On August 5th, Beijing time, it was the first day Anthony Davis was eligible to renew his contract in advance. The Lakers quickly offered a three-year maximum salary of $186 million, and Davis readily agreed. In this way, the 30-year-old Davis’ contract with the Lakers was extended to five years, with a total value of $270.5 million.

This renewal ensures that thick eyebrows will play for the Lakers until 2028. After James retires or joins another team, Davis will become a new leader, and his three-year contract renewal will start from the 2025-26 season, with an average annual salary of $62 million, setting a new record for the NBA’s average annual salary.

This is a win-win contract.

Buha, the Lakers’ record, said that this is a win-win contract for the Lakers and Davis. The Lakers have ensured the stability in the next five years, and there is no need to worry that James will retire and Davis will jump out of the contract next summer, leaving them facing the disaster of the free agent market. At the same time, Davis also got a long-term contract guarantee. After all, if he didn’t renew his contract in advance and suffered serious injuries in the new season, it would be difficult for him to sign such a good contract.

This is the second time Davis has renewed his contract with the Lakers. After winning the championship in 2020, Davis signed a new contract with the Lakers for five years and 190 million dollars. At that time, Davis chose a long-term contract, but at that time, Davis waited for more than a week to complete the signing. This time, the two sides only reached an agreement in just a few hours.

This signing can be regarded as a victory for the Lakers. If Davis refuses the player option and jumps out of the contract to sign, the Lakers will spend more money.

If Davis didn’t renew his contract in advance, but waited until he became a free agent, he would be eligible to sign a contract of $304 million, which is $344 million in six years, including the new season, instead of $270.5 million in five years. There is a one-year difference of 70 million between the two. The Lakers renewed their contract in advance, and the final salary paid was lower than his top salary in the 2024-25 season, and the risk in the later period of the contract was reduced.

Thick eyebrows were very dominant last season.

Last season, Davis re-entered the top ten players in the league, averaging 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.0 blocks in 56 games. His shooting percentage (56.3%) and real shooting percentage (62.7%) both reached career highs.

At the beginning of the season, there were signs that the Lakers were handing over the offense, or more broadly, the team to Davis. However, a complicated foot injury in mid-December made him miss 20 games in a row, and his offensive performance was also affected by the injury (28.1 points per game before the injury and 24.7 points per game after the injury). Nevertheless, after James tore his tendon in February, Davis tried to return as soon as possible and help the Lakers move on.

Davis in the playoffs, both offensive and defensive ends are dominant. In 16 games, he averaged 22.6 points, 14.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.1 blocked shots, among which both rebounds and blocked shots ranked first in the league. In the first two rounds, Davis was the best defender in the league, but in the Western Conference finals, he was offset by Jokic’s offensive talent, but in four defeats, he still averaged 26.8 points, 14 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.8 blocks.

More importantly, thick eyebrows played 47 of the Lakers’ last 50 games, including 26 consecutive games, which is his new record since the 2016-17 season.

There are two major risks in renewing contracts.

Buha pointed out that this contract renewal is not without obvious defects for the Lakers. The first risk is Davis’ injury history, and it has a long history. This is worrying for a player who will turn 35 at the end of his contract. There is enough evidence that he misses at least 15-20 games every season, while he has missed at least 26 games in the Lakers for three consecutive seasons, including at least 36 games in two seasons. Since the 2016-17 season, he has never played at least 65 games in a season.

The Lakers may find a way to manage his load, reduce his playing time, or let him play only one game back to back when he is in his thirties.

Another less discussed risk is the sharp decline of Davis’ outside projection ability. An important reason why the Lakers can win the championship in 2019-20 season lies in Davis’ impressive jump shot ability. In the second game of the Western Conference in 2020, his winning three points helped the Lakers beat the Nuggets.

