Chapter 379 Seven Heroes Fight for Hegemony
Taylor was very efficient and provided detailed information on five top-level apartments on the morning of the [-]nd.

Li Yue made a video call with Chen Xi to screen together, and finally agreed to choose the Scarle Apartment opposite the Staples Center.

The reason is that it is located in the center of the city, only two streets away from the Staples Arena, adjacent to three major traffic roads, and it takes only 10 minutes to drive to schools such as USC and UCLA, and to Universal Studios and Beverly Hills , Monica Beach and other places are also very convenient. There are complete supporting facilities around, and there is no delay in work, entertainment, food and medical care.

The apartment was relatively new when it was built, but it is equipped with 24-hour gym/guards, small bar room and other facilities. What the two of them fancy is the super-large exclusive apartment on the top floor, which can overlook the city scenery of Los Angeles. It covers an area of ​​about 412 square meters, with Wood floors, glass curtain walls, two custom fireplaces, and a wall-mounted IPAD-controlled smart home system.

The kitchen adopts a central island design, three bedrooms, and 472 bathrooms. The master bedroom is equipped with a set of steam shower facilities and a small outdoor swimming pool.

At noon, Li Yue drove to Scarle's apartment and visited it under the guidance of the staff. In addition to the public introduction in the materials, he also saw a billiard table and a piano in the living room, as long as you buy it, you can get a gift.

Li Yue decided to buy it immediately, but he forgot to bring his passport, so he could only go back to the Ramonla community to make preparations.

Such impulsive consumption, calm down and feel a little upstart mentality, and simply entrust Taylor to handle the troublesome things behind.It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when all kinds of authorization certificates were obtained. He went to the gym for training as usual, and by the way, he logged on to Twitter to browse news related to the free market and see how the big fish were doing.

Howard, Harden, Morey, and Rockets owner Alexander form a luxury recruiting team, ready to attack Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh, two big-name players, and they are seeking to trade Asik and Jeremy Lin , so as to free up at least one maximum salary space, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to get two big-name players.

There was no news about the meeting between LeBron and the Heat executives, but no news means that the probability of LeBron leaving the Heat is getting higher and higher. Although the Heat have tried their best to seek reinforcements, the core problem is still the aging of the lineup.

WOJ broke the news that the two-time All-Star player Luol Deng is very likely to join the Warriors. Maybe Luol Deng is the big-name player mentioned by the Warriors president before, but the Warriors are also recruiting LeBron at the same time, and the current star Curry is personally involved.

Such news is not in vain, because as early as 12, the Warriors tried to acquire Luol Deng through a trade. At that time, the only difference was that the contract was difficult to balance.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yue finished training and walked out of the gym, and received a news push that Nash announced his retirement.

It was originally a big event, but the free market structure is still undecided. Except for a few players tweeting and sighing, it did not cause much discussion. The Lakers officially updated the video to express their gratitude and officially invited Nash to join the coaching staff.

On the morning of the 7rd, the somewhat calm free market finally broke out big news, but it was not about signing or trading, but the Rockets released a photo of Anthony wearing the No. [-] jersey on the big screen outside the Toyota Center at home.

But the No. 7 jersey belongs to Jeremy Lin at this time. Although everyone knows that the Rockets will trade or buy out Jeremy Lin, they have not left the team so far. This is not only chilling, but also very insulting.

Jeremy Lin made a reply on Twitter, but he didn't say anything about it directly. He just quoted the sentence "If someone hits you on the right cheek, even turn the left cheek to him..." This sentence seems to want to emphasize that he will fight with love. Tolerate the ugly behavior of the Rockets.

Li Yue is quite helpless about this. Hooligans and robbers cannot be influenced by love. Once you show tolerance and love, hooligans and robbers will feel that you are weak and hopeful, and will only intensify their aggression and trample on you. The correct way is Swearing, if you can fight back with real means, you must not have any mercy, otherwise it will only cause more trouble.

As expected, the Rockets did not make any explanations, let alone apologize. No one from the entire team stood up to speak for Jeremy Lin, making Jeremy Lin look like an outsider, and even some Rockets fans applauded.

At noon on the [-]th, Li Yue packed up all his things and officially moved into the Scarle apartment. The old residents held a slightly grand welcome ceremony, and Li Yue also gave the neighbors gifts prepared in advance.

The second uncle's family came to help take care of it, and returned to Irvine after dinner. Li Yue made a video call with his parents and invited them to come to the United States for fun, but they were rejected on the spot, unless they were married and had children and needed to help take care of their grandchildren.

The time turned to 7:10 a.m. on July 6957. The league office officially announced the salary cap for the new season. The NBA's profit last season exceeded expectations.

This drove many teams into a complete frenzy, and WOJ and the official teams of each team updated their Twitter announcements one after another.

湖人队宣布裁掉史蒂夫纳什，剩余工资使用延期条款分为三年支付；与李越达成五年顶薪续约，第一年薪资为1739.25万美元，五年总额为10102.24407美元；与保罗加索尔达成3年2700万美元合同，第一年薪为650万美元；与尼克杨达成4年2150万美元合同，第一年薪资为499万美元；与贝兹莫尔达成2年400万美元合同；底薪签约艾德戴维斯、比斯利、马绍尔；七月下旬正式签约约基奇和克拉克森两位新秀。

The Rockets announced the completion of the deal with the 76ers, taking a first-round pick and a 15 second-round pick to send Jeremy Lin away, only in exchange for the right to sign an overseas player, but with a salary of more than 800 million US dollars.

The Spurs announced that they had reached contract extensions with Mills, Duncan, Parker and Diaw.

WOJ broke the news that Bosh will stay with the Heat with a 5-year maximum salary, and Wade decided to terminate the contract early.

The Thunder announced a sign-and-trade with the Eagles, sent Sefolosha away, obtained a special deal and the right to sign Greek center Sofoklis, and then reached a three-year, $3 million contract with Anthony Morrow.

All kinds of news were bombarded wildly, but apart from Bosh staying with the Heat, there was not much discussion. After all, most of them were simply strengthening or maintaining the original lineup, or clearing up available space. The real big fish has not yet surfaced. .

NO.12 At noon, Li Yue lay on the big bed by the window and looked at the entire scenery of Los Angeles.

A contract of hundreds of millions of dollars has been signed. The next two years will be an absolutely critical period. Kobe may retire by then, and Iguodala’s contract will also be in its final year. Several rookies are facing contract renewals. If they do not have good results, they will easily collapse completely. .

The text message rang suddenly, and he took out his phone to look, and Taylor told him to check Twitter quickly.

He was about to click to log in, but when Twitter pushed three news in a row, Li Yue stared straight at him.

[Sports Illustrated: LeBron announces return to Cleveland]

【WOJ: The Golden State Warriors reached a two-year, $2 million contract with two-time All-Star player Luol Deng】

[Jonathan Fagan: The Rockets reached a 4-year maximum salary agreement with Carmelo Anthony]

Li Yue came back to his senses, thinking that in the new season there will be five strong teams in the West, namely the Lakers, Thunder, Spurs, Warriors, and Rockets, and two strong teams in the East, the Cavaliers and Eagles. ?”

Just about to learn more, Kupchak sent a text message: "I learned that the 76ers will lay off Jeremy Lin, what do you think?"

PS: In order to write this chapter, I checked a lot of information to ensure the feasibility, and I also used EXCEL to do the calculation, but I didn’t calculate carefully when the Rockets got Anthony. The main reason is that the results caused by many assumptions are very cumbersome and there may be errors. .
