Chapter 672: The most expensive player in the league!

Mike Conley is not a superstar in today's league. He is also difficult to rank in the position of point guard. He is also the strongest defender except for the strongest guys. Conley can get The first highest salary contract in history also proves that for a quasi-superstar player, if he can be in the right position, he can also get a large maximum salary contract.
Conley naturally has the ability, but this big contract will still make many fans sigh, know that his career is much better than Conley’s Dwyane Wade’s cumulative salary so far is only 156 million US dollars, and Conley’s five, It took 153 million a year. No wonder even O'Neill said he was born in the wrong age.
In addition to Mike Conley, the wealthy handsome Parsons also left the Mavericks and came to the Memphis Grizzlies. They signed a four-year 95 million contract with the Grizzlies that was slightly lower than Conley's top salary contract. These two signs were also shocked. Many people, together with Mark Gasol and Randolph, have high expectations for the Grizzlies, but the Grizzlies have always been regulars in the playoffs and are a successful model for small market teams. They Originally not a weak team, these actions did not bring substantial changes to the team, plus the Grizzlies are also in the west with the big crocodiles, I am afraid it is difficult to reach the finals in the playoffs this season Stage.
Originally, Xie Chen led the Lakers to a six-game winning streak, and the momentum was amazing. Even the Grizzlies were a little scared. However, after the Warriors won the Lakers, everyone saw that the Lakers were also vulnerable to the super team. The Grizzlies did not. How worried about this opponent, and there are even fans on the Grizzlies scene holding up the sign of "end of winning streak, start of losing streak" to ridicule the Lakers last season.
Xie Chen played less with Grizzlies in these two seasons, and had no grievances, and nothing memorable happened in his memory. When he came here, he was not as depressed as the Warriors at home. His emotions were very calm. The game From the beginning, he quickly launched an offensive. Mike Conley felt Xie Chen's strong desire to attack. He also entered the best state when he came up.
Xie Chen scored successively with McGrady's three-pointer and Jordan's backward jumper, and Conley also came forward to respond to Xie Chen. He is a left-handed player. It is always a troublesome thing to prevent left-handed players, especially when Conley When playing behind the dribble, he didn't change direction fast, but the rhythm was very good. At first, Conley also responded to Xie Chen's several balls, but regarding the scoring ability, he was by no means Xie Chen's opponent, Xie Chen You can keep scoring this way all the time, but after scoring a few goals, Conley has to find his teammates to help.
The cooperation between Gasol and Randolph still made the Lakers a headache. Fortunately, the free throws of the two are today. In the case of Xie Chenyu's demand, Xie Chen cut 20 in the first quarter. Points, leading the Lakers to lead the score, and Conley scored only 8 points, not many assists.
After the first quarter, Conley looked serious on the players' seat and was not very comfortable. He thought that Xie Chen was playing like this, and he clearly felt that he was not worthy of the maximum salary contract, but in fact, how much Conley took, Xie Chen Not envious at all.
Tee than Stephenson also fanned the flames and said: "Mike, Xie just saw that you took a big contract and did not look good. So you deliberately adjusted you, he didn't score 20 points in the Warriors single quarter!"
Conley was already unhappy. After signing the big contract, he was under a lot of pressure. He was teased more than his teammates, and he was more upset. According to the data in the first quarter, Xie Chen should not take Conley more than twice the whole game. 'S score? At that time, some netizens will say that compared with Conley, Xie Chen should take a five-year 300 million contract!
In fact, Conley doesn't need to put too much pressure on himself, and the Grizzlies don't expect him to be as omnipotent as Xie Chen or get a lot of points, as long as he can maintain his current level healthy.
However, under the stimulation of Xie Chen's strong performance, Conley's mentality was still affected. The so-called tempo was not reached. Conley wanted to reach the superstar level and become an All-Star, but the hardware strength was not achieved, but the effect was counterproductive. A three-point shot was made by Xie Chen's big hat, and then Xie Chen played a one-arm snap at the Grizzlies at home.
