NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 200 All members of the Kings team will fight for another year

There haven't been any major personnel changes within the Kings' lineup.

Having just won the championship, everyone from the team management to the players themselves, including external fans, all hope that the Kings will maintain their lineup and compete for the championship again next year.

Kings personnel basically do not need to re-sign contracts.

Turkoglu is still on a rookie contract. As long as the Kings don't trade him out, he will stay on the team.

Divac, Webber, Stojakovic, Christie and Bobby Jackson were not in contract years last year. They just need to continue to fulfill their contracts this season.

These players all played for their worth last season, but they are all under contract and there is nothing that needs to be renewed.

The most profitable one is of course Lu Yuanzhi's 1+1 contract. Last year, he signed with a base salary of 30 yuan. This year it is a team option. As long as he is willing to increase his salary by 20%, Lu Yuanzhi can't go anywhere.

Signing the team's third scorer for 36 yuan, where can you find such a good thing?
Isn't this more cost-effective than Schroeder, who earned a basic salary with the Lakers and won the MVP in the Men's Basketball World Cup?
As for the Kings' proposal to renew the contract for four years with a mid-level contract, Lu Yuanzhi instructed his agent team to wait.

No hurries.

There is still one year to play. Lu Yuanzhi can continue to gain points and strengthen his own strength. Why is he so anxious to sell himself at a low price?

Middle?

Is it too low?

As a "plug-in" who is improving every day, it would be too embarrassing for the system if the second contract is still in the middle class.

Anyway, in the previous playoffs, Lu Yuanzhi performed at a star level. This season, it is obvious to the naked eye that he can reach a higher level.

Therefore, the negotiations between the Kings and Lu Yuanzhi reached a deadlock.

However, the Kings are not in a hurry. Isn’t there still another year?

If Lu Yuanzhi continues to perform miraculously this year, they will have enough time to renew his contract.

If Lu Yuanzhi is just a flash in the pan, they can also lower the price or even give up on Lu Yuanzhi.

In terms of talent, this Kings team has no shortage of talent.

They just need to exchange talented players!

The only player the Kings need to re-sign is Mike Bibby.

Bibby was in the last year of his contract last year, but the Kings management has been dragging his feet on renewing the contract, hoping to "check out the goods" before signing in the playoffs.

This procrastination created a problem.

Bibby had an eye-catching performance in the playoffs. After Stojakovic was injured, he successfully became the Kings' second scorer. Before the finals, he averaged 20.3 points per game, which was nearly 13.7 points higher than the 7 points in the regular season. , fully demonstrated what a "big heart" player is.

Therefore, Bibby's agent team is also seeking a higher contract extension.

At the beginning, Bibby's team wanted to seek a seven-year contract worth 7 million yuan, so that Bibby could become "Mr. Billion Dollar."

But in the finals, being beaten by Kidd undoubtedly made Bibby's team very passive.

To make matters worse, in the 02-03 season, the NBA's salary cap fell instead of rising, which also greatly reduced the final contract amount.

Finally, Bibby signed a seven-year, 7 million contract with the Kings. The annual salary for the 8400-02 season was 03 million, 850 million more than Nash of the Mavericks, 300 more than Stockton of the Jazz, and only better than the best. point guard Jason Kidd is $70 less.

After settling Bibby's contract extension, the Kings have roughly maintained their original starting lineup and main rotation lineup. As for other water cooler managers, they have made insignificant adjustments.

During the playoffs, Daba, who was called by Lu Yuanzhi to help, failed to sign with the Kings. However, Popovich, who had a good eye, discovered the big man sitting on the bench of the Kings and invited him to San Antonio for a trial training. Currently, Judging from the news, the Spurs are very satisfied with Bus and are ready to give him a salary that exceeds Lu Yuanzhi.

Well, based on what Daba said on the phone, he would probably get 1.5 Lu Yuanzhi!

Salary of 50-60.

Go to the damn 1.5 land!
Lu Yuanzhi could imagine how Bus was laughing on the other end of the phone.

When will I become a unit of measurement?

Isn't that Mr. Pi's business?
By the way, 1 skin = 6 land?
Damn it, I’m actually 1/6 skinned?
The Kings actually want to lower the price. Your price pressure to lower Bibby last season went wrong. Why don't you learn some lessons this season?

Forget it, forget it, let’s continue the special training.

Under Micah's training, it was only the beginning of September, and Lu Yuanzhi's dribbling had improved by leaps and bounds.Dribbling ability, 9 points.

Dribbling under confrontation, 20 points.

Yes, because Micah's training plan itself places great emphasis on actual combat. While his dribbling ability improves, his counter-dribble resistance also improves.

Of course, in Micah's view, Lu Yuanzhi's progress is relatively slow. You never see that Kobe can come up with a new stunt every offseason, a new stunt every year.

This year it’s a post-up game, next year it’s a dream dance move.

In comparison, Lu Yuanzhi's offseason is almost halfway through, and the skill of dribbling has not yet been used on the court.

No matter it's 1 o'clock or 30 o'clock or 50 o'clock, as long as you dare to dribble on the court, are you afraid that you will get the nickname "Sacramento Irving"?

Oh, there was no Irving at this time, so it was called "Sacramento Iverson"?
In mid-August, Lu Yuanzhi's summer training had to be interrupted.

Because Micah can't take it anymore!

"You are such a training freak!"

"As the season progresses, you have to train between games."

"Okay, you are in good health and you are not afraid of getting hurt. I have nothing to say."

"But you're still practicing during the offseason, and you're practicing non-stop, so you don't need a break?"

"During the season, you fly in the sky every day. After the intensive regular season and the playoffs, you start training after the playoffs!"

"You don't have any personal entertainment? Don't you need a rest?"

"You don't want to rest, I want to rest! I can't stand it anymore!"

Seeing Micah's sudden outburst, Lu Yuanzhi was completely confused.

what's the situation?
Is the trainer going to be lazy?
How can this be good?

I'm just working hard, why can't you stand it as a trainer?

How to do?
Hurry, wait online!
Finally, Lu Yuanzhi and Micah chatted for a while, and finally decided that the two of them would go to Las Vegas together for a few days, and then Micah would go home to reunite with his family for a few days.

The next phase of training will begin in two weeks.

Finally having some rest, Micah was in a much better mood.

This season, he was hired by Lu Yuanzhi and finally no longer had to wander around Europe to play football. In fact, he was quite grateful to Lu Yuanzhi.

And because of his height, he couldn't get a decent salary in Europe.

It's better to be Lu Yuanzhi's trainer.

Moreover, Lu Yuanzhi's rapid technological advancement this year, coupled with his status as the trainer of the championship team Kings, also successfully attracted a lot of attention to Micah.

There are constant calls for business cooperation.

Micah had his own ideas. He wanted to open his own studio.

It is impossible to work part-time!
Lu Yuanzhi also promised that if Micah wanted to open his own studio, he would be willing to invest.

Although it is said to be a studio now, it only has a few assistant coaches, and its only clients are the Kings and Lu Yuanzhi.

The next step is to really have a big fight!

People can be recruited and money is available.

Micah knows that although Lu Yuanzhi's current salary is not high, his commercial value in China is huge. His current commercial endorsements are already in the millions, and this value will continue to grow as Lu Yuanzhi wins the championship with the Kings and his own strength. .

Big dog!
Micah knew that Lu Yuanzhi could definitely afford the money.

I went home this time because I wanted to discuss with my family what to do next.
