On January 30, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced that it had officially completed negotiations with League President Xiao Hua to renew his contract ahead of schedule, and his contract will be extended until 2030!
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue spoke about Shaw's contract extension, saying, "Shaw has taken the NBA to a new level and made the NBA better and better. He's done a fantastic job, the players see it, the coaches see it. Everybody's wages are a**, the NBA is making money, and as long as I'm in the league, I want him to renew his contract for as long as I can. ”
As Tyronn Lue said, since Shaw took over the NBA, both player and coach salaries have skyrocketed, and this summer, Brown and the Celtics agreed to a five-year threeA $0.4 billion super contract extension makes him one of the highest-paid players in NBA history. The Celtics dare to give such a big contract to a player who is the second leader of the team and has a relatively stretched hip in the playoffs, on the one hand, they think that Brown can realize his talent, and on the other hand, they are optimistic about the development of the league, thinking that the league's salary level will rise sharply in the next few years, and Brown's annual salary of $60 million is nothing.
Of course, after all, this is a business league, and there is nothing wrong with everyone making money (although there are more and more garbage contracts), but Xiao Hua is quite questionable compared to the reforms on the field.
I don't know if you have noticed, but now it is getting easier and easier for the league to score, and almost every game can break 100 for both sides, which was unimaginable a few years ago. A few days ago, Embiid scored 70 points and everyone shouted that God would descend to earth, and within a few days, Doncic easily scored 73 points, and since January this year, there have been two 70 points and two 60+ (Towns and Booker). Again, this reiterates that if you're a fast-paced ball-handling scorer under the rules (which encourage offense), 70 points isn't out of reach. Maybe in the near future, everyone will meet and say hello, "Did you score 60 points this month?" ”
Xiao Hua's original intention is good, the offensive rhythm is fast, the defensive intensity is reduced, and the offensive battles between the two sides are often a wave to take away the game, but this kind of three-point rain game is a little tired of watching too much, which is more like gambling, to see who feels good will win. The previous game between the Clippers and the Celtics just illustrated this problem, the Celtics have been making great progress this season, but when they encounter a defensive team like the Clippers, they will be exposed, and they will explain it once they can't feel it. The Clippers are different, with guards like Harden and Wei Shao who can enter the restricted area, as well as Leonard's retro style of play, this kind of frame attack team is the direction that Xiao Hua should encourage.
Luckily, Xiao Hua is also making improvements, and this season's policy of adding mid-season tournaments and restricting the rotation of stars has been very successful. Overall, the league will definitely develop better in the future.
