Chapter 137 The new contract is finalized

Domestically, portal websites unscrupulously dubbed Tang Qian a "backboard monster."

He also praised Tang Qian lavishly and spoke with great joy, as if Tang Qian had become an NBA All-Star player.

Ignore this place and go check out the major forums and forums. There are even more people there.

"Oh my God, Tang Ji grabbed 27 rebounds in the first half. Is he still a human being?" Some netizens left a loud message.

"Please tell me the NBA half-time rebound record!"

"Here comes the record you want. The NBA half-court rebound record is held by the ancient beast Bill Russell. The specific number is 32 times. Don't thank me for the above, my name is Lei Feng!"

"This is really awesome! You've never gotten so many rebounds in Tuyao, right?"

"Let me report, Tuyao got 22 rebounds. Of course, that was in the 4th quarter!"

"Is Tang Ji's new contract settled now? 27 rebounds, tsk tsk tsk!"

"It should be fine. I looked at the Weibo posts of several famous basketball commentators and they all said it can be done."

"Huh, that would be great! I wonder how big the contract Tang Ji can get in the end? One million? Or ten million?"

"I mean, you think too highly of Tang Qian, don't you?" At this moment, a discordant voice appeared. A person named "Tang Qian is a Squib" suddenly came out and said, "Good luck.

Are you boasting about one outburst? Tony Delk even scored 53 points! Scott Skiles also scored the highest single-game 30 assists in NBA history! However, how many of you know about them?

Name? These are all legitimate players from the regular draft. He is a non-draft player who played a good game, and he is so praised by you? For a multi-million contract? I am really drunk, isn't it ridiculous?"

"What happened to the non-draft players? Can't non-draft players play well? Can't they get big contracts? The logic is really touching!" Someone immediately jumped out and argued that "Tang Qian is a squib".

"Of course." "Tang Qian is a squib" replied: "But from a probability perspective, this possibility is so low that it can be ignored!"

"Are you still Chinese? You don't want Tang Ji to fight out???"

"I hope he will be Chinese when he is beaten? If he is not beaten, he will not be Chinese? I think your logic is touching! Haha!" "Tang Qian is a squib" and said to the Confucian scholars: "I just don't want you to have expectations.

Gao, ended up in a disappointing end, represented by Yi Di’s group of fans. But I don’t care if you want to be a fan, but if you end up following in the same footsteps, don’t blame me for not reminding you!”

"This person is Tang Hei. I have read several of his replies. Without exception, they are all from Tang Hei!"

"It turns out to be Heizi! No wonder he's so excited!"

"But...don't you think what he said actually makes sense? How did Yi Di come in? I remember he played well at the beginning, but what happened in the end? He couldn't even stay in the NBA.

!This can be called a lesson learned from the past! I think we are still too optimistic.”

Some netizens who were not very determined began to waver.

"I'd better wait and see. A discussion is indeed not very good."

"It's not just a one-term argument, but a half-term argument, okay? It's easy to break out, but it's hard to sustain it!"

"I hope Tang Ji will not follow in the footsteps of Emperor Yi!"

"Tang Ji will definitely not! I believe him!"

"That's impossible to say! It's better to lower your expectations a little!"



Since there were back-to-back games the next day, all members of the Lakers team flew back to Los Angeles that night.

On February 20th, at 8:30 pm, the Lakers faced the Trail Blazers at home.

However, Tang Qian was unsure whether he could continue to participate in this game.

On the morning of February 20, Tang Qian got up and walked into the Lakers training ground.

"Hi, Tong, good morning~" Gasol took the initiative to say hello after seeing Tang Qian.

"Good morning to you too, Paul." Tang Qian replied casually, but it was obvious that his mind was not in this place.

According to the regulations of the ten-day short contract, his contract will expire after three games, and last night's game against Phoenix was the third game of Tang Qian's second short contract. If the Lakers choose not to

If he continues to sign, he can only become a "tramp" and try his luck with other teams.

Originally, Tang Qian thought that after last night's game, he could "surprise everyone with his skills" and "all surrender", and the Lakers management would renew his contract without saying anything. But the reality is cruel, let alone Los Angeles.

The Lakers, and even among other teams in the league, only the Charlotte Bobcats were willing to contact him. However, the focus of their phone call was obviously to ask "whether I am an orthodox Chinese." A series of "blows" made Tang

Qian quickly came out of his "slight pride". He began to recognize the reality and first waited for the "judgment" of the Los Angeles Lakers.

"By the way, why isn't Bryant here?" Tang Qian asked.

"He, he went to the general manager's office." The Spaniard said with a smile: "Help you get the contract."

"Help me get the contract?" Tang Qian said a little flattered after hearing this.

"Yes, after watching last night's game, Kobe thinks you have the value to stay."

"Yes, really."

"Of course it's true." After last night's game, the Spaniard's favorability towards Tang Qian has greatly increased. An inside partner who does not compete for the ball but is willing to defend hard is exactly what he needs. Last night against the Suns, that was

It proved that since he was greatly liberated on the defensive end, he could concentrate on attacking. He was very satisfied with his 30+ points.

"After all, it was Matt who said it himself, and Kobe and I will respect his opinion."

"Matt?" Tang Qian was stunned and said, "He is helping me?"

"Of course." Gasol said with a smile: "But your own efforts are what impressed Kobe and me. At least as far as the team is concerned, you have no problem."

"Thank you, Paul." Tang Qian was silent for a while and said seriously.

