I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 419

After the host finished his congratulations, Mr. Russell was supported by someone and held up the FMVP trophy.

A group of people watched Russell walk straight towards Su Ye.

When Su Ye lifted the trophy

There were bursts of cheers in the Los Angeles Plaza Garden.

Even at home in Los Angeles, there are still many Knicks fans.

"mvp!!!"

"mvp!!!"

"mvp!!!"

Almost everyone knows that the winner of the FMVP trophy tonight is Su Ye.

And this night is destined to be the moment of becoming a god.

Two consecutive championships.

Two consecutive fmvp.

Two consecutive regular season MVPs.

This is an achievement worthy of being recorded in history. Su Ye is fully capable of competing for the top three in history.

Moreover, this night, Su Ye also took the position of the number one active player, which no one could shake.

At this moment, fans all over the world focused their attention on the field.

Both local fans and overseas fans are posting wildly in social circles.

"Gift crab! Knicks awesome pen!"

“Huaxia Nanbowan!!!”

"Oh my god, Su Ye is so awesome this year!"

"Two consecutive championships! Two consecutive championships!!!"

"I'm convinced! This Su Ye is too cruel. No one can chase this result."

"Yes, judging from the current situation, if you want to chase his record, at least you have to win two consecutive MVPs to guarantee a minimum."

"Two consecutive MVP winners basically have no championships. I can't wait to see next season."

While everyone is celebrating.

The Knicks management feels a bit of a headache.

Because after the joy of winning the championship, they are about to renew their contract.

. . . .

On the day after the finals, the Knicks executives were so happy that they immediately started a meeting.

Everyone was sitting in the office with solemn expressions.

Knicks owner James Dolan turned the pen in his hand and fell into deep thought as he looked at the list in front of him.

"Boss, three players are due to expire this year."

"Look at it."

"This is the salary report."

James Dolan picked up the file.

After winning the championship last night, the Knicks' economic advisor rushed out reports.

There are only three names on the list.

Ray Allen.

randolph.

Hayes.

The contracts of these three people all expire this year, and the conservative renewal prices above all start at 10 million.

James Dolan nodded, then looked up at the management at the desk.

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

In fact, I was well prepared before the meeting.

"Keep!"

"They all have to stay."

"Whether it's one of the three of them, they all contribute a lot to the team."

"You can stay, but you have to take a salary cut to stay."

"Salary reduction, I feel like we need to discuss this matter, find someone to play the emotional card?"

"It's not easy. They want honor and honor now."

Everyone started talking about it.

Last year, the team renewed Deron Williams' contract at an average price of 1500 million a year, forming the current championship team.

Coupled with the team's championship this year, these three performed very well.

Even if they are put on the free market, in the case of Ray Allen and Randolph, the starting price of these two people is at least 1500 million.

Although the team can find someone to replace Hayes, he is still a player with a salary of 1000 million at least.

Compared with their last contract, their salary this year has doubled.

No team will like the main players of a championship team.

The secretary next to James Dolan, watching the heated discussion, also lowered his voice to remind his boss.

"Boss, I asked around and found that someone has already started to contact you in advance."

"what price?"

"Fifteen million, Hayes."

James Dolan frowned when he heard the price.

The price of 1500 million is a price that the Knicks cannot accept.

For Hayes, the team can give him a high salary of up to 1200 million.

And 1500 million, this is no longer just to buy players, it is purely to dismantle the Knicks lineup.

James Dolan's expression froze.

As a team owner, he knows it better than anyone else.

If such a person makes an offer, then many people will start trying to contact him one after another.

Not only that.

Judging from the current situation, it is too difficult for the team to keep these people.

"Don't worry about it for now."

"The championship parade has been finalized today."

"We will discuss this matter after the parade is over."

"correct."

"You ask Su Ye to get in touch with them a little bit and help us check their voices."

……

On the third day after the Finals, the New York Knicks started their championship parade as usual.

The entire parade will be broadcast live.

For this parade, the NBA and the team also spent a lot of money to enjoy the carnival with fans across the city.

There were at least thirty buses for the parade alone.

Starting from the outskirts of the city and ending at Madison Square Garden, almost all New York fans poured into the streets just to witness Su Ye and his group partying on the bus.

Under the official lens of the NBA, Su Ye took the lead in showing off the championship ring on his hand to everyone.

And at his feet were boxes of champagne.

Su Ye took the lead and put on swimming goggles, shook the champagne violently, and then sprayed it towards the fans in the audience.

"mvp!!!"

"mvp!!!"

"mvp!!!"

The fans in the audience also raised their hands high and continued to celebrate this victory.

On the stage not far away, the official NBA host was also introducing it to the fans.

"Here it comes! This is our new year's championship winner."

"New York! Knicks!"

On the bus, Randolph, Hayes, and Deron soon joined Su Ye.

Everyone spread champagne from the front of the car to the parking space and caroused with fans throughout New York.

The most outrageous thing is Hayes.

The first one took the lead to get off the double-decker bus, holding champagne and celebrating wildly with the fans on the roadside.

