Chapter 309 The Unquiet Alliance
While the Pacers executives were still considering whether to trade Hibbert, whose price was rising, or continue to 'hold and wait and see', ESPN reporters broke a big news, which was actually not It's news. After all, everyone has known about this for a long time. That is, the league's broadcast contract will expire next year. After the end of the next season, the league will need to negotiate new contracts with major broadcasters. up.

In fact, this is not something worthy of attention for the alliance. After all, this thing was determined ten years ago, but the key is that the current economic development speed is beyond people's imagination. It's amazing, and the league will naturally not give up this opportunity to make a lot of money, so this time the league's broadcast contract is likely to sign a sky-high price.

And the most intuitive impact of this sky-high contract is that the salary cap for next season is destined to skyrocket. The NBA salary cap is the most famous salary restriction clause in the NBA.Teams cannot spend more than that amount on players in total wages.The concept of the salary cap was introduced in 1984. The NBA and the players union first negotiated, and the salary cap was officially announced only if both parties agreed.Every year the NBA's salary cap increases, from $1997 million in 98-2690 to $2010 million in 5800. In the 2013-2014 season, it increased to $5867.9 million.

The specific amount of the salary cap is closely related to the total income of the NBA in the previous year.Specifically, this salary cap is based on the total income of the NBA in the previous year, and then take 48% of this total income as the capital spent by the NBA team, and then take this 48% income and divide it by 30 (NBA last season The total number of teams), the average obtained is the salary cap of the year, and the total salary spent by each team on the players must not exceed this figure.

But it is this total income, after signing a new broadcast contract, will definitely get a very terrifying increase, and the increase in the salary cap will inevitably lead to a very terrifying situation, that is, the salaries of the stars will rise sharply, The league's basic salary will also get a boost.Therefore, in terms of contract formulation, many stars will deliberately set their contract year for the next season. Even for some longer contracts, they will leave a player option to jump out of the contract to give themselves the opportunity to obtain a big contract.

In fact, these things don't have much impact on Ye Xuan, because his contract is directly signed to the 17-18 season, and he doesn't have any player options to jump out of the contract, so even when the time comes, other people's contracts will start to increase. , I can only watch.But there is also an advantage in this way, that is, Ye Xuan's contract can be regarded as a super value contract, not the kind of poisonous contract similar to Jeremy Lin that Pritchard envisioned at the beginning.

In fact, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Ye Xuan. Of course, his current strength is beyond doubt, but judging from the current development of the league, it is really difficult for one person to lead the team to win the championship alone. It's too big, so if Ye Xuan occupies less salary space, he can also save some space for the team to sign some other helpers.And now Ye Xuan's income is no longer supported by the team's salary. Under Shen Wei's management, Ye Xuan now has a lot of endorsement contracts, and his original commercial value is also in the last year. With the help of the season championship and finals MVP, it has improved to a very terrifying level.

So Ye Xuan no longer cares about the small income of the team's salary. He now wants to get a lot of honors to help him survive and improve his strength.After all, team wages can only account for less than 1/5 of his income now.

So for this reason, many big teams want to take the opportunity to get some garbage contracts that are about to expire, so that they can use it to free up salary space, wait for those big players to jump out of the contract, and then sign one or two with the maximum salary One, complete the reconstruction in one fell swoop.Therefore, although there are not many transactions of big-name players this season, the transactions of some ordinary players are much more frequent than in previous seasons.

Time flies. Although the Pacers defeated the Cavaliers for two days, the tight schedule did not give them any breathing space. On February 2th, they had to leave Indiana again for Charlotte. Specially challenged Joe's boss Hornets.

The last time they played against the Hornets, the Pacers relied on Ye Xuan's outstanding performance to defeat their opponents. Their core player, Kemba Walker, was almost psychologically shadowed by Ye Xuan.And in this game, the Pacers, with the momentum of just defeating the Cavaliers, will definitely win this game in one fell swoop, but it's not true that the Hornets don't have a little bit of power to change hands. The internal and external strength of the team is quite average. Although there is no particularly strong point, the overall strength is not weak.

It's a pity that in this league where strength is paramount, "not weak" is not enough. Facing the still strong Ye Xuan and the suddenly awakened Hibbert, the Hornets still seem a little vulnerable Feel.At the beginning of the game, the Pacers seemed to be a little slow, and they didn't gain any advantage in the first seven or eight minutes. But shortly after the start of the second quarter, Ye Xuan started to exert his strength. A wave of 8:7 small high After facing, he directly controlled the rhythm of the game firmly in his own hands.

At the end of the first half, the Pacers relied on Ye Xuan's excellent performance and Hibbert's crazy performance in the interior to gain an 11-point lead. At the end of the half, Ye Xuan and Hibbert teamed up to score 37 points Super data of 12 rebounds and 8 assists. (In fact, Ye Xuan still hasn't grabbed a single rebound.)
In the second half, the game became easier. Since they had already achieved a double-digit lead, the Pacers played unhurriedly, constantly using their strengths to expand their lead, and finally in the At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two teams was opened to 18 points in one fell swoop.At this time, the Hornets obviously did not intend to continue to persist, and directly replaced all the main players.

After this game, the desire of the general managers of those teams to pursue Hibbert was strengthened. After all, it can be said that it is luck to play well in one or two games alone. These four consecutive games have been played very well. That is the question of strength, which shows that Hibbert himself has the ability to dominate the game.It's a pity that they all selectively ignored the key factor of Ye Xuan.
