent, so he can only rely on increasing ratings and attention to strive to win a larger broadcast agreement.

Don’t worry about the “Thanos’s Special”. The headache is how to sign up now?

You can't trade Jokic for role players, right? Only fools would do that.

John had a headache, Curry had a headache, coach Hollins... No, General Manager Hollins wouldn't have come to the Clippers if he had known, it would have been a headache! Nash and Hornersek, Gentry had a headache, so Clay-

Thompson was leisurely and he didn't care about that much. Sun Ce made a comeback and just had to hang out with his third brother. He didn't think Sun Ce would retire if he had played for another 4 years, and with Sun Ce there, he didn't have to worry about it.

"We have a little difficulty in signing the club, there is only one full middle class! Who can renew the contract?" Sun Ce asked looking at the team's roster.

"Kuzma's rookie contract expires, we have the right to bird, we can use the middle class first and then renew the contract. There are also the right to bird, Morris and Harchris, our 21st pick, the rookie DJ - Steve

Erd…” Nash knew the team’s roster very well and blurted out.

Kuzma, Marcus Morris, Morris Harchris, rookie DJ Stewold, plus Curry, Klay Thompson, Jokic, and his Sun Mr. Sun Ce

After a while, the contract was renewed successfully, and there were only 8 people who had made the decision. If Marcus Morris and Harchris retained the right to bird, the full middle class would be gone.

However, these two, Marcus Morris, is already 32 years old. He performed averagely last season, averaging 6.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. Due to the epidemic, he was directly reimbursed in the 19-20 season and only played last season.

35 games, it doesn’t matter if you give up your bird right.

Morris Harchris, averaging 5.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, the poor version of James Percy, has a comprehensive defense but can only be said to be OK, three-pointers are bad, pure defense and swaying forward, although 28 years old is just

It's peak, but the basic salary problem is probably not too big, just don't want to give it up.

That is, if Kuzma renews his contract, there may be only 6 players...

Sun Ce feels that this comeback is very difficult! You can't start + the sixth man to conquer the world! Kuz played well last season, averaging 13 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. As the Clippers after Sun Ce and Durant left

The team's fourth scorer is quite good, but who knows the rookie?

Young players are not easy to attract, so they will definitely not get a basic salary in this era of soaring salary. Sun Ce thought about it... Anyway, it's the first year of his comeback, so let's have fun!

"We seem to be old, otherwise we will form a veteran army? I think my appeal among old players is still good!

Didn’t those young people say “Thanos are old and the new stars are established”? Or should we form a veteran team and let those young people see how powerful we veterans are?”

...

Curry feels that Sun Ce is here to make trouble when he comes back!

It has been more than a year since I finally met Sun Ce again, but the ending of the first day made Curry want Sun Ce to not come back.

However, Curry finally chose to follow Sun Ce to madly.

The reaction of Klay Thompson, who has been playing with Sun Ce for 8 years in the past four years, made Curry feel that renewing his contract is a wrong choice, so he should retire on the spot! Anyway, he also made 200 million US dollars in profit.

The salary and endorsement fees are not low...

Klay Thompson unconditionally supported Sun Ce’s suggestion, and also took the initiative to talk about the veterans in the league today who performed well, and those veterans really wanted to win the championship...

As for the management of the Clippers, Sun Ce had no idea in his first year of his comeback. It was indeed awkward situation. The salary cap plummeted and they couldn't spend money. In terms of basketball, if they didn't have the same team as Sun Ce, the boss John

-Press is quite an idea, but when Sun Ce comes back, he becomes a hand-off manager, afraid that anyone in the team will not know about Sun Ce's relationship with him, and Sun Ce will do whatever he wants, John Price

I have to pay Sun Ce a salary.
To be continued...
