NBA: There is nothing wrong with bringing a ball in a fight!

Chapter 58 Seven million in two years!Ye Qingchen's huge contract aroused Barkley's jealousy!

The reason why Ye Qingchen signed with the Lakers is heavy news.

That's because the amount and time of the contract signed are quite shocking.

The contract amount is 700 million US dollars!
But the contract is only for two years.

What shocked and puzzled many fans was that this two-year contract is still a 1+1 contract, and Ye Qingchen has a player option for the second year.

In other words, after one year, Ye Qingchen can choose to opt out of the contract, or continue to sign with the Lakers.

This player option can be said to be the first of its kind in this era.

Because in many cases, players are eager to sign long-term contracts with the team.

Long-term contracts mean that their salaries are fixed, and they are getting higher and higher.

For example, the ten-year-long contract signed by Larry Johnson and the Hornets, this is the means by which the Hornets want to keep Larry Johnson in the Hornets.

Similarly, for Larry Johnson, he just needs to play well for the next ten years.

He doesn't have to worry about whether he will lose his job or be abandoned by the team.

But Ye Qingchen chose to sign as short a contract as possible.

This made many fans very puzzled.

In fact, even Ye Qingchen's manager Harvey didn't understand at first.

He thinks that Ye Qingchen should sign a long-term contract with the Lakers.

This is actually more secure for his career.

Because no one can guarantee that they can stay healthy all the time.

If Ye Qingchen suffered a serious injury during his two-year contract with the Lakers.

And if the contract expires, then Ye Qingchen will definitely be kicked out.

The NBA is such a realistic place.

But if Ye Qingchen signed a four-year or longer contract, even if Ye Qingchen suffered serious injuries during this period.

Even if he couldn't play at all, Ye Qingchen wouldn't have any risk of losing his job.

Therefore, long-term contracts are actually the biggest guarantee for many players.

After all, as a professional athlete, things like injuries can really happen at any time.

However, for Ye Qingchen, this is not a problem at all.

The reason why he chose to sign a short contract is actually to have more confidence to win a bigger contract after one year.

The two-year 700 million contract is just a starting point for Ye Qingchen.

But it's not his end.

Ye Qingchen wanted to use his rookie season as a bargaining chip in his negotiations.

When the time comes, Ye Qingchen believes that the Lakers will definitely be eager to renew his contract with a larger amount.

In desperation, Harvey could only agree to Ye Qingchen's request.

Although the Lakers were very surprised by Ye Qingchen's condition.

But in the end they still accepted Ye Qingchen's condition.

Completed the contract with Ye Qingchen!
So far, after representing the Lakers in three summer league games, Ye Qingchen officially became a Lakers player.

Next, the Lakers still have two summer league games to play.

In these two summer league games, the Lakers' opponents are the Jazz and the Mavericks.

These two teams don't even have a single decent player.

Almost all scrap players.

Therefore, Ye Qingchen easily obtained luxurious statistics in these two games.

In the end, after the summer league ended, Ye Qingchen also led his team to complete five consecutive victories and successfully won the best record in the summer league.

Similarly, Ye Qingchen's average data in these five games is quite terrifying:
35.5 points, 16.8 rebounds, 17.8 assists, 8.8 blocks, 5.6 steals.

It can even be regarded as a quasi-quadruple-double data.

This data, looking at the entire NBA Summer League, can also be said to be quite a burst of performance.

Therefore, after the summer league ended, Ye Qingchen also gradually began to attract the attention of the media and fans.

Because, just looking at this data, it is really quite scary.

Although it's only the summer league, getting such data is really already quite an existence against the sky.

What's more, it was a rookie player at the end of the first round who got this data.

He even crushed the No. [-] and No. [-] picks in this draft.

It can be said that from the current performance alone, Ye Qingchen's strength is above the No. [-] and No. [-].

This news is great news for Lakers fans.

This shows that they picked up a super big leak!
At the same time, it also proved that Jerry West's vision is quite vicious.

However, some people are happy and some are worried.

The most uncomfortable is of course the Warriors who have reached a deal with the Lakers.

At first, they didn't have any impression or idea about Ye Qingchen at all.

Even the Lakers wanted to get Ye Qingchen through a trade. From the perspective of the general manager of the Warriors, Jerry West was a pure fool with a lot of money.

Therefore, he agreed to this transaction without any hesitation at all.

Because in his opinion, yellow-skinned players who want to have an eye-catching performance in the NBA are simply wishful thinking.

However, when he learned about Ye Qingchen's performance in the summer league, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Now the guts of the general manager of the Warriors are remorseful!

Even the Warriors fans began to mock him as blind.

Similarly, the outside world has a lot of discussions about the huge contract that the Lakers gave Ye Qingchen.

You know, calculated in this way, Ye Qingchen's annual salary has already reached 350 million.

This annual salary is already the absolute top salary in this era.

One must know that Magic Johnson's annual salary at this time is actually similar to Ye Qingchen's.

Magic Johnson has been playing in the NBA for ten years.

He has survived for so long, and his annual salary is only more than 300 million.

But Ye Qingchen signed such a huge contract in his first rookie contract.

For many veterans, this is really jealous.

Therefore, even before Ye Qingchen officially started his NBA journey, he had already suffered enough envy and criticism.

Even Charles Barkley, the digital man's leading star, felt very jealous of Ye Qingchen's contract:

"Damn!"

"Who the hell is this guy?"

"He's not even the number one pick, so how can he get such a big contract?"

"Yes, I admit that I am jealous, I can't wait to meet the Lakers in the new season!"

"Then, I will viciously beat out the shit of this yellow-skinned monkey!"

Barkley's remarks instantly made many fans applaud.

After all, watching others make money is really more uncomfortable than losing money yourself!
