1651. Offseason Boost (5000 Words Ask for a Subscription and Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

Grizzlies guard line: Livingston 3 million, Sun Ce 23.316 million, Klay Thompson 3.61 million, Tony Allen 5 million, Carter 3.15 million.

Forwards: Paul George 15.93 million, Pierce 2.9 million, Richard Jefferson 1.44 million, Randolph 15 million, Aldridge 16.72 million, Yi Jianlian 8 million, Stoudemire 1.44 million, Larry Sanders 9 million, Gobert 1.16 million.

If the 15th player is signed, the Grizzlies' total salary will definitely exceed $110 million.

More than 10 million US dollars higher than the second-place Lakers' 99.72 million US dollars!

The Grizzlies broke the third-highest salary in NBA history of $105.61 million held by the Trail Blazers in the 02-03 season! But compared with the Knicks' 126 million and 117 million all-time first and second total salaries, the Grizzlies still have a gap.

The media, experts, and fans were dazzled by the Grizzlies' operation, and Sun Ce took the league's highest salary of 23.316 million US dollars, and pressed Joe Johnson, who was 23.18 million US dollars.

The Grizzlies are the league's No. 1 in team salaries......

Everyone found that they underestimated the Grizzlies' boldness, thought they were going to choose between Yi Jianlian and Larry Sanders, and thought that if Paul George was re-signed, Tony Allen might leave, reducing salary pressure.

However, the Grizzlies are all here to stay!

Although he lost 6 players and traded 5 away, Prince didn't want to continue playing and returned to the Pistons to prepare for retirement, but he brought in Pierce, Carter, Aldridge, and now the 14-man squad is strong! Look at the roster, not losing to the Lakers' luxurious lineup of Kobe, James, Leonard, JR Smith, Nene and Boozer, Mike Miller, Nick Young, Wesley Johnson, Wayne Ellington, Sean Marion, Donatas Motaiyunas, Ed Davis.

And the salary difference between the two teams, it seems that only Paul George has taken almost 16 million a year, while Leonard's salary is only 3.13 million US dollars.

The Grizzlies have Sun Ce, Randolph, Aldridge, and Paul George with a salary of at least 15 million US dollars, Kobe Bryant on the Lakers' side with 21 million US dollars, and James with 20.56 million US dollars.

The salary structure of the two teams is not quite the same.

According to the analysis of experts, the structure of the Grizzlies should be more reasonable, and the focus is that most of the contracts signed by the Grizzlies this summer are 2+1 or 1+1, which can make room again in the summer of 2016, so as to avoid paying the super luxury tax on the super luxury tax threshold for three consecutive years.

Unlike the Lakers, who come to a 3-4 year contract, the Grizzlies are more cautious and offer contracts that expire in the summer of '16 or '17.

According to the incremental terms of the 2013-2014 season under the new broadcast agreement signed, the Grizzlies, who exceeded the luxury tax threshold of more than 25 million, will have to pay almost $37 million in luxury tax next season, and the forecast for next season is more than 46 million.

If this roster is still guaranteed in the 16-17 season, if the salary cap is not skyrocketing, along with the Grizzlies player salary increase, the Grizzlies will pay more than 79 million luxury tax, breaking the historical record of 61 million luxury tax held by the Knicks in the 05-06 season.

But most of the contracts offered by the Grizzlies expire in 16 or 17 years, plus the 2016-2017 season is expected to increase by 25 million salary cap from the 2015-2016 season.

When some experts analyzed the Grizzlies' contract problems, fans found that the Grizzlies' salary situation was not as problematic as they thought.

And the Lakers have a lot of six or seven million contracts, most of which expire in 16 or 17 years.

The two teams that seem to spend a lot of money have not fallen into the same cycle as the Trail Blazers and Knicks a decade ago.

……

On July 20, the Grizzlies reached a one-year, $1.44 million standard base salary exception with veteran point guard Steve Blake, who played with the Lakers last season.

Blake and Hinrich, these are the two free agent veterans that Sun Ce hopes to win after discussing with the team, they don't need to do anything else, just be steady.