Everyone also followed Hayes to have fun.

When we got to the finish line at Madison Square Garden.

Su Ye stood on the stage.

He was elected as the team representative and stepped forward to speak on behalf of his teammates.

"Cough cough."

Su Ye knocked on the microphone twice, and after confirming that there was no problem, he smiled and talked to the fans.

"Thank you to New York, thank you to the Knicks, thank you to my teammates, and thank you to my country."

"This year, we are here again."

"Here, I want to say something first."

"We're finally going on vacation!"

As soon as this joke was said, the audience immediately burst into laughter.

Boss James Dolan also pointed at Su Ye, laughing and scolding: "This stinky boy."

After slightly stimulating the atmosphere at the scene, Su Ye turned around and introduced to the fans.

"First of all, I want to thank our team."

"Delong! Come here!"

As he spoke, Delong walked forward with a confused look on his face.

Su Ye put his arm around Delong's shoulders and shouted to the audience.

“In the old days, who knew about Deron Williams.”

"They all talk about Deron."

"Wow, Deron is a very skilled player, yes, his skills are really good."

"Player? No, he's a star!!!"

"But after tonight, I want to clarify something with everyone."

"Deron! He is the key to our Knicks."

The applause of the audience was thunderous.

Delong also didn't expect that Su Ye would call him out at this time.

He has always been criticized by fans for being just a good dribbler. At this moment, Su Ye has given him a whole new level.

Su Ye, who was standing on the stage, continued to talk.

"Randolph! Come here too!"

"I know you are all familiar with Randolph, but this year, he is the most powerful forward."

"You ask me why? Please prove to me why the most powerful striker you think did not win the final championship!"

While saying this, Su Ye also took the lead in showing off the ring on his hand.

Randolph also accompanied Su Ye by raising his left hand and beating his chest with his right hand to create momentum.

"Hayes! Oh! My old teammate."

"Does this still need an introduction?"

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Just a lackluster Triple Crown center."

With that said, Su Ye gave Hayes a kick in the butt and sent him back to the crowd.

Hayes, who likes to be funny, also pretends to be innocent.

The audience was also laughing constantly.

The phrase Triple Crown Center directly showed everyone his relationship with Hayes.

And Su Ye also took turns to introduce others.

At the end, Su Ye waved to Ray Allen, the quietest member of the team.

The graceful Ray Allen stood next to Su Ye with his head held high and his chest raised, and he took the initiative to stand back to give Su Ye the most conspicuous position.

When Su Ye discovered this detail, he directly hooked Ray Allen's shoulder, held up the microphone and asked the audience.

"Does any of you know how many three-pointers he hit in the playoffs this year?"

The audience in the audience was slightly startled and gave their own answers one after another.

"78?"

"90?"

"It feels like more than that."

Seeing that no one in the audience gave an accurate answer, Su Ye smiled and lectured to the audience.

"99!"

After saying this, the audience took a breath of air.

In this era, when three-pointers are gradually coming into view, everyone knows how happy it is to have a three-point shooter in a team.

But Su Ye just shook his finger and lectured to everyone.

"But, I remember."

"Three nights ago."

"Facing Kobe, he made eight three-pointers in a single game and killed the game."

"He's the three-point champion this year."

Ray Allen smiled politely after hearing this.

After being deliberately praised by Su Ye, he felt a little uncomfortable and hurriedly shied away from this title humbly.

"What did you say?"

"No! You take the microphone and say it!"

"Come!"

Su Ye handed the microphone to Ray Allen's mouth.

Ray Allen spoke to the audience humbly.

"No, this is all with the help of my teammates and coaches. I just do my job well."

When Su Ye heard this, he also laughed and teased from the side.

"Look, this is Ray Allen, so humble."

"I don't want you to beat the sandbags wildly and mutter when you go back tonight."

"Gah, die, why is it 99? Randolph, if you throw one less, I can make up a hundred."

As he spoke, Su Ye imitated Randolph's shooting posture.

First look down at the soles of your feet, then look up at the basket, and finally take a flat shot.

Finally, he shook his fist and looked like he was complaining, and told Ray Allen.

"Hou Li Crab, Lei, why do you shoot so accurately?"

As soon as this gag appeared, the entire audience burst into laughter.

Everyone knows that Randolph is also obsessed with mid-range shots in addition to the basket.

He was even called a joke by his opponents.

"When Randolph catches the ball, he lowers his head to shoot, and raises his head to push in."

Not far away, Randolph also covered his face in shame, not daring to reveal his words.

On the stage of this year's finals, in several offensive rounds, this guy shot more than once.

Whenever he misses a shot, he habitually looks at Ray Allen.

Everyone thought this ball was related to Ray Allen.

Under these ridicules, everyone stepped forward collectively to thank the fans.

The championship parade also comes to an end.

What follows is a long vacation.

After this time, James Dolan also took the initiative to invite Su Ye to have dinner together in the evening.

It's just that during this dinner, the two of them talked a little unpleasantly.

……

Three days later, in the New York Knicks high-level meeting.

