Chapter 59 Signing

Griffin's first All-Star journey has come to an end, and it is foreseeable that Griffin will be a regular All-Star in the future, especially after this All-Star end, many scouts and professional media have praised Griffin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, when Griffin returned to Los Angeles, the sudden news came one after another, first of all, Telfair, who can be called the team's double-edged sword, was abruptly sent to the Cavaliers, and there was no such sign before, and secondly, the Clippers also made some gains in the free market, signing Bobby Brown.

Coupled with the previous operation, the Clippers' lineup has changed a lot all of a sudden, Griffin is a little difficult to accept, and the players who have been together for nearly half a season have suddenly left a group, although there are individual contradictions, but they have really worked hard together.

In fact, Griffin is not the only one who is upset, and there is an argument going on in the office of the Clippers general manager at the moment.

"Hey! I guess you're obligated to give me an explanation! My team members were suddenly traded by you like this? Don't you know that right now we're hitting the playoffs?! "Dunleavy, who is usually quite elegant, is now like an angry lion.

"Come on Mike, you and I both know what Sterling thinks, playoff? Who cares, all we want is income, green money! Raheem Sterling said that the rest of the season will be dominated by Griffin, with all the tactics being around him, playing his style to attract fans for us. ”

“..... Wouldn't it be better if we could make the playoffs with him at the core? Why break up our squad all of a sudden, and how many of these players you've signed now will you keep next season? ”

"I'm sorry it's not something I need to care about, maybe you can just ask the boss, but I wouldn't do it if I were you, and he's probably happy about the millions of dollars he saved right now."

It's clear that the Clippers' playoff goals could have been a bubble from start to finish, and the beautiful bubble that Mike Dunleavy and his team worked so hard to hope for was now easily punctured by those above it.

Dunleavy walked out in a daze, full of a sense of decadence, yes, the players trained hard, their own efforts, and the situation is not too bad now, fully capable of impacting the playoffs, but now it is useless to say anything.

Little did Griffin know that the fate of the team had been decided this year, and he was visiting his new teammates.

The deepest impression on Griffin is Ottlow, which makes Griffin irrepressibly think of Telfer who has just left, the same talent, but the personality is diametrically opposite, Ottlow's name has a criminal meaning, but he is very humble and peaceful, not like a black player.

However, Griffin liked such a player, so the two quickly got together, and Oterlo was happy to have a good relationship with the team's main players as soon as he arrived at his new club, and the muscleman with amazing bounce should be able to make a difference.

Soon the Clippers ushered in their first opponent after the All-Star break, the Trail Blazers, perhaps because everyone has not recovered from the All-Star holiday that has just ended, the two teams gave the audience an ugly game, crazy iron and mistakes, and what is even more ridiculous is that the Clippers still lost the game, 81:72 home swallow loss, Roy only played 15 minutes due to injury and scored 7 points, Griffin 15 points and 12 rebounds, Ade 17 points and 6 boards.

Next, the Clippers played away against the Hawks, losing to the Hawks 84-110, Griffin scored 28 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks on 11-of-21 shooting.

Then the Clippers went to Sacramento to play against the Kings, Evans 19 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists against Griffin 24 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 steals, but the Clippers Carman made a key mistake in the final minute to give the victory to the King.

The road trip continued, against a not-so-strong opponent like the Bobcats, the Clippers still played very hard, and at the last moment Gordon scored a layup to seal the victory, Griffin scored 35 points on 14-of-24 shooting, Gordon scored 27 points, and the two combined to contribute 62 points to a difficult victory over the Bobcats, and the contributions of other players can be imagined.

Continuing to play east to face the Pistons, the team's state did not pick up, Davis scored 20 points, Griffin 21 points, Gordon 17 points, even so they still lost to the Pistons, and the Clippers only scored 10 points off the bench.

The next game of the Clippers is the Suns, and according to the current state, it will definitely be more auspicious, but Griffin is more concerned about the state of the team, without the vitality of the previous one, Griffin found Dunleavy on the court more than once that Dunleavy has empty eyes and is not distracted at all.

And judging from these games, Griffin found that his tactical status has not improved a little bit, and has been routinely used as the offensive initiation point of the team's tactics, which can also be seen from the number of shots.

