Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 393 Whose Rainbow Fart

Zhao Hao couldn't help sighing, the average salary is 1500 million, which is indeed the biggest contract he can get so far.

As far as the annual salary of this contract is concerned, he is almost on par with Kobe and Garnett who signed fat contracts.

In addition, after the end of this season, James' rookie bonus contract is about to expire.

Because the Cavaliers have his matching rights, it is no surprise that James will sign a maximum salary extension contract with the Cavaliers during the off-season.

The average salary will also be around 1500 million!
In other words, he and James have already taken 3000 million salary space from the Cavaliers.

Based on the current increase in the league's salary cap, next year's salary cap will probably be around 5600 million, and the trigger line for the luxury tax will be around 6800 million.

The two also accounted for almost half of the team's total salary!
Therefore, it is almost certain that the Cavaliers will play with him and James as the core for a long time in the future.

Of course, it's worth it too!

"Jim, of course I am willing to stay, but the team is now defending the title, and I don't want to be distracted by the contract at this time.

Moreover, I only have one idea and goal in mind now, and that is to win another championship!
Therefore, other things are not so important for the time being. "

After Zhao Hao thought about it, he still spoke frankly.

He made such a decision, of course, not only because he wanted to concentrate on defending the team.

More importantly, he wants to put pressure on the team, forcing them to work hard to strengthen during the off-season.

Just like this offseason, Zhao Hao is not satisfied with the team's reinforcement.

Because they didn't do anything throughout the offseason, they just left the championship team, and they didn't even reinforce the team's weakest point guard.

And this problem can easily become a time bomb, maybe it will explode in a certain game in the playoffs.

Of course, in addition to this reason, there is a more important reason!
That is, players with bird rights can renew their contracts on the cap!

In other words, under normal circumstances, the players signed by the Cavaliers cannot exceed the salary cap, but there is a special situation.

That is, this player has bird rights!
At this time, the team can also renew the player beyond the salary cap, but it only needs to bear the expensive luxury tax.

This is why the Cavaliers did not let James choose to renew his contract early!
After the team first strengthens a wave of players, and then chooses to renew James' contract on the cap, this can also maximize the team's strength.

Jim Paxson naturally understood Zhao Hao's meaning very quickly.

"Hao, don't worry, after the end of this season, I will never let the team do nothing in terms of reinforcement like last season's off-season!

I will definitely build a real dynasty team around you and James! "

Zhao Hao also nodded in agreement.

"So, the renewal of the contract will wait for the team to operate in the off-season."

After winning the Lakers in the winning streak, all members of the Cavaliers have no pressure at all.

They also completely let go of their hands and feet in the next game, giving full play to their offensive advantages.

Especially the one-star shooting led by James and the unlimited singles led by Zhao Hao almost made the whole league almost constipated.

And in the fourth quarter of the game, when James and Zhao Hao combined to close the game, the offensive wave became even more unstoppable!
The Cavaliers have won 23 consecutive victories!
"This winning streak will also be the longest winning streak since the Lakers' 1972 horror 33-game winning streak created by Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain!"

Of course, Steve Kerr wants to say that the Cavaliers' winning streak continues!

Big Mouth Barkley also praised the Cavaliers from the sidelines: "I have to admit that the Cavaliers' offensive firepower has completely evolved this season.

At present, they are also averaging 109 points per game, ranking third in the NBA scoring list.

Second only to the Lakers and Suns!

Coach Mike Brown can lead the Cavaliers to play such a smooth offense as a defensive coach. I also want to say that this year's best coach in the league should continue to be awarded to him! "

Mike Brown: You really know the ball!

It's just that when it comes to offense, Kerr can't help but think of the Cavaliers' defense.

You must know that the Cavaliers' defense last season ranked third in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the league!
And this season, their defensive performance was only at the level of a dozen in the league, and even at the beginning of the season, they had degraded to a terrible 20+!

"The current continuity of the Cavaliers is entirely due to the dominance of Zhao Hao and James in the last quarter.

Otherwise, they would not be able to win so many victories. "

Cole couldn't help but shook his head with a sigh.

