Chapter 542 March Quick Report
In fact, this lineup of the Pelicans will be very difficult if they want to maintain it next season. First of all, Brother Nongmei’s contract of 2200 million US dollars this season is naturally the highest in the team, and secondly, Kao Shen’s contract of 1600 million And Anthony's $2200 million contract also makes the team's salary space not so healthy, but this is actually okay. After all, the salary cap has risen sharply this year, and the prices of these contracts are actually relatively high. It can even be said that these contracts are actually super-value contracts.

But the problems they will face next season will become very realistic. Holiday is a contract year this year. If they want to keep Holiday, they will give him a satisfactory contract next year. Now his 1100 million contract is obviously not enough to satisfy him.The combined contracts of these four people are still 7000 million this season, which is not bad compared to the 8000 million salary cap, but after Holiday renews his contract next year, the total salary of the four may exceed 3000 million. Is there only [-] million left to sign the remaining ten role players?
So this year will be their desperate fight. If they can successfully win the championship, they may be able to recruit good veterans in the summer and join the team with a basic salary. This will also solve the problem of insufficient salary space. If they can't win the championship, Anthony's contract will expire, and next year will also be Cousins' contract year. Both of them are very eager for the championship, so if the Pelicans can't win the championship, it is difficult to guarantee these two Stay with the team, let alone talk about salary cuts and contract renewals.

Of course, this situation is also applicable to the Lakers and Warriors. After this season, the major point guards in the league will basically start negotiating contracts. As far as Ye Xuan is concerned, his contract is the next one. The season is due, and although his contract amount for the next season has reached around 2300 million, it is obvious that under the current environment, this price still cannot satisfy Ye Xuan, although Ye Xuan doesn't really care about it now. The size of the contract is too big, but who would dislike too much money?

In addition to Ye Xuan, Curry's contract has also expired. This will make the Warriors very passive next season. The reason why they have been so good in the last two seasons is that they are selected through the draft. In addition to this reason for the rise, the biggest reason is actually that Curry did not get an All-Star contract after the end of his rookie contract. Now he still holds a 1200 million one-year contract. It's a child labor contract.And if the Warriors want to keep Curry after the end of this year, then their salary space will be greatly reduced. If they don't win the championship this year and want to keep Curry at a high price, Durant estimates There is no way to stay in the Warriors. If they win the championship, they still have the opportunity to use the championship to keep Durant.

Of course, there are still a few point guards whose contracts expire within this year or two. Paul is the first to bear the brunt. The current combat effectiveness of the Clippers is obviously very problematic. In addition, Reeves is also somewhat displeased with Paul. It is pleasing to the eye, after all, Paul is now blocking his son's way to the top, so this season is basically sure to be Paul's last season with the Clippers, and next season, Paul's whereabouts will also become a very likely The decision to change the league structure, especially if it is carried out according to the current media, then Paul's next home is likely to be the Spurs, then the Spurs with Paul, Aldridge and Leonard will become Another horror in the West.

Then Westbrook's contract also expires after this year, but after Durant's incident, the Thunder were obviously a little scared, so he started talking to Westbrook directly in the middle of this season. Let's talk less about the contract renewal. In the end, Westbrook renews the contract with the Thunder decisively. After all, in order to form a sharp contrast with Durant, the best choice is to stay with the Thunder.And Westbrook's contract is not small. In the end, the Thunder offered him a contract of 1000 million for five years.

Of course, we are talking about the point guards in the West now. The point guards in the East are all good. There is only one Rondo with a one-year contract. It is very likely that the Bulls will trade him for rebuilding. It is very likely that the contract will continue to be renewed with the Pacers next season, but the contract amount is estimated to not be as large as the current contract. Of course, it does not mean that there are no top point guards in the East. They also have players such as John Wall Players like Kyle Lowry and Kyle Irving, but these players are currently playing well in their teams, and there is still a period of time before the contract expires, so these players will be replaced next season. The odds are slim for the team. (At this time, few people could have imagined that Irving would directly force the palace next season, and then be traded)
Not to mention the current contract issues of a bunch of point guards in the league, the Lakers do have some problems that need to be solved urgently after losing this game.However, in the following period of time, the opponents of the Lakers became various rebuilding teams, so in the next few games, the Lakers can slowly start to adjust their state and fine-tune the lineup. .

So in the next few games, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 103:100, the Suns 102:99, and the 121ers 109:76. Although these three games were against weak teams, But the Lakers played very tangled, and there was only one reason. They were too relaxed during the game, which allowed the opponent to get many opportunities that they shouldn't have. This is also related to Ye Xuan's mentality, after all Ye Xuan is still a young man under the age of 25. Although he has already become famous in the league, it is precisely because he became famous too early that he is a little bit flustered.

After the two games against the Suns and the Mavericks, Ye Xuan finally readjusted his mentality, so in the game against the 76ers, the Lakers finally won easily again. Ye Xuan finally clocked out of get off work for the first time in three quarters after five games.