However, since then, Davis’ jump shot percentage has been declining, especially the three-pointer percentage. From the data point of view, the number of three-point shots of Thick Eyebrows in these four seasons is decreasing, from 3.5 three-point shots per game in 2019-20 season to 2.8 in 2020-21 season, only 1.8 in 2021-22 season, and only 1.3 last season. The more inaccurate he is, the more afraid he is to shoot. During his time with the Lakers, Thick Eyebrows shot only 28.1% from three points, compared with 25.7% last season.

Poor shooting brings the problem of unstable attack with heavy eyebrows. This is also reflected in his performance in the playoffs is always ups and downs, sometimes good and sometimes bad. In the 2023 playoffs, his average score was only 22.6 points, which was 3.3 points lower than his average score in the career playoffs.

The Lakers will rely on him to recruit stars in the future.

Although it is risky to renew the contract, the Lakers have to do so because they can’t find a new superstar. Before James signed in 2018, the Lakers were trying to find a successor to Kobe. It was the signing of James that successfully attracted Davis.

Next, Davis will play the role of James to help the Lakers attract new stars to vote. When Davis is healthy, the upper limit of the Lakers is very high. They are one of the best teams in the league and have the ability to compete for the championship.

Looking forward to the future, Davis will be the pillar recommended by the Lakers to other future superstar partners. Brother Alphabet, Tatum and Mitchell may all become free agents in 2025 if they refuse the player option. At that time, Davis will be 32 years old. Although his status may have declined, he will still be an elite force at both ends of the offense and defense. If the Lakers can successfully attract another superstar to join them, their prospects will undoubtedly be bright.

Of course, for thick eyebrows, his fruitful cooperation with the Lakers will also lay his future position in this team. At least, there is no problem for his No.3 jersey to retire here.

This offseason, Austin Reeves and the Lakers reached a new contract of $56 million for four years. At that time, the whole league was surprised. Many people didn’t understand why Reeves accepted such a low price to return to the team. Even many managers in the Lakers believe that Reeves will not come back. The Lakers really couldn’t offer Reeves a big contract, but in the end, when Pelinka finished signing Reeves, the public screen was covered with amazing barrage.

Earlier, it was reported that the Rockets gave Reeves 80 million yuan for four years, but he still chose to return to the Lakers. But today, it was revealed that the contract given by the rocket was not 80 million yuan, but as high as 100 million yuan in four years. ESPN reporter Tim MacMahon reported that the Rockets had focused on Reeves before choosing Van Jordan, and their plan had already given an offer of $100 million for four years. But in the end, the Rockets chose to retreat after much consideration. They didn’t think Reeves was expensive, but simply thought that the Lakers would match this offer. They had no reason to let Reeves go.

The Rockets didn’t want to waste time on a player with a high probability of returning to the Lakers, so they focused on Van Jordan. Tim MacMahon finally even bluntly said that if the Rockets offered Reeves an offer and the Lakers didn’t choose to match, then the Rockets wouldn’t get Van Jordan. They will take Reeves as the team leader, then pursue Tommy Tam and increase the contract offer for Daluo.

Unfortunately, in the face of the privilege given by the Rockets, Reeves did not take active actions to convince the Rockets to make an offer in the end. He chose to interrupt contact and actively communicate with the Lakers. According to the Arenas rule, the Lakers can only give the draft Reeves a maximum of $56 million for four years, and Reeves can get an offer of more than 100 million for four years in the free market, but there is an additional clause, that is, once Reeves gets an offer of more than 100 million for four years from other teams, the Lakers can ignore the rules and have the right to match.

In theory, if Reeves wants to maximize the benefits, he can use the rocket to raise the price and let them report 100 million yuan for four years. Whether the Lakers choose to match or not, Reeves can be invincible and secure $100 million, but he gave up this right. We can only say that Reeves absolutely loves the Lakers. He likes to play with LeBron James, and he hopes to finish the empty catch with thick eyebrows. From a practical point of view, joining the Rockets is really attractive.

