Chapter 944 The chapter of the free market will continue to be delivered~ OK~
But this storm is just a small episode in the free market in the summer of 2014, because the real storm happened on July 11, US time, shortly after the end of this year’s freeze period. Sports Illustrated exclusively reported, I’M.E! Then LeBron
.James confirmed the news on his Instagram.
All of a sudden, the news broke! The entire basketball world was completely turned upside down by this news!
James is back home! This sentence quickly became one of the popular entries!
This shocked many aspects.
The first is the Heat. Although "Magic Calculator" Riley has publicly declared before that "you should stay together, if you are really men and have the courage, leaving in a hurry after failure is a cowardly act." However, it seems that
James didn't fall into the "provocative approach" at all. He still went his own way and decided to leave the Heat. Before that, Wade was deceived by him. He jumped out of the contract without getting James's promise to stay with the team. Now it seems
, which is simply stupid behavior.
But Wade still claimed afterwards: Of course he did, and he chose to forgive him.
However, some Heat reporters broke the news that a lot of things happened on the evening of July 9. James repeated what he said after losing in the Finals, "We must improve every position." Among them, the head coach and
Bosh. Of course, Bosh had to leave because on the night after the finals, Bosh was not depressed or sad. Instead, he felt lucky and satisfied that he could reach the finals for four consecutive times. So he angered James at that time.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the head coach.
James' condition was that Pat Riley step forward and take over as coach again, but Riley did not agree.
This made James feel even more angry, because he is the kind of person who cannot tolerate the other party violating him. In addition, what may be the only opportunity in his life to win three consecutive championships was cut off. James left the game angrily, and the conflict completely intensified.
This is also a key point where James cannot get along with great coaches, because he may not have thought about it himself. How can a great coach, a great godfather-level figure, be influenced by a player? This is absolutely impossible.
matter.
Riley is very aware of the personalities of himself and James. If he is behind the scenes, it will be okay. But in front of the scenes, with his iron-blooded coaching style, there is no guarantee that he will fight with James. So he can only let Eric Spoelstra
Use Stella as a "buffer zone".
Of course, James would make the decision to return to the Cavaliers so quickly, which made Riley instantly understand that the former had been preparing with both hands.
Otherwise, how could everything be planned so perfectly? Even the slogans are so "sensational"?
Go home?Hometown basketball???Nima’s promise to come to the Heat was eaten by a dog???Brothers don’t want basketball anymore???
Anyway, James' decision to return home and return to Cleveland suddenly became a major topic of discussion in the entire basketball world.
Regarding this, many stars were asked about their opinions. Tang Qian put it bluntly, maybe deliberately to disgust James: I don't find it strange at all, because this is a good thing for fans who have not watched football in several years.
.Think about what they will find when they turn on the TV, oh, it turns out that KING is still in Cleveland. This is a good thing. You ask me what I think about brother basketball and hometown basketball? Although I know you are deliberately trying to trick me, but I just
Please graciously satisfy your ESPN for once. My answer is, obviously, hometown basketball brother basketball. Who said that? KING said it with practical actions.
After returning home, Tang Qian sneered as he watched the news of James "coming home" that was constantly broadcast on TV.
So in this time and space, you are still the same? I never dislike your decision 1, but decision 2 is unpopular.
With a utilitarian like you as the leader of the alliance, it is strange that the atmosphere of the alliance remains unchanged and in chaos.
But it doesn't matter. Someone will correct the atmosphere of this league in the future. Just enjoy your "hometown basketball" first.
…
Chris Bosh is also very busy during this time, because he has also received offers from many teams, including the Rockets, Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers. Joining the Rockets and Lakers, he cannot enjoy the benefits of Bosh.
With German terms, you will have to lose a lot of money. Joining the Heat can get the maximum "dollar value". However, the Heat left James, and now Wade is old, and there is still an important player missing from the bench.
If Ray Allen stays with the Heat, he will basically have no championship.
And to be honest, Bosh doesn't really care about the money.
At this point, he knows his position very well. As the boss, he is already old. The most he can do to stay with the Heat is to help the team survive for a few more years. At most, he can earn a few more second and third teams. Basically, he doesn’t have to think about it for the first time.
.Going to the Rockets to join forces with Harden and Howard, he thought about it for a long time, but decided to give up because he no longer wanted to be the "third boss". If he went to the Rockets, he would definitely be the "third boss". This condition made him
Not happy. How about staying with the Heat? Wait... Or, how about trying the Lakers? I can definitely become the "second boss" of that team. Well, I'll think about it again, think about it again.
The Lakers also did some things during this period. First, they renewed the contracts of some of the original Lakers players. The Lakers gave Nick Young a 4-year long contract for a total of 20 million, which specifically stated that if Nick
.If Yang maintains a 40% shooting rate and scores 30 three-pointers in the playoffs, he can activate a 1 million incentive award. If he scores 50 three-pointers, he will be rewarded 2 million U.S. dollars. If he scores 60 or more three-pointers, he can
The activation fee is 3 million US dollars. Although it does not seem like a lot, it is the same price for Nick Young to go to other teams. Besides, the Lakers gave him the guaranteed long-term contract he wanted most, plus a good incentive payment.