In some subsequent games, the Lakers also had to start to pay attention again. By the time of NO.16, they will usher in the Rockets, who have played so well this season. Harden played against the Pelicans last week. In the game of the Orioles, one person scored a super high score of 61 points alone, and overthrew the Pelicans, which is sitting on the Big Four, by one person. This is something that many people did not expect.The score of 61 points is also the highest score of Harden's career so far. Although it is not as explosive as Ye Xuan's 90+ super scoring show, it can also make 90.00% of the players in the league look up.

Fortunately, Harden may have used up his luck in that game, so in this game against the Lakers, Harden's performance was simply far from that game. No, the audience still took 23 shots, but only hit 7 of them. Although relying on methods such as cheating fouls, he still scored 39 points, but because his offensive efficiency is indeed a bit low , So in the end the Lakers easily defeated the Rockets.

After defeating the Rockets, the Lakers started their six consecutive away games with confidence, but they did not expect that this away game was much more difficult than they imagined. The first away game challenged the Bucks Team, Ye Xuan immediately felt why Milwaukee couldn’t keep those big-name players. It’s already March here, and Ye Xuan had already started wearing unlined clothing in Los Angeles. After getting off the plane, Milwaukee was still a snowy scene , This made all the players of the Lakers very uncomfortable. The originally planned outing action turned into playing video games crowded in Ye Xuan's room.

When it was time for the game, the Bucks didn't know if it was intentional. The air conditioner in the arena was not as powerful as Teby's, which made the Lakers players feel a burst of coolness when warming up. It was precisely because of this problem that Ye Xuan felt that he was about to catch a cold. Although the Lakers still defeated the Bucks in the end, this game was one of the few times the Lakers were dragged into overtime by their opponents this season. During the game and overtime, the Lakers still relied on Ye Xuan's performance to win the final victory. Of course, Ye Xuan also paid a price - all two bottles of physical recovery potions were used in this game.

And then they knew why everyone was unwilling to play away games consecutively. After arriving in Cleveland, they needed to live here for a day before starting the game. In the hotel, there is basically no place to go. In the past, I could borrow the basketball gymnasium of the local school for training. As a result, this year's Lakers have been defined as the main opponent of the Cavaliers to win the championship. There is no hope for things in the arena.And this game also let Ye Xuan know what is called League No.1.

In this game, Lao Zhan suddenly broke out with amazing fighting power, just like last year's finals. In this game, Lao Zhan made 21 of 13 shots, scored 41 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. Super data, although Ye Xuan also performed very well in this game, but 19 of 11 shots, 36 points and 15 assists were not able to help the Lakers win a victory, but I have to admire Director Lu for actually putting This regular season was played like the finals. Lao Zhan's luxurious statistics were only played because he was forced to use all his energy. After all, Lao Zhan actually played for 42 minutes in this game.

After losing to the Cavaliers, the Lakers are still playing away games, but their away game is equivalent to a change of direction, giving the Lakers a chance to rest, because this time the away game, the opponent is the same city team of the Lakers Clippers.For the Lakers, this is no different from playing at home, and although the opponent this time is still the Clippers, their current situation is different from when the Lakers' winning streak was ended. Paul had just returned, and the whole team was still working together for the same goal, but it didn't take long for the atmosphere of the team to change. Reeves' tactics remained the same, while Paul hoped that the team's Make some appropriate changes in terms of rotation and tactics.

This small suggestion is not too much, but it touched Reeves' fragile nerves. He felt that if he agreed to Paul's request this time, then his right to speak in the team would become less and less , and then gradually being emptied by Paul, and in the end not only himself, but also his son's future stardom will be affected. Everything, as long as it is related to his son, no matter how small it is, it will become serious.

Therefore, Reeves not only did not make positive tactical modifications, but also changed the direction to reduce Paul's role on the court. The result is naturally self-evident. Although the Clippers have won more than 30 wins, but It can only be ranked ninth in the West, and still has not entered the playoffs. This makes Paul even more dissatisfied, so recently Paul also directly faced the Clippers on his social software. This year, the Clippers If he is still unable to enter the Western Conference Finals, then he will not consider staying with the Clippers next season.

Therefore, the current Clippers team seems to have a strange atmosphere. This game against the Lakers is not as difficult as the last time when the opponent's winning streak was ended. Ye Xuan scored 31 points and 11 rebounds in three quarters , and then went straight to get off work. In stark contrast, Rivers Jr. played almost as much as Paul. He played 29 minutes in this game and scored 17 points on 3 of 9 shots. , the assists are not bad, with 6 assists, but he still has as many as 8 turnovers. If it weren't for the fact that other Clippers players played like shit in this game, Reeves Jr. estimated It is about to be set up as a model and used as a negative teaching material.

In the next few games, the Lakers also easily won the game. Two of the games against the Timberwolves were relatively difficult. Although the Timberwolves are still a rebuilding team, the Lakers challenged the Timberwolves away At that time, they found that they were just like the people in Milwaukee, using their harsh environment to cause trouble for the visiting team. Fortunately, the Lakers came from Los Angeles this time, so they were able to cope with it.
