290: You call this the finals? (4.6K(2/3)
Each team will receive a bonus for entering the playoffs, a bonus for each round advanced, and a bonus for winning the championship. Of course, there are also bonuses for the runner-up.
If they win the championship this year, the Trail Blazers will probably receive a bonus of about US$1.6 million. Including bonuses from previous rounds, the amount may be as high as more than 2 million.
It's not too much to say too much, it's not too much to say too little.
That’s more than 2 million US dollars.
This bonus is generally used for several purposes:
Either the team eats it. For small teams, such as the Cavaliers, their owners may need this money to make up for one year's losses.
Either the players split it equally, or the players, staff and coaching staff split it equally on a pro-rata basis.
There are also more special ones, such as player voting, which determines each person's contribution to divide the amount of money.
For example, in the original history, Sun Yue, who was with the Lakers in 2009, was voted out. Although he had a championship ring, he did not receive a playoff bonus.
Of course, he really didn't contribute much in the playoffs. He didn't even have an appearance record, so it's really inappropriate to split money.
All in all, the distribution of this bonus is very, very flexible.
The league just distributes the money, you decide how to divide it among the teams.
Therefore, when Allen said that he would distribute all the money to the players and coaching staff, everyone's enthusiasm was undoubtedly mobilized again.
Is there anyone who thinks money is too much?
At this time, Wayne also stood up: "If I can win the championship, I will voluntarily divide all my bonuses equally among all the team's staff. This season, everyone's contribution is indispensable! So, come on, everyone.
Let's strive to win as soon as possible.
Let everyone get the bonus and have a happy holiday!”
"roar!"
Wayne's last words added fuel to Allen's fire and made everyone yell.
Look at this spirit of taking the overall situation into consideration and sacrificing oneself for others.
The light of socialism illuminates all of Portland.
So, when the players above came in to warm up, you could clearly feel the Cavaliers' uneasiness and the Trail Blazers' excitement.
Gilbert has definitely not mentioned bonus distribution yet. If you ask him to give all the one or two million to the players, he probably doesn't have the courage.
Before the game started, Wayne and Mouss hugged in the center circle.
At that moment, there were five cameras surrounding them.
Watching this scene, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen and other players who are no longer young but have never had a championship ring are extremely worried.
A new era has arrived, will I be eliminated by doing nothing?
Before the game started, ESPN played out the resumes of the two leading stars, Wayne and Mousse.
Mousse joined the industry in 2003 and is now in her fourth year.
Wayne joined the industry in 2004 and is in his third year, but he has already played in two finals.
"This is a very young finals," Mike Breen introduced before the game started.
For the Cavaliers, the starting lineup is not much different from before. It is still Hughes, Pavnovic, Mousse, Gooden and Big Z, plus there is a sixth man on the bench who suddenly broke out in the playoffs.
Gibson.
To be honest, this lineup is really inferior compared to the Lakers.
As for the Trail Blazers, they directly used Fred Jones as the starting point guard.
To put it bluntly, McMillan is confident of winning without even having to play the Big Five.
During the subsequent competition for the ball, my sister-in-law was stunned to experience the pleasure of crushing the opponent with a bounce on Big Z's head.
Wayne couldn't help but think, Big Z is like this, and Weber, who was beaten up by Big Z...
Weber: Have you said enough?
"Pau Gasol got the ball first for the Trail Blazers, easily."
After winning the basketball, dribbling guard Jones took the ball across half court and handed the ball to Wayne.
What a conscientious dribbling defender.
However, as soon as Wayne got the ball, the Portland fans at the scene cheered excitedly.
"It's interesting..." Wayne also smiled, because the Cavaliers chose to use Mousse to defend Wayne!
As soon as they came up, the two young cores started a duel!
"Coach Mike Brown chose to use LeBron to defend Wayne personally. I don't know if his arrangement will work."
Although Bread is indeed not very good offensively, people often make fun of his offensive tactics of giving the ball to Mousse with one move.
But this guy still has a good defense.
This season, the Cavaliers' defensive efficiency ranks fourth in the league.
But just like D'Antoni, bread is also very partial.
He is an excellent defensive coach. For example, he did a great job next to Carlisle in the Pacers.
But as a head coach, I have to say that there are great limitations.
Although McMillan's scheduling is not top-notch, at least he is not biased.
Wayne saw Mousse and remembered the regular season showdown.
So, without hesitation, he directly played Mousse behind the back.
Wayne suddenly turned around and retreated, and Mousse had no way to do anything about it.
Wayne made the ball easily and won the cheers of the audience.
"The MVP is very strong, and LeBron failed in his first defense. But I believe that Wei will not be so easy in the future!" After Mike Breen finished speaking, he couldn't listen anymore.
The truth is: Wayne could very well have been this relaxed the entire game!
Then, the Cavaliers attacked. Without thinking, the Trail Blazers shrank their formation and directly let Mousse shoot.
MacMillan's arrangement is similar to Carlisle's arrangement of Mousse in the original history in 11 years.
It's about giving in and not in sudden changes.
James lacks a shooting threat and a back-up threat. If his breakthrough is restricted, his lethality will decrease sharply.
Of course, Philip Sanders is not a fool either.
In the last round, he actually used this same move to defend Mousse, but Mousse had no choice but to break through the Pistons' iron barrel formation.
The little prince couldn't hold Mousse, and the inside Webber couldn't effectively protect the frame.
Moreover, Big Z and Gibson also stood up.
But the Trail Blazers are different. Wayne and Gasso are definitely enough to drink a pot of mousse.
The same tactics, executed by different people, have completely different effects.
This is why the NBA is a player-led league.
When Mousse burst in and faced the blocking of Wayne and Gasol, as well as the help of Parker and Uduka, he had no way to take action.
This is a direct four-person double team.
Finally, Mouss passed the ball to Hughes.
A ten-million-level warrior has no mercy and will hit the target with three-pointers as soon as he comes up.
Well, the hit rate is indeed very stable.
James was speechless. As soon as he came up, the four of them shrank. Are you guys like this?
I have to say that Mousse's personal abilities are indeed there.
Otherwise, extreme tactics such as four-person double-teaming would not be possible.
But then again, this tactic won't work as long as your long-range shot is accurate.
Therefore, success is also due to personal ability, and failure is also due to personal ability.
After the Blazers attacked, Wayne did not continue to bully Mousse, but lobbed the ball to his sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law singled out Big Z, slowly turned around to face the frame, made a triple threat step, and then accelerated!
Well, with one step, just one step, my sister-in-law broke through the big Z and successfully dunked.
In the last round against Yao Ming, although Chairman Yao was slow, he was not easily overtaken by his sister-in-law.
But this time, my sister-in-law really felt that she was invincible.
And Big Z also fell from the clouds to the ground. He played so well in the last round, which is really not a return to form.
It's purely because Weber is too weak.
Weber:......
To be continued...