Of all the free agent point guards in the league, only Calderon can compare with these two, but Calderon has joined the Knicks for 32 million in 4 years.

After a summer, the Knicks used all kinds of rules, and the salary reached more than 84 million, and most of them were long-term contracts.

Sun Ce got up in the morning, got the news of Blake's joining, opened the NBA official website, and looked at the updated salary status of his own team, 111.12 million US dollars...... It is estimated that the tax will be 37.5 million US dollars, which means that the team will spend almost 150 million this season.

The team undoubtedly wants to take advantage of his long-term contract to take advantage of the huge increase in the salary cap in 2016 to avoid paying the super luxury tax.

It's definitely impossible to say that he is not moved, Sun Ce knows that all the team's reinforcements this year are around him, the kind that spares no expense.

This is a bit like in 2016, when the Grizzlies gave Conley the highest salary in NBA history at that time for 5 years and 150 million.

Originally, Sun Ce thought that the team would not keep Larry Sanders, at least nearly 20 million could be saved, but the team still stayed to prevent the team from having an inside injury crisis like last season.

Sun Ce didn't pretentiously call Robert Pera to say something, and in the next few years, he just played hard as always, and there was not so much to be pretentious.

The team spent so much money, not to listen to his hypocrisy, but to hope that he could achieve good results.

There are also trades and free agent signings of various teams in the league, Sun Ce lamented that this summer is worthy of being the summer with the most free agents since 1997, and too many players have changed teams.

The Knicks are crazy about people, the Lakers have a lot of players coming in, the Spurs have got Rondo, and the Mavericks have signed Barria back......

The 76ers successfully renewed the contract of Pau Gasol, and the key is that their rookie Noel, who was reimbursed for a year, performed well in the summer league, feeling better than rookies Julius Randle and Noah Vonleh, and his strength has steadily improved.

There are teams to strengthen, naturally there are teams that have declined, those teams in the bottom ranks are not easy to say, maybe they have fewer players and play better, but strong teams also have a decline.

The Bulls lost Rohr Deng, and the Heat used the salary space vacated by Wade's salary cut and Chandler's departure to get Roel Deng back.

The Pacers directly changed half of the main rotation.

But the Bulls signed a shooting power forward Mirotic in three years, which they got from the Rockets trade that year.

There is also the Nets who can't move, Garnett signed a 12 million one-year contract with the Timberwolves just after the free market opened this summer, and the Nets are estimated to collapse.

This alliance, which had long since become unfamiliar but perhaps became even crazier than originally because of the appearance of Sun Someone, made Sun Ce feel extremely excited!

He didn't notice that he already had the mentality of a strong man, so he was able to accept the defeat very open-mindedly after being eliminated in the second round last season, and was able to prepare for this offseason with extreme unwillingness, improve himself step by step, and wait for the team to bring in reinforcements.

Although the team's recruitment and contract renewal this year are a little too exaggerated......

……

……

The media, the fans, the players are crazy about how many contracts have been given this summer, and the owners of the teams are crazy.

It's just robbing!

None of them knew what it would be like in 2016, when the Bulls were just a beat slow to be snatched away by the Knicks for Ariza.

Back 10 years ago, there was often an All-Star who didn't finalize his contract until September.

Not to mention 10 years ago, 5 years ago, Randolph was given a contract that matched his value before the start of training camp, and at that time, all teams were very cautious when giving contracts because of the experience between the Trail Blazers and the Knicks, and the experience of indiscriminately giving contracts in the 90s.

But now, less than three weeks into the offseason, 90 percent of the players have basically been finalized.

Also, many stars are about to get their salary caps up in two years, and those who change teams can sign four-year contracts for four years, and most of the contract renewals are signed for five-year contracts, so it seems that the Grizzlies and Lakers are more special.

The reason is that the management of each team has speculated, the players are eating youth, and God knows what will happen next if they play well in the past two years? No, the Thunder refused to exercise Perkins' team option, and Perkins could only join the Lakers on a one-year contract of $1.44 million.

Perkins, who turned 30 in November, is theoretically in his prime for a defensive center who isn't known for his athleticism.

But his state suddenly collapsed.

