basketball never sleeps

Chapter 186 "Mo Clause" The Heat Must Dissipate!

"The second grader beyond the magician, unanimous FMVP!"Is he a natural point guard or a natural winner? "

"The Heat won the championship, the first international FMVP with 22 assists in a single game opened the era of big offense! "

"Looking back after 13 years, O'Neal finally brought the championship trophy to Florida! "

"The Lakers Pistons teamed up to help the Heat win the championship, Riley said frankly that luck is too good! "

"Popovich's Nightmare, Heart Wounds Are More Difficult to Heal Than Physical Wounds! "

"..."

The playoffs are a plundering game. The popularity of each team after a season finally fulfilled the Heat.

Before the Heat's players got off the plane, their legends were already flying all over North America.

In the morning after winning the championship, thousands of fans rushed to Miami International Airport, waiting for the return of their heroes.

Wade did not stay in San Antonio to recuperate. After a temporary inspection, there was nothing serious, he took painkillers and flew back with the team.

In order to compensate him for not being able to celebrate together after winning the championship, everyone gave him the job of "defending" the O'Brien Cup.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, the Heat players walked out along the channel one by one, and even selected a few lucky ones to distribute autographs and souvenirs prepared by the team.

The finale appearance of the Big Three pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

Mo Wen was holding the FMVP trophy, Wade was holding the O'Brien Cup, only Ao Pang's hand was empty, which made Ao Pang, who has always been the focus of the spotlight, a little uncomfortable.

But after a while, he found his "object".

—he picked Wade up.

Wade, who was still in a weak state, had no strength to resist at all, so he could only cuddle and laugh while leaning against O'Pang.

Fortunately, Shaq himself was also injured in his legs and feet, so he carried Wade through the area where the media gathered and put him down.

"Why don't you hug Mo?" Wade asked, gritted his teeth unconvinced.

"Because I want to play for a few more years." Ao Pang's answer was very sincere.

Honest people should be pointed at guns!

The championship parade was arranged four days later, so the Heat players collectively sent the trophy back to the team. After taking two sets of photos, they were temporarily disbanded. The rest was for the team to prepare for the championship parade celebration. This kind of thing is not for players to intervene that's it.

The team's affairs have come to an end for the time being. Ao Pang, who has endured for nearly two months, can't wait to take his brothers to happy together.

Before the championship parade, the Big Three discussed and took turns to arrange everyone's night.

The three people are not short of money. Ao Pang and Mo Wen are now printing money that is smoking from the money printing machine. The poorest Wade also got Converse’s early contract extension before the finals, 2700 million for three years, entering The era of money in sacks has begun.

Catherine did not go back to Miami with Mo Wen, and she was not yet completely free as she was only 6 months old, not to mention that she was accompanied by two oil bottles.

Although because of several X liberation movements in the last century, old beauty has become synonymous with openness.

But unlike the general public’s happy education, the American elite’s education for their children is quite similar to that in China, except that they use Manet to broaden their children’s horizons when talking about their grades.

(Strictly speaking, it was Mao Xiong and Rabbit who made a "bad start" and scattered the precious fire of knowledge to the world at will.)
As the granddaughter (nephew) of "Melody", Catherine will inevitably be subject to certain constraints.

Of course, she will not be so leniently controlled. When the Heat win the championship parade, she will come again. She can't do whatever she wants, but she can learn from others.

Originally, everyone in the Heat planned to go home and take a nap before coming out to have fun.

But in the end the Big Three were the only one present.

Wade really can't get tough anymore, he is thinking about recovering from his injury as soon as possible, and try to have time to practice before the new season.

And Mo Wen—what he said to the outside world was that the domestic interviews in the past two days could not be arranged.

But actually—

Self-disciplined like him, he started high-intensity physical exercise on the first day back.

He actually wanted to rest, but who would have imagined that, as soon as he got home, he saw a room in broad daylight and drew the curtains.

Mo Wen has the habit of taking a nap, so the curtains are very good at shading.

At the door of the room, Mo Wen could tell just by the sound that Catherine (John) and Ruth were exercising secretly in the room.

unacceptable!

When Mo Wen came in, Catherine saw his face clearly and said nothing.

