Chapter 457 The Clippers' new good lineup, Stern's worries(1/2)

Since joining the league, Zhong Yu has rarely stopped.

Especially since May 2008, it suddenly broke out, defeated Kobe in the Western Conference Finals, led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the second place in the Olympics, averaged 40 points per game in the new season, Paul was injured and led the Hornets to the first place in the Western Conference, MVP of the All-Star Game, MVP of the regular season, and scored crazy points in the playoffs, with an average of 62.25 points per game in the finals...

After the end of last season, he locked everyone's eyes with a long trading soap opera.

Afterwards, he suddenly said that he was about to arrive at the Clippers! This news made many people stick out their tongues and feel that the world is very chaotic.

The Clippers later broke out with several major doubts, which made fans think that it was too strange! Various speculations also arose, and then the news broke out.

At the beginning, many people didn't believe this news.

However, their disbelief only lasted for a very short period of time and disappeared.

Because, from any perspective, this is the most in line with the facts.

…………

After the news broke, NBA knew that it could not be hidden!

So, they disclosed the content of Zhong Yu and the Clippers' contract. What Zhong Yu got was a huge contract of 80 million in three years. Of these 80 million, the salary in the first year was 23 million, the salary in the second year was 27 million, and the salary in the third year was a terrifying 30 million!

At the same time, the league publicly stated that this contract seriously violated the Arenas clause. There are some other league regulations. Therefore, the league is now discussing the possibility of this contract and communicating with other teams and the Clippers on this contract.

The league's attitude is not very tough, and they are also worried that the fans will riot, because Zhong Yu now has too many fans... If you keep going like this, it would not be a big deal to not allow Zhong Yu to participate in the preseason.

A final negotiation is imperative!

—————

Before the league started negotiations, Zhong Yu had already met his new teammates.

Although it seems that Zhong Yu's big contract has angered Stern and the league. The princes of the world have advised Zhong Yu and his crimes that provoking the league are unrefundable.

But Zhong Yu still believes that it will only be a matter of time before the alliance agrees to their contract!

So, Zhong Yu also met his new teammate.

The first thing Zhong Yu knew was Negro, the current head coach of the Clippers, as well as some other assistant coaches, and the assistant coach specially assigned to him by the team.

This is a new environment! Zhong Yu has not yet decided where to live in Los Angeles, so he has just lived with Scarlett.

In the 2008-09 season, the Clippers' record still fell into the abyss. They successfully won the No. 1 pick this year Blake Griffin, a monster with extremely strong physical fitness.

And they can't say that they have a star at the moment. If they have to say that they can only be veteran Byron Davis, born in 1979.

Davis is an excellent point guard, but under the pressure of time and injuries, his physical fitness, which could have been called perfect on the point guard, has become scarred. Now he may have lost his ambitions from that time and hopes to fulfill this big contract.

Moreover, Davis is likely to leave because of Zhong Yu's arrival... After all, he also has a salary of more than 10 million yuan...

There are many other fierce people!

Once people mention the Clippers, they always think of the stingy old man Donald Sterling. Then they think of the many stars who were destroyed by the Clippers, and then the team's weak lineup.

But in fact, the Clippers' lineup is really not weak-

Especially after introducing Zhong Yu!

In the position of point guard, Byron Davis is quite good. He is competent for the main point guard. Although he has been a bit passive and slacking off in the past two years, he has the strength. His substitute Sebastian Terfer is also pretty good.

As for the shooting guard, Zhong Yu will be able to completely defeat the scoreback line of any team in the league.

In the small forward position, there are also Ricky Davis and Al Thorton Davis' stupid donkey, although he has done the stupid thing of overshot his own rebound and triple-double, but he is indeed a bit powerful, and Al Thorton is also good.

In the power forward position, they just won the No. 1 pick this year, Blake Griffin, and Bregg Smith, the ferocious beast!

The centers include veterans like Marcus Cambi, fierce men, and defensive players like DeAndre Jordan!

In every position, it can be said that there are many talents...

Of course, in their forward line, except for Zhong Yu's real talent, Davis and Sauton have a little bit of the meaning of forming a data legion, but they do have some strength. If you don't have the strength, you can't even get the data out!

Zhong Yu also knows that this lineup is actually very good...

But it is conceivable that such a team will have many factions and will be very difficult to deal with.

It was completely different from when he was with the Hornets! He had just begun to make his mark with Paul, and he was always guarding him until Paul was injured. Zhong Yu naturally became the leader of the Hornets.

But the Clippers must be a little repulsive to themselves... Zhong Yu also made plans.

Only in this way can you take it step by step, truly leave your own footprints in a team, and become a leader steadily, so that you can be considered your own team.

Zhong Yu is ready!

Negro, the current head coach of the Clippers, brought Zhong Yu to everyone.

Today is the team training camp, and most of the players are here. He clapped his palms and said, "Guys! Stop and see our new partners!"

Several players looked at each other and saw Zhong Yu.

