After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 218 217: Can that man still help the team?How much is Shay worth?

Barkley joined the Phoenix Suns, and the transfer market had just opened, and he was directly detonated by this news.

The operation of the Suns signing Barkley also made them change from a bad team to the most competitive team in the Western Conference.

The Lakers seemed to be kicked out of the ranks of the championship team by the media.

Indeed, the transfer market has just begun, and the Lakers lost their two main players, Fliggy and Sprewell.

It is definitely impossible to say that the strength of the Lakers will not be affected.

Although the Lakers selected Finley, who became famous at a young age, Finley is a low-ranking rookie after all, and no one thinks that he can play a big role in the new season.

Even, no one knows whether Shay will stay with the Lakers next season!

The news that the Knicks wanted to buy Shai for 2000 million made a lot of noise, and the Lakers and Shai did not immediately announce the news of the contract extension.

This made the Los Angeles fans fearful. Seeing that the factory was about to collapse, it didn't seem impossible for Shay to run away with a bucket!
The old Busby Lakers fans panicked, and even asked Shai to watch it together.
"Swimsuit competition!?" Shay picked up the phone and pouted speechlessly.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered what the domestic media had said about Old Bath last summer: "A person who has escaped the vulgar taste."

"Oh, even though we lost last season, don't put too much pressure on yourself, people, the most important thing is to be happy!

Let's relax and relax!
I bought a VIP ticket, do you know what that means?

It means that we can enter the backstage and communicate with the models in depth about the design and inspiration of swimsuits!
This kind of artistic communication, I think you should like it very much! "

Xie Yi is also convinced, ah, rotten capitalism!
"Uh, Jerry, I've been very busy recently. You know, my new shoes are about to be released. Swimsuit competitions and so on don't suit my temperament.

I appreciate the kindness, let's find other fun when we have time. "

Shay was simply embarrassed to get along with an old pervert like Old Bath, so he politely declined.

But the speaker had no intention of the listener, and Old Buss panicked at that time.

It’s over.

Shay he turned me down!
Does he really want to leave?

Do you think I gave too little?

Am I a spare tire! ?
So in the next few days, Shay and old Bass will always have text messages like this:
Bass: What are you doing?
Shay: Going to take a shower.

Bass: Are you ready?

Shay: Well, ready for bed, good night.

Dr. Bath is suave and suave. He has never been a dog licker in his life. He has always been touched by others on his knees, in a physical sense.

As a result, one day he actually licked a big man!

Life is really impermanent, the large intestine wraps the small intestine.

Shay didn't completely ignore Bass, he also sent Falk to negotiate a contract with old Bass.

Why have Shai and the Lakers been slow to sign?Not because of anything else, just because once Shay signs, it will definitely be an extension.Once he signs, the Lakers' salary space will be locked instantly.

You can't do anything in free agency.

Therefore, Shay has to wait for the Lakers to complete the reinforcement first, and then sign the contract, so that the Lakers can maximize their benefits.

Therefore, the two sides have been dragging until now.

Originally, this was discussed by the two parties before, but after the recent rumors about Shay's transfer increased, Old Bath must have been very panicked.

Although Shay himself didn't express his desire to leave, before the contract was clearly written in black and white, Old Bus couldn't sleep all night.

I was afraid that when I woke up the next day, Shay would suddenly be abducted by another team.

Xie also knew that old Buss invited him to watch the swimsuit competition, and sent text messages every day to kneel and lick, just because he was afraid that he would run away.

No, Shay immediately sent Falk to connect with Old Bath, with the purpose of giving Old Bath a reassurance.

Let the team feel at ease and make good reinforcements, and I will definitely be in place.

Falk also cut to the chase:
"Dr. Bass, you duck don't have to worry, although Barkley signed 1800 million, although the Knicks are asking for 2000 million.

But my employer is a person of integrity, a noble person, and a person who is out of vulgar taste!

Moreover, we also believe in the sincerity of you and your team.

What Shay meant was that the team is eager to strengthen, so don't have any messy ideas. "

Falk felt that what he had said was clear enough.Shay subjectively does not want to go elsewhere, the Lakers just need to feel at ease and strengthen.

As a result, as soon as Falk walked on the front foot, old Bass was sweating coldly on the back foot!

In his view, Falk mentioned Barkley's signing amount and the Knicks' asking price, which is implying that the Lakers' offer should not be lower than 2000 million!
The Knicks have already offered 2000 million, and if your Lakers are less than 2000 million, it can't be justified.

And Falk reminded Bass to rest assured and strengthen, but in Bass's view, this seemed to imply that the Lakers had better recruit more troops, otherwise they would not serve them!
Old Bath people are stupid!
The team must act quickly!

But in this year's free agent market, there are really no big fish.

After looking around, the team only found Ricky Pierce, the two-time Sixth Man of the Year winner who had outstanding performances in the Bucks and SuperSonics, except for Finley.

