NBA: Fusion Aomine Daiki at the start

Attack the point guard.

This is not a new term.

Among the point guards who have risen in the past two years, Rose and Westbrook are typical.

They are physically strong, talented, and their style of play is loved by fans.

Unlike traditional point guards who like to play, they prefer to attack with the ball.

Most of the assists they send are based on their own deterrence.

Zhou Chen’s style is of this type.

The media also has a similar understanding of Zen Master, they think Zhou Chen is the attacking point guard who leads the new era.

After the victory over the Lakers, the Heat’s ranking has been further consolidated.

With only a month away from the end of the regular season, the Heat have also reached a critical period for impacting the rankings.

Now that the Heat are in fourth place, they definitely want to chase the top three. Although it is a bit difficult, they still want to try.

This period is a critical period for the Heat up and down.

But at this time, the media suddenly broke out a lot of news about where Zhou Chen went in the summer.

Almost everyone knows that Riley only signed a one-year, $2 million guaranteed contract for Zhou Chen, and this summer, this contract will expire.

According to Zhou Chen’s current worth, the starting price will be more than 15 million US dollars, and many rebuilding teams are even willing to offer Zhou Chen a maximum salary.

Zhou Chen is not a first-round pick, and his entry into the league will not be restricted by the rookie contract. In the summer, as long as a team is willing, he can sign a max salary with Zhou Chen.

According to media reports, many general managers of the team have expressed interest in poaching Zhou Chen, and the maximum salary is a small problem.

In this case, can the Heat still have the ability to keep Zhou Chen this summer?

The Heat’s salary space has always been available, but will the price given by Riley satisfy Zhou Chen?

When he turned positive with Zhou Chen, Riley had the opportunity to renew his contract with Zhou Chen in advance, but Riley did not, this time it was a capsize in the gutter.

The stingy Riley signed a one-year guarantee contract for Zhou Chen, but the Heat management fell into a passive position.

Miami’s newspapers are condemning Riley, Riley is also very helpless.

Zhou Chen is a different kind of guy. Apart from Zhou Chen, which non-first-round player can still make a max salary in just one year?

Arenas? He is not as arrogant as Zhou Chen. During his rookie days, Zhou Chen only played a dozen games and was recognized as an All-Star. The future is super huge.

With 58 points in one game and 60+ triple-doubles in one game, if it weren’t for the lack of games, Zhou Chen would have dominated the rankings in scoring and steals.

Who can do that? The only one in NBA history, the rookie Zhang Dashuai was a little choked when he saw Zhou Chen.

As the Heat continued to play games in March, the news was getting hotter and hotter.

Finally, the NBA league official spoke out. The league announced that in order to protect the rights and interests of the team, the NBA will introduce a contract limit for the second and third years of non-first-round picks in the future.

The league is aware of this loophole and is preparing to start researching it next season.

Of course, this clause was too late to pass this year, and it would not affect Zhou Chen.

The announcement of this clause was also dubbed the “Zhou Chen clause” by media fans.

……

In a post-match interview, Riley was also asked by reporters about Zhou Chen’s contract.

A Fox Sports reporter asked: “Mr. Pat, Zhou’s contract will expire this summer, and many teams have already said they will poach. Are you willing to do your best to keep Zhou?”

When the game went smoothly and there were not many breaking points, discussing where Zhou Chen was going was a hot headline recently.

Pat Riley said: “Zhou is a part of the future of Miami, and I will do my best to facilitate the next contract negotiations with Zhou.”

After knowing that he was stingy and caused a lot of trouble for the team, Riley didn’t dare to have reservations about Zhou Chen’s contract renewal.

Do your best to keep Zhou Chen, this is the boss’s order.

Now the initiative can be in Zhou Chen’s hands, as long as Zhou Chen is not willing, he can not renew the contract with the Heat in the summer.

For just one season, it was too hard to keep people with affection, and Riley also had a headache.

“Then what price do you think Zhou’s contract is worth now?” the Miami reporter asked.

“Max, without a doubt, he’s one of the best point guards in the league,” Riley answered firmly.

Reporters know from Riley’s mouth that the Heat are really ready to meet Zhou Chen’s needs at all costs.

With the continuous progress of the game in March, Zhou Chen’s performance tends to be stable, and Zhou Chen is almost certain that he is the second person of the Heat.

As long as Wade’s state declines, Zhou Chen can quickly take his place.

He is the future of the Heat!

Reporters in Miami were relieved by the firm commitment of the ever-prudent Riley.

In mid-March, the Heat also lost two games, and these two games were the loss of the entire Heat team.

It is not unacceptable for Zhou Chen to lose. Sooner or later in the NBA, he will lose. A team including him will always have ups and downs. These are normal.

Zhou Chen’s performance in March was still crazy. He maintained his average of 38 points, 7 assists, 7 steals and 6 rebounds per game.

With the increase in the number of matches, Zhou Chen’s strength is more and more displayed in front of everyone.

Although Zhou Chen’s data has declined compared to those games at the beginning, it is normal.

Wade’s comeback occupied a part of the ball and tactical position, and then the rest of the league also had a certain understanding of Zhou Chen, and they were constantly targeting Zhou Chen on the court. The game became more difficult to play, and Zhou Chen’s efficiency was impossible. It was so scary when he was completely unfamiliar with his opponent.

The news that Zhou Chen could get a maximum salary in Riley’s mouth became the most headline news in the NBA that day.

This made the Celtics starting point guard Rondo, who had just defeated the Lakers, a little dissatisfied.

Rondo had a super triple-double of 23 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds, but there was no news.

Even at the post-match press conference, Rondo was asked by reporters about his comparison with Zhou Chen.

The reporter asked Rondo: “More and more fans think that Zhou Chen is the first point guard in the East. What do you think?”

Rondo said angrily: “He is just a rookie, he has never made an All-Star or won a championship. Fans and the media should give more respect to veterans.”

This veteran is to imply that he… Although he is not old in qualifications, it is enough that he is older than Zhou Chen.

The reporter continued to ask: “Will you choose to renew your contract with the Celtics this summer?”

Rondo naturally expects that he can get a good contract in the summer.

The 22-year-old Rondo is averaging 29.9 minutes per game this season, scoring 10.6 points, 5.1 assists, and 1.7 steals, showing a solid performance.

Rondo said: “Of course, they know my ability and need me. I also like to play on a team like this, the Celtics are a team with a glorious history, we have the Big Three, and I want to do my best as a point guard. Possibly pass them the ball and I want to keep working with them.”

The reporter asked: “I heard that Zhou Chen will get a maximum salary, will you match him in terms of the contract amount?”

Rondo’s market value is only about 40 million in 4 years, which is incomparable in this respect.

Hearing the contract comparison, Rondo said angrily: “Zhou’s value needs to be re-verified. If he can win the championship, it is really worth it, otherwise it is not worth it.”

Rondo has been with the Big Three for a long time, and the Big Three also won the championship under his command. The championship brought a kind of arrogance and confidence to Rondo.

Rondo doesn’t think personal stats are important, and if the point guard can’t win, then the best stats are useless.

Because of Rondo’s words.

The media continues to frantically hype the upcoming Heat-Celtics matchup.