He is 198cm tall, handsome appearance, perfect figure, and a smile on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, Zhong Yu is harmless and it is difficult for anyone to associate him with the player who averaged 62.25 points in the finals.

Byron Davis also looked at Zhong Yu, but his face didn't look very good... It was obvious that after Zhong Yu arrived, the team must belong to him!

Although he can't be said to be the leader of this team, Davis was still a little depressed as he saw Zhong Yu suddenly become a player of this team.

Some other players are still struggling for playing time and have already shown flattering smiles.

Breg Smith, Terfell, Marty Collins, and Al Thorton had already shown a flattering smile... These three people are basically very experienced!

They knew that Sterling's diamond cock was willing to give Zhong Yu such a huge contract, and even fought against the entire league for Zhong Yu, that must have been planned to make Zhong Yu the absolute core of the Clippers. Zhong Yu's future position in the Clippers may not be enough to cover the sky with one hand, but at least he can do it if he follows me and prosper and defeat me. Therefore, Marty Collins knew that he would probably become Zhong Yu's substitute. But he had to please Zhong Yu quickly...

Others, Blake Griffin, DeAndrew Jordan showed a friendly smile at Zhong Yu, and the figure of the man's name was not very conflicted with Zhong Yu. As for Blake Griffin, he originally thought that he would compete with Byron Davis as his No. 1 pick, but since he learned that Zhong Yu came to the Clippers, he knew that the Clippers' leadership position could not tolerate him.

But Griffin could figure it out, not to mention that he was a shy and honest child, and he also knew Zhong Yu's reputation. Therefore, Griffin was more friendly to Zhong Yu, and he hoped to cooperate well with Zhong Yu. Jordan's idea was to hope that Zhong Yu's arrival would bring some new turning points to his position.

The other few people were a little disharmonious, and their smiles contained nothing.

Marcus Camby, Ricky Davis, Byron Davis and other people are a little indifferent, and their attitude towards Zhong Yu is irresistible.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhong Yu. I am from China and will soon become teammates with you." Zhong Yu smiled slightly and said to the players on the scene.

"Hello, hello!" The guys who were smiling flatteringly came over immediately, and Zhong Yu shook hands with them one by one.

Then, Jordan and Griffin came over.

"Hello, Mr. No. 1, I met you at the draft. You are so handsome... and you play a great basketball." Zhong Yu smiled at Griffin.

An honest child like Griffin, when he heard a famous person like Zhong Yu say that the Chinese have the unique ability to flatter others, immediately made the boy happy: "Hello Zhong Yu, I know your deeds, you are very awesome!"

He also said a few nice words to Jordan and Zhong Yu, which made this guy smile when he was said to him.

Afterwards, Davis came over with a few veterans.

"Hello, Byron." Zhong Yu didn't flatter him, but just said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. MVP in the finals, you may face more difficulties when you come to this team." Davis's words were not provocative. Zhong Yu came to the Clippers and indeed gave up an opportunity to establish the dynasty.

"I will overcome all the difficulties!" Zhong Yu smiled confidently. Byron Davis saw that this young man was quite fighting spirit and made up his mind - as long as he didn't provoke me, don't command me, he would be the leader if he likes it!

Next is Marcus Cambi. Cambi has no idea about Zhong Yu, but he is a little proud of his predecessor.

"Hello, Marcus!" Zhong Yu also shook hands with him. Marcus smiled reservedly and stopped talking.

The next one is Ricky Davis, the buckle player Davis, a triple-double man who created the "triple-double door" incident, smiled dryly at Zhong Yu, and it can be seen that this guy is not convinced.

Yes, Zhong Yu is still so young after all!

…………

Zhong Yu roughly figured out the routines of this group of people.

No one in it was particularly dissatisfied with him. Thinking about it, the 62.25-point finals made everyone stunned and qualified to be admired.

However, it is not easy to make those old players who are a little bit powerful and self-reliant in their identities obey him and obey his orders.

Take your time!

There was no in-team competition today, and Zhong Yu was conducting a restorative shooting training.

Just such a shooting training immediately shocked everyone on the scene...

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!".........

"What's going on..."

"Damn it...how did this be cast?"

The people around were stunned! Because, since Zhong Yu started shooting training, he missed a ball at the beginning. Then he actually changed his angles for more than 10 minutes in a row, three-pointers, two-pointers, and mid-range shots from all angles...

Not lost one!

In the end, even several veterans swallowed a few saliva.

Zhong Yu also feels in good condition now! Every ball he has the most perfect feel, and every ball thrown out feels like he is about to enter!

It was not until almost twenty minutes before he missed a ball, and then he stopped and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Baoba!" Terfel immediately began to applaud, and several other players also applauded, Collins and others, including Griffin, also applauded enviously.

The two Davis and Camby had to applaud. In fact, they really envied Zhong Yu's shooting - no wonder they were able to average 62.25 points in the finals!

……………………

"How do you feel on the new team?" Scarlett next to him asked in his ear when Zhong Yu fell asleep at night.