The players also have to think about the future, what if they find themselves in the same situation?

So it must be a big contract to get it first! Like Wall, who renewed his contract for 92 million for 5 years, he did not hesitate at all after the Wizards gave him the maximum salary.

The same goes for Curry and Harden, who signed extensions last year, who didn't know that the salary cap was going to rise in 2016? It's certainly impossible, but they are all signed with the longest five-year contract, which only expires in 2018.

As there are fewer and fewer high-quality players in the free agent market, this year's free agency market has gradually cooled down, and the discussion among fans has changed from the ownership of players to discussing whether each team lost or earned after signing or trading this year, and discussing the changes in the strength of each team.

At the same time, due to the end of the football World Cup on July 12, some fans began to discuss the basketball World Cup at the end of August.

According to media reports, FIBA is ready to adjust the time of the Basketball World Cup, but not this time, but the next one, and will discuss with China to adjust the second Basketball World Cup in 2018 to 2019.

It's all called the World Cup, and if it's the same year as the Football World Cup, no one really cares about the Basketball World Cup.

FIBA wants to get rid of the shackles imposed on them by the Olympic Games, and the major basketball powers are more interested in Olympic basketball, and the attention paid to the World Championships and now the Basketball World Cup is much lower than that of Olympic basketball.

The key is that the Olympics don't make money every time, and the organizers lose money every time, except for 08 years, every other Olympic Games organizer is arguing with the IOC to want less dividends, and the IOC gives the International Basketball Team very little money, even less than the neglected World Championships, which makes FIBA actually not so concerned about the Olympics, just like playing football doesn't care about Olympic football at all.

On Sun Ce's side, after the team got the reinforcements, he reinvested in training, and on the 21st, he began intensive training in shooting.

On July 26th, the three-point evaluation was finally improved!

"Congratulations to the host for raising the three-point evaluation on the left sideline to A+, and the overall three-point evaluation for A+."

"Congratulations to the host for raising their overall shooting rating to an S- rating."

"Competency assessment S-,

Physical Fitness A+: Speed S-, Strength A+, Core Strength S-Level, Endurance A+, Bounce B, Static Confrontation A+, Leg Explosiveness A+ (Burst Acceleration, Bounce Speed), Burst Confrontation Ability A+......

Shooting evaluation S-: three-point A+, mid-range S- (three-second mid-side mid-shot S-, A+ in the rest of the position), layup S-......

Technical evaluation A+: S-, Pass A, Jump Shot A, Dribble Shot A, Pull-up Jump Shot A-, Low Back Skill A+, High Back Skill S-, Triple Threat Standing C, Jump Step B+, Back Dribble A, Turn Skill A, Cross Step Change A......"

Previously, under his own hard practice and Jordan's guidance, Sun Ce's mid-shot on the right side of the three-second zone has passed more than a month of training and has become the first mid-range shooting point to break through to the S-level, and then successfully improved the overall shooting evaluation to the S-level.

In addition, the technical aspect has also been greatly improved.

After Sun Ce practiced with Jordan and Payton in the morning, they would not necessarily come in the afternoon, and occasionally they would come to guide him.

The overall technical evaluation has reached the A+ level, as for the biggest improvement, it is the back play, Jordan's back play ability is undoubted, Sun Ce is abused by Jordan's back every day, Jordan also feels unreasonable, occasionally runs to teach him how to play back in the afternoon, plus the experience of being beaten back, Payton's back play is also more powerful than most people remember.

The focus is on Sun Ce's efforts to learn the part of the two's back hitting skills that suits him, and as time passes, Sun Ce's high back play breaks through to the S-level, and the low back play also reaches the A+ level.

What surprised Sun Ce the most was that as he approached his theoretical physiological peak, his endurance evaluation naturally improved to the A+ level.

The improvement in shooting made Sun Ce ecstatic, but there were also regrets.

The three techniques of back dribbling, turning skills, and cross-step change of direction have not made much progress after reaching the A level.

Sun Ce and Hardaway Sr., Payton, Jordan, and Nash have all discussed this aspect, and they have also asked Curry, and they have similar opinions as his Sun someone.

