The 2010-2011 season ended with the Warriors successfully defending their title, and as fans, you just have to wait for the start of next season to keep an eye on this year's NBA draft, or if those teams have another trade. And as a player and a team, this summer is destined to be a day of turbulence and undercurrent.

Because in August 2011, when the last NBA collective bargaining agreement expired, the team and the players' union needed to re-sign the collective bargaining agreement. The members of the players' union are players themselves, and the current president happens to be the "old fish" Fisher, who naturally wants to fight for more benefits for the players and for themselves. As operators, team owners naturally want to save on player wages and operating costs.

This is a conflict of interests between the two sides, and it is difficult to find the right balance, so many media reporters expect that this year's NBA will face another shrinking season, and it is not yet certain when it will start.

For this reason, many players whose contracts expired did not renew their contracts with the team this summer, including Li Du. After Li Du was traded to the Warriors, he signed a three-year, $58 million contract with the Warriors, which expired after the 2010-11 season.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Warriors to give up Li Du, and they originally wanted to renew the contract early, but Pelinka, Li Du's economist, firmly disagreed with the early contract extension, because he knew that a new round of labor negotiations would be held after the end of this season. Pelinka believes that after the new collective bargaining agreement is reached, with Li Du's current popularity and strength, he can win a much larger contract for Li Du than he has now.

Before the start of labor negotiations, the NBA continued to draft every year, and Li Du had absolute trust in Pelinka, so he hardly asked about financial matters, and he also knew that the Warriors could not give up on him, even if it cost a lot, they would keep him. So Li Du and Nelson Sr. put all their energy into the draft, and they have to get Klay Thompson if this Klay is really as good as Curry said.

On this day, Nelson Sr. excitedly called Li Du and said that he had made an appointment with Klay Thompson, and he would come to the training gym this afternoon to meet with Nelson Sr. and Li Du, and also conduct player testing. Prior to this, Li Du and Nelson Sr. had watched a video of Klay Thompson playing in college, and Li Du was very happy with him.

Curry wasn't wrong that Klay Thompson's long-range shooting ability was no weaker than his, but the two men had completely different styles. Curry's three-point shot is very similar to Li Du's, quite unreasonable, dribbling to find opportunities, once the shooting space is staggered, it is the beginning of crazy three-pointers.

Klay Thompson, on the other hand, is a very standard catch-and-shoot shot, and his shooting moves are extremely standard, with every ball like a textbook.

If Curry is taking his shooting action to the extreme, then Klay Thompson is taking his standard shooting to the extreme, and it is really difficult to say who is better between them.

However, Li Du has a preference for Klay Thompson, and in this child, Li Du sees himself when he first entered the league. On the offensive end, they are all running to catch the ball, and on the defensive end, they are defensive sharpshooters. That's right, Klay Thompson has better physical strength and height than Curry, and has been the main offensive point for defending opponents on the defensive end.

Back then, after Li Du was recommended by Kobe Bryant to enter the league, he also started from defense at the beginning of the Lakers, and such players have always been popular with all team leaders.

When Li Du came to the training gym, Klay Thompson and Nelson Sr. had been talking for a long time, and after the two sides introduced each other, Li Du sat down, and then Old Nelson said to Li Du: "Li, Clay is a very good kid, and he is also very willing to join us." ”

Li Du nodded, looked at Clay carefully, although his face still looked a little immature, but his hairstyle and facial features suddenly reminded Li Du of the Buddha statue in the temple, and couldn't help asking: "Clay, do you have Aryan blood in your family?" ”

Li Du's question made Clay stunned for a moment, and he shook his head, "Mr. Li, I don't have Aryan blood in my family. ”

"It's also ......" Li Du smiled self-deprecatingly, and then asked formally: "Klay, I heard the coach say that you are willing to join the Warriors, I believe you also know that the Warriors are a team that uses three-point shooting as a deterrent weapon, I want to really see your three-point shooting ability, can you?" ”

"Okay!" When it comes to shooting, Klay is confident. He knew that the Li Du in front of him was probably the strongest pitcher in basketball history, and it was also a kind of luck to be able to show his shooting ability in front of him.

Clay rarely speaks in conversation and seems a bit introverted, but as soon as he gets on the court, he immediately becomes calm and mature. After taking a deep breath and relaxing his body, Clay shot a total of 25 shots and scored 15 of the five three-pointers that Li Du posed, which made Li Du's eyes light up.

However, Li Du's test of him is not over, next, Li Du wants the ball Clay to try his best to shake himself off during the run, and then catch the ball and shoot, of course, Li Du will interfere with him when he shoots. Li Du has seen many so-called pure shooters over the years, and his shooting may be more accurate than Li Du in training, but once it is interfered with, the hit rate plummets!

Since it is a test, of course, Li Du will not defend Clay with all his strength, and when Clay shoots, he will not really block, but can make a certain amount of interference. The result made Li Du very happy, running to catch the ball 10 times, and in the case of Li Du's interference, Clay still hit 5 three-pointers, which is equivalent to a nearly 50% shooting rate in actual combat!

The test is here, it is enough, Li Du happily patted Clay on the shoulder, "Stephen told me that your shooting ability is not weaker than his, at first I was a little unbelievable, but now I believe it!" ”

After speaking, Li Du stretched out his right hand to Klay, "Klay Thompson, on behalf of the Warriors, I officially invite you to join, and I hope to fight side by side with you!" ”

"Thank you!" Clay said very little, and he also stretched out his right hand and solemnly shook it with Li Du.

Then it's up to Nelson Sr. and Warriors management to negotiate and sign a series of agreements with Klay and his agent in order to secure Klay.

Li Du and Clay don't care about these things, they just need to be responsible for playing the game well. When all the things on Old Nelson's side were all taken care of, Li Du said happily to Clay: "It's finally waiting for you, Clay!" With your joining, we will be invincible in the world! ”