When Mo Wen came in, Catherine, who had already gotten used to it, also suppressed her voice.

When Ruth felt it, she thought she was hallucinating and didn't say anything. She thought it was Catherine who had bought some new toy because she was not familiar with it.

A big bed has the advantages of a big bed, and there is a lot of space for exercise.

From exercising in the morning to the afternoon in a daze, Mo Wen turned on the bedside lamp to look for his mobile phone, and this chaotic time and space finally ushered in light.

"Asshole, it's fine if you treat me like this, but you also treat Ruth like this? Believe it or not, I'll bite you to death?"

Catherine saw Ruth, who was seriously wounded and riddled with bullet wounds, she couldn't help but pinch Mo Wen's waist angrily and weakly.

Snapped--

Mo Wen comforted Catherine with one hand, and checked the messages during this period with the other.

Fortunately, most of them are still congratulatory messages, and some messy things, such as the invitation to the [-]th National Games, etc., which were directly discussed by Human's team and the domestic team at his cousin's side Now blocked.

Mo Wen had already mentioned to them before that this summer he had to take a good rest and not touch basketball for the time being. In two years, two championships and one Olympic bronze medal, he was full day and night, so he had to give him some time to catch his breath... …

Life is proud to be thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

He is now successful in his career and earning a lot of money. There is no need to patronize running and ignore the scenery along the way.

Throwing away the phone and turning around, Mo Wen finally had the time to look back and appreciate his masterpiece.

Oh, the damn guilt... where did it go?

Mo Wen began to examine his own heart. The soul that had been tempered like steel actually exuded the stench of human beings.

Heck, he's not a saint yet.

Well, he'll never be a saint either.

There is no need to quibble, and there is no need to be hypocritical. Maybe there are many good men in this world, but he is not.

Only do great things, not great people.

Ruth, who recovered from her daze, smelled the familiar breath and looked at the familiar figure. She raised her head in disbelief, looked at Mo Wen, and then at the lazy Catherine.

The red glow that had just faded made a comeback.

"Catherine, just now, wasn't it a dream?"

"Don't pretend to be Ruth, I can see clearly without a light, hum, you're ashamed to blame me, you're more devoted than me!"

"No... no! I just... ah! Catherine, listen to me, it's all done by my body! Me, me, me..."

"Mo, what are you going to do to Catherine again? Damn it, you bastard, there is a key in the second drawer at the head of the bed, take it with you first!"

···
It was night, and a group of distinguished guests were welcomed in a high-end nightclub in Miami.

The quality of the rounds of the Ao Pang group will not be low, and as the focus besides Ao Pang, Mo Wen is quickly surrounded by a group of colorful Yingying Yanyan.

It's a pity that the seventy-percent full Lord was not interested in eating fast food, so he turned down the toasts from these women who wanted to eat his waist. Mo Wen asked the bartender for a glass of juice, and sat at the table of the child...Mourning.

"Hey, this is not something a man should do." Mo Ning clinked glasses with Mo Wen and said teasingly.

By the way, Big Zhi and Kenyon Dooling are also at this table.

"Alonzo, do you know the secret of my success?" Mo Wen took a sip of the juice, his deep eyes seemed to capture the entire nightclub in his field of vision.

"WHAT?"

"I like it, I need it, I fit in and...I say no."

The people in the private room of the booth were silent for a moment.

Mourning thought for a long time before slowly raising his head, pondering for a long time.

"I... don't understand."

On the second day, the nightclub that Ao Pang thought he had chosen with high privacy was caught by the paparazzi who liked to squat. They also bought some oral materials and secretly taken photos of the girls at a high price.

This is actually nothing. After all, the players have worked hard for a year, and it is normal to vent.

It's just that the high-spirited FMVP once again appeared in the newspapers.

"No wonder Mo was able to win the FMVP. It turns out that everything is due to his self-discipline. He only drinks juice in nightclubs. He deserves his success!"

"He said he was single all the time. I didn't believe it before. So he's for real?"

"I have no objection to the celebration after winning the championship, but local players should really reflect on it. This is the professionalism that a player should have!"

