Chapter 808 I Should Enjoy Family Life

After the Spurs successfully defended their title, it was none other than Popovich who was under the greatest pressure.

As the head coach of the Spurs, Popovich certainly wants to lead the team to establish a dynasty. Although the Spurs can be counted as two dynasties (6 titles) in terms of the number of championships, the first 4 championships were all scattered. Not even defending the title.

So when many people rank the head coaches, Popovich will be pushed behind Jackson. The main reason is that Jackson is the dynasty coach.

Of course, as a general manager and coach, then Popovich is definitely in the top three levels in history. After all, a champion can be used for more than ten years, and there is no one else except him.

Popovich drafted new contracts for many people on the team, including Duncan and Ginobili, two veteran veterans.

However, it should be said that there is no problem with these two contracts. After all, Popovich talked with these two on the night of winning the championship.

Duncan was given a two-year $2400 million contract. Of course, it wasn’t Popovich who was stingy, it was Duncan who took the initiative to cut his salary. He thinks that his annual salary of $1200 million is enough now, and he has been playing for more than ten years. Duncan's annual salary has already exceeded [-] million, and now because of Qin Yan, his jerseys and shoes have gained a bigger market in China. Uncle Deng said that he is really not short of money and can continue to win the championship more than anything else.

If it weren't for the fact that people would be criticized for cutting the salary too much, Duncan would have wanted to take a few million dollars to make a little sense.

Duncan continued for two years, Ginobili also did the same, and the contracts were exactly the same, 2400 million for two years, Lao Yaodao is also the master of not bad money, although he has never received a maximum salary in his life, but after all he has played so After many years and no bad habits, Lao Yaodao's bank deposits must now be in the tens of millions of dollars.

After these two people are settled, the Spurs are now in the lineup, and McGrady, Banner, Diaw, Splitter, Leonard and Whiteside need to renew their contracts.

Tsk tsk, to be honest, after winning the championship, it was discovered that more than half of the team's contracts had expired. If it were another general manager, it would be crazy.

But Popovich is not an ordinary person. He knows how much who should get, and the price he gives is definitely very appropriate. There is absolutely no malicious price reduction. If you are unwilling to accept it, then Popovich will not force you. Feel free to go wherever you want, just leave the instructions...

Pulling away, let's focus on the Spurs' championship parade.

The trinity of water, land and air of the new boss is really not bragging, it is indeed the most luxurious lineup parade in the history of the team, and it coincides with the weekend, San Antonio is almost empty. Amidst the cheers, the traffic in the entire holy city was almost paralyzed!
"My mother, this ostentation is bigger than last year."

Because the Spurs are three-way parallel, the whole team is also divided into three waves. After the lottery, a pair of people are on the boat, one team is in the car, and the rest are in the helicopter.

Qin Yan, the top card of the newly promoted team, naturally stayed on the helicopter. Looking at the dark crowd below, he was really emotional:

Fortunately, I didn't choose to be below, what kind of congestion has become...

"After all, it is the first time to defend the title, and it is the first time for the new boss to appear in front of a large crowd. The pomp will definitely be high. If he wins the championship again next year, then the parade of the dynasty for the first time will probably be even more grand."

Ginobili, McGrady and Qin Yan were on the same plane, looking at the traffic jam below, they also exclaimed how lucky they were.

You know, they got the chance to get on the helicopter after exchanging with Duncan and Dior.

"By the way, Manu, have you renewed your contract?" Qin Yan suddenly remembered when Ginobili said that next year, this old man, it seems that this summer's contract will expire!

"Don't worry, Tim and I have already made an agreement with the coach. After two years, I still want to experience the feeling of a dynasty."

Ginobili knew what Qin Yan was worried about, so he directly told him about renewing his contract with Duncan.

"Well, that's good. Hey, Tracy, your contract seems to have expired. Have you renewed it? How many years?"

Qin Yan's mind was relatively flexible, and he quickly remembered that there was another McGrady on this plane who also wanted to renew his contract.

"Oh, I won't renew the contract."

Somewhat unexpectedly, McGrady actually said that he would not renew his contract!

This, what's going on here?

Both Qin Yan and Ginobili have become serious. McGrady has indeed shown his strength this season. He is one of the most important puzzles for the Spurs to win the championship. If he is allowed to play for 30 minutes, McGrady is definitely a point guard. Top players!
Now he says he won't renew his contract. See what this means, is there another team planning to poach him with a high price?

Is it true that once winning the championship, the team will be disbanded?
"Oh, what's that look on you two?" McGrady couldn't laugh or cry, what happened to these two people, this is still in the championship parade, what do you want to do with this serious face?

"I have said that if I renew my contract, I will only renew my contract with the Spurs and will not consider other teams, but now, I will not renew my contract." McGrady repeated his own words, and he believes they can understand.

"Tracey, what do you mean, you plan to retire?!"

Ginobili realized it first, didn't he, McGrady was younger than himself, and he and the older Duncan both renewed their contracts, so McGrady chose to retire?
"Yeah, I have two rings, and I didn't mix them up. Now, my career has no regrets, and Qin has healed my old wounds, so, I think it's time to change my life .” McGrady waved his hand towards the bottom, while talking to Ginobili, “Spend more time with my family, I think it is the most important thing I should do now.”

"But Tracy, why don't you wait until we create a dynasty next year before retiring?" Qin Yan was a little reluctant. After all, McGrady's ability is indeed of great help to the current Spurs, and he was still his idol when he was young.

"Qin, one must be content. Let's not say whether I can win the championship again next year. Just say that you have restored my health and led me to win two championships. For me, I have no regrets." McGrady Looking at Qin Yan sincerely, "The days in the Spurs may be the happiest time in my career. I am very happy to fight with you."

"However, I am old, and it is indeed time to retire and enjoy family life."

"If you say that, how embarrassing is the relationship between me and Tim..." Ginobili and McGrady have been partners for the past two seasons, and they also have a deep relationship. McGrady suddenly said that he was going to retire, and Ginobili was also reluctant.

"It doesn't matter. At this time next year, I will be at home and witness the completion of your dynasty." McGrady stretched out his fist. "At that time, don't let me down! You can't play casually. I will be ruthless in front of the TV." scolded harshly."

Qin Yan and Ginobili looked at each other, and also extended their fists to touch McGrady.

They didn't say much, because each other's thoughts were all in silence.

Thank you, Tracy McGrady, the No. [-] contributor to the Spurs' fifth and sixth crowns!
