Chapter 476 The Finale
Although such a large-scale transaction is not hurtful, it is not a very wise decision, but there is no way, the Celtics must clear the salary space they can clear.

They have to give their "king" a contract worth the money.

But this is still not enough.

At this time, Pierce once again helped the team.

He took the initiative to contact Garnett and Ray Allen, who will become the team's main center next season, and the three made a decision to cut their salary at the same time.

"Yes, I am very touched. This has helped the team a lot, but the Celtics don't care about paying the luxury tax. After completing the contract extension with Shi, we will replenish our lineup!"

The general manager of the team, Danny Ainge, held a press conference on behalf of the management, and thanked the old "Big Three" for their help to the team.But that's not all the Celtics have been up to this summer.

Under their proposal, NBA officials quickly adopted a new decision-"Shi Lei Clause".

"Shi Lei Clause": It means that a player can get a maximum salary contract accounting for 35% of the team's salary cap when signing a professional contract after executing his contract.However, this clause has a very strict entry threshold: was elected MVP in the first four years of the rookie contract, or was selected to the starting lineup in the All-Star Game twice, or was selected to the All-NBA Team twice.

At that time, Shi Lei was the only player in the NBA who met this requirement, so this provision of the new agreement was called the "Shi Lei Clause."

Not long after this decision came into effect, Shi Lei's contract renewal with the Celtics, which had been the subject of much attention, finally came to fruition.

As for how much the contract is worth, you guys are so vulgar.
After finishing this "most important" thing, Danny Ainge began to make up for the emptied lineup.

Danny Angie's series of operations started to focus on the future, yes, he started to find helpers for Shi Lei, including Gasol who was traded before.

The draft in 2009 is just average in people's eyes, but in the future, this is a year worthy of special mention. Several superstars were born in this year, including Curry, who really led the small ball storm. Joined the NBA in [-].

In August 2009, the Celtics signed Taj Gibson with the 26th pick in the first round they acquired from the Bulls.

Then they bought the signing rights of the No. 44 pick Tess Budinger from the Pistons in a cash transaction.

And from the free market, signed Sean Livingston, who was ignored by most teams because of a broken leg.

Main players: point guard Rondo, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Ray Allen, power forward Shi Lei, center Garnett.

"They may not have the gorgeous lineup of the Lakers, but obviously, as long as the Celtics stay healthy, they are still the most difficult team to beat!"

Although in public opinion, the Celtics have been recognized as much as any team in history, but in any case, the road ahead is doomed not to be smooth, and they are always challenged.

For example, because of their respective regrets this season, they forcibly meshed together, and after only one season, the "peak Lakers" who "disintegrated" because of their respective personalities!
"Yes, this is the same great team. The championship made them compromise with each other. Especially Kobe, people can see a huge change in his game style, which is incredible. People may not think about it, Kobe actually averaged 17.9 points per game this season. But.”

"Mark is the hero of this series, it is his defense, let us beat them for three consecutive years!"

"When I first came to the Celtics, Shi told me, 'Man, you will be my most important helper in the future, so I will drill you hard'. This is the most fundamental reason why I can guard Howard. If you can defend Zhushi's inside attack, you will find that defense is actually a very simple thing."

"And James, this is a late bloomer. No one thought that he would suddenly explode this season!"

"Because Shi told me: 'Dude, I need your help now'! We are friends, brothers, and I have to help him!"

"James White is the most incredible sleeper in the history of the NBA. This is an enigmatic player. People can't find the button to activate him. Yes, everyone, except Stone. Had a short-term success with the Celtics. After that, he left there and started a life of ups and downs, and then he quickly let people down. After that, he returned to the Celtics and took the No. 11 jersey from Stone, and then he became a The bench nightmare of all teams, and has been selected as an All-Star three times, and has been selected as the best sixth man seven times in his career, inheriting the great sixth man tradition of the Celtics!"

"Jimmy Butler is an amazing player. His entire career has interpreted one word-loyalty!"

"I feel the warmth of home here, Shi is like my brother or my father. I always wanted to have a family, you know, I was kicked out of the house by my mother very early, so why did I leave here?"

"Shi is a great player. It is undeniable. His skills, leadership, and of course the opponents he encountered are also one of the reasons for his greatness! In order to defeat him, LeBron left Cleveland for Miami, and Durant, in his prime, chose to join the Golden State Warriors."

"I know that guy will be the biggest obstacle in my career and I have to overcome him, so I choose to leave Cleveland temporarily, but I will come back when I really do it all!"

"I don't seem to have a choice. I don't want him to be a nightmare throughout my career. You know I only came to the NBA a year after him. As you can imagine, we will almost retire together. It is a torture, really. Yes, when you can't see the hope of defeating them, what's more, I don't have time to wait for him to grow old!"

In Shi Lei's hometown, Jimmy Butler, who followed Shi Lei to settle in China after retiring, played with his two children by the beach.This scene happened to be seen by a paparazzi on vacation here. Realizing that this was an opportunity to get big news, the paparazzi immediately turned into a passerby.

"Hi, hello buddy!"

"Hey, hello, bro!"

"This is your kid? They look awesome!"

"Oh no, I'm their uncle!"

"Your nephews are very sweet and lively. What's their name?"

"The older one is called Shi Zhenwu, and the younger one is called Shi Aiwen!"

"Shi Zhenwu, Shi Aiwen! Zhen, Zhen, Ai, I seem to have discovered something truly extraordinary!"
