Chapter 576 Be careful to kill yourself

This contract is at the same level as Paul's 4-year 1.6 million.

"Of course, boss, with Wang's current strength, even if you give him 6 million yuan a year, it's worth it." Morey said with a smile.

In the late 90s, Jordan's salary could already get more than 3000 million US dollars.

You know, at the time of Jordan, the salary cap for an NBA team was only over 2000 million US dollars.In other words, the salary of most teams' 15 players is only about US$2000 million.

Jordan's salary alone exceeds the salary cap!

This was absolutely shocking at that time.

But with Jordan's status in the world at that time, even with such a high salary, it was worth it!After all, he is a generation of superstars who helped the NBA truly go global!
With Wang Fei's current strength, although his status in the world is definitely far from being comparable to that of Jordan, his dominance and influence around the world are already not small.

Wang Fei is now not only relatively popular in China, but his popularity remains high all over the world.

The commercial value attached to Wang Fei exceeds 10 billion US dollars!
It is 10 billion per year!
Moreover, it is still growing rapidly.

"6 million is a bit of a stretch, and it might not be easy to sell." Dillman shook his head.

"Then it's 1.2 million for three years. Renewing his contract in advance will be a boost for him. Although he has clearly asked to leave, this can be regarded as a gesture from us." Morey said.

When the two were discussing here, Wang Fei was already taking questions from reporters at the press conference.

As long as Wang Fei is present, he is the focus of his duty.

In fact, when Wang Fei walked into the post-match press conference, the press conference had already begun for some time.

Although the Warriors lost the game, they also lost their chance to enter the finals five times in a row.

But Cole felt that he could not refuse the post-match press conference because of his failure.

That seems too petty.

So, Kerr and Durant came to the press conference together.

Before Wang Fei arrived, Durant was the focus of questions from reporters.

The reporters are most concerned about Durant's plan after the free market starts this year.

Will he stay with the Warriors?
Have you started contract renewal negotiations with the Warriors?
Has the relationship with Draymond Green improved?

Questions such as these are of interest to journalists.

After all, Durant has hinted since his conflict with Green last year that this will be his last season with the Warriors.

Durant will leave.

This is definitely sensational news for the NBA.

Durant will become the biggest superstar after the opening of the free market, and he deeply affects the hearts of fans and industry experts.

In the press conference, Durant still had no clarity on what his next steps would be.

He didn't say he would leave.

He didn't say he would stay.

I just told the media reporter that he will see what happens step by step, and it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

The Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters at the press conference that the Warriors are fully preparing to renew Durant!

"Gentlemen, my boss has made one thing clear: to renew Kevin at all costs! Kevin is the absolute core of our team, with him, we can be called a top team! I believe that in the new season, Kevin will definitely stay in the Warriors and fight side by side with all of us." Steve Kerr said.

"However, your financial pressure is very high. You still have to renew the contracts of Chasing Dreams and Klay. If they both have maximum salaries, then your salary pressure will be too great." A reporter said.

"You don't need to worry about this! Our boss believes that as long as we can continue to maintain enough strength to compete for the championship, he will be happy even if we pay a lot of luxury taxes^" Steve Kerr said.

Just as he was talking, Wang Fei walked in.

As soon as Wang Fei came in, there was a burst of commotion at the press conference.

None of the reporters listened to Steve Kerr anymore, but they all started snapping photos of Wang Fei.

This shows how popular Wang Fei is.

Seeing this, Steve Cole shrugged and closed his mouth.

However, Cole did not leave.

He chose to stay.

He wanted to hear what Wang Fei would say.

Durant stood up and walked out of the press conference.

As soon as Wang Fei sat down in his seat, many reporters immediately started asking him questions.

Wang Fei smiled and said: "Everyone, come one by one, okay?"

Wang Fei first gave the opportunity to ask questions to Yang Yi, a reporter from "Sports Weekly".

Yang Yi smiled and first congratulated Wang Fei for leading the Rockets to the finals, and then asked: "Wang Fei, may I ask, which team in the Eastern Conference are you willing to play in the finals?"

Wang Fei said with a smile: "There is no difference. For me, any opponent is the same. I will take it seriously."

"I noticed that you had a conflict with Harden, who had just come back, during the game. Why?" Yang Yi asked again.

"It's nothing, it was just a small dispute, and it has been almost resolved now." Wang Fei said lightly.