"Nash doesn't eat sweets, don't only drink juice in nightclubs, people who are stronger than you are more self-disciplined than you, hey, I hope this year's three rising point guards can break the monopoly of international players!"

For a while, on the major forums in North America, the news was full of praise for Mo Wen.

"Let me just say, he's a solid guy."

Catherine (Schwarzenegger) waved the newspaper and said proudly.

"Well, it's rare. I thought he was a casual playboy before. I didn't expect him to maintain self-discipline at this time. Well, it's almost one-fifth of my level." T800 cut Steak approved reviews.

The next night, in a different place, when Mo Wen was looking for a team, Ao Pang looked at Mo Wen curiously.

"So, there were so many girls last night, there really isn't one you can fancy?"

Mo Wen smiled and said nothing, but pointed to the spot on his arm that was bitten by Catherine last year.

"I just knew it!"

Two days later, the championship parade ran around American Airlines Arena, assisted by the entire team and police officers from nearly all over the city.

Speaking of it, this is the first time in Mo Wen's life to win the parade. After the Pistons won the championship last year, he didn't stay in Detroit too much. He just packed some things and left.

The lively scene is called one: the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, the banners fluttering, and the crowds of people.

The Heat's first championship in team history belongs not only to Miami, but also to the entire state of Florida.

Many Orlando fans 300 kilometers away also drove here to join in the fun.

After circling the main road outside the arena twice, like an emperor parading his own territory, the bus slowly drove into the parking lot of the arena, and the championship celebration also began amidst a stream of ribbons.

In fact, there is nothing there, just cut the wonderful shots of the Heat's game this year and the materials shot in the locker room into a documentary.

The host and Riley chattered about sensational memories, and finally the Big Three finished the show.

O'Neill picked up the microphone immediately, this time he didn't try to be funny, but recited a full-score composition seriously.

Wade, who was lying down in the ward before, also recited a "grateful heart"

Finally, the microphone was passed to Mo Wen, and Mo Wen realized that he really didn't seem to have anything left to say.

"You know, I'm not good at words, so I can't say anything touching."

"No matter how much you say, when the alarm clock rings every day, after lunch, and during the weekend rest, you will find that your ambitions have become so insignificant."

"So, what can I say?"

"Next year, next year I will stand here and tell everyone."

As the Heat's Big Three exited to applause.

The 2004-2005 season has finally completely entered history.

Before everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, the first major event of the 2005-2006 season has been freshly released.

The NBA's 6-8 annual labor negotiations have finally entered the final stage after several months of back and forth.

Negotiations between labor and management actually started in April this year, but failed to reach an agreement on many issues, and the two parties broke down more than a dozen times.

The labor negotiations in 98 caused the NBA to be suspended for 204 days. The total losses of the players and the owners were nearly 40 billion dollars. Therefore, they were afraid of the recurrence of this tragedy, so the two sides made concessions this time.

The bosses raised the player's profit share from 48% to 51%.

In contrast, the time for players to enter the league has been increased to 19 years old, the maximum salary increase for players has been reduced from 12.5% ​​to 10.5%, the longest contract period has also been tightened from 7 years to 6 years, and the guarantee contract for first-round rookies has been shortened In one year, there will be more frequent doping and drug tests, and after the team's salary exceeds the cap, the players of the team will also have to pay 1% of their annual salary as a fine.

In addition to these bits and pieces of contract details, there are two other clauses that have attracted everyone's attention.

One of them is the classic "Arenas Clause", but this clause does not apply to Mo Wen. One is the middle class contract that his contract has long signed, and the other is that when his contract is terminated, Mo Wen will Has been in the league for three years, does not apply to the 1-2 year players mentioned in this clause.

The other clause is the "Mo Clause" named after Mo Wen.

Originally, this clause should not have appeared so early, but who made the Miami media talk too much and brought the matter of Mo Wen's recent purchase of a big house in Miami to the fore.

Generally speaking, when a star in a contract year buys a luxury house locally, it is an obvious sign of contract renewal.

For Miami fans, this is naturally great news.

Except for Wade, the other two of the Big Three have only one-year contracts left, and there is a hidden danger of contract renewal.