A defense like the Cavaliers will one day be punished by other teams during the game.

And tonight just hit Cole's guess!
Cavaliers vs. Suns at home!

This game almost attracted more than half of the NBA's reporters to Cleveland.

Everyone also wants to witness for themselves when the Cavaliers' winning streak will go.

Is it even possible to break the record of 33 consecutive victories set by the amazing LOGO man and Zhang Dashuai?

At the beginning, the Suns took the lead.

Maybe it was suppressed by the Lakers, Spurs and Mavericks for too long, even every time he ran into the Cavaliers and Zhao Hao.

The Suns played extremely hard.

And one of the toughest is Nash.

Because he was called by Zhao Hao every time, and even Zhao Hao had to play Nash on the list for James.

Nash is sad!
So in this game, he also fully demonstrated his offensive dominance.

He made 3 of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, and sent 7 assists, which directly stunned the Cavaliers in a single quarter.

At this time, Zhao Hao also shook his head speechlessly at Damon Jones who was defending Nash.

His defensive level may not even reach the league starting pass line!
"It's my turn to defend!"

Hearing these words, Damon Jones also looked at Zhao Hao as if seeing a savior approaching.

"Brother Hao, why are you so nice to me?
I really!If you can, please allow me to rub for you"

Zhao Hao: "Get rolling!"

Zhao Hao originally thought that after he took the initiative to defend Nash, his offensive and passing efficiency would definitely drop.

It's just that this game surprised him!

Nash's touch is overwhelming!
He just can't prevent it!
In the second quarter of the game, Nash, who only played for half a quarter, also shot 5 of 3 from the field and sent 3 assists again.

"In this game, Nash is going to go crazy!" Zhang Weiping couldn't help but shook his head.

Although Nash's defense is terrible, there must be a reason why he can become an All-Star or even an MVP.

The foundation of Nash's survival in this league is his shooting ability and ability to conduct the ball.

Moreover, he is also a player who has brought both of these abilities into full play.

"After all, this is a player from the 180 club!"

As Nash went berserk, the Cavaliers also had to resort to double-teaming tactics.

But what the Suns are least afraid of is the double-team tactic, so all the players started to play hot.

Among them, the bully Stoudemire was the most brave. In the third quarter, he directly presented 5 dunks and defeated the Cavaliers again with 7 of 5 in a single quarter.

At this time, Mike Brown couldn't help thinking of the rainbow fart that Barkley had put on the show before.

He also fully believes that he has a talent for setting up offensive plays.

So when the team was so behind, he didn't deploy any defensive tactics, but fought with the Suns on offense!
As for the offensive tactics, it is natural to hand the ball into the hands of James and Zhao Hao.

It's just such a fight, the Cavaliers' offense is not a problem, after all, it is the alliance's king bomb combination.

But on the defensive end, they still can't limit the Suns!

In the end, Mike Brown only persisted for 5 minutes in the fourth quarter. After finding that there was no hope of a comeback, he replaced all the starters.

The Cavaliers also lost their first loss of the season, 102-122.

纳什26分4篮板16助攻，小厮36分10篮板2盖帽。

詹姆斯30分12篮板8助攻，赵昊32分7篮板4助攻。

It's just that the huge difference of 20 points between the two teams made the headlines of the news media in the first place.

After the game, Zhao Hao was interviewed.

"What do you think is the reason why the Cavaliers lost this game so badly?"

Facing the straightforward question from the reporter, Zhao Hao replied directly: "Defense!
It was the defense that cost us the game!
We have lost the entire defense of last season, so we were scored 122 by the Suns! "

Mike Brown on the side is still reminiscing what Barkley said before, the best coach in the league should be awarded to him again.

He was also fantasizing about the day when he would win the award, but when he suddenly found that the reporters on the scene were all looking at him, he quickly wiped the drool from his mouth.

"Zhao Hao is right, our defense has indeed regressed too much.

That's my question for the best head coach in the league!
I also believe that we will soon be able to return to the iron-blooded defense of last season! "

　Four changes tomorrow, the update will be very early
