super small forward

Chapter 20 20. Mickey, there is a big man named Baibian...

The 10.3-meter short robe time is 40 seconds, the 3.9-yard short robe time is 105 seconds, the vertical jump is 110 cm, the run-up jump is 180 cm, and the bench press is [-] kg...

Kupchak's eyes widened when he saw Liu Ren's latest physical test data. When Liu Ren entered the NBA, the physical test data was already abnormal. At that time, the Lakers chose him because of his physical fitness, but Liu Ren's The golfer's quotient is flawed, so he didn't hit it.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ren has become even more terrifying now that he is fully developed!
In the same position, except for James, who is slightly inferior in strength and weight and recognized by the league as having the best physical fitness, he ranks in the top five in all other aspects of the league!Top [-] of all players!

This is just a single aspect to compare with everyone in the alliance, and there is no one who is stronger than Liu Ren in general!
3 million in three years, a bit higher than the three-year middle-class contract that Liu Ren expected.

Kupchak originally prepared a 4-year 2000 million contract. When he knew that the Eagles and Spurs had offers, he did not ask about the contract amount. With the latest physical test data, he did not hesitate to give a 4-year 2400 million contract. This is the final price after discussion with the management.

In fact, this price is still a bit conservative. After all, Liu Ren's golf quotient in the past two years was really bad. Although he played well in the last few games of last season, in people's eyes, it was only because of lack of manpower that he topped him. It just showed his talent.

Now he is still regarded as a rusher. He showed so many talents in the last period of last season, all of which are physical talents.

The physical talent in the NBA is much better, but most of them are difficult to stay in the NBA because of the problem of golf quotient.

Kupchak is very courageous, and the Lakers have always been generous to their own players, so the offer is not low. The contract originally offered was already the same as the price offered by the Eagles. After being attracted, he immediately gave the final offer. He didn't procrastinate, he signed if he could, and gave up if he couldn't, and he didn't waste the time of players contacting other teams.

This is the courage of the general manager of a wealthy team.

Without delay, it took only half an hour for Liu Ren and the Lakers to renew their contract.

"Liu, I'm glad you chose to stay with the team, and I'm looking forward to your performance next season." Kupchak said after Liu Ren signed the contract.

"Liu, you will have a lot of playing time next season." D'Antoni was equally happy that the disciples he brought out signed big contracts.

"Mitch, I'm also very happy. In the next three years, I can still play under such an excellent general manager as you and an excellent coach as Mike." Liu Ren also extended his hand and shook hands with Kupchak and D'Antoni. I am very satisfied with the price given by the Lakers. I was a little worried at first, and even prepared to go to other teams if the Lakers lowered the price.

"Mary, it's the first time I've met such a beautiful agent, and I think Liu is very sure of this. But what I admire most is your professional knowledge, and our future cooperation will be very pleasant." Kupchak said A check for 20 U.S. dollars was drawn out, placed in front of Chen Hanni, and then stretched out her hand.

Chen Hanni's eyes lit up. The number on the check made her very excited. She quickly controlled her emotions. As an agent, self-cultivation is the most important thing. Sometimes calmness is more important than ability.

"I think we will still shake hands here in three years." Hanni Chen stretched out her hand with a smile, and shook Kupchak's fingers.

This scene was captured by the photographer, and then the photographer left to edit and post it to the team's official website to confirm the signing.

But to wait until the actual submission to the league, you have to wait until the team's reinforcement is over. Liu Ren has the early bird clause, which can take up a little less salary space.

After exchanging pleasantries, Kupchak got down to business.

"Liu, I think you should know about Howard leaving the team, but even so, as long as Kobe is here, our goal is still to compete for the championship!" Kupchak said in a deep voice.

"I understand that I will do everything to assist Kobe. I don't mind playing as a substitute when he comes back." Liu Ren knew this a long time ago. Make a move.

"No, Liu, you made a little mistake." Kupchak shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"I want you to play small forward!" Kupchak turned on the projector in the office with a remote control.

"You see, your running route in the last few games of last season, as well as the scoring method and the scoring distribution map, all prove that you can become an excellent small forward..." Kupchak said his thoughts.

Liu Ren looked at his stats on the screen. They were really the stats a high-quality small forward should have!
Running positions, air cuts, off-ball pick-and-rolls... are all what a small forward should do, and he does it very well!However, Liu Ren has a doubt, his height is less than two meters!
"I hope you can go to the small forward position. Kobe will still have the opportunity to start after his comeback. Of course, this depends on your own performance to fight for the starting position." Kupchak said.

Liu Ren is a little tangled, playing small forward... not right!In his last life, Kobe also played at the small forward position in his last year, but his way of playing has not changed much from before.Since when Kobe is on the court, I must be playing next to him, so what is the difference between playing a small forward or a guard?That's the starting position!
"I am confident that I can become an excellent striker. The coach will definitely let me appear in the right position." Liu Ren quickly agreed.

Kupchak breathed a sigh of relief and ran away with Howard. It will not be so easy for the Lakers to strengthen next time. Having a high-quality long-term player to stay is the bargaining chip for attracting stars next year!

After resolving this matter, Kupchak continued to ask in a very official way: "Liu, you are now one of the important components of the team, and you also have a say in our lineup, what do you think is not enough in our lineup? Is there a player you think would be suitable? We will try to accommodate your suggestion."

This is a very official question. All players know that this is just a polite word. Only the core of the team will answer this question. Ordinary players like Liu Ren will politely say that everything is up to the management's arrangement.

However, Liu Ren really said it!
"I know a player. Although he doesn't look very good now, I think he is very suitable for us and Mike's style of play." Liu Ren thought of that guy.

A trace of dissatisfaction appeared in Kupchak's eyes, is there really such a wicked person?But he didn't say anything, and after many years, he was glad that he didn't say anything that made Liu Ren uncomfortable.

D'Antoni was very interested: "Who is that guy? Liu, is he a buried genius like you?"

D'Antoni is very interested in digging up buried talents now!
"Buried genius? It's quite correct to describe him like this. He played in the Warriors last season. He was last year's second-round pick. His name is Draymond Green. He is like a defensively enhanced version of Boris Diaw. He is very good. Can defend the center, and can dribble like a guard..." Liu Ren tried hard to describe Green's excellence.

While talking, Liu Ren thought of another person: "There is also the rookie of the Bucks, named Giannis-what-what-what-kumbo, a Greek, I saw him play when I was traveling, he has almost Seven feet, but he handles the ball better than me... There is also a big man named Whiteside in our country, that is, China's CBA league. He seems to have played for the Kings before. His body is too good Yes, the defensive awareness is also scary, I think he can be a very good center..."

Hearing what Liu Ren said so wickedly, Kupchak is also a little interested. Anyway, I have to go and have a look. This kind of speculative thing is originally the favorite thing of the general manager. Every year, the draft is the biggest in the NBA. Speculation, or speculation in the middle.

Three players, it’s okay to go and have a look. Like the Lakers, a team that has lost more than half of its players this year, it is necessary to observe hundreds of players and then slowly fill them in. It’s okay to have three more.What if there are really good seedlings?