Reeves’ foul-making ability in the Lakers is called Little Harden. The reconstructed rocket needs a young potential star who can lead the team. Reeves’ offensive and defensive performance is also extremely brave. Such a player is a perfect candidate for the Rockets to build the Uduka system. Reeves averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3.4 assists in the regular season last season, with a shooting percentage of 52.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 40%. Reeves by going up one flight of stairs averaged 16.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists in the playoffs, among which his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 44.3%.

It is worth mentioning that in the last 11 games of Reeves’ regular season, he averaged 19.8 points, 6.1 assists and helped the Lakers play 9-2. Without Reeves’ superb performance, the Lakers might not even be in the seventh place in the West. It is interesting that Reeves is strong when he is strong, not just in the face of warriors. Reeves is the only player in the Lakers team who still has a significant improvement in data shooting percentage in the series of the Western Conference finals against the Nuggets. He averaged 21.3 points and 5.3 assists in 39.8 minutes, shooting 54.9% from the field and shooting 56% from three points. As a draft in 2021, Reeves took a two-way contract and got 56 million yuan for four years, which is a counterattack. Such a player who came from the bottom, leaving his four-year $100 million behind, drastically reduced his salary by 44 million, which is very difficult for most people. This is too difficult.

Why did Jordan and James have different results when they also complained to the referee?

This question is very interesting. This includes two aspects: spiritual and external performance. First, mentally, Jordan respects basketball, so he is upright and arrogant in his heart when playing. Mr. Murong focuses on profit, and his sense of superiority comes from profit. Even if he gains unjustly, people like Zhai Tianlin are indulged by the referee, and he also intends to use it himself, even at the expense of bowing down to all directions.

Second, whether the double standard how external performance? Jamie’s logic is: you say James walks, then Jordan can’t walk once, you say James stands, then Jordan can’t stand once. How generous are you to yourself and strict with the law? Therefore, Jamie’s performance focuses on profit, which is the same as Zhan’s spiritual core. Isn’t this interesting?

Jordan didn’t stand up a few times in his life, and James did it all the time. Jordan spread his hand and scored six three-pointers at half-time in the finals, with his hands spread out, invincible and helpless. And my impression is that Jordan questioned the referee’s penalty, which is just a few words, without pestering or begging humbly, and finally responded with action. If there had been any weak behavior at that time, it would have become a big news. You know, in the last three companies, Jordan has become the public enemy of the league, and young elites want to ignore Jordan’s position.

Jordan is good at physical confrontation, and he doesn’t have any bad moves, especially diving and padding. Then the referee will respond naturally when he stands up, and most of his hands are self-satisfied, so I can’t help it. James has been diving, padding and walking for 20 years, which can be said to be the worst type in the top 10 in history. It is naturally another result that he is so weak! Be strict with others, be lenient with yourself, and naturally be laughed at.

Jordan didn’t play basketball at his peak, he didn’t take his talent anywhere at his peak, and he didn’t take the initiative to hug his thighs at his peak. The only thing he did was that he was bored at his peak and retired to play baseball, and then the NBA cried and begged him to come back. So don’t make excuses, why do different players have different understandings of the same thing, blame the referee? Strange fans? It depends on a player’s long-standing impression, so don’t push your problems out.

And it doesn’t matter how many points you score, it mainly depends on how much role you play on the team. Like last season’s regular season, you hold a lot of ball rights and don’t retreat. Such scores are meaningless. And LeBron’s defensive ability is not a problem at all. His size and strength determine that he will be an excellent defender if he wants to defend. The problem is that his defensive attitude is really not good, especially when he is old.

Live on August 5th, China beat Cape Verde 86-66 in the Italian Trentino Cup (warm-up match). After the game, China men’s basketball coach Jorjevich accepted an interview with the media.

