: One thousand seven hundred sixty-six. Winning the third point guard

On the morning of the 17th, U.S. time, Sun Ce and his team took an overnight flight and returned to Memphis from Chengdu after a long journey.
After a day of rest, Sun Ce got rid of the jet lag on the morning of the 18th.
After sending Zu Ge to school, Sun Ce came to FedEx Arena.
Surprisingly, the coaches have already started working.
Sun Ce came to the training ground and saw the offensive assistant David Fitzdale curiously asked: "David, don't you need to go back?"
"I should ask you what I said, God, what is the structure of your body, and it is more spiritual than the person who is used to staying up late," David Fitzdale exclaimed, and continued: "I usually do one day I only sleep for 5 hours and am used to it."
"Am I? Just a good night's sleep."
"..."
Let’s talk a little bit. Sun Ce went to his own training. It’s not easy to be a coach, especially the coach of the best basketball league in the NBA. Of course, the salary as a teaching assistant is also high. The weekly salary is at least 20,000 US dollars. David -Fitzdale, such an excellent offensive assistant, has a weekly salary of $40,000. Even in the United States, few industry employees have such high salaries.
Under the guidance of Tim Hardaway, who was yawning from time to time, he practiced a three-point and cross-step breakthrough in the morning. The focus of the breakthrough was the acceleration after lateral movement, the force of lateral movement, and the action to accelerate the breakthrough. It's hard, it's even harder to do in the game.
In NBA history, the strongest move should be Tim Hardaway and Allen Iverson.
After lunch at noon, Sun Ce was called by coach Hollins.
"Noah, we have three types of point guards, Beverly who has a good defense and a talent for shooting; Pago, who has a strong scoring ability and can pass the ball but has an unstable personality; 'S third point guard, we intend to let Jimmy and Paul hold the ball when you and Steve need to rest or need to play. We have discussed for a long time and want to ask your opinion..."
Coach Hollins began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the three candidate third point guards.
Sun Ce analyzed the words of coach Hollins.
Beverly, it is indeed suitable for the Grizzlies. They have three-point potential and defensive potential. Now when the strength is not enough, they play hard.
But it's still a little bit worse now, and it's a problem with the 1 million euro buyout fee of the Russian Super League.
The NBA's stipulated cash usage limit for this season is $2.75 million. When the Larry Sanders traded before, the Grizzlies compensated the Bobcats for $2 million because the Bobcats ate Reidno's 4 million salary. cash.
Now, as long as the amount is 750,000, even if the Grizzlies are willing to pay the buyout fee, Beverly has to be responsible for the remaining $300,000 dollars in buyout fees, and the Grizzlies spend 750,000 dollars. Buying out is not that simple.
Beverly's current strength, not to mention the buyout fee of 750,000, Beverly can't hit the performance of 750,000 US dollars now.
Sun Ce did not say that he would ask Beverly because he would get better and better in the future. What better could there be Mr. Tony who is now at the peak? Can there be Paul George, who is about to enter the peak on the defensive end? Can the talented Clay Thompson be good?
The signing of the third point guard is only for backup, so what the team needs and can pay the minimum price to ensure operational flexibility is the best.
Jeremy Pago and Willie Green, both scoring players, are both C+-level players. I haven't found a job for the time being. It is more suitable for the Grizzlies.
However, the C+ level strength of the two players needs to be tested in the preseason when they played okay last season. There is definitely a reason. The former clashed in the locker room with the Bobcats and Kemba Walker last season and was finally Cut it, the standard thorn.
Willie Green is more accurately described as an early combo guard. The shooting guard is too short, the point guard is not too good, the age is old, and it is too independent. The core players play, the strength of the bench players, obviously in During the team meeting, he was a tactical master, but he didn't play the game but he held the ball. China
After the training camp and the first three games, Sun Ce learned that the three who stayed on the coaches’ shortlist were the three, of course, the other people did not directly drive away. Since they all invited others to come, they should naturally let them in The preseason shows the ability to show to other teams, and it is not bad when sparring, the team match can also be used.