James Dolan walked into the conference room with Su Ye who had a frosty face.

When many managers saw Su Ye's appearance, their eyes would inadvertently show a hint of surprise.

"Su Ye is here too today."

"That, let's do it first."

"You guys discuss it separately first, and we'll talk about contract renewal later."

With that said, James Dolan took Su Ye to the internal office.

Inside the office, Su Ye sat leisurely on the edge of the desk, flipping through a document.

James Dolan behind the table had a sad face.

"You see, it's not going to be easy this year."

"I know."

Su Ye looked at it for a while and frowned.

The documents are all information collected by Knicks.

The clear price tags of other teams are recorded above.

Let’s talk about Ray Allen, the current big star in the trading market.

With his current salary, James Dolan is willing to pay a salary of more than 1500 million to complete the contract extension.

However, this matter cannot be decided by him alone.

It requires a vote by management owners and shareholders. As the boss, James Dolan has only one veto power, or the final decision-making power.

Managing a team is not just about being the only one, but also taking care of the shareholders below.

But for now.

The management is only willing to give Ray Allen an annual salary of 1100 million, and there will be no more.

And not just that.

Randolph has 1000 million and Hayes has million.

These salary prices are completely a collective salary reduction for three people, with each person's salary reduction ranging from 500 million to 300 million.

As for the price offered by other teams, it is clear that they want to eat the Knicks alive.

Ray Allen's current highest bid is 1900 million.

Randolph's current highest bid is 1600 million.

Hayes' current highest bid is 1500 million.

Su Ye is not a shopping mall novice either.

He can also see that these teams are here to break up the team.

They don't want to see the Knicks also have the strength to compete for the championship next year.

"Su, you have no idea how shameless these people are."

With that said, James Dolan took out several offers from other teams from the safe.

The first offer before Su Ye was from Deron Williams.

Los Angeles Clippers, 2000 million price + two second-round picks.

Su Ye couldn't help but gasp when he saw this price.

To put it bluntly, if the Knicks sell Deron Williams now, they will definitely make a profit and get two second-round picks to use in future transactions.

After the trade market opens, the single signing of Delong is enough for them to purchase two more powerful players.

But when Su Ye saw the second copy, he couldn't help but sneer.

"The Heat really dare to give a price."

The second deal is about yourself.

The Heat offered 4000 million plus three first-round picks to get Su Ye to join the Heat.

If this transaction report leaks out, it will definitely cause a huge wave.

But Su Ye also knew that his current ability should have such a price.

But two deals plus three extensions.

If the Knicks really do the deal, they will definitely make a profit without losing anything.

But they will need to reorganize their team in the next ten years.

After winning this championship, other teams made it clear that they wanted to reorganize and dismantle the Knicks.

"Boss, you know."

"Brothers come out just to make ends meet."

"There's really no way to negotiate this price."

With that said, Su Ye put the report back.

James Dolan was willing to show him this, which also showed that he wanted to keep Su Ye.

It's just that the situation is urgent now. It doesn't mean that you can survive it just because you can survive it.

If the three people there don't have the idea of ​​reducing their salaries, the Knicks may break up.

James Dolan also wanted to give Su Ye an early warning.

After a moment of silence, James Dolan sighed helplessly.

"I know too."

"I'm just talking. I'll try again with the shareholders."

"Mainly, there's nothing I can do."

The situation is very tense now.

They both knew it very well.

It is impossible for three people to reduce their salaries at the same time.

After all, no one plays in the NBA just to make money.

The problem is that these people have all received high bids.

It's not like the Knicks can keep him if they want to.

Su Ye also didn't want to get involved in this matter.

It must be easy for him to speak.

But if he opens his mouth, his teammates who won the championship with him will lose millions in income, which is something he doesn't want to see.

"I'm going."

"You go back and have a good rest."

"I'll try my best."

With that said, James Dolan patted Su Ye on the shoulder and strode outside the conference room.

Su Ye also sighed helplessly.

……

In the days when the trading window is about to open, there is also a lot of heated discussion from the outside world.

Every day there will always be new breaking news revealed by the media outside, allowing fans to discuss it.

Su Ye would also take a look at his cell phone from time to time.

There is a lot of news about the Knicks, but none of it is reliable. They are all the conjectures of some sports media individuals.

Until one day, Su Ye just came back from training and received a call from Hayes.

"Boss, are you free for a meal tonight?"

Su Ye was slightly startled.

Hayes on the phone no longer had his original playful smile, but his tone became more serious.

"Yes, I have."

"How should I say, only a few days."

"Just thinking about brothers?"

Seeing how relaxed Su Ye was, the two of them laughed and chatted for a while.

After hanging up the phone, Su Ye wiped his sweat with a towel.

Sitting on the bench in the locker room, he let out a long breath.

"It seems that Hayes has decided to leave..."

Five years have passed by in a blink of an eye.

In fact, Su Ye also knew that Hayes would not stay with him forever.

I just didn’t expect that Hayes, who had been my teammate for five years...

He was the first one to call himself.