Although Ricky Pierce is 36 years old, but their convulsion type players are easy to play for a long time.

Because they are inherently unstable, as long as they can be drawn occasionally, some teams will sign them.

The Lakers rushed to sign the exhaust fan before the Pacers and Raptors.

The Lakers' operation was ridiculed by many media as "the dying struggle before the collapse".

"After so many days, the only thing they've got is a 36-year-old who nobody wants.

The Lakers never dreamed that the collapse would be so complete. "

"A rookie, a veteran, the Lakers, this is not what a championship team should do."

And Bill Simmons, the columnist who was humiliated for kneeling for Shay last summer, popped up again:
"Shai's fans don't have to worry about the Lakers being weak, because Shai will definitely leave the Lakers.

Shay is well aware that without good teammates, he simply can't do anything.

You always say that he is very successful, he won two MVPs and two championships at a young age.

But you also often overlook that his team has a more luxurious lineup than other teams.

I'm not saying Shay isn't strong, I just feel his strength doesn't match his honor.

He is like a superb beauty with a figure of 90 points, but with a face of 60 points.

He has a strength of 60 points, and he has an honor of 90 points!

Even if they randomly throw an All-Star into the Lakers team in the past two years, they can also win the championship.

Shay knows this very well, so he must leave, he must run away.

He is not the kind of person who can lead the team out of the predicament with his personal ability!
Even if the salary is cut, he will go to a stronger team!

Because once he leaves a strong team, he will expose the fact that he is not strong enough! "

Bill Simmons has been obediently shutting up and not blacking Shay for a whole year, and now seeing that Shay's house is going to collapse, he has to rush out and pretend to be a wave of experts, madly adding insult to injury.

The Logo man also racked his brains, not knowing how to strengthen the lineup.

That's when Shay called West and told him, "That guy, we might try!"

With Shay's reminder, Logo suddenly remembered a guy who had disappeared for more than a year and should have become a hot commodity this summer but was left out because of an accident.

Although Logo has no idea about him, but
There are no big fish in the free agent market now, so they can only be treated as living horse doctors!
Patrick Ewing, once one of the four major centers, was once the absolute king of the city of New York.

He certainly did not expect that at the age of 35, he would encounter a crisis where his career would almost end.

This summer, Ewing, who had been sidelined for a whole year because of a torn cruciate ligament in his knee, expired on his contract with the Knicks.

The Knicks are very willing to re-sign their once ace center and promise Ewing to continue to have the starting position.

But the quotation is only 1 million for 120 year!
For Ewing, this was an almost humiliating offer, one that seemed to send off beggars.

He did so much for the Knicks, sacrificed so much, and he brought the Knicks to the Finals again after 20 years.

As a result, the Knicks were only willing to pay 120 million when renewing the contract!
When he first entered the industry 10 years ago, Ewing's salary was 125 million!

Therefore, Ewing and the Knicks have not reached an agreement on an early contract extension, and he intends to test the free agent market.

However, the ending made him even more heartbroken.

Basically, the price tag of all the teams that quoted did not exceed the category of 120.

Ewing had a serious knee injury, but suffered a torn cruciate ligament, an injury that could ruin his career.

Almost everyone felt that Ewing was definitely useless.

Not to mention restoring the glory of the four major centers, whether Ewing can adapt to the confrontation in the NBA has to be questioned.

One million bets on one possibility, the teams feel they are generous enough.

Ewing was disheartened, and even once thought about retiring.

He would rather leave a strong back than live in shame.

But this kind of thought only flashed through his mind, he is not the kind of person who gives up on himself!

So before the end of the season, Ewing returned to Georgetown University and started recovery training day after day.

Especially because of this move, it also caused a huge economic storm. This year, the sales of the Atlanta Gold Club did not know how much it would drop!

Coach John Thompson wanted to help one of his most proud disciples, so he said to reporters: "Patrick has fully recovered!"

Of course, no one believed it.

As Ewing's mentor, Thompson is willing to speak well for Ewing.People feel that the coach's evaluation of Ewing is not objective.

But Ewing still didn't give up, he polished his body day after day and adjusted his state.

This tough guy will never succumb to fate easily!
The hard work paid off, and Ewing finally got an olive branch.

From his former Finals opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers!

When Ewing looked at the Logo man, his expression was a little surprised,
Because he didn't expect a championship team to actually need him.

Moreover, the condition given by the Logo man is 2 million in 800 years!
is a quote that makes Ewing more dignified.

"Shai actually asked me to come, and he said he asked Coach Thompson, and John said you're doing fine.

To be honest, as the general manager of the team, I can't sign a player because of one or two sentences.

But I trust Shay like Shay trusts you.

I am willing to give you a two-year contract of 2 million yuan, but the second year is a team option.

If you can prove yourself next season, we can continue to cooperate in depth. "

By doing this, Logo gave Ewing a chance to prove himself for a year.

