时间都去哪了

完成5队大互换后，骑士终于腾出手来和登哥敲定了续约。    "Given that energy is the lifeline of modern economies, modern economic growth patterns, there are not that many alternatives available and there are only a few countries that are players in the global energy market. Russia certainly cannot be counted out and Russia cannot be marginalized in the global energy landscape," says Harsh V. Pant, professor of international relations at the King's College London India Institute and director of the strategic studies program at the Observer Research Foundation.,International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol and US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on 12 July urged Indo-Pacific countries at the Sydney Energy Forum to diversify their supply chains for energy and critical minerals to reduce "dependency" on Russia over its special operation in Ukraine, as well as on China.,"At a time when the energy prices are going up and affecting some of the poorest and most vulnerable countries around the world very significantly, I think Asian countries will continue to cooperate with Russia in order to support their economies and their domestic requirements," says Pant.,He explains that dealing with Russia has become an economic imperative at a time of energy crunch given that Moscow is offering discounted oil to a number of countries. Furthermore, maintaining economic relations with Russia is a question of survival and the people's well-being for some Asian nations and countries of the Global South, according to the professor. Under these circumstances it's highly unlikely that they will succumb to the pressure from Washington and sever ties with Russia, he says.,"For political leaders across the world, at a time when economies are just beginning to grow after the long COVID pandemic, they can [not] afford a lack of energy and higher energy prices," Pant stresses.,Russia, Venezuela to Expand Oil Sector Cooperation, Working on Pact to Circumvent Western Sanctions4 July, 11:15 GMT,Anti-Russia Sanctions: India and EU Approaches,To illustrate his point, the professor cites India's approach to Russia's affairs and the Ukraine crisis. New Delhi continues to import energy from Russia despite the US and Europe urging India to join sweeping anti-Russia sanctions.,"What we have seen in the last two months is a gradual, significant increase in what India is buying from Russia when it comes to oil," the professor says. "This is particularly relevant again because Russia has offered India discounted oil and India's economic requirements demand that India continues buying this oil. The challenges facing India's population mean that the Indian leadership has an incentive in continuing to engage with Russia on this question.",At the same time, the European Union's decision to slap sanctions on Russia and slash energy supplies from the country have backfired on Europe's economy, sending fuel prices up and accelerating inflation.,"We have seen how Europe is struggling to reduce its dependence and the kind of costs that it is imposing on Europeans," says Pant. "Most Asian countries would be reluctant to go down that route.",Brussels: Anti-Russia Sanctions Raise Questions About Sustainability of EU's Financial Model 10 June, 08:44 GMT,The disruptions in the supply of crude after the imposition of ban on imports from Russia have given a dramatic boost to energy prices and inflation, echoes Suranjali Tandon, assistant professor at the Delhi-based National Institute of Public Finance and Policy.,"The current inflationary trends are the most serious challenge for policy makers," she says. "Central banks around the world have begun the process of unwinding loose monetary policy… The current inflation rates have led to internal economic strains and as seen in Sri Lanka, a political upheaval. The cooperation between Russia and Asian countries may be economically prudent.",Moreover, major Asian economies – India and China – are ready to absorb crude supplies from Russia rejected by the West, according to her.,At the same time, Washington's plan to force Asian states to join anti-Russia sanctions is fraught with severe risks for the global economy, Tandon warns.,"The ban, if carried out by other Asian economies, will further cut off supplies of refined petroleum and related products," she says. "This could lead to an unmanageable inflationary spiral while depressing global growth.",Lithium, Gold & Rare Earths: How China May Open the Door to New Business Opportunities for Afghans19 August 2021, 08:38 GMT,Are There Alternatives to Russia & China?,According to Tandon, India sets an important precedent for other Asian states by withstanding the US pressure when it comes to energy sanctions against Russia. By doing this, India is defending its internal interests in the first place, the professor underscores.,She hails the idea that single technology or fuel dependence should be avoided. This principle could be applied to Russia, China, or Western countries in a similar way. However, when the West is calling upon Asian nations to shift to wind, solar, and even nuclear power and abandon fossil fuels, it's clear that this shift cannot be done immediately, the professor emphasizes.,Even after the "green" transition, Asian states and the Global South are likely to maintain ties with Russia and China, who have been developing cutting-edge nuclear technologies and mining rare earths needed for producing electric batteries and electronic components.,"Russia's energy supplies will remain globally important," Tandon forecasts. "More importantly, even when this transition does take place the natural resources including minerals used as inputs in renewables will be concentrated in countries like China. China produces 63% of the world’s rare earth elements, including 45% of molybdenum as per IEA, so it's unclear what countries must do to expand alternatives while being under pressure to transition quickly."。双方达成的是一份3年9700万的全额保障续约合同，其中包含15%的交易保证金以及第三年的球员选项，签字画押后登哥将把职业生涯干到第20个赛季...新合同细节如下：26~27赛季3080万；27~28赛季3230万；28~29赛季3400万（球员选项）。这份续约合同也让登哥刷新了两项记录：①生涯总薪资达到5.11亿，成为NBA历史上第四位突破5亿美元大关的球员，前三位分别是阿king、杜小帅和萌神；②下周三（8月26日）迎来37岁生日后，成为联盟历史上第二位在37岁或以上年龄签下超过9000万全额保障合同的球员，另一位是阿king。在这个年纪还能续上近1亿的合同，除了上赛季表现可圈可点外，还有骑士管理层的信任。登哥上赛季出战26场常规赛，场均输出20.5分4.8板7.7助，投篮命中率46.6%；18场季后赛则场均入账19.2分5.1板5.5助1.7断，投篮命中率41%，并且帮助骑士时隔8年再度打进东决；这也是1993年以来，骑士头一回在没有阿king的情况下摸到东决的地板。而骑士管理层一方面也相信以登哥的经验还能在未来率队更上一层楼；另一方面心里也门儿清，小球市争冠窗口不多，现阶段只能拿登哥+米球这套后场双星赌一把了。不过话说回来，如果登哥这些年不一门心思追逐冠军，收入恐怕远不止这个数，为了奥布莱恩杯，他一路漂泊连签了好几份降薪短约，过去的四份合同具体如下：2022年7月27日：与76人签下2年6860万；2024年7月9日：与快船签下2年7000万美元合同（含球员选项）；2025年7月6日：与快船签下2年8150万美元合同（含球员选项）；今天与骑士续签3年9700万美元合同（含球员选项）。尽管如此，很多人可能仍觉得最后这份9700万短约签得不值得，属实溢价；但换个角度想，要不是登哥予以高度配合，也不会有延迟续约争取阿king以及后续转头拿下沃特森这种侧翼优质即战力的后话了。所以这笔买卖说到底就是四个字：互相成就。登哥为引援让路让到了极致，骑士则把最大的尊重反馈在了合同上~骑士今夏的引援大概率也结束了。不到一年时间，他们把米切尔+莫布利+阿伦之外的两个位置从加兰&亨特升级为登哥&沃特森，你们觉得这套阵容能在东部走多远呢？
