People breathe a sigh of life! The tree lives a skin, and the soldier can be killed, but it must not be humiliated.
I'm a 5-time All-Star, holding four championship rings, give me such a little money, and I want to eat, who to underestimate, Lao Tzu is gone. This great immortal who lifts the table is,
Clay. Thompson, Klay left the Warriors, and many Warriors fans burst into tears and heartache. I'd rather not win a championship than let Klay go.
Klay's departure made Warriors fans sad and very incomprehensible to the Warriors. The Warriors offered 50 million for 2 years, and the Mavericks offered 50 million for 3 years, and Klay chose the latter. Does Clay have a feud with money? Why is that? The reason is actually very simple, just eight words.
People are not afraid of poverty, but of inequality!
Green, who averages 8 points per game, holds a contract of 100 million and averages 13 points per game, and Wiggins, who is already completely flat, also holds a contract of 100 million and Thompson, who averages 18 points per game, why only give 50 million for 2 years.
The Warriors have been upset in the past few years, do you want Clay to carry this pot alone? In addition to being disrespected, there is another reason why Klay left the Warriors.
The Warriors' championship window is closed, the team only has one supergiant Curry, Wiggins don't count on it, you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. As for the other Boj, Kuminga and Moody, don't count on it.
Playing in such an environment, Klay will be very tired, and it will be too difficult to get an open three-point opportunity on the court. But coming to the Lone Ranger is different.
The Mavericks have Doncic and Irving two killing points, and there is no doubt that Klay will have a lot of open three-point opportunities in the Mavericks. After playing well for a year, Clay may be able to get a pension contract the following summer!
Of course, the ideal is beautiful, the reality is skinny, and Clay must make three major changes if he wants to regain his life in the Lone Ranger.
One, a change in mentality
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, Clay, who has climbed the mountain, must tell himself that this is not what it used to be. Last season's Klay, you can feel it through the screen, and he wants to prove himself on the field too much.
Clay has to adjust his mentality. Accept the fact that you are no longer a top scorer and be a good scorer in a down-to-earth manner.
Second, the style of play has changed
Breaking through is really not good, last season's basket shooting rate was 57%, if it is a big vacancy, make a decisive shot, if there is a defender in front of you, don't force a shot, let alone try to break through. The footsteps are no longer allowed.
Third, the status has changed
In the past, in the Warriors, the second leader after Curry, came to the Mavericks, just an auxiliary for Doncic and Irving, and the role of the team was even inferior to Washington. This psychological gap must be accepted.
Take a look at the Mavericks' starting lineup for the new season,
Doncic, Irving, Klay, Washington, Lively.
There are no problems with this lineup offensively and defensively, and there are both strong killing points on the offensive end, three-point heavy artillery, and a big man who eats cakes.
Defensively, Irving has proven himself to be defensive in the playoffs, and so is Doncic, with Klay being slow but able to play against opponents at the No. 4 position. Lively defended fine.
The Mavericks' lineup will go straight to the championship next season.
Fans and friends, why did Klay refuse the Warriors' high salary, but instead defected to the Mavericks with a low salary? Why don't the Warriors pay Klay a high salary? Optimistic about Clay's future with the Mavericks? Looking at the West, can the strength of the Mavericks' lineup rank in the top three?