He quickly nodded in agreement and signed the contract. At the same time, Thackeray also received a verbal commitment to renew his contract next year. Similar to the memory of Tang Qian in the original time and space, the Lakers also received Jeremy Lin, who was almost free of charge, and a new player next year.
The Rockets' first-round draft pick. They only lost a little cash and the right to sign overseas rookies. The Rockets' move was to clear salary space to easily recruit Chris Bosh. This is equivalent to making the Lakers cheap.
However, Jeremy Lin has performed very poorly in the past few years with the Rockets, so his contract has basically become a "junk contract."
He will definitely not be able to get this 15 million salary next year. Of course, only 8.37 million of this contract is credited to the salary cap, which is why the Lakers are willing to take his contract. If 800+ is credited to the salary cap, that's still
It's passable. Now the Lakers are in urgent need of backcourt reinforcements, and Jeremy Lin is a good candidate. At least he can get it first.
Jody Meeks was also paid 5 million per year to stay.
As for some other role players, they were all signed with basic salaries. They also knew their abilities and succumbed without any resistance, and then signed the contract. So far, the salary of the Lakers team in 2014-2015 is still very low.
The potential is 12.3 million, Nick Young is almost 5 million, Jordan Hill is 9 million, Meeks is 5 million, Jeremy Lin is 8.37 million, and some basic salaries add up to only 2-3 million. 40 million
In this way, the new season's poverty line of US$56.759 million is still short of that. Therefore, we must quickly strengthen and continue to attract "fish" in the free market.
In the Lakers meeting room, because Tang Qian is basically the next number one core member, he is qualified to sit here.
When he heard that Gasol was actually going to be traded for the "glass man" Rose, Tang Qian jumped out to object at that time, saying very forcefully that Rose was not worth the price and that he would have to trade with someone else from the Bulls.
Replace with someone else? Who? Tang Qian directly said that he wanted Bulls rookie Jimmy Butler. If he could come, it would be best to hire veteran Hinrich to improve the team's experience. This caused a debate among the Lakers' management.
Everyone thinks that Rose is still young and may not be able to recover. Taking it now may be the best opportunity to take advantage.
When Tang Qian heard this, he poured a basin of cold water on it and said, "If it doesn't get better, you deserve to suffer the loss and die as a mute."
After all, Butler hasn't played well in the 13-14 season and has no personal honors. If we don't win him at this time, we will suffer a big loss. Because Butler's defense is much better than Rose.
Besides, Luo Tangqian knew that he would be injured later. Wouldn't he be crazy if he took it? This is his team from now on, and he doesn't want the team to spend high salary to raise a "living ancestor" in vain.
And Tang Qian guaranteed that Butler is willing to come out and leave Chicago now. Because he clearly remembers that a very serious thing happened in the offseason this season. That is, the Bulls management wanted to spend 44 million in four years.
Butler renewed his contract in advance, but the general trend in the league is clearly that the contract price is rising all the time, so Butler refused. However, at this time, the Bulls' internal uniform team began to "intimidate" Butler: If you
If he does not renew his contract, Tony Snell will take his place in the team, and he also threatens to reduce Butler's playing time, causing his data to decline overall, resulting in him being unable to sell anything in the free market.
Come at a "good price" (you can check this for yourself). If the Bulls head coach Thibodeau hadn't been fierce enough and insisted not to implement the management's "executive order", Butler would never have been able to get the original time and space.
That maximum-salary contract won't be revealed until next year, so now, except for Tang Qian, few outsiders know about it.
The Bulls have always had the habit of cheating players, starting with Pippen.
So it's a good time to start now, at least you can win it with much less money than you will spend next year when he comes out.
This is the real sure profit without loss.
Tang Qian's memory only lasts until September next year, and he can just make use of this period of time.
Of course, he also persuaded the rest of the management to get in touch, such as Kyle Lowry of the Raptors whose contract has expired, Ariza and Okafor of the Wizards, and Granger of the Pacers. But for now,
Look, I haven't received any response yet.
Because of Tang Qian's remarks that "the Lakers are my team", many big names no longer considered joining the Purple and Gold Army, because for them, being the "second boss and third boss" for Kobe Bryant made sense. Tang Qian
?You are a third-year student, who do you think you are? Are you worthy? If the big names don't come, veterans and role players will wait and make choices, and they won't respond easily.
But Tang Qian didn't care. As long as he truly grew up, these people would be "arrogant at first and respectful at the end".
Then it's time to challenge them yourself.
Hehe, that scene makes me feel happy just thinking about it!
As for another big topic tonight, letting Chris Bosh join, Tang Qian is a little interested. After all, this is something that did not exist in the history of the original time and space. In this time and space, because Kobe retired early, everything happened
The "butterfly effect".
The Lakers have enough salary space to acquire Bosh.
Regarding this proposal, Tang Qian said that he had no objection and he was looking forward to the management showing off their talents.
