Chapter 1643 The problem of the dynasty year begins
But as the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. It is impossible for everything to go as you wish. For example, the current news made Tang Qian feel very surprised.
Although it is not the headline, because the headline is that Curry also renewed his contract with a maximum salary of more than 200 million yuan, which also made Curry the second "Mr. 200 million yuan" in the history of the league after Tang Qian. But let Tang Qian
That's not what I'm concerned about, because it's normal for Curry to get this salary after winning two consecutive MVPs. And Curry has been with the Warriors from the beginning, so if you don't give it to Durant, you won't not give it to him. Such things
There is nothing surprising at all.
What surprised Tang Qian was the small news link below. When he clicked on it, the title read: Lakers Ariza gave up the last year and chose to enter the free market to test the waters. This made Tang Qian
I was a little caught off guard. Because there weren’t too many conflicts between us, and it could even be said that the team atmosphere was very harmonious. Why?
I was just surprised. Not long after, another news came out, also about the Lakers. It was Joe Johnson who gave up this year and chose to enter the free market to test the waters. At the same time, Butler was not satisfied with his salary.
There seems to be friction with the management regarding his status. Then Randall seems to be complaining that his playing time is not enough and his role in the team is not important enough.
Don't worry, there is also Lance Stephenson who rejected the Lakers' contract extension and chose to enter the free market to test the waters!
Damn it, it seems that all of a sudden, the Lakers, a team that is preparing to challenge the dynasty, is about to fall apart internally. Tang Qian is a little bit unrecovered from this. Why is this???
Of course he didn't know that this was actually a very normal thing, not abnormal.
To put it simply, Jordan's words are the best explanation. The last year of the three consecutive dynasties is the most difficult. Why? Because there are too many things to consider. First of all, the issue of contract renewal and salary. After achieving such results,
Naturally, the mentality of the players in the team is different, and the rising tide lifts all boats. Then there is a decrease in the desire for championships, especially some role players. It is impossible for them to enter any historical rankings, so now that they have rings, they want to pursue them.
Of...only beautiful knives.
In the most evil country of capitalism, the United States, it doesn’t seem like there is anything wrong with these people looking at money.
Even if you don’t focus on money, people will think there is something wrong with you. How many years ago could athletes, especially role players, earn? Why don’t you take advantage of your high worth and be a champion puzzle piece for a championship team and immediately go to the market?
Sell at the lowest price so that you can make a fortune?
There is also the issue of player growth. After two or three years, a good rookie has grown up enough. They naturally need more team roles and team weight. This is normal. Therefore, the team relationship also needs to be reorganized.
Furthermore, there are also a series of fatigue, injuries, etc., which are countless.
Tang Qian communicated with these people on the phone, and the answer he gave him was basically...
We have nothing dissatisfied with the Lakers. We had a good two years here.
Then why are you leaving???
We have to earn more dollars. Isn’t this simple? We are not you. We have so many endorsements and countless high-paying contracts. We live on the wages of these few years. Basically
Except for Randall who complained about his room for growth, the rest all wanted to make money.
I already have two rings, or two, so why am I still here? In addition, we are still in the era of the explosion of contracts. If I just go around outside and just rely on my qualifications to win consecutive championships, I can make a big fortune.
There is absolutely no problem, okay? Even if you encounter someone who doesn't open your eyes, you may get fat in one breath. Since honor is enough, for them, they naturally need the evil ink knife.
Isn't this a normal mentality?
Could it be that the championship ring can still be used as a sword for us? No. So, Boss Tang, I’m sorry, we’ve had a good life in the past few years, but now we have to think about it for ourselves and our families. That’s right.
Tang Qian himself was a little confused. He didn't know how to persuade him. Because they were indeed telling the truth. You can't stop them from going out to get a bigger contract, right?
Of course, they also said that if the Lakers can give them a satisfactory contract, then they are willing to stay. However, this is actually an impossible thing. Now the Lakers have renewed Tang Qian's contract with a super maximum salary.
It is impossible for the rest of the people to bid like the free market. The worth of these people, as they say, has already risen. Therefore, such a sentence actually left Tang Qian with nothing to say.
You can't just get the super maximum salary yourself and not let others increase their salary.
This doesn't make sense either.
Therefore, in the Year of the Dynasty, the first question has actually come. It came so suddenly and unprepared.
Dynasties often collapse due to non-court factors. There is some truth to this. What defeats a dynasty team is not necessarily the strength of one's own team, but something else. Do you think it was the Lakers led by Tang Qian who had this problem?
?The consecutive championship teams led by Kobe Bryant entered the Finals three times, but they also had constant problems. Gasol’s complaints and Bynum’s complaints can be seen through a casual search. Before that, the Miami Big Three were
They all had their salaries cut, so they barely managed to win consecutive championships.
Before the Lakers were led by O'Neal, there were conflicts between Kobe and him, salary issues, aging teammates, injuries, soap opera-like plots, and external fanning, and there were many same problems. Even if you think the Bulls dynasty is monolithic, led by Joe God, there are still many problems.
There are also many problems. Needless to say, the conflicts with the management. The general manager and owner of the Bulls made it clear that no matter whether you can win the championship this time, we will dismantle this lineup. And they really did.
What we said was done. It directly led to Jordan's retirement. Then, there was the aging of the team's lineup, and then there was the dissatisfaction of the players in the team. Do you think the players still dare to be dissatisfied with Jordan? Really, you are like "Cobra" Grant of the Bulls.
, he played Rodman's original position in the first three consecutive championships. He felt that he should have a salary increase because he would get more privileges and treatment. The champion had already won so much, so he should too
He worked hard for the United States and the team's status. He was unhappy with always playing third-place. This contradiction accumulated in the pre-game training camp of the 92-93 season. He complained that Jordan and Pippen did not participate in the "Indian Run" because of the concession.
He was very dissatisfied with the training program. He directly believed that this was Jackson's double standard, and then got angry! He said that he should also enjoy the same treatment as them! Then he and Jackson quarreled and left the training ground directly.
This is not a simple matter, and some people within the team also told Grant that he should be a leader instead of a follower. If he goes out, he can also get the boss treatment. Jordan himself said that after this problem arose, he and Grant
In fact, Grant can never go back to the past. The team is no longer in that close state. The first one to break this state was Grant.