Qiao Shuai said: "The opponents are in good health. They have the most dominant center in Europe, tavares. In the last three or four years, he has been very dominant. We have done a good job in defense. We are moving forward according to our own plan, and we want to become better. This is the best we can do now, and we will wait and see tomorrow. "

At 2: 30am on August 6th, the final of the Trentino Cup warm-up match will be played between the China men’s basketball team and the Italian men’s basketball team.

From the evening of May 20th to the early morning of 21st, Beijing time, the five major leagues in Europe launched the latest round of competition. Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Barcelona and Milan joined forces to attack, and the result was naturally mixed. Arsenal upset Manchester City to defend the Premier League title ahead of schedule; Liverpool struggled to get 1 point and basically bid farewell to the Champions League; Bayern lost the first place in the league.

Liverpool 1: 1 Villa

Recently, Liverpool has won seven consecutive victories in the league and continued to retain the hope of competing for the Champions League seat. However, in this round, Liverpool was stubbornly attacked by Villa who also competed for the European seat. Konate sent a penalty in the first half, but Watkins missed the penalty directly, but in the 27th minute, Liverpool still lost the ball, Douglas-Lewis crossed the right rib, and Ramsey pushed the ball from the back of the penalty area to break the deadlock. The backward Liverpool immediately counterattacked, but there was no bright spot on the offensive end. In the second half, klopp directly changed into jota and firmino, thus changing into four strikers.

In the 89th minute, Uncle Zha’s change of array finally paid off. Elliot divided the ball to the right, Salah crossed the outside instep, and firmino hit the front point successfully, 1: 1! It is worth mentioning that this is firmino’s farewell game at Anfield, and he will officially leave Liverpool at the end of the season. The Red Army, which scored only one point, has a high probability of missing the Champions League next season, and Manchester United and Newcastle only need one point to completely lock in the top four.

Bournemouth 0-1 Manchester United

Liverpool struggled to draw with Villa, which made Manchester United see the opportunity. Against Bournemouth, who had already relegated ahead of schedule, the Red Devils successfully scored 3 points. In the 9th minute of the first half, Eriksson picked the ball from the left to the restricted area, and Seneximen’s error in clearance turned into an own goal. casemiro then inserted a golden hook that turned around at close range to meet the ball and scored the only goal in the whole game. Manchester United, which has scored 3 points, has tied the third Newcastle, and at the same time, it is one more round than Liverpool. As long as the remaining two rounds score 1 point, Manchester United can return to the Champions League.

Nottingham Forest 1: 0 Arsenal

After losing to Brighton in the last round, it is difficult for Arsenal to continue to pose a threat to Manchester City. Even if they lose to Nottingham Forest in this round, Manchester City will win the championship three rounds ahead of schedule. As the saying goes, when facing the forest, the gunman was in no state in the whole game. Arteta changed into three defenders, which directly led to no threat on the offensive end, and the defense was also full of loopholes. In the 19th minute, Odegard made a mistake in the frontcourt return, Gibbs White successfully broke the ball and pushed forward the counter-attack direct pass on the spot. Avonii grabbed the shot into the net before Ramsdale attacked and scored the only goal in the whole game.

Due to the failure to score 3 points, the Gunners were still 4 points behind Manchester City in two rounds. For this reason, the Blue Moon locked the Premier League title three rounds ahead of schedule before playing this round. This is Guardiola’s third consecutive championship in the Premier League and the fifth time that the Blue Moon won the championship in six years.

Bayern 1: 3 Leipzig Red Bull

As the defending champions of the League, Bayern’s situation is much worse than that of Manchester City. In the past, the Bundesliga champion in every year was basically Bayern’s bag. However, Nandawang’s state fluctuated this season, and the introduction of new aid such as Mane failed to integrate into the team. It was even more controversial to dismiss nagel Mann, and tuchel failed to improve Bayern’s state in time after taking office. In this round, against Red Bull Leipzig, which is aiming for the Champions League seat, Bayern took the lead in the first half by Gnabry, and the situation changed suddenly in the second half. Bayern lost three goals in a bizarre crash in 20 minutes. First, Lemor pushed and shot to equalize the score, pawar and Mazravi sent out penalty gifts one after another, Nkunku and Szoboszlai took penalty kicks respectively, and Bayern suffered a 1-3 reversal and lost. As long as Dortmund takes all 3 points in this round, Bayern will hand over the first position in the league.