If Ewing can play well, even if it is only 400% of the peak level, [-] million a year will not be a loss.

The four major centers are all above the first-line existence, and Ewing with [-]% skill can be regarded as a first-line center.

And if Ewing can't play, the team can immediately stop losses as soon as the team option is implemented next summer.

400 million scratch-off lottery tickets, earn blood if you win, but don’t win.
Anyway, it was old Buzz's blood loss!
Of course, another reason for this move is to make Shay happy.

This year, Logo actually accepts failure.

Because next summer, the free agent market will be even more turbulent.

The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!And the better!

As long as the salary space can be kept healthy, the Lakers still have a chance to show their ambitions next year!
Logo Man's only concern is that Shay will leave because he's tired of losing.

At that time, the cornerstone of team building will be gone, and no matter how many fish there are in the free market, it will be useless.

Therefore, in order to coax Shay well, he doesn't mind spending 400 million to sign a university senior whom Shay respects very much.

As long as Shay can be stabilized, even if he fails this year, he can continue to sign up next year.

Ewing basically didn't think much about it, and directly signed his name on the contract of 2 million in two years, and the second year was still a team option.

He has to prove that he can still do it in order to increase his value!
And the Lakers are the only team willing to give him a chance and respect him.

In this way, the Lakers signed Ewing, and Ewing teamed up with Shay.

And thus the Georgetown duo was born!
It stands to reason that Shai cooperates with one of the four major centers, which should be a breaking news.

The media should have reported that the NBA has come to an end.

As a result, after the news of the signing was reported, the Lakers and Ewing ushered in another burst of ridicule:
"I wasn't sure when the Lakers signed Ricky Pierce, but now, gentlemen, I'm sure the Lakers are going nowhere.

They even had nowhere to go to try their luck by signing a defunct center.

When a team thinks about taking their chances, they're already doomed. "

"I have to admit, Patrick was great.

But that was then, and now Patrick, IMHO, is only worth a million.

No, he may not be able to play in the NBA anymore with his scars! "

"Ewing was the last option for the Lakers. There is no center who can stay in shape after going through an injury like that."

"The Lakers are out of action, their signings this summer are a mess!"

Ewing was having a hard time.

He didn't know why the reporters were so hostile towards him.

He signed with the Lakers for a modest price, but was considered a useless signing.

Ewing, who doesn't like dealing with the media, refused all media interviews.

This is equivalent to losing the position of public opinion.

At this moment, Shay stood up and said a few words for Ewing.

On the third day after Ewing signed with the Lakers, in an interview program on NBC, the host asked Shai about Ewing:
"Do you think Patrick can really help the team next season?"

"Of course we can, otherwise we wouldn't have signed him."

"Why are you so confident in him? Just because you both came from the same school?"

"Why? I'll tell you why.

Even if he played without injury in the 94 finals, he was still a hero.

Even if he doesn't play shut down and continues to insist, he is still a Hall of Fame player.

Even if he does choose to retire this summer and never return to the court, he is already a living legend.

But, that's not Patrick Ewing!
He didn't choose to escape, Patrick's strength is beyond all of your expectations!
He is not a coward like Bill Simmons who only knows how to hide behind his back.

He is a fighter and he will never let his career end like this!

And such a strong fighter, his performance will not be bad.

It's not that I overestimated him, it's that you underestimated him too much.

He is one of the four major centers! "

Ewing was also watching the show at the time, and Shay has been speaking out for him since his injury.

Ewing saw all this in his eyes.

Even if he fights hard next season, he will also help Shay get back to the top!

Men's friendship is very simple.

If you support me, I will support you.

Having said that, the host also asked Shay another question: "So, you will renew your contract with the Lakers this year?"

"Of course, when did I say I was leaving?"

"However, you obviously have a better choice. You can go directly to a stronger team, a team that is more likely to win the championship. You are free now, and no one can stop you."

"It has nothing to do with the choice, and it has nothing to do with the difficulty of winning the championship.

I just haven't lived up to my promise yet.

I said last year that one day, I will build a three-peat dynasty with the Lakers.

I promise!
I'm not going anywhere until this promise is fulfilled! "

This sentence inspired a little boy in Akron.

so cool!
If I can play in the NBA in the future, I will definitely make such a cool promise!

I won't go anywhere until I win the championship!

Seeing this, the host immediately asked the bottom line: "Then... is it convenient to disclose the amount of the contract extension? I think fans all over the world are very concerned about this matter. Charles is 1800 million. Are you higher or lower than him?"

Faced with this question, Shay just smiled mysteriously:
"All I can tell you is that when I officially re-sign with the Lakers, all the TV stations will report me.

Everyone's jaws will drop in shock! "

Buckley?
There are only a few days left for him to be the highest paid in history!
　Today's [-]D update is here, with a good conscience, begging for votes!
