NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 918 If I Can't Kill Him, I Lose

938 If I Can't Kill Him, I Lose!
As soon as the agent heard it, he knew that the Kings must have communicated with James to sign James, so there was only 2 million space.

So he broke the news to Chris Paul.

Paul was overjoyed when he heard the news alone.

With Wang Yi and James, plus him, can we still not win the championship?

And he has a very good relationship with James, the former banana boat brothers.

Who can not love playing with good brothers.

So he said to his agent: "When the free market starts on July 7, we will fly to Sacramento to talk."

……

At the same time, in the past few days, the urine testing agency NWP sent by the NBA and the urine testing agency AWP sent by the American Athletic Federation have begun to conduct irregular urine tests on Wang Yi and Thomas.

The date for the two-person match has been decided, and it will be July 7.

……

Finally, the time has come to July 7th.

The NBA trading market is open.

Paul's and James' agents, along with the two men, set off for Sacramento at the same time.

In the most upscale hotel in Sacramento, Wang Yi and general manager Divas first met with James and the others, and then met with Paul and the others.

The meeting time with James was not too long. After all, there was no dispute about their contract with James, and a maximum salary was guaranteed.

Even though James is quite old, he is top-notch wherever he goes.

And the commercial value he brings to the team far exceeds his salary, so it is absolutely impossible for him to accept a salary cut.

And the meeting time with veteran Paul was very long, and the two sides went through several rounds of negotiations.

In the end, the veteran Paul's contract was signed for 2 million US dollars.

In this case, the Kings need to pay a luxury tax of $500 million.

But $500 million is drizzle for it tycoon Ranadive.

In fact, the negotiation between Paul and the team went smoothly. After all, Paul wanted to win a championship, so he took the initiative to ask to join the Kings.

The contract will not be signed immediately after the two parties have negotiated.

Because there is still a period of trading freeze period after the trading market opens.

During the trade freeze period, players can only negotiate certain intentions with the team, but cannot sign a contract.

Only after the trade freeze period ends can free agents actually sign a contract with the team.

The so-called trade freeze period does not mean that this player cannot be traded.

But after the door of the trading market is opened, because the league will review the total income of the league and the income of each team to determine the salary cap and luxury tax collection line for the next season.

This will take a while.

During this time, players cannot sign with the team.

This is called the transaction freeze period.

Finally, on July 7, the transaction freeze period ended.

According to the league's newly determined salary cap and luxury tax threshold, the Kings will actually exceed the luxury tax threshold by $700 million next season.

Then the Kings will have to pay $700 million in luxury tax next season.

Of course, this is in terms of the King's current lineup.

The Kings will definitely have other operations in the future. If the operation is done properly and the total salary of all the players in the team is controlled below the luxury tax threshold, then there is no need to pay another $700 million in luxury tax.

But even if it is unavoidable to pay 700 million US dollars, the boss can take it out, it's just a drizzle.

On July 7, when the trading freeze period ends.

The alliance was quickly detonated by two news.

It's official NBA: LeBron James has signed with the Kings

It's official NBA: Chris Paul signs with Kings

As soon as these two news came out, there was a storm in the entire league.

All the fans are also discussing enthusiastically.

"I'm going, this is the Kings securing a three-peat."

"It's over, it's over, the NBA is coming to an end."

"I thought James would definitely come, but I didn't expect Paul to come too."

Of course there are also different voices.

"Even three consecutive championships doesn't mean how good Wang Yi is. He used three lineups for the three consecutive championships. The starting lineup is different every year."

Someone immediately replied: "Are you stupid? This is a better indication of how strong Wang Yi's ability to lead the team is. You can match the lineup as you like. If you can't win the championship, I will lose."

These two news made fans discuss for a whole day.

With such shocking news, why was it only discussed for a whole day?

Because the second day is July 2, the day when Wang Yi and Thomas played.

Wang Yi has a tight schedule this offseason.

He had to shoot a few commercials in the United States, and then immediately flew to other countries to participate in activities.

In the end, I have to go back to China to prepare for the Olympics.

After the Olympics, I have to fly back to the United States to practice with James Paul and the others. After all, it is a new lineup, so I have to get used to it.

So it seems that the offseason is nearly 5 months, but Wang Yi is still very busy.

That's why he set the time to play Thomas on July 7.

The two will play at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles.

This location was chosen by Thomas.

At first, when the other party asked about the venue of the race, Wang Yi said casually: "You can choose the venue at will. If you don't win, I will lose."

It sounds really domineering.

Thomas' agent murmured in his heart: If you can't win, you lose in the first place.

However, when the venue of the two matches was Rose Stadium in Los Angeles, Wang Yi understood the psychology of these guys.

Their choice of location is very meaningful.

In the 1999 Women's World Cup, the Huaxia Women's Football team won the runner-up.

That was the heyday of Chinese women's football.

In that World Cup, Sun Wen scored 7 goals and won the Golden Boot.

Back then, China was a national celebration.

The final of the World Cup was held at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles.

The opponent of the Chinese women's football team is the US women's football team.

The Chinese women's football team and the US women's football team fought fiercely for 90 minutes and tied 0:0.

In the final penalty shootout, they lost 5:4 regrettably.

It can be called the biggest regret of China Women's Football, and even all China fans.

Now that Thomas' side has arranged the venue for the game here, the intention is very obvious.

Just to humiliate Wang Yi, just to stimulate Wang Yi.

Your women's football team was defeated here, and you have to stumble here today.

When the Huaxia fans knew the location of the game, they all hated their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.

In the end, we can only pin our hopes on Wang Yi.

The day before the match between the two, when a reporter asked Wang Yi: "Thomas chose the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles. What do you think of this choice?"

This time, Wang Yi was not as casual as before.

Instead, he looked at the reporter's camera with cold eyes.

A word burst out of his mouth:
"Choose the location at will, if I don't kill him, I will lose!"
