In fact, if you say you care about the millions of dollars, Stephen cares, or if you say you don’t care, it’s just that. Stephen’s main dissatisfaction is that with his own ability, why not give himself a maximum salary.

Salary represents the recognition of ability, and also represents the importance of the team. No matter how you explain it or what reason you use, if you don’t want to take the money, that’s enough. Value what I do on the court.

Whether it's statistics, ability or effort on the court, Stephen thinks that he is impeccable, and he has never violated the coach's orders, although he does not understand many orders.

When I was on the court, I always exerted as much force as I could. I didn't think about being lazy or protecting my body, not to mention my training attitude, so why didn't I deserve a maximum salary.

This is what annoys Stephen the most. Although Stephen has the heart to leave the Spurs, he is not so strong. He is very happy here, his parents have moved here, and the atmosphere of the team is also very harmonious. Not so much Intrigue.

Although everyone has a conflict over the right to shoot, they each go based on their strength. No one uses any tricks. In terms of the atmosphere in the locker room, although the Spurs may not be the best, they are also the best in the league.

As for the positioning of the team, Stephen feels that everything depends on strength. As long as he has the corresponding strength, the status of the team will naturally come. , It is very bad to send people up, not to mention that ** Weiqi is a victoryist from the bottom of his heart.

When the team cannot do without him, he is naturally the leader of the team, and naturally he will not worry about the coach not arranging playing time. As for competing with Duncan for the position of team leader, Stephen does not have that urgent need yet.

One is that there is no conflict between the two in terms of positions, and the other is that Stephen doesn’t think it’s good to be the boss of the team for the time being. He has to take care of the new teammates, be responsible for communicating with the coach, and maintain an unbiased attitude in the locker room. oriented attitude.

And Stephen also knows a truth, that is, a good guy with three gangs, and few good teammates, why should he win the game, why should he fight for the championship, teammates like Duncan are not so easy to find.

Now there are only three or five top inside players in the league. Although Duncan is a bit old and has gone downhill from the statistics, this is not just right. After he grows up, he will just attack the old and the new. .

If Stephen hadn't thought about it too much at the end of the regular season, the team just needs to give themselves a decent contract, not to mention the same maximum salary as Duncan, just like Ginobili and the others.

But after the baptism of the playoffs and the brutal finals, Stephen has a clearer understanding of his own strength and has higher expectations for his future.

During the negotiation, the Spurs did not give him the corresponding treatment. It can be seen from the contract that the Spurs offered. Although it was only a difference of more than 200 million, it showed that the Spurs did not keep Stephen at all costs. determination.

Switching to other players, as soon as negotiations started, the team offered a contract that represented the greatest sincerity early on, waiting for the players to sign, but as for Stephen, he has been waiting for almost a month in the United States, and the team There was no movement, and then Stephen ran away for more than a month. After Stephen came back, the team notified the start of negotiations.

From this point, it can be seen that the team's hesitation came, and then it came again during the negotiation, which naturally annoyed Stephen even more, so naturally, he didn't listen to **Vich's persuasion.

"Stephen, you also know the current situation of the team. Who told us to have a poor owner? Mr. Holt has not taken money from the team. Similarly, we cannot ask him to take money in, so the luxury tax It's a high-voltage line that we can't touch."

**Weiqi looked at Stephen's face after finishing speaking, and seeing that Stephen was unmoved, there was nothing he could do, so he just continued: "The first two seasons are easy to say, but in the third season, it will be the season from 4000 to 5000 At that time, the contracts of Tim and Tony were just in their final year. Adding them together was more than [-] million yuan. If you added your contract, it was more than [-] million yuan.

According to the growth of the league's salary cap in the past two years, it will definitely exceed the salary cap. The team can't just rely on you four. The reason why we give you a salary of 950 million is based on our calculations. This is already within the luxury tax Under normal circumstances, the team can give you the highest salary. In the [-]-[-] season, after the contracts of the three of them expire, the salaries will drop, and there will naturally be more room, so the team will also give you the maximum salary. .

In this way, our team can maintain a competitive lineup for a long time and stay in the championship group. The honor of the team does not conflict with the honor of individuals. Seeing you get the most valuable player in the finals is an example. "

During the discussions between Vicki and Holt, Stephen happened to take over the position of team leader at that time. The three of them, Duncan and Parker, persuaded whoever was in a bad state to cut their salary.

And in these three seasons, the team still uses the current hybrid style of play. Of course, all of this must be based on the premise that Stephen agrees to this contract. If Stephen refuses to agree to sign this contract, Then they have to decide whether to trade Stephen or Ginobili.

When the negotiations were at an impasse, **Vich stood up and decided to communicate with Stephen in person, persuading him to agree to the contract. Of course, he also knew that Stephen was not those stupid young men, so the words of those fools I didn't say much, just talked about the current situation of the team, and at the same time introduced the team's long-term plan, to see if it can impress Stephen.

"Coach **, I understand what you said, but I believe that if the team really wants to keep me, they will definitely offer a more sincere contract, and I believe that my contribution will definitely exceed this contract." The value of the contract, the team will definitely not suffer, and if the team does not show the greatest sincerity, then it is meaningless to say more." Stephen was so easy to impress, so naturally he refused directly.

"However, I think there will be a better solution to these things, or leave it to those more professional people. Now I am just a player and you are just a coach. We are just a very casual conversation, aren't we?" Stephen didn't say anything dead, but made another detour.

"Yes, this is just an ordinary drunken conversation. Those things should be left to the people who should do the job. After all, they got the salary and they have to do the job, and no one pays us double salary. After finishing speaking, **Vich raised his glass to Stephen and drank it down in one gulp.

Although the two parties spoke very peacefully, it means that the communication has not achieved any effect. After drinking, Stephen got up and left, and **Vich did not hold back any more. Watching Stephen leave, **Vi Qi had a pained expression on his face.
