Detailed explanation: Comparison of the salary of James own team and the opponent s team in the ten finals. Winning the championship is purely due to salary crushing

Today's content was sent by the top brother of "Imagine and No Regret 0895". His question is very simple - what kind of card is James' six runner-ups in NBA history?

No, this big brother was brainwashed by Zhan Mi very thoroughly. What kind of cards can the runner-up be? It is not only in the NBA, but also in any competitive sports, the top cards compete for honors or historical status. Fireworks has never heard of the one who can bring the runner-up to the table. For example,

Question: Who has the higher historical status of Nash or Paul in the No. 1 position?

Analysis: Nash has two regular season MVPs, five assists, seven times into the best team, eight times in the All-Stars, while Paul has five assists, eleven times in the best team, twelve times in the All-Stars, and one runner-up...

In one vote of honor, does that 1 Asian look special Der...

Of course, in some occasions with a bit of bragging nature, such as interviews, self-introduction, blind dates, etc. , it is not impossible to take out the runner-up, second place, silver prize and other things, for example -

There is another point, I don’t know if the eldest brother is Zhan Mi or Zhan Hei. If it is Zhan Mi, this sentence should not be asked like this, but instead ask, "What kind of card is James' 10-point Finals in NBA history?" Look, if you ask another way of asking, do you feel that James is invincible in the instant?

In fact, whether a player, especially a top superstar, can enter the finals or even win the championship, is not only related to his performance during the season, but also an important reason, that is, the boss is reluctant to invest, and this is exactly what fans are most likely to ignore. Fans can only see superstars playing on TV. They are flying and hiding, and they are blocking and killing Buddhas. However, it is difficult to see clearly the important contributions made by the team management and the boss to the team.

Analysis of James's ten finals journeys, you will find a fact, that is, in seven of these ten finals, the salary of James' team is higher than that of the opponent, and in some years it has achieved the so-called pure salary crushing effect. In this article, let's analyze the NBA Finals from a different perspective, let's take a look at the salary comparison between James' ten finals journeys and the opponent's -

NO.1: The 2007 Finals, Cavaliers VS Spurs, 62.98 million VS 65.66 million

This is the first time James has entered the Finals. This year the Cavaliers have been able to reach the Finals, which is largely due to James' rookie bonus. James played as a top NBA star, but he only won the fourth-year contract of the rookie that year, with a salary of only 5.83 million, ranking fifth in the team after Larry Hughes, Big Z, Gooden and Eric Snow.

NO.2: In the 2011 Finals, the Heat vs. the Mavericks, 65.24 million VS 85.41 million

Heat is 20.17 million less than the Mavericks, accounting for about 34.7% of the salary cap that year. It seems a lot, but in fact, the situation this year is quite complicated. One is that the Heat have just formed the Big Three, and the team's salary has not yet expanded, and the salary cap is very strict. Although James, Wade and Bosh have all cut their salary, they still account for 74.5% of the salary cap. Except for Joel Anthony, Haslem and Mike Miller, the others are all basic salary.

As a traditional strong team in those years, the Mavericks had already risen. A bunch of veterans in the team were holding considerable contracts. Therefore, the Mavericks only looked weak that year, but in fact they were not weak at all. The role players completely beat the Heat's bench. Coupled with Nowitzki and Chandler's extraordinary performance, they finally defeated the Heat.

The second is that the Mavericks' main striker Caron Butler was reimbursed in the early season of the regular season, and the Mavericks had to apply for the league for "injury reimbursement clause". That is to say, when Butler was unable to play in the rest of the season, the Mavericks received an additional salary space that could be strengthened. This space is half of Butler's salary that year, or 5.28 million. The Mavericks used this injury clause to sign players from Ian Masinmi, Akinsa, and Pavlovic as a supplement.

In other words, the Mavericks' actual total salary in the finals was 80.13 million, but this value is still 14.89 million more than the Heat's total salary. At that time, it was equivalent to the Heat's one maximum salary missing.

NO.3 In the 2012 Finals, Heat VS Thunder, 74.11 million VS 61.84 million

The Heat salary in the second year has begun to initially expand. The team has also used various favorable terms to supplement Sean Bathir, James Jones, Juwan Howard and others. These people have played a certain role in the finals. The Thunder is still in the rookie bonus period, and several main players who have performed well are all holding cheap rookie contracts. For example, Westbrook only has 5.08 million, Harden has 4.6 million, Ibaka and Reggie Jackson have only 1.29 million and 1.16 million.

The Heat's salary is 12.27 million yuan higher than the Thunder, accounting for about 21.1% of the salary cap that year. This difference is equivalent to the Heat having an additional qualified All-Star Fringe Starter. In the end, the Heat also successfully won the championship. After James failed twice in the finals, he tasted the taste of the championship for the first time. However, because the salary gap between the two sides is huge, it is not an exaggeration to say that the champion is the Heat's salary crush..