Based on his flexibility and excellent ball sense, he can practice a top-notch cross-step change, but due to his size, he is estimated to be top-notch in the sky.

And he can have a first-class level of cross-step change of direction ability, which has already surprised these people, his body size should not have such a cross-step change of direction ability at all.

Sun Ce can't help it, it seems that the "butterfly step through flowers" can't be used as a regular skill like Nowitzki's sideways step-up jumper, Kobe Bryant and Jordan's back, and ball-handling blocking experts.

Just like Randolph's technique of directly rushing to grab a second rebound after a back-to-back single, Sun Ce has practiced hard, but he is really not suitable, and can only occasionally rely on a large change of direction to shake off the opponent and trigger it.

Nowitzki's golden rooster shoots independently, Sun Ce really doesn't know how to use it, and the opposite side is unlikely to use a real inside line to defend him, and he has a full chance to jump on the outside, just shoot.

For this, Sun Ce thinks it's not bad, focus on the best technique that suits him, and occasionally shake off the opponent and trigger it in a single shot.

And now there's one more thing to rejoice in!

"Because the three-point evaluation of the hook hand in the bottom corner of the left side of the host has been upgraded to A+ level, the bottom line on both sides, the bottom corner on both sides, and the free throw line area have reached the A+ level hook shooting ability evaluation, congratulations to the host, the proficiency of Xiaotiangou has been increased to level 5, and the skill card: Xiaotiangou has been activated."

"Xiaotian Hook Level 1: When the host shoots at the free throw line and at a zero degree angle on both sides, if the host is in an open shooting state, the shooting evaluation will be increased by a small level.

Note: Level 2 Bonus Effect: Hook in the confrontation.

You can use a skill upgrade card or a random skill upgrade card to upgrade it. ”

This skill is not bad, the effect of level 1 is not too obvious, the trigger probability is not high, and there will definitely be no opponent to put him in the empty hook...... It is possible in the bottom corner of the left side, but after a long time, it is estimated that it is not very likely.

But at least it can give him a greater chance of grasping the vacant pitch opportunity and reducing the probability of wasting a good opportunity, focusing on the bonus of the hook hand in the upgraded confrontation, which is the most important thing, just like the sky hook skill that used the sky hook card back then.

After being excited, Sun Ce tried to calm down his emotions, finished the last two days of practice, and consolidated the left bottom corner to the 30-degree angle and the right mid-shot in the three-second area.

At the same time, work hard to practice shooting at a 45-degree angle to a 30-degree angle on both sides that are not so good.

Day after day, year after year, on July 27, Sun Ce's summer of hard training finally came to an end.

……

……

On July 30, on the plane from Los Angeles to Singapore, Zu Ge chattered with Sun Ce about the finger cake shop outside her neighborhood.

Sun Ce doesn't know how many times he's heard her say it, every year when he returns to Beijing and goes to Beijing, he will go to Tianjin by the way, and he will also go to eat.

However, Sun Ce also said every time that he found a beef noodle restaurant when he first went back to his home in this life, and he would eat it every time he returned to Chengdu.

Sun Ce is about to start a total of 5 promotional activities, Singapore, Osaka, Shanghai, Chengdu, the last stop Beijing, August 12 and the national team round, after a week of joint training, go to Spain, go to the competition venue to prepare.

As for individual training, Sun Ce is not focusing on additional training now, but takes a good time to take a break, and consolidates his shooting training when he has time, focusing on improving his free throws.

Last season, an average of almost 5 free throws could score 4, which was okay overall, and he would not be the one who was cut, but the free throw line hook shots could have a shooting rate of about 50% when they were empty, and the free throws were not 844678, Sun Ce was still quite ashamed.

Then, before the new season, it will focus on practicing free throws.

In fact, it is also training for the middle pitch that needs to be further developed, there is not much room for improvement, and the improvement of the mid-pitch is not so easy, that is, the right side of the three-second zone is used the most in the past, so it can be smoothly improved.

Breaking through the top class to the top, such a level of mid-range shooting, even in the NBA, not many people can do it.

The stronger you are, the harder it will be if you want to continue to get stronger!