AC Milan 5:1 Sampdoria

Bayern still has a glimmer of hope for the title. Milan, as the defending champion of Serie A, withdrew from the title race early, and may not even participate in the Champions League next season. The Rossoneri recently suffered a four-game losing streak and suffered a direct double-line rout. They not only handed over the initiative to compete for the title, but also were eliminated by Inter Milan in the semi-final of the Champions League. In this round, facing the demoted Sampdoria, the Mariners unfortunately became the vent. In the first half, Leo took the lead in breaking the deadlock and Quagliarella equalized the score. In the 23rd minute, Diaz sent an assist again, and Gill headed the ball beyond the score again. Six minutes later, Leo made another penalty, and Gill scored twice.

In the second half, Tonali assisted Diaz to add icing on the cake, and Leo sent an assist to help Gill complete a hat trick. This is the first time in Milan’s two seasons that a player has scored three goals in a single game. Milando, which scored 3 points, was 1 point behind Lazio, which ranked fourth in the first round. If you want to be in the top four, you need the Biancocelesti to continue to lose points.

Barcelona 1:2 Royal Society

Barcelona, who just won the championship in the last round, returned to the home court to face the Royal Society. Unexpectedly, it was smashed by the "social brother". Only 5 minutes after the opening, Comte was accidentally intercepted with the ball in the backcourt. Sollott stole the ball and then pushed back and made a selfless cross into the restricted area. merino pushed and broke the deadlock without being watched. In the 72nd minute of the second half, De Jong’s frontcourt holding organization was also intercepted. Kubo Jianying held the ball on the spot to push the counter-attack, Su Weimendi hit the middle, and Sollott faced the attacking Ter stegen with one hand and easily pushed to expand his advantage. In the 90th minute, Phelan Torres got rid of the right and sent a cross. Levan headed back a city, but it could not save Barcelona’s defeat. In the end, Barcelona lost 1-2 at home, and the unbeaten gold body of the season league was broken.

According to Marca, kimmich is willing to join Barcelona, and the Rossoneri appreciate the German midfielder very much, but the deal will be very complicated.

After busquets announced that he would leave the team this summer, Barcelona urgently needed to find a No.6 player. Zubimendi, Amrabat and Ruben neves were all players who had an affair with Barcelona, and kimmich became the latest one. For Barcelona, kimmich is an expensive player. No matter in Bayern or the German national team, kimmich is an out-and-out main force. In addition, his contract with Bayern expires in two years. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for Barcelona to get kimmich, and Bayern will not be willing to let him go. Moreover, even if the Bundesliga giants are willing to release him, his worth will not be less than 60 million euros.

Barcelona cannot pay such a high transfer fee. Even if kimmich’s transfer fee is amortized during the contract period, the annual cost will far exceed 20 million euros. In addition, Arsenal and Liverpool are also interested in kimmich, which is another obstacle for Barcelona.

(Erguai)

Live on May 21st According to The Times, Gundogan will refuse Barcelona and choose to renew his contract and stay in Manchester City.

Gundogan’s contract with Manchester City will expire this summer, and it has not yet been renewed. After media rumors, Barcelona intends to exempt the German midfielder from visa, and players are also interested in joining.

According to The Times, Barcelona offered a 2+1 contract for 32-year-old Gundogan, and several rounds of negotiations have been held.

At first, Manchester City only offered Gundogan a one-year contract, but now they are willing to offer a longer-term contract, so Gundogan now prefers to stay in Manchester City.
