The world's best combo guard

Chapter 39 38 [Angry Old Bath]

“3年489万美元，第1年128万，第2年151万，第3年210万，第4年球队选项，价值185万美元”

Li Hao and Yao Zhijun walked all the way back from the training hall, and they discussed the contract they had just signed while walking.

"Although the total value of this contract has only increased by more than 80 US dollars compared with the initial quotation, it at least shows our attitude"

Li Hao is still very satisfied with this contract.

"Even so, the Lakers did not use the rookie exception. I don't know why they seem to be very reluctant to use the rookie exception. They are very cautious on this issue."

"Never mind him, just take care of our own business"

Although Li Hao is also a little strange, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, it doesn't matter about him, he is now officially a Los Angeles Lakers player, and he can fully devote himself to training from tomorrow. Some can't wait.

"Ah Hao, have you been online these two days?" Yao Zhijun suddenly asked a very strange question.

"What's wrong?" Li Hao looked at Yao Zhijun in surprise.

"Your new owner, the Lakers, has not been quiet these two days, you know? Kobe Bryant, one of the core of the team, is in trouble. He has a lawsuit. A waitress sued him for raping herself. Now this matter Stir fry"

Is there such a thing?Li Hao was a little surprised.

He wasn't surprised that Kobe would rape a waitress, because the private lives of many players in the NBA are very chaotic, he was just surprised that this matter would be exposed, and there would be a lot of speculation.

"The truth of the matter is still unknown, but one thing is certain, no matter whether this matter is true or not, it will have a great negative impact on Kobe himself and the Lakers."

Li Hao nodded in agreement.

For a star player active in the NBA, having a good public image is very important, because it will not only make him more confident and maintain a good competitive state, but also increase his commercial value, because every star player There are many commercial brands standing behind them.

It is conceivable that Kobe in the new season will lose something because of this incident.

"I heard from Kupchak before that the team's big owner Jerry Buss was furious because of this incident. He even had a big fight with Kobe on the phone because in Jerry Buss' opinion, Kobe Bryant was very angry. Childish, I can’t even handle this matter well. This kind of matter is exposed, which has a great negative impact on the team. Jeremy Buss even questioned Kobe’s future in the new season.”

Li Hao didn't expect that even Jerry Bass would show up. It seems that this matter is not a trivial matter.

"Ah Hao, through this incident, I am skeptical about whether the Lakers, who want revenge, can do something in the new season. According to the various exposure news in the current transfer market, the Lakers won Gary Payton and Karl Malone. It's a matter of time, but we have to stay sober. Gary Payton and Karl Malone are veterans. How much fuel is there in the tank? Whether the Lakers can win the championship in the new season depends on the ok combination. Now Kobe has something like this again. Can it really guarantee that the state of the new season will not be affected? In this case, what revenge can we take?" Yao Zhijun showed a regretful expression.

"Many Lakers diehards are now enjoying the wonderful F4 combination, but if you stay awake for a little bit, you will understand how much moisture this luxurious F4 has"

"Brother Jun, what's the matter, you seem to be a little too pessimistic." Li Hao agreed with what Yao Zhijun said, but he felt that Yao Zhijun was a little too pessimistic today.

"It's nothing, I just feel sorry for you. I originally thought that you might win the championship with the luxurious Zijin Army in the new season, but now it seems that this is just a good wish."

"Really? I feel that you are more like a die-hard Lakers loyalist who maintains reason." Li Hao shook his head with a smile.

What Li Hao didn't expect was that Yao Zhijun and Lu San gave him a thumbs up.

"Uh... Could it be that you are really a Lakers loyalist?" Li Hao opened his mouth.

"Do you think it's normal for someone who knows the NBA well to not have a home team?" Yao Zhijun laughed.

"Well, in order not to disappoint you, the diehard Lakers, in the new season, I will try my best to help the Lakers win the championship"

…………

"I passed on our suggestion to Shaq, but the guy's reply was asshole, just like a year ago, this time he also told me that he was injured during work and belonged to Work injury, so he has to undergo surgery after the start of the new season, and now, he has to go on vacation."

In Beverly Hills, Kupchak reluctantly relayed the conversation between him and Shaquille O'Neal to Jerry Buss, who's face became more and more gloomy.

"Okay, let him have surgery after the start of the new season, but Mitch, listen, we can't give him a new maximum salary contract"

Jeri Buss is very angry at the moment. He feels that his management of the team has been a little relaxed in the past two years, and he has indulged the players too much, especially the core players.

Take a look at what has happened in the past few days. The two core members of the team, one was accused of rape and went to court, and the other was only interested in having fun, and was completely irresponsible for the team's new season. His body was injured, and he did not go to surgery to recover now. Instead, it is unreasonable to wait until the start of the new season to undergo surgery.

You must know that Shaq O'Neal did this kind of thing last season. Even in the eyes of many people, if Shaq O'Neal did not do this last season, they would not have been sent out by the Spurs in the semifinals of the playoffs.

"Shaq, who do you think I am, Jerry Buss? Do you think I am a philanthropist? One year ago I was able to sack Jerry West mercilessly, and one year later I can also give up on you. Let's wait and see" Jay Ribas' eyes were breathing fire.

"How about Gary Payton and Karl Malone? To be honest, I am a little dissatisfied with your work. You, the general manager, should be very clear about what the team is facing now. The team as a whole is surrounded by negative news, so I I hope you will speed up your progress and take them down immediately"

Kupchak almost left Beverly Hills under the roar of Jerry Buss. In his impression, this is the first time he has seen Jerry Buss make such a big fuss since he became the general manager of the Lakers.

"Maybe it's the same on anyone, those two guys are bastards." For the first time, Kupchak felt that the OK combination was no longer the OK combination it used to be.

"Trevor, from now on, use your own methods to smear Shaq. You can make a fuss by using the OK combination to make a fuss. There is only one principle, to make Shaq unable to stay in Los Angeles after the end of the new season. Let him have no capital to ask us for a maximum salary contract"

After Kupchak left Beverly Hills, Jerry Buss made a phone call with a grim face. His actions and tone were familiar, as if this was not the first time he had done such a thing.

"Want a max salary? Shaq, you will pay for your actions"
