Chapter 277: Use the Intermediate Potential Booster Card
After winning the championship unexpectedly, Qiao Hai already has some ideas for the new season.
There are many things to pay attention to in the main core lineup last season, first of all, Maddy's rookie contract will expire on July 1, and the Grizzlies need to renew his contract with Maddy, but he is a restricted free agent, and the Grizzlies have the right to match the contract, and Maddy has just led the Grizzlies to win the championship, and obviously will not leave the Grizzlies.
Billups' contract is also expiring, and the Grizzlies also have the right to match and can also be extended first.
Brad Miller's contract also expired, and the Grizzlies did not have Brad Miller's matching rights, which was a problem, Qiao Hai felt that Brad Miller would renew his contract to stay with the team, but Qiao Hai was not confident, in fact, at this time, Qiao Hai was ready to lose Brad Miller.
No way, in 2000, when centers were scarce, Brad Miller, who averaged 12.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 blocks per game last season, was obviously a scarce commodity in the free market.
But Qiao Hai's idea is that if there is really a team that spends money and digs hard, he will not keep Brad Miller.
The reason is very simple, the league will change the rules next season to allow joint defense, so Qiao Hai wants to change the style of play, Princeton offense is very sharp, but the Grizzlies' main tactic to win the O'Brien Cup is to run and bomb offense.
Therefore, Qiao Hai wants to change the offense, the tactical core can no longer be an interior player, make full use of the individual abilities of Maddie and Rahim, and play some quick blocking, covering and passing coordination, which is simple and easy, and the team can also put most of its energy into defense.
The joint defense is legitimate, so Qiao Hai's strong-side multi-person pressing defense can come in handy.
In later generations, Tom Thibodu relied on such a complete version of the strong side stacking defense to help the Celtics win the 17th O'Brien Cup in team history.
Later, in the Bulls, Derrick Rose was seriously injured, and only relying on Joakina Noah and this set of strong-side stacking defense, Tom Thibodo was still able to bring the Bulls to the first place in the East and suppress the Heat with the Big Three.
Therefore, the league announced that the joint defense was legal, and Qiao Hai wanted to play defense, and his strong-side multi-person oppressive defense could not be wasted.
And the presence of Brad Miller has affected the effectiveness of the Grizzlies' defensive tactics to a certain extent.
Therefore, if there is really a team that poachs Brad Miller at a high price, Qiao Hai will not keep him, and he will find a way to come back with a defensive center.
In the main rotation, Elboykins' contract has also expired, and last year the Grizzlies and Elboykins only signed a one-year contract, after which Elboykins will also enter free agency on July 1.
Whether to renew Earl Boykins' contract, Qiao Hai was also a little hesitant.
Boykins is characterized by being excellent at scrambling, but the problem is that after the Grizzlies won the championship, there were a lot more free agents to choose from, and the point guard position was Mike Bibie and Bilupus, and Boykins was really dispensable.
Qiao Hai can find a harder point guard, more defensive or partial three-point shooting, and the tactical role is also higher than Boykins.
But Qiao Hai also felt that Boykins was also a hero of the championship, a veteran player, and he could stay, and there was no need to change, so Qiao Hai was still entangled.
In addition to the above players, the Grizzlies' main rotation roster last season, Sammark signed a two-year, $6 million contract last year, with one year left on the contract, worth more than $3 million.
Mike Bibby has two years left on his rookie contract, Ragabel signed a two-year salary last year, with a second-year team option, and the Grizzlies will obviously exercise the team option, so Ragabel will also stay with the team, and Sean Marion has three years left on his rookie contract.
Raheem signed a big contract last year, 6 years and 70 million, only one year has passed on the contract, and there are five years left.
Roughly with Rasian Nestrovic left on a rookie contract.
In addition to the main rotation lineup, the contracts of the other bench bench players have all expired, and the Grizzlies will not renew their contracts.
So, in summary, in addition to the draft, in the next few days, the Grizzlies will first negotiate with Maddy and Billups for contract extensions.
Then, depending on the situation, see if Brad Miller or Earle Boykins are left.
Finally, whether Manuginobili joins the Grizzlies this season or not, Qiao Hai also depends on the situation.
So, the core lineup that has been confirmed for next season is, point guard Mike Bibby Lups, shooting guards Maddy and Ragabel, small forwards Sean Marion and Sammark, power forward Raheem and roughly, center Rasione Netrovic.
……
After the finals, Qiao Hai received his reward from the system.
The main quest rewards for leading the Grizzlies to the playoffs, one dynasty point, 20 victory points, and a special item that follows up.
Led the Grizzlies to a championship, reached the milestone, and earned a dynasty point.
In addition, there is one remaining status card from before, as well as the unused Intermediate Potential Improvement Card, the Best Sixth Man Improvement Card, the Injury Card, and the Special Effect Card "Dead Wood Spring", and the total number of victory points has reached 528 points.
Qiao Hai felt that he had something to do again.
He first used the intermediate potential improvement card that he had not used, and the object he used was roughly, a playoffs, which had roughly risen to 75 potential points, and now the total rating has reached 75 points.
It's impossible to keep improving.
The general attitude has always been very correct, and he will do whatever Qiao Hai asks him to do, so Qiao Hai has made up his mind that this intermediate potential improvement card with an effect against the sky will be approximate.
"Intermediate potential improvement card, after use, can increase the used player by 5~25 random potential points."
"Ding! Do you use the Intermediate Potential Booster Card for Wang Zhizhi? ”
Click Yes, and soon, another prompt pops up: "Intermediate Potential Booster Card Successfully Used!" ”
The next second, a roulette wheel appears on the system interface, from 5 to 25, and the pointer turns.
Qiao Hai's breathing was a little short, thinking of heaven and hell.
After the click-click, a number popped up!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, using the Intermediate Potential Booster Card to increase Wang Zhizhi's potential by 13 points! ”
13 potential points, Qiao Hai quickly calculated, 13 plus 75, that is, 88, 88 potential points! Very good! All-star level potential, Qiao Hai immediately felt excited when he thought of the opportunity to see an all-star level.
"I can be regarded as making a small contribution to the Celestial Empire men's basketball team......"
Qiao Hai smiled and looked at the other inventory.
The Sixth Man of the Year promotion card is suitable for Ginobi to use, but it remains to be seen whether Manu will join this season, so this card will not be available for the time being.
Injury cards and status cards are also not used, and the special effect card "Dead Wood Spring" also has to wait for a veteran.
However, the victory point has reached 528 points, he can buy the Eagle Eye in the system store, and the special item obtained by completing the main quest, Qiao Hai can also take a pep to try his luck, and of course, there are two dynasty points that are also very important......
