NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 207 How Does It Feel Without a Champion?

After the game, at the Warriors' press conference, Durant was directly absent from the interview. Although he refused to participate in the post-game press conference, he might be fined by the league, but Durant no longer cared.

Compared with the various insulting questions that reporters may ask at the press conference, Durant is more willing to pay some money to clean himself up.

In fact, in the seven games of the finals, Durant's performance was really impeccable, averaging 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, shooting 49% from the field, and scoring higher than James.

But who cares how gorgeous his data is?The Warriors lost, and in the tiebreaker, without Curry, Durant failed to lead the team to win the most critical game.

Besides, among the main force of the entire Warriors team, you are the only foreigner. In this case, who is responsible if you don't?

Warriors coach Kerr said helplessly in an interview.

"The Cavaliers are a very strong team. They have the strongest LeBron in the league, as well as outstanding players such as Wang Feng and Irving. Their strength is comparable to ours. If Stephen G7 can play, we will There might be a chance to win, but luck is clearly on their side."

"No way, this is the game, we have to accept this reality, it may take a long time to heal, but we will not be defeated, what does not kill me will only make me stronger, next season, believe us Will see a stronger Warriors team."

Although Curry was unable to play due to injury, he sat on the sidelines to watch the whole game and also attended the press conference after the game.

During the interview, Curry seemed very disappointed, and took all the reasons for the team's failure on himself.

Compared with the Warriors, the atmosphere of the Cavaliers' press conference is much more active.

James, who put the FMVP and the championship trophy on his desk, smiled brightly.

"Guys, it's a feeling that can't be expressed in words. It's amazing. We worked hard all season, and then we fought against the best team in the league and even in history, and then won."

"This is the city of Cleveland's first championship trophy of the four major leagues. I successfully fulfilled my promise and won the championship for the fans of Cleveland. The long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. It's really, really great..."

"Of course, this is not my victory alone. We are a team, an excellent team, and everyone in the team has played a vital role. The head coach, other players, and even role players, precisely because We are united and united to make it to the end.”

James is very emotional, this championship is really important to him, this will be an important championship that can completely wash him away!Cleveland's championship will make the estrangement between him and Cleveland and even all fans disappear because of the decision one year.

More importantly, this championship allowed him to reach three championships in total, while preventing the Warriors and Curry from three consecutive championships.

After all, if he loses in the finals this time, Curry will win a three-peat championship on his head. James, who only has two championship trophies, can talk about No. 1 in the league?
To put it bluntly, this championship saved his career.

On the other hand, Wang Feng, who was sitting beside James, seemed much calmer.

For Wang Feng, who has been winning championships since entering the league, and now has three consecutive championships and three trophies in hand, the improvement in reputation after winning the championship is really not as real as the rewards given by the system.

When asked how he felt after winning the championship, Wang Feng's answer was quite speechless.

"I think it's okay. If you have to ask me what I think, I can't say clearly. After all, I haven't lost a championship in my NBA career so far, so I don't know what it is like." a feeling of."

James: "..."

Sometimes the gap between anyone is bigger than a human and a pig.

James has struggled in the league for more than ten years and has won numerous honors. He has just won three championships. Wang Feng has only been in the league for three years, and he already has three consecutive championships.

Although Wang Feng did not win the championship as the core leader of a team like James, but for these three championships, especially the last two championships, Wang Feng's responsibilities in the team are also very important, whether it is the Warriors in 15 years or 16. For the Cavaliers, he is the team's second scoring point. While contributing efficient scoring, he will also shoulder the burden of the team's perimeter defense against the opponent's core players.

In this finals, Wang Feng was responsible for defending Durant. When the two faced each other directly, Durant was obviously suppressed by Wang Feng, and his scoring and efficiency dropped sharply. The reason why he averaged 35 points per game was mainly due to It is because Durant used a lot of pick-and-roll screens during the game, misplaced singles and played short players such as Irving.

And from the start of the G4 game, Wang Feng began to come off the bench, and the number of direct confrontations with Durant became less.

Sometimes it is hard to imagine that a player who was born in 92 and is only 25 years old now has won three consecutive championships and can contribute 30+ points per game in the finals. What kind of achievements will he achieve in the future?

"Wang Feng."

At the end of the press conference, a reporter asked a question that everyone was very curious about.

"We all know that after the finals, your contract with the Cavaliers will officially expire. What plans do you have for the future? Will you consider renewing your contract with the Cavaliers to continue to create glory? The Cavaliers seem to have no chance Will you make financial sacrifices for honor to offer you cap space for a max offer?"

This reporter is obviously a local media of the Golden State Warriors, so what he said somewhat meant to sow dissension and disgusting people.

The Cavaliers are actually very clear that it is unlikely that they can keep Wang Feng. It is not impossible to cut the salary and renew the contract, but there must be a limit.

Under the premise of not trading Irving, Love and others in the current salary space of the Cavaliers, no matter how they operate, they can only free up an annual salary quotation contract of about 2000 million at most.

Wang Feng has already triggered the Rose clause, and the starting salary of the next contract can reach 30% of the team's salary cap.

Even according to the 16 million salary cap that the league just signed a new broadcast contract in 2433, the salary cap in 17 may rise to about 9900 million. The average annual salary of the contract that Wang Feng can sign is probably close to 2800 million. Ten thousand!
It sounds hyperbole, but it's the truth.

Mike Conley signed a historically high contract with the Grizzlies last year of 5 million for 1.53 years, and the average annual salary has exceeded 3000 million.

Conley's contract includes bird rights, so it will be higher. Wang Feng is limited by his age and playing time for the team.