"Harden's performance tonight was very poor. He failed to score 1 point. If it weren't for you, the Warriors would probably come back tonight and drag the game into the fifth game. So, what do you think, you are now Are you happy in the Rockets? I have noticed that a senator in the United States proposed to ban you from participating in NBA games. What do you think about this?" Yang Yi asked again.

Wang Fei said: "I have a good life with the Rockets. We reached the finals this year. This is very important to the Rockets, and also very important to me! I cherish this opportunity! As for the senator who wants to ban me Participating in NBA games, I think, this will not only have a negative impact on me, it will have a very bad impact on the entire NBA! Don’t forget, the NBA earns a lot of money in China every year! If they mess up like this, then Be careful of backlash from the market! I came to play in the NBA not because I wanted to come here, but because they invited me here! The reason why the NBA is strong and has global influence is because they are open enough! If they want to use political means to do it If they do something disgraceful, then go ahead and do it! I believe they will suffer the consequences! However, I think that the NBA and the wise people in the United States will not sit back and watch politicians mess around!"

This is what Wang Fei wants to say!

You want to play with me?
Be careful and kill yourselves!
Yang Yi nodded and said, "My question is over, and I am very satisfied with your answer."

Next, it was the New York Times reporter who got the chance to ask questions.

The reporter asked: "Wang, I feel that you have been treated unfairly in the Rockets. What are your plans after the end of this season?"

This question is on point.

Wang Fei smiled and said: "I won't answer this question. Because I just want to do one thing well now, that is: I want to play well in the finals, and winning the championship is the only question I think about now!"

Say nothing else.

But this also shows that Wang Fei has not promised to stay with the Rockets.

There is no commitment to stay in the Rockets, which means that Wang Fei may leave.

"Don't you want to change to a better environment? We can all feel that you are not happy in the Rockets." The reporter asked.

"Who says I'm not having a good time? I think it's okay. Don't guess." Wang Fei said.

"This doesn't seem to be speculation. You have had many conflicts with Chris and Harden. You just had a quarrel during the game. Harden seemed to be very dissatisfied with you. What dispute did you have? Yes. Is it because of the ball?" The reporter made it clear that he wanted to break the casserole and ask the question.

"There is no conflict, we just had a little dispute because of the style of play. As I said, we will resolve such conflicts internally." Wang Fei said.

He could only answer so tightly.

Since you are still in the Rockets, it is best not to speak ill of the Rockets.

Even if he leaves, he can't have a quarrel with the Rockets.

Stay on the front line in life, so we can meet up afterwards.

Wang Fei also hopes that his No. 99 jersey can be retired by the Rockets in the future.

Although I only played one season with the Rockets, if I win the championship, I will be a shining star in the history of the Rockets.

What's more, Wang Fei also left a series of outstanding data records in the Rockets?

As of now, there are only two players in the NBA who can score 3000 points in a season.

One is Chamberlain, and the other is Wang Fei.

15 seconds and 15 minutes is even more of a legendary classic.

There are also 101 points in a single game and 88 points in a single game in the playoffs. These are legendary records that will still be talked about after many years.

After the New York Times reporter's question, an ESPN reporter also asked: "Wang, after entering the finals, do you hope to play side by side with Harden?"

This is another tricky question.

The purpose is to test the relationship between Wang Fei and Harden.

Wang Fei smiled slightly and said, "It depends on the coach's arrangement, so I don't know."

"So, do you think Harden and Chris can share the ball with you in the finals?" ESPN reporter asked again.

"It's still the same sentence, everything depends on the arrangement of the head coach." Wang Fei said.

"So, can you comment on your teammates Harden and Chris? Do you think, without them, you can lead a group of role players to win the championship?" The ESPN reporter was reluctant and continued to ask.

Wang Fei pondered for a moment.He thought it was his chance to show himself.Offend Harden and Chris?Wang Fei didn't think there was any problem.If you don't have the ability, these two people might trample themselves to death!Wang Fei smiled and said, "What do you think? You must have watched all my games, so just make your own judgment."

The ESPN reporter laughed: "Haha! If we only look at your performance in the past games, you can definitely lead the team to win the championship with a single core. Because, a super scorer like you who can score [-] or [-] points at every turn can have With good role players to assist you, you can still play well."

"That's what you said. Maybe, I think I can agree with it." Wang Fei said.

"boom!"

There was a commotion at the press conference.

The next day, the Rockets returned to Houston.

Here, they will sit back and relax, quietly waiting for the winner between the Raptors and Bucks.

After returning to Houston, Wang Fei received a call from Morey.