Jeremy Pago and Willie Green, Sun Ce have played with them in the past three preseason games, and have seen their ability evaluation, they are really inferior to Jimmy brother or Paul George, at least The two have a visible future, and because of the team atmosphere, they are happy to pass.
After a comprehensive analysis, Sun Ce said: "It would be nice if I could sign Beverly, but it is a pity that he bought out..."
"This is a problem. His defensive talent is indeed excellent. After playing in Europe for three years, his defensive and fixed-point three-point shots have improved more than I expected. But he can consider giving a long-term contract and taking a break at Tony or Steve. He can be put on the court when he is on, and he's working hard."
Give a long appointment? Sun Ce asked: "Coach, do you know Beverly?"
"He came to our team for trial training in 2009, and his attitude of playing hard left a deep impression on us, so we invited him to participate in the trial training, but we did not choose him at that time, he was too bad at that time. After the Lakers chose him, they also regarded him as a trading addition, and finally gave up. We can try it out and talk to him about buying out fees..."

As time goes by, individual training, team training, intra-team competitions, pre-season games...
Find problems, find ways to solve them, and change ideas if there is no way to solve them. If you don’t, you don’t care. Strengthen your strengths and avoid weaknesses.
On the 20th, they lost to the Hawks at home. On the 22nd, they lost to the Magic at home. On the 24th, they won the Magic on the road. On the 26th, they won the Hornets on the road.
Time passed quickly, and on the 27th, Sun Ce returned to Memphis with the team.
The regular season is about to start. Sun Ce felt very excited when he got home, and then... he played the passionate 97 fighting game with Zu Ge in the afternoon.
Sun Cetao's cabinet-style arcade game machine has been scoring for a long time before he put "Fighting 97", "The War of the Three Kingdoms" back to the storm, "Journey to the West", "Arrogant Sword"... these childhood obsessive games The machine was put together and placed in a room.
Sun Ce from time to time brushes the news.
After returning to Memphis, the first thing the team did was to lay off the five training camp contract players, and it was about to go to the last preseason game. It was necessary to decide whether to sign the third point guard in the end, otherwise all The training camp contract was cut, and the final preseason game was to be played in the regular season.
Jeremy Pago, who averaged 8.5 points and 2 assists in the first six preseason games, received a 76-year base salary of $1.12 million after the Grizzlies played two preseason games with the Magic. The contract, the Grizzlies did not match, after cutting five training camp contract players, now the Grizzlies only Beverly and Willie Green two training camp contract players.
Moreover, Willie Green also received quotations from other teams. The Clippers gave the veteran a 1+1 base salary quotation totaling $2.88 million over two years. The Grizzlies have the right to match.
Sun Ce is waiting for the news. The third point guard is good for anyone. The scoring combo guard Willie Green is good~EbookFREE.me~Beverly is also OK. What the Grizzlies want is now, not Looking forward to the future of Beverly, now, immediately, and immediately have to launch a shock towards the next championship.
Of course, Beverly's fierceness is very much in line with their Grizzlies style, and it's okay to play in a scary style.
But Willie Green, who can serve as a teaching assistant, is naturally excellent.
At 5 pm, Sun Ce received an email from Chris Wallace.
Beverly and the Russian Super League reached an agreement to buy out the fee in installments. The Grizzlies paid 500,000 US dollars. Beverly himself will be responsible for the remaining 590,000 US dollars in the next 5 years.
At the same time, Beverly and the Grizzlies have reached a 1+1+1 contract for the next two years of the team option. The starting salary is the lowest 530,000 US dollars in the 2012-2013 season, and the total contract of 1.89 million US dollars. That is, only the first year is fully covered, and the next two years are not covered!
"This contract is also signed? Is this your own buyout fee!"
Sun Ce felt that he too underestimated Beverly's determination to play in the NBA!