O'Neal is okay, because his agent had contacted the team early, everyone is quite optimistic about O'Neill's contract extension.

Ao Pang has always lived in a 2000 million mansion in Miami, and Miami is not far from the Orlando mansion he goes back to every summer.

However, Mo Wen had no contact with the team before. On the contrary, there were rumors that Mo Wen and Riley had many quarrels.

Now that Mo Wenken is upgrading his mansion in Miami, doesn't that mean he still wants to stay in Miami?
But Miami is happy to see it, but it doesn't mean that other teams are also happy.

First renew the contracts of Mo Wen and O'Pang, and then Wade can use the Bird clause to renew the contract over the cap, plus the early Bird clause, the exception of the middle class, and pay a little luxury tax to sign a few players with a minimum salary. It is very likely that in the next three or four years, the Heat will be able to maintain a strong championship.

The previous games have proved the dominance of the healthy Big Three. This lineup will last for three or four years, or even four or five years. Will other teams still play?
Moreover, they are still waiting for Mo Wen, a big fish. Nash's success example is there. An excellent point guard can make the bottom team in the Western Conference reach the top of the regular season in just one season.

What kind of point guard is this, this is clearly the savior!
Mo Wen's passing is not as gorgeous as Nash's, but his steady and flamboyant passing and his comprehensive strength on both offensive and defensive ends, and his ability to score points in difficult times is even stronger than Nash!

The finals averaged 15 assists per game. If you ask Nash to do it, he may not be able to do it.

With this kind of guard, even without O'Neal, coupled with a normal-level All-Star insider, the team still has the strength to compete for the championship. How can those ambitious team owners not be greedy.

Not to mention, the huge Chinese market behind Mo Wen——

Although the Heat did not release the data, no one doubts that the Heat will be able to earn back Mo Wen's salary by relying on the pile of Chinese sponsors who are scrambling to throw money.

Rounding it up, the Heat are just whoring an MVP-level star guard for nothing.

Stern doesn't want to see this happen either. The Lakers dynasty has the strength of the Lakers and also has his support. The reason why he supported it at the beginning was to make stars, and the second was to create a star team to win over Dan. After the son left, the popularity scattered all over the place.

Now that the Heat are in this situation, it is very likely to create another wild dynasty.

Now the NBA has gradually got rid of the shadow of Danzi. Although the dynasty is attractive, it will also lead to a decline in the overall vitality of the league and weaken the freshness and expectations of the audience. It is not necessarily a good thing for the NBA as a whole to have another dynasty. good thing.

"I think that for those young players who have performed well, they cannot be limited by the conventional maximum salary rule for ball age." At the manager meeting of each team, Lakers general manager Kupchak took the lead in attacking.

"The lake management is right. Our team management philosophy is fair distribution. Those who work harder get more. Players who have made more contributions should be paid more generously. You can't use pure age as the standard, otherwise you will be harsh. Players influence their motivation," SuperSonics general manager Rick Sander echoed.

Immediately afterwards, several other team managers who turned the corner also expressed their support for this issue.

Trail Blazers, Pacers, Raptors, Eagles, Warriors, Kings, Magic... The Pistons, who faintly felt that they were connoted, also made second proposals afterwards.

All eyes were on Riley.

Riley, who was in a complicated mood, didn't show his anger and joy on his face, but glanced coldly at these impatient vampires.

In fact, after half a year of contact, Riley has almost confirmed Mo Wen's intention to leave the team.

Although Mo Wen is usually amiable in the team, but also as a person with a strong desire to control, Riley can feel Mo Wen's ambition to interfere in team affairs.

After this playoffs, Da Fan has basically been in the state of a mascot being ostracized by Mo Wen.

Speaking of conflicts, there are many differences between the two, such as player attendance, training intensity, and playing rotation...

It didn't come out before, and it was also because the two made some concessions after explaining each other's reasoning.

But these problems will not be worn out with the extension of time.

The hot-tempered Riley doesn't want to see two voices in one team. Although Mo Wen usually compromises, he is the one who gets the ball at critical moments.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Mo Wen's departure was already doomed when the two collided with each other.

