Chapter 175 After the championship, there are...they are coming!

After the press conference, Otis pointedly motioned to Li Wan to walk slowly, as if he had something to say.

Li Wanyi initially thought it was related to Turkoglu's contract renewal. Unexpectedly, it was indeed a contract renewal issue, but it was not a matter of Turkoglu's contract renewal.

It's Li Wan's own contract renewal issue. - Also, given the pride of the Magic's management, how can it possibly discuss a deal with the players?

Even if this person is Li Wan, it won't work!

I want to see if I can complete the transaction standing up!

I can't help it, I'm just so brave...

Li Wan originally signed a 3 plus 1 contract with the Lakers, which is commonly used by rookies. The first three years are fully guaranteed, and the last year is a team option. Another type of 2 plus 2 contract has a similar meaning. The first two years are completely guaranteed.

Guaranteed, with team option for the final two years.

Um……

During the "child labor contract", players had no human rights.

Li Wan is currently in a state where he has just finished the second year of his rookie contract, and there are still two years left before this contract ends.

but……

Who made him raise his head so much!

2008 "Rookie of the Year", 2008 All-Star Rookie Challenge MVP, 2007~08 All-Rookie First Team, 2007~08 All-Rookie First Team, 2008 All-Star Western Conference starter, 2009 All-Star MVP,

2009 All-Star Eastern Conference starter, 2009 All-NBA Second Team, 2008~09 season champion and finals MVP...

In just two years, we have already won so many titles. Although this is not yet great, we are clearly on the road to greatness!

As "the best general manager in the history of the Magic", Otis must have the middle number in AC in mind.

When Li Wanyi heard that it was about an early contract extension, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Man, I still have two years before my rookie contract ends!" He didn't think Otis was willing to let him out of his rookie contract early.

The last year. Even if he is willing, the Magic team owner will not be willing.

Of course, if you really want to say it...

It’s okay not to jump!

In the summer of 2011, which is July when Li Wan's rookie contract officially ends, the league will have an uneven distribution of spoils due to the expiration of the "labor agreement", and there will be a long period of wrangling.

It was not until the end of November that the shutdown ended.

After this lockout, the biggest change for Li Wan must be the birth of the "Ross Clause".

His current situation has met the conditions of the "Ross Clause".

In other words, he can sign a big contract with a starting salary of US$17.4 million by then...

It’s probably the starting salary of Chris Paul’s third career contract!

Isn’t this better than renewing the contract in advance?

but……

When Li Wan thought of this, a question suddenly came to his mind...

If he also fits this situation...

Then the "Ross Clause" will probably have to be renamed, right?

Otis was also not surprised by Li Wan's reaction. He didn't have the ability to predict the future, but he knew in his heart that it was too early to talk about this matter now.

Can……

As the "best general manager in the league", Otis has been reminding himself:

Be careful not to follow the old path of the Magic general manager...

The time to renew the contract is early, and the time to return is early, whether to say it or not is a matter of attitude!

There are two words involved here:

respect!

The two of them said nothing more. Otis patted Li Wan on the shoulder and thanked him for his support and encouragement in his work.

The Magic team returned to Orlando that night, and Li Wan did not accompany the team. One reason was that he was too tired and did not want to fly again, and the other reason was that he also happened to have a house in Los Angeles.

It’s definitely not because Taylor is in LA too…

Just like this, the Magic fans who were still waiting at the Orlando Airport in the middle of the night were a little disappointed.

The rest of the Magic team are also contributors, but the person they want to see the most right now...

Undoubtedly the "youngest FMVP in history" who made the world focus on Orlando!

Howard was also aware of this, not because he was so sharp, but because he looked around and saw that in the sea of ​​people, about 70% of the fans had posters showing Li Wan alone, or Li Wan with him.

There are probably less than 20% of the fans holding up his personal posters.

If this continues, this place will really become Li Wan's city!

Can……

It's obviously me first!

Ferment overnight.

Early the next morning, the game was being reported across the United States.

ESPN released the data and let everyone know that the real-time viewing data of this game in the United States is second only to the last game of the "God of Basketball" in 1998, ranking second in NBA history.

This caused quite a stir.

It was also at this time that other media in the sports industry discovered...

After Michael Jordan retired, David Stern once again allowed the NBA to have a good-sized base in the United States through his unswerving "export-to-domestic sales" strategy.

In overseas markets, the NBA's influence has surpassed that of football and baseball, the traditional giants of the American sports industry...

David Stern: No one understands the international market better than me!

Major media outlets, led by Orlando, used Li Wan's phrase "LA, this is for you" as their headlines to ridicule the Los Angeles Lakers.

The whole article is all about one sentence:

Los Angeles, there are times when you get stepped on like crazy!

What a pleasure!

What a joy!

The Los Angeles media publicly accused the league of favoritism and inaction on the Magic's "illegal cover" and Li Wan's final "suspicious move."

Unfortunately, I didn't get any response.

The famous "LeBron James" Skip Bayless said: "In fact, what Li Wan should be grateful to most is LeBron. Without him, "Li Wanbu" would not have appeared at all, and he would not have been able to win at the last moment.

Use similar novel moves to get rid of Kobe!"

Under his reminder, LeBron James was pushed to the forefront.

Some media bluntly said that LeBron is "the wall cannot be supported by mud!"

The league worked hard to help him solve his walking problem, but what was the result?

Lost in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

There are also some media outlets that are mocking the league.

In order to praise LeBron, I even lost my face...

But in the end, it was not God's luck. Because of the changes in the walking rules, the evil Li Wan actually developed the "devil's steps" in just over two months.

And even LeBron James was eliminated by him...

It can only be said that there is a certain destiny!

It is worth mentioning that the famous American cartoon satirist also specially drew a cartoon: the Bulls No. 23 jersey hanging high, the Q version of Li Wan holding the No. 23 jersey in his hand, ready to pull over his head, at his feet,

What he stepped on was the Cavaliers' No. 23 jersey.

Next to it is written what Li Wan said when dressing up: This number 23, Michael Jordan wears it, LeBron wears it, can't I, Li Wan, wear it?

This passage quickly spread and was regarded as the Bible by many media outlets.

It has the potential to make classics last forever.

Of course, there have been some criticisms against "Li Wanbu". They believe that the league should adjust the walking rules back, because "Li Wanbu" proved that this is challenging the basic gameplay of basketball.

He is even willing to dribble while walking with the ball!

The completely rugby-style dribbling has become rationalized due to the league's changes to the walking rules. It is really too annoying.

Those old basketball players who have been in this industry for more than ten years or even decades said they cannot accept it.

Don't even say it...

These criticisms were heard, and there was a response that afternoon. It seems that official officials privately revealed that they are considering restoring the original definition of walking.
To be continued...