Xie Chen scored more than 30 points in the second quarter and started the Legendary Challenge. This time, he met the Grizzlies of the Gasol era, which was also easy to solve. After that, he continued to abuse Kang Li. Grizzly.
The fans on the scene were soon beaten with no fighting spirit, and they were not excited at all.
"Xie this guy is so crazy, from the beginning of the game, he intends to rely on him alone to win us?"
"This will be a 60+ performance again, is it because of Mike Conley's big contract? Mike still stood up and responded to a few goals. What is Chandler Parsons doing? Facing the opponent so crazy Provocative, he didn't respond at all!"
Parsons played very badly, not worthy of his big contract at all, not just this one, but the first few games were also very general, but it was not easy for the Lakers to win this Grizzlies until the end of the game Xie Chen scored 61 points before he was able to rest. They finally got the victory and got the victory.
Mike Conley watched the garbage time was coming, and he was so exhausted that he couldn't help but asked Xie Chen: "Do you use the 60+ performance tonight, is it to tell me that I am not qualified to take that big contract? ?"
Xie Chen only noticed Mike Conley's resentment against himself in the eyes. He had many friends and many enemies in NBA. Xie Chen did not want to be misunderstood. Xie Chen said: "I just want to win, if this game After that, others will make fun of you, and I have no way."
The Lakers will win another game, continue to sit firmly in the throne of the West, and equal the Warriors!
After learning about the Golden State Warriors, they all felt very disappointed.
Draymond Green said with frustration: "Damn it! Memphis Grizzlies failed to beat the Lakers? Why did they spend so much money signing Mike Conley and Chandler Parsons? The Lakers are such a bad team. Can't even win? I can't stand sharing the first with the Lakers. From the beginning of the new season, it has been half a month now. They are still entangled with us and tied us up!"
Durant also wanted to see the Lakers record fall earlier and said: "Yeah, their opponent is the New Orleans Pelicans in the next game. Thanks to this hot state recently, it is estimated that the Pelicans are alone. It is also difficult to withstand. To get rid of them and become the only number one, I am afraid that we have to wait a few days. We have to pin our hopes on the San Antonio Spurs."
After the Lakers finished playing the Pelicans, the next opponent was the Spurs. As soon as the Spurs were mentioned, the Warriors sighed in unison. They did not doubt that the Spurs could defeat the Lakers. The key is that the Spurs also defeated them. Teams that the Warriors have lost are not so shameful.
After playing for half a month in the new season, the Lakers are still the first in the West, which makes rookie coach Luke Wharton have a face, invited the whole team to a big meal in Memphis, all the players went with a happy mood To the next city, New Orleans.
The Pelicans have superstars. Anthony Davis was optimistic about being the best player in the future as early as last year. He also has 25+10 for two consecutive seasons. In addition, he has 2 caps per game, but only in the playoffs. There is no breakthrough.
The Pelicans are not a strong team. This time, Xie Chen didn’t need to score so many points alone. Ingram finally regained confidence. In this scene, he scored 30+ again. Xie Chen didn’t want to waste energy. With the time to deal with the legendary team, only 25 points, the team easily regained a victory, because the Warriors still did not lose in these two games, so the Warriors and Lakers are still tied for first place.
However, many people predict that the situation where the two teams are tied for the first place will soon change. The fans predict that the first to lose is not the Warriors, but the weaker Lakers because the Lakers will play San Antonio in the next game. balance!
Warriors fans posted on the Internet before the game: "Finally don't need to be tied with the Lakers as a rotten team. Hahaha, congratulations to the Lakers for their second defeat in the season!"
The Spurs' record in the West is second only to the Warriors and Lakers. It is the second in the West. Not only that, the reason why the Warriors fans are so optimistic is that the Spurs are not only strong, but also a team that even the Warriors have defeated. The Warriors have won. After the Lakers, according to this logic, the Spurs should not have any doubts when playing the Lakers.