The so-called exchanging Mo Wen for a bigger house is nothing more than a 200 million mansion. For Mo Wen now, isn't it just an extra endorsement?

Moreover, Riley had heard that Mo Wen's private investment was very successful, and he burned so much money that he even wanted to invest in an Internet company with an unknown future.

In addition to being in Florida, O'Neill also spent hundreds of millions to buy real estate in New Jersey, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, San Francisco... almost all major cities in the United States.

Many stars who have never played for the Heat also have residences in Miami. Could it be that they all want to play for the Heat?

nonexistent.

Since Mo Wen's departure is inevitable, his next contract is not that important to the Heat.

However, Riley, who upholds the idea of ​​tit for tat, did not directly show his cards.

"It makes sense, so, what standard do you plan to use to define whether a player is good enough, and how do you plan to improve his treatment?"

"Ahem, here, our high-level executives have had a premonition: in the first four years of their careers, entering the All-NBA team twice or entering the All-Star twice, and at the same time, winning the MVP or FMVP can meet the definition of excellence. As for preferential treatment, the salary ratio of the corresponding players ignores the age of the ball, what do you think of raising a level?"

(Maximum salary ratio: the ratio of player salary to salary cap, divided into three tiers, the initial maximum salary within 6 years of ball age can only be 25%, the initial maximum salary of 6-10 years is 30%, and the maximum initial maximum salary of veterans over 10 years is 35% %)

Stern, who had been prepared for a long time, looked around with a smile, and after getting a satisfactory answer, he looked at Riley again.

Riley glanced at Stern coldly. The little old man has already made plans, so what else can he say?
"It's reasonable, but I think... less."

"It's better to assign the weight of each honor to 1.5%, or even 2%."

"As long as a player in the rookie period triggers the MVP option, this clause will be automatically activated. What do you think?"

Anyway, looking at Xia Tian's negotiation situation, Mo Wen will either become a free agent next year or sign first and then trade. Do you want to prevent the Heat from renewing his contract by driving up prices?

Alright, let's see if you can give Mo Wen a big contract that can afford Mo Wen's future!

"I know what you're thinking. We can afford 5% of the Heat. If we can afford it, we'll call. If we can't afford it, we'll give up." Riley tapped his fingers on the table and looked around with an uneasy expression.

After a brief silence, the managers who took the lead just now voted for second without hesitation.

They knew that Riley was jumping over the wall and biting back, but they were willing to bear the price.

According to Riley's idea, Mo Wen will get all the honors next year, and the salary they need to pay is only 10% of that of a 35-year veteran. Fat also has the experience of holding 50% of the second round of travel.

If it is only 30%, the Heat have a chance to keep Mo Wen, and if it is more than 5%, the Heat must let Wade go if they want to keep Mo Wen.

Of course, if the Heat decide to build a team with Mo Wen and Ao Pang as the core, they still have a chance to take advantage of Wade's rookie bonus and hit the three consecutive championships, but everyone's intentions are very unified. After these three years, the Heat must disperse!

As a result, everyone in the league was surprised that the "Mo Clause" was born together with the new labor agreement-if players under the age of 24 entered the league within four years, if they can get MVP or FMVP, this clause will be automatically triggered:

The next renewal contract can ignore the ball age. On the 25% of the maximum salary limit, based on the number of All-Star starts and the number of best team (second-team starts) in the rookie within four years, MVP/FMVP is 1.5% based on individual honors According to the bonus calculation, you can get a maximum salary contract with a maximum cap of 35% (initial) and an annual growth rate of up to 5% (original contract * 105%)!

Mo Wenren, who was visiting the "Lizardman" company with Catherine (Schwarzenegger) in Silicon Valley, was shocked.

what happened?

And someone who forced money on him?

No, who the hell is hurting him?

If he really used this clause to sign a big contract, wouldn't he be the target of public criticism?

The 4th grade has the treatment of a 10-year veteran. How many people are jealous of this?

But speaking of it... he is indeed worth the price.

As for being targeted with jealousy... Is there anything more hateful than Nike's sneaker contract with the highest unit price?

Damn, keep playing music, keep dancing!
　It's even later to connect to Calvin; there will be more at night, everyone forgive me.