"It's okay, I'm willing to be your teammate." Pau Gasol said.



Los Angeles Lakers, General Manager's Office.

"Mitch, how about the hot contract extension issue? There is a game tonight, and I hope the management can give me an answer."

The person speaking in the general manager's office is the Lakers' No. 24, the Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant.

"Didn't I send you a text message about this matter? The management is currently discussing it. Once there is a result, we will notify you as soon as possible." Mitch Kupchak sat on the leather chair without raising his head.

road.

"Mitch, it's okay for you to lie to a newcomer like this, but you don't have to lie to me, right?" Kobe seemed to understand the other person's character very well, and had no intention of leaving. Instead, he continued to say: "Who in the entire Lakers team doesn't?"

You know, you are the 'dictatorship general manager', you don't need to sign anyone else, you don't need to ask about who you want to sign, right?"

Seeing that Kobe Bryant had no intention of leaving, Mitch Kupchak finally raised his head, looked at the former and said, "Then what do you mean?"

"Are you asking for my opinion?" Kobe couldn't help but replied sarcastically: "This is not your Mitch Kupchak style."

Kupchak didn't pay attention to Kobe's answer and continued: "You want to keep that Chinese guy?"

"Yes, that's it." Kobe nodded honestly.

"Why? Because he played a good game last night?" Mitch Kupchak said.

"No, I just think the Lakers need him, that's all." Kobe said.

"Don't the Lakers have enough inside players? Not to mention Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, Troy Murphy, there is also a Josh McRoberts and a Devin Ebanks. You

As you know, a team's official roster can only have 12 players, and now 5 of them are occupied by inside players. If they sign more hot money, it will reach half. In this way, for coach Mike Brown's ranking,

The formation of troops is very unfavorable, and the lineup has too many insiders, which can easily lead to an imbalance in the team's offense and defense. You should understand this, right? Bryant."

"Isn't there still an unactivated list?" Kobe said: "If it doesn't work, it's okay to cut one or two people."

"Anyway, some people in the team are just waiting to die. It's just an eyesore."

"Lay off?" Mitch Kupchak said: "What if the Chinese guy is like Sun Yat-sen and can't play?"

"Can't play? That's better than McRoberts, Ebanks, and Troy Murphy." Kobe sneered and said: "The three of them played nearly 48 minutes together, but what about scoring?

?What about the rebounds? What about the assists? The total is worse than shit! You spent so much money to sign people, it seems like you have been taken advantage of!"

"Bryant, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I don't know people well?" Mitch Kupchak was also a little annoyed and looked directly at Kobe Bryant.

"Yes, Mr. Kupchak, that's what I mean." Kobe looked directly at the other party without caring: "Since you are the general manager, then I will settle the score with you! Troy Murphy is 135 this season

US$10,000, Josh McRoberts US$3 million this season, Devin Ebanks US$760,000 this season, the three of them together need to pay US$5.11 million this season. Lamar only needs to pay US$8.9 million a year.

US dollars, his data alone is higher than the data of these three people combined, you actually didn’t keep him??? I really don’t know what you think! If you are reluctant to part with these more than 3 million US dollars, I can do it myself

Go talk to Mr. Buss! How are you now? Without Lamar, the best sixth man, our bench depth has plummeted. Not to mention compared with the Celtics, even the Clippers are far ahead of us!

Is this your Mitch Kupchak masterpiece???"

"Bryant, do you want me to tell you several times? Lamar applied to leave the team on his own and has nothing to do with our management!" Mitch Kupchak said with a very ugly face after hearing Kobe mention the old story again.

"It has nothing to do with it? Yes, Lamar applied to leave the team on his own, but what about you? There was not even a symbolic attempt to retain him! Do you think he can continue to stay in the Lakers if you do this? You management personnel,

They are all human beings with dog lungs, a bunch of machines who don’t know what friendship is!!!” Although Kobe has little say in the management, it does not mean that he is afraid of the latter, at least the latter dare not take him

Put it on the shelves, otherwise what awaits you is the endless anger of Los Angeles fans.

"Bryant, I know you are still upset about that matter, but I also have my own reasons." Mitch Kupchak is a mature team general manager after all, so he quickly suppressed his anger.

He said calmly: "Take the matter of China Permanent as an example. There is indeed no problem if I sign him, but have you ever thought about whether everyone in the Lakers team is willing to do it?"

"What do you mean?" Kobe asked in a deep voice.

"It's not interesting. I just want to say that your thinking is too simple." Mitch Kupchak said: "If the main players are very repulsive to this Chinese, I always have to consider his feelings and opinions. You said

Right? After all, basketball can only be played by five people."

"Rejected by the main players?" Kobe frowned slightly and said, "Who would reject it? Me, Paul, Meta, and Derek all have no objections to this kid. That would be... wait." Kobe paused and said.

: "Are you talking about Andrew Bynum?"

"Oh~Bryant, I didn't say anything." Mitch Kupchak shrugged.

"Huh, I know even if you don't tell me! This idiot has too many things on his plate!" Kobe snorted.

"So." Mitch Kupchak said with a smile again on his face: "That's why I said that the management needs to consider and discuss."

"After all, it's not what the management should do to make an absolute main player lose his temper, is it?"

"Ha, it seems like you really value him~ But..." Kobe changed the topic and whispered: "You seem to have done it the other way around."

"Now I am the king of Los Angeles."

Kobe's eyes were as sharp as King Arthur's sword in the stone.