Luke Wharton is also worried about whether his second defeat is coming, and said to the players the day before the game: "If we want to go further in the playoffs, then the Warriors and Spurs teams , We must encounter one of them, we have already seen the result of the duel with the Warriors, then let us see what we will do if we meet another ace team!"
San Antonio, Texas, att center arena.
Coming here again seems to be no different than before, but one important person is missing. The Spurs opponent always feels the same. The Spurs have won a total of five championships, and these five championships are all Duncan belts. Take it, but now, this guy says he will retire.
Duncan's retirement was too quiet. He played 19 seasons in the NBA. He just said so and left. It seems that everyone is not ready to accept his retirement, and he hasn't figured out how to go with him. Farewell, this is completely different from the way Kobe retired. Someone once asked him, are you afraid that others will not understand you? Duncan replied, Why should I let others know about me? This is probably Duncan's style, but no matter what, the historical position of the best power forward in history can't be shaken.
Although Duncan retired, he also arrived at the scene with his wife today. Xie Chen stepped forward to greet Duncan and attracted many cameras to follow.
Xie Chen smiled and said to Duncan: "You haven't played the finals with me, how do you retire?"
Duncan smiled softly: "I said that the future belongs to you. I lied to LeBron, but I didn't plan to cheat you again."
"Hahaha." Xie Chen and Duncan's wife both laughed, "It's really strange to play against the Spurs without you, but I won't be polite tonight."
Duncan also replied: "You don't have to be polite to them, man, score as much as you like, as long as you lose to us, I think Vicky will let you get 60 points."
It can be seen that after Duncan retired, his mentality did not differ from that of when he was a player. The matter of retiring seemed too natural to him. Kobe was still uncomfortable after retiring. Seeing Xie Chen’s crazy The performance will also stimulate Kobe, but the stone Buddha is the stone Buddha, and all of them are indifferent. Retirement is not a great thing for him.
However, looking at him playing with old friends like bald Ginobili, Parker, and Vicky, Xie Chen felt that he was still a Spur and had not left...
After the Spurs left Duncan, the gdp combination ceased to exist and will only remain in the fans' memory. However, the two veterans of Ginobili and Parker also decided to continue the battle and did not choose to retire because of Duncan's departure.
In addition, the Spurs also received new aid Paul Gasol and David Lee, Gasol came after Durant announced to join the Warriors, because the Spurs were also interested in chasing Durant, although the Blazers gave Gasol A two-year, $40 million contract was reported, but Gasol has always favored the Spurs, so he chose the Spurs. Netizens also gave the Spurs a group of old names: "Five Deaths."
It seems that the strength of the Death Five is not lost to the Death Five, otherwise the Spurs will not laugh to the end in the last duel with the Warriors.
Similarly, another new insider David Lee ~ EbookFREE.me ~ also gave up a bigger contract to the Spurs, and the Spurs contract for only two years 3.2 million US dollars.
After Duncan retired, David West switched to the Warriors, Dior was traded to the Jazz, and after Boban joined the Pistons, David Lee will form a new inside rotation with Paul Gasol and Aldridge.
You know, these three guys were all All-Star inside players, plus Leonard, who has always been considered to be in the top five in the league, and the most capable coach in the league, Vicky, even if Not surprisingly, the Spurs reached the Finals this year.
In the game between the Spurs and the Lakers, the Warriors' players are also paying attention. They can't wait to see the Lakers lose another game, and don't squeeze together with them in the first place in the West.
At the beginning of the game, the Spurs' mature offensive system and defensive system showed an advantage in front of the Lakers, and Leonard has specifically marked Xie Chen from the beginning. This guy is the best defensive player in the league. During the festival, the Lakers were beaten by double digits, and Lakers coach Luke Wharton was forced to call a timeout.
Seeing this time, the Warriors' Draymond Green finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, when the Lakers lose, they can finally occupy the first place in the West! After this time, they do not want to climb up again!" (To be continued) .)