Anyway, when a player of Bosh's level comes, it is impossible for him to suppress his own ability and honor. Therefore, Bosh is not impossible to consider. As for the previous grievances, Tang Qian still treats his teammates more
Is it possible to "forgive generously"?
Not everyone is Dwight Howard? Right.
In addition, Bosh's mobility and outside shooting ability are both very good and excellent in Tang Qian's opinion, so that he can stay at the basket more without having to cooperate with Gasol, which is needed in the long term.
Move out and help Gasol wipe his ass.
Trading is not something that happens overnight, Tang Qian still has to do his own thing.
Until the end of July, a full month and a half after the finals, he was training like crazy. If Taylor hadn't dragged him out a few times, he would have been in the training hall. Such hard training, plus a set of
Thanks to the meticulous training plans and combinations of professionals, Tang Qian's physical fitness has improved a lot during this period. Mainly in terms of strength and weight, the speed of improvement has shocked these ace trainers who previously felt that they were a bit "incompetent"
Endless.
Tang Qian has already listened to Li Qiuping and Zhou Zhiru's advice on the physical test data. If it is not revealed publicly, it will be more mysterious and less known to others. It is also a "secret weapon". Anyway, if you don't tell it, you will not lose a piece of meat, and it can also increase people's "discussions"
" can be regarded as a way to increase popularity. Because humans are animals, the more ambiguous and lack of detailed answers, the more energetic they are to talk about. On the contrary, when the strength is fully disclosed and acknowledged, the value of discussion becomes smaller.
Many stars in the NBA follow this path, and their physical data is almost kept secret.
For example, James is one of them. He did not even participate in the rookie physical test. All physical data are mostly guesses.
Although Tang Qian doesn't care so much about popularity and commercial value, he is not opposed to improvement, as long as it doesn't delay his playing and practicing. He is still very cooperative with the rest.
In the weight room, Tim Glover looked at some of Tang Qian's latest statistics and said, "You have gained almost 10 pounds in just over a month. Are you really not uncomfortable at all?"
"Generally, it's good to gain 5 to 10 pounds in one offseason. You..." Tang Qian continued today's strength training nonchalantly: "It's only 279 pounds, less than 280 pounds. What's the point?"
"Jiu, how about another ten pounds?"
"Another? Another ten pounds???" Tim Glover shouted a little lost his voice: "Do you think you are selling pork? It is difficult for you to maintain your body after gaining so much weight in one go.
The burden is also huge! Besides, the further you go, the slower and more cautious you have to be to gain weight! Otherwise, you will not crush yourself first!!!"
"Anyway, I think, well." Tang Qian did a bench press and said, "I can continue to increase the amount. There is nothing uncomfortable with my body."
"You, are you a madman? What you are doing is unscientific! Do you understand???"
"I've said it before, don't judge me by ordinary people's standards. My body, well, is one of the rare human specimens in the history of the entire league." Tang Qian was not lying to him. Chamberlain became the first person in his fifth season.
It reached 320 pounds. Although he lost weight to 292 pounds before the start of the game due to discomfort, but what era was that? Chamberlain officially entered the 300-pound mark in his sixth season, and it certainly won't take him that long.
Therefore, just because these top professionals are here, he will continue to "hang on"!
"You are really crazy! I want to tell you, if you have any problems or discomfort, you are responsible for it! I don't care about you!" After Tim Glover said this, Tang Qian was bench pressing.
He said on the bed: "Don't worry, come as you please, don't be polite to me!"
"This crazy guy!!!" Tim Glover cursed in a low voice after hearing this.
domestic.
The information manager yelled into the phone: "You have been in the United States for so long, how come there is no movement??? What??? The other party is difficult to deal with? I don't care!!! You must deal with him before the end of August, otherwise
Just die in America!!!”
With a bang, the manager hung up the phone. As soon as he threw the phone away, he slapped the table angrily and said: "Damn! Damn the World Cup in Spain! Damn Tang Qian! Damn Chen Xin! Damn the Lakers! Damn the United States.
!!!Asshole!!!Asshole!!!”
Magic City.
A giant who was taller than Tang Qian was on the phone at the moment: "Well, I know, I will take care of it over there. As long as he steps down, I am sure that Tang Qian will return. It is not that he is unwilling to serve the country."
What’s ineffective is that the current domestic system is really bad.”
"Xiao Yao, I understand what you said. Let's leave this matter alone for now. We will talk about everything after you come up." The voice on the phone said: "Don't do anything wrong recently. After all, he has been the leader for so many years.
There is still some energy, so in the last few months, you can’t take it lightly, lest you fall short of your success.”
"Well, I know, don't worry, I will do it." Yao Ming hung up the phone after saying that. At the same time, he watched the Spanish Basketball World Cup promotional video on TV and murmured: "Break and then stand, die and then stand."
In later life, the darkest dawn must be passed, otherwise... there is no way to regain a new life and completely change one's self."
"Tang Qian... Tang Qian of the Los Angeles Lakers... I hope that after I pave the way, you can lead Chinese basketball to rise again."