NO.4 In the 2013 Finals, Heat VS Spurs, 81.78 million VS 69.81 million

The total salary of the Heat continued to expand this year, and the team's lineup added players such as Ray Allen, Chris Anderson, Rashad Lewis. Among them, Sean Bathir, who earned 3.14 million and Ray Allen, who earned 3.09 million, both played a key role in the finals. It can be said that it was not an exaggeration to directly save James' career.

The Spurs' lineup is getting older. The team's core Duncan is already 37 years old. His salary fell to less than 10 million for the first time after his rookie contract, only 9.64 million. The team also has a Martial Saint Jackson with a LJ contract of 10.06 million. The Spurs are not opponents of the Heat in terms of overall strength or salary composition.

Heat's total salary is 11.97 million US dollars higher than the Spurs, accounting for about 20.6% of the salary cap that year. This price is the same as last year, which is equivalent to the Heat's additional qualified starter. It can be said that this Heat's champion is also a purely salary crush.

NO.5 In the 2014 Finals, Heat VS Spurs, 85.43 million VS 64.63 million

The Heat's salary has expanded to the extreme this year, with an increase of 20.8 million {35.5% of the Spurs' salary cap that year. Looking at the entire league that year, this annual salary is second only to Kobe, Nothing King, Anthony, Sir Joe Johnson, and ranks sixth in the league! It is equivalent to the Heat having one more league super giant than the Spurs!

But in the end, the Heat lost. He had an absolute salary advantage, but he never crushed others, and even the mill was smashed. The finals were swept by the gentleman 1:4. I still can't figure out how the Heat lost to the Spurs in the 2014 Finals, and how could they lose so badly?

The top brother in the list may have to talk. The Heat lost a crushing defeat in the finals this year because Wade was injured. He played with injuries and performed poorly. He told me not to mention Wade played with injuries. Even if Wade didn't play in the finals, he would throw away the 18.67 million he received that year, then the Heat's salary was higher than that of the Spurs. Not to mention it, what if he stood on the same starting line?

Why does James have no superstar teammates (and there is also Bosh), and his salary is on par with the opponent, so he can't win the ball? What you call fairness means that I must be higher than you and must be taken care of, which is fairness?

Forget it, let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about it too much.

PS:

Let's count the five finals journeys in the first half of James' career. After counting, James' team's salary was 27.47 million yuan higher than the opponent during these five finals journeys. This value is definitely not low in the era when the salary cap was only 50 to 60 million yuan that year, but it turned out to be three losses in five games. Only by relying on two salary crushes with obvious advantages, he won two championships.

So what will happen to the next five finals tour? Let's continue to read.

NO.6 In the 2015 Finals, Cavaliers VS Warriors, 82.03 million VS 73.58 million

There may be a big brother in the list who can't understand. At that time, James returned to the Cavaliers in his first year, and his salary cap should be very strict. Why did the Cavaliers have 8.45 million more than the Warriors?

Because the Warriors had a lot of dividends at that time.

Curry was tragic when he first debuted and was often injured. He didn't have any great development prospects at that time. Therefore, in 2013, after Curry's rookie contract ended, the Warriors only offered Curry a four-year, 44 million yuan that later generations dubbed the "child labor contract". In 2015, it was in the second year of this child labor contract, with an annual salary of only 10.63 million yuan. On the other hand, the Warriors' absolute main players Clay and Zhumeng Green were also getting rookie contracts, with only 3.08 million and 920,000 yuan, so the salary of the whole team is relatively low.

Many people blame the Cavaliers' failure this year on the injuries of Love and Irving. As for the same sentence, why, without superstar teammates, you can't win the ball?

NO.7 In the 2016 finals, Cavaliers vs. Warriors, 105.97 million VS 93.71 million

The Cavaliers' salary has expanded rapidly this year, which has risen by 23%, up 12.26 million yuan higher than the Warriors!

The main reason for this is that the Eight Sage King Tristan Thompson's big contract was officially launched, with a salary of 14.26 million that year. What does this mean? In the 2016 NBA player salary list, the Eight Wise Kings ranked 39th, only 40,000 US dollars less than the Warriors' defensive gate Chasing Green, 450,000 US dollars less than the Kings' Core Test God, and 470,000 US dollars less than Irving!

In other words, the Cavaliers ranked in the top 40 in the league during the season! (James, Love, Irving and the Eight Sages).

Last year's contract year, the Eight Wizards averaged only 8.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. The agent Ricci Paul spoke out loudly and asked for a quasi-max salary contract. Such performance and such appetite, if it were normal, the Cavaliers in the small ball market would never leave him. However, under the coercion and temptation of James' younger brother Ricci Paul, and James played various support on social media, the Cavaliers still gritted their teeth and swallowed blood to give the Eight Wizards a super contract..

In view of the special circumstances of the Heat, only referring to the normality of the first three rings, can we think that if James wants to win the championship, the salary of his team must be at least 12 million yuan higher than the opponent. In other words, James + the double giants are not enough, and he also needs to have an additional qualified starting-level star so that James can win the championship?