Therefore, Griffin also followed Olamberto's advice, and consciously showed his training results in the game, and the effect was not bad, for the kind of defensive situation that directly put a big step, Griffin has now developed the habit of raising his hand directly to shoot, and the actual combat is the best way to improve, Griffin is very lucky, the Clippers gave him this condition and environment.

However, the frustration was that he couldn't win, and Griffin also wanted to go over and ask Dunleavy what was going on, but he never asked, and Griffin probably couldn't guess that there would be a situation where the team management didn't want to win.

The result of the home game against the Suns was not unexpected, 113:89 The Clippers won a loss, Smalls 23 points and 11 rebounds against Griffin 27 points and 14 rebounds, Griffin was slightly better in terms of statistics, but Griffin took 22 shots, and the assist rate was only more than 30 percent, which means that almost every shot was chiseled by Griffin.

During this time, Griffin's average assisted power also hovered around, and Griffin's assisted power before the All-Star Game was about 60 percent, which means that the Clippers' previous breakouts and pick-and-rolls have not been played, coupled with the weakness of the bench, it is reasonable to lose.

The challenge of the Kings came as scheduled, and the Clippers at home finally broke out, Rasu Butler hit 4 three-pointers, Gordon 2, Davis 2, Thorton and Steve Blake each hit a shot, a small three-point rain made the Kings difficult to parry, and the home court revenge was successful.

After the competition, she returned to the United States and officially embarked on the trip, and after spending 2 months in Europe, she got a valuable internship in her home country, right in Los Angeles, which made Julia very excited, and her efforts were not in vain.

At the same time, Nike's signing plan for Griffin is also on track, and the contact with the Griffin team is increasing, and the simple reason is that Adidas has officially made an offer to Griffin!

The 6-year 8000w offer made Griffin almost sign directly, Adidas is so rich that Griffin can't imagine it, in fact, the situation of Adidas is not optimistic, the cake in the United States is getting less and less, and there is a faint tendency to parry in other fields.

Adidas executives quickly changed their minds, and the old brother basketball ideas are now gradually falling behind, because the main stars are beginning to decline, and only Howard the Monster is struggling to support it.

If nothing else, potential star Derrick Rose will join Adidas, and Adidas has decided to invest in Griffin, and when the time comes, these stars are still afraid that they will not be able to sell their shoes.

Sam also has some sides, Adidas completely disrupted the original plan, although Griffin didn't like the design of Adaidas, but so what? 8000w! Who cares how you design!

This offer made it impossible for Nike to follow up, and signing a rookie at such a large price was intellectually unscientific, so the Nike team focused on the performance card, but on the premise of no real benefit, a shrewd Sam would not give in easily.

After the situation stalemate, after the Clippers lost to the Jazz away, Griffin scored a luxury double-double of 36 points and 15 rebounds on 15-of-26 shooting, and Adidas once again offered free sponsorship of Adidas basketball armor and formulated a reward contract, such as Griffin won the scoring title and rebounded king, entered a team, won the MVP, entered the playoffs, won the championship, and so on, and other personal honors, there will be corresponding reward terms.

This attack made Griffin compromise too, no one is going to have trouble with the bills, to hell with the damn sneaker design!

Griffin's parents also approve of Adidas, so Griffin can buy a nice home in Los Angeles instead of living in an apartment.

Ahead of the home game against the Suns again, Team Griffin and Adidas have officially reached a contract!

"Mr. Blake, please believe in our sincerity and technology, in the promotion and design of your sneakers, we will come up with the latest technology, no matter in terms of appearance and performance, you will feel our sincerity, happy cooperation!"

However, Griffin's becoming a monopoly could not save the fate of the team's loss, and the home court was beaten by the Suns again, and Gordon scored a game-high 31 points.

After the game, Adidas officially confirmed that it had reached a contract with Clippers star Blake Griffin and would work together for the next six years.

Griffin's social platform also blew up, most of them congratulated Griffin on officially becoming a rich man, and a small number of fans questioned Adidas's decision, not every inside line can be like Warcraft Howard.

DeRozan Jr. and other friends also tweeted to congratulate Griffin, and LeBron James also tweeted that he regretted not being able to become colleagues with Griffin, and Griffin was talking to Griffin on the phone at this time.

Juliatin had already excitedly talked about her shopping list for half an hour, thinking that Griffin's money would have to shrink before it arrived.
